2．Today's children are the"result"of the modern society．Our parents have jobs that keep them busy almost all day long．They only have a free day in a week．This doesn't allow them to keep an eye on their children．
On the other hand，the modern society gives more freedom to the children than they could"handle"．As a child，you don't know how to grow up by yourself until you reach a certain age．That is why you need school and parents to be by your side all the time．If you don't have either of them you may make a lot of mistakes．The social system of the modern society is verylenientespecially with the children．
Most of the children today are rebels （判逆者）．They are rude．They are given too much freedom by their families．This is their parent's mistake．They ought to know that the freedom they give to their children is misunderstood．
For example it is a bad thing for a 17-year-old child to go out in the evening on weekends．Parents are also guilty of the way their children show up in the street or at school．The same guilt belongs to the teaching system as well．Pupils shouldn't be allowed to dress like they were on a fashion presentation at school．
Another important fact we can think of regarding the freedom of children is their free will of spending money．Parents shouldn't allow their children to spend money on whatever they want．
I think children are given too much freedom not only by their parents，but also by the society．The latter is more to be blamed!

64．The writer implies that parents'busy lifestyleD．
A．makes their children become independent
B．may lead to a tense parent-child relationship
C．is harmful to their children's health
D．is likely to create a troubled generation

A．should stay at home on weekends     
B．can wear trendy clothes at school
C．had better wear school uniform at school                
D．can be allowed to go out in the evenings

A．The social environment
B．The educational system．
C．Each family
D．The school．

分析 本文主要讲述了现代社会对孩子过去宽容，给孩子的自由太多，导致孩子的教育方面出了很多的问题．

12．All over the world mothers and fathers teach their children manners．Other children may have manners that are not like yours．There are all kinds of manners．
Many years ago，children who had good manners were seen and not heard．They kept quite quiet if grown-ups were talking．Today，well-mannered children have more freedom．
Sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in other places．
Suppose you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia．Some friends ask you to eat with them．What kind of manners do they want you to have？They want you to give a loud"burp"（打嗝）after you finish eating．Burping would show that you liked your food．
In some countries，if you give a loud burp，you are told to say"excuse me，please．"
In many places people like to eat together．But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating at all．People show good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat．
What are manners like in an East African town？The people try not to see you．They are being polite．You may see a friend．He may not see you at all．If you are polite，you will sit down beside him．You will wait until he finishes what he is doing．Then he will talk to you．
Suppose you visit a friend in Arabia．You should walk behind the other tents until you come to his tent．If you pass in front of the other tents，you will be asked into each one．People will ask you to eat with them．And it is bad manners if you say no．
Manners are different all over the world．But it is good to know that all manners begin in the same way．People needed ways to show that they wanted to be friends．

28．People turn their backs on others while they eat inA．
A．some parts of Polynesia．
B．an East African town．
C．Mongolia．
D．Arabia．
29．In an East African town，the people try not to see you．This is becauseC．
A．they are busy doing things．
B．they don't want to talk with you．
C．it is good manners．
D．they are waiting for you to talk with them．
30．Which of the following statements is True？A
A．Manners are different all over the world．
B．Children with good manners are quiet．
C．You should not walk behind the tents in Arabia．
D．In Mongolia，you should say"excuse me"when you give a burp after dinner．

A．Different kinds of manners．
B．What are good manners？
C．Children's manners are different．
D．When you are in Rome，do as the Romans do．
13．How to Take a Nap
Whether you think you need daytime rest or not，picking up a nap habit-or continuing to make time for one-is a smart，healthy move．Consider the evidence：The Mayo Clinic says naps promote relaxation，reduce tiredness，better mood and recover alertness （机敏）．A 2010British study found that compared to getting more nighttime sleep or drinking more coffee，a mid-day nap was the best way to cope with the mid-afternoon slump （萎靡）．
The Harvard Health Letter says that several studies have shown that people remember new information better when they take a nap shortly after learning it．And，unbelievably，a 2007study of nearly 24，000Greek adults in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that people who napped regularly had a 37percent reduced risk of dying from heart disease compared to people who didn't nap．
To get the most out of your rest，follow these tips．
How long to sleep：Naps provide different benefits depending on how long they are，says MentaIFloss．com．A 20-minute nap will promote alertness and concentration； a 90-minute nap which includes deeper stages of sleep，can strengthen creativity．The danger zone is when you're somewhere in between，because waking up in the middle of a sleep cycle can lead to sleep inertia（惯性）．SO stick to 20or 90minutes for maximum benefits．If you wake up from a nap feeling confused or more tired，it's likely that your timing was just off．
What time to sleep：Prevention．corn says that you experience a natural dip in body temperature （the same kind that makes you feel sleepy at night） between 1p．m．and 3p．m．A power nap at this time can promote alertness for several hours and，for most people，won't affect being able to fall asleep at night．
How to get comfortable：MentalFloss．com says it takes about 50percent longer to fall asleep sitting up than lying down．（That's why we sleep so poorly on planes and trains!） Pick a dark，cozy place that's not too warm or too chilly．Prevention．com recommends napping on the couch instead of in bed，so you won't snooze for too long．
Surprisingly，the best place to sleep may be a hammock （吊床） if you have one．A Swiss study published last year found that people fell asleep faster and had deeper sleep when they napped in a hammock than in a bed．That same rocking motion that causes babies to sleep works wonders for grown-ups too．
Consider a"caffeine nap"：It sounds strange，but drinking coffee right before a nap may be the perfect aid for maximum alertness．Since caffeine takes 20to 30minutes to take full effect，you'll feel even more alert after your 20-minute nap．
10．If your friend and family get fat，chances are you will，too．Researchers report in a new study that suggests obesity is"socially contagious（传染性的）"and can spread easily from person to person．
The large，federally funded study found that to be true even if your loved ones lived far away．Social ties seemed to play a surprisingly strong role，even more than genes are known to do．
"We were shocked to find that friends who are hundreds of miles away have just as much impact on a person's weight status as friends who are right next door．"Said coauthor James Fowler of the University of California，San Diego．
The study found a person's chances of becoming fat went up 57percent if a friend did，40percent if a sibling（兄弟姐妹） did and 37percent if a spouse（配偶） did．
Researchers think it's more than just people with similar eating and exercise habits hanging out together．Instead，it may be that having relatives and friends who become obese changes one's idea of what is an acceptable weight．
Despite their findings，the researchers said people should not stop their friendships．"There is a ton of research that suggest that having more friends makes you healthier，"Fowler said．"So the last thing that you want to do is get rid of any of your friends．"
The study was published in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine and funded by the National Institute on Aging．
Obesity is a global public health problem．About 1.5billion adults worldwide are overweight，including more than 400million who are obese．Twothirds of Americans are either overweight or obese．
Much of the recent research focus has been on the intense hunt for obesity genes involved in appetite or calorie burning．Treatment has been mainly centered on helping individuals curb（抑制） their weight through better diet and fitness．The findings could open a new way for treating this worldwide obesity．The researchers said it might be helpful to treat obese people in groups instead of just the individual．

72．Treating obesity at present is mainly byC．
A．not keeping in touch with your relatives and friends
B．taking some lossweight pills
C．going on proper diets and having right exercise
D．getting rid of obesity genes involved in appetite or calorie burning
73．According to the new study，obesity is"socially contagious"，which seems to be mainly  caused byB．
A．genes   B．social ties   C．living conditions   D．diets
74．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 6mean？A
A．It is unwise for us to get rid of any of our friends because of obesity．
B．The best way of preventing obesity is to get rid of any of our friends．
C．If we want to keep fit，we must get rid of some friends．
D．We must make a good choice between obesity and friends．
75．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？B
A．The new study suggests about 1.5billion people worldwide are overweight．
B．Gene is one of the factors that have something to do with obesity．
C．Friendship and obesity are both of great importance．
D．It might be helpful to treat obese people just as the individual instead of in groups．
17．If someone drops a fork at Dinner in the Sky，a seven-ton platform may have to be lowered 50meters to pick up a new one．Joining a growing trend （倾向） for extreme dining---from supper in the dark to eating in the jungle---Dining in the Sky takes the concept to new heights，with a selected group of guests sitting around a table suspended （悬挂） 50meters in the air．
You could be eating above a forest，a beach or in the midst of a European capital，floating above landmarks usually only seen from the ground．Whatever the location，the aim is to elevate（提高） dinning out of the ordinary．
That's the case with the Brussels edition of Dinner in the Sky，which during June gives 22dinners at a time the chance to enjoy gourmet（珍馐的） food while suspended near sites such as the Royal Palace and the famed Atomium（原子塔）．
"I just thought，wouldn't it be nice if we could eat up here？"explained Stefan Kerkhofs，one of the Belgian creators．
Kerkhofs，who used to set up bungee-jumping and amusement park installations，partnered with marketing executive David Ghelys to develop Dinner in the Sky six years ago．The two now travel the world putting on dramatic dining shows．
Kerkhofs has designed and built 40platforms and charges up to 250euros a head for the experience，with Las Vegas，Barcelona，Paris，Monaco and Tokyo all popular destinations（目的地）．
Besides the beautiful views from up above，Dinner in the Sky also ensures that the food is first-class，with some of the world's top chefs preparing the meals．One recent menu included gourmet dishes such as foie gras （鹅肝） and lobster with lemongrass．
Of course，Kerkhofs has to think seriously about security，too．Diners are carefully strapped （捆绑） into seats similar to those on a rollercoaster （过山车） and elevated gently by crane to the height，which depends on wind and other weather conditions，but hits a maximum of 50meters．

66．What is"Dinner in the Sky"？B
A．It's an idea of kerkhofs and David Ghelys．
B．It's an event in which guests dine at heights of up to 50meters above the ground．
C．It's an event that guests dine over the forests．
D．It's an event that guests dine over the the European capitals．
67．The aim of Dinner in the Sky is toA．
A．elevate dining out of the ordinary
B．show off the people's fortune
C．call on people to protect the environment
D．train people's courage
68．Guests of Dinner in the Sky can enjoyC．
A．spectacular views from up above and fresh air
B．first-class food and fresh air
C．spectacular views from up above and first-class food
D．fresh air and gourmet dishes such as foie gras
69．How do creators ensure diners'safety up in the air？C
A．Diners are put into a steel box．
B．Diners should put on expensive and strong clothes．
C．Diners are strapped into seats similar to those on a rollercoaster．
D．Diners ate strapped into the buildings similar to those on a rollercoaster．
70．Which of the following is True？D
A．Dinners in the sky are free of charge．
B．The food of Dinner in the sky is cheap．
C．David Ghelys haven't decided to develop Dinner in the Sky with Kerkhofs．
D．Kerkhofs used to set up bungee-jumping and amusement park installations．
7．As is shown in a recent study，the way people sleep at night actually determines a lot about the type personality they have．Robert Phipps，a body language expert，has identified four sleeping positions that affect personality．
Phipps found that worriers，those who stress the most，tend to sleep in the fetal（胎儿的） position．He found that this is by far the most common bedtime position，sleeping on their side with knees up and head down．The more we curl up（蜷曲），the more comfort we are seeking，according to Phipps．
The second most common position is the log，indicating stubbornness．People sleep with a straight body，with arms at each side，as if they are standing guard at Buckingham Palace，and these people （the 28 percent who sleep this way） often wake up stiffer（更僵硬） than when they went to sleep．"The longer you sleep like this，the more rigid your thinking is and you can become inflexible，which means you make things harder for yourself，"according to Phipps．
Yearner（向往型的） sleepers are next on the list．About 25 percent of people sleep in this style----on their backs with arms stretched out in front，looking as if they are either chasing a dream or perhaps being chased themselves．Yearners are typically their own worst critics，always expecting great results，explained Phipps．These people often wake up refreshed and eager to face the challenges of the day ahead．
Perhaps the most special sleep style is the freefaller position．This sleep style makes up 17 percent of the population．They sleep face down with arms stretched out．These people，according to Phipps，feel like they have little control over their life．Not only is this the strangest of sleep styles，it also the least comfortable，and people may wake up feeling tired and have no energy．
In conclusion，Phipps has only one more thing to add："A good night's sleep sets you up for the following day and our sleeping positions can determine how we feel when we wake．"
55．Which of the following pictures is the fetal position？D

D．The freefaller position
58．What is the passage mainly about？D
A．Which sleeping position helps you sleep comfortably？
B．A good night's sleep sets you up for the following day．
C．How you sleep at night affects what you do the next day．

14．This week，we talk about the application process for American colleges and universities．This is part eight in our Foreign Student Series．
Earlier，we explained how to begin a search for schools by going to one of the American educational advising centers around the world．We also discussed the rules for entering in the United States．And we talked about programs that can be completed online．
But if your goal is to come to the United States to study，then it is time to make a list of colleges or universities that interest you．Be sure to choose more than one．Directors of foreign student admissions say students should apply to at least three schools．
Some students want to attend a small college．Others want to go to a big university．If a really big university appeals to you，then there are ones likeOhio State．That university in Columbus，Ohio，in the Midwest，has almost fifty-two thousand students．There are students this year from around one hundred fifty countries．
Ohio State provides international students with an application on its Web site．You can pay the application charge online with a credit card．Or you can print the forms and mail them with the payment．
Many colleges and universities have their applications and also their catalogs online．
You should start on your applications at least two years before you want to begin studies．
Completing a college application can take some time．But answering all the questions is not enough．Another important step is taking admissions tests．The SAT is the college entry test that American high school students most commonly take．Another one is the ACT．
Colleges and universities may also require international students to take the TOEFL--the Test of English as a Foreign Language．
If you have a general question for our Foreign Student Series，write to special@voanews．com．
55．What purpose do Paragraphs 1 and 2 serve in the passage？D

D．the name of a web site
57．Besides a college application，you are required to takeBtest（s） if you're not an American．
A．only one         B．two          C．three        D．no
58．What will the author most probably talk about next time？D

C．How to connect American educational advising center．
D．More detailed information about tests to take．
11．Parties，iPods，concerts，movies，TV shows，video games，traffic．All of these things of the modern world make life entertaining and enjoyable．But our 21st-century lifestyle is also loud and，if we don't take notice，it can have an effect on our hearing．
Most teenagers don't think about hearing loss．But if you experience any of the following symptoms，you may already be hearing damaged：you make efforts to hear normal talk，you have to turn up the TV or radio so high that others complain，you watch other people's expressions to understand what they are saying，you ask people to repeat themselves，you misunderstand what people are saying or you hear ringing in your ears．
iPods and other MP3 players are as common as the clothes you wear，and just as fashionable．But if you turn up an iPod to more than 60 percent of its maximum volume，and listen to music for more than an hour，you are asking for trouble．And，it does not matter if the music you play is classical，rock or heavy metal．
Some researchers find that young people who break the so-called 60-percent/60-minute rule in listening to iPods are at the risk of suffering hearing loss．
Why is an iPod dangerous？With ear buds placed directly in the ear canal and high-volume music played over a long period of time，it's like working in a loud factory all day，being a maintenance person under a jet airplane or using a jackhammer（手提钻）on a building site．
Similarly，iPod music can cause a short time or permanent hearing damage．A loud iPod can cause a ruptured（破裂的）eardrum and，over time，may cause permanent damage to the tiny hairs in the inner ear．If these tiny hairs are damaged，they cannot effectively send sounds to the auditory nerves（听觉神经）that connect to the brain．If this happens，hearing loss becomes permanent．
67．Which of the following shows that you are suffering hearing loss？B
A．You are interested to listen to others'talking．
B．You have to read others'expressions to understand them．
C．You can only understand others over the phone．
D．You always think you hear the ringing of the phone．
68．Which of the following is TRUE when you listen to music？C
A．Listen at least an hour every time．
B．Turn up the volume to the highest level．
C．Keep the sound lower than 60% of its highest volume．
D．Choose classical，rock or heavy metal music．
69．What is the correct order of causing permanent hearing loss？D
a．The eardrum is broken．
b．The auditory nerves cannot receive sounds．
c．Tiny hairs are damaged．
d．Ear buds are placed directly in the ear canal．
e．High-volume music is played over a long time．
A．d-a-c-b-e           B．e-c-a-b-d              C．b-c-a-d-e           D．d-e-a-c-b
70．This passage is mainly aboutB．
A．music that teenagers like         
B．hearing problems caused by the loud world
C．ways that teenagers enjoy music     
D．dangerous modern lifestyles of teenagers．
12．People often talk as if shyness is a disease or mental condition that can be cured．I prefer to think of it as an emotional disability．It's something we are born with and something we carry with us in our entire lives．There are too many people，however，who seem to be determined to find some way of doing away with their shyness．In my opinion，it's a waste of time．I don't mean that we should do nothing about it； quite the contrary，I think we need to separate the basic fact of our shyness from our ability to take part in a social environment．
Look at one of the most famous shy people of them all，Johnny Carson．This man is painfully shy，yet for decades he made a living talking and associating with different people every night，in front of a national audience．Carson has never done away with his shyness，but he has successfully found a way to deal with it to the extent that he could be，not just a talk show host，but a legend among talk show hosts．Look also at Sally Fields，who has recently admitted her problem with shyness．This is a woman who has appeared in many films，TV shows and interviews，yet in her early years she was so shy that she turned down a lunch invitation from Jane Fonda because she was terribly afraid of meeting her．
I guess that our shyness is there because each of us is born with some insecurity and this insecurity prevents us from reaching out to others the way people with a more open personality do．As we grow up and become adults，we allow our social skills to grow and develop．But we are still stuck in kindergarten or elementary school or wherever it was when our shyness took root in our soul．
62．In the author's view，shyness can be explained asD．
A．a not very normal mental condition
B．a disease that can be easily cured
C．something we pick up after birth
D．a kind of emotional disability
63．From the passage，we know that Johnny CarsonA．
A．has dealt with shyness very successfully
B．has done away with his shyness carefully
C．is described as a hero in some legend books
D．failed to become a good talk show host
64．The passage tells us that Sally Fields wasD．
A．proud all the time
