3．Today，home-ownership has reached extremely high levels．Modern generations tend to believe there is something wrong with them if they rent．However，is high home-ownership really as people imagine？Staring at data first，we realize that the most successful，stable，attractive country in the Western world is Switzerland．It has tiny unemployment； wealth； high happiness and mental-health scores．Does it have high home-ownership rates？Absolutely not．In Switzerland，about seven in ten of the population are renters．Yet，with Europe's lowest home-ownership rate，the nation thrives．Now go to the other end of the misery distribution．Spain has approximately the highest home-ownership rate in Europe （at more than 80%）．But one-quarter of its population are unemployed．
A likely reason is that high levels of home-ownership mess up the labour market．In a sensibly functioning economy it is easy for people to move around to drop into the vibrant job slots thrown up by technological change．With a high degree of owner-occupation，everything slows．Folk get stuck．Renters can go to new jobs．In that way they do the economy a favours．As Friedman said，the rate of unemployment depends on the flexibility of the housing market．
Next we come to economic breakdown．Most analysts accept that at heart it was the housing market-obsessive pursuit of homes，the engendered mortgage（房贷） lending and an unavoidable house-price crash-that sank the Western world．Germany，say，with its more efficient rental market，had a far smoother ride through trouble．
As for the monetary system，in the past few decades，in the hope of getting untaxed capital gains way above their true labour earnings，many people threw their spare cash into buying larger houses or building extra bedrooms．TV programmes about how to make easy money，beautiful rising house prices，and most importantly，our faulty tax system encouraged that．When at some point market broke down，everyone suffered．Our countries ought，instead，to design tax systems that encourage people to invest in productive real activities and in innovation．Renting leaves money free for better purposes．
That also points to the role of sensible budgeting over a person's lifetime．Why should we think that when we die it is necessary to have paid off an entire house？Our children do not deserve it．Let them pay for themselves．We should rent-and enjoy our lives with the money saved．
Finally，moderation usually pays off．Our scientific understanding of how economies function is horribly limited．This suggests that the golden rule should be to avoid extremes．A50-50mix of home-ownership and renting，not the 70-30split that is now observed in so many Western nations，makes sense．

74．The cases of Switzerland and Spain prove thatD
A．low home-ownership rate at about 30% is most favourable for economy
B．home-ownership mainly decides a country's citizens'mental health
C．home-ownership has a lot to do with a country's technological development
D．low home-ownership increases the mobility of job market and economy
75．The main reason to make people invest in housing market isA
A．the problematic taxing approach favouring house buying
B．people's desire to avoid their money from devaluing
C．easy channels to obtain methods to make easy money
D．people's wishes to live in large and more comfortable houses
76．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passageB？
A．Switzerland suffers the worse unemployment in Europe
B．Renting allows more money into more creative economic activites
C．Germany's effective mortgage system saw it through the western economic crisis
D．Our children have the right to enjoy the housing property we have paid off
77．What opinion does the author agree with mostC？
A．People should learn the workings of housing market
B．Laws should be set up to stop people from buying houses
C．An adequate rate of home-ownership should be kept
D．People should follow the good example of Europe in housing investment．

1．Grandparents might be known for spoiling grandchildren，but a new study says they might also be helping the kids improve their social skills and behavior．
Spending time with grandma and grandpa especially appears to help children from single-parent，divorced/separated or stepfamily households，according to the report，published in the February Journal of Family Psychology．
"Grandparents are a positive force for all families but play a significant role in families undergoing difficulties，"the study's lead author，Shalhevet Attar-Schwartz，of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem，said in an American Psychological Association news release．"They can reduce the negative influence of parents separating and be a resource for children who are going through these family changes．"
In interviewing 11-to 16-year olds from England and Wales，Attar-Schwartz and her team found that the more conversations the youths had with a grandparent，including asking for advice or even money，the better they got along with their peers and the fewer problems they had，such as hyperactivity and disruptive behavior．
"This was found across all three family structures，"she said．"But adolescents in single-parent households and stepfamilies benefited the most．The effect of their grandparents'involvement was stronger compared to children from two biological parent families．"
The study did not look at children who lived solely with their grandparents，though．
The findings have great implications for people in the United States，the authors said，because American grandparents are increasingly sharing living space with their grandchildren．A 2004 U．S．Census Bureau survey found that more than 5 million households include a grandparent and a grandchild under 18，up 30 percent since 1990，according to background information in the news release．
31．It is generally believed that a grandmotherC．
A．can help a child through hard times
B．can help kids develop social skills
C．can spoil a child
D．is a positive force for all families
32．According t o the passage，grandparents will be of least benefit to a childA
A．from two biological parent families
B．from a single-parent household
C．from a divorced household
D．from a stepfamily household
33．A child who asks his grandmother for money willB
A．have difficulty in getting along with his peers
B．still get along well with his peers
C．be easier to be spoiled than his peers
D．not be popular with peers
34．We can learn from the last paragraph thatA．
A．there are more families in America undergoing difficulties
B．American parents are much busier than those from other countries
C．American grandparents are much better at bringing up their grandchildren
D．American kids like to share more living space with their grandparents
35．The passage implies thatB．
A．children who live solely with their grandparents may benefit the most
B．grandparents are a source of comfort to children from families undergoing difficulties
C．grandparents play a more positive role th an parents in children's growth
D．all families should leave their children to be brought up by grandparents．
8．When you think about math，you probably don't think about breaking the law，solving mysteries or finding criminals．But a mathematician in Maryland does，and he has come up with mathematical tools to help police find criminals．
People who solve crimes look for patterns that might reveal （揭示） the identity of the criminal．It's long been believed，for example，that criminals will break the law closer to where they live，simply because it's easier to get around in their own neighborhood．If police see a pattern of robberies in a certain area，they may look for a suspect who lives near the crime scenes．So，the farther away from the area a crime takes place，the less likely it is that the same criminal did it．
But Mike O'Leary，a mathematician at Towson University in Maryland，says that this kind of approach may be too simple．He says that police may get better clues to the location of a criminal's home base by combining these patterns with a city's layout （布局） and historical crime records．
The records of past crimes contain geographical information and can reveal easy targets-that is，the kind of stores that might be less difficult to rob．Because these stores are along roads，the locations of past crimes contain information about where major streets and intersections are．O'Leary is writing a new computer program that will quickly provide this kind of information for a given city．His program also includes information about the people who live in the city，and information about how a criminal's patterns change with age．It's been shown，for example，that the younger the criminal，the closer to home the crime．
Other computer programmers have worked on similar software，but O'Leary's uses more math．The mathematician plans to make his computer program available，free of charge，to police departments around the country．
The program is just one way to use math to fight crime．O'Leary says that criminology-the study of crime and criminals-contains a lot of good math problems．"I feel like I'm in a gold mine and   I'm the only one who knows what gold looks like，"he says．"It's a lot of fun．"

61．To find criminals，police usuallyD．
A．check who are on the crime scene
B．seek help from local people
C．depend on new mathematical tools
D．focus on where crimes take place
62．O'Leary is writing a computer program thatC．
A．uses math to increase the speed of calculation
B．tells the identity of a criminal in a certain area
C．provides the crime records of a given city
D．shows changes in criminals'patterns
63．By"I'm the only one who knows what gold looks like"，O'Leary means that heC．
A．is better at finding gold than others
B．is the only one who uses math to make money
C．knows best how to use math to help solve crimes
D．has more knowledge of gold than other mathematicians
64．What do you know about O'Leary according to the passage？B
A．He is a man full of impractical imagination．
B．He is a man full of self-confidence．
C．He is a man who is talkative but lazy．
D．He is a man who doesn't like mathematics．
65．What is the main idea of the text？A
A．Math could help police find criminals．
B．Criminals live near where crimes occur．
C．Crime records could be used to fight crime．
D．Computer software works in preventing crimes．

2．How To Choose A College That's Right For You
There are many schools out there to choose from-some known and some less known，all worthy of your attention．（16）G
1．Start with who you are and why you are going．
（17）D Why，really，are you going？What are your abilities and strengths？What are your weaknesses？
2．（18）E
Think about the people in your life who are happy and successful and find out where （and if） they went to college．Ask the same about famous people．You will likely find that success in life has less to do with the choice of college．
3．（19）C
If you make the assumption that you cannot afford college based on the sticker price of tuition，you will miss out．It is difficult to talk about money，but if you investigate all the options and ask for help and advice，you will find affordable choices．
4．The most important factor in choosing a college is fit．
Choosing a college because your friends are going there or because of where it ranks on a list does not take into account who you are and who you will become．（20）B Finding a good fit requires time and thoughtfulness．

A．You don t have to go to college right away，and it s never too late．
B．College is a match to be made，not a prize to be won．
C．You can afford to go to college．
D．You need to examine yourself and your reasons for going to college before you start your search．
E．A name-brand college will not guarantee your success．
F．Size matters：Your college does not have to be bigger than your high school．
G．Here's some advice for trying to find the school that works for you．
18．Most men don't like ____________ fun of in public places，especially when their female friends stay with them．（　　）
