5．There is a big question making the rounds among the parents at my daughter's class．Should the kids——青夏教育精英家教网—

5．There is a big question making the rounds among the parents at my daughter's class．Should the kids refer to the parents，friends as"Mr．Jones"or"Mrs．Smith"，rather than using their first names？I was quite shocked，having come from a home where it would have been unheard of to refer to one of my parents，friends by their first names．This was reserved for only the closest of family friends and relatives，and even they always had"Aunt"or"Uncle"in front their name．
Respect is something that is earned．Unlike many of the other virtues we try to nurture （培养）in our kids，respect is a bit more complicated．It is not only necessary when dealing well with others，but the virtue of self-respect is critical for kids to succeed and feel good about themselves and their choices throughout their lives．
There are several factors that can have a big impact on kids and their ability to be respectful．The first one to consider is manners．Calling adults by their surnames，setting proper examples during sporting events and while driving，and how we talk to each other in our homes all can have an enormous effect on a child's concept of respect and how important it is．Many of these seemingly trivial（微小的）ideas have become almost outdated，but one should seriously consider the value of these ideas before casting them aside．It is easy to become unaware of these behaviors．Try to keep track of how often your child is subjected to this kind of disrespect．
The media，as you may have guessed，plays a large part in the increase in disrespect．Movies are equally to blame，with a PG movie often containing an abundant amount of profane language．
These factors and others all contribute to an alarming increase in disrespect in society．If we don't step in and change course，we will find living in a morally respectful culture unlikely．

67．What does the author think of kids'referring to parents'friends by their first names？C
A．It is common in his family．    B．It is OK if the friends are close．
C．Such behavior lacks respect．   D．Such behavior sounds funny．
68．What advice does the author give in the passage？B
A．Parents should correct kids'bad behavior before children．
B．Parents should mind their behavior before children．
C．Parents should nurture kids'self-respect from birth．
D．Parents should choose suitable movies for kids．
69．The underlined word"profane"in the fourth paragraph means"A"
A．rude    B．simple    C．complicated  D．respectful
70．What would be the best fide for the passage？A
A．Teaching kids respect     B．How to respect others
C．Respect is a virtue       D．Respecting others is respecting yourself．

4．Acting is such an over-crowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a young person thinking of going on the stage is"Don't!"．But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act，though the chances of his becoming famous are slim．The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school．Usually only students who show promise and talent are accepted，and the course lasts two years．Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a repertory company，usually as an assistant stage manager．This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre：painting scenery，looking after the furniture，taking care of the costumes，and even acting in very small parts．It is very hard work indeed．The hours are long and the salary is tiny．But young actors with the stage in their blood are happy，waiting for the chances of working with a better company，or perhaps in films or television．
Of course，some people have unusual chances which lead to fame and success without this long and dull training．Connie Pratt，for example，was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory．A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop，as he drove past in his big car．He told the driver to stop，and he got out to speak to the girl．He asked her if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test，and at first she thought he was joking．Then she got angry and said she would call the police．It took the producer twenty minutes to tell Connie that he was serious．Then an appointment was made for her to go to the studio the next day．The test was successful．They gave her some necessary lessons and within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day．Of Course，she was given a more dramatic name，which is now world-famous．But chances like this happen once in a blue moon!

65．According to the passage，the main reason why young people should be discouraged from becoming actors isD．
A．actors are very unusual people
B．the course at the drama school lasts two years
C．acting is really a hard job

67．Connie Pratt soon became a famous actress afterD．

3．Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches（路沟） along the highway I travel daily to work．
    There is one particular blue flower that has alwayscaught my eye．I've noticed that it blooms only in the morning hours，the afternoon sun is too warm for it．Every day for approximately two weeks，I see those beautiful flowers．
    This spring，I started a wildflower garden in our yard．I can look out of the kitchen window while doing the dishes and see the flowers．I've often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditch would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers．
    Every day I drove past the flowers thinking，"I'll stop on my way home and dig them．""Gee，I don't want to get my good clothes dirty…"I had wanted to stop and dig them but I didn't make it anyhow．My husband even gave me a folding shovel（钎）one year to be used for that expressed purpose．
    One day on my way home from work，I was saddened to see that the highway department had mowed the ditches and the pretty blue flowers were gone．I thought to myself，"Way to go，you waited too long．You should have done it when you first saw them blooming this spring．''
    A week ago we were shocked and saddened to know that my oldest sister-in-law has a terminal brain tumor（脑瘤晚期）．She is 20 years older than my husband and unfortunately，because of age and distance，we haven't been as close as we all would have liked．
    I couldn't help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husband's sister and us．I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us．
    And yes，if I see the blue flowers again，you can bet I'll stop and transplant them to my wildflower garden．

2．If you are not any kind of a longtime A-list New Yorker celebrity like Woody Allen，chances are that you have never experienced，and will never experience-a meal in a legendary（神奇） Italian-American restaurant called Rao's．
    Rao's，the East Harlem restaurant with a history of more than l00 years，is simply the toughest restaurant to get a reservation in the US，if not the world．Michelin three-star restaurants like elBulli in Spain，often ranked the world's top restaurant，would sell out the second phone lines opened．But in the case of Rao's，the phone lines never open．
  There are about a dozen tables in the tiny restaurant，and each is spoken for，semi-permanently，as regulars have had their reservations for years，and when they can't use them，they often gift them to friends．The place is so small that the owners rarely have the flexibility to do favors even for people they know．
    Since it is always busy，there has never been a need for publicity．The last remarkable national review of the restaurant came from The New York Times more than 35 years ago．It was already tough to get a table at Rao's but reservations have been non-existent ever sincce the magic review．
    According to a critic who is"very，very lucky to have dined at Rao's a few times，"the experience rivals（堪比）the tasty food．There are no menus at Rao's，and one of the owners will pull up a chair and run through the massive list of options，allowing people to have diner by mixing and matching nearly any ingredient（原料）with any classical Italian style of cooking．The place doesn't take credit cards，isn't open on weekends or for 1unch，and"at some point during your meal the one-room restaurant will almost unavoidably break out in song．"It is truly one of a kind，"the critic wrote．

1．Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good，most would admit that their spoken English is poor．Whenever I speak to a Chinese student，they always say，"My spoken English is poor．"（21）E．I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English．
First，they fail to find suitable words to express themselves because of a limited vocabulary．（22）C．However，you can speak with a limited vocabulary，if you choose a positive attitude．Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know．
（23）F．Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous．Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY．Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly．However，in speaking your aim is fluency．You want to make yourselves understand，to talk to someone in English，as quickly and as well as you can，even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense，but it doesn't matter．（24）A．
Third，not enough attention is paid to listening．You have one mouth but two ears!All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking．
Fourth，most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners．Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor．（25）D．

A．The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears．
B．They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time．
C．Obviously the better answer is to expand（扩大）their vocabulary．
D．If you have this proactive outlook，then you will see English opportunities wherever you go．
E．However，their spoken English does not have to remain"poor"!
F．Second，they are afraid of making mistakes．
G．The second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned．

12．Much time and effort has been dedicated to researching the mental health benefits of flexible work environments，but can the ability to leave work early to watch your son's soccer game，or arrive at the office a bit later in the morning in order to see to some personal affairs，have broader physical health benefits beyond making you feel a bit less exhausted？
According to new research published in the Cochrane Library's Cochrane database of Systematic Reviews，it seems so．In a review of 10previous studies examining the health implications of flexible work conditions for more than 16，000people，researchers found that flexible work schedules---when employees can shift their starting times，for example---were associated with improvements in blood pressure，sleep and overall mental health．Specifically，the review showed that more flexibility in work schedules was associated with improvements in alertness，sleep quality，tiredness，heart rate and other primary health outcomes，as well as benefits to secondary health outcomes，such as sensed social support in the workplace and sense of community．And，perhaps unsurprisingly，in all of the studies included in the review，researchers found no evidence for negative effects of more flexible work schedules．
This primary analysis was intended to shed light on the potential health benefits of flexible work options，which are increasingly popular throughout Scandinavia，and have recently gained some ground in the U．K．In the U．S．，the phenomenon is a bit slower to catch on---fewer than a third of U．S．employees have flexible work options，according to estimates from the AARP．Yet，the economic recession（衰退） of recent years may have contributed to growth in workplace flexibility---as companies unable to reward employees with bonuses or raises may turn to other forms of compensation（补偿）．Reuters reported early last year．
Previous research too，of course，has indicated the benefits of flexible work environments toward positive mental health outcomes．And while these latest findings are promising，the researchers stress that more study is vital to understanding the subtle relationship between flexible work and improved health outcomes．For example，employees who are most frequently granted workplace leeway（时间等的充裕） are generally higher-ranking，and as such are likely of higher socioeconomic status，which could impact their overall health apart from work scheduling．To truly grasp the benefits of flexible working conditions，the researchers say，additional study analyzing health outcomes among a wider range of workers---from high-ranking executives to hourly employees---is critical to gaining a deeper understanding of the issue，and helping to shape future workplace policy．
50．Which of the following can best summarize the passage？D
A．The reason why more and more countries adopt flexible work options．
B．The possibility of carrying out flexible work schedules worldwide．
C．Why flexible work options benefits workers in mind．
D．Whether flexible work conditions make healthier workers．
51．Which opinion may the research of Cochrane Library's Cochrane database of Systematic Reviews support？C
A．Flexibility in work schedules may have some passive effects．
B．Flexibility in work schedules has nothing to do with health．
C．Flexible work can benefit people mentally and physically．
D．Flexible work can greatly improve employees'work efficiency．
52．According to what Reuters reported early last year，what result has recent years'economy recession brought？B
A．It has caused the severe decline of employee's salary．
B．It may have led to the growth of workplace flexibility．
C．It may have resulted in many companies'failure．
D．It made companies shorten their employee's working hours．
53．What role does the additional study analyzing different kinds of employees'health outcomes play？A
A．It can help form the future policy of workplace．
B．It is good for spreading the flexible work schedules．
C．It makes more common workers gain workplace freedom．
D．It assists people to better understand flexible work．
54．What is the author's attitude towards flexible working schedules？C
A．Supporting．
B．Critical．
C．Objective．
D．Subjective．

10．Since the beginning of the Internet era it has been pretty widely accepted that when you join an online service，whatever data you put into it belongs to you．That's the way things were-until Facebook came along．Facebook took a different approach．Until recently，everything you put into Facebook-photos，messages，wall posts，your profile info，and，most significant，your address book-could not be exported anywhere．In effect，you didn't own your data．Facebook did．
In October it relaxed things a bit with a policy that lets you export most of your stuff，with one glaring exception：the e-mail addresses of the people on your contact list．All you get is a list of names．Facebook says it can't let you take your friends'e-mail addresses because that information doesn't belong to you； it belongs to your friends．Of course this is rubbish．The reality is that Facebook wants to make it difficult，if not impossible，for you to leave．
Now that policy has sparked a fight between Google and Facebook．Google is steamed because its users can，and often do，export their Gmail contact information into Facebook．But those people can't bring Facebook info back into Gmail．
Earlier this month Google declared it would block exports of its data to services that don't reciprocate -meaning guess who．In a countermove，Facebook hacked around Google's roadblock so its users could keep pulling data from Google．
Google said it was"disappointed"with Facebook's behavior．It also created a warning screen to tell Gmail users that if they export their information to Facebook they won't get it back．
Both companies declined to comment on the record for this story．But what's really going on is that they're at war．Google views Facebook as a threat to its business and has been trying to launch a social-networking service to compete with it．Facebook has rounded up 500million people and intends to generate billions of dollars in revenue（收益） by gathering data about them and selling it to advertisers．
Facebook's position with rival tech companies boils down to this：if you want access to all the information we've collected，strike a deal with us．Microsoft and Yahoo have done that，and now，like magic，they can export Facebook contact info into their systems，while Google still can't．
Remember the early days of the Net，when everything was going to be open and free，and we were all going to share information in a techno-utopia？That was great until people realized that their user data could be turned into gold．Now there are billions at stake，and nobody is playing nice anymore．
41．Before Facebook appeared，people generally believed thatC．
A．they can join any online service at their own will
B．their online information belongs to online service providers
C．they own all the data they put into online services
D．their online service providers should keep their online info secret
42．What does the author think of Facebook preventing its users exporting their e-mail address to other online  services？D
A．It can ensure the safety of its users'information．
B．It has quite reasonable explanation．
C．It is one example often seen in online services．
D．It makes leaving Facebook hard for its users．
43．What's the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 4？A
A．return the favour
B．update in time
C．expand widely
D．guarantee their rights
44．What action did Google take to deal with the threat from Facebook？B
A．It united Microsoft and Yahoo to fight against what Facebook did．
B．It planned to create a social-networking service to fight Facebook．
C．It warned its users of danger of giving away information on Facebook．
D．It created a program preventing Facebook's hackers browsing its site．
45．What does the author say about the Net in its early days？D
A．The data on it was the tool for people to make profit．
B．It didn't allow people to share the information on it．
C．It made people in danger of revealing their privacy on line．
D．All the information it provided was accessible and free of charge．

Last summer，my parents and I had my holiday in Hainan．Before the trip we book plane tickets and hotels on the Internet and got some informations about the places we were going to visit．It was very hot in Hainan that neither of us could stand the heat．Lucky for us，it rained in the first afternoon．The next day，we went to the seaside and lay on the bench，enjoying the beautiful scenery．On third day，we went shopping together and buying lots of seafood for our friends．Although the trip was short，but we had great fun．
