16．Long ago there were two people---a young father and an old neighbor．One day the young father was visiting the old neighbor．They were standing in the old man's garden，talking about children．The young man said，"How strict should parents be with their children？"
The old man pointed to a string（绳子）between a big strong tree and a thin young one．"Please untie（解开）that string，"he said．The young man untied it，and the young tree bent over to one side．"Now tie it again，please，"said the old man，"but first pull the string tight so that the young tree is straight again．"
The young man did so．Then the old man said，"There，it is the same with children．You must be strict with them，but sometimes you must untie the string to know how they are getting on．If they are not yet able to stand alone，you must tie the string tight again．But when you find that they are ready to stand alone，you can take the string away．"

15．Cast your mind back to the past twenty years and hardly did anyone have their own email account．The Internet had just taken off in 1991and people were only using office and PCbased email exchanges．
In the mid 1990s external email providers appeared．The most famous of these was Hotmail，the first free email provider and webbased email service．Sabeer Bhatia and Jack Smith launched Hotmail on July 4，1996．And Microsoft took note of and bought Hotmail for $400million on December 30，1997，a nice birthday present for Bhatia who turned 29that day．It was relaunched as MSN Hotmail and in 2007was relaunched again as Windows Live Hotmail．
Fast forward the present day and most of us have at least a personal webbased email account．It seems impossible to live without them．One of the biggest advantages of email is the fact that communication has become so much easier，especially with those across different time zones．Email takes seconds to send a message whereas letters，as we used to communicate by，could take weeks．Of course there was the fax，that beeping invention from the 1980s，but it wasn't as secure as email and you never knew if the person on the other end had picked up your fax or if it had got lost somewhere in the office．
In conclusion，one of the best inventions from the 1990s has to be email．But sometimes people are too closely connected to their email and have a compulsion to check it several times a day．At work，people have become lazy and instead of going to speak to the person sitting next to them，they send an email，causing an in box to pile up with more time spent reading email and responding rather than working．Clearly，an invention that saved time because of its quick and speedy connection can now also cause us to waste a lot of time．

A．in 1991 B．in 1996 C．in 1997 D．in 2007

61．Which is the main idea of the last paragraph？D
A．We should check email boxes frequently．
B．Lazy people like sending an email．

14．The UK has a well-respected higher education system and some of the top universities and research institutions in the world．But to those who are new to it all，sometimes it can be confusing．
October is usually the busiest month in the college calendar．Universities have something called Freshers'Week for their newcomers．It's a great opportunity to make new friends，join lots of clubs and settle into university life．
However，having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind，the prospect （前景） of meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be nerve-wracking （令人焦虑不安的）．Where do you start？Who should you make friends with？Which clubs should you join？
Luckily，there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you worrying about starting their university social life on the right foot．So just take it all in slowly．Don't rush into anything that you'll regret for the next three years．
Here are some top advice from past students on how to survive Freshers'Week：
●Learn rules．Make sure you know British social etiquette （礼节）．Have a few wine glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends．
●Be kind．Sometimes cups of tea or even slices of toast can give you a head start in making friends．
●Be sociable．The more active you are，the more likely you'll be to meet new people than if you're someone who never leaves his room．
●Bring a doorstop．Keep your door open when you're in and that sends positive messages to your neighbors that you're friendly．
So with a bit of clever planning and effort，Freshers'Week can give you a great start to your university life and soon you'll be passing on your experience to next year's freshers．
