4．It was a secret Eli kept until he was 8years old．
"He would scream，like we were hurting him when we tried to put a skirt on him．"recalled Grace，his mother．That was when Eli was an 18-month-old baby girl already rejecting anything female．
Now，Eli's mother and Eli are sharing their story with CBS New York．Eli still remembers being a baby，and rejecting putting on a dress．"Oh，I remember that，"he said．"It was like torture．"Now Eli is 11years old．He is，by all accounts，a happy，active boy who never doubted he was born the wrong sex．Eli said to CBS New York．It was hard to keep that secret for 8years though，"It was kind of hard because I hadn't really told anyone ever，"he said．
"He said，‘I have a secret，and the secret is I don't want to be a girl．I think I'm a boy，'"Grace recalled．"…I thought，‘I don't know what we're going to do，but we're going to figure it out．'"
CBS New York reports that it was a less clear path for Ryan，now a 21-year-old man．He，too，was born female，but never felt like one．
He didn't understand his feelings at the time．Then he learned about what it meant to be transgender on the Internet，and it began to make sense．"It was a relief to know what exactly I was or am，"he said．
Ryan's mother said at first it was hard to accept．"It's a scary thing to think about，"she said．But she came around．"I was glad my son is able to become the person he needed to be，"she said．
Experts say the kind of family support both Ryan and Eli are getting is of great significance．Without it，many transgender kids suffer from anxiety，depression and high rates of suicide．
"We see a lot of kids with a lot of mental health concerns，and we also see that those mental health concerns really reduced when the family is on board，"said Jean Malpas of Ackerman Institute for the Family，a non-profit research organization to CBS New York．
Grace said for her it went from a situation that felt really confusing and difficult to one that she now celebrates．"We feel so lucky to have him．"she said．

B．a scientific journal
C．a survey report

32．What can we learn from this passage？C
A．Many people feel difficult to accept who themselves really are．

1．A report brought back by most visitors to the US is how friendly，polite，and helpful most Americans were to them．To be fair，this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians，and should best be considered North American．There are，of course，exceptions．Small-minded officials，rude waiters，and ill-mannered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US．Yet it is an observation made so frequently that it deserves comment．
For a long period of time and in many parts of the country，a traveler was a welcome break in an otherwise dull existence．Dullness and loneliness were common problems of the families who generally lived distant from one another．Strangers and travelers were welcome sources of distraction，and brought news of the outside world．
The tough realities of the border also shaped this tradition of hospitality．Someone traveling alone，if hungry，injured，or ill，often had nowhere to turn except to the nearest settler agent．It was not a matter of choice for the traveler or merely a charitable impulse on the part of the settlers．It reflected the hardship of daily life：if you didn't take in the stranger and take care of him，there was no one else who would．And someday，remember，you might be in the same situation．
Today there are many charitable organizations which specialize in helping the exhausted traveler．Yet，the old tradition of hospitality to strangers is still very strong in the US，especially in the smaller cities and towns away from the busy tourist routes．"I was just traveling through，got talking with this American，and pretty soon he invited me home for dinner-amazing．"Such observations reported by visitors to the US are not uncommon，but are not always understood properly．The casual friendliness of many Americans should be interpreted neither as superficial）nor as artificial，but as the result of a historically developed cultural tradition．
As is true of any developed society，in America a complex set of cultural signals and customs is the basis of all social interrelationships．And，of course，speaking a language does not necessarily mean that someone understands social and cultural patterns．Visitors who fail to"translate"cultural meanings properly often draw wrong conclusions．For example when an American uses the word"friend"，the cultural meanings of the word may be quite different from those it has in the visitor's language and culture．It takes more than a brief encounter on a bus to tell polite customs from individual interest．Yet，being friendly is a virtue that many Americans value highly and expect from both neighbors and strangers．
32．In the eyes of visitors from the outside world，D．
A．rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the US
B．small-minded officials deserve a serious comment
C．Canadians are not so friendly as their neighbors
D．most Americans are ready to offer help
33．It could be inferred from the last paragraph thatA．
A．culture has an influence over social inter-relationship
B．polite customs and individual interest are inter-related
C．various virtues shows themselves only among friends
D．social inter-relationships equal the complex set of cultural customs
34．Families in border settlements used to entertain strangersC．
A．to improve their hard life
B．in view of their long-distance travel
C．to add some flavor to their own daily life
D．out of a charitable impulse
35．The tradition of hospitality to strangersB．
A．tends to be superficial and artificial
B．is generally well kept up in the United States
C．is always understood properly
D．has something to do with the busy tourist route．

20．We all hate speed cameras，don't we？They're not there to slow drivers down and lower the road accidents； they just make money for the government．They trick us，cost us cold hard cash，disturb us from driving properly and are unfair．
Well，here's a surprising thing：what if there were facts that the boring cameras actually saved lives？It's a conclusion difficult to ignore when you look at what's happening in France，a country with a historically poor record of road safety．
There were 16，617road deaths in 1972in France for example，but that dropped to 8412by 1995following rules such as compulsory seat belt wearing in 1990and a lowering of the blood alcohol limit to 0.05in 1995．
Last year，the road deaths dropped below 5，000for the first time，or 4.9per cent less than 2004．Comparing road deaths to population in 2005，that's about 817per million people compared with Australia's 806．
And guess what？Last year the number of speed cameras on French roads reached 1，000and the government plans to double that within the next three years．
Okay，you know the arguments regarding increased traffic safety and cameras-for-income，but it seems in France there's been a major cultural change brought on by radars and other laws．A three-hour，wine-soaked lunch with a quick rush back to the office is no longer on．
Travelling on the highways，it is rare to see anyone breaking the 130km/h speed limit when once few traveled below it．The speed cameras are clearly signed so drivers know when they are coming．There's even an official web site listing fixed and mobile camera locations and it is updated regularly．
Maybe it is because of such transparency（透明） by government，rather than the concealment too often used by authorities in many other countries that more French can enjoy la joi de vivre thanks to speed cameras．

56．Generally，it seems to most people that speed cameras are used toB
A．slow down the traffic
B．make money for the government
C．lower the road accidents
D．help us drive properly
57．From the passage we can learn thatC．
A．France has a very poor record of road safety
B．we'd better ignore the evidence that speed cameras save lives
C．France does successfully in controlling road accidents
D．France had less road deaths than Australia in 2005
58．Which seems more effective in lowering road deaths in France according to this passage？A
A．Compulsory seat belt．
B．Placing more speed cameras．
C．Lowering blood alcohol limit．
D．Eating in a shorter time．
59．Now you can seldom see in FranceB．
A．people drive at a speed of less than 130km/h
B．lunch time lasts long hours with drunk people rushing back to office
C．drivers drive according to the traffic lights
D．police conduct traffic in streets

18．The Brown Bear
My wife Laura and I were on the beach，with three of our children，taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear．The bear was thin and small，moving aimlessly．
Just a few minutes later，I heard my daughter shouting，"Dad!The bear is right behind us!"An agreesive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute．This one was silent and its ears pinned back----the sign （迹象） of an animal that is going in for the kill．And it was a cold April day．The bear behaved abnormally，probably because of hunger．
I held my camera tripod （三脚架） in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me．Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders，and the tripod stuck across its mouth．It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight．I knew I would not be able to hold it for long．
Even so，this was a fight I had to win：I was all that stood between the bear and my family，who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear．
The bear hit at the camera，cutting it off the tripod．I raised my left arm to protect my face； the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side．My arm could not move，and I sensed that my bones were going to break．
Drawing back my free hand，I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times．The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur，trying to push it away．I was actually wrestling （扭打） with the bear at this point．Then，as suddenly as it had begun，the fight ended．The bear moved back toward the forest，before returning for another attack-----The first time I felf panic．
Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat，the bear moved off，destroying a fence as it went．My arm was injured，but the outcome for us could hardly have been better．I'm proud that my family reminded clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome．
