【1】Parents do a lot of things to ensure that their kids grow up to be healthy and balanced individuals(个体，个人). As we grow into adulthood, we begin to realize what our parents did and how we can give back. If you are living with them in the same house, you must understand how to adjust to(适应) them.

【2】In some cultures, the kids live with their elderly parents and they are used to having their grandparents around. In other cultures the kids leave their parents’ houses when they can earn for themselves. Now they aren’t used to having their parents around all the time. Anyway, it’s our duty to give them all the love and care they gave us when we were young.

【3】Maybe you plan to send them to a nursing home just because they’re old, but it is not a solution. The old people should be given all due respect, importance and time, though they can’t do simple things for themselves any more. We must learn to be there for them. They have listened to all our demands when we were young and they have provided for us all our life before we started earning for ourselves. We must ____________. Give them all due respect and importance. Give them our time.

【4】Generally the kids are treating their grandparents roughly, but the grandparents love them. They have more time for them. Thus the kids feel more comfortable with their grandparents. This is very healthy. The family ties become stronger in that way.

【5】The parents may sometimes act unreasonably and they may not be reasonable and understanding. It’s our duty to be patient and bear(容忍) all things. This is the right we should give to our parents, as long as it is within our ability.

    Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country's economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country, keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants.

Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country's economy can suffer.

On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals(航空集散站), first-class roads, and other support facilities(配套设施)needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.

Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.

71. Which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this selection?

A. It is extremely important to develop tourism.

B. Planning is of great importance to tourism.

C. Building roads and hotels is essential.                 D. Support facilities are highly necessary.

72. The underlined word "inhabitants" (in Paragraph 1 ) probably means________.

A. tourists.      B. passengers.      C. citizens(市民).     D. population.     

73. Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT________.

A. a bad effect on other industries.        B. over-crowdedness of places of interest.

C. pressure on traffic.                     D. a change of tourists’ customs.

74. It can he inferred from the text that_________.

A. the author doesn't like tourism developing so fast.

B. local people will benefit from tourist attraction.

C. other parts of a country’s economy won’t benefit from tourism much.

  D. we can't build too many support facilities.

Rice is an important part of many people's diets. Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health in Massachusetts have released a report about rice. It shows that eating white rice increases the risk of diabetes(糖尿病). However, eating brown rice reduces the risk of the disease.

    The World Health Organization says more than two hundred twenty million people worldwide have diabetes. Diabetes results when the body cannot effectively use the sugar it produces.

The men and women who took part in the study were asked about their diet and day-to-day activities, as well as any pre-existing diseases. The study found that the people who ate five or more servings of white rice per week had a seventeen percent increased risk of developing diabetes. But those who ate two or more servings of brown rice a week had an eleven percent reduced risk of getting the disease.

Brown rice is the grain in its natural form. White rice results after it has been refined. This involves removing the outer cover, including the husk, bran (糠) and germ. Only the inner white kernel(谷粒) is left. White rice is often enriched to replace some nutrients lost during the refining process.

Qi Sun is the leading writer of the report. He says the outer parts of brown rice slow down the work of the body's digestive enzymes (酶) into starch (淀粉). This means that the release of sugar into the bloodstream is slower after eating brown rice compared to white rice.

A diet of foods that quickly release sugar into the bloodstream has been linked with a greater risk of diabetes. The exact reason for this is not known.

Doctor Sun says less refined grains have more nutritional value than refined grains. He says replacing white rice with whole grains like whole wheat or barley could result in a thirty-six percent lower chance of developing diabetes. However, brown rice does not last as long as white rice because of the oil-rich layer of bran. This makes it less usable in poor communities.

61. This text is organized in the pattern of___________.

A. time and events.            B. comparison and contrast.

C. cause and effect.            D. definition(定义) and classification(分类).  

62. The author uses figures in Paragraph 3 to show__________.

A. the amount of brown rice people ate.        B. the rapid growth of the risk of diabetes.  

C. brown rice can reduce the risk of disease.   D. the amount of white rice people ate.

63. Paragraph 4 is mainly to tell us___________.

A. what brown rice is like.             B. what is lost during the refining process.

C. it's complex to refine white rice.      D. the difference between brown rice and white rice.  

64. According to the text, what does the author suggest we should do?

A. Replace white rice with brown rice.   B. Eat two or more servings of brown rice a week.   

C. Do research to find the exact reason.  D. Eat white rice in poor areas for diabetes.

65. What is the main idea of the text?

A. Eating brown rice doesn't develop diabetes.

B. How diabetes results when people eat white rice.

C. Refining white rice is not good for people's health.  

D. Eating white rice increases the risk of diabetes.  

I met the old man at a cafe. “Did you hear the radio news yesterday?” he asked me. “No,” I replied. “Anything exciting?” “Exciting? NO! Something very sad. A group of hungry dogs killed and ate my best friend.”

“Oh, dear!” I cried. “How did it happen?” “He was working on the hillside when the dogs attacked him. When he didn't return, I went to the hillside and found…” “His body?” I asked. The old fellow drank half of his coffee. “No. I told you they were hungry dogs, didn't I? The big bones were lying everywhere.

He put his own thumb through the hole. The blood is red ink, I believe. Is the story worth a cup of coffee, sir?” “But he held the box in his right hand.” “Yes, but listeners look into the box. They just can't take their sight off that terrible thing.” “And when he tells the story, he gets free cup of coffee!” I said, laughing. “Yes, sir, but only from strangers who come to this town, and, of course, he does us no harm!”
