阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　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on a child's concept of respect and how important it is．Many of these seemingly trivial(微小的)ideas have become almost outdated, but one should seriously consider the value of these ideas before casting them aside．It is easy to become unaware of these behaviors．Try to keep track of how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．

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

　　The twentieth century saw greater changes than any century before:changes for the better,changes for the worse;changes that brought a lot of benefits to human beings,changes that put man in danger．Many things caused the changes,but,in my opinion,the most important was the progress in science．

　　Scientific research in physics and biology has vastly broadened our views．It has given us a deeper knowledge of the structure of matter and of the universe;it has brought us a better understanding of the nature of life and of its continuous development．Technology in the application of science has made big advances that have benefited us in nearly every part of life．

　　The continuation of such activities in the twenty-first century will result in even greater advantages to human beings:in pure science-a wider and deeper knowledge in all fields of learning:in applied science-a more reasonable sharing of material benefits,and better protection of the environment．

　　Sadly,however,there is another side to the picture．The creativity of science has been employed in doing damage to mankind．The application of science and technology to the development and production of weapons of mass destruction has created a real danger to the continued existence of the human race on this planet．We have seen this happen in the case of nuclear weapons．Although their actual use has so far occurred only in the Second World War,the number of nuclear weapons that were produced and made ready for use was so large that if the weapons had actually been used,the result could have been the ruin of the human race,as well as of many kinds of animals．

　　William Shakespeare said,“The web of our life is of a minqled yarn（纱线）,good and ill together．”The above brief review of the application of only one part of human activities-science seems to prove what Shakespeare said．But does it have to be so?Must the ill always go together with the good?Arewe biologically programmed for war?
