     Ellen and Bill County are both teachers. They met in college and became good friends because of their
shared love for children. Two years after the couple got married, Ellen saw a huge change in the life of one
of her students, a 9-year-old girl. Three years earlier both of the little girl's parents had died and there was
no one to take care of her. She was taken away to live in a government office. But finally she was taken in
and adopted by a family and became their daughter. Ellen said that she noticed the difference in the child's
life after she was placed in a permanent home and thought that maybe she and her husband could help a
child in a similar way.
     They decided to become temporary parents and to take a child into their home just on the weekends
when the real parents could not take care of him or her. The pair planned to have their own children in a
few years, but decided that this would be a way to give to the community in the meantime.
     The couple quickly grew to love one of the children they looked after. When he became legally available,
Billy became the first child they took in permanently. Six months after adopting Billy, Ellen was told by her
doctor that she was unable to have children naturally. Ellen says she knew then that adoption was the way
she was meant to have a family.
     Since adopting Billy, now 17, Ellen and Bill have adopted five more children-Rose, 16; Albert, 11; Joshua,
5 and in June 2003, they added biological brother and sister Tyler and Rylee to the County family. The County
family has been recognized for their work on adoption, and has received many awards for their efforts. Last
June, the family was even interviewed on the television show,"Adoption Stories".
     Ellen says she would like to encourage other families to adopt children. She adds that the best part of being
a mother of six is: "Giving Josh a bath, putting a band-aid on a cut knee or just the everyday Mom things,
that makes motherhood such an honor and a privilege."
1. What is the passage mainly about?

C. The benefits of adoption to the community.
D. How adoption created a happy family.

The so-called post-90s generation has become even much “cooler” than the 1980s group, for they can speak “Martian language”, a difficult code-like language created by themselves. And they probably think it very original and smart.

The idea of this language is to prevent the authorities----parents and teachers from understanding what is said.

Ms. Li, mother of a 15-year-old girl, logged (登录) onto her daughter’s online space and found lines of codes, mixed English, Japanese and half-finished Chinese characters, which looked completely meaningless to her. Her daughter told her that it was “Martian language” and her peers all used it.

The new language is becoming very popular in online spaces--- so much that even some translating software has been created to translate the normal language into “Martian language”.

A 14-year-old netizen, nicknamed “S. Tangguo”, explained that the language could be created by anyone. “At first, I just copied the language from other people’s articles. Later, I began to create some words by myself. I split (拆分)some Chinese characters, or use words that have similar pronunciations to interchange with each other, or even add some English, Japanese or Korean words into my article, and that makes the new language. My classmates all chat in ‘Martian language’. It’s in style and can help us hide our secrets from our parents or teachers.”

Unlike the worried parents, some experts have found positive aspects in the spread of this unusual online language. Wang Haiyong, a psychologist, said that there’s no need to be too worried about the phenomenon. This so-called “Martian language” is just a little hobby of the post-90s generation. On the other hand, the new language can inspire children’s imaginations, which is a good thing. However, Wang also advised teachers and parents to give proper guidance to their children, helping them better distinguish between online language and the normative (规范性的)language of real life.

67. Which has the similar meaning to the underlined word “peers”?

A. authorities    B. children      C. experts     D. classmates

68.Why does the post-90s generation create “Martian language” according to the passage?

A. Because “Martian language” can make them smart.

B. Because they want to practice their foreign languages together.

C. Because they just want to have fun by playing with the characters and letters.

D. Because they can hide their secrets from the authorities.

69. Which of the following statements is NOT one of the ways creating “Martian language” according to the passage?

A. Mixing some completely meaningless codes together.

B. Separating some Chinese characters into parts.

C. Interchanging words that have similar pronunciations.

D. Adding some foreign words into the original language.

70. What is the correct attitude we should take towards “Martian language” according to the psychologist?

A. Parents should worry about losing control over their children.

B. All generations should learn to be cooler by using the new language.

C. We should help children understand the difference between the language online and the standard language.

D. The authorities themselves should try to use the new language.
