  The villagers of Yaluma in Southern Mexico are some of the poorest people in the country. But now they have an extra source of income.They are being paid to grow and develop forests by the organization in charge of Formula One racing (一级方程式赛车),which pumps 5,500 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the air every year.The idea is that the forests being planted around Yaluma will absorb this amount. It will also provide people there with money while wiping out motor racing's environmental debt.

  Projects like this go under the name of "carbon trading". The basic idea is that governments and companies can buy the right to pump CO2 into the air by investing in green projrvyd. They can buy so-called "carbon credits" from countries which have succeeded in reducing CO2 emissions(排放物).

  Supporters of carbon trading say that it brings money and green technology to poorer countries.It also provides a new way of doing busingess and spreading prosperity. They point out that the process of globalization will give people everywhere the most possible choice of products and services. Carbon trading is just another way of bringing that about. It is a "win - win" situation.

  Opponents argue that nature comes before lifestyle. CO2 emissions need to be reduced, not bought and sold. And they believe that the rich world should lead the way.People might be willing to change the way they live to help save the world, but not to help the rich countries keep a lifestyle that depends on pollution.

  Supporters of carbon trading believe in unlimited growth.Opponents believe that nature sets limits to the choices we make on how to live.It is "don't do " against "can do". It is life against lifestyle.

  It is believed that modern lives are about choice.For example,the world can choose to take the danger of global warming seriously.And the sooner we choose to do it, the more choices we have about what to do next and the more time we have to do it in. We can also choose to pay no attention to the danger of global warming to keep our lifestyles. Then one day nature may give us no choice at all,and maybe not much of a life,either.

  64.Carbon trading is discussed in the text in order to show the importance of ______ .

   A.reducing pollution B.taking care of forests

   C.spreading prosperity D.choosing lifestyle or nature

  65."Carbon credits" may be used to ______.

   A.get the right to pump CO2 into the air

   B.get the right to pump CO2 into poor countries

   C.learn about the way to reduce CO2 emissions

   D.improve the way to reduce CO2 emissions

  66.We can infer from the text that in the "win - win" situation _____.

   A.rich countries perform their duty to help poor countries

   B.poor countries get what they need from rich countries

   C.both rich countries and poor countries get what they need

   D.rich countries learn from poor countries in reducing pollution

  67.In the opinion of people who are against carbon trading,the rich countries should ____.

   A.guide poor countries in reducing CO2 emissions

Remind children that bad things don’t last. It may sound simple, but the message is extremely important. “Children often don’t have the experience to know that when something bad happens—they lose an important game or their best friends lets them down—it’s not the end of the world,” explains Nancy Leffert, a senior research scientist with the Research Institute, an American adolescents’(青少年) and children’s research group. “They think their bad feelings will last for ever, or that one failure will ruin everything.”
Unfortunately, that kind of thinking discourages motivation(动机).“If a child believes that the cause of her upset is lasting, or that nothing she does will make a difference, it decreases her ability to keep on trying,” says Dorothy Rich, president of the Mega Skills Education Center of the Home and School Institute, based in Washington. Any time you can help your child see that a situation is not lasting, that a result can be changed, or that one opinion does not reflect reality, you give her reason to hope.
Case in point: “When my daughter Kathy was eight,art was one of her favorite subjects,”says Beth,a mother of two. “Then she got an art teacher who gave a great deal of praise to one student and barely noticed the rest.Kathy was ready to give up until I explained to her,‘Never stop doing your best just because one person doesn’t give you praise.’” Beth had to repeat the advice often,and finally her daughter got the message.“Kathy is twelve now, and art is still one of her strongest subjects.”
62. According to the passage we know many children_____.
A. know how to face a failure
B. try their best to avoid a situation of failure
C. don’t want to stay in bad feelings for ever
D. tend to take a failure as the end of the world
63. Which of the following can a parent say to his children to show that one’s opinion does not reflect reality?
A. “If you call your friend and apologize,he won’t stay mad at you.”
B. “That may be what your teacher thinks, but I see it differently.”
C. “You have lost today, but you can try again tomorrow.”
D. “Go ahead. Don’t care what other people think.”
64. It can be inferred from the passage that_____.
A. teachers’ praise is very important to students
B. good teachers can give students useful advice
C. teachers should not praise their students in class
D. good teachers can find each student’s favorite subject

C  
TWENTY-FIVE years ago director Stephen Spielberg captured the hearts of Western audiences with his family classic.E.T.Now his Hong Kong director Stephen Chow is trying to do the same trick in China.
Chow's latest movie CJ7(《长江七号》),in cinemas now,is a heart-warming story about a poor migrant worker(外来务工者) and his son.When a strange alien enters their lives,father and son learn a lesson about the value of family.Chow hopes his movie will help to make family films more popular in China.
Family films have been the main part of the Hollywood market for the last 40 years.They have given audiences movies like E.T., Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park.However, there are few of these movies in China, where expensive history films are more popular.
A family film is not simply a children's movie.It is a film that is not only suitable for children, but appeals to the whole family.
According to Raymound Zhou,a famous film critic,these films are rare in China because“very few families go to the cinema together”.Because of this,there is little demand for movies that appeal to the whole family.    
However, in the West,it is common for the family to sit down and watch a movie together.Tim Bridges, from London,says:“I love it at Christmas when I sit down and watch a movie with my family.”     
All family films contain similar messages about being honest、remaining positive and learning there is more to life than money.According to the American movie reviewer,Dave Johnson, this is because “When parents watch a movie,they want their children to be learning good values”.    
Just like when the alien in Spielberg's E.T.phones home to make contact with his family, Chow will hope Chinese audiences are tuned in and ready to receive his family movie message.
63.Which of the following can replace the underlined part in the last paragraph?
A.understand what others are thinking  B.make telephones
C.go to the cinema                     D.sing songs    
64.What is the family film,according to the passage?
A.A kind of film that is about history.
B.A kind of film in which the characters are animals.
C.A kind of film that is meant for both children and adults
D.A kind of film that is about families    
65.What is implied but not stated directly in the passage?
A.Families in China should go to the cinema at Christmas.
B.It's good for children to watch family films.    
C.Chinese families don't like family films.
D.The movie CJ7 has nothing in common with E.T.
66.It can be inferred that in the future,_______.
A.Chinese families will go to the cinema together    
B.there may be more family films in China  
C.making family films in China is not easy
