The three youths leaned over the metal rails along the sea-wall and watched a few fishermen pull in their nets. About thirty metres away, a boat pulled alongside the slippery steps leading 36_____ to the sea.

“Hey, look!” exclaimed Rahim. “Those two men are 37_____ heavy rocks. I thought we no longer do muscle labour in this technological 38_____. ”

“You don’t 39_____ a crane (起重机) to unload less than a dozen rocks, do you?” smiled Joshua.

“But those men don’t 40_____ to have muscles at all,” said Michael, rather surprised. Joshua smiled.

“They are 41_____ laborers who know how to spread the weight of the rocks they 42_____. See how the man positions the rock just at the slope of his  43  . Some of the rock’s weight is set 44_____ his head, some on the right hand and some on the left hand. His body isn’t bent. His legs are well 45_____ .”

“You’re right, Josh. He may have a small build. 46_____ he certainly well knows his job. Dear me! And to think we have been studying 47_____! ” Rahim thought about all that was happening. Suddenly, he said, “Technology won’t 48_____ the human being completely, it appears.”

“I don’t think it will. ” 49_____ Joshua. “You can harvest a crop of potatoes or wheat with one of those large, multi-purpose tractors, but you 50_____ use that equipment to harvest tea leaves and tomatoes, will you?”

“You can get a computer to 51_____ multiple-choice assessments, but you cannot get the computer to produce of assess essays, can you?” asked Michael.

“Well, the washing machine leaves my shirt collar quite as 52_____ as ever --- that’s domestic technology for you! ” said Rahim.

“One day, perhaps, there won’t be anybody 53______ who can carry a large rock the way those men do. It’s not going to be a very 54______ world, I’m afraid.” Sighed Michael.

    One of the most unknown youth culture in the United States is that of high school and college runners．Not everyone who has ever been on their school’s track team is part of this culture．To be a part of this culture you need to do a lot Of running，knowing how it feels to race to exhaustion(筋疲力尽)，see no reason why any weather should keep you from running，and be a little crazy．

    I，myseIf，am part of this culture．I ran cross-country，which is running outside over uneven ground，for my high schoo1．I joined this culture when 1 was in ninth grade. As soon  as 1 was on the team it didn’t take very long for me to become very involved and have fun running. As a freshman 1 wasn’t that fast but 1 was giving the effort．It was the effort that makes me part of the running culture．

    There are a few things that set the youth culture of runners apart from the overall  running culture．One of the many differences is that teen runners usually run in large groups，with a lot of conversation and fooling around．Young runners play games and talk to their friends when they run．While adults may run with a friend and have a conversation，you will rarely see twenty of them running through the woods yelling back and forth at each other．Young runners also make up a lot of games．My friends and 1 would throw balls while running and invented a game we called Shockey，which was pretty much soccer on lce.

Most of youth runners run for competition and not for fitness．Young runners want to run in races not to just lose weight like many adults．This means they run a lot faster and tougher generally．To lose weight you can just jog easily but to race you have to really push yourself and run to exhaustion．It’s a completely different style of running and that is what builds this culture .

1．The passage is mainly about __________.

  A．the differerices between youth culture and adult culture

London - Police are monitoring social networking sites popular with teenagers such as Bebo, Facebook and MySpace after claims that they are being used to organize mass brawls (对骂).

Kent Police believe that teenagers have been using the Internet to arrange “fight club” contests watched by up to 100 spectators in a public park.

At least six organized fights have taken place in Brenchley Gardens in Maidstone, Kent, according to one teenage blogger. (4) During one of the fights a 14-year-old boy was arrested for carrying a hunting knife. Kent Police have now ordered specialist officers to monitor sites such as Bebo.

Chief Inspector Ian Hall said: “(5) We are aware of attempts to organize fights using technology such as websites and mobile phones. Pupils from some schools in the  area  may  be  involved  in  this  type of anti-social behavior and we are working with schools to eradicate (根除) the problem.”

According to one blogger the fights usually take place on Saturday nights. The contests are named after the Hollywood film Fight Club starring Edward Norton and Brad Pitt. The central characters fight for the adrenaline rush but the film has an ironic twist (歪曲) apparently lost on some of its audience.

This week police in Macclesfield, Cheshire, arrested six teenagers on suspicion of public order offences after an investigation into a series  of assaults (袭击). The  youths, aged  16  and  17, were released on police bail (保释). The  officers  discovered that attacks had been discussed and possibly even prearranged using the Bebo websites.

In Collumpton, Devon, last  weekend  police  intercepted (阻止) 30  pupils  going  to  a mass brawl carrying metal bars, pieces of wood and chain.

Questions 1—3： Answer the following questions briefly.

1.What is the main idea of the passage?

2.What does the underlined word “monitoring” mean?

3.Please find a sentence in the passage which can replace the following one.

It is likely that the teenagers had used the Bebo websites to discuss and even plan the attack.

China Daily Oct. 11----The ministry of Health has called for more awareness from the public on the mental health of the young, as part of efforts to make World Mental Health Day which fell on Friday.

   More than 15 percent of Chinese youths have been found with mental problems, and about 30 million young people under 17 are suffering from depression, the Shang-based Wenhui Daily reported. The World Health Organization estimates that before 2020, the rate of children with mental problems will increase to 50 percent, and mental problems will become a major factor behind deaths and illness in the young worldwide.

   Deng  Xiaohong, the spokesperson for the Beijing Municipal Health Bureau, said rapid changes are one of the reasons behind the rising number of youngsters with psychological problems. If these mental diseases are not addressed on time, occurrence of crimes, drug-taking and other dangerous behavior are expected to rise. Experts said mental diseases could be caused by many factors, such as the inability to handle interpersonal relations well, unstable emotions and pressures from an overload of studies. A number of experts have also said the one-child policy is another reason leading to poor mental health in the young. Children are said to be too “ spoiled” and “selfish” in a one-child family.

It’s reported  schools in many cities are rolling out measures to help students maintain their mental well-being. Yin Jingmiao, a teacher of the Beijing No.105 Middle School, told China Daily that the school invites psychologists to provide counseling to students three times a month.”  Students can be arranged to have 40-minute counseling sessions,” Yin said. The school also gives lectures on mental health to senior grade students before they take the national college entrance exams to help ease any anxiety arising from the tests.

1.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

   A. Efforts to Mark World Mental Health Day

   B. Seriousness of Youngsters’ Mental Health Problems

   C. How to Maintain Mental Well-being

   D. Public Awareness on Youngsters’ Mental Disease Expected

2.The writer intends to tell us in the second paragraph that________

   A. mental health problems of the young are becoming a popular problem.

   B. only young people are suffering from mental health problems.

   C. mental problems will become as serious as deaths and illness.

   D. the rate of children with mental problems will increase to 50 percent.

3.Which could be the consequence if the problem is left untreated?

   A. Inability to handle interpersonal relations. B. Unstable emotions

   C. Drug-taking and other dangerous behavior D. Rapid social changes

4.Why is the Beijing No.105 Middle School mentioned in the passage?

  A. To provide the students with counseling sessions.

  B. To give an example showing how mental problems are dealt with.

  C. To help ease the anxiety arising from the national college entrance exams

  D. To call on other schools to learn from the No.105 Middle School
