5、One of my longest-running battles with my kids is about manners specifically，about whether it's necessary to send hand-written thank-you notes for gifts．I say yes，and my children have continued throughout their teens to write the notes．But they grumble that I'm out of step with the times．

If a new BabyCenter poll is any guide, I'm not alone．A surprisingly large number of parents still insist that their children practice such old-fashioned manners as putting pen-to-paper to say thank you，treating adults with respect and addressing adults as “Mr．, Mrs．or Miss．”A majority of the 1,000 parents surveyed also said they insist at dinner that children keep napkins in their laps，ask to be excused from the table and refrain from talking with a full mouth．

Among the reasons cited most often by parents，BabyCenter says，is that “the world is a more free-wheeling place，and they want to give their kids a stronger moral compass to guide them．”This thinking was affirmed by 64％of those surveyed．And 58％say they see so many badly behaved kids around them that they're determined to raise their children differently．

This poses a particular challenge for parents who work outside the home and must find a sitter, nanny or other child-care provider who will insist on the manners they consider most important．

Pediatrician(儿科医生)Perri Klass wrote recently in the New York Times about her annoyance at a rude，demanding child who was among her longtime patients．Although she veiled her injunctions to the mother in euphemisms(委婉语)，talking to her about “setting limits，”Dr．Klass wrote，“I do pass judgment on kids with bad manners and so does every pediatrician I know．”Rude kids make her wonder whether there is something wrong with the family，among other things，she says．“The whole ‘manners’ concept might seem a bit odd，”she says，“until you recast(重新界定)it as ‘social skills’ a hot-button child-development issue，as I wrote in a recent column．”

Readers，what manners do you insist upon for your children? Has other kids' bad behavior led you to toughen your standards? Do the strict rules embraced by parents in the BabyCenter survey seem right，or too formal?

51．What does the underlined sentence in the second paragraph refer to?

A．None of the parents like the author stuck to traditional manners．

B．Most of the children are in favor of out-of-date manners．

C．A majority of the parents like the author fall behind the times．

D．A large quantity of parents prefer to pass the good manners to their children．

52．Which of the following reasons can account for parents' attitudes towards children's behavior formation?

A．Children need to develop the virtue which will show them the right way．

B．Only well-behaved children will have a bright future．

C．Children without good manners cannot deal with the challenges in the world．

D．The badly-behaved children will do harm to the society．

53．       are the right persons to attend to the children while the parents work outside．

A．Those who do good cooking    B．Those who ignore the good manners

C．Those who focus on virtue      D．Those who have a sense of humor

54．According to Perri Klass，it can be inferred that          ．

A．it is hard to help the rude children to get rid of the bad manners

B．parents ought to set up a good example for their children in good manners

C．it is the society that should take on the responsibility to educate children

4、LV Tiantian, a graduate student majoring in ethics at Jiangsu University in Zhenjiang，has spent years reading Aristotle and Plato．She has debated with classmates about the meaning of “happiness” and in written papers about the role of morality in society．But as LV prepares to enter the professional world，she's finding that her background isn't getting her a lot of job interviews．“Employers do not seem to value the theories and philosophy that we liberal arts majors have learned，”said LV，24．“I earned far fewer interview chances than those majoring in more practical subjects in science and technology．”

According to a 2009 survey conducted by Zhongqing Shijia Survey Net and China Enterprise News，science graduates enjoy higher employment rates and salaries than liberal arts students do．Things aren't much different overseas．The New York Times reports that job listings for professors in English，literature and foreign languages dropped 21 percent for the 2008-2009 academic year-the biggest decline in 34 years．As a result，some American educators are calling for universities to abandon the “old Ivory Tower view of liberal education”．They want to put more emphasis on the practical and economic aspects of education．

Chinese educational experts tend to agree up to a point．But abandoning emphasis on the humanities altogether，they say，brings great risk．“The liberal arts do not generate any tangible(实体的)material wealth，but it does convey social values．And it passes spiritual heritage from one generation to another，”said Niu Dakui，an expert on education at Beijing Normal University．“If the humanities are discarded，our youngsters will lose their way．”

Anthony T．Kronman，a professor of law at Yale，goes even further．He argues that the greed，irresponsibility and fraud that put the world in the current financial mess will only get worse without a new emphasis on the humanities．In his view，this is the time to re-examine “what we care about and what we value”―something that the humanities” are extremely well-equipped to address”．

How this debate plays out may very well determine the future of Chinese high school education．Some people want high school students to be able to specialize in science during their high school years．Others think they should get a more rounded education with a substantial number of hours in the arts and humanities．

46．The example of LV Tiantian listed in first paragraph tells us that         ．

A．the current job market has been hard on students from the humanities

B．fewer employers want graduates with backgrounds in science and technology

C．more employers want graduates good at languages，literature and history

D．graduates find it hard to get job interviews，let alone a good job

47．According to the passage，that science graduates have a brighter future in their career than those majoring in humanities is         ．

A．a nationwide problem     B．a worldwide phenomenon

C．an individual issue          D．a regional matter

48．What does the underlined word “discarded” mean in the third paragraph?

A．adopted        B．abandoned    C．strengthened   D．exchanged

49．Anthony T．Kronman points out that the root of the recent economical crisis is         ．

A．the poor economic reforms led by the government

B．the poor knowledge in finance taught by the university

C．the weakness in personality caused by lack of literature

D．the well-equipped schooling provided by the college

50．What is the best title for this passage?

A．The Meaning of “Happiness”

B．The Debate on Liberal Arts and Science

C．Job Chances and Major Subjects

D．Social Values and the Financial Mess

3、A friend asks me “Why don't Chinese go Dutch?” So I want to regard this question as the topic and write an article．As everyone knows，westerners will go Dutch while having a meal in the restaurant．But Chinese don't go Dutch．Chinese will pay the bill and check out generously．Westerners don't often entertain guests；but Chinese often invite friends to dinner．A lot of westerners feel puzzled to this question．

Why does there exist such a difference? First of all，food systems between China and West are different．Chinese put into practice Gather Dining System；westerners put into practice Individual Dining System．Everybody can share the delicious food of all over the table when eating Chinese food．Please note it is sharing，but westerners just eat the food in one's own plate．If you eat beef and he eats chicken，it is impossible that you taste the flavor of his chicken．The  result of the Individual Dining System is that you can only eat the food in your plate．

So to eat Chinese food is happier than to eat Western-style food．And I want to ask you a question．Do you like the free thing? I think nobody doesn't like the free thing．Ok! Suppose I invite you to eat the delicious Chinese food，then I pay the bill．This is equivalent to that you have enjoyed a delicious Chinese food free．So you will be very glad．It will strengthen the relation between us in the happy atmosphere．

Secondly，westerners eat for the health；Chinese eat for the friendship．Westerners advocate individualism and independence is strong．So westerners express that respect for each other's independence through the way go Dutch．Chinese like making friends and solidarity．Chinese value the interpersonal relationships and the friendship very much．

Third，it is only simple “Have a meal!” for westerners to entertain guests．Unlike the purpose and the means that Chinese entertain guests，in Americans' idea，“Have a meal” definition is to add fuel to the body for keeping health and normal life activity．That is to say，there is not any additional value．In the Chinese idea，“Have a meal” not only is a kind of life enjoyment，but also is the means to promote friendship between the friends．After enjoying the sumptuous delicious food，you are glad，and I am glad too．The friendship between the friends has been strengthened in this kind of atmosphere．

41．What does “go Dutch” mean?

A．They will pay for the meal separately．    B．Either part will pay for the meal．

C．They will go to Dutch for a meal．          D．They can enjoy a meal free of charge．

42．The differences between Western and Chinese Dinning System lie in the following aspects EXCEPT          ．

A．individual and gathering

B．the purpose for health and for the friendship

43．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Westerners will share the food in their plates with each other．

B．Chinese would like the free meal so they never pay the bill．

C．Westerners don't value the friendship so they never pay the meal for others．
