14．Have you ever wondered why birds sing？（36）B After all，you probably sing or whistle when you are happy．
Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy．
（37）FTheir singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory．Do you know what a"territory"is？A territory is an area that an animal，usually the male，claims（声称） as its won．Only he and his family are welcome there．No other families of the same species are welcome．Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome．If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you，you might shout．（38）EIf so，you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him．（39）ABut he expects an outsider almost all the time，especially at nesting（筑巢） season．So he is screaming all the time，whether he can see an outsider or not．This screaming is what we call a bird's song，and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away．
Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate（配偶） and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs．
（40）D Most of it has to do with attracting males and setting up territories．

A．A bird does the same thing．
B．Maybe you thought that they were just happy．
C．Shouting loudly is just like a bird's screaming．
D．You can see that birds have a language of their own．
E．Probably this would be enough to frighten him away．
F．However，they sing most of the time for a very different reason．
G．So，just like human beings，birds sing for almost the same reasons．

1．A generation of parents raised according to the permissive principles of postwar childcare experts is rediscovering the importance of saying"No"to their children．They are beginning to reclaim the house as their own．Even spanking（打屁股）is back．
While today's parents do not want to return to the Victorian era （时代）-when children were seen，spanked，but not heard-there is a growing acknowledgement that thelaissez-faireapproach produced a generation of children running rings around puzzled parents struggling to restore order．
Janthea Brigden，a trainer with Parent Network，says："The problem is that parents don't want all that controlling things．What they want is to be able to discipline （管教） their children through teaching and encouraging．"
According to Steve Biddulph，the author of More Secrets of Happy Children，the permissive era was often just an excuse to ignore children．He believes discipline involves firm but friendly teaching and does not need to involve punishment．He teaches a method called"stand and think"，where a child is helped to figure out what is wrong and how to get it right．Mr．Biddulph understands parents using spanking，but lie is against it．"The happiest children are those who know Mum and Dad are in charge．As children grow into their teens，more negotiation can take place，such as：Prove you can be home safely by 1l pm，and we might let you stay out till midnight．"
"There is no good evidence that an occasional，properly administered spanking is harmful in any way．"says John Rosemond，an American who has won a huge following by calling for"parent power"．It is pure nonsense to believe that restricting children to their room as a punishment could make them have negative feelings about the room and cause sleep problems．
Mr．Rosemond tracks the overturning of traditional family values to the end of the Second World War．He blames the change of the American family into a child-centered，self-respect-oriented （以…为导向） unit on psychologists and social workers，who for 30 years have weakened traditional approaches．Previous generations of American parents raised children not by the book，but by self-evident truth，he says．Children should be seen and hot heard．If you make your bed，you'll have to lie in it．He says that those phrases contain time-honored understanding and principles that helped children to develop what we refer to as the"three Rs"of parenting：respect，responsibility and resourcefulness．

67．Which is closest to the meaning of the underlined word"laissez-faire"in the second paragraph？A
A．Let it be． B．Go for it． C．Get it right． D．Take it easy．
68．If his child did something wrong，Steve Biddulph wouldD
A．give him a good beating
B．lock him up in a dark room
C．ask him to stand in a corner for hours
D．help him find out the problem and solution
69．By mentioning the underlined part in the last paragraph，Mr．RosemondD．
A．blames parents for ignoring children's rights
B．reminds parents to communicate more with children
C．encourages parents to involve children more in family affairs
D．explains how previous generations of parents raised children
70．What does the passage mainly talk aboutC．
A．The causes of discipline problems．
B．The best way to discipline children．
C．Different opinions on ways of parenting．
D．Differences between parents of different times．

8．My grandfather passed away last November．I have never had to feel what it is like to lose a family member（56）inmy 20s．
He was fighting with the（57）illness（ill） for years in hospital so many times but always come back．I think it is fairly enough（58）to say（say） he was stubborn．Although his speech had slowed，even after（59）anumber of strokes （中风） he had had，his mind was as（60）quick（quickly） as ever．
When he was（61）seriously（serious） ill last October，the doctors were pretty certain he would be（62）gone（go） within days．I left my company，jumped on a train and visited him．
When I（63）saw（see） him he could hardly speak，his eyes could hardly open and all his body could do was sleep．
I had to go back to work the next day so I told him that．He opened his eyes，（64）whichsuggested a goodbye．He surprised the doctors by（65）hanging（hang） on another tow weeks，and told everyone he was a winner．

5．Last year my summer holiday was spoiled by my bringing along a modern convenience that was too convenient for my own good：the iPad．Instead of looking at nature，I checked my e-mail．Instead of paddling a small boat，I followed my Twitter feed（推特简讯）．Instead of reading great novels，I stuck to reading four newspapers each morning．I was behaving as if I were still in the office．My body was on vacation，but my head wasn't．
    So this year I made up my mind to try something different：withdrawal from the Internet．I knew it wouldn't be easy，since I'm bad at self-control．But I was determined．I started by giving the iPad to my wife．
    The cellphone signal at our house was worse than in the past，making my attempts at cheating an experience in frustration．I was trapped，forced to go through with my plan．Largely breaking away from e-mail，Twitter and my favorite newspaper websites，I had few ways to connect to the world except for the radio-and how much radio can one listen to，really？I had to do what I had planned to do all along：read books．
    This experience has had a happy ending．With determination and the strong support of my wife，I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet，realizing finally that it was I，not the iPad，that was the problem．I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi．"I don't need it，"I said．
    However，as we return to post-vacation life，a harder test begins：Can I continue when I'm back at work？
    There are times when the need to know what's being said right now is great．I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely．But I hope to resist the temptation to check my e-mail every five minutes，which leads to checking my Twitter feed and a website or two．
I think a vacation is supposed to help you rest your brain to become more productive．Here I hope this one worked．
