　　If life seems more rushed than ever, you might be surprised to learn that we Americans don't have less leisure time than we did 40 years ago．We actually have more leisure time, and quite a bit more．What counts as leisure is up for argument, but under every definition the numbers have gone up．We get about 45 minutes a day of extra leisure．

　　Then why does it feel like we have so much less? It might be because we waste half of all our leisure time watching television．The average American adult devotes 2.5 hours a day to this hobby．And for every additional hour we get free, another 30 minutes goes into that boob tube(=TV)．So if you want more free time, I recommend one thing：turn it off．This is easier said than done, especially during the world series．

　　When I was growing up, my mom had one piece of advice for me, and she said it every single morning．'Get out of the house!' It's good advice．Come join the 6.8 million who are in a book club, or the 196,000 who attend pro beach volleyball, or the 680,000 who go to tractor pulls every month．There are even 3 million people who enjoy a sport called ‘muzzle loading,’ which involves shooting a gun that looks 200 years old．

　　And at the end of the day, there's a thing in your kitchen called a stove．Turn it on and invite people over．Only 38% of Americans entertain friends or family at home at least once a year．What were the other 62% of us doing? Getting a free meal, I suppose．We can do better, America．If we're going to watch so much television, can't we at least invite friends over to watch?

　　Car-free neighborhoods exist all over Europe．A quarter of households in Britain live without cars．Vauban in Germany is one of the largest car-free neighborhoods in Europe．If you live in the district, you are required to confirm once a year that you do not own a car-or, if you do own one, you must buy a space in a multi-storey car park on the edge of the district．

　　Vehicles in most of the European car-free areas are physically stopped from entering the streets where people live．Exceptions are made for emergency vehicles and removal vans but not for normal deliveries．A few parking spaces nearby are available to buy(usually around one space for every five homes)and a few are reserved for car club vehicles．Cycling is a vital means of transport．

　　Car-free areas of this kind exist in Amsterdam, Vienna, Hamburg and so on．There is even a small one in Edinburgh．

　　There is another form of car-free development．Recently we have overlooked its potential．Most pedestrianzed(步行)city or neighborhood centers in Britain are almost entirely commercial．But a few farsighted councils have brought back housing and residents, without cars or parking, into city centers that would otherwise be deserted after 6 pm．

　　Car-free UK was set up to improve European-style car-free development in this country．We are not anti-car, but pro-choice．We have recently run public meetings in London to set up a new car-free association for London, which is beginning to look at areas of the city from which traffic could be removed．We know considerable potential demand exists for traffic-free housing in London, and probably in a number of other major cities．

(1)

[　　]

A．

they come for special reasons

B．

they are proved to be up to standard

C．

they own a parking space nearby

D．

they are permitted by the residents

(2)

KATHMANDU, Nepal (CNN) - Nepal has given its security personnel permission to shoot pro-Tibet demonstrators during China's Olympic flame climb to Mount Everest's summit early next month.
"About 25 soldiers and policemen have established camps on the mountain and they have been ordered to use force if necessary to stop any anti-Chinese activities," Mod Raj Dotel, spokesman for the home ministry, said Sunday. "This could mean shooting if necessary."
Security personnel will also check mountain climbers for non-essential expedition materials, Dotel added.
"If anyone is found with anti-Chinese material their permit will be canceled and returned from the mountain," he said.
Chinese climbers plan to take the Olympic flame to the top of the world's highest peak, at 8,848 meters (29,028 feet) as part of the global relay leading up to the August 8 opening of the Summer Olympics in Beijing.
Spring is the most popular season for climbing Mount Everest, which straddles(跨越) the border between Nepal and Tibet, an autonomous region of China.
The Nepali government has given permits to dozens of climbers from 30 expeditions this season.
But between May 1 and May 10, climbers are barred from going above 6,400 meters until the torch run is completed. China plans to take the Olympic flame to the summit sometime then.
Bad weather conditions allow only about two opportunities in May for a push to the summit.
The Chinese have not allowed any expedition to climb the mountain from the north side, according the Kathmandu representative of the Tibet China Mountaineering Association.
Almost every day in the past month, Nepalese police have arrested pro-Tibet protesters from in front of the Chinese Embassy and the United Nations offices. The demonstrators are released later in the evening. 
Supporters of Tibet punish the government's attitude toward the autonomous region, and many believe China should not have been awarded the honor of hosting the Olympic Games.
Earlier torch relay stops in London, England; Paris, France; and San Francisco, California attracted tens of thousands of demonstrators. They led to attacks on the torch and relay participants, and prompted police to make dozens of arrests.
Subsequent stops in Argentina, Tanzania and Oman were trouble-free.
In Pakistan, authorities closed the relay to the public. And India shortened the relay and kept thousands of anti-Chinese protesters at bay by sealing off roads and shuttering buildings along the route.
The relay went smoothly in Bangkok, Thailand, on Saturday, amid heavy security and scattered protests along the route.
The flame arrived in Malaysia on Sunday. About 1,000 police officers will be on hand to watch for protesters during a relay in the capital city Kuala Lampur Monday.
61．When will China's Olympic flame probably reach Mount Everest's summit?
A．April 28        B．May 12        C．June 10        D．May 7
62．The underlined word “barred” means_____________.
A．permitted     B．stopped       C．encouraged    D．introduced 
63．How many times Climbers can reach the top of the mountain at most in May?
A．once               B．twice   
C．three times            D．as many times as they can
64．Where did the torch relay meet no trouble?
A．India          B．Nepal     C．Tanzania          D．France
65．What is the attitude of the Nepali government towards towards China's Olympic flame climb to Mount Everest's summit?
A．negative          B．positive         C．ambiguous            D．Indifferent

Getting kids to share their toys is a never-ending battle, and forcing them to do so never seems to help. New research suggests that allowing children to make a choice to sacrifice their own toys in order to share with someone else makes them share more in the future. The new findings are published in Psychological Science.

These experiments were conducted by psychological scientists, Nadia Chernyak and Tamar Kushnir of Cornell University. They found that sharing things with others when they are given a difficult choice leads children to think of themselves as people who like to share. It also makes them more likely to act in a pro-social （亲社会的）manner in the future.

Previous research has explained why rewarding children for sharing can backfire. Children come to think of themselves as people who don't like to share since they had to be rewarded for doing so. Because they don't view themselves as "sharers", they are less likely to share in the future.

Chernyak and Kushnir were interested in finding out whether freely chosen sacrifice might have the opposite effect on kids' willingness to share. To test this, the researchers introduced five-year-old children to Doggie, a sad puppet. Some of the children were given a difficult choice: Share a precious sticker（贴纸） with Doggie, or keep it for themselves. Other children were given an easy choice between sharing and putting the sticker away, while children in a third group were required by the researcher to share.

Later on, all the children were introduced to Ellie, another sad puppet. They were given the option of how many stickers to share (up to three). The kids who earlier made the difficult choice to help Doggie shared more stickers with Ellie. The children who were initially faced with an easy choice or who were required to give their sticker to Doggie, on the other hand, shared fewer stickers with Ellie. Therefore, children did not benefit from simply giving something up, but rather from willingly choosing to give something up of value.

“You might imagine that making difficult, costly choices is demanding for young children or even that once children share, they don’t feel the need to do so again,” Chernyak says. “But this wasn't the case: once children made a difficult decision to give up something for someone else, they were more generous, not less, later on.” Chernyak concludes.

1._______ helps children to share more in the future.

A. Rewarding children for sharing                      

B. Forcing children to share

C. Allowing children to share precious things willingly

D. Allowing children to share what they don’t need

2.The underlined word “backfire” means _______.

A. have an opposite effect                                              B. serve as a push

C. cause anger                                                                   D. avoid taking things back

3.Those who were required to share give fewer stickers to Ellie because _______.

A. they regret what they did                                           B. it’s not their own choice        

C. Ellie is not as sad as Doggie                                D. they like to share with a real person

4.We can conclude from the passage that _______.

A. parents will never find a way to get children to share toys

B. a gift should be given to make up for children’s sacrifice

C. children pretend to be generous when they are being observed

D. making difficult choices may influence sharing behavior

 

Up to 90％ of school leavers in major Asian cities are suffering from short-sightedness, a study suggests.Researchers say the “extraordinary rise’’ in the problem is being caused by students working very hard in school and missing out on outdoor light．

    According to Professor Ian Morgan, who led this study and is from the Australian National University. 20-30％was once the average among people in South East Asia as well．“What we’ve done is write a review of all the evidence which suggests that something extraordinary has happened in east Asia in the last two generations，”he told BBC News．

    Eye experts say that you are short-sighted if your vision is blurred（使模糊不清） beyond 2m．It is often caused by an elongation（伸长）of the eyeball that happens when people are young．According to the research，the problem is being caused by a combination of factors——a commitment to education and lack of outdoor light．

    Professor Morgan argues that many children in South East Asia spend long hours studying at school and doing their homework．This in itself puts pressure on the eyes, but exposure to between two and three hours of daylight acts as a counterbalance（抗衡)and helps maintain healthy eyes．

Cultural factors also seem to play a part．Across many parts of South East Asia，children often have a lunchtime nap.According to Professor Morgan ，they are missing out on prime light to prevent short-sightedness．

“Children suffer from a double whammy（致命的打击）in South East Asia，”says Professor Morgan. As a result of massive educational pressures and the construction of a child’s day，the amount of time they spend outside in bright light is limited．”

A big concern is the numbers of students suffering from“high”short-sightedness．According to Professor Morgan，this affects between 1 0％and 20％of students in Asian cities．It can lead to vision loss，visual impairment and even blindness．

“These people are at considerable risk---sometimes people are not told about it and are just given more powerful glasses---they need to be warned about the risk and given some self-testing  measures so they can get to an ophthalmologist（眼科医生） and get some help．”

For decades, researchers believed there was a strong genetic component to the condition. It was believed that people from China，Japan，South Korea and other countries were particularly likely to develop short-sightedness．But this study strongly suggests an alternative view．

72. From the text, we can know that_______.

A .this study suggests that gene(基因)is closely linked with short-sightedness.

B. short-sightedness can lead to blindness.

C. those who suffer from “high” short-sightedness can recover their eyesight if they are given more powerful glasses.

D. China has the largest number of short-sighted people in the world.

73. What is implied in the text?

A . Pro. Morgan approves of what most short-sighted people do with their short-sightedness.

B. If you are short-sighted, you can’t see things clearly beyond 2m.

C. According to Professor Morgan, staying in the sunshine instead of taking a lunchtime nap is good for preventing short-sightedness

D. The reasons for Asian children’s short-sightedness are commitment to education and lack of outdoor light.

74. What’s the author’s attitude towards the study result?

A. Objective      B. Subjective     C. Negative      D. Positive

75. What would be the best title for the text?

A. The research result of Asian children’s short-sightedness.

B. The phenomenon of Asian children’s short-sightedness.

C. The reasons for Asian children’s short-sightedness.

D. The ways to get rid of short-sightedness.
