Authorities did not release（公布）the gunman’s name, but Peters said he had no record of police contact or an arrest record while attending Northern Illionois.

DeKalb county coroner（验尸官）Dennis J. Miller on Friday released the identities of the four victims who died in the county: Daniel Parmenter, 20, of Westchester; Catalina Garcia, 20, of Cicero; RyanneMace, 19, of Carpenters-ville; and Julianna Gehant, 32, of Meridan.

“Two other victims died after being transferred to hospitals in other counties,” Miller said. Witnesses said the gunman, dressed in black and wearing a stocking cap,  emerged from behind a screen on the stage of 200-seat Cole Hall and opened fire just as the class was about to end around 3 pm.

Officials said 162 students were registered for the class but it was unkown how many were there on Thursday.

Allyse Jerome, 19, a sophomore（大二学生）from Shunmburg, said the gunman burst through a stage door and pulled out a gun.

“Honestly, at first everyone thought it was a joke,” Jerome said. Everyone hit the floor, she said. Then she got up and ran, but tripped. She said she felt like “an open target.”

“He could’ve decided to get me,” Jerome said on Friday. “I thought for sure he was gonna get me.”

Lauren Carr said she was sitting in the third row when she saw the shooter walk through a door on the right-hand side of the stage, pointing a gun straight ahead.

“I personally Army-crawled halfway up the aisle（通道）,” said Carr, a 20-year-old sophomore. “I said I could get up and run or I could die here.”

 She said a student in front of her was bleeding, “but he just kept running.”

More than a hundred students cried and hugged as they gathered outside the Phi Kappa Alpha house early Friday morning to remember Dan Parmenter, who was one of those killed.

       Many do-it-yourself homeowners are interested in

trying out solar power to leam about the technology and

perhaps to provide energy for limited-use applications．

There are a variety of ways to find cheap solar panels

（板）, including buying used and building your own

with factory seconds．Both methods will save money

while forcing you to learn the ins-and-outs of a solar

power array （阵列）．  

       We've all seen solar-powered street signs or PV

panels being used for various purposes at remote locations．

When those units become cracked or chipped and are considered "unsafe", companies are forced to replace them, generally to avoid responsibility issues．Because it's difficult to get rid of PV panels, many companies, if approached, are willing to give them away or to sell them for modest prices．Depending on the degree of damage present, expect to see performance degradation （降级） in the range of 10% to 60%．A multimeter （万用表） can be used to test the panel before buying．If the panel's free, take it anyway．It could still be useful in a home solar project．

       A solar panel is really nothing but a box serving as a container for a large group of solar cells．Factory second solar cells are usually sold on eBay at a small part of their regular cost．The cells come in a variety of sizes．You will need to figure out how much power a single cell produces to determine how many will need to be wired together to form an array．

       A simple search of the Internet will show numerous sites detailing home solar panel projects．Do-it-yourself lovers are generally quite generous in supply photographs of their work and description of what went wrong and right with the project．

       Getting cheap solar panels with slight imperfections, either used or through sales of factory seconds, is a perfect solution for home-built renewable energy projects．The high number of solar lovers online provide a wealth of useful information．Only limited skills are required, plus an understanding of the basic wiring involved．All are well within the talents of almost any home handyman．Beyond the satisfaction of having completed the project, you'll come away with a functional solar panel that will be a source of power for use around the house or at remote locations．

       Solar energy systems are quickly becoming more popular with homeowners as prices continue to decline．

72．The author writes the passage to introduce ____．

       A．ways of finding cheap solar panels B．ways of saving energy

       C．a way of making a solar panel      D．a home-built energy system

73．What does the phrase "factory seconds" in the passage refer to?

       A．Second-hand factory products．  B．Cheap but perfect factory products

       C．Faulty factory solar cells．         D．The second best factory solar cells

74．From Paragraph 5, we can learn about home-built energy projects that ____．

       A．none of them are beyond home handymen

       B．a lot of useful information is available on the Internet

       C．a perfect solution is to get cheap and perfect solar panels

       D．understanding electrical wiring is not necessarily needed

75．What is the author's attitude towards the future of solar energy systems?

       A．Optimistic．   B．Pessimistic.      C．Indifferent．         D．Doubtful

— You look like a million dollars in that dress.

阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。

Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a necessary part of the learning process. But all too often 36       parents and teachers we do not allow our children to have the right. We convey either by words 37       by actions that failure is something to be ashamed 38     , and that nothing but top  39       (perform) meets with our approval.

 When I see a child under this kind of pressure, I think of Donnie. He was 40       shy, nervous perfectionist. His fear of failure 41      (keep) him from classroom games that other children played delightedly. He seldom answered questions for fear 42       he might be wrong. He seldom finished his work because he repeatedly checked with me to be sure he hadn’t made a mistake. I tried my best to build up 43       self-confidence. But nothing changed until midterm, 44       Mary Anne, a student teacher, was appointed to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie 45       (include), adored her. With her frequent encouragement, Donnie became confident.

Time out, extra chores and taking away privileges are more useful forms of disciplining (惩戒)naughty children than spanking or hitting, according to a study on Wednesday.

About 94 percent of parents use some form of physical punishment to teach their two-year-olds right from wrong, according to research studies. But psychologists say it could lead to later emotional and behavioral problems.

Even children who were only spanked some of the time are more likely to show signs of sadness or have less confidence.

      “The key is to be fair and do the same thing each time. Doing something like hitting a child that seems cruel at best doesn’t help and can put a child at risk for problems,” said Dr Paul Frick, of the University of New Orleans in Louisians.

      “It is better to use other punishments,” he added.

      The use of physical punishment to teach children has long been debated. In countries such as Austria, Finland, Germany and Sweden, it is illegal to use physical punishment at home or in schools.

Frick and his team, who studied the effects of physical punishment on 98 children, said they couldn’t find any positive effects. Some children learned more from the hitting than what the parent was trying to teach them.

      “The key is to have a lot of different forms of punishment depending on the age of the child,” said Frick, who reported his findings in the Journal of Applied Child Psychology.

      He recommended time out for younger children and taking away television and electronic toys for older children. Giving extra chores can also get the message across.

      Other measures are at least as effective as physical punishment and have less harmful potential consequences.

      The researchers kept children whom they thought were at risk of later conduct problems out of the test and an equal number of other children who acted as a control group, to study what measures would be most helpful.

      They questioned the parents and the children about positive and negative parenting behavior including the use of physical punishment.

      “We got it from both viewpoints,” said Frick.

      He added that children on the receiving end of a hit can learn that when they are upset and angry they hit, rather than understanding their behavior was wrong and that they need to do better.

67. What’s the purpose of the writer to write this article?

A.To debate if physical punishment is illegal.

B.To introduce how to deal with young kids.

C.To talk about how to discipline young kids.

D.To order parents not to spank young kids.

68. Which of the following punishments is NOT recommended by Frick and his team?

      A. Taking away toys                                 B. Not allowing watching TV

      C. Doing more housework.                D. Switching TV channels 

69. What should be kept in mind when disciplining a kid?

A. How he or she usually behaves.

B. Tell them why they are punished.

C. Use different forms of punishment each time.

D. Be fair and stick to the same principle.

70. According to the passage, why did Dr Frick advise against physical punishment?

A. Because the children may hit people as a solution to problems.

B. Because the children will learn their behavior is wrong in time.

C. Because it is illegal to use physical punishment in certain countries.

D. Because parents think it’s the easiest way to teach kids right from wrong.
