We want our kids to use the Internet, and yet we worry. But we can find ways to direct our children away from what’s wrong, towards what’s best.

       The most effective way to monitor a kid’s online activity is to monitor it. That is, to stand beside the computer from time to time when your child is at it.

       Carleton Kendrick suggests that accompanying your child to a website he often visits is no different from "checking out a playground where your kids go, to see that it’s safe."

       In any e-mail program, a look at the senders’ addresses can give you a good idea of your kids’ communicators .

       America Online allows parents to limit incoming e-mails to a finite list of communicators. Some parents also type their kids’ names into a search engine to discover what they’re saying on websites or message boards.

       Understand that as kids get older and demand more privacy, some basic know-how comes into play. America Online has been particularly effective in helping parents give their children an online experience: a "kids-only" AOL account prevents young users from all but full time-monitored chat rooms. Katherine Borsecnik , president at AOL, notes, however, that "if I have a child who’s doing a report on breast cancer, I might want to turn off the filters (过滤器)" since kids-only access would block websites with even straight medical information about breast.

       Many parents don’t know that a simple click on the "history" tab will produce a list of links to every website the computer         . Bonnie Fell opens all the files that have been downloaded by her two sons at least once a month―"whether the boys are there or not. Although they know it." As Jim Lynch, who manages message boards for the Boston-based Family Education. com, says, "Parents are the basic filter."

       This week, London will be full of celebrations to welcome the Year of the Rat. Every year, London’s Chinatown holds a great event to celebrate Chinese New Year, the largest event outside of Asia.

       This year in the UK, there seems to be a huge amount of interest in Chinese culture. For the third year running, the “China in London” season is being held. This extended event will run from February to April, ending in the Olympic torch relay, when the Olympic flame will pass through London on its way to the start of the Beijing Games.

       The “China in London” season will incorporate a huge number of events, ranging from art exhibitions to modern dance, film festivals to tea tastings, musical concerts to children’s half-term activities. In addition, another Chinese culture festival, “China Now” is launching at Chinese New Year.

       This is a nationwide season of events leading up to the Beijing Olympics. As well as cultural events, this programme includes an education programme for schools to develop relationships with China, and a Football Exchange, where the UK Football Association will be coaching children in China and offering a lucky few the chance to visit Britain on a football tour.

       The main Chinese New Year celebration will be held on Sunday 10th February, and is expected to attract around 300,000 visitors. It will showcase both traditional and contemporary Chinese arts, bringing together British-born and Chinese performers.

       The most important thing of the day is the grand parade(游行) through the streets of London, led by a traditional dragon dance, followed by musicians, acrobats, artists and children. There will be a large stage and screen in Trafalgar Square featuring(展现)martial arts, music and dance.

       It wouldn’t be Chinese New Year without fireworks and firecrackers, so Leicester Square will see displays on the hour all afternoon. Nearby theatres and arts centres will also be holding special New Year events, such as variety shows.

       Happy New Year to you, we hope you enjoy your celebrations as much as we will enjoy them in London.

       A proven method of effective textbook reading is the SQ3R method developed by Francis Robinson. The first step is to survey (the S step)the chapter by reading the title, introduction, section headings, summary and by studying any graphs, tables illustrations or charts. The purpose for this step is to get an overview of the chapter so that you will know before you read what it will be about. In the second step (the Q step), for each section you ask yourself questions such as “What do I already know about this topic?” and “What do I want to know?” In this step you also take the section heading and turn it into a question. This step gives you a purpose for reading the section. The third step (the first of the 3R’s) is to read to find the answer to your questions. Then at the end of each section, before going on to the next section, you recite (the second of the 3R’s)the answers to the questions that you formed in the question step. When you recite you should say the information you want to learn out loud in your own words. The fifth step is done after you have completed steps 2,3, and 4 for each section. You review (the last of the 3R's)the entire chapter. The review is done much as the survey was in the first step. As you review, hold a mental conversation with yourself as you recite the information you selected as important to learn. The mental conversation could take the form of asking and answering the questions formed from the headings or reading the summary, which lists the main ideas in the chapter, and trying to fill in the details for each main idea.

 

66.From the passage we can infer that the SQ3R method         .

       A.turns out to be practicable                    B.leaves much to be desired

       C.needs to be proven                              D.cannot be used by every reader

69.Which of the following is the fourth step?

       A.To question yourself.                        B.To read for information.

70.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

       A.In the last step, you should remember all the information.

       D.While you are holding a mental conversation you select the important information.

       Every Christmas the giant tree in Rockefeller Center sparkles with thousands of lights. From the beginning, when construction workers raised the first one during the depths of the Depression, it has been a symbol of hope. Diana Abad, like most Americans, loved that tree.

       In 1999, however, Diana was writing her will. The 33-year-old woman from Staten Island, New York, was diagnosed with leukemia(白血病)and wanted to put her things in order. Doctors told her she had nine months to live.

       Her slim chance for survival lay in finding a bone marrow(骨髓)donor. The most likely source for a match is always among relatives -- but her family was tested and there was none.

       Then one day in February 2000, she got a call from the hospital saying that out of the four million people enrolled in the National Marrow Donor Program Registry, there was only one match. The potential donor was thinking about it. In March the donor agreed, and the transplant procedure was scheduled for March 27.

       On that day, a doctor came in with the marrow in a bag, and Diana remembers him saying: “This is it. If it doesn’t graft within four to six hours, nothing will bring you back.” Diana asked a priest (牧师)to give her last rite(祈祷).

       Almost immediately after the two-hour procedure, she felt stronger. Doctors told her it looked like the graft had taken.

       Donors are anonymous, but when she was better, Diana sent a note through the Registry: “You don’t know the joy that I am experiencing,” she wrote. “I hope that one day we can meet and I can thank you in person.”

       It was several months before the donor replied. At first he didn’t even give his name. He was 34-year-old David Mason, and he lived in Dedham, Massachusetts. But eventually the two exchanged phone numbers and began to talk.

       Then unexpectedly and unannounced, he turned up at her door in Englishtown, New Jersey, on December 23. She says it was love at first sight. He says he didn’t feel it until they met the second time.

       That meeting began a long-distance romance that culminated(修成正果)under the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center in December 2004. That’s where David proposed(求婚)to Diana. She, of course, said yes.

       GUESS what’s making 9 million US teenagers scream at the top of their voices this summer? It's not the Hulk or Iron man hitting someone across a room, but the catchy beat of the music in Disney's latest TV movie Camp Rock, which came out in the US on June 20. The show attracted more than 8.9 million viewers.

So how does Camp Rock attract so many viewers? One reason is that it features the hugely popular boy band the Jonas Brothers, whom all the girls seem to adore.

But what's the story?

Connect Three is a rock group. One member, Shane Gray (Joe Jonas)needs to get rid of his bad boy rocker image, so he's sent by fellow band members Nate (Nick Jonas)and Jason (Kevin Jonas) to a music camp as a guest instructor(指导). The idea is the camp will help him clean up his act.

       There he meets Mitchie Torres (Demi Lovato), a teenage girl with an extraordinary voice and a driving ambition(志向)to be a pop singer. However, she can only afford to be at the expensive camp by helping her mom work in the mess hall (食堂)between classes.

       When Shane overhears Mitchie singing from behind closed doors, he sets out to find the girl with the beautiful voice.

      One group of teenagers was really eager to watch the movie. The kids took their positions on the floor to countdown to show time. One of them, Leah Karrels, 16, even sang the movie's theme(主题歌), We Rock. She explained that she's seen the trailer (预告片) so many times she knows the words by heart.

       The girls cheered when the movie began, and for the next two hours the only time they got up was to run for chocolate ice cream cake from the freezer.

       "I'm sure this is going to knock High School Musical off the shelves in stores. This is the next big thing," said Leah.

Do Americans have morals? That’s a good question. Moral values in America are like those in any 36  .

One of the most 37 moral values for Americans is honesty. The well-known 38 about George Washington and the cherry tree teaches this value  39  .Little George cut down his father’s favorite cherry tree  40   trying out his new hatchet. When his father asked him about it, George said, “I cannot tell a lie. I did it with my hatchet.” Instead of  41  ,George received praise. Sometimes American honesty-being open and direct-can   42   people. But Americans still believe that “honesty is the best policy.”

Another   43   Americans respect is perseverance(毅力).Remember Aesop’s fable about the turtle and the rabbit that had a   44  ?The rabbit thought he could  45   easily, so he took a nap. But the turtle finally won because he did not   46  .

Compassion(同情)may be the queen of American virtues. The story of “The Good Samaritan” from the Bible   47  a man who showed compassion. On his way to a   48  city, a Samaritan man found a poor traveler lying on the road. The kind Samaritan,   49  just passing by, stopped to help this person in need. Compassion can even turn into a positive  50  .In autumn 1992, people in Iowa sent truckloads of water to help Floridians   51  by a hurricane. The next summer, during the Midwest flooding, Florida   52  the favor.

In no way can this brief description   53  all the moral values honored by Americans. Courage, responsibility,   54  , gratitude and many others could be discussed. But no matter how long or how short the list, moral values are   55  .
