If you walk through the streets of any big city at six or seven in the morning, the chances are that you will see women hurrying along, pushing prams (婴儿推车). You may see more than one woman 1 on the same door and, as it opens, quickly kiss the child, 2 a package of nappies and hurry off down the street to clock on the early shift in an office, leaving their children to a child – minder – a woman who may be doing the job legally or illegally, well or badly. Brain Jackson, director of the Child – minding Researching Unit, and his colleagues have done a great deal of work in finding out 3 it means for a child to spend the first years of life in the care of a child – minder.

Local authorities are responsible for the registration and supervision (监管) of minders. The regulations 6 adequate provision (保障) for fire, safety and health. Very few minders can 7 these. Yet, not many districts give financial assistance. “This means,” Brain Jackson says, “that when you have one registered minder tested and proved by the local authorities, you can be sure that you will get a dozen unregistered, illegal minders 8 .”
The researchers found themselves 9 into the role of private investigators when they conduct their 10 . Getting up early to do a “Dawn Watch” following mothers through cold, dark streets and nothing where they left their babies, Jackson says, was a long, slow process.

The legal age for drinking alcohol in the United States is twenty-one. Underage drinking is a crime but also a common part of college social life. This week in our Foreign Student Series, we look at alcohol rules at American colleges and universities. These rules differ from school to school, as do measures. But many schools have been moving to strengthen their rules.
The United States has more than 17000,000 students in higher education. Each year, 1700 of them die from alcohol-related road crashes and other injuries. 600,000 more are injured while under the influence of alcohol. And almost 700,000 are attacked by another drunken.
One behavior that college officials are trying to prevent is too much drinking. Some researchers have found that students who think binge drinking is normal often think extremely how much other students really drink. A person can die of alcohol poisoning. At Oklahoma University, a nineteen-year-old student died from drinking heavily at a party in 2005
Now alcohol is banned from all sorority houses and university housing. Student organizations can serve alcohol at events but only on Friday and Saturday nights. Other new requirements include an alcohol education program that first-year students take online.
The rules govern behavior on campus (校园) and off. With a first violation(违犯), students pay seventy-five dollars and their parents are told. They must also take an alcohol education class. For a second "strike," they have to pay one hundred fifty dollars. A third strike means that they have to be suspended school for at least one semester.
Since 2005, 363 students have had a first strike. 30 have had a second strike -- and only one hasn’t allowed to go to school for one semester. The president at Oklahoma tells us the aim is not just to punish but to change behavior and the culture at the university.
小题1:The first paragraph mainly tells us that_________.| A．the legal age at the lowest for drinking alcohol is 21 | | B．many colleges consider drinking alcohol to be a crime | | C．drinking alcohol is a necessary and popular campus culture | | D．American colleges and universities have their own alcohol rules |
小题2:Every year the number of the students who die or are injured because of alcohol in the USA added up to about _______.| A．17000,000 | B．1,301,700 | C．601,700 | D．1300,000 |
小题3:If a student has a third strike, he/she should________. | A．have to stop going to school for a time | B．be removed to another school | | C．be locked at home for a period | D．be forced to leave school forever |
小题4:Which of the following statements is supported by the passage ?| A．College students are not allowed to drink alcohol at any time.. | | B．If students take an alcohol program online, they can drink alcohol . | | C．Students having a first strike only receive punishment of fine | | D．Students with a second strike pay twice as much as students with a first strike |
小题5:We can infer ________from the last two paragraphs.| A．alcohol rules have no effect on college students | | B．drinking alcohol remains a serious problem | | C．alcohol rules aim to change behavior and the culture at the university. | | D．the number of students drinking alcohol is dropping in one way. |

Every afternoon hundreds of thousands of youth fill Internet cafes, switch on a game console (游戏机), or otherwise sit down to enter fantasy worlds. I’m talking about video games. These games can be fun and exciting, but we need to look out when this pastime becomes an addiction.
Games are often quite exciting and dramatic, but they generally aren’t very intellectual. We don’t learn as much from them as we would only reading a book. Spending too much time playing them can take away our study time. We need to remember that we are students first. Nothing should ever get in the way of proper studying.
Video games can also be a bad effect on younger children who may be watching. Many video games are violent and the object in most of them is to kill the other player(s). This does not send the right message to the children who need to be told that violence is not acceptable and need to be taught how to deal with situations maturely. Even if we do need to sit down and play a violent video game, we need to make sure that it is not affect the younger people around us.
Playing a computer game in our spare time is not a bad thing. Games can be a great way to relax after studying, to connect to our friends, or just to help our creativity. However, games should not become the focus of our life. We need to make sure that laying games never interferes with our studies and that we aren’t thinking about them all day. If we ever find ourselves playing them too much, we need to break the addiction. If that happens, we need to step away from the computer or television screen and learn to spend our time more productively.
小题1:The writer mainly tells the readers __________.
to play computer games every afternoon
