Music can also be used to bring about a more positive state of mind by helping to keep worries away.

Parents have to do much less for their children today than they used to do, and home has become much less of a workshop. Clothes can be bought ready made, washing can go to the laundry, food can be bought cooked, canned or preserved, bread is baked and delivered by the baker, milk arrives on the doorstep, meats can be had at the restaurant, the work"s canteen, and the school dining-room. It is unusual now for father to pursue his trade or other employment at home, and his children rarely, if ever, see him at his place of work. Boys are therefore seldom trained to follow their father"s occupation, and in many towns they have a fairly wide choice of employment and so do girls. The young wage-earner often earns good money, and soon acquires a feeling of economic independence. In textile areas it has long been customary for mothers to go out to work, but this practice has become so widespread that the working mother is now a not unusual factor in a child"s home life, the number of married women in employment having more than doubled in the last twenty-five years. With mother earning and his older children drawing substantial wages father is seldom the dominant figure that he still was at the beginning of the century. When mother works,economic advantages accrue, but children lose something of great value if mother"s employment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from schoo1. |
1. The writer mentions home as workshop because . |
A. fathers often pursue employment at home B. parents had to make food and necessity themselves for their daily-life C. many families produce goods at home for sale D. both fathers and mothers in most families are workers |
2. The word "accrue" in the sentence "When mother accrue," is closest in meaning to . |
A. change B. dwindle C. double D. increase |
3. The chief reason that boys are seldom trained to follow their father"s occupation is _______. |
A. that children nowadays rarely see their fathers at their place of work B. that fathers do not like to pursue employment at home any more C. that there is a wide choice of employment for children D. that children also like to have jobs outside |
"A very disruptive(扰乱型的) six-year old child kicked my legs and clawed at my hand," said one teacher. "I broke up a fight and was kicked between my legs," said another. Many people have heard stories like this. But the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents. Every child, regardless of the circumstances into which they are born, has the right to achieve their potential, regardless of their parents’ wealth and class. And we recognize that, as a nation,it is a long way to achieve this goal. But rights come with responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of neglecting the latter. Far too many children are behaving badly at school, even to the point of being violent to staff. This is terrible enough, but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behavior of their parents. Too many are starting school unable to hold a knife and fork, unused to eating at a table, and unable to use the lavatory properly. We are in danger of becoming a nation of families living separate lives under one roof. The bedroom, once a place to sleep, has become the living space for the young. Spending hours in front of computer screens, on social networking sites or being immersed in computer games, children and young people spend little time with their parents. Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching. Schools cannot right the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute parents. Both parties need to work together. Parents must be helped and given confidence to take back control. They are responsible for setting boundaries for their children"s behavior and sticking to those boundaries when the going gets tough. They are responsible for setting a good example to their children and for devoting that most precious of resources—time—so that children come to school ready and willing to learn. |
1. In the opinion of the writer, what problem do people ignore? |
A. The school violence. B. The pressure of students" learning C. The right to achieve students potential. D. the responsibilities of the students. |
2. The writer"s attitude to the behaviors of parents may be that of ________. |

A. parents and children live in their separate rooms B. parents care little about children"s life at home C. children don"t live with their parents in the same room D. at home children live a different life from that of parents |
4. From the last paragraph, we can infer that______. |
A. schools can"t correct the wrongs that society does to teachers B. teachers have no responsibility for playing the role of parents C. parents should spend time with children making them ready to learn D. students are responsible for making themselves known in society |

Nervous suspects (嫌疑犯) locked up in Britain"s newest police station may feel relieved by a pleasant yellow color on the door. If they are close to confessing a crime (招供), the blue on the wall might tip the balance. Gwent Police have stopped using colors such as greys and browns of the 20th-century police cell (牢房)and have used color psychology to decorate them. Ystrad Mynach station, which recently opened at a cost of £5 million, has four cells with glass doors for prisoners who suffer from claustrophobia (幽闭恐怖症). Designers have painted the frames yellow, which researchers say is a calming color. Other cells contain a royal blue line because psychologists believe that the color is likely to encourage truthfulness. The station has 31 cells, including 12 with a "live scan" system for drunken or disturbed prisoners, which detects the rise and fall of their chest. An alarm alerts officers if a prisoner"s breathing stops and carries on ringing until the door is opened. Designers and psychologists have worked for years on color. Blue is said to suggest trust, efficiency, duty, logic, coolness, thinking and calm. It also suggests coldness and unfriendliness. It is thought that strong blues will stimulate clear thought and lighter, soft colors will calm the mind and aid concentration. Yellow is linked with confidence, self-respect and friendliness. Get the color wrong and it could cause fear, depression and anxiety, but the right yellow can lift spirits and self-respect. Ingrid Collins, a psychologist who specializes in the effects of color, said that color was an "energy force". She said, " Blue does enhance (improve) communication but I am not sure it would enhance truthful communication." Yellow, she said, affected the mind. Red, on the other hand, should never be considered because it could increase aggression. Mrs. Collins praised the designers for using colors in the cells. Gwent is not the first British force to experiment with color to calm down and persuade prisoners to co-operate. In the 1990s Strathclyde Police used pink in cells based on research carried out by the US Navy. |
1. The expression "tip the balance" in paragraph 1 probably indicates that the blue might _______. |
A. let suspects keep their balance B. help suspects to confess their crimes C. make suspects cold and unfriendly in law court D. enable suspects to change their attitudes to colors |
2. Which of the following colors should NOT be used in cells according to the passage? |
A. Pink. B. Yellow. C. Blue. D. Red. |
3. Which of the following helps alert officers if someone stops breathing? |
A. Scanning equipment. B. Royal blue lines. C. Glass doors. D. Yellow frames. |
4. The passage is mainly concerned with __________. |
A. the relationship between colors and psychology B. a comparisons of different functions of colors C. the use of colors in cells to affect criminals" psychology D. scientific ways to help criminals reform themselves in prison |
5. What"s the author"s attitude toward the change of the color in prison? |
A. Against. B. Favorable. C. Passive. D. Excited |
