surprising.Obviously there are some pretty big differences between our behavior and theirs
in this respect.Most Chinese children seem to get whatever they want,from ice creams,sweets
and toys to endless attention from the adults around them.Is this a sort of spoiling or love?I
wonder.
Most westerners would think it is a sort of spoiling rather than love.We think love means
educating your children and bringing them up to lead an independent life.That includes learning
to accept the fact that he can"t get everything he wants.As an adult,he will not always get the
quite expensive car he hunts for；she will not always manage to acquire the beautiful dress
she longs for.So we try to teach our children early to cope with the disappointment of not
getting what they want.
I find too much such kind of love for the children can actually spoil them.To my surprise,it
seems that the life of a Chinese child is rather hard.Without doubt,the child is the very center
of a whole circle of adults,but on the other hand he or she is also expected to start studying
according to adults" wishes.Many children of my son"s age take piano lessons,painting classes
and even English lessons.It looks as if Chinese adults think that just playing without learning
anything is a waste of time.So in this respect our children appear spoiled
,just because they are allowed to play.But without this sort of play how can Western children develop such free
and rich imaginations?In fact the connection between this imagination and the creativity is so
important in the children" s future life.
B．They can play whenever they want.
C．They need not behave themselves.
D．Their d
emands can always be satisfied.B．rather easy
C．independent
D．colorful
B．they can have the freedom to play
C．they can take piano lessons
D．they may have expensive toys
.B．How to develop kids" imagination
C．What is the real love for children
D．The imagination and creativity

of five young people now get on with their parents,which is the opposite of the popularly held
image of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more
harmonious than it has ever been in the past."We were surprised by just how positive today"s
young people seem to be about their families,"said one member of the research team."They"re
expected to be rebellious (叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds；
they want a car and material goods,and they worry about whether school is serving them well.
There"s more negotiation (商议) and discussion between parents and children,and children expect
to take part in the family decisionmaking process.They don"t want to rock the boat."
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to
treat their children as friends."My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen
to me," says 17yearold Daniel Lazall."I always tell them when I"m going out clubbing.As long as
they know what I"m doing,they"re fine with it." Susan Crome,who is now 21,agrees."Looking back
on the last 10 years,there was a lot of what you could call negotiation.For example,as long as I"d
done all my homework,I could go out on a Saturday night.But I think my grandparents were a lot
stricter with my parents than that."
Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected.It is possible that the idea of
teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts.A researcher comments,"Our surprise that teenagers
say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history
when teenagers were regarded as different beings.But that idea of rebelling and breaking away
from their parents really happened during the 1960s when everyone rebelled.The normal situation
throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it
over."
B．They dislike living with their parents.
C．They have to be locked in to avoid troubles.
D．They quarrel a lot with other family members.
B．cause trouble in their families
C．go boating with their family
D．make family decisions
B．are much stricter with their children
C．careless about their children"s life
D．give their children more freedom
"Two full inches in the first three days!"
These are the kinds of statements used in magazine,newspaper,radio and television ads,
promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device.The
promoters of products say they can shape the legs,slim the face,smooth wrinkles,or in some
other way to add to beauty or desirability.
Often such products are nothing more than moneymaking things for their promoters.The
results they produce are questionable,and some are dangerous to health.
To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public,it is necessary to
understand something of the laws covering their regulation.If the product is a drug,FDA
(Food and Drug Administration)can require proof under the Food,Drug,and Cosmetic Act
that is safe and effective before it is put on the market.But if the product is a device,FDA
has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness.If a product already
on the market is a danger to health,FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it
from the market voluntarily,or it can take legal action,including seizure(查封)of the product.
One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor,which
had been sold for reducing the waistline.The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body
through contact pads.FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device
on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life.
Obviously,most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings
(法律诉讼),and new devices appear continually.Before buying,it is up to the consumer to judge
the safety or effectiveness of such items.
B．costly
C．unreliable
D．illegal
B．New products are more likely to be questionable.
C．The production of a device must be approved by FDA.
D．The promoters usually just care about profits.
B．if it is a device
C．if its consumers make complaints
D．if its distributors challenge FDA"s authority
B．a product whose distributor was involved in a legal case
C．a successful advertisement of a beauty product
D．an example of a quality beauty product
B．show the weakness of the law on product safety
C．give advice on how to keep young and beautiful
D．introduce the organization of FDA
noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the
countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural(乡下的) areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years.
In many countries, the main reason people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two
large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area
begins to grow. There is usually a_residential_area nearby, too. The families of these workers need
schools, hospitals and shops, so many people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.
In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main
offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city center downtown. It is here that you can see
many huge skyscrapers(摩天大楼)and office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way
to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the
city center. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.
But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger and bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years, and it is quite possible that one day we will
see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages.
B. which is suitable for living in
C. where people can do business
D. which is near a city center
B. Because they like noisy life better than peaceful life.
C. Because they mainly want to find work there.
D. Because they are sure of having a better life there.
B. People usually work and live in the business district.
C. A business district usually lies in the city center downtown.
D. Nearly every major city has its own business district.
B. but live in the suburbs of the city
C. and live in another city
D. but live in rural areas
B. will surely continue in the future
C. may not continue in the future
D. has now stopped already
a few coins, do you hurry on, not __1__ what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly __2__ some
money? What should our attitude towards beggars be? There can be no question that the world is
full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come
from. It seems __3__ not to give some money to beggars.
__4__, most of the world"s great religions order us to be openhearted and __5__what we have
with those less lucky than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally right in
the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help,
is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their __6__.
Firstly, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually
make a good __7__ from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil. __8__,
there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, there is
the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for
losing one"s sense of __9__ and selfdependence.
Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be handled by the government rather
than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department
and __10__ help.
It is hard to come to any final conclusion: there are various __11__and we must deal with them
differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does
not take away the moral goodness of the __12__.

bank account from their partner.While this financial unfaithfulness may appear as distrust in
a relationship,in truth it may just be a form of financial protection.With almost half of all
marr
iages ending in divorce,men and women are realizing they need to be financially savvy,regardless of whether they are in a relationship.
The financial hardship on individuals after a divorce can be extremely difficult,even more
so when children are involved.The lack of permanency in relationships,job and family life
may be the cause of a growing trend to keep a secret bank account hidden from a partner,
in other words,an"escape fund"．
Margaret"s story is far from unique.She is a representative of a growing number of
women in long－term relationships who are becoming protective of their own earnings.Every
month on pay day,she banks hundreds of dollars into a savings account she keeps from her
husband.She has been doing this throughout their six－year marriage and has built a nest egg
worth an incredible$100,000.Margaret says if her husband found about her secret savings
he"d be hurt and would take this as a sign that she wasn"t sure of the marriage."He"d think it
was my escape fund so that financially I could afford to get out of the relationship if it went
wrong.I know you should approach marriage as being forever and I hope ours is,but you
can never be sure."
Like many of her fellow secret savers,Margaret was hurt in a former relationship and has
since been very guarded about her own money.
Coming clean to your partner about being a secret saver may not be all that bad.Take
Colleen for example,who had been saving secretly for a few years before she confessed to
her partner."I decided to open a savings account and start building a nest egg of my own.I
wanted to prove to myself that I could put money in the bank and leave it there for a rainy
day."
B．days are getting harder and harder
C．women are money sensitive
D．financial conflicts often occur
B．secure
C．wise
D．simple
B．She was once divorced.
C．She is going to retire.
D．She has many chi
ldren.B．privacy within marriage should be respected
C．everyone can save a fortune with a happy marriage
D．financial disclosure is not necessarily bad
B．Love is what it"s worth
C．Banking honesty
D．Once bitten,twice shy
