bombs to schools, the U. S. Department of Education said on May 8. 　　
    The department gave a report on the expulsions (开除) as saying handguns accounted for 85 percent
of the 6,093 expulsions in 1996-97, against 7 percent for rifles (步枪) or shotguns and 25 percent for other
types of firearms. 　　
    "The report is a clear sign that our nation"s public schools are cracking down (严惩) on students who
bring guns to school." Education Secretary Richard Riley said in a statement. "We need to be tough-minded
about keeping guns out of our schools and do everything to keep our children safe."

and a teacher at a school in Jonesboro, Arkansas. In October, two were killed and seven wounded in a
shooting at a Mississippi school. Two months later, a 14-year-old boy killed three high school students and
wounded five in Daducah, Kentucky. 　　
    Most of the expulsions, 56 per cent, were from high schools, which have students from about age 16.

阅读理解。    Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers (青少年). But last summer,
Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their elder son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends
than to his parents. "The door to his room is always shut." Joanns noted.
    Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. "She used to cuddle up (蜷伏) with
me on the sofa and talk," said Mark. "Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something,
Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring
out which time is which." 　
    Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what"s on their minds. "In fact, parents are first on the list."
said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. "This completely changes during
the teen years." Riera explained. "They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents
last."
    Parents who know what"s going on in their teenagers" lives are in the best position to help them. To break
down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try
to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need
freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with
their children is a better way to know them. 1. "The door to his room is always shut" suggests that the son _____. [     ]
A. is always busy with his studies 　　
B. doesn"t want to be disturbed (打扰) 　　
C. keeps himself away from his parents 　　
D. begins to dislike his parents 2. What troubles Tina and Mark most is that _____. [     ]
A. their daughter isn"t as lovely as before 　　
B. they can"t read their daughter"s mind exactly (确切地) 　　
C. they don"t know what to say to their daughter 　　
D. their daughter talks with them only when she needs help 3. Which of the following best explains "the wall of silence" in the last paragraph? [     ]
A. Teenagers talk a lot with their friends. 　　
B. Teenagers do not want to understand their parents. 　　
C. Teenagers do not talk much with their parents. 　　
D. Teenagers talk little about their own lives. 4. What can be learned from the passage? [     ]
A. Parents are unhappy with their growing children. 　　
B. Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers. 　　
C. Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers. 　　
D. Parents should try to understand their teenagers.

Sure, a teenager who works part-time may be learning something about responsibility, teamwork and money management. But research has shown that when teens work for 20 hours or more a week, as nearly half of US 12th graders do during the school year, the job isn"t just good practice for the future. Overworked teens give up some sleep and exercise, spend less time with their families, and cut back on their homework. That is not even the worst of it. A 2008 report by the National Research Council and the Institute of Medicine showed that students who worked 20 hours a week had lower grades, higher dropout rates (退学率), and were less likely to go to college. Most of these hardworking teens get jobs in the service industry, with more than half employed in restaurants and stores. A quarter of them are employed in the health-care industry, while 8% work in agriculture. Soon, teens may not be the ones deciding how many hours a week they want to spend on part-time jobs. A labor agency has asked Congress (国会) to give the US Department of Labor instructions to limit the number of hours youngsters under age 18 work during the school year, and Congress has agreed to. If you"d like tips on employment guidelines and teen employment, send away for the Parents Primer: When Your Teen Works. Mail $1 and your written request to the National Consumers League, 1701 K Street, NW, Suite 1200, Washington, DC 20006.

Child labor-the employment of children in industry, often against their will - has been a problem for many years. Over a hundred years ago, Charles Dickens shocked many of his readers when he described the conditions under which young children worked in British factories. The conditions Dickens described continue almost unchanged today in many parts of the world. The only difference is that today employment of children is confined (limited) to small industries and family businesses, such as hotels, restaurants and particularly farms, rather than to large factories. Girls suffer more from child labor practices than boys. Many of them are forced to start work when they are only ten years old. Although the work they are given to do is often light, it is often harmful to the health. Recently, children as young as six years were found to be working in Asian factories, and the children were working from eight to fourteen hours a day in overcrowded and unhealthy working conditions. Sometimes a whole family group is employed, with the payment going to a parent or older relative. The children not only receive nothing or very little for their long hours of work, but also they are prevented from attending school. Therefore, when they become older they are unable to do any other kind of work. The solution to the problem of child labor is clearly better laws to protect young children, greater supervision (监督) of industry and heavier fines for those who break the laws. Only in this way can young boys and girls be allowed to enjoy the most valuable time of their lives-childhood.

[ ]
A. not harmful to the health though it is heavy B. not harmful to the health because it is light C. harmful to the health though it is light D. harmful to the health because it is heavy

[ ]
A. because they are forced to B. in order to be skillful in a certain kind of work C. in order to be paid well D. in order to earn money for education
4. To solve the problem of child labor, the writer suggests the following BUT _____.
[ ]
A. looking over factories more closely B. raising their payment and improving the system of education C. improving laws of protecting children"s interests D. punishing lawbreakers with severer fines
