第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

A

EAT YOUR VEGETABLE. Wash your hands. Always say “please” and “thank you”. We are full of advice for our children, but when it comes to money, we often have little to say. As a result, our children may grow up with clean hands and good manners, but without any idea how to manage their money.

Here are some basics that will guide them their entire lives:

Show them the future. If your 13-year-old girl were to save $1,000, invest it at 8% and add $100 every month, by the time she’s 65, she would have $980,983!

Be careful of credit. Credit cards can help you buy necessary things and build a credit history, but they must be used responsibly, which means paying off your debt in time. Explain to your children that when you buy something using a credit card, you can easily end up paying two or three times what you would have paid if you used cash.

Teach patience. Suppose your child wants a new bicycle that costs $150. Rather than paying the cash, give him some regular pocket money and explain that by putting aside, say $15 each week, he will be able to buy it for himself in only ten weeks.

Provide incentive. Tell your children the importance of saving. “For every dollar he or she agrees to save and invest rather than spend, you agree to add another dollar to the pot,” says Cathy Pareto, expert in money planning.

Explain your values. Values and money are deeply intertwined, says Eilleen Gallo, co-author

of The Financially Intelligent Parent. When your child demands that you buy something, explain why you really don’t want to buy it. You might say, “I’d rather save that money for your education”, advises Gallo. Every time you spend or don’t spend money, you have a chance to share your values.

56. The writer gives some basics to help____ in a proper way.

A. parents teach their children how to deal with money

B. children manage their money

C. children follow their parent s’ instructions

D. parents save their money

57. The writer thinks that, if a child wants to buy something, his parents should________.

A. give him some regular pocket money

B. encourage him to put money away for it

C. explain to him the important of investment

D. tell him to save some money by using a credit card

58. The underlined word “incentive” in Paragraph 6 means_____.

A. honor

B. praise

C. excitement

D. encouragement

59. What leads the writer to write this article?

A. Parents want to know how to educate their children

B. He wants to share his good ideas about money matters.

C. He thinks money management the most important for children

D. Parents care little about their children’s management of money

A. One who enjoys working with teenagers from different countries.

B. One who hopes to take action in fighting against diseases.

C. One who has a strong desire to improve his or her English

A. In some local offices in the US.

B. In an ESL organization in china

C. In a preparation program in Denmark

D. In an exchange student center in Africa

Anyone who cares about what schools and colleges teach and how their students learn will be interested in the memoir. (回忆录)of Ralph W. Tyler , who is one of the most famous men in American education.

Born in Chicago in 1902 ，brought up and schooled in Nebraska, the 19-year –old college graduate Ralph Tyler became hooked on teaching while teaching as a science teacher in South Dakota and changed his major from medicine to education.

Graduate work at the University of Chicago found him connected with honorable educators Charles Judd and W.W. Charters, whose ideas of teaching and testing had an effect on his later work.. In 1927, he became a teacher of Ohio state university where he further developed a new method of testing.

Tyler became well-known nationally in 1938, when he carried his work with the Eight-Year Study from Ohio State University to the University of Chicago at the invitation of Robert Hutchins.

Tyler was the first director of the Center For Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford, a position he held for fourteen years. There , he firmly believed that researchers should be free to seek an independent spirit in their work.

Although Tyler officially retired in 1967 , he never actually retired. He served on a long list of educational organizations in the United States and abroad . Even in his 80s he traveled across the country to advise teachers and management people on how to set objectives that develop the best teaching and learning within their schools.

D

The “Bystander Apathy Effect ” was first studied by researchers in New York after neighbors ignored --- and in some cases turned up the volume on their TVs—the cries of a woman as she was murdered (over a half-hour period). With regard to helping those in difficulty generally, they found that :

1)women are helped more than men

2)men help more than women

3)attractive women are helped more than unattractive women

Other factors relate to the number of people in the area, whether the person is thought to be in trouble through their own fault, or whether a person sees himself as being able to help .

According to Adrian Furnham, Professor of University College , London there are three reasons why we tend to stand by doing nothing.

1)“Shifting of responsibility ”—the more people there are, the less likely help is to be given.

Each person excuses himself by thinking someone else will help, so that the more “other people ”there are , the greater the total shifting of responsibility.

2)“Fear of making a mistake ”---situations are often not clear . people think that those

involved in an accident may know each other or it may be a joke , so a fear of embarrassment makes them keep themselves to themselves .

3)“Fear of the consequences if attention is turned on you, and the person is violent.”

Laurie Taylor ,Professor of Sociology at London University , says, “In the experiments I’ve seen on intervention (介入)”,much depends on the neighbor or setting. There is a silence on public transport which is hard to break. We are embarrassed to draw attention to something that is happening, while in a football match, people get involved , and a fight would easily follow .

Psychotherapist Alan Dupuy identifies the importance of the individual, “The British as a whole have some difficulty intervening , but there are exceptional individuals in every group who are pre pared to intervene , regardless of their own safety, these would be people with a strong moral code or religious ideals.”

68. which of the following statements is true according to the passage ?

A. Pretty women are more likely to be helped

B. People on a bus are more likely to stop a crime

C. Religious people are more likely to look on

D. Criminals are more likely to harm women

69. Which factor is not related with intervention ?

A. Sex

B. Nationality

C. Profession

D. Setting

70. which phenomenon can be described as the “Bystander Apathy Effect”?

A. When one is in trouble , people think it’s his own fault.

B. In a football match, people get involved in a fight

C. Seeing a murder , people feel sorry that it should have happened.

D. On hearing a cry for help, people keep themselves to themselves.

71.The author wrote this article

A. to explain why bystanders behave as they do

B. to urge people to stand out when in need

C. to criticize the selfishness of bystanders

D. to analyze the weakness of human nature .

American are proud of their variety and individuality(个性), yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five star - general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?

Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian （百姓的）clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes, Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity（身份）than to step out of uniform?

Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes, They save on laundry bills. They are tax - deductible （可减税的）. They are often more comfortable and more durable(=long-lasting) than civilian clothes.

Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the resulting loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.

Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long - lasting, often their first expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.

72．It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality________.

A. still judge a man by his clothes

B. hold the uniform in such high regard

C. enjoy having a professional identity

D. will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform

73．People are used to think that a man in uniform________.

A. suggests quality work

B. discards his social identity

C. appears to be more practical

D. looks superior to a person in civilian clothes 74．The chief function of a uniform is to________.

A. provide practical benefits to the wearer

B. make the wearer catch the public eye.

C. inspire the wearer’s confidence in himself

D. provide the wearer with a professional identity

75．The best title for this passage would be________.

A. Uniform and Society

B. The Importance of Wearing a Uniform．

C. Practical Benefits of Wearing a Uniform.

D. Advantages and Disadvantages of Uniforms

Is Recycling Textbook a Good suggestion?

On behalf of our group, I’d like to give a brief summary of our discussion on the topic “Is Recycling Textbook a Good Suggestion?” As we know, when high school students graduate from school, their textbooks are thrown away, which are still in good condition. What a great waste it is!

A suggestion has been put forward that we should recycle the textbooks. Some students in my group agree to this suggestion. For one thing, recycling textbooks can save a lot of natural resources, which are used to make textbooks. And it can also save plenty of family expenses. For another, in western countries, recycling textbooks is very popular and it gives us a good example. But some have different opinions about it, for the content of the textbooks are often renewed. What’s more, it is not proper to make notes in the textbooks. But in my opinion, this is a wonderful idea because this will do good to both the government and the families.
