family have a meal at table. Worrying about the obesity and breakdown of a family, people change their eating
habits so greatly, according to analysis. They find the number of the family having a meal together increases by
5% from 2002 to 2004, and most people who have meals with their family come from the rich social class.
The new discovery makes doctors and the people struggling against obesity extremely excited. Giving up the
tradition that the whole family have a meal together is exactly one of the reasons for a series of problems
including children"s overweight. If a child has a meal in front of the television or the computer alone, he will
often eat some fast food.
Jason Collins is one of the persons returning to the old tradition. Collins is a manager of a bake (烘面包)
house. He finds after he gets used to having a meal at home with his child, the child becomes much more
obedient (听话的). Dr. Jin is a child psychologist, and she expresses welcome to this result of the study. She
says it can make parents have a very good chance to chat with the child when the whole family have a meal
together.
B. Worrying about some social problems.
C. Worrying about the living expense.
D. Worrying about health and family problems.
B. most rich people have meals with their family
C. most children have the problem of overweight
D. most children don"t like having dinner with the parents
B. They feel surprised.
C. They feel sorry.
D. They feel disappointed.
B. Children become overweight all because of having dinner alone.
C. The family having dinner together is more united and friendly.
D. The reason a child has dinner alone is that he likes fast food.

teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies. A generation which would once only wear old-
fashioned clothes is now favouring the same high street looks worn by those half their age.
Professor Julia Twigg, a social policy expert, said, "Women over 75 are now shopping for clothes more
frequently than they did when they were young in the 1960s. In the 1960s buying a coat for a woman was
a serious matter. It was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four years-now you
can pick one up at the supermarket whenever you wish to. Fashion is a lot cheaper and people get tired of
things more quickly."
Professor Twigg analysed family expenditure (支出) data and found that while the percentage of spending
on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the same-at 5 or 6 per cent of spending-the amount of
clothes bought had risen sharply.
The professor said, "Clothes are now 70 per cent cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge
expansion of production in the Far East. In the 1960s Leeds was the heart of the British fashion industry and
that was where most of the clothes came from, but now almost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere.
Everyone is buying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them."
Fashion designer Angela Barnard, who runs her own fashion business in London, said older women were
much more affected by celebrity (名流) style than in previous years.
She said, "When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mirren looking attractive and fashionable
in their sixties, they want to follow them. Older women are much more aware of celebrities. There"s also the
boom in TV programmes showing people how they can change their look, and many of my older customers
do yoga to stay in shape well in their fifties. When I started my business a few years ago, my older customers
tended to be very rich, but now they are what I would call ordinary women. My own mother is 61 and she
wears the latest fashions in a way she would never have done ten years ago."
B. the spending on clothes has increased by 5% or 6%
C. people spend 30% less than they did on clothes
D. the amount of clothes bought has risen by 5% or 6%
B. They are now more easily influenced by stars.
C. They are regarded as pioneers in the latest fashion.
D. They are more interested in clothes because of their old age.
B. TV shows teach them how to change their look
C. they are in much better shape now
D. clothes are much cheaper than before
B. The More Fashionable, the Less Expensive
C. Unexpected Changes in Fashion
D. Boom of the British Fashion Industry
house. Some deal with the situation by watching TV. Some may hide. But all of them have something in
common. They spend part of each day alone. They are called latchkey children. They"re children who look
after themselves while their parents work. And their bad condition has become a subject of concern.
Lynette Long was once the headmistress of an elementary school. She said, "We had a school rule against
wearing jewelry. A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys fastened. I was constantly telling them
to put them inside their shirts. There were so many keys. It never came to my mind what they meant." Slowly,
she learned they were house keys.
She and her husband began talking to the children who had them. They learned of the impact (影响)
working couples and single parents were having on their children. Fear is the biggest problem faced by children
at home alone. One in each three latchkey children the Longs talked to reported being scared. Many had
nightmares and were worried about their own safety.
The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding. It might be in a shower stall,
under a bed, or in a closet. The second is TV. They"ll often play it at high volume. It"s hard to get statistics (情
况) on latchkey children, the longs learned. Most parents are slow to admit they leave their children alone.
B. suffer problems from being left alone
C. watch too much television during the day
D. are also found in middle-class neighborhoods
B. A lot of kids had chains around their necks.
C. They were house keys.
D. I was constantly telling them to put them inside their shirts.
B. freedom
C. loneliness
D. fear
B. latchkey children try to hide their feelings
C. latchkey children often watch TV with their parents
D. latchkey children enjoy having such a large amount of time alone
sat down at the next table, I couldn"t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman
asked, "So, how have you been?" And the boy-who could not have been more than seven or eight years old-
replied. "Frankly, I"ve been feeling a little depressed lately."
This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed (确认) my growing belief that children are changing.
As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn"t find out we were "depressed", that is, in low spirits, until
we were in high school.
Undoubtedly a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don"t seem childlike
anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used
to.
Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no
longer exists. Why?
Human development is depended not only on born biological states, but also on patterns of gaining social
knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new social
positions. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages; traditionally, we tell sixth
graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.
In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation (揭示) machine has been equipped in 98 percent of
American homes. It is called television. Television passes information to all viewers alike, whether they are
children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation (诱惑), many children turn their attention from printed texts
to the less challenging, more attractive moving pictures.
Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social
information which children will gain. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.
B. a mental state present in all humans, including children
C. something that cannot be avoided in children"s mental development
D. something hardly to be expected in a young child
B. gradually and under guidance
C. naturally without being taught
D. through watching television
B. the poor arrangement of teaching content
C. the fast pace of human scientific development
D. the rising standard of living
B. It develops children"s interest in reading and writing.
C. It helps children to read and write well.
D. It can control what children are to learn.
B. He thinks people should pay attention to the change.
C. He considers it a rapid development.
D. He seems to be upset about it.
passage.
Avril Lavigne announced she was splitting from her husband, comments from her friends suggested that
she was only 21 when she tied the knot and later she said that she realized she"d been too young to make
such a life-altering decision. Could fellow young celebrity divorcées (离婚者) Reese Witherspoon, Kate
Hudson, and Britney Spears have also hit the same age-related issue?
The Magic Number
There are practical reasons for the mid-20s dividing line, and most of them boil down to (总结) two
points: education and money.
It turns out that the more years of higher education a woman has under her belt on her wedding day,
the lower the chances that she"ll get divorced... and by 25, you"re more likely to have earned a degree or
two. Educated women tend to be more confident about who they are and less willing to settle for a man
who doesn"t meet their standards.
Odds (可能性) are that by 25 you"re also supporting yourself, so there"s less incentive (刺激; 鼓励)
for you to rush into marriage because you"re seeking financial security from him. But the marriage-related
benefits of working and having money of your own go beyond feeling secure. Learning to budget your
cash carefully when you"re single will help you avoid financial problems-one of the main causes of couple
fights-for the rest of your life. Knowing the Real You
At 25, you"ve had time for some crucial life experiences, including a relationship or two that may have
improved your Mr. Right radar. You"ve probably dated enough to have a better idea of what you don"t want
in a man, which makes it easier to know what you can live with and can"t live without.
Perhaps the most important aspect of waiting is that you"ll know what your goals and values really are.
While you don"t want to marry someone just like you, marriage is a lot easier if you two share a similar
outlook on life.
Twenty-four and already married to the man of your dreams? Don"t worry: Many young marriages survive.
But given the choice, you might consider putting off the big day until your mid-20s or later.

your life?", maybe you will say "Computers and the Internet."
The first computer was made in 1946. It was very big but it worked slowly. Today computers are getting
smaller and smaller. But they work faster and faster. What can computers do? A writer has said, "People can"t
live without computers today."
The Internet came a little later than computers. It is about twenty-five years later than computers. But now
it can be found almost everywhere. We can use it to read books, write letters, do shopping, play games or
make friends.
Many students like the Internet very much. They often go into the Internet as soon as they are free. They
make friends on the Internet and maybe they have never seen these friends. They don"t know their real names,
ages, and even sex (性别). They are so interested in making the "unreal friends" that they can"t put their heart
into study. Many of them can"t catch up with others on many subjects because of that.
We can use computers and the Internet to learn more about the world. But at the same time, we should
remember that not all the things can be done by computers and the Internet.
B. shopping
C. thinking
D. playing
B. small and worked slowly
C. large but worked slowly
D. small but worked quickly
B. 1970
C. 1980
D. 1985
B. Students use the Internet to make "unreal friends".
C. These "unreal friends" often meet each other.
D. Students know the friends on the Internet very well.
B. It can make students study harder.
C. It is not good for students.
D. It is helpful, but we can"t do everything on it.
