listeners to take part in the talk shows.
That"s a good idea. Yet, the fact is some people do nothing but break the whole programme.
Some people know little about the topic under discussion. Sometimes they do not even know what the
host (主持人) is talking about. So the host has to tell the caller what the show is about. Usually the caller will
ask a few questions which express his hope and show his ignorance (无知). Then the host has to answer and
explain－how silly this is! It wastes a lot of time.
It seems that some people phone the hotlines in fun. They just want to let the listeners hear them. They
don"t care what the topic is, whether they themselves are interested in or how silly they appear to be.
I"m totally bored (厌烦) by those people. It"s necessary for radio stations to improve the hotline
programmes.In my opinion, if the caller doesn"t know what is going on, the operator should not let the caller
take part in it.
B. it is a fact
C. it is a good idea
D. some people have unclear thoughts
B. Some people do not know what the host is talking about.

B. because of the caller"s ignorance
C. for the host likes talking to the caller
D. because of a lot of questions raised by the caller
B. that some people just want to be heard by others

still don"t understand, according to a British study presented (递交) last week to an international conference
(大会) on smoking.
Anti-smoking activists at the second "Tobacco or Health" conference pointed out that although adults
were giving up smoking in growing numbers, more and more young people were taking up the habit,
particularly girls.
One-fourth of the 15-year-old young people smoke regularly, according to the study made in 27 countries
by Edinburgh University together with the World Health Organization.
In Western Europe, girls were more likely to smoke than boys. In Germany or in England, one third of
the girls were smokers compared to (相比) one in four boys. In Eastern Europe, the girls "still fall behind"
those in the Western Europe but were "catching up" quickly, said the study.
The study dealt with the behavior of 15-year-old in seven European countries between 1986 and 1998.
The percentages (百分比) of young women smoking went from 17% to 36% in Austria, from 17% to
28% in Norway, from 21% to 28% in Hungary.
In the seven countries and regions studied-Austria, Finland, Hungary, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and
Wales-more girls smoked than boys, with the exception (例外) of Hungary.

C. girls
D. old men

Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk
about interests both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents
when he was a teenager.
"I would never have said to my mom, "Hey, the new Weezer album is really great. How you like it?" says
Ballmer. "There was just a complete gap in taste."
Music was not the only gulf. From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier generations
of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.
Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. Conversations on
subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago. Now they are comfortable and
common. And parent-child activities, from shopping to sports, involve a feeling of trust and friendship that
can continue into adulthood.
No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, "To my mother, my best friend."
But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents.
"There"s still a lot strictness and authority on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening,"
says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College, "In the middle of that change, there is a lot of
confusion among parents."
Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as
a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that
encourages everyone to have a say.
"My parents were on the "before" side of that change, but today"s parents, the 40-year-old, were on the
"after" side," explains Mr. Ballmer. "It"s not something easily accomplished by parents these days, because life
is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now."
B. distance
C. difference
D. separation
B. Parents put more trust in their children"s abilities.
C. Parents and children talk more about sex and drugs.
D. Parents share more interests with their children.
B. new equality between parents and children
C. less respect for parents from children
D. more strictness and authority on the part of parents
B. discuss the development of the parent-child relationship
C. suggest the ways to handle the parent-child relationship
D. compare today"s parent-child relationship with that in the past
students sleep less than nine hours every night, because they have much homework to do. Some homework
is given by their teachers, and some by their parents. Also, some students don"t know how to save time.
They are not careful enough while they do their homework, so it takes them a lot of time. Some students
spend too much time watching TV or playing computer games. They stay up (熬夜) very late. Some students
have to get up early every morning on weekdays to get to school on time by bus or by bike. It can be a long
way from home to school. It will probably make them sleepy (困的) during school hours.
Schools and parents should cut down some of the homework so that our children can enjoy more than
nine hours of sleep every night for their health. For children, they should make the most (best use) of their
time. When they have enough time for sleeping, they will find it much better for both their study and health.
