entire school lives. This is also true for an American girl named Melanie in the film, College Road Trip, which
was released in the US on March 7.
Melanie"s dad, James Porter, is the chief of police for a Chicago suburb. Incredibly worrying about her
daughter"s security, he wants Melanie to attend nearby Northwestern University, where she"s already been
accepted. But Melanie, 17, really wants to go to George-town in Washington, D.C., where she"s been
wait-listed.
When she gets an unexpected interview, she decides to take a road trip with a few close female friends.
Melanie believes it is her first step toward adulthood. But despite the fact that this trip is "girls only", James
isn"t comfortable with the prospect of his little princess exploring the world without him. He wants to protect
her.
James joins the girls and hopes he can convince her to go to Northwestern. While Melanie"s father only
has the best of intentions, his presence leads to an endless series of comic encounters (遭遇).
After following their faulty GPS device deep into the backwoods, James and Melanie discover her little
brother and his pet pig have been hiding in the spare tire compartment. (隔间).
What should be a simple tire charge (充气) results in the expensive car rolling down a mountain, forcing
them to hike to a nearby hotel. There the pig ruins an outdoor wedding reception after eating an entire bag of
coffee beans.
All these disasters add spice to their trip while along the way a father and a daughter finally get the chance
to really talk to each other.
The film explores the parent-child relationship in a comic way: The gap between how close James thinks
he is to Melanie and how little he actually knows of her plans makes us laugh first and then think.
All parents, whether they have college students or not, can relate to the bittersweet realization that their
kids are growing up. Like what Melanie and James have done in the film, we all can find the balance between
staying connected and letting go.
B. call on parents to learn to balance the relationship with their children
C. tell a story which happened between an American girl and her father
D. explore the difference in parent-child relationship between the west and the east.
B. known
C. shown
D. developed
B. a hotel was destroyed by Melanie"s brother and his pet pig
C. Melanie and her father got to understand each other better after so many encounters
D. the girls had to give up their trip because of the incidents on the way
B. Northwestern University isn"t so famous as the university in Washington D.C.
C. There is no hope that Melanie will be accepted by the university in Georgetown.
D. Melanie"s father prefers her to stay not too far away from him.

the dead. Before this, five major coal mine accidents since January have already claimed lives of 287 coal
miners.
Once an accident happens, the safety measures are scrutinized, officials and owners responsible are
punished or warned or fined. But the accidents keep happening time and again. The background of this
endless disaster is a country thirsty for energy to satisfy the appetite of its economic engine.
With the rich reserve (储存) of coal and relatively limited petroleum (石油) reserve, the former makes
up 67.12 percent of energy consumption. By contrast, petroleum and natural gas take about 60 percent
of the energy consumption in other countries.
Such a situation is unlikely to change within a foreseeable future because the country still counts heavily
on coal for more and more energy. If no measures with great effects are taken to improve the safety in the
mines, the accidents will remain a long-term headache for China.
Digging coal underground is, by its nature, a dangerous job. No equipment can guarantee 100 percent
safety for the miners working underground because numerous uncertainties exist.
Most of China"s coal mines are far from being mechanized. The average output of coal for each Chinese
coal miner every day is 1 ton, while the number in the US coal mines, where the production is highly
mechanized, is 40 tons.
Mechanized production in coal mines can cut down the number of miners who have to work on the
dangerous coal face. It can also enhance the capability of the mines to detect potential danger. In this way
mine accidents will be decreased.
Admittedly, the mechanized production demands financial support.
But what is the price of a life, or a dozen, a score-a hundred? Compare these awful figures with the
misery they bring, heavy investment is worthy.
B. positive
C. unclear
D. doubtful
A. made
B. examined
C. criticized
D. discussed
B. use more natural gas
C. cut down the number of miners
D. improve mechanized production
B. it"s improper to depend too much on coal for energy consumption
C. officials and coal mine owners didn"t take safety measures seriously
D. losing lives costs much more than improving mechanized production
Until late in the 20th century most Americans spent time with people of different generations. Now
middle-aged Americans may not keep in touch with old people until they are old themselves.
That"s because we group people by age. We put our three-year-olds together in day-care centers, our
13-year-olds in schools and sport activities, and our 80-year-olds in senior citizen homes. Why?
We live far away from the old for many reasons. Young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of
fears of aging and dying. It is much harder to watch someone we love disappear before our eyes. Sometimes
it"s got hard that we stay away from the people who need us the most.
Fortunately, some of us have found our way to the old. And we have discovered that they often save
the young.
A reporter moved her family into a block filled with old people. At first her children were disappointed.
But the reporter baked banana bread for the neighbors and had her children deliver it and visit them. Soon
the children had many new friends, with whom they shared food, stories and projects. "My children have
never been lonely," the reporter said.
The young, in turn, save the old. Once I was in a rest home (养老院) when a visitor showed up with
a baby, she was immediately surrounded. People who hadn"t gotten out of bed in a week suddenly were
ringing for a wheelchair. Even those who had seemed asleep woke up to watch the child. Babies have an
astonishing power to comfort and cure.
Grandparents are a special case. They give their grandchildren a feeling of security and continuity. As
my husband put it "My grandparents gave me a deep sense that things would turn out right in the end."
Grandchildren speak of attention they don"t get from worried parents. "My parents were always telling me
to hurry up, and my grandparents told me to slow down," one friend said. A teacher told me she can tell
which pupils have relationships with grandparents: they are quieter, calmer and more trusting.
B. not all working people live with their parents
C. aged people are supported by their grandchildren
D. grandchildren are supported by their grandparents
B. the baby was clever and beautiful
C. the baby brought them the image of life
D. the baby"s mother would take care of them
B. Because their worried parents ask them to act like that.
C. Because they have nothing to worry about.
D. Because their teachers ask them to act like that.
B. The old get excited when they see a baby.
C. The old can cure the young when they are sick.
D. Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure.
being convicted of (证明有……罪) shoplifting for the second time in six months.
Ana Luz, recently studying for her PhD, has been told she could end up behind bars unless she can control
the desire to steal from shops.
Luz, who lives with her partner in Fitzwilliam Road, Cambridge, admitted stealing clothes worth ￡9.95
from John Lewis in Oxford Street, London, on March 9.
Phillip Lemoyne, prosecuting (起诉), said Luz selected some clothes from a display and took them to the
ladies" toilet in the store. When she came out again she was wearing one of the skirts she had selected, having
taken off the anti-theft security alarms (防盗警报装置).
She was stopped and caught after leaving the store without paying, Mr Lemoyne said.
He added that she was upset on her arrest and apologized for her actions.
Luz, 28, was said to have been convicted of shoplifting by Cambridge judges last October, but Morag
Duff, defending, said she had never been in trouble with the police before that.
"She is ashamed and embarrassed but doesn"t really have any explanation why she did this," Miss Duff
said. "She didn"t intend to steal when she went into the store. She is at a loss to explain it. She is otherwise a
very respectable and intelligent young lady. She went to her doctor and asked for advice because she wants
to knowif there is anything in particular that caused her to do this."
Judge David Azan fined Luz ￡50, and warned:"You"ve got acriminal record. If you carry on like this,
you will end up in prison, which will ruin your bright future you may have."
Luz achieved a degree in design at university in her native Spain, went on to a famous university in Berlin,
Germany for her master"s degree and is now studying for a PhD at Cambridge University, UK.
B. British.
C. Spanish.
D. German.
B. Taking goods to the ladies" toilet.
C. Selecting some goods from a display.
D. Taking goods from a shop without paying.
B. Ana Luz is ashamed and embarrassed and knows why she often did so
C. the university graduate will be put in prison if she steals in shops once more
D. Phillip Lemoyne is the "respectable and intelligent" woman"s defense lawyer
B. Apologizing for the Actions in Shops
C. Seeking Professional Help from Experts
D. Controlling the Desire to Steal from Shops
children and force them to serve in the army. The reason is that the enemy isn"t likely to suspect children as
a real threat. Many non-government organizations are also known to abduct and force children into being
child soldiers. Below we have some quotes from former child soldiers.
"The army was a nightmare. We suffered greatly from the cruel treatment we received. We were often
beaten, mostly for no reason at all, just to keep us in a state of terror. I still have a scar on my lip and sharp
pains in my stomach from being violently kicked by the older soldiers. The food was not enough, and they
made us walk with heavy loads, much too heavy for our small bodies. They forced me to learn how to fight
the enemy."
— Emilio, 14
They gave me pills that made me crazy. When the craziness got in my head, I beat people on their heads
and hurt them until they bled. When the craziness got out of my head, I felt guilty. If I remembered the person,
I went to them and apologized. If they did not accept my apology, I felt bad.
— Michael, 13
As seen in the quotes, the army is not very friendly toward children. Forced to act like adults, kill like
adults, and carry an adult"s load, these children sometimes die from exhaustion (筋疲力尽). Below are some
facts about child soldiers.
Today, as many as 300,000 children under the age of 18 serve in government forces or armed rebel
groups. Some are as young as eight years old. Children are most likely to become child soldiers if they have
no money to buy food and clothes. Many children join armed groups because of economic or social pressure,
or because children believe that the group will offer food or safety. Child soldiers are used all over the world.
Here is a list of where child soldiers are used.
B. the enemy doesn"t consider children as a threat
C. there aren"t enough adults to join the army
D. they think children are very easy to control
B. Happy
C. Boring
D. Terrible
B. apologize to people
C. beat people violently
D. feel guilty about himself
B. have lost their parents
C. are loyal to their country
D. are braver than other children
clothes for boring school uniforms (校服). But not all campuses are fashion deserts. Colorful sports shoes,
school bags, T-shirts and even drink containers are breathing life into campuses.
"The uniform makes us look like a bunch of clones, especially when we are doing morning exercises
on the playground," said Qing Pei, a Senior 2 from Shanghai Qibao High School. "But the boys wear different
sports shoes and girls have different decorations in their hair. These are the areas where you can express
yourself," said Qing.
Although it might be strange for boys to talk about fashion, they do care about what they wear in school,
especially shoes, according to Qing. "Nike and Adidas basketball shoes, although they are still the must-have
items for many of my friends, are becoming out-of-date," Qing added. He explained that "Since Liu Xiang ran
so fast in Athens, running shoes are becoming popular in this autumn. "Still in fashion are the various baseball
caps and American-style T-shirts with random (随意的) English words printed on them," said Qing. Besides
sports shoes and T-shirts, styles and colors of school bags are another opportunity for students to express
their taste in fashion. Some bags are made more eye-catching by decorating (装饰) them with small hanging
dolls. Other fashionable items are the colorful drink containers which are now popular among girls this term.
"Some teachers are surprised to see a teenager sucking a bottle like this at school and criticized it as a childish
regression (退化). But some girls just love it," said Yang Rui, a Senior 3.
B. All of our exercises are the same.
C. We all look like twins.
D. We all have the similar fashions.
B. They wear school uniforms.
C. They have different decorations in their hair.
D. They drink water from colorful drink containers.
B. Baseball caps and American-style T-shirts.
C. Colorful drink containers.
D. Running shoes.
B. report students" great love for fashion
C. criticize a childish regression at campuses
D. discuss about school uniforms
