D
Over 70 percent of the "double single-child couples" in China need help from their parents in taking care of their own kids, according to a recent survey.
"Women of China" magazine and a consulting company carried out a survey recently on young couples of the "single-child" generation, the Morning Post reports.The couples surveyed were around 29 and have been married for three years on average, with university education and monthly income of 4.000 yuan ($531).Among them, 43.5 percent have kids.
Results show that 71.9 percent of the young couples have help from their parents in taking care of their kids.
Grown up as the "single-child", the only child in a family since the family planning policy was adopted in 1979, this generation depends much on their parents.
The parents of the "single-child" generation focused more on their children"s physical well-being rather than their attitudes and values, according to some psychologists.
The research also found that the "double single-child couples" follow a rather traditional value system.
Survey shows that 27.5 percent of them got married after dating for one to two years, 25.2 percent two to five years, and 20 percent didn"t tie the knot until dating for five years.Also, 30 percent of the couples were schoolmates, while 43.8 percent were introduced by someone.
Since their marriage are based on enduring relationships, 65.2 percent of the husbands and 62.9 percent of the wives think that compromise(妥协)and tolerance(宽容)are necessary in their marriage.Meanwhile, 21.7 percent of the husbands and 37.1 percent of the wives support the idea that happiness is the key standard for a marriage.

(B)
The U.S.birthrate began to decline in the middle 1950’s, resulting in a smaller college age population starting in the middle 1970’s.Something else happened in the 1970’s: the price of oil increased greatly, driving up the price of almost everything and making Americans aware that their large automobiles used a lot of gasoline.At the same time, foreign car manufacturers had begun to produce small fuel efficient cars in large quantities for the export market.Suddenly, the large, gas guzzling American cars were no longer attractive to American buyers, who began buying foreign cars by the thousands.The American automobile industry went into a recession.Thousands of automotive workers were laid off, as were thousands of people in industries indirectly connected with the auto industry.
People who are laid off tend to keep what money they have for necessities, like food and housing.They do not have the extra money needed to send their children to college.Their children cannot pay their own college costs, because during a recession they cannot find jobs.High unemployment means that more state funds must be used for social service-----unemployment benefits, and to aid dependent children, for example-----than during more prosperous times.It also means, that the states have fewer funds than usual, because people are paying fewer taxes.Institutions of higher education depend on two major sources of income to keep them functioning: tuition from students and funds from the states.At the present time, there are fewer students than in the past and fewer state funds available for higher education.The colleges and universities are in trouble.
60.What is the main idea of this passage?
A.The rising of oil price drove up the price of everything.
B.There were many reasons why higher education was in trouble in the 1970’s.
C.Birthrate began to decline in the USA in 1950’s.
D.High unemployment caused a lot of social problems.
61.American cars were not popular in their domestic markets because they were____.
A.small              B.gas consuming             
C.fuel efficient          D.not attractive
62.The colleges and universities were in trouble because of the following reasons except that ____.
A.they couldn’t get enough income to keep them running
B.young people couldn’t afford the tuition fees
C.keeping them running at the same level would cost much more
D.social services need more state funds because of the recession
63.All of the following statements are true EXCEPT ____.
A.young people couldn’t afford their own tuition in the 1970’s
B.it’s difficult for graduates from colleges to find a job in the 1970’s
C.fewer parents could afford to send their children to college because of the recession in 1970’s
D.Birthrate dropped in the 1970’s because of the recession

Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children.Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the US or Australia.They also want their children to take extra-courses activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life.The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is.So parents will spend unreasonable amount of money on education.Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.
However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give their children is usually very cheap.
Parents can see that their children’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others.What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children lack self-respect and self-confidence.
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.
Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking , sewing and doing other housework.
Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life.Cooking demands patience and time.It is an enjoyable but difficult experience.A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully.His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of confidence.
Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest.He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up.These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind.And that is more important.

Capturing the Memories
  Almost everyone has heard of MySpace.com.It allows friends to connect with each other.But did you ever wonder where the idea for this website came from? It is modeled after high school yearbooks.
  A yearbook is a book used to record memories of a specific class.For example,I graduated from Manchester West High School in 2001.My yearbook is dedicated(献给) to my senior class.In this book you will find a picture of all my classmates.
  Alongside your picture,you can put a quote that is important to you.Next to the quote and your photo is a list of your school and sports activities.Later in the book are pages dedicated to teams and organizations.For example,the girls football team has a page of pictures and memories.
  After you receice the yearbook,you go around and have your friends sign it and write letters to you.This will remind you about the many adventures you had with your friends. Although, 40 years ago,a girl wrote a loving message in my father"s yearbook but when he showed me it,he didn"t remember who the girl was!
  But the yearbook is the final memory for seniors,so it will often be the one reminder of your high school years that you carry with you throughout life.In my mother"s yearbook she still has,pressed between the pages,the flower her date gave her at her senior prom. That was in 1967.
  High school is a magical time.It is when we experience many of the important moments of your lives.Our first kiss.Driving for the first time.Our first big success.Out first major hearbreak.Unlike MySpace,which can constantly be updated,a yearbook captures these special moments in our lives and holds on to them forever so that we may never forget.Because,honestly , we will never want to.
  60.What does the passage mainly focus on?
   A.The characteristics of MySpace.com.
   B.The members who set up MySpace.com.
   C.The differences between MySpace.com and a yearbook.
   D.The introduction to yearbooks.
  61.All of the following will be included in a school yearbook except ______.

   C.A yearbook can help you remember the great moments you shared with classmates.

  The curtain on the 2008 US presidential election finally rose last month as Requblican Senator(参议员) John McCain and Democratic Senator Barack Obama were formally selected as candidates of the two major parties.This may be one of the hardest decisions voters have to make between two appealing candidates.The big question for voters,as they face both an economic downturn and international threats,is :who will they elect? A young first - term senator promising change and new ideas,or a longtime senator with strong military experience and a reputation as a maverick(特立独行的人)?
  American voters have never seen a candidate quite like Obama.He has a white mother from the US and a black fater from Kenya who left the family when Obama was very young.He spent part of his youth in Indonesia.
  However,McCain has a very different life story.
  He grew up in a Navy family and was a daring pilot during the Vietnam War in the 1960s. When Obama was in kindergarten in Indonesia,McCain"s plane was shot down over Ietenam and he became a prisoner of war.McCain could have been set free if he disowned America but he refused and so was held for five years.
  "We need a president who is very,very old,"McCain joked at his age as many others do.If elected,he would be 72 when he takes office and the oldest man to step in.
  So in the end,the election may depend on several factors that are hard to judge:Will Obama"s race matter to a significant number of voters ? Will workingclass whites who tended to support his primary (党内初选) oponent,Hillary Clinton,vote for Obama? And perhaps most important of all,will uncertain voters be more attracted to Obama"s vision or to McCain"s experience?
  Whatever happens,one thing is clear,however:Whoever walks into the White House on January 20,2009,will find huge challenges waiting for him in the Oval Office,both at home and abroad.
  64.______makes the result of the election hard to predict.
   A.Whether working class whites care about Obama"s inexperience
   B.The economic trouble the country now faces
   C.Who uncertain voters will finally decide to vote for
   D.McCain being too old to govern the country
  65.The appeal in Obama as a presidential candidate lies in _________
   A.his multi - cultural background
   B.his belife in tradition
   C.his inexperience in politics
   D.his fantastic promises
  66.The word "disown" in Paragraph 6 means closest to ______.
   A.flee from
   B.turn his back on
   C.not keep it private
   D.expose secrets about
  67.The challenges that will face the new preident______.
   A.are not mentioned in the text

阅读短文,从每题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中,选出最佳选项.
A
Years of storms had taken their toll on the old windmill(风车). Its wheel, rusted and fallen, lay silent in the lush bluegrass.
  I hadn‘t walked across our old farm in fifteen years. Fifteen years ago,rain or shine, I used to walk this path each day to see Greta. She always made me smile, even after my sister and I had just had a big quarrel. I would help Greta with her chores. Then we would enjoy her delicious homemade chocolate cookies and ice cream. Being confined to a wheel chair didn‘t stop Greta from being a great cook.
  Greta gave me two of the greatest gifts I‘ve ever received. First, she taught me how to read. She also taught me that when I forgave Sister for our quarrels, it meant I wouldn‘t keep feeling like a victim(受害者). Instead, I would feel sunny.
  Mr. Dinking, the local banker, tried to foreclose on Greta‘s house and land after her husband passed away. Thanks to Pa and Uncle Johan, Greta got to keep everything. Pa said that it was the least he could do for someone talented enough to teach me to read!
  Soon folks were coming from miles around to buy Greta‘s homemade cakes, pies, breads, cookies, cider, and ice cream. Greta even had me take a big apple pie to Mr. Dinking who became one of her best customers and friends. That‘s just what Greta was.  She could turn anyone into a friend!
  Greta always said, "Dear, keep walking in sunshine!" No matter how terrible my day started, I always felt sunny walking home from Greta‘s house---even beneath the winter starlight.
  I arrived at Greta‘s house today just after sunset. An ambulance had stopped a few feet from her door, its red lights flashing. When I ran into the old house, Greta recognized me right away.
  She smiled at me with her unforgettable twinkling blue eyes. She was almost out of breath when she reached out and softly touched my arm. Her last words to me were "Dear, keep walking in sunshine!"
