32、s. Because of that surprising advantage, Rome plans to commercialize both electric and non-electric versions of the backpack.

33、g backpacks could make it possible to walk, play video games, watch TV, and listen to music, all at the same time.

39、糊不清 ) in todays world. Consider some recent developments: The child-murderers in the Jonesboro, Ark. schoolyard shooting case were convicted and sentenced. Two boys, 7 and 8, were charged in the murder of an 11 year old girl in Chicago. Children who commit horrible crimes appear to act of their own

40、will. Yet, as legal proceedings in Jonesboro showed, the one boy who was able to address the court couldnt begin to explain his acts, though he tried to apologize. There may have been a motive-youthful jealousy(妒忌 ) and resentment. But a deeper question remains: Why did these boys and others in simi

They wanted the girls bicycle, a selfish impulse common enough among kids. Redemption (拯救 ) is a practical necessity. How can value be restored to young lives distorted by acts

So do youth organizations. So do law enforcement agencies, which can do more to inform the young about laws, their meaning,

45、and their observance (遵守 ). The goal, ultimately, is to allow all children a normal passage from childhood to adulthood (成年 ), so that tragic gaps in moral judgement are less likely to occur. The relative few who fill such gaps with acts of violence hint at many others who dont go that far, but who

46、lack the moral foundations childhood should provide-and which progressive human society relies on. 36 The two boys in Chicago were （ A） shot （ B） murdered （ C） sentenced （ D） accused 37 Thy boys in Jonesboro and Chicago apparently lacked a sense of （ A） discipline （ B） right and wrong （ C） shame （ D

49、aws. （ D） Parents should strengthen moral instruction. 40 Problems of the Elderly Gerontologists (老年人问题学者 ) study how old people are treated within a society and how the elderly deal with the inevitable problems of aging, particularly those involving health and income.
