27、ohnstone Strait, where killer whales are found on a daily basis each summer. It is strongly recommended that vessel (船只) operators follow these guidelines for all kinds of whales. Approach whales from the side, not from the front or the back. Approach no closer than 100 metres, then stop the boat bu
28、t keep the engine on. Keep noise levels down no horns, whistles or racing of engines. Start your boat only after the whales are more than 100 metres from your vessel. Leave the area slowly, gradually moving faster when you are more than 300 metres from the whales. Approach and leave slowly, avoiding
29、 sudden changes in speed or direction. Avoid disturbing groups of resting whales. Keep at low speeds and remain in the same direction if traveling side by side with whales. When whales are traveling close to shore, avoid crowding them near the shore or coming between the whales and the shore. Limit
30、the time spent with any group of whales to less than 30 minutes at a - 8 -time when within 100 to 200 metres of whales. If there is more than one vessel at the same observation spot, be sure to avoid any boat position that would result in surrounding the whales. Work together by communicating with o

Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk ab
33、out 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 do you like it? says Ballmer. “There was just a complete gap in taste.”Music was not th
34、e 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 wo
35、uld 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.”- 9 -But f
36、amily experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents. “Theres still a lot of 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, ther
37、e 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 w
38、ere on the before side of that change, but todays parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the after side,” explains Mr. Ballmer, “Its 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 par

41、t-child relationshipCPeople have speculated（思索） for centuries about a future without work. Some imagine that the coming work-free world will be defined (定义) by inequality: A few wealthy people will own all the capital, and the masses will struggle in a - 10 -wasteland. A different prediction holds t
42、hat without jobs to give their lives meaning, future people will simply become lazy and depressed.But it doesnt necessarily follow from findings like these that a world without work would be filled with dissatisfaction. Such visions are based on the downsides of being unemployed in a society built o
43、n the concept of employment. In the absence of work, a society designed with other ends in mind could provide strikingly different circumstances for the future of labor and leisure.These days, spare time is relatively rare for most workers. “When I come home from a hard days work, I often feel tired
44、,” says John Danaher, a lecturer at the National University of Ireland, adding, “In a world in which I dont have to work, I might feel rather different”perhaps different enough to throw himself into a hobby with the enthusiasm usually reserved for professional matters.Daniel Everett, an anthropologi
45、st（人类学家）at Bentley University studied a group of hunter-gathers in the Amazon called the Piraha for years. According to Everett, while some might consider hunting and gathering work, hunter-gatherers dont. “They think of it as fun,” he says. “They dont have a concept of work the way we do.”Everett d
46、escribed a typical day for the Piraha: A man might get up, spend a few hours fishing, have a barbecue, and play until the evening.Does this relaxing life lead to the depression and purposelessness seen among so many of todays unemployed? “Ive never seen anything like depression there, except people
47、who are physically ill,” Everett says. While many may consider work necessary for human life, work as itexists today is a relatively new invention in the course of human culture. “We think its bad tojust sit around with nothing to do,” says Everett. “For the Piraha, its quite a desirable state.” 61. Which of the following can describe peoples predictions about the work-free world?- 11 -A. Optimistic. B. Negative. C. Accurate. D. Alarming.62. What does the underlined word “downsides” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Risks. B .Reasons. C. Challeng
