C. in 1998, I shared a house with two young Americans,
15、Jim and Steve. Jim was studying French and Steve Chinese, both at the Foreign Service Institute. We shared many things in common, but we also thought and acted quite differently. Steve was interested in speaking Chinese. He always tried every opportunity to talk with me with his very English-like pr
16、onunciation. I was often touched by his diligence. However, I wanted to practice English with him, too. So we often spoke at the same time in the other s mother tongue. Jim was fresh from college and the youngest of the three. He was going out all the time. The only time we met was at breakfast. The
17、re was a small round table in our kitchen, where we sat around to enjoy our food. Steve had Chinese fast food such as dumplings or noodles, and I ate bread and boiled eggs. But Jim often just drank a cup of tea because he had nothing in his fridge. He was too busy dating pretty French girls to do an
18、y shopping. I often offered him some of my food. But Steve told me in his poor Chinese that I didn t need to do that. He said that it was Jim s own fault and that it served him right. Although he was learning Chinese, he still held his American sense of values.Two years later, I returned to China. T
19、he three of us still keep in touch, Jim how works in a travel agency in Paris. He got married to one of the pretty girls. He wrote to tell us that he can now enjoy a delicious breakfast with his beautiful wife every morning in their comfortable living room. Steve wants to work in China. And I m help
20、ing him with this. I have introduced him to the dean of the Oversea Section of our university. He is very interested in Steve. He wants to know if Steve can work here teaching the oversea students Chinese. I have sent the message to Steve. I m sure he d be very happy to accept the job. However, I ho
21、pe he could try harder to improve himself.

25、ds still keep in touch45 How often one hears children wishing they were grown-up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a t
26、ime when there are few responsibilities. If a child has good parents, he is well fed, looked after and loved. It is unlikely that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the childthings that have lo
27、st their interest for older people because they are too well known. A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain, or in the snow. His first visit to the seaside is a marvelous adventure. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do as what he wishes to do: he is continually being told what to
28、 do and what not to do. Therefore, a child is not happy as he wishes to be.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he becomes free from the discipline of school and parents: but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities. With no one to pay for his food, his clothes, or his r
29、oom, he has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may get himself into trouble. If, however, he works hard, go
30、es by the law and has good health, he may feel satisfied in seeing himself make steady progress in his job and in building up for himself his own position in society.Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be, but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age comes wisdo
31、m and the ability to help others with advice wisely given. The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life, they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them: and, perhaps best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, feel the happiness of having come
32、through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving everything to others.46 The happiest people should be those who_.（A）face up to difficulties in life（B） hope to be young again（C） enjoy life in different ages（D）wish to grow up47 The underlined wor
33、d “they “ in Para. 2 refers to_.（A）older people（B） new things（C） children（D）interests48 A child has his pains because_.（A）he can not do whatever he wants to（B） he is not allowed to play in rain（C） he has a lot of new things to learn（D）he can not play at the seaside freely49 When a child becomes a gr
34、own-up, he is supposed to_.（A）live comfortably（B） take responsibilities（C） make progress in job（D）impress the society50 The best tide of the passage might be_.（A）Pains and Ages（B） Differences in Ages（C） The Best Age to Be（D）Happiness and Ages50 Life really should be one long journey of joy for child
35、ren who are born with a world of wealth at their tiny feet. But experts on psychological research now believe that silver spoons can leave a bitter taste. If suicide statistics are a sign of happiness, then the rich are a miserable lot. Figures show that it is the rich who most often do away with th
36、emselves.Dr. Robert Coles, an internationally famous doctor, is the worlds top expert on the influence of money on children. He has written a well-received book on the subject. The Privileged Ones, and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little. “Ob
37、viously there are certain advantages to being rich,“ says the 53year-old doctor, “such as better health, education and future work expectation, but most important is the quality of family life. Money can t buy love. “It can buy a lot of other things, though, and that s where the trouble starts. Rich
38、 kids have so much to choose from that they often become confused. Their parents over favoring can make them spoiled. They tend to travel more than other children, from home to home and country to country, which often makes them feel restless.“But privileged children do have a better sense of their
39、positions in the world,“ adds Mr. Coles, “and they are more self-assured. “Today s rich parents perhaps have realized that their riches can be more of a burden than a favor to their children. So their priority is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.51 According to
40、the passage, children of rich families_.（A）enjoy traveling（B） can buy love（C） usually commit suicide（D）are not always happy52 Dr. Robert Coles believes that_.（A）being rich has as many advantages as being poor（B） rich children often get too little entertainment（C） rich children sometimes cant enjoy t
41、he thing they are most in need of（D）rich children aren t given enough things53 Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?（A）It is love that is always lacking in rich and poor families alike.（B） Silver spoons can sometimes leave a bitter taste.（C） Money can t buy everythi
42、ng.（D）Rich children are often confused because they have so much to choose from.54 The expression “silver spoons“ in Paragraph 1 means_.（A）very expensive spoons（B） rich people（C） wealth（D）spoons made of silver55 This article is written mainly to tell readers that_.（A）the rich are more likely to do a
43、way with themselves（B） money can bring a lot of things, including love（C） life is always happy for children of rich parents（D）rich parents should realize what is important in the family is love rather than money55 Charlene, a 16-year-old student at a high school, found herself faced with a maths tes
44、t to which she knew none of the answers. Rather than fail, she took the test out with her and filled in the answers with the help of her friends. During a break, she got back into the classroom without being seen, crumpled(揉皱 ) the test with her shoe, and left it lying on the floor. The teacher thou
45、ght it had been dropped when the tests were collected: she corrected it, and Charlene received a B.Cheating is, of course, nothing new. But today, educators are finding that cheating on the part of students has become more frequent than in the past. Whether it is copying a friend s homework, using a
46、 prepared sheet on an exam, stealing advance copies of a final, writing down rules in one s hand, or paying someone else to write a term paper, cheating appears to have gained acceptance among a growing number of students between 13 and 19.In a 1978 study of cheating at twenty-two high schools in Ge
47、orgia, it was found that cheating was common among good and poor students alikealthough both boys and girls said they thought boys cheated more.Why is student cheating on the rise? No one really knows. Some blame cheating on a general loss of good values among today s youth. They point to facts show
48、ing increased damage of public things and school stealing and think that reports, such as Watergate (水门事件), have disappointed youth about the honesty of people in higher position.Others think that today s youth are far more practical than their forefathers(先辈). In the late sixties and early seventies, students were filled with imaginations about changing the world, but today s students feel great stress to succeed.56 According to Paragraph 1, Charlene took the test out because_.（A）her friends could answer none of the problems（B） she tore the test paper to pieces（C） she stepped her sh
