Passage Two

How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups 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 time 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 child — things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well known. But a child has his pains:He is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong. 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 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 room, 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,goes 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 wisdom 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, fell the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving everything to others.

66. 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 age D. Wish to be grown up

67. The word “they”underlined in Line 5, para. 2 refers to ____. A. Older people B. New things C. Children D. Interests

69. When a child becomes a grown-up, he is supposed to ____. A.live comfortably B. Take responsibilities C. Make progress in job D. Impress the society 70. The best title of the passage might be ____.

A. Pains and Ages B. Differences in Ages C. The Best Age to Be D. Happiness and Ages

Passage Three

Life really should be one long journey of joy for children 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 themselves.

Dr. Robert Coles, an internationally famous doctor, is the world’s 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. Obviously there are certain advantages to being rich,” says the 53-year-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 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 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.

71. According to the passage, children of rich families __________. A. enjoy traveling B. can buy love

C. usually commit suicide D. are not always happy 72. Dr. Robert Coles believes that __________. A. being rich has as many advantages as being poor B. rich children often get too little entertainment

B. Silver spoons can sometimes leave a bitter taste. C. Money can\

D. Rich children are often confused because they have so much to choose from. 74. The expression “silver spoons” in Paragraph 1 means __________. A. very expensive spoons B. rich people

C. wealth D. spoons made of silver

75. This article is written mainly to tell readers that __________. A. the rich are more likely to do away 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 money

Passage Four

Charlene, a 16-year-old student at a high school, found herself faced with a maths test 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 the test with her shoe, and left it lying on the floor. The teacher thought 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 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 Georgia, it was found that cheating was common among good and poor students alike——although 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 showing increased damage of public things and school stealing and think that reports, such as Watergate have disappointed youth about the honesty of people in higher positions.

Others think that today's youth are far more practical than their forefathers. 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.

76. 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 shoes on the test paper D. she did not want to fail in the math test 77. Charlene passed the test because ____. A. she answered all the questions by herself B. she did the test by cheating

C. she persuaded her teacher to give her a B

D. she returned to the classroom to redo the test

78. Which of the following is not an example to show that cheating is becoming more and more common?

A. A student pays another for doing a test paper.

B. A student writes down something to be tested before an exam. C. A student gets well prepared in his studies before an exam.

D. A student gets homework from his classmate and then copies it. 79. The 1978 study of cheating in Georgia shows that ____. A. only students in the 24 high schools cheated in examinations B. both good and poor students cheated in examinations C. boys liked cheating while girls did not like it

D. more girls cheated in examinations than boys did 80. One of the facts for the rise of cheating is that ____. A. more and more public things are damaged B. good values disappoint students

C. more and more students begin to steal D. honest people are in higher positions
