Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. When a person does a certain thing again, he is driven by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly, then a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. It is therefore so important that we should pay great attention to the formation of habits. Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits lasting as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by bad habits.

There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help. Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and so on.

Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. These are all easily formed habits. Unfortunately older persons often form habits which could have been avoided.

We should keep away from all these bad habits, and try to form such habits as will be good for ourselves and others.

60.          are formed little by little.

A. Only good habits                         B. Only bad habits

   C. Both good habits and bad habits     D. Either good habits or bad habits

61. The underlined word “them” in the first paragraph refers to         .

  A. bad habits        B. good habits    C. children     D. other persons

62. Why should we pay much attention to the formation of habits?

   A. Because habits are of great help to every one of us.

   B. Because a man can never get rid of a habit.

   C. Because it’s hard and sometimes even impossible to throw away bad habits.

   D. Because we are forced to do them again and again.

63. According to the passage, early rising          .

   A. has something to do with success            B. is an easily formed habit

   C. is such a habit as should have been avoided D. is such a beneficial habit as will be kept

Play is the basic business of childhood, and in recent years research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being. From earliest infancy (嬰兒), every child needs opportunity and right materials for play, and the main tools of play are toys. The main function of toys is to suggest, encourage and play. To succeed in this, they must be good toys, which children will play with often, and will come back again and again. Therefore, it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child’s development.

In recent years research on infant development has shown that the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited abilities, is largely determined in the first three years of his life. So a baby’s ability to benefit from the right play materials should not be underestimated. A baby who is encouraged, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully.

In the next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds. Every type of suitable toys should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability: Bricks and jigsaws and construction toys; painting, scribbling and making things; sand and water play; toys for imaginative and pretending play—the first social games for learning to play and get on with others.

But at the third stage of play development—from five to seven or eight years old— the child is at school. But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school. It is easier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys.

Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same to a child. But once reading has been mastered, then books become the main source of learning. Toys are still interesting and valuable, which lead up to new hobbies, but their significance has changed to a child of nine or ten years old, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun.

49. According to the first passage we know that as a child grows up ______.

   A. he should be allowed to choose his own toys.

   B. he should be given the same toys.

   C. he should be given fewer and fewer toys. 

   D. he should be given different toys.

50. According to the passage, the abilities a child has inherited from his parents ______.

   A. determine his character

   B. will not change after the age of three.

   C. partly determined the standard he is likely to reach

   D. to a large extent determine the choice of toys 

51. We learn from the passage that a child has boundless curiosity ______.

   A. when he is two                    B. when he is around four

   C. when he is six                     D. when he is eight

52. The passage is mainly about _______.

A. the role of play in a child’s development

B. the importance of schooling

C. the importance of pre-school education

D. the choice of toys for youngster

Family quarrels and lack of free time can promote headaches in children. This is what Jennifer Gassmann and her partners have concluded in a study that appears in the current issue of the Deutsches Arzteblatt International. This study was a component of a large-scale study entitled “Children, Adolescents, and Headaches”, in which data were collected in four annual “waves” from 2003 to 2006.

   Up to 30% of children around the world complain of headaches at least once a week. Out of a variety of possible factors tested in a larger study, the authors chose to look at the ones related to the children’s family and leisure time.

   According to the study, boys who experience more than one family quarrel per week have a 1.8 times higher risk of developing headaches. The amount of free time available to them seems to be even more important: boys who seldom have time to themselves have a 2.1 times higher risk of developing headaches.

   The behavior of parents when children complain of headaches also seems to play a major role. Both positive and negative responses from parents teach children that they can gain advantages from headaches. These responses have a particularly strong effect on the frequency of symptoms in girls, with supportive responses raising the risk of recurrent(周期性的) headaches by 25%.

   The genders also differed with respect to headache frequency. Twice as many girls as boys had their symptoms at least once a week. The ages of the children, however, seemed to have no more than a minor effect on their headaches.

   The study may become a reminder for parents, especially for those unpeaceful families.

68. What is the passage mainly about?

   A. How family quarrels and lack of free time can promote headaches in children.

   B. A new study on the frequency of headaches in children.

   C. Factors which lead to children’s having headaches.

   D. Advice for parents wanting to keep their children from having headaches.

69. We learn from the study that ______________.

   A. most children have headaches at least once a week

   B. the way a family behaves is the chief factor for the headaches of children

   C. parents are to blame for the increase in headaches in children

   D. girls are more likely to get headache symptoms than boys

70. Parents should learn from the passage that ______________.

   A. they should spend more time with their children

   B. they should avoid quarreling

   C. they shouldn’t care when their children have headaches

   D. they should treat boys and girls differently

I hear many parents complain that their teenage children are rebelling (叛逆). I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of starting acting independently, most of them are holding one another's hands for reassurance (放心).

They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But they all end up listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (繭) into a larger cocoon.

It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly developed a market for teenagers. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. This is a great roadblock for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.

But the roadblock is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come—with the people who respect you for who you are. That's the only kind of popularity that is really important.

63. The author's purpose in writing this passage is to tell______.

   A. readers how to be popular with people around

   B. teenagers how to learn to make a decision for themselves

C. parents how to control and guide their children

D. people how to understand and respect each other

64. According to the author, many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but in fact most of them______.

   A. have much difficulty understanding each other

   B. lack confidence

   C. dare not deal with any problems alone

D. are very much afraid of getting lost

65. The author thinks of advertisements as ______to teenagers.

   A. instructive      B. attractive    C. beneficial       D. influential 

66. The main idea of the last paragraph is that a teenager should______.

   A. differ from others in as many ways as possible

   B. become popular with others

   C. find his real self

D. rebel against his parents and the popularity wave

Cheating is nothing new. But today, educators are finding that academic dishonesty on the part of students has become more frequent and they are less likely to be punished than in the past. Cheating appears to have gained acceptance among good and poor students.

       Why is student cheating on the rise? No one really knows. Some blame that today’s youth are far more practical. In the late sixties and early seventies, students were filled with visions about changing the world, while today’s students feel great pressure to obey and succeed. In interviews with students at high schools and colleges around the country, both young men and women said that cheating had become easy. Some suggested they did it due to the teachers they did not respect. Others looked at it as a game. Only if they were caught, some said, would they feel guilty. “People are competitive,” said a second-year college student named Anna, from Chicago. There’s an inner fear. If you don’t do well, your life is going to be ruined. The pressure is not only from parents and friends but from yourself. To achieve, to succeed. It’s almost as though we have to outdo (勝過(guò)) other people to achieve our own goals.

       Edward Wynne, editor of a magazine blames the rise in academic dishonesty on the schools. He claims that teachers have been too hesitant to take action. Dwight Huber, chairman of the English department at Amarillo sees the matter differently, blaming the rise in cheating on the way students are evaluated (評(píng)價(jià)). “I would cheat if I felt I was being cheated,” Mr. Huber said. He feels that as long as teachers give short-answer tests rather than essay questions and evaluate students by the number of facts they can memorize rather than by how well they can combine information, students will try to beat the system. “The concept of cheating is based on the false assumption that the system is legitimate (合法的) and there is something wrong with the individual who’s doing it,” he said, “That’s too easy an answer. We’ve got to start looking at the system.”

67.   Educators are finding that students who cheat         .

       A. have poor academic records

       B. use the information in later years

       C. can be academically weak or strong 

       D. are more likely to be punished than before     

68.   Today’s youth are described as more practical because         .

       A. they think more of themselves 

       B. they don’t have a global vision

       C. the time of ideal has passed     

       D. they cheat more than before

69.   According to the passage, youth cheat because of         .

       A. the easiness to test

       B. the eagerness to succeed

C. their fear of competition  

       D. no possibility to be punished

70.   What does “the system” (Paragraph 3) refer to?

       A. The education system.            

       B. The school system.

       C. The system by which students are evaluated.

       D. The system by which schools punish cheating.
