　　On average, American kids ages 3 to 12 spent 29 hours a week in school, eight hours more than they did in 1981．They also did more household work and participated in more of such organized activities as soccer and ballet(芭蕾舞)．Involvement in sports, in particular, rose almost 50％ from 1981 to 1997：boys now spend an average of four hours a week playing sports; girls log half that time．All in all, however, children’s leisure time dropped from 40％ of the day in 1981 to 25％．

　　“Children are affected by the same time crunch(危機(jī))that affects their parents, ” says Sandra Hofferth, who headed the recent study of children’s timetable．A chief reason, she says, is that more mothers are working outside the home．Nevertheless, children in both double-income and “male breadwinner” households spent comparable amounts of time interacting with their parents, 19 hours and 22 hours respectively．In contrast, children spent only 9 hours with their single mothers．

　　All work and no play could make for some very messed-up kids．“Play is the most powerful way a child explores the world and learns about himself, ” says T．Berry Brazelton, professor at Harvard Medical School．Unstructured play encourages independent thinking and allows the young to negotiate their relationships with their peers, but kids ages 3 to 12 spent only 12 hours a week engaged in it．

　　The children sampled spent a quarter of their rapidly decreasing “free time” watching television．But that, believe it or not, was one of the findings parents might regard as good news．If they’re spending less time in front of the TV set, however, kids aren’t replacing it with reading．Despite efforts to get kids more interested in books, the children spent just over an hour a week reading．Let’s face it, Who’s got the time?

(1)

By mentioning “the same time crunch”(Line 1, Para．2)Sandra Hofferth means ________．

[　　]

A．

children have little time to play with their parents

children are not taken good care of by their working parents

C．

both parents and children suffer from lack of leisure time

D．

both parents and children have trouble managing their time

(2)

According to the author, the reason given by Sandra Hofferth for the time crunch is ________．

[　　]

A．

quite convincing

B．

partially true

C．

totally groundless

D．

rather confusing

(3)

The author is concerned about the fact that American kids ________．

[　　]

A．

are engaged in more and more structured activities

B．

are increasingly neglected by their working mothers

C．

are spending more and more time watching TV

D．

Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family，and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck.I’m not going to say luck，talent，and circumstances don’t come into play because they do.Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence，and that’s just the reality of how life is.

However，to succeed in life，one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.And，in addition to that，in order to get really good at something，one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising.To become great at certain things，it’ll require even more time，time that most people won’t put in.

This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love.If you don’t enjoy what you do，it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.

When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success，you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent，but thinking that way does you no good，and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.

Whatever you do，if you want to become great at it，you need to work day in and day out，almost to the point of addiction，and over a long period of time.If you’re not willing to put in the time and work，don’t expect to receive any rewards.Consistent，hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want，but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.

D

　Stonehenge（巨石陣）may have been a prehistoric health center rather than a site for observing stars or a temple in honor of the dead, scientists said yesterday. New evidence unearthed at the World Heritage Site in more than 40 years suggests that the monument was a place where the diseased and injured went in groups, seeking cures.

After a two-week dig, scientists have concluded that Stonehenge was “the ancient healthcare centre of southern England” because of the existence of “bluestones”---the smaller columns of dolerite（輝綠巖）that formed an earlier stone structure.

By dating pieces of remains to around 7330BC, Tim Darvill, of Bournemouth University, and Goff Wainwright, of the Society of Amtiquaries have found that hunter-gatherers were at the site on Salisbury Plain 4,000 years earlier than thought. The first stage of Stonehenge, a round earthwork structure, was built around 3000BC. Professor Wainwright added: “I did not expect the degree of complexity we discovered. We’re able to say so much more about when Stonehenge was built and why---all of which changes our previous understanding of the monument.”

The research reveals the importance of the henge’s famous bluestones. Hundreds of bluestone chips gathered at the site have led the team to conclude that the bluestones were valued for their curing effects---the key reason that about 80 of them, each weighing up to 4 tons and a half, were dragged more than 150 miles from the Preseli Hills to Wiltshire. After years of research, Professors Darvill and Wainwright have concluded that, for thousands of years, the Preseli mountain range was home to magical health centers and holy wells.

Even today there are those who believe in the curing powers of the springs for coughs and heart disease, and people who use crystals and bluestones for self-curing. Radiocarbon tests have also revealed that the construction of the original bluestone circle took place around 2300BC, three centuries later than originally thought. Interestingly, on the same day died the “Amesbury Archer”---a sick traveler from the Swiss or German Alps who had an infected knee---whose remains were discovered about five miles from Stonehenge. The professors believe that he was a devoted religious person who was hoping to benefit from the curing powers of the monument.

63．Stonehenge is recently believed to be a place for people           .

A．to recover from poor health    B．to observe star movements

C．to hold religious ceremonies   D．to gather huge bluestones

64．What can be inferred about Stonehenge from the passage?

A．The springs could cure coughs and heart disease best.

B．The new discovery was the same as what had been expected.

C．Some huge bluestones were not produced at Stonehenge.

D．The original bluestone circle was thought to be constructed around 2000BC.

65．The sick traveler in the passage is supposed to be           .

A．a(chǎn) devoted religious person from Stonehenge

B．one of the earliest discoverers of Stonehenge

C．the first explorer to test the magical power of bluestones

D．a(chǎn) patient trying to cure his infection at Stonehenge

66．Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

A．Stonehenge: A New Place of Interest     B．Stonehenge: Still Making News

C．Stonehenge: Heaven for Adventurers     D．Stonehenge: Still Curing Patients

Susan Sontag (1933-2004) was one of the most noticeable figures in the world of literature. For more than 40 years she made it morally necessary to know everything － to read every book worth reading, to see every movie worth seeing. When she was still in her early 30s, publishing essays in such important magazines as Partisan Review, she appeared as the symbol of American cultural life, trying hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art. With great effort and serious judgment, Sontag walked at the latest edges of world culture.

Seriousness was one of Sontag’s lifelong watchwords (格言), but at a time when the barriers between the well-educated and the poor-educated were obvious, she argued for a true openness to the pleasure of pop culture. In “Notes on Camp”, the 1964 essay that first made her name, she explained what was then a little-known set of difficult understandings, through which she could not have been more famous. “Notes on Camp”, she wrote, represents “a victory of ‘form’ over ‘content’, ‘beauty’ over ‘morals’”.

By conviction (信念) she was a sensualist (感覺論者), but by nature she was a moralist (倫理學(xué)者), and in the works she published in the 1970s and 1980s, it was the latter side of her that came forward. In Illness as Metaphor － published in 1978, after she suffered cancer － she argued against the idea that caner was somehow a special problem of repressed personalities (被壓抑的個(gè)性), a concept that effectively blamed the victim for the disease. In fact, re-examining old positions was her lifelong habit.

In America, her story of a 19th century Polish actress who set up a perfect society in California, won the National Book Award in 2000. But it was as a tireless, all-purpose cultural view that she made her lasting fame. “Sometimes,” she once said, “I feel that, in the end, all I am really defending … Is the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness.” And in the end, she made us take it seriously too.

1.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 means Sontag __________.

A. was a symbol of American cultural life

D. kept pace with the newest development of world culture

A. was a sensualist as well as a moralist

B. looked down upon the pop culture

C. thought content was more important than form

D. blamed the victim of cancer for being repressed

4.As for Susan Sontag’s lifelong habit, she __________.

A. misunderstood the idea of seriousness

B. re-examined old positions

C. argued for an openness to pop culture

D. preferred morals to beauty

5.Susan Sontag’s lasting fame was made upon __________.

A. a tireless, all-purpose cultural view
