4．Parents and kids today dress alike，listen to the same music，and are friends．Is this a good thing？Sometimes，when Mr．Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter，Elizabeth，listen to rock music together and talk about interests they 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 the only gulf．From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations，earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits（軌道）．
Today，the generation gap has not disappeared，but it is getting narrow in many families．And parent-child activities，from shopping to sports，involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood．
But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents．"There's still a lot of strictness and authority（權(quán)威） 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，there is a lot of confusion among parents．"
Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these changing roles and attitudes．They see the 1960s as a turning point．Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic（民主的） process that encourages everyone to have a say．
"My parents were on the‘before'side of that change，but today's parents，the=40-year-olds，were on the‘a(chǎn)fter'side，"explains Mr．Ballmer．"It's not something easily achieved 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 parent now．"
52．The underlined word"gulf"in Para.3most probably meansA．
A．distance
B．interest  
C．similarity
D．cooperation
53．The change in today's parent-child relationship isC．
A．more confusion among children．
B．less respect for parents from children．
C．new equality between parents and children．
D．more strictness and authority on the part of parents．
54．By saying"today's parents，the 40-year-olds，were on the‘a(chǎn)fter'side．"the author means that today's parentsB．
A．can set a limit to the change．
B．follow the trend of the change．
C．fail to take the change seriously．
D．have little difficulty adjusting（適應(yīng)）to the change．
55．The purpose of the passage is toB．
A．describe the difficulties today's parents have met with．
B．discuss the development of the parent-child relationship．
C．suggest the ways to handle the parent-child relationship．
D．compare today's parent-child relationship with that in the past．

19．Micro-Enterprise Credit for Street Youth
Introduction
Although small-scale business training and credit programs have become more common throughout the world，relatively little attention has been paid to the need to direct such opportunities to youth living on the street or in difficult circumstances．Over the past years，Street Kids International （S．K．I．） has been working with partner organizations in Africa，Latin Africa and India to support the economic lives of street children．The purpose of this paper is to share some of the lessons S．K．I．a(chǎn)nd our partner organizations have learned．
Background
Typically，children end up on the streets not due to a single cause，but a combination of factors：the lack of adequately funded schools，the demand for income at home and so on．The street may be attractive to children as a place to find adventurous play and money．However，it is also a place where some children are exposed，with little or no protection，to exploitative employment，and urban crime．
Street Business Partnerships
S．K．I．has worked with partner organizations in Latin America，Africa and India to develop innovative opportunities for street children to earn income．
●The S．K．I Bicycle Courier Service first started in the Sudan．Participants in this enterprise were supplied with bicycles，which they used to deliver parcels and messages，but they were required to pay for it gradually from their wages．
●The Youth Skills Enterprise Initiative in Zambia is a joint program with the Red Cross Society．Street Youths are supported to start their own small business through business training，life skills training and access to credit．
Lessons Learned
The following lessons have emerged from the programs that S．K．I．a(chǎn)nd partner organizations have created．
●It's important for all loans to be linked to training programs that include the development of basic business and life skills．
●Small loans are provided initially for purchasing fixed assets such as bicycles，shoe shining kits．
●All S．K．I．programs have charged interest on the loans，primarily to get the business runners used to the concept of paying interest on borrowing money．Generally the rates have been modest．
Conclusion
There is a need to recognize the importance of access to credit for poor young people seeking to fulfill economic needs．
21．The organization，S．K．I．，aims toA．
A．give business training and loans to street children
B．provide schools and social support for street children
C．share the lessons S．K．I．learned to help street children
D．draw the attention of the government to street children
22．This passage implies that with the help of S．K．I．street children mayB．
A．reject paid employment 
B．set up their own business
C．leave their families
D．employ other children
23．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？C
A．The link of all loans to training programs is important．
B．Interest is charged for the loans in all S．K．I．programs．
C．The S．K．I Bicycle Courier Service provides the participants with free bicycles．
D．The Youth Skills Enterprise Initiative in Zambia works with another organization．

9．Fear can be a wonderful feeling in our lives，protecting us from dangerous situations and keeping us safe．But fear can also limit our lives significantly．While it may not be conscious，fear may make us think we are unacceptable or that what we have to offer isn't valuable．Fear may make us feel that we are not safe being ourselves．
To avoid feeling fear，we may limit our lives greatly，living in tiny boxes．Living this way gives us the illusion（假象） of safety but leaves us with an unfulfilling life of no passion．If we shine a light on many of our fears，we see they have a very limited view of what is"safe"and how to"protect"us．Many of our fears are concerned only with protecting us from humiliation（羞辱） and failure．While these fears are doing their jobs incredibly well，they are doing so with faulty and outdated programming．Many fears we have as adults are trying to protect us as they protected us when we were children．Indeed，many of our current，automatic reactions to fear were actually formed when we were children．
Even so，it's important not to judge ourselves for feeling these types of fears．If we judge ourselves，we will bury our fears or disguise them．By denying our fears，however，we also deny our energy，creativity and passion．
So what do we do with fear？We recognize the fear for what it is---a feeling we've experienced many times in the past and a feeling we will experience many times in the future．We become very familiar with our own particular brand of fears and how we allow them to control our lives．It is especially beneficial for each of us to become aware of the particular behavior patterns we've adopted when we feel fear，so we can look at our reactions with a sense of humor and compassion．Then，if we wish，we can choose a different response，which can be a scary yet very exciting experience．
5．According to the first paragraph，fear sometimesD．
A．protect us when we've made mistakes
B．makes sure our feelings are not hurt
C．brings great change to our everyday life
D．makes us lose confidence in ourselves
6．According to the author，the ways we react to fearB．
A．vary from person to person
B．have been formed since childhood
C．develop during our growth
D．will not change until we get old
7．The last paragraph mainly tells usC
A．what is the essence of fears
B．usual reactions we have when feeling fear
C．how to deal with fears reasonably
D．the importance of humor and compassion
8．What would be the best title for the passage？A
A．Is fear managing your life？
B．Be calm when feeling fear
C．What do you fear most？
D．Passion，chance and fear．

Big climate changes in the last million years might have come from something very small：dust from outer space．Earth changes between ice ages and warm periods in a （n）（36）C that includes several cycles，including a（37）H one that lasts 100，000years．Scientists（38）A suggested this cycle might be due to changes in the inflow of cosmic dust．
The idea is that Earth（39）E above and below the imaginary orbit that runs through the sun and Jupiter，completing a cycle every 100，000years．So maybe it（40）G meets amounts of dust during each cycle that produce the climate trend．
Now there is some（41）J，from ancient cosmic dust near the Azores islands west of Portugal．The large quantity of the dust rises and falls with a wonderful 100，000year cycle during the period 253，000years to 458，000years ago．Periods of more dust are related to（42）F climates．
But that is a long way from showing that the dust（43）B climate．Some scientists argue that it is not clear how cosmic dust would make the climate warmer while dust from volcanoes is known to make it cooler．They say the cosmic dust is so thin that it is hard to see how it could have any climate（44）I．
