Recently Cathy Hagner sadly finds that life for her and her three children is set to permanent(永久的)fast-forward.

Their full school day and her job as a lawyer's assistant are busy enough. But Hanger also has to take the two boys to soccer or hockey or basketball while dropping off her daughter at piano lessons or Girl Scout Club.

Often, the exhausted family doesn't get home until 7 pm. There is just time for a quick supper before homework. In today's world, middle-class American and British parents treat their children as if they are competitors racing for some finishing line.

Parents take their children from activity to activity in order to make their future bright. It seems that raising a genius has become a more important goal than raising a happy and well-balanced child.

“Doctors across the country are reporting a growing number of children suffering from stomachaches and headaches due to exhaustion and stress,” says child expert William Doherty of the University of Minnesota.

Teachers are dealing with exhausted kids in the classroom. It's a very serious problem. Many children attend after-school clubs by necessity. But competitive pressures also create an explosion of activities. They include sports, language, music and math classes for children as young as four.

“There is a new parenting trend under way which says that you have to tap all your child’s potential at a young age; otherwise you will let him down,” says Terry Apter, a Cambridge-based child and adolescent psychiatrist(青少年精神病專家).

“It isn't entirely new: there have always been pushy parents. But what was previously seen as strange behavior is now well accepted.”

1.From the second paragraph of this passage we can find that _______.

A. Hagner busies herself by following a trend

B. Hagner doesn't spend much time on her full-time job

C. Hagner is interested in sports and music

D. Hagner wastes much time helping her children's lessons

2.British parents, as the writer described in this passage, _______.

A. treat their children as sports players

B. give their children little time to develop freely

C. bring up their children in a simple way

D. pay no attention to their children's lessons

3.The writer's opinion about after-school clubs is that ________.

A. activities in the country are too competitive

B. children should attend four clubs at a time

C. clubs should have more subjects for school children

D. some clubs result in competitive pressures

4.The last paragraph tells us that in Britain _______.

A. parents used to take their children to every club

B. parents have all benefited from children’s clubs

C. parents used to be wise on how to raise children

D. parents have come to know the standard of education

Sicily, an island of Italy, is home to beautiful beaches, outstanding food, and a bit of Italian history on every corner. It’s located just southwest of the Italian mainland and it’s the largest Mediterranean island. Controlled by many armies over the centuries, it became the site of Roman and Greek colonies(殖民地). Those cultures remain to this day.

As part of the Year of Italy in China, an exhibition of Sicilian culture is being held at the National Museum of China from April 29 to June 27. Although they have a rich culture and history, Sicilian people lead a simple life. Living on land with fertile (肥沃的) soil, most of them work in agriculture, fishing and of course tourism.

In Sicily, most stores and businesses are closed from one to four in the afternoon. Streets become crowded around five as people start to go out and engage in a variety of activities. They may take a walk to the shops, enjoy a pastry (糕點)or just meet up with friends.

Food is one of the great pleasures of Sicilian people. There is an old Sicilian saying: “With a contented stomach, your heart is forgiving. With an empty stomach you forgive nothing.”

People will go miles out their way to eat fresh seafood, such as tuna(金槍魚), swordfish(箭魚) and sardines(沙丁魚).

Pasta (意大利面)is the main food. Each region has its seasonal pasta dishes, and every family cook their own specialty. Bread is common too. As another Sicilian saying goes, “A table without bread is like a day without sunshine.” In Sicily, bread is always freshly baked or bought, and usually twice a day.

1.What can be learned from the passage?

A. Sicily is the only island in Italy.

B. It is easy to do shopping in the afternoon.

C. Sicily was controlled by several countries.

D. Sicilian people seldom take part in activities.

2.The local people work in several fields EXCEPT .

A. fishing B. mining C. tourism D. agriculture

3.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph is used to show .

A. bread is a must for Sicilians

B. food is a great pleasure for them

C. bread should be cooked every day

D. Sicilians have nothing to eat but bread

4.The best title of this passage might be______.

Over 500 dogs being delivered to a butcher house were saved by a Chinese animal protection organization.

The incident then triggered debate among Chinese netizens about the necessity of pouring so much money and efforts into saving dogs.

On Friday, a truck loaded with over 500 dogs were stopped by volunteers from animal protection organization on Jingha Expressway Beijing section.

Beijing Times reported these dogs were being delivered to slaughter houses in the city of Changchun, northeast Jilin Province and would be eventually served on dinner tables.

After negotiations with the truck driver, pet service provider Leepet Holding Corp.and a philanthropic foundation, Shang shan Foundation purchased these dogs, each paying 50,000 yuan.Dogs were then delivered to the headquarter of China Small Animal Protection Association (CSAPA), being taken care of and waiting for adoption.

After the “dog saving mission” was reported, Chinese net users debate over whether saving dogs worth so much efforts and money while there are still many poor and needy people in China lacking assistance.

Some net users argue the “dog saving mission” is placing overt attention to animals while lots of needy people are still left unattended.

A microblogger “Xiaowulaitajie” said on China's twitter­ like website, weibo.com, “Dogs are saved, adopted and they attracted media spotlight. We'd better spend such money and take such efforts in helping the needy people.”

Another microblogger, Liluping, said “We poured such huge sum of money into saving dogs.I would rather the money be spent on disaster relief.”

Some applaud volunteers'actions and show eagerness of offering their helping hands to those saved dogs.

Still many disapprove those “saving dogs” critics, but they argue that such act nonetheless promotes social progress.

A microblogger named “broken bridge” said, saving dogs does not run counter to taking care of people.Such enthusiasm in public affairs will help raise social awareness in helping the needy.

I think people and animals are created equal.Attention should be paid to people as well as animals.

1.Where did the article come from?

A.A storybook. B.A novel.

C.Internet. D.A magazine.

2.Which one has the similar meaning to the underlined phrase “run counter

to” in the last but one paragraph？

C.agree with D.come across

3.Whose opinion is closest to the writer's?

A.Some net users'. B.Broken bridge's.
