China news, Beijing, Feb. 9 – Housing price in China has always aroused heated discussions among property developers and ordinary Chinese. To many property developers and local government officials, housing price in China is still low compared with many developed countries. However, the average housing price in the United States is only 8,000 yuan per square meter, while in China, it is even higher than in the United States. This shows that there are some bubbles(泡沫) in Chinese real estate (房地產(chǎn)) market, the International Finance News reported.

       Although the average price of residential houses in the United States, after converted to Renminbi, is about 8,000 yuan per square meter, the houses in US are not sold in terms of building area, as most Chinese property developers do when they sell their houses. If US property developers sell their houses according to the building area, then the housing price will be even lower than 8,000 yuan per square meter. In most big Chinese cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, houses are sold at a price even higher than those in the US.

       The high housing sales price in large cities in China proves that Chinese real estate market does have some bubbles. Moreover, Chinese houses can not be compared with houses in US in terms of building quality, environment and supporting facilities. Furthermore, it should be noted that American people’s average income is several dozen times higher than that of Chinese people. How can the Chinese afford to buy a house which is even more expensive than that sold in US?

       At the beginning of 2007, Chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public. Now in order to reduce the high housing prices, the government can regulate (控制) the real estate market by raising tax on property industry and controlling the release of loans and lands to property developers. At the same time, the government should allow people to build more houses through various fund-raising channels, such as funds collected from buyers or raised by working units. By applying these multiple means, it is expected that the high housing prices can be lowered.

56．Which of the following does NOT support the idea that the average housing price in China is        even higher than in the United States?

       A．Chinese houses can not be compared with houses in US in terms of building quality, environment and supporting facilities.

       B．American people’s average income is several dozen times higher than that of Chinese        people.

       C．The houses in US are not sold in terms of building area, as most Chinese property        developers do when they sell their houses

       D．There are more people who need houses in China than in the United States.

57．What is the main idea of this passage?

       A．The Chinese government should do something to control the housing price.

       B．There are some bubbles in Chinese real estate market.

       C．The average housing price in China is even higher than in the United States.

       D．The Chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public.

58．How many measures are mentioned in the last paragraph in order to reduce the high housing prices?    A．Four      B．Three       C．Five  D．Two

    The questions of what children learn, and how they should learn it, is continually being debated and reheated. Nobody dares any longer to defend the old system, the parrot – fashion (way of learning by repeating what others say) of learning lessons, the grammar with a whip system，which was good enough for our grandparents．The theories of modern psychology have stepped into argue that we must understand the needs of children．Children are not just small adults；they are children who must be respected as such．

Well，you may say，this is as it should be，and a good idea．But think further．What happens?

‘Education’ becomes the responsibility not of teachers, but of psychologists．What happens then? Teachers worry too much about the psychological implications of their lessons，and forget about the subjects themselves．If a child dislikes a lesson，the teacher feels that it is his fault，not the child’s. So teachers worry whether history is ‘relevant’ to modem young children．And do they dare to recount stories about violent battles? Or will this make the children themselves violent? Can they tell their classes about children of different races，or will this encourage racial hatred? Why teach children to write grammatical sentences? Verbal expression is better．Sums? Arithmetic? No：real—life mathematical situations are more understandable．

    You see．you can go too far．Influenced by educational theorists，who have nothing better to do than write books about their ideas，teachers leave their teacher—training colleges filled with grand，psychological ideas about children and their needs. They make complicated preparations and try out their ‘modern methods’ on the long – suffering children. Since one ‘modern method’ rapidly replaces another, the poor kids will have well been fed up by the time they leave school. frequently the modern methods are so complicated that they fail to be understood by the teachers, let alone the children; even more often, the relaxed discipline so necessary for the ‘informal’ feeling the class must have, prevents all but a handful of children from learning anything.

63．Under the old system, children were           .

      A．made to learn passively   B．good enough to their grandparents

       C．made to learn actively     D．understood and respected by teachers

64．What happens when teachers pay too much attention to the psychological implications during a lesson?

       A．They find that children dislike the lessons.

       B．They worry too much about history, stories, racial hatred, grammar and arithmetic.

       C．They don’t pay enough attention to what students are learning.

       D．They tend to blame students for their failure in teaching.

65．How do you understand the underlined sentence at the end of the passage?

       A．Children will learn well in a relaxed classroom atmosphere.

       B．Few children will actually learn when there is no discipline.

       C．Relaxed discipline is necessary for children to develop.

       D．No children will learn anything without strict discipline.

66．What is the author’s attitude toward the theories of modern psychology?

       A．Indifferent (不關(guān)心的).  B．Tolerant (容忍的).

       C．Supportive (支持的).      D．Critical (批評(píng)的).
