Nowadays quite a few of us are falling behind with our studies

The audience nodded in agreement when the speaker, a teacher from a community college, said, “High school English teachers are not doing their jobs.”He described the shortcomings of his students, all high school graduates who can use language only at Grade 9 level. I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions ho. w this grade 9 level had been raised.

My topic is neither standards nor its decline（衰退）. What the speaker was really saying is that he is no longer young; he has been teaching for sixteen years, and is able to think and speak like an adult.

My point is that the frequent complaint（抱怨）of one generation about the next is unavoidable. It is also human nature to look for the reason for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century, it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language limitation. But since then, English teachers have been under constant attack.

The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea. As their own command of the language improves, they notice that young people do not have this same ability. Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years, they take as true the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and ears of adults the language of the young never seems enough.

Since this concern about the fall of the English language is not taken as a generation phenomenon but rather as something new to today’s young people, it naturally follows that today’s English teachers cannot be doing their jobs. Otherwise, young people would not make mistakes of the language.

72. The speaker the author mentioned in the passage believed that

A. the language of the younger generation is usually better than that of the older generation

B. students had a poor command of English because they didn’t work hard

D. could think and speak mentally

74. The author’s attitude towards the speaker’s remarks is

A. general                         B. positive                 C. disapproving.           D. passive

75. It can be concluded from the passage that

A. it is suitable to include English as a school subject

B. the author agrees with the speaker over the standard of English at Grade 9 level

C. English language teaching is an easy job

D. language improvement needs time and effort

 Sometimes we cry because we are sad and sometimes because we are extremely happy An irritant（刺激物）, such as onion smell or grains of sand in the eye, can also make cry In this case tears perform an obvious role in getting rid of substances（物質(zhì)）that might harm the surface of the eye

Dr William Frey of the Dry Eye and Tear Research Center at St Paul in Minnesota, USA, believes that tears from emotional causes may perform a similar role He thinks that crying could get rid of emotional stress by washing away a chemical in the blood caused by strong emotions To prove his theory, he hopes first to identify this chemical and then see if it is found in tears of sadness on happiness

So far, Dr Frey has failed to find out the difference between emotional tears and tears caused by an irritant in the eye This may be because these substances themselves cause a degree of stress land emotion What he has identified in all tears is a variety of biochemicals（生化物）which are one of。If the causes of stress A more detailed study may help us understand why sufferers from stress-related disorders cry less often than healthy people Dr Frey is also interested to see if there are any physiological（生理學(xué)的）explanations for why women, in general, cry five times more often than men, on average

A Tears fail to help get rid of emotional stress

B Irritants in the eye result in tears without causing stress and emotion

C Healthy people cry more often than those with stress-related problems

70 We can learn from the passage that          

A crying does US more harm than good

B inner feelings don’t affect our bodies

C sorrow may cause some chemicals in our blood

D emotional tears are different from tears caused by irritants in the eye

71 Dr Frey believes that tears from emotional causes may play a role in getting rid or
