听力原文: An Army reservist who appeared in several of the most infamous abuse photos taken by guards at Abu Ghraib prison was sentenced Tuesday to six months in prison for her role in the scandal that rocked the U.S. military's image at home and abroad.
The sentence for Spc. Sabrina Harman came a day after she was convicted on six of the seven counts she faced for mistreating detainees at the Baghdad lockup in late 2003.

听力原文: During the Orange Revolution, Viktor Yushchenko's name echoed across Kiev's Independence Square as hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians reversed a fraudulent presidential election and put Mr. Yushchenko in office. But after just nine months, the President's Chief of Staff resigned, after leveling corruption charges against the highest levels of the new administration. The ensuing crisis has disenchanted many in Ukraine.

A.now have the freedom
B.are now afraid
C.have always had the freedom
D.have no freedom
【C1】

they were smaller. People believed that children were just “small adults”, and expected them to dress and act like adults.
But now people know much more about children. In both body and mind, children are different from adults because they are at a different stage of development. As far as the body is concerned, it is obvious. A baby of six months can sit up, but can not run, and so on. But the development of the mind is not so obvious. A small child, for example, does not understand the difference between the present and the fu ture. So if the child asks for an apple and the parent says,“ No, not now, you can have one after lunch." The child often cries. Some mothers think the child is being difficult, but perhaps he is just being differ ent; he does not understand the idea of the future, and for him ”not now means “never”. So naturally, the child cries.
People used to believe that ______.
A.children should wear adults'
B.children were the same as adults, except that they were smaller
C.children acted like adults
D.children were adults in small clothes
