Many parents try hard to protect their kids from TV and Internet advertising. But how can

you protect a child form. a large fast-food ad painted on her school locker(小柜)? Or a toy ad on the side of his school bus?

As school budgets get smaller, a growing number of schools in the US are selling advertising space on lockers and buses and in gyms and cafeterias. It is an easy way for schools to make money. And ads may provides relief for parents exhausted by making each donations to support schools.

While parents can always turn off the television or the computer, they can’t keep advertising out of schools. This isn’t the first time the issue has come up. For example, a news program for teens has been criticized for including ads in its 12-month classroom broadcasts.

Parents groups successfully fought a plan by a company called Bus Radio to put music and ads into school buses.

But now things are different. Just last month, Los Angeles approved a plan to allow companies to advertise in the district’s schools. Officials say the plan could provide as much as $ 18 million for the school.

In St. Francis, Minn, school recently agreed to cover 10% to 15% of their lockers with ads. Edward Saxton, a teacher in the school, say, “So far, parents are accepting this as a way to bring in needed money. The money pays for programs like arts, sports, and music. Parents don’t like to see programs getting cut. Neither do I.. Besides, schools are thinking about the effects on kids all the time.”

However, Susan Linn, an educational experts, says, “Kids have already seen enough ads on TV, in magazines and on products they use daily. School is no place for advertisements at all.”

Reader, what about you? Would you rather help run yet another school fundraiser, or expose your child to ads on lockers and buses? Is keeping ads out of schools worth raising taxes, or increasing your own cash support for schools through donations?

47. Why do schools allow ads into schools?

A. To reduce parents’ burdens.

B. To solve their finanical problems.

C. To offer kids a wide choice of goods.

D. To improve their students’ living conditions.

48. Edward Saxon thinks that _____.

A. schools choose ads carefully

B. ads in schools should not be too much

C. shcools should be a place free from ads

D. in-schools do no harm to young kids.

49. What is this passage mainly about?

A. The negative efect of ads on kids.

B. Efforts to stop in-school advertising.

C. Whether ads should be allowed in schools.

D. Whether Parents should run fundraisers for schools.

50. Who are intended readers of the text?

A. Parents B. Teachers C. Educators D. Businessmen

TEXT D Sending a child to school in England is a step which many parents do not find ea

TEXT D

Sending a child to school in England is a step which many parents do not find easy to take. In theory, at least, the problem is that there are very many choices to make. Let us try to list some of the alternatives between which parents are forced to decide. To begin with, they may ask themselves whether they would like their child to go to a single-sex school or a co-educational school. They may also consider whether he should go to a school which is connected to a particular church or religious group, or whether the school should have no such connections. Another decision is Whether the school should be one of the vast majority financed by the State or one of the very small but influential minority of private schools, though this choice is, of course, only available to the small number of those who can pay. Also connected with the question of money is whether the child should go to a boarding school or live at home. Then there is the question of what the child should do at school. Should it be a school whose curriculum lays emphasis, for instance, on necessary skills, such as reading, writing and mathematics, or one which pays more attention to developing the child’s personality, morally, emotionally and socially. Finally, with dissatisfaction with conventional education as great as it is in some circles in England and certainly in the USA, the question might even arise in the parents’ minds as to whether the child should be compelled to go to school at all. Although in practice, some parents may not think twice about any of these choices and send their child to the only school available in the immediate neighbourhood, any parent who is interested enough can insist that as many choices as possible be made open to him, and the system is theoretically supposed to provide them.

78. Parents find choosing a school hard because___.

A. there is a limited number of choices

B. some schools are very expensive

C. some schools are government schools

D. they are faced with a variety of offers

听力原文: Christmas is a day for family members to get together. People who live away try to get back home. The roads and railways are full of people traveling long distances in order to spend Christmas at home. Everyone wants to spend this day with their family. And above all, it's the children's holiday. They like to be happy at this day.

The children count the weeks, then the days to Christmas. They're wondering what presents they are going to have; they are very happy about this. They keep trying to find something out from their mother, but the only thing the mother will tell them is stories about Father Christmas, who brings presents to good children.

Christmas Eve comes at last. When the children go to bed they hang up their socks and on Christmas morning they wake to find them full of presents. Of course it's really their parents who fill the socks, but even the older children often pretend not to know this.

Everybody likes to be happy at Christmas time. The theatre puts on special shows for children. The circle is another thing that parents may take their children to see. Here, the audiences sit in a circle and the performance takes place in the center. The main attraction is the performing animals. Elephants, lions and tigers are trained to do astonishing tricks. Every circle has many funny persons who make people laugh.

Where do people want to spend Christmas?

A.In the park.

B.At home.

C.In a store.

Interracial marriages and relationships have become increasingly accepted and encouraged b
y society. Since the 1967 legalization of interracial marriage, the number of mixed race marriages has more or less doubled with each passing decade. There are currently over 1. 6 million interracial marriages in the United States and that figure is forecasted to continue rising. For the most part, relationships between races are no different than the interactions between people of the same race. 71 .

Over 70% of American society has no problem with mixed race relationships, thus proving that people are starting to overcome racial stereotypes. Over 40% of Americans have already dated someone of another ethnicity and are pioneering a revolution in the dating scene. Many high school and college students are dating interracially,which is helping to increase awareness of mixed race relationships. 72 Secret mixed race romances often occur because the parents are strict and forbid or discourage dating outside of one's culture. Parents are often the perpetrators of stereotypes and racism. Many parents force their children to date within their culture, in order to avoid betraying their own cultural roots.

73 Some couples choose to avoid cultural tradition altogether, some choose to have two separate weddings in order to celebrate both traditions properly, and some try to compromise by combining cultural customs and creating their own. 74 Including the families in the decision making process is a great way to keep everyone communicating and feeling happy.

75 It is important to talk about where holidays will take place and which traditions they will choose to celebrate. Many couples choose to worship either separately or they will find a different faith that suits them both. Issues concerning children, and how they will be raised both in faith and cultural are also major concerns for mixed race parents. The mixed race children should also be taught how to deal with racism.

A. Successful relationships often result in marriage, and the wedding plans themselves can be a major struggle.

B. Once married, mixed race couples face more decisions concerning holiday traditions, religious worship and children.

C. While there are many issues faced by those in interracial relationships, the friendships and romances are often worthwhile and fulfilling.

D. There are, however, certain issues such as faith, cultural traditions and racism that can cause tension and discomfort in the relationship.

E. Unfortunately, many of these relationships go unnoticed because the couples feel that either friends or family will not approve.

F. When preparing for interracial weddings, many of the parents feel that their cultural traditions are being denied and can cause problems.

听力原文: Today we're going to talk about shyness and discuss recent research on ways to help children learn to get along with others socially.

Many people consider themselves shy. In fact, forty percent of people who took part in our survey said they were shy--that's two out of every five people. And there are studies to indicate that the tendency toward shyness may be inherited. But certain timid children doesn't mean that they are bound to be shy forever. There is something parents, teachers, and the children themselves can do to overcome this tendency--and even to prevent it.

Our researchers found that if parents gently push their shy children to try new things, they can help these children become less afraid and less inhibited. Another way to help shy children is to train them in social skills. For example, there are special training programs where children are taught things like looking at other children while talking to them, talking about others' interests, and even smiling.

These groups have been very successful in giving shy children a place to feel safe and accepted, and building up their self-esteem.

(33)

A.Showing children how to behave.

B.Helping children overcome shyness.

C.Several causes of children's shyness.

D.How timid children become shy adults.

Sometimes teens need to have some time away from their families. They may want' to move ou
t of the family home for a while.

Many parents will say no to this demand. But experts say it might be a good idea to let your teens live with a friend or relative.

"It was the break I needed at the time," said Richard Lerner. He is talking about the time he spent living with his grandmother when he was 15.

"It allowed me to be a different person than I was with my parents." Lerner said. He now heads the Institute for Children, Youth and Families at Michigan State University.

Experts say teens living away from their families can test new ways of thinking and getting along with people. They may see new solutions (解答) to problems.

This is different from running away, the experts stress. Runaways are often fleeing serious problems.

Some teens who want some time away from family attend a structured summer program. Others live for a while with a relative or with the family of a friend.

If there is conflict (冲突) at home, having a teen live elsewhere can benefit other family members. It gives everyone space to develop better relationships.

Joseph Kett teaches history at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He says living at home until the late teen years has become the norm (准则) only in recent times.

"In the 17th century, children were often sent to live in other people's homes when they were about 10 or 11," he said.

Peter Sheras teaches education at the University of Virginia. He said parents should listen when a child wants to move out. They should try to find out why the child wants some time away.

Often, parents can help the child find a safe place to stay during that time. In other cases, they can meet the child's needs at home.

According to this passage, many parents think it ______ for their children to live away from them.

A.right

B.happy

C.unsafe

D.reasonable
