The authorexplains that it costs RMB 450,000 to raise a child through to the sixth grade. "A whole family,s monthly income is spent on the child ;every minute you have is used earning money for your child ?your moods are hugely affected by your child,s; friends,career and fun all belong to your pre-child life;youM sell your house to get your child into a better school.And this,according to sina . com,means a generation of "child slaves" has been created.With thousands of people blogging in China,s cyber spa ce,a new group of bloggers have made a name for themselves by blogging about raising children. These young parents who regularly blog about their children,s daily lives,exchange tips and post hundreds of cute photos of their toddlers > are divided about whether they are slaves to their children.Gao Jia,who is about to have a baby, thinks she^s a ‘‘slave-to-be,,and looks forward to it.

Many theories,even some mystical ones,have been advanced to explain the popularity of jogging. The plain truth is that jogging is a cheap,quick and efficient way to maintain (or achieve) physical fitness.The most useful sort of exercise is exercise that develops the heart,lungs, and circulatory(血液循环的)systems. If thesesystems are fit,the body is ready for almost any sport and for almost any sudden demand made by work or emergencies. One can train more specifically,as by developing strength for weight lifting or the ability to run straight ahead for short distances with great power as in football,but running trains your heart and lungs to deliver oxygen more efficiently to all parts of your body. It is worth doing that:this sort of exercise is the only kind that can reduce heart disease, the number one cause of death in America.Only one sort of equipment is needed—a pair of good shoes. Physicians advise beginning joggers not to try to run in tennis or gym shoes. Many design advances have been made in only the last several years that make a pair of excellent running shoes indispensable if a runner wishes to develop as quickly as possible,with as little chance of injury as possible. A pair of good running shoes will have soft pads for absorbing shock, as well as slightly built-up heels and full heel cups that will give the knee and ankle more stability. A wise investment in good shoes will prevent blisters(水泡)and the foot,ankle and knee injuries and will also enable the wearer to run on paved or soft surfaces. No other special equipment is needed;you can jog in any clothing you desire,even your street clothes.It takes surprisingly little time to develop the ability to run. The American Jogging Association has a twelve-week program designed to move from a fifteen- minute walk (which almost anyone can manage who is in reasonable health) to a thirty-minute run. A measure of common sense,a physical examination,and a planned schedule are all it takes.61. The main purpose of this passage is to __________..A. discuss jogging as a physical fitness programB. describe the type of clothing needed for joggingC. provide scientific evidence of the benefits of joggingD. launch a nationwide physical fitness campaign62. The most effective kind of exercise should be the one that __________..A. trains the body for weight liftingB. enables a person to run straight aheadC. is both beneficial and inexpensiveD. develops the heart,lungs,and circulatory systems63. We can conclude from this passage that __________..A. jogging makes heart disease no longer be an American problemB. jogging can be harmful if the runner is not properly preparedC. suits are preferable to gym shoes and T-shirtsD. jogging is bad for the ankles and knees64. What can we learn from the third paragraph?A. For beginning joggers,tennis or gym shoes are better choices.B. A pair of good running shoes is necessary for a runner to develop quickly.C. A pair of good running shoes with a full heel-cup is designed to prevent shock.D. Comfortable pads will give the knees and ankles more stability.65. The author^s attitude towards jogging is __________..A. doubtfulB. criticalC. approvingD. objectiveCIf you want to teach your children how to say sorry,you must be good at saying it yourself,especially to your own children. But how you say it can be quite tricky.If you say to your children “I,m sorry I got angry with you,but...,,,what follows that "but,can render the apology ineffective:“I had a bad day" or "your noise was giving me a headache,,leaves the person who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior in expecting an apology.Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say "Pm sorry you,re upset,,;this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done.Then there is the general, all-covering apology, which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific act that was particularly hurtful or insulting, and which the person who is apologizing should promise never to do again. Saying "Pm useless as a parent,,does not commit a person to any specific improvement.These pseudo-apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness. Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength,and therefore not resort to these pseudo-apologies.But even when presented with examples of genuine contrition,children still need help to become aware of the complexities of saying sorry. A three-year-old might need help in understanding that other children feel pain just as he does, and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology. A six-year-old might need reminding that spoiling other children’s expectations can require an apology. A twelve-year-old might need to be shown that raiding the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowing a parentis clothes without permission is not.66. If a mother adds "but" to an apology, __________..A. she doesn’t feel that she should have apologizedB. she does not realize that the child has been hurtC. the child may find the apology easier to acceptD. the child may feel that he owes her an apology67. According to the author, saying "Pm sorry you’re upset,most probably means” _____”A. You have good reason to get upsetB. Fm aware you’re upset,but I’m not to blameC. I apologize for hurting your feelingsD. Fm at fault for making you upset68. It is not advisable to use the general,all-covering apology because __________..A. it gets one into the habit of making empty promisesB. it may make the other person feel guiltyC. it is vague and ineffectiveD. it is hurtful and insulting6 9. We learn from the last paragraph that in teaching children to say sorry __________..A. the complexities involved should be ignoredB. their ages should be taken into accountC. parents need to set them a good exampleD. parents should be patient and tolerant70. It can be inferred from the passage that apologizing properly is .A. a social issue calling for immediate attentionB. not necessary among family membersC. a sign of social progressD. not as simple as it seemsPart IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions :Read the following passage . Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage .Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer .What is a correct way to take medicine? Reading the question you might think it ridiculous. Actually,how to take medicine means a lot. Knowing it will not only help you preserve the full benefit of your valuable medicine,but also save yourself from potential side effects. For many reasons,no prescription or over-the-counter(非处方的)drug is 100 percent effective in all people or situations. To preserve the full benefit of your medicine,experts say to follow these key steps:Ask doctors for help. Discuss drug effectiveness with a doctor before getting a prescription. The doctor can help you explain effectiveness data in product instructions. You can also consult a chemist when buying over-the-counter medications.Store drugs properly. For instance,never store aspirin in the bathroom or the refrigerator. That^s because aspirin,like other drugs,can lose effectiveness in damp conditions. Most prescription drugs today come with special storage instructions. Also,some drugs,such as the antibiotic tetracycline,become ineffective when they are exposed to sunlight.Do you know how long you should use a certain medicine? Our human body is very smart. It doesn’t like any foreign chemical. That’s why the body builds up tolerance to many drugs,such as some sleeping pills,and pain medications. If a drug that once was effective no longer seems to help you,consult a doctor before you want to increase the amount of it.Cutting a sustained-release(药效持久的)pill can make a drug ineffective or even dangerous. That’s because too large a dose of a medicine will be distributed quickly. Also avoid emptying capsules into drinks,say coca cola,milk,juice or food like porridge and soup. So take the pill in a correct way.Do you know when to use medicine? You are advised to use medicine at the right time of the day. The instruction of the medicine Renova recommends applying the product at night. The active drug can be destroyed by sunlight. Also,applying two medicines to your skin at the same time might make them both ineffective. Taking drugs at recommended times,such as before meals,can increase absorption.Some people may store medicine they bought years ago. In actual fact,over time, many drugs experience chemical changes. So pay attention to expiration (截止)dates listed on labels or ask your chemist a drug ^ s shelf life. Don ^ t hesitate to throw old pills if possible.As you can see,taking medicine correctly is very important for many reasons,so make sure you follow these tips. Title:71. __________.I .

Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage .A Swedish man was being treated in hospital Sunday after being dug out alive from his snow-buried car in which he had survived for two months with no food,according to police and local media.The 45-year-old from southern Sweden was found on Friday> emaciated and too weak to utter more than a few words.The BBC reported the temperature in the area had recently dropped to -22° F (-30°C) . He was found not far from the city of Umea in the north of Sweden by snowmobilers who thought they had come across a car wreck until they dug their way to a window and saw movement inside.The man,who was laying in the back seat in a sleeping bag,said he had been in the car since December 19."It is just incredible that he’s alive considering that he had no food, but also since it’s been really cold for some time after Christmas,,,one of the rescue team members told regional daily Vasterbottens-Kuriren,which broke the news. The Daily Telegraph reported that the man appeared to have survived on melted snow.Ebbe Nyberg,duty officer at the Umea police,said police saw no reason to doubt that the man had been stuck in the car for a very long time."We would not make something like this up. The rescue services were on site too and saw the same as us,he told Vasterbottens-Kuriren.Umea University Hospital,where the man is recovering a fter being rescued by police and a rescue team,said in a statement he was doing well considering the circumstances.Doctors at the hospital said humans would normally be able to survive for about four weeks without food. Besides eating snow,the man probably survived by going into a dormant-like state,physician Stefan Branth told Vasterbottens- Kuriren."A bit like a bear that hibernates. Humans can do that,,,he said. ‘‘He probably had a body temperature of around 31 degrees (Celsius) which the body adjusted to. Due to the low temperature,not much energy was used up. ”Why the man ended up under the snow in the forest remains unknown,police say.81. Who discovered the Swedish man in the snow-buried car?
