Most children with healthy appetites are ready to eat almost anything that is offered them and a child rarely dislikes food ( 1 ) it is badly cooked. The ( 2 ) a meal is cooked and served is the most important and an ( 3 ) served meal will often improve a child’s appetite. Never ask a child ( 4 ) he likes or dislikes a food and never ( 5 ) likes and dislikes in front of him or allow ( 6 ) else to do so. If the father says he hates fat meat or the mother ( 7 ) vegetables in the child’s hearing, he is ( 8 ) to copy this procedure. Take it ( 9 ) granted that he likes everything and he probably ( 10 ). Nothing healthful should be omitted from the meal because of a ( 11 ) dislike. At meal times it is a good ( 12 ) to give a child a small portion and let him ( 13 ) back for a second helping rather than give him as ( 14 ) as he is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child ( 15 ) meal times, but let him get on with his food; and do not ( 16 ) him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will ( 17 ) learn to swallow his food ( 18 ) he can hurry back to his toys.

For those who do want a ( 3 ) of their own, opportunities are limited, and working women usually have to ( 4 ) for lower wages, fewer promotions, less responsible ( 5 ).In America, on the other hand, most women, ( 6 ) wives and mothers, work most of theirlives, but ( 7 ), few have had real careers. As in Japan most fields are ( 8 ) by men and opportunities for women have been ( 9 ), salaries low, chances for advancement ( 10 ) American women work mainly because they ( 11 ), in these days of inflation and luxury living. ( 12 ) income per family is simply not enough to ( 13 ). So American women actually have two jobs: one nine-to-five position outside the home, and ( 14 ) round-the-clock-in-the-home-job ( 15 ) wife, house-maid, cook, and nurse.One of the main goals of the modern women’s liberation movement, which started( 16 ), was to eliminate sex discrimination in the work force, and to ( 17 ) careers for women that were previously ( 18 ) for men. Though there is still a long way to ( 19 ), a lot of progress has been ( 20 ).C.1. A. conservative B. usual C. traditionalD. unhappyC.2. A. for B. no C. up toD. away withB.3.

Yet, the ( 1 ) phenomenon of race consists of a few surface indications.We judge race usually ( 2 ) the coloring of the skin: a white race, a brown race, a yellow race and a black race. But ( 3 ) you were to remove the skin，you could not ( 4 ) anything about the race to which the individual belonged. There is ( 5 ) in physical structure, the brain or the internal organs to ( 6 ) a difference.There are four types of blood. ( 7 ) types are found in every race, and no type is distinct to any race. Human brains are the ( 8 ). No scientists could examine a brain and tell you therace to which the individual belonged. Brains will ( 9 ) in size, but this occurs within every race.( 10 ) does size have anything to do with intelligence. The largest brain ( 11 ) examined belonged to a person of weak ( 12 ). On the other hand, some of our most distinguished people have had ( 13 ) brains.Mental tests which are reasonably ( 14 ) show how no differences in intelligence between races. High and low test results both can be recorded by different members of any race. ( 15 ) equal educational advantages, there will be no difference in average standings, either on account of race or geographical(地理的)location.Individuals of every race ( 16 ) civilization to go backward or forward. Training and education can change the response of a group of people, ( 17 ) enable them to behave in a ( 18 ) way.The behaviors and ideals of people change according to circumstances, but they can always go back or go on to something new ( 19 ) is better and higher than anything ( 20 ) the past.D.1.

( 3 ) some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no ( 4 ) of special education can make a genius ( 5 ) a child born with low intelligence. ( 6 ), a child who lives in a boring environment will ( 7 ) his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and ( 8 ) surroundings. Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth, ( 9 ) whether or nothe reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This ( 10 ), now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.( 11 ) is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born ( 12 ). The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are ( 13 ) to be in intelligence. Thus ( 14 ) we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degrees of ( 15 ) will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two ( 16 ) twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, ( 17 ) have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine now ( 18 ) we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We would soon ( 19 ) differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that ( 20 ) as well as birth plays a part.D.1. A. wise B. intelligent C. bright D. stupidC.2. A. By no means B.

So ( 1 ), many people are concerned ( 2 ) the question: Am I getting enough vitamins, and am I getting the ( 3 ) kindEven though very small ( 4 ) of each vitamin are enough for the ( 5 ) of the body, the worry people have about vitamins has some basis. And this has to do ( 6 ) their diet---the food they take in. A person eating a good ( 7 ) of foods get all the vitamins now ( 8 ) to be needed.The problem is that there are many people ( 9 ) don’t choose foods wisely. So the answer( 10 ) this question is: No ( 11 ) vitamins are needed, ( 12 ) you eat proper foods. In fact, many of the vitamins cannot be ( 13 ) in the body, so when extra vitamins are taken in, the body simply gets rid of them. It is even ( 14 ) to put too much of certain vitamins into the body. This has been found to be true ( 15 ) vitamin A and D, when large amounts are taken ( 16 ).What foods supply what vitamins Here is a quick ( 17 ) idea. Vitamin A for the ( 18 ) of the eyes, skin, teeth, and bones, is found in green vegetables, fruits, eggs, liver and butter. Vitamin B1 which ( 19 ) the nervous and digestive ( 20 ) and prevents certain diseases, is found in cereals, pork and liver. VitaminB2 is found in milk, eggs, green vegetables and meats. Vitamin C, which helps bones and teeth, is found in tomatoes, certain fruits and vegetables. These are only a few of the most important vitamins the body needs.B.1.

Most months have a national holiday that has been arranged to be celebrated on a Monday. The holidays have all been decided to be celebrated on a Monday so that the workers may have 3-day weekends--- that is, Saturday, Sunday and Monday in order to rest or travel or do things with their families. Major holidays in the United States such as New Year’s Day or Christmas Day or the day, when we remember the first settlers of the United States, called Thanksgiving Day are celebrated all over the country. During these holidays most businesses close and the workers stay home andcelebrate with their family.Vacation can be from 2 weeks a year to 4 weeks a year. This usually depends on how long you’ve been working for a company, what type of position you have, whether you have a very high position or a very important position and it’s difficult to find someone to replaceyou. In this case, you might take a few days at a time rather than taking one month all at once. Usually the more time you spend working for a company, the more time you may get for vacation.1. The government of the United States makes it a rule for workers to have a ___ weekend almost once a month.A. 1-dayB. 2-dayC. 3-dayD. 4-day2. Workers in the United States sometimes work from___.A.

The reason why someone has to divide his vacation into several parts is that ___.A. no one can be found to take his placeB. he hasn’t a most high positionC. he plays an important role in his workD. he hasn’t been working for his company for a long time5. Which of the following is the best title for this passageA. Holidays in the United StatesB. Vacation in the United States.C. How do the workers spend their holidays.D. Something about the holidays and vacation in the U.S..82.Why don’t birds get lost in their long migratory flights Scientists have been puzzled over this question for many years. Now they’re be ginning to fill in the blanks.Not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours. But what about birds that fly mainly at night Tests with artificial stars have proved conclusively that certain night-flying birds are able to follow the star in their long-distance flights.One such bird---a warbler(鸣禽)---had spent its lifetime in a cage and never flown under the natural sky. Yet it showed an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance. The bird’s cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky at migration time. The bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins. Any change in the position of the make-believe stars caused a change in the direction of his flight.Scientists think that warbler, when flying in daylight, use the sun for guidance. But the stars are apparently their principal means of navigation. What do they do when the stars are hidden byclouds Apparently, they find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coast lines, and river courses. But when it’s too dark to see these, the warblers circle helplessly, unable to get their bearings.1. The reason why birds don’t get lost in migratory flightsA. have been known to scientists for years .B. have only recently been discovered.C. are known by everyone.D. will probably remain a mystery.2. The experiment with the warbler indicated thatA. birds have to be taught to navigate.?B. a bird that has been caged will not migrate.C. some birds cannot fly at night.D. some birds seem instinctively to follow the star when flying at night.3. Under artificial stars, the bird in the cageA. tried to fly in the same direction as birds not caged .B. changed direction when the position of the stars was changed.C. would not fly at all.D. both A and B.4. Warblers migrateA. from North American to the Falkland Islands.B. only once during their lifetime.C. using what is apparently an inborn navigational ability.D. when they are freed from their cages.5. This article is a good example of the way scientistsA. jump to conclusion.?B. discover workable answers to general questions by studying particular cases.C. formulate a law and then carry out investigation.D. are frustrated by the habits of animals.83. Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behavior for a man to smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country Or doesn’t it matter What about table manners Should you use both hands when you are eating Should you leave one on your lap, or on the tableThe Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and in America. That is, if a dinner invitation is for 7 o’clock, the dinner guest e ither arrives close to。
