If teenagers are not wandering around on public transport in a big andpotentially dangerous city, they are chatting to strangers in an internet chat room!Well, thats an extreme picture of the UK today, but many parents are worried about更多优质自考资料，请访问自考乐园俱乐部/club/5346389how much freedom they can give their children during the holidays and at weekends.Weekends are not the only time to worry! Newspapers are full of stories about toomany school kids going to school by car because their parents do not want them totravel alone on a bus or train. This summer there were more frightening stories ofteenagers disappearing with questionable friends that they met on the net. All theMedia stories help increase parents fears, but is the UK really so dangerous?Many young people feel that life for their parents was easier. In the 1960s youngpeople played in the streets more and traveled around town without their parents.“At least our parents can keep tabs on us,” says 16yearold Julia.“So many peoplehave mobile phones now and their parents ring to find out where they are. I use mymobile to get Dad to come to the station when I arrive late.” Mobiles are not justexpensive toys; they help keep young people safe. Most significantly, they makeparents feel better. Only one problem is, though, that some young people have beenattacked by thieves who want to steal their mobile phones.Young people like going out with friends, but they now need to learn how to get homesafely. Five million young people in the UK between the ages of 9 to 16 use chatrooms to make friends, but they, too, need to be careful and never give theirpersonal details to a stranger. Young people today have more opportunities to meetnew people and go out at night more than their parents ever did. Now schools,television programs and newspapers must help teenagers to enjoy their freedom and tobe responsible for their own safety.(1).Some parents are upset about the summer holidays mainly because theirchildren _.(A).wander around on bus in the city(B).chat to strangers in Internet chat rooms(C).make questionable friends on the net(D).are taken little care of by teachers答案：D(2).For the sake of the safety, many parents send their kids to school _.(A).by car(B).by bus(C).by train(D).by public transport答案：A(3).Most significantly, mobile phones _.(A).enable parents keep a close watch on their kids(B).help keep teenagers safe(C).make parents feel less worried更多优质自考资料，请访问自考乐园俱乐部/club/5346389(D).protect teenagers from being attacked答案：C(4).Teenagers should never give any strangers _.(A).their mobile phone numbers(B).their family address(C).their personal information(D).their parentsnames答案：C(5).This passage is mainly about _.(A).freedom for teenagers in summer holidays(B).safety for teenagers in summer holidays(C).activities for teenagers in summer holidays(D).troubles for teenagers in summer holidays答案：B2.The threat of a global outbreak (疾病大爆发) of bird flu makes it urgent forthe international community to cooperate effectively. Wealthy countries will have toprovide hundreds of millions of dollars for the testing and production of medicinesnecessary for treating patients suffering from bird flu. Developing countries,particularly in Southeast Asia, where the bird flu virus (病毒) has spread since1997, must work out special programs so that farmers will not hide signs of possibleoutbreaks. In addition, the way such farm birds as chickens and ducks aretraditionally raised and marketed in the developing world should be changed; thereshould be more distance between the birds and their keepers. Countries should dealwith the disease with joint effort. If one country is inadequately prepared, it willbe a threat to every other country.The potential effects of a national outbreak of bird flu are enormous. Firstly, anoutbreak may kill large numbers of people. World Health Organization (WHO) estimatesthat an outbreak similar to the mild Hong Kong flu of 1968 could kill as many as 7.4million people. If it were as dangerous as the 1918 Spanish flu, which killed 50million, the number would be much higher. Secondly, such an outbreak may cause greatfinancial damage. The latest outbreak of bird flu, which began in December 2003, hascost Southeast Asia more than 10 billion and depressed its GDP by 1.5 percent. Ifa new outbreak of bird flu were to last for a whole year, 800 billion would belost.Despite the 124 human cases and 63 deaths from bird flu since December 2003, thevirus remains mainly a disease of animals. However, the more animals that die of thedisease, the more chances it has of spreading to people. Large numbers of dead ordying birds mean that more people will be exposed to the virus, which could intheory combine with a human flu virus and change into a virus with new更多优质自考资料，请访问自考乐园俱乐部/club/5346389characteristics.
