Thomas MacaulaySome thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs Nanette O Neill gave a math 41 to our class. When the papers were 42 , she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the 43 mistakes throughout the test. There is nothing really new about 44 in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs O Neill 45 even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to 46 after class. I was one of the twelve. Mrs O Neill asked 47 questions, and she didnt 48 us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the 49 words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to copy these words into our exercise-books one hundred times. I dont 50 about the other eleven boys. Speaking for myself, I can say: it was the most important single 51 of my life. Thirty years after being 52 to Macaulays words, they 53 seem to me the best yardstick(准绳), because they give us a way to measure ourselves rather than others. 54 of us are asked to make 55 decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle. But all of us are called upon daily to make a great many personal decisions. 56 the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket or turned over to the policeman? Should the 57 change （找零）received at the store be forgotten or 58 ? Nobody will know except 59 . But you have to live with yourself, and it is always 60 to live with someone you respect. 41.

Im sure lots of children of your age will say “Yes”. Not only the students in China have this problem, but children in the United States also have heavy school bags. Doctors are starting to worry that younger and younger students are having back and neck problems as a result of school bags being too heavy for them. But how much is too much? Doctors say students should carry no more than 10% to 15% of their own body weight. “Its hard for me to go upstairs with my bag because its so heavy,” said Rick Hammond, an 11-year-old student in the US.Rick is among students who have common school bags with two straps(带子) to carry them, but many other students choose rolling bags.But even with rolling bags, getting up stairs and buses is still a problem for children. Many of them have hurt their backs and necks because of the heavy school bags.Scott Bautch, a back doctor, said children under Grade 4 should stay with 10%. But it is also important that older children dont stay with over 15%, because their bodies are still growing. “Children are losing their balance and falling down with their school bags,” he said. Parents and teachers are starting to tell children to only take home library books they will be reading that night. Some teachers are using pieces of paper or thin workbooks for students to take home. One of the best answers is, as some children said, to have no homework at all!61. From the passage we can know that . A. only children in China carry too heavy school bagsB. both children in China and the US carry too heavy school bagsC. children in other countries dont carry too heavy bagsD. only children in the US carry too heavy school bags62.

If a child carries a heavy school bag, .A. his back and neck will be hurt B. his head and arms will be hurtC. his hands will be hurt D. his feet will be hurt64. According to the doctor, Scott Bautch, if a child in Grade 5 weighs about 30 kilos, the school bag he carries should not be over _.A. 5 kilos B. 3 kilos C. 5.5 kilos D. 4.5 kilos65. Some students think the best answer to his problems is that .A. they should have a little homework to do after they get homeB. their teachers had better not ask them to do any homework C. they should only take home library books they will read that night D. they should use thin workbooks instead of thick onesB According to a recent study performed by the Office of Applied Science, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, every day about 3,900 children and teens under the age of 18 try their first cigarette(香烟). Among the teens who continue to smoke into their adult years, about one out of three will die as a result of the habit.Because of the nicotine content in tobacco products, smoking not only becomes a habit for teens, but an addiction(上瘾). The nicotine in the tobacco is addictive. Once a teen develops the habit of smoking, it is difficult for them to quit without help. The American Lung Association reports smokers who start early in life find it more difficult to quit because of the addiction. Teens that smoke often do as a way of dealing with social situations or as a result of pressure from people of their age. The results of a Duke University study show teens with brothers and sisters who smoke are more likely to engage in smoking and other risky actions. The components(成分) of tobacco products have documented(被证实的) effects on behavior. Nicotine is known to increase fights in teens and adults.The center for Young Womens Health at the Childrens Hospital of Boston states that tobacco products contain about 4,000 chemicals, some of which are poisonous. Breathing these poisons into the lungs quickly affects a teens entire body. Outward changes include dry, wrinkled skin, yellow teeth and nails, and bad breath. Teen smokers are three times more likely to have bad teeth than non-smokers of their age, the Center further reports. External(外部的) effects are often present soon after smoking becomes a habit. 66. The recent study mentioned in Paragraph 1 tells us that _. A. many young people start smoking every day B. smoking is more harmful to adults than teenagers C. most new smokers will form the habit of smoking D. people usually think it is OK to smoke over 18 years old67. What makes people addicted to smoking according to the passage? A. The pressure from life. B. The feeling of being relaxed. C. The good smell of cigarettes. D. The nicotine in cigarettes.68. From Paragraph 3, we know the writer would probably agree that _. A. nobody can force a teenager to smoke if he or she doesnt want to B. smoking usually doesnt have an effect on the smokers behavior C. smokers usually dont want their other family members to smoke D. non-smoking teenagers are likely to be affected by smoking teenagers69. We can infer from the last paragraph that _. A. smokers dont mind their outward changes caused by smoking B. bad breath is caused by the nicotine that tobacco products contain C. whether one has the habit of smoking or not can be told from his/her appearance D. some chemicals that tobacco products contain are good for the smokers health70.

Coat of Many Colors made it to Time Magazines “100 Greatest Albums of All Time” list.CalypsoAlthough John Denvers Country Roads, Annies Song and Rocky Mountain High are perhaps more famous.
