And so I am going to put it to one side. After a while not having children becomes the norm and perhaps that might sound alarming, to parents especially, but I have never known anything different. Im not hurt by not having children. My life and career are incredibly rich.” Talking about growing up in a large family in Berkhamsted (father a property developer who later committed suicide), she says: “I was gifted as a child, and very musical. I seemed to be good at anything to do with the arts. At 5，I understood the music I was dancing to and had an eye for costume.” She first appeared in a West End musical at 11 and hated boarding school. Brightman led the saucy dance troupe（辣妹三人舞） Hot Gossip and had her first hit with I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper in 1978. At 18 she married a music manager called Andrew Graham Stewart. “I was probably in love but I cant remember. Girls change such a lot between 18 and 22. It didnt really work out.” In 1981 she was spotted by Lloyd Webber. She became his leading lady in Song and Dance, Requiem and Phantom of the Opera. They married in 1984. Brightman says she felt hostility(敌意) “from the beginning. I havent tried to understand it. Ive done very well everywhere else, especially the US, where I now live, I just accept it for what it is. The more you are away from Britain, the more you appreciate it. But I dont miss it, although I miss my family. Our profession can be uncomfortable but I enjoy what I do. I get on with it.” 56. The first paragraph tells us that _. A. Brightman is very popular around the world except in AmericaB. Brightmans musical style is a mixture of opera, pop and jazz C. the British people dont like her for her style of music D. Brightman is much older than Andrew Lloyd Webber57. Brightman decided to give up having children because _. A. she could adopt one B. her life and career were unbelievably rich without childrenC. she felt it normal not to have children D. she was too busy 58. The following statements are true except _. A. Brightman first appeared in a West End musical at 5 B. Brightman disliked life on the campus C. Brightman was very gifted when she was young D.The saucy dance troupe made Brightman famous59. The underlined word in the fourth paragraph probably means _.A. located B. admired C. followed D. found60. What does the author try to say in the last paragraph by quoting Brightmans words? A. Brightman has to accept the fact that she is not liked in Britain B. Brightman lives in America but she loves her own country C. The British coldness towards Brightman led to her hatred to her homelandD. Brightman was at a loss why she was not welcome in Britain BPushy parents and teachers who “hothouse” the under-5s risk causing damage to the childrens long term development, a leading education expert said.Lilian Katz, Professor of Education at the University of Illinois, said that four-year-olds engaged in reading and writing went on to perform worse academically than those engaged in imaginative learning. They scored higher in tests at the age of 5, but children whose first year at school was stimulating outstripped them four years later.The findings suggest that the governments structured approach to early years learning could be storing up problems for children. They also raise serious questions about the plan for all children to be able to read by the age of 6.In many countries formal teaching does not start until children are 6 or 7 and have improved their social and manual skills. Children start learning to read and write at 6 in the United States, France and Germany, and at 7 in Finland and Sweden.Professor Katz said that in many schools the courses were boring children to tears. Much academic teaching required children to learn by memorizing pieces of information out of context, she said. Teaching in reception class should instead allow children to develop their intellect by exploring their environments and asking questions.Research suggests the benefits of formal academic instruction for four- and five-year-olds seem to be promising when they are tested early, but considerably less so in the long term. When these children are followed over a period of three or more years, those who had early experience in more intellectually engaging curricula were more likely to do well in school than their peers, who had received early academic instruction. She advocates teaching children through first-hand experience and play, in mixed-aged classes. This can include puppet shows, drawing or running a pretend shop in the classroom.61According to the passage, those who “hothouse” the under-5s would probably _.A. prefer a lot of interaction and stimulation while teachingB. teach in a lively way to motivate kids interestC. push the kids to memorize pieces of informationD. care about the kids physical development62What does the underlined word “ outstripped” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. did better than/B. looked down uponC. caught up with/D. performed worse than63According to Lilian Katz, the governments structured approach to early-years learning _.A. is necessary for improving childrens reading and writing abilityB. needs to be improved to develop childrens academic abilityC. will cause problems to children in their future learningD. has more advantages than disadvantages64The message the author wants to deliver through the passage is that formal teaching _.A. can start at different times in different countries. B. should not be started too earlyC. is best carried out in Finland and SwedenD. should include teaching children social and manual skills65Which of the following is NOT the opinion of Lilian Katz?A. Children should be taught through first-hand experience.B. Learning in a mixed-age class is good for children.C. Running a shop can help children get good marks.D. Puppet shows and drawing are useful in teaching children.66The main aim of Environment Awareness Week is to _Aeducate the public on protecting the environmentBdiscuss global warming and other environmental problemsCexplain ways for producing freshwater to save the environmentDlearn about renewable energy sources that protect the environment67The organizer of the event is _AGlobal Gaia Network BClean Energy AgencyCGreen Earth Foundation DInternational Environment Fund68If you are interested in renewable energy sources, you should go to _AHall 1 BHall 2 CHall 3 DHall 469The 3 Rs stand for _ARead, Realize and Remember BReduce, Reuse and RecycleCGreen Earth Foundation DGlobal Gaia Network70Which of the following statements is NOT true of the event?AIt will last a week and the halls will be open 11 hours a dayBYou can send an email to MrsDaisy Soh for more informationCEach hall charges the same amount of money as the otherDLectures in Hall 1 will be given by university students DSelf-employed private physicians who charge a fee for each patient visit are the foundation of medical practice in the United States. Most physicians have a contract relationship with one or more hospitals in the community. They send their patients to this hospital, which usually charges patients according to the number of days they stay and the facilities(operating room, tests, medicines that they use). Some hospitals belong to a city, a state or, in the case of veterans hospitals, a federal government agency. Others are operated by religious orders(教会) or other non-profit groups.Some medical doctors are on salary. Salaried physicians may work as hospital staff members, or residents, who are often still in training. They may teach in medical schools, be hired by corporations to care for their workers or work for the federal governments Public Health Service.Physicians are among the best paid professionals in the United States. In the 1980s, it was not uncommon for medical doctors to earn incomes of more than $ 100 000 a year. Specialists, particularly surgeons, might earn several times that amount. Physicians list many reasons why they deserve to be so well rewarded for their work. One reason is the long and expensive preparation required to become a physician in the United States. Most would-be physicians first attend college for four years, which can cost nearly $ 20 000 a year at one of the best private institutions. Prospective physicians then attend medical school for four years. Tuition alone can exceed $ 10 000 a year. By the time they have obtained their medical degrees, many young physicians are deeply in debt. They still face three to five years of residency(实习阶段) in a hospital, the first year as an apprentice physician. The hours are long and the pay is relatively low.Setting up a medical practice is expensive, too. Sometimes several physicians will decide to establish a group practice, so they can share the expense of maintaining an office and buying equipment. These physicians also take care of each others patients in emergencies.Physicians work long hours and must accept a great deal of responsibility. Many medical procedures, even quite routine ones, involve ri
