phones. they are connecting to a huge number of other children all over the world. some are shy “in real life” but are confident to communicate with others online; others find support from people of their own age on relationship issues, or problems at home. sometimes the online world, just like the real world, can introduce problems, such as bullying or arguments. going online is great fun, but there are also a few people who use the internet for offensive (冒犯性的) or illegal aims. children must be made aware of both the good things and the dangers. to keep children safe your management must cover the family computer. just as you decide which tv programs are suitable, you need to do the same for the websites and chat rooms your children visit. remind your children that online friends are still strangers. reminding them of the risks will keep them alert (警惕).computer studies are part of schoolwork now, so its likely that your children may know more than you do. we get left behind when it comes to the latest gad-gets and the interactive areas of websites, like chat rooms and message boards, which are especially strange. the language of chat is strange to many parents, too. chatters

bi was a medical student. to gather data for my paper, i started visiting patients at dr sardjito hospital, where i would review the medical records of patients and then interview them.one evening, i was in a ward(病房), desperately “hunting” for the final three patients i needed to complete my study. holding a patient questionnaire, i walked towards a room. a patient called ms a was lying in bed, clearly still weak. there were no relatives or friends with her. even the bed beside her was empty. i sat down on a chair next to her bed, and in a low voice i introduced myself and asked if i could gather some additional information from her. she agreed. after i finished, i prepared to leave. before i could stand up, ms a said, “ i havent seen you here before, doctor. are you new?” “not really, madam. its just that i dont come here every day,” i replied. ms a started talking about herself. she shared her difficulties and sufferings, talked about her husband, who was killed in a car accident, and that she struggled to earn money. all i did was nod my head as a way of showing my sympathy.without realizing it, i had begun holding ms as hand. finally, ms a stopped talking. “im very sorry for keeping you here to listen to my problem, but i feel relieved now. i had no one to pour out my problems to.” tears fell from the corner of her eyes. finally, i knew what to say. “its ok, madam. its part of my duty.” i stood up and waved goodbye. a few days later, when i returned to the ward, i discovered ms a had left the hospital as her condition had improved.ms a taught me the most important lessons a doctor can learn. sometimes patients do not need expensive medicine. they just need someone with the patience and willingness to lend an ear and spare a little of their time. 61. why did the author interview the patients at dr sardjito hospital? a. because it was the duty as a medical student.b. because she needed medical information for her paper.c. because she was going to get a good position there soon.d. because she wanted to learn about the suffering of patients.62. from paragraph 2 we can infer that ms a was feeling_.a. relaxed b. annoyed c. nervous d. lonely63. what do we know about ms a from the passage?a. she had lost her husband and kids b. she got hurt in a traffic accidentc. she was living in a hard condition d. she didnt get on well with others64. ms a tended to think that _.a. the author was kind and patient enough to share her sufferings b. other doctors treated her in a cold wayc. she shouldnt talk about her difficulties to doctorsd. doctors ought to learn how to cure her psychological (精神上的)problems65. what conclusion did the author draw after interviewing ms a?a. a doctor must learn how to treat each patient equally.b. her psychological treatment made

of weather? dont look at the sky. dont look for old weather reports. looking at tree rings is more important. correct weather reports date back only one century, but some trees can provide an exact record of the weather even further back. it is natural that a tree would grow best in a climate with plenty of sunlight and rainfall. it is also expected that little sunlight and rainfall would limit the growth of a tree. the change from a favorable to an unfavorable climate can be determined by reading the pattern of rings in a tree trunk. to find the weather of ten years ago, count the rings of a tree trunk from the outside to the inside. if the tenth ring is far from the other rings, then it is certain that plenty of sunny and rainy weather occurred. if the rings are closed together, then the climate was bad for the tree.studying tree rings is important not only for the history of weather, but also for the history of man. in a region of new mexico you can find only sand-no trees and no people. however, many centuries ago a large population lived there. they left suddenly. why?a scientist studied patterns of dead tree rings which had grown there. he decided that the people had to leave because they had cut down all the trees. trees were necessary to make fires and buildings. so, after the people destroyed the trees, they had to move. in this instance studying tree rings uncovers an exciting fact about the history of man.66. it is understood that in a favorable climate _. a. tree rings grow together b. tree rings grow far apart c. trees in new mexico will grow big and tall d. people can cut down most of the trees in new mexico67. the scientists are interested in studying tree rings because they can tell _. a. whether in that area the climate was favorable or not b. whether a particular tree was healthy or not c. whether people took good care of the trees or not d. how old the trees were68. by studying the dead tree rings, the scientist discovered _. a .where the people had left. b. what the people used to eat c. how the people left d. why the people had to leave69. the people had to leave the region of new mexico because _. a. they had cut down all the trees b. there were many trees there c. they had no water d. bad weather stopped the growth of trees70. the main idea of the passage is that_. a. tree rings reflect the history of weather and the history of man b. destroying tree will do man no good c. studying tree ring is the only way to know the history of weather d. man shouldnt cut so many trees part 1v 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.there are two types of people in the world. although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comfort of life, one becomes happy while the other becomes unhappy. this difference comes from the different ways in which they
