I wonder how they made it. They worked very hard for the man. They made his breakfast and they swept his floors and they took care of his babies. They didn t have too much time for the three of us. I wonder about my Mom, who walked out of a white womans clean house at midnight and came back to her own where the lights had been out for three months, and the pipes were frozen and the wind came in through the holes in the wail. Shed have to deal with the rats: leave some food out for them so they wouldnt bite the doors or the babies. Oh, they were just like part of the family!I wonder how she felt telling those white kids she took care of to brush their teeth after they ate, to wash their hands after they finished bathing. She could never tell her own kids because there wasnt soap or water back home. I wonder how my Mom felt when we came home from school with a list of vitamins and pills the school nurse said we had to have. Mom would cry all night, and then go out and spend most of the rent money for pills. A week later, the white man would come for his eighteen dollars rent and Mom would beg him to wait until tomorrow. She had to lie to him that she had lost her wallet or the relief check was coming soon or the white people had some money for her. Tomorrow Id be hiding in the closet because there was only supposed to be two kids in the flat, and I could hear the rent man shout at my Mom and call her a cheat. And when he finally went away, Mom put the sacks on her shoes and went off to the rich white mans house to dress the rich white kids so that their mother could take them to a special baby doctor.56.

Because someone told mother to do so(B) Babies are not just passing idle time when they stare at the television-they are actually learning about the world, U. S. researchers said. Parents may want to limit what their babies see on television, based on the study, said Donna Mumme, assistant professor of psychology at Tuffs University in Boston, who led the research. Children as young as 12 months are making decisions based on the emotional reactions of adults around them, Mumme said in a statement. It turns out they can also use emotional information they pick up from television. Mummes team already knew that babies watch other children and adults for information about the world. A mother urging her baby to eat some yummy soup or a brother crying in fear when a dog approaches can influence a babys reaction. Mummes team tested babies to determine if television has the same influence, showing actors reacting on a videotape to objects such as red letter holder, a blue ball, and a yellow lubber. Babies aged 10 months or 12 months were later given the same objects to play with. Ten-month-olds did not seem to be influenced by the videos, but the 1-year-olds were. When the actors acted naturally or positively to an object, the babies happily played with them. But if the actor had seemed afraid or disgusted, the babies would avoid the object.60. The underlined word psychology means the study of . A. humans society and its growth B. humans hopes and dreams C. humans mind and how it works D. humans languages and cultures61. Which of the following is Mummes conclusion? A. Small babies should not be allowed to watch television programs. B. Adults should let their babies do nothing but watch television. C. TV programs provide small babies with all the information they need. D. One-year-olds can be emotionally influenced by TV programs.62. Mumme reached his conclusion by . A. measuring the time babies spent in front of TV B. making TV programs and advertisements for kids C. showing actors how to react to blue balls D. observing small babies reactions to TV programs63. Which of the following is TRUE according to the researchers? A. Parents may want to limit what their babies see on television. B. Actors may try to behave themselves well in front of babies. C. Babies may be allowed to choose what they see on TV. D. Watching TV does harm to babies eyes. (C) Minh Pham was born in Vietnam. He left his native country when he was 21 years old. Minh has been in America for almost two years. There is still much he does not understand about America. Once Minh was in a supermarket. He saw an old man and an old woman. They wanted a box of cereal(麦片).The box was on a high shelf. The man and the woman couldnt reach it. Minh saw a ladder. He got on the ladder and got the box. He handed it to the elderly couple. They thanked him. Where are your children? asked Minh. Why don t they help you buy food? Our children have their own lives, said the man and the woman. We like to be independent. Minh doesnt think this is right. In his country, children help their parents. Minh gave the elderly couple his phone number. He told them to call him if they needed help. One night they asked Minh to dinner, but they never asked him for help. One day, Minh was walking with a Vietnamese friend. The two were going to a movie. Minh wanted to go to a restaurant first. Minh took his friends hand. He pulled him toward the restaurant. People on the street stared at Minh. In Vietnam, friends often hold hands. Minh found out that people in America are not used to holding hands. Minh Pham is going through a process known as re-socialization. Socialization is the process in which a person learns to live in a society. Everyone goes through this process. Minh went through it when he lived in Vietnam. But the Vietnamese way of life is much different from the American way of life. When Minh came to America, he had to learn a new way of life. He had to learn how to live in a new society. Minh has learned a lot about American life in two years. He still has a lot to learn. The process of re-socialization can take many years.64. Socialization is the process in which one . A. learns to live in a society B. travels from one country to another C. learns to act independently D. learns how to live happily65. What the elderly couple said gave us an example that American people, young or old, try to be . A. kind B. independent C. helpful D. friendly66. According to the passage, people stared at Minh and his friend because Minh was A. a Vietnamese B. doing something unusual C. entering a restaurant D. not dressed like Americans67. Who should experience socialization according to the passage? A. The Vietnamese in America. B. Older people. C. Americans. D. Everybody (D)If I had known then what I know now, I would have taken my fathers advice when I was 18 and I had to choose my major at university. He told me to study outside Italy where there were more possibilities to find a job once I finished university. But I said no, scared of living alone in a different country with a different culture, with a different language, and above all, far from my family and friends. So I decided to go to university in Italy and I chose the one in Rome, my city, which is one of the most ancient universities in the world, studying Communication Science because it was the most common and the most fashionable major six years ago (and still is now.). At that age, I wanted to become a sports journalist, but with the passing time, my opinions and my ideas started changing and I understood that I didnt like my choice. At that time, I understood that at 18 years old, everyone feels mature to decide about his own future. Everyone thinks that the advice that parents try to give is wrong and we are able to decide alone, maybe just with the help of our friends who are in the same situation. This is the worst thought that we can think. However, I graduated last December with the pride of my parents and I decided, with their help, to come to Toronto and study English. Here I am living the best experience I have ever lived. I often think: If I had known that living alone in a different country and studying something I like were so nice and interesting when I was 18, I would have listened to what my father told me six years ago. I try to regret nothing about my choices I have made in my past, but I just think that now I am mature to ask my parents and to listen to them because they have more experience and they know better than me what is right and what is wrong.68. What can we learn about the writer from the passage? A. He went to Toronto in order to become a sports journalist. B. He studied English when he was in a university in Rome. C. He followed his parents advice when choosing a university. D. He is enjoying his stay in Toronto and his study of English.69. All the following are the reasons why the writer chose a
