very aware of this 38 , and took every 39 she could find to practise these high 40 . as she lived in a small house where she could not practise without 41 the rest of the family, she usually went for long walks along the country roads whenever she had time, and practised her high notes there. every time she heard a 42 or a person coming along the 43 , she stopped and 44 until she could no longer be heard before she started practising again, because she was a 45 person, and because she was sensitive about those high notes. one afternoon, however, a fast, open car came up behind her so 46 and so fast that she did not hear it until it was only a few yards from her. she was singing some of her highest and most 47 notes at the time, and as the car passed her, she saw an anxious 48 suddenly come over its drivers face. he put his brakes on violently, and as soon as the car stopped, he jumped out and began to 49 all his tires carefully. mrs. jones did not dare to tell him what the noise he

difficult for parents of nearly every family to teach their children to be responsible for housework, but with one of the following suggestions, you really can get your children to help at home. if you give your children the impression that they can never do anything quite right, then they will regard themselves as unfit or unable persons. unless children believe they can succeed, they will never become totally independent. my daughter carlas fifth-grade teacher made every child in her class feel special. when students received less than a prefect test score, she would point out what they had mastered and declared firmly they could learn what they had missed. you can use the same technique when you evaluate (评价) your childs work at home. dont always scold and give lots of praise instead. talk about what he has done right, not about what he hasnt done. if your child completes a difficult task, promise him a sunday trip or a ball game with dad. learning is a process of trying and failing and trying and succeeding. if you teach your children not to fear a mistake of failure, they will learn faster and achieve success at last. 51. the whole passage deals with _.a. social educationb. school education c. family educationd. pre-school education52. the author thinks that _.a. there is no way to get children to help at home b. the more encouragement and praise you give, the more responsible and helpful children will becomec. it is very difficult to make children responsible for houseworkd. children can be forced to help with housework53. the article gives us a good

top-selling female artist of the 1950s with more than 100 million records sold, died on january 2nd, 2013, when she was 85. she was one of the most beloved singers of the post-war era. take her “tennessee waltz” for example, it sold more than 10 million copies and was her biggest hit (成功). born in claremore, oklahoma, a small town near tulsa, page once dreamed of a career in commercial art. her first job in the art department at a local radio station soon led to her performing 15-minute program on her own.at age 20, page was discovered by big-band leader jack rael, who gave up his job to become her manager. the next year, she signed her first recording contract with mercury records and enjoyed her first hit record soon. she stayed with mercury for the next 14 years and recorded hit after hit including: “with my eyes wide open, im dreaming” and “old cape cod”.her last hit was “hush hush, sweet charlotte” , recorded for the bette davis movie of the same name. and then, there was “doggie in the window”. the creative tune was a huge hit, but with its repeated barking sounds and silly lyrics (歌词), the song has been used by many people as an example of all that was wrong with pop music in the early 1950s. throughout the 1950s, patti page made regular appearances on a variety of television shows and in 1957 she was chosen to host the musical program “the big record”. the following year, page appeared in her own cbs television series “the patti page show”. she continued to record and perform into the 21st century, most recently releasing an album of songs for children, a christmas record, and a new “best of” collection.besides music, patti page did a bit of acting. she co-starred with the oscar-winning burt lancaster in “elmer gantry”, and also starred on stage in the musical play “annie get your gun”.56. according to the passage, patti page _.a. wanted to be a singer as a childb. was born in a small town in 1927c. was known mainly for her acting skillsd.

actresscbelieve it or not, you cant escape disney world. mickey mouse, donald duck and winnie the pooh look out from t-shirts, school bags and lunch boxes. cartoons such as “snow white” and “the lion king” shape the childhoods of countless kids. while disneys products might have been your favorites as a child, you may not have realized that disney has tried to shape your imagination. “the little mermaid” (小美人鱼) is a good example. the lesson of the original tale was the evils of lust (欲望). in the original story, the mermaid lusts after the prince, but the prince does not choose her. in the end,she dies while the sea witch lives. in disneys film, the lesson is completely lost because the mermaid lives. the prince picks her, and the sea witch dies. disney completely leaves out the destructive nature of lust. according to us writer elizabeth bell, disney tries to keep its innocence by taking violence, sex, and race struggles out of the movies. however, these are all real-life problems that children must face. while “family-friendly” (老少皆宜) treatmentis the way disney has dealt with classic fairy tales, its films spread american values. aladdin and the lamp (阿拉丁神灯) is a well known story. although the film is set in an arabian city, its treatment of romance is very much american: young people choose their own mates and recognize the right person right away. even their parents accept the love when they see their childrens happiness. aladdin and heroine jasmine have physical contact during their first meeting. the common american advice “be yourself” works. whats more, some critics have pointed out that disney visually makes fun of arabian culture in the film. for example, a holy man hurts himself playing with fire, and thieves with scimitars run through the streets. disney is called the top promoter (推动者) of americanization. “it is a danger to our cultural diversity (多样化),” said akio igarashi,a professor in a japanese university.61. how does the writer show the danger of disney products? a. by examples and quotation (引用). b. by presenting different sides of an argument.c. by listing childrens favorite disney figures.d. by pointing out the real-life problems kids face.62.which of the following is not true according to the passage?a. disney deals with classic fairy tales in a family-friendly way.b. disney films try to avoid violence, sex and race problems.c. the disney “the little mermaid” does not show the evils of lust.d. disney films are not loved by many children any longer.63. which of the following is not aproblemwith disney films?a. they leave out real life problems that children must face.b. disney figures can often be seen in schools.c. they are a danger to cultural diversity.d. the original lesson contained by fairy tales is lost in disney films64. what does “leave out” mean in the passage?a. not include or mention.b. give up.c. throw away.d. ignore.65. what is the purpose of the story?a. to introduce to you some fairy tales that disney has remade.b. to show you the negative effects disney can have.c. to tell you about some important american values.d. to promote american values.da different kind of generation gap is developing in the workplace. someone - specifically the father-daughter team of larry and meagan johnson - has found out that on some american job sites, five generations are
