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. Born in Claremore, Oklahoma, a small town near Tulsa, Page originally dreamed of a career in commercial art. Her first job in the art department at a local radio station soon led to performing on her own 15-minute program. At age 20, Page was discovered by big-band leader Jack Rael, who quit his job to become her manager. In 1948, she signed her first recording contract with Mercury Records and two years later enjoyed her first hit record. 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 “HushHush, 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 television variety 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.

Whether they need to talk with you or just be in the same room with you, make yourself available. Even as kids get older, quality time is important. Its really hard for some people to come home after a tiring day of work, get down on the floor, and play with their kids or just talk to them about their day - especially if theyve had a stressful day themselves. But expressing interest in your kids shows that they re important to you.Help your child deal with stress by talking about what may be causing it. Together, you can come up with a few solutions. For example, he should cut back on after-school activities, spending more time talking with his parents or teachers, developing an exercise plan or keeping a journal. You can also help by predicting potentially stressful situations and preparing kids for them. For example, let a child know ahead of time, but not too far ahead of time, that a doctors appointment is coming up and talk about what will happen there. Keep in mind, though, that younger kids probably wont need too much advance preparation. Too much information can cause more stress. Remember that some level of stress is normal, Let kids know that its OK to feel angry, scared, lonely, or anxious and that other people share those feelings, too.When kids cant or wont discuss these problems, try talking about your own concerns. This shows that youre willing to handle tough topics and are available to talk with when theyre ready. If a child shows symptoms that concern you and is unwilling to talk, consult a counselor （顾问）or other mental health experts. Most parents have the skills to cope with their childrens stress. The time to seek professional attention is when any change in behavior continues to exist, when stress is causing serious anxiety, or when the behavior is causing significant problems in functioning at school or at home.64. What is the purpose of the text? A. To share the authors ideas on proper parenting. B. To persuade parents to spend more time with their kids. C. To advise parents how to help their kids deal with stress. D. To seek different ways to help solve kids problems.65. Why do some parents feel it difficult to spare quality time for their kids? A. Their kids are growing so fast. B. They have too much housework. C. Their kids are losing interest in them. D. They are tired out after work.66. You are advised not to talk too much about a stressful situation in advance because _.A. it does no good to your kids B. it doesnt work in practiceC. your kids may not feel stressed D. your kids dont want to listen67.What can we learn from the text?A. Normal people share the same feelings.B. It is normal for kids to have some stress.C. Kids should get rid of the negative feelings.D. Everybody feels angry, scared, lonely or anxious.DThe time may soon come when we say goodbye to most of the worlds languages. Today humans express themselves in over 6,000 different languages. But that is quickly changing. Many scientists say that over half of these languages will disappear within the next 50 years. After 100 years, the languages used in the world will not be more than 20.Why? It is because people from different cultures live and work together much more often than before. This brings change. The languages of the worlds main cultures are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures. Most international trade takes place in world languages such as English. People respect their own cultures and traditions, but when it comes to getting a job, knowing a world language is often necessary. It may mean the difference between success and failure.Technology works on the change of languages in an even more amazing way. Modern media such as radio and television give young people in developing countries much knowledge about the world. But this knowledge doesnt come in words from the mouths of their parents or the elders in their neighborhood. It usually comes in the language of a different culture.People in different cultures think it good for them to share a popular language. They can quickly share ideas and work together. Knowing the same language means easier communication and is a basis for trust.Is the death of a small local language such a terrible thing?The answer is maybe. Many cultures may have words for many useful things we know nothing about. If their languages die, their valuable wisdom may be lost forever.The future of the worlds languages depends on our actions now. Will we protect endangered languages or allowed them to quietly disappear?Time will have the last word.68. Scientists say that within 50 years, perhaps, there will be only _ languages in the world. A. 4,000 B. over 3,000 C. around 3,000 D. no more than 2069. In “The languages of the worlds main cultures are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures,” the verb “replace” means “_”. A. to put something back into a correct place B. to use a second thing in place of the first thing C. to find good place for something D. to decide how important something is70. The passage says that if all the people in the world knew a major world language, _. A. radio and television would all use the language B. it would be easier for them to share their ideas C. lessons at schools would be taught in the language D. people would respect their own culture more71. Also, the passage says that if nobody spoke the languages of smaller cultures, _. A. Many of the words for things we do not know would be lost. B. knowledge would come from the mouths of the elders C. people would have difficult in working together D. there would be no smaller cultures.72. By saying “Time will have the last word,” the writer means “ _”. A. let us wait and see B. we have time to do something C. it is too late to do anything D. it is only a problem of timeE根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it. Recite and repeat in conversation. When you hear a persons name, repeat it._71_ You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial. Ask the other person to recite and repeat. _72_ After youve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort youre making to learn their names. _73_ Admitting that you cant remember someones name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy （同情） if you say, “Im working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?” Use associations （联想）. _74_ For example, you could make a mental note: “ Vicki Cheng tall, black hair.” To reinforce (强迫) your associations, wr
