society. all of the meaningful parts of a culture are passed on to different generations through tradition or social learning. 41 culture exists in agricultural as well as industrialized societies. culture is necessary for the survival and existence of human beings as human beings. practically everything humans know, think, value, feel, and do is learned through taking part in a sociocultural system. 42 here is one of the cases of children growing up apart from human society. in the province of midnapore in india, the director of a childrens home was told by local villagers that there were “ghost” in the forest. upon looking into the case, the director found that two children, one about eight years old and the other about six years old, appeared to have been living with a pack of wolves in the forest.43 in his diary, the director describes his first view of kamala (as the older child was named) and amala ( the name given to the younger child): kamala was a terrible-looking being, the head, a big ball of something covering the shoulders. 44 their eyes were bright and sharp, unlike human eyes. they were very fond of raw meat and raw milk. gradually, as they got stronger, they began going on all fours, and afterwards began to run on all fours, just like squirrels. children learn human language in the same way they learn other kinds of human behaviorby taking part in a cultural community.45 a.from this viewpoint, all human groups have a culture.b.close at its heels there came another terrible creature exactly like the first, but smaller in size.c.human beings can only develop human abilities by the local people.d.this statement is well supported by some well-written cases.e.these children were the ghosts described by the local people.f.culture refers only to the high art and classical music of a particular society.g.they learn a certain human languages as well as certain kinds of human behavior through their membership in a certain cultural community. bas you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. it is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. you almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. they feel that the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them. six percent of workers in britain took the decision to downshift last year.one couple who downshifted is daniel and liz. they used to work in central london. he was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. they would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny. most evenings daniel wouldnt get home until eight or nine oclock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to new york for meetings. they both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of wales. “i always wanted to have a farm then,” says daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. its taken some getting used to, but its been worth it. we have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. however, i think its made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.liz, however, is not quite sure. “i used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. im not really a country girl, but i suppose im gradually getting used to looking after the animals. one thing i do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. my advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”46the passage tells us that .apeople seldom work long hours to make moneybpeople hardly buy more things than necessarycpeople are sure everything they own is in the right placedpeople realize there is more to life than just making money47when daniel was a reporter he _.alived in central london bdisliked his job cmissed his children dwas well paid48daniel and liz both agree that the move to the farm _.awas easy to organize bhas improved family lifecwas extremely expensive dhas been a total success49what does the author mean by saying “the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives” in the second paragraph ?apeople work long hours to earn their living.bto make more money through hard work is the aim of peoples life.clong hours of hard work occupy too much of peoples life.dpeople spent too much time and money eating meals.50the underlined word “downshifting” in the second paragraph refers to _.arepairing your car by yourself bspending money carefullycmoving out to the countryside to live a simpler and better lifedliving in a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a weekcimagine a boy from a small village in east africa, he from a very early age has been looking after cattle. when he is twelve years old he knows more about cattle than most of you. however, he has never been to school. has this boy ever had any education?education is discovering about ourselves and about the people and things around us. all the people who care about us our parents, brothers, sisters, friends are our teachers. in fact, we learn something from everyone we meet. we start learning on the day we are born, not on the first day we go to school. every day we have new experiences, like finding a birds nest, discovering a new street in our neighborhood, making friends with someone we didnt like before. new experiences are even more fun when we share them with other people.encouragement from the people around us enables us to explore things as much as possible. as we grow up, we begin to find out what we are capable of doing. you may be good at cooking, or singing or playing football. you find this out by doing these things. just thinking about cooking doesnt tell you if you are good at it.we learn so much just living from day to day. so why is school important? of course you can learn some things better at home than at school, like how to do the shopping, and how to help old or disabled people who can t do everything for themselves. at school, teachers help us to read and write. with their guidance, we begin to see things in different ways.51.the writer takes the african boy as an example to show that _.a. african children are very poor b. some children are unluckyc. education takes many ways d. schools are of great importance52. in the eyes of the writer .a. we have to learn from the people around us b. school is not important at allc. only the people caring for us can teach usd. education takes place everywhere53. one can find out what he is good at by _.a. the encouragement of people around b. the teachings of those he or she meetsc. thinking of it when growing up d. trying practicing it54. how the writer looks at the role of school is that .a. school is not so important as our living placesb. school enables us to understand the world in other waysc. school teaches us something useless at homed. school cannot prepare us for our daily lives55. the passage tells us that _ .a. everyone gets education from the day he or she is born.b. different education trains different classes of people.c. school is absolutely necessary if one wants to understand the world.d. everyone will find out what he or she is good at.dhonestly, since my daughter was born, i have thought a lot about how to raise a child. i once heard a story that told about when a baby was born. the story said that when a baby was born, a new master was born. the parents of that baby would become the servants. the question is: why? based on my observation, this phenomenon is true. most parents who dont pay much attention to their kids have difficulties with their kids attitude.ill make a comparison of how two families raise their children. the first one is a family with three children. both mother and father never say no to their childrens demands. as a result, all of their children became stubborn and wont listen to their parents words, we cant.the second family educated their children strictly from one year old to high school. the parents never approved or agreed directly to give their children what they wanted. they always postponed one or two days, even if they could afford it. due to the way their parents educated them, these children understood that if they wanted something, they had to wait or they had to make an effort first. as a result, all the kids from the second family successfully graduated from university on time.in my opinion, if we want to be successful parents and raise our children well, we have to start disciplining them when they are toddlers but not wait until they become teenagers.56. why did the writer give two different stories in this passage? a. to help prove his opinion about raising a child. b. to list different ways that parents may take. c. to criticize some parents foolish action. d. to prove that his way of education is right.57. what does the underlined word “postponed” in the third paragraph mean? a. carried out at once. b. gave up. c. put off. d. made a decision.58. in the writers opinion, which of the following about raising a child is true? a. children should be respected once they were born. b. parents should educate their children as early as possible. c. it is right time to educate their children when they are teenagers. d. children should be helped whenever they make mistakes.echildren pushed in buggies which face away from their parents may suffer longterm emotional and language problems，according to a study published on friday.the research，believed to be the first of its kind，found that children who were not facing the person pushing them were less likely to talk，laugh and interact with their parents.the findings were based on a study of 2,722 parents and babies and an experiment where 20 babies were wheeled in buggies for a mile，facing their parents for half the journey and facing away for the other half. parents using facetoface buggies were twice as likely to talk to their children while the babies heart rates fell and they were twice as likely to fall asleep，an indication that they were feeling relaxed and safe.in addition，only one baby out of the 20 studied laughed while sitting in an awayfacing buggy.“our data suggests that for many babies today，life in a buggy is emotionally impoverished and possibly stressful. stressed babies grow into anxious adults，” said dr suzanne zeedyk，developmental psychologist at scotlands dundee university who carried out the research.the study，which was published by national literacy trust as part of its “talk to your baby” campaign，found that 62 percent of all children observed travelled in awayfacing buggies.zeedyk said it would impact negatively on babies development if they spent a long time in awayfacing buggies，which would undermine their ability to communicate with their parent at a time when their brain was developing rapidly.laura barbour of the sutton trust，a social mobility charity which funded the research，said buggy manufacturers should look closely at the findings.59using awayfacing buggies may_.abenefit both the babies and their parents baffect babies language ability permanentlychelp babies communicate with their parents dhave positive effect on babies development60which of the following is true according to the passage?aparents may talk twice with the babies in awayfacing buggies.bthe study suggests children feel relaxed and safe in buggies.cthe samples of the study were 20 babies wheeled in buggies.done of
