There are still many families without cars, but some families have two or more. However, cars are used for more than pleasure. They are a necessary part of life.Cars are used for business. They are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other way to get to their jobs. When salesmen are sent to different parts of the city, they have to drive in order to carry their products. Farmers have to drive into the city in order to get supplies.Sometimes small children must be driven to school. In some cities school buses are used only when children live more than a mile away from the school. When the children are too young to walk too far, their mothers take turns driving them to school. One mother drives on Mondays taking her own children and the neighbors as well. Another mother drives on Tuesdays, another on Wednesday, and so on. This is called forming a car pool. Men also form car pools, with three or four men taking turns driving to the place where they all work.More car pools should be formed in order to put fewer cars on the road and use less gas.

It was my duty to help her get it done. One night she worked until midnight doing homework. I felt annoyed, but I didnt want the teacher to think I was lazy, so I never complained. I wasnt sure, but it seemed to me that five hours of homework was a bit too much for a fifth grade student. Later, I found out that parents and educators have discussed about homework for more than a century. Parents who like more homework want to give their children every advantage to succeed in todays world. Some educators see homework as a way to help students perform better in tests. Other parents dislike the recent trend (趋势) toward more homework. They dont want to stay up until midnight helping their children. They would prefer to spend their time going to the park or reading some really good books with their children. Added to the opposition are those who say that homework increases the gap (差距) between the rich and the poor, since middle class families do better when it comes to helping their children with their homework. So, who is right? Is homework an enemy or a help? According to experts the truth lies somewhere in the middle.64. The author thought that her daughters homework _.

Firefighter David Smith was called in after the 6-year-olds teachers and mother had failed to get him down from the balcony. He was asking for his mother, Smith said. He was crying, and wouldnt let any of us get near him. After hearing a conversation between the boys mother and his teachers about his love of superheroes (超级英雄), Smith hurried home to get his Spiderman(蜘蛛人) clothes. I told him Spiderman is here to save you. No one will hurt you now, Smith said. Then I told him to walk slowly toward me. I was really nervous that he might fall if he got too excited and started running. Then the crying boy broke into a smile and walked into the firemans arms.

E According to some researchers, you should not praise children for everything that they do. It does not help them build self-confidence. Most parents and teachers agree that praise can help increase childrens self-confidence the more, the better. However, according to some researchers, only proper praise is good for children. If adults praise everything children do, it makes children look for praise all the time, not trying to do their best. Teachers should not say things like good job or nice work whenever a child does anything. They should encourage them to continue to improve, some researchers advise. Another idea is that children with high self-confidence are happier, and do better at school. About this, Marshall Duke, a researcher in children, says, High self-confidence brought in by too much praise does not make children happier, get more, or become able to do more. Finding a childs advantages (强项) and developing them can help build confidence more than too much praise can. Praise also loses its effect (影响) if it is given equally to all students. Its important to tell children the truth about what theyve done. Honest feedback (反馈) is far better than empty praise, Duke adds. People have got into the habit of not telling children when theyre wrong. That makes it hard for them to deal with difficulties when they grow up. Thats just how the world is.72. According to some researchers, if parents praise their children too much, their children will _.A. always look for praise B. increase self-confidenceC. become strong D. do better in their studies73. In order to help children build self-confidence, some researchers advise parents to _.A. make them live more happily B. let them do more difficult workC. help them do better in school D. encourage them to improve74. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?A. Praise makes children become successful.B.
