Officials said they had almost totally cleared the luxury Taj Mahal hotel where gunmen had been held up for more than 24 hours. Indian security forces personnel released hostages from Nariman House in Mumbai. Thirty-nine people were rescued from the five-star Oberoi hotel, where mopping up（清理火场） operations were still underway, police said. Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said the militants had come from outside the country.”The Press Trust of India said one Pakistani militant had been arrested, although Pakistans government fiercely denied any involvement. Indian media reports said between six and nine foreign nationals were among the dead in Mumbai - including a Japanese businessman, an Australian, a Briton , a German and an Italian. At least five gunmen had been shot dead and one captured, police said. Fourteen security personnel were also killed, including the head of Mumbais anti-terror squad. To draw maximum international attention, the militants used small groups to attack a total of about a dozen targets in Indias financial hub , including the main railway station, a hospital and a restaurant popular with tourists. An unknown group calling itself the Deccan Mujahedeen claimed responsibility, with one gunman telling an Indian TV channel by phone that the outfit（装备）was of Indian origin and motivated by the treatment of Indian Muslims. Up to 327 people were reported wounded. The main Bombay Stock Exchange was closed until further notice, as were shops, schools and businesses. Prime Minister Singh said the aim had clearly been to spread panic by choosing high profile（知名度高的）targets and indiscriminately（随心所欲地）killing foreigners. Witnesses said the gunmen had been very particular in their choice of hotel hostages. They said they wanted anyone with British and American passports, said one British guest at the Taj Mahal hotel. 56. The following statements are NOT true except _. A. thirty-nine hostages were rescued from the Taj Mahal HotelB. fourteen gunmen were killed in Nariman HouseC. the target of the attack was obviously on Britons and AmericansD. an American was among the killed foreigners57. The best title of this passage can be _. A. Hostages Released by Indian Commandos B. Mumbai Under Terrorist AttackC. Islamic Militants Attacking Westerners in Mumbai D. Unfortunate Britons and Americans in MumbaiBIn 1693 the philosopher John Locke warned that children should not be given too much “unhealthy fruit” to eat. Three centuries later, misguided ideas about child-raising are still popular. Many parents fear that their children will die unless ceaselessly watched. In America the law can be equally paranoid (偏执的). In South Carolina this month Debra Harrell was jailed for letting her 9-year-old daughter play in a park unsupervised (无人监督的). Her severe punishment reflects the rich worlds worry about parenting. By most objective measures, modern parents are far more conscientious (认真的) than previous generations. Dads are more hands-on than their fathers were, and working mothers spend more time nurturing their children than the housewives of the 1960s did. However, there are two problems in this picture, connected to class. One is at the lower end. Even if poor parents spend more time with their children than they once did, they spend less than rich parents do. America is a laggard here: its government spends abundantly on school-age kids but much less than other rich countries on the first two or three years of life. If America did more to help poor parents with young children, it would have huge returns. The second one, occurs at the other end of the income scale, and may even apply to otherwise rational (理性的) Economist readers: well-educated, rich parents try to do too much. Safety is part of itthey fear that if they are not constantly watching their children may break their necks, which is the least rational. Despite the impression you get from watching crime dramas, children in rich countries are safe, so long as they look both ways before crossing the road. The other popular parental fearthat your children might not get into an Ivy League collegeis more rational. Academic success matters more than ever before. But beyond a certain point, parenting makes less difference than many parents imagine. Studies in Minnesota and Sweden, for example, found that identical twins grew up equally intelligent whether they were raised together or apart. A study in Colorado found that children that adopted and raised by brainy parents ended up no brainier than those adopted by average parents. This doesnt mean that parenting is irrelevant. The families who adopt children are carefully screened, so they tend to be warm, capable and middle-class. But the twin and adoption studies indicate that any child given a loving home and adequate stimulation is likely to fulfill her potential. Put another way, better-off parents can afford to relax a bit. And if you are less stressed, your children will appreciate it, even if you still make them eat their fruit and vegetables.58. Which of the following statements is NOT a misguided idea of parenting mentioned in the passage?A. Children should be protected from any dangers by their parentsB. The more conscientious parents are, the more children will surely benefit from parentingC. Children will die unless ceaselessly watchedD. Children are likely to fulfill their potential with a loving home and adequate stimulation59. The underlined word “laggard” in Paragraph 2 probably means a country that _.A. is ahead in development B. falls slow behind others C. is free from physical or mental disorderD. moves to a higher position 60. Which of the following can we learn from the passage? A. Only warm, capable and middle-class people can adopt a child.B. When it comes to child-raising, Economist readers will become more rational.C. Children in rich countries are in greater danger due to the bad influence of crime dramas.D. Although poor parents spend more time with their kids than they once did, they spend less than rich parents do.61. This passage is mainly written to _.A. urge American laws concerning parenting to be changedB. advise modern parents to learn from their previous generations C. persuade stressed parents to learn to relax and give more freedom to their childrenD. call on the government to do more to help poor parents with school-age childrenCIn Shanghais Grand Theater, a fashionable, mainly young audience applauds enthusiastically as Guo Yong takes center stage. He holds a large bushy tree branch with leaves. Blowing on one of the leaves, he produces a sound like the singing of birds as he plays a traditional Buyi folk song. Some other musicians are also playing the traditional instruments from various ethnic groups in China.Its the first time such music has ever been performed in the Grand Theater. But all this is the efforts of Zhu Zheqin, a Cantoneseborn singer, who has made it her mission to help preserve Chinas traditional ethnic music.In 2009, after being appointed a United Nations Development Program ambassador, Zhu traveled through some of Chinas remotest regions in an attempt to document the traditional music of various minority groups. In the course of the fourmonth trip, she recorded more than a thousand songs. But she noticed that many of the best musicians were old, and some of the music was at risk of dying out.“I was shocked by the beauty of what I heardit was so good，” she says. “But it needed support. I hope to let people see the beauty of these things in the contemporary times.”So Zhu decided to introduce some of the musicians to a wider audience. By doing this, she hopes to rekindle(点燃) the interest of the younger generation. “Young people dont like this music much; they prefer pop music and love songs. They think these songs are something their grandma sings. This kind of repackaging gives young people a new door into their heritage.”Zhu believes China needs to look again at its own roots. “China today is basically all Western art; in our conservatories (音乐学院) Western classical music is the top，” she says. “For China to really contribute to the world, we need to go on our own path. So what can represent China today？” The answer, she suggests, is to move from “made in China” to “created in China”62From the first paragraph, we learn that_Athe audience are all young people BGuo Yong i
