Some children and parents encourage a lot of talks about boyfriends and girlfriends.”“We believe that such ideas should wait until children are mature enough emotionally and socially to understand the commitment involved in having or being a boyfriend or girlfriend.”Mr. Turner said any families wanting to support the Valentines Day concept should send cards in the post or deliver them to home addresses by hand.His views were endorsed by Ruth Rice, 46, who has twins Harriet and Olivia, nine, at the school.She said: “Children at that age shouldnt really be thinking about Valentines Day, and they should be concentrating on their schoolwork.“They are at an age when they are easily influenced and most parents including myself are with Mr. Turner.”She added that the cards cause too much competition. If someone gets a card and another doesnt then someone will be disappointed.However, Rajeev Takyar, 40, who runs a local newsagent, and has two children Jai, 11, and Aryan, five, at the school, said he was “genuinely outraged”.He said: There are schools that have banned conkers and snowballs, and now Valentines Cards.I think banning the cards stops children from having social skills. How are they going to learn about relationships otherwise? Its ridiculous.”Alec Suttenwood, founder of the Anti-Political Correctness group, said of the ban: “Its totally ridiculous. Young children just send the cards to each other as friends and to their parents. Its just a bit of harmless fun. There is no difference between this and Mothers or Fathers Day.”56. The underlined word “confiscated” in Paragraph 3 can probably be replaced by _.A. collectedB. destroyedC. taken awayD. burnt away57. Ruth Rice was in favor of Mr. Turners view in that _.A. children like to compare Valentines Day cardsB. children should focus their mind on their lessonsC. sending holiday cards wastes both time and money来源:学+科+网D. making friends had a negative influence on children58. What is the best title of the text?A. School bans Valentines Day cards.B. Shall we send Valentines Day cards?C. Different opinions on Valentines Day cards.D. Parents concern about Valentines Day cardsBIf cars had wings，they could fly and that just might happen, beginning in 2011.The company Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to deliver its car-plane, the Transition, to customers by the end of 2012.“Its the next wowvehicle，”said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh. “Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris dont fly.”The car plane has wings that unfold for flyinga process the company says takes one minuteand fold back up for driving. A runway is still required to take off and land.The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies, although it is both. The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly. They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports: You drive the car to the airport and then youre good to go. When you land, you fold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive parking fees because you dont have to store it at an airportyou park it in the garage at home.The car-plane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet. It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds, including fuel and passengers. Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under bad weather instead of flying into marginal(临界)conditions.The Transitions price tag: $194,000, But there may be additional charges for options like a radio, transponder or GPS. Another option is a full-plane parachute.“If you get into a very awful situation, it is the necessary safety option,” Gersh said.So far, the company has more than 70 orders with deposits. “We re working very closely with them, but there are still some remaining steps,” Brown said.59.We can learn from the first paragraph that _.A. car-planes will be popular in 2012 B. people might drive a car-plane in 2012C. both Transition and Ferrari can take off and landD. Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts60.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. The car-plane needs a runway to take off and land.B. To meet aircraft regulations, the company has been working with FAA.C. The car-plane may fly as high as normal planes.D. People can park the car-plane in the garage at their home.61.The underlined word “it” in the last but one paragraph refers to _ .A. the radio B. the transponder C. the GPS D. the full-plane parachute62.Whats the best title for the passage?A. Cars With Wings May Be Just Around The Corner.B. Which to Choose: A Ferrari or a Car Plane?C. A more Convenient and Cheaper Way to Fly.D. Cars With Wings Can Fly as Fast as Planes.CInternet use appears to cause a drop in psychological health, according to research at Carnegie Mellon University. Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more bad feelings and loneliness than those who was online less frequently, the two-year study showed. Researchers are puzzling over the results, which were completely contrary to their expectations. They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television, since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others. The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may account for the drop in psychological health, researchers hypothesized (推测). Faceless, bodiless “virtual”(虚的) communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation, and the relationships formed through it may be shallower. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world through the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives. “But it s important to remember this is not about the technology, it s about how it is used,” says psychologist Christine Riley of Intel, one of the study s sponsors (发起人). It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how you design applications and services for technology.63. What had the researchers expected before the research?A. The Net may account for the drop in psychological health.B. Internet use may improve psychological health.C. Internet use has nothing to do with psychological health.D. Spending much time on the Internet makes people feel bad and lonely.64. What does Christine Riley, the psychologist, suggest?A. Its necessary to take social factors into account in designing applications and services for technology.B. Its important to tell the users how to design and apply the technology.C. Compared with social factors, the technology itself has more influence on the Internet users.D. No social factors should be considered in applications and services for technology.65. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage?A. How to Use the Internet B. Disadvantages of the InternetC. Social Factors and the Internet D. Internet May Cause Bad FeelingsDIn bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the childs acquisition(学会)of each new skill the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is common that parents hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, and a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm(热情) for life and his desire to find out new things for himself. Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters; others are severe over time of coming home at night or punctuality(准时) for meals. In general, the controls imposed(强加的) represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community(社区) as much as the childs own happiness. As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality. Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practise what
