SportsB That our students rarely get the opportunity to use their imagination was an open secret among Chinese people. Now, a global survey has brought it to the notice of the rest of the world. The survey covering 21 countries, conducted by International Educational Progress Evaluation Organization, showed Chinese students excelled at math, beating their peers from other countries. But when it came to using their imagination, they were tied for the last place. And in creativity, they were fifth from the bottom. The survey results are not shocking, given the way our children are taught in schools and at home. But they are a severe reminder to our educators and parents to improve their ways. Chinese students rarely get the time or chance to use their imagination. Right from the day they enter school they are pushed into a culture of exams and more exams. Teachers and parents teach them that education is all about passing these exams with flying colors. And to pass those exams, they are made to learn by fixed standard answers. Teachers dare not encourage students to think outside the box. Teachers dont like students questioning them, killing the curiosity of the young minds. For children, theres hardly any room for bright ideas either in class or at home. Israel shares the values of education with China. But there is a world of difference between the way Israeli parents treat their children and we do. Israeli parents do not mollycoddle their children. Instead, they encourage them to learn how to live independently. In contrast, Chinese parents go to extremes, allowing their children to do whatever they like to do and punishing them severely the next for committing a “mistake”. The global study should make us swing into action and help our students to throw open their young minds to imagination and creativity. It is time our education officials and educators asked themselves what they should do to let our childrens imagination and creativity blossom.61. Based on the text, the creativity of the Chinese students ranks _ among the 21countries. A. the 5th B. the 17th C. the 2lst D. the 1st62. Why is the imagination of the Chinese students so poor? A.

It can be learned from the text Israeli parents_. A. lay much more emphasis on education than Chinese ones B. allow their children to live in whatever way they like C. focus more attention on developing their childrens living ability D. encourage their children to commit mistakes in lives65. Israel is introduced in the text mainly_. A. to enrich the content of the text B. to support and advocate Israel education C. to illustrate the disadvantages of Chinese education D. to criticize the wrong behavior of Chinese parentsCThe biggest safety threat facing airlines today may not be a terrorist（恐布分子） with a gun, but the man with the portable computer in business class. In the last 15 years, pilots have reported well over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic（电磁） interference（干扰）. The source of this interference remains unconfirmed, but increasingly, experts are pointing the blame at portable electronic device such as portable computers, radio and cassette players and mobile telephones.RTCA, an organization which advises the aviation（航空）industry, has recommended that all airlines ban（禁止）such devices from being used during “critical” stages of flight, particularly take-off and landing. Some experts have gone further, calling for a total ban during all flights. Currently, rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines. And although some airlines prohibit （禁止）passengers from using such equipment during take-off and landing, most are reluctant to enforce a total ban, given that many passengers want to work during flights.The difficulty is prediction how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircrafts computers. Experts know that portable device emit radiation which affects those wavelengths which aircraft use for navigation and communication. But, because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a laboratory, they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerous or not. The fact that aircraft may be vulnerable（易受损的）to interference raises the risk that terrorists may use radio systems in order to damage navigation equipment. As worrying, though, is the passenger who cant hear the instructions to turn off his radio because the music is too loud . 66The passage is mainly about .Aeffective safety measure of aircraft crashesBa possible cause for air flight accidentsCthe defects（缺点）of electronic devicesDa new regulation for all airlines67What is said about the over 100 aircraft incidents in the past 15 years?AThey may have taken place during take-off and landing.BThey may have been caused by the damage to the radio systems.CThey were suspected to have resulted from electromagnetic interference.DThey were proved to have been caused by the passengers portable computers.68Few airlines want to impose（强加）a total ban on their passengers using electronic devices because . Athey have other effective safety measures to fall back onBthey dont believe there is such a danger as radio interference Cthe harmful effect of electromagnetic interference is yet to be provedDmost passengers refuse to take a plane which bans the use of radio and cassette players69Why is it difficult to predict the possible effects of electromagnetic fields on an airplanes computers?ABecause experts lack adequate equipment to d such research.BBecause it is extr
