Xiaohong the spokesperson for the Beijing Municipal Health Bureau said rapid social changes is one of the reasons behind the rising number of youngsters with psychological problems If these mental diseases are not addressed on time occurrence of crimes drug taking and other dangerous behaviors are expected to rise Experts said mental diseases could be caused by many factors such as the inability to handle interpersonal relations well unstable emotions and pressures from an overload of studies A number of experts have also said the one child policy is another reason leading to poor mental health in the young Children are said to be too spoiled and selfish in a one child family It s reported that schools in many cities are rolling out measures to help students maintain their mental well being Yin Jingmiao a teacher of the Beijing NO 105 Middle School told China Daily that the school invites psychologists to provide counseling to students three times a month Students can

his mouth and feet to repair a watch He completed the task in just a few minutes at the show which was held in Beijing last Saturday Just imagine the tiny parts that make up a watch You have to wonder how the disabled man developed such a skill It was reported that 28 year old Wang Jianghai lost his arms in an accident when he was five and began learning to repair watches at the age of 17 He has repaired more than 10 000 watches in the past 11 years What strong self confidence he must have to overcome the difficulties in getting this skill What optimism he must have to face the unfairness of his hard life And what strong determination he must have to go through the hardship in his struggle for a normal life Such confidence optimism and willpower are exactly the qualities many physically healthy people lack nowadays Wang has set a good example for young people But today s youth seem to be more interested with their TV stars and pop singers but less interested in learning from the examples of working and studying hard to achieve higher goals That is undoubtedly the result of the influence of a changing social atmosphere One must admit that there is a trend towards hedonism in our society People are increasingly more concerned about material gains than about spiritual pursuits While adults know they must work hard whatever way they choose to materialize the gains the younger generation are more likely to seek ease and comforts of their senses This pleasure seeking trend provides a huge market for the entertainment industry and the mass media The media devote excessive too much coverage to anecdotes of pop and TV stars which in turn fans wider and stronger enthusiasm for entertainment among the public especially young people Ours is a developing country Global competition in the growth of national strength presents a demand for China to be quicker in its development We cannot afford to lose time We need to make our economy more powerful To meet this need all of us should maintain our tradition of working hard and overcoming difficulties 49 A particular mention made of Wang Jianghai s story in the first two paragraphs A serves as a description of the trend todayB serves as an introduction to the discussion C shows a disagreement of viewsD show the popularity of the TV stars and pop singers 50 Which of the following is the reason for young people s increasing interest in entertainment A Young people are taught by adults to seek pleasure of senses B Young people have given up our traditional value of hard working completely C Young people are not interested in learning from the examples of hard working at all D Young people are far too much influenced by too much entertainment news in media 51 The underlined word hedonism paragraph 4 means A a materialB spiritual gains C thinking pleasure is the most importantD amusement D Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public Not only does he want to say it well but he wants it to be something which has not been said before He hopes the public will listen and understand he wants to teach them and he wan to them to learn from him What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain because translate their experiences into shapes and colors not word They seem to fell that a certain selection of shapes and colors out of the countless billions possible is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and response their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at that they contain beautiful sights Contemporary artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern that there is noting more in it Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects If one painter chooses to paint a decaying 腐烂的 leg and another a lake in moonlight each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world Each painter is telling us something showing us something emphasizing something all of which means that consciously or unconsciously he is trying to teach us 52 It is hard to understand a painting because A the artist wants to teach the others B a painter uses shapes and colors instead of works C the painter doesn t express his idea well enough D the painting is meaningless 53 A painter uses certain shapes and colors because he feels that they A haven t been used before B are worth showing to the public C are interesting to them D haven t been noticed by the public 54 Implied but not stated A paintings are more easily understood than music B to find what the artist is saying we must look beyond the shape and color C painting is only the arranging of shape and color D all artists are trying to teach something to the public 55 Why do painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain A Because painters cannot express themselves clearly in words B Because painters change their into shapes and colors not words C Because people cannot understand painters words D Because people are not interested in what painters want to tell us 56 Where do most artists take their shapes and colors A From nature B From human bodies in motion and repose C From artists own imagination D Both A and B E

are no existing drugs that can kill AIDS virus It is a deadly battle between science and AIDS This is only one side of the story Although it can not be cured AIDS is preventable For those who have not

rise in China and statistics show that young people are the more likely victims of AIDS Nationwide there are 214 million people between the ages of 13 and 22 most of whom are students If no measures are taken to protect these young people it is almost certain that the threat of AIDS will be very real to them There has been a great deal of misinformation concerning the transmission of AIDS One of the most misleading myths is that AIDS can be transmitted by casual physical contact such as kissing shaking hands or sharing food container Surveys and investigations conducted in some universities and colleges show that half of those people questioned are not clear about how AIDS is transmitted not to mention how it is prevented This is the driving force behind the State Education Department s

how people become AIDS victims D Many college students did not mention AIDS prevention in the surveys and investigations 60 What is the best title
