When the children are old enough, they take part_1_.Foreigners are often surprised by the permissiveness of American parents. The old rule that children should be seen and not heard is rarely_2_, and children are often allowed to do what they wish without strict parental_3_. The father seldom expects his children to obey him_4_ question, and children are encouraged to be independent_5_ an early age. Some people believe that American parents carry this freedom_6_ far. Others think that a strong father image would not_7_ the American values of equality and independence. Because Americans emphasize the importance of independence, young people are expected to _8_ their parental families by the time they have_9_ their late teens or early twenties._10_, not to do so is often regarded as a failure, a kind of weak dependence.This pattern of independence often results in serious_11_ for the aging parents of a small family. The average American is expected to live _12_ the age of 70. The job-retirement age is _13_ 65. The children have left home, married, and _!4_ their own households. At least 20 percent of all people over 65 do not have enough retirement incomes._15_ the major problem of many elderly couples is not economic.

There are countries _1_ the white man imposes his rule by brute force; there are countries where the black man protests by _2_ fire to cities and by looting and pillaging. Important people on both sides, who would in other respects appear to be _3_ men, get up and calmly argue _4_ violence- -as if it were a legitimate solution, like any other. What is really frightening, what really fills you _5_ despair, is the realization that when it comes to the crunch, we have made no actual progress _6_. We may wear collars and ties instead of war-paint, but our instincts remain basically unchanged. The whole of the _7_ history of the human race, that tedious documentation of violence, has taught us absolutely nothing. We have still not learnt that violence never _8_ a problem but makes it more acute. The sheer horror, the bloodshed and the suffering _9_ nothing. No solution ever comes to light the morning after when we dismally contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder _10_ hit us.The truly reasonable men who know where the solutions _11_ are finding it harder and harder to get a hearing. They are despised, mistrusted and even persecuted by their own _12_ because they advocate such apparently outrageous things _13_ law enforcement. If half the energy that goes into violent acts were _14_, if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the slums and ghettos, at improving living-standards and providing education and employment _15_ all, we would have gone a long way to arriving at a solution.EXERCISE:1.

Rates of skin cancer are（4）highest in people over age 75.But experts worry that increasing numbers of younger people being diagnosed with skin cancer could be the（ 5 ）of a dangerous trend. Women（6 ）their 20s make up a small percentage of all patients diagnosed with melanoma in Britain, but nearly a third of all cases occur in people younger than 50.Based on current numbers, Cancer Research UK predicts that melanoma will become the fourth most common cancer for men and women of all（7）by 2024, and that cases will jump from about 9,000 cases a year to more than 15,500 Cancer experts（8）the rising number of skin cancer cases largely to the surge in people using tanning salons. Spending time on sunbeds is just（9） dangerous as staying out too long in the sun, said Caroline Cerny of Cancer Research UK. The organization is starting a SunSmart campaign to warn Britons of the（10）of being too bronzed.The intensity of UV rays in some sunbeds can be more than 10 times（11）than the midday sun, Cerny said.In the United States, several states require parental approval（12 ）minors can use tanning salons. Wisconsin bans people 16 and（13） from using tanning beds, and others ban children under（14）. At least 29 states have -regulations governing minors use of tanning salons.In the U. K. , Scottish politicians passed legislation banning those under 18 from using tanning beds, though it hasnt yet been implemented. There are no plans for 14 in the rest of the U.K.The World Health Organization has previously recommended that tanning beds be regulated because of their potential to damage DNA in the skin.Experts said most deadly skin cancers could be（15） if people took the proper precautions when in the sun and avoided tanning beds.练习：1.

With no difference between his products and the products _1_ his competitors, he will sell nothing if he charges above the market price and he will sell all if he charges at or _2_ the market price. However, in considering the price, he must take cost of production _3_. There are times when he may be willing to sell below his cost. This might happen when prices tumble for _4_ a short time. However, no business person can _5_ lose money for a prolonged period. He must _6_ of his costs in relation to the market price if he is to compete successfully and earn a profit.职称日语考试Many people have the impression that as production increases, costs per unit decrease. _7_ mass production has made this true in certain industries and at certain levels of production, _8_ logic and practical experience have shown that costs per unit begin to rise beyond a certain level of production. Some economists _9_ this principle as the law of increasing costs.The reason _10_ rise as production goes up is complex. However, it is easy to recognize that as production goes up, the need for additional factors of production will also grow, resulting _11_ competitive bidding in the marketplace for the factors of production. If a producer needs _12_ skilled labor to produce more, and none of this labor is unemployed, the producer will have to get _13_ from other sources. This can be done by _14_ higher wages. Higher bidding would also apply to the other factors of production. We must also recognize that not all labor is equally productive, _15_ not all land is equally fertile and not all ore is equally rich in the mineral wanted.1. A) to B) at C) of D) on2.

B Friends May Be Key to Living Longer（6）朋友可能是关键，更长的寿命（6)Looking for the secret of a long life? Look closely at your friends. New research suggests that having a strong network of friends helps people live longer.Older people with better social networks of friends were less likely to _(1)over a 10-year follow-up (随访) period than older people with _(2) friends networks， Lynne C. Giles of Flinders University in Australia told Reuters Health.But in what may come as a surprising finding to older people _(3) rely on their children and other relatives， having a large network of relatives was not associated with longer life， according _(4) Giles and her colleagues.Of course， that is not to say that social networks _(5) children and other relatives are not important in many other ways， Giles said.Study after study has shown that elderly people who _(6) connected with lots of people tend to live longer lives. _(7)， few studies have examined whether different types of relationships - with friends， partners， children and _(8) relatives - have different effects on longevity (长寿).Giless team set out to examine the relationship between various types of social networks and _(9) in a group of almost 1，500 Australians who were at least 70 years _(10). Volunteers answered _(11) about their social networks and then were followed for 10 years.The researchers took into account several factors that could have influenced how long a person lived，_(12) sex， age， health and smoking status.What the study showed was _(13) older people who reported better social networks of friends were _(14) likely to be alive at the end of the study than people with fewer friends.But relationships with children and other relatives did not have _(15) effect on survival in the study.1 A die B live C work D stay2 A stronger B larger C poorer D newer3 A which B whom C who D those4 A to B at C on D by5 A by B on C in D of6 A are B is C was D were7 A However B Once C Further D Moreover8 A older B richer C other D some9 A longevity B loneliness C activity D happiness10 A big B long C ago D old11 A questions B doubts C studies D tests12 A including B taking C accepting D offering13 A if B when C that D this 14 A more B less C very D most15 A each B every C all D an答案：1.

D Public and Private Schools in the Unite States(7)在美国，公立和私立学校（7）Religious and private schools receive little or no support from public taxes in the Unite States, and, as a result, are usually somewhat expensive to_1_. The largest group of religious schools in America _2_ by the Roman Catholic Church. While religious schools tend to be_3_ expensive than private schools, there are usually some fees.When there is free education available to all children in the Unite States, why do people _4_ money on private schools? Americans offer_5_ great variety of reasons for doing so, including the desire of some parents to _6_ their children to schools _7_ classes tend to be smaller, or where religious instruction is included as part of the educational program, or because, _8_ their opinion, the public schools in their area are not _9_ high enough quality to meet their needs. Private schools in the Unite States _10_ widely in size, quality, and in the kind of program that are offered to meet _11_ of certain students.The degree _12_ American parents are active in their childrens schools is often _13_ to people of other countries. Most schools have organizations _14_ of both parents and teachers, usually called P.T.A for Parent-Teacher-Association. They meet together to _15_ various matters concerning the school. Parents often give their time to help with classroom or after school activities.1.A) go B) attend C) take part in D) enroll2.

From the earliest time it was _1_ common knowledge to the Peruvians that when a cut was made in the outside skin of a rubber tree, a white liquid _2_ milk came out, and that _3_ this a sticky mass of rubber might be made.
