If they can 36 it, they can 37 send them to the best universities. But they must not feel guilty(有罪责的) if they cant. if the children really want to go , they will find a 38. There are plenty of loans and scholarships for the bright and 39 ones who cant afford to pay.When children grow up and want to 40, their parents do not owe them a down payment（贷款） on a house. They do not have the 41 to baby-sit their grandchildren. If they want to do it, it must be considered a 42 not an obligation（责任，义务）.Do parents owe their children 43 ? Yes, they owe them a great deal.One of their obligations is to give their children a personal 44. A child who is constantly made to feel stupid and unworthy constantly 45 to brighter brothers , sisters, or cousins will become so 46 , so afraid of failing that he or she wont try at all. Of course they should be 47 corrected when they do wrong, but its often better to let children learn their mistakes by themselves 48. All our parents should do is to trust them , respect them ,tolerate（宽容）them and give them chances to try and fail. They must learn to stand 49. When criticisms（批评）are really needed , they should be 50 with praises , with a smile and a kiss. That is the way children learn.Parents owe their children a set of solid values around which to build their 51 . This means teaching them to 52 the rights and opinions of others; it means being respectful to elders, to teachers, and to the law. The best way to teach such values is by 53 . A child who is lied to will lie. A child who sees no laughter and no love in his home will have 54 laughing and loving.No child asked to be 55. If you bring a life into the world, you owe the child something.36.A. findB. getC. affordD. receive37.A. graduallyB. certainlyC. hardlyD. finally38.A. supplyB. helpC. handD. way39.A. handsomeB. honestyC. eagerD. wealthy40.A. get marriedB. get a jobC. go abroad D. live alone41.A. timeB. rightC. dutyD. energy42.A. favorB. funC. habitD. service43.A. anythingB. something C. nothingD. everything44.A. worthB. hobbyC. bookD. radio45.A. broughtB. comparedC. forced D. taken46.A. unsureB. unusualC. unknown D. unfair47.A. properlyB. slowlyC. nearlyD. impossibly48.A.in no timeB. in time C. at once D. right now49.A. failure B. honorC. progressD. test50.A. disappointedB. satisfied C. sad D. balanced51.A. positionsB. livesC. family D. knowledge52.A. considerB. refuseC. respectD. know53.A. lawB. timeC. wordD. deed54.A. pleasure B. difficulty C. funD. freedom55.A. praisedB. aloneC. born D. poor第三部分：阅读理解（40分）AIn the United States, it is important to be on time , or punctual , for an appointment , a class, a meeting, etc. However, this may not be true in all countries. An American professor discovered the difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian（巴西的） university. The two-hour class was scheduled to begin at 10 A.M. and end at 12. On the first day , when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 10:30 A.M. Two students came after 11 A.M. Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologized(道歉)for their latenessWere these students being rude? He decided to study the students behavior.The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation：at a lunch with a friend and in a university class, respectivelyHe gave them an example and asked them how they would react, If they had a lunch appointment with a friend，the average American student defined lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time，On the other handthe average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after 33 minutesIn an American university, students are expected to arrive at the appointed hourIn contrast, in Brazil，neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hourClasses not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States，but also end at the scheduled timeIn the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at 12：00；many remained past 12：30 to discuss the class and ask more questionsWhile arriving late may not be very important in Brazil , neither is staying late56. The wordpunctualmost probably means_.A1eaving soon after class Bcoming earlyCarriving a few minutes late Dbeing on time57. Why did the professor study the Brazilian studentsbehavior?AHe felt puzzled at the students being lateBHe felt angry at the students rudenessCHe wanted to make the students come on time laterDHe wanted to collect data for one of his studies58. It can be inferred from the professors study of lateness in the informal situation that_AAmerican students will become impatient if their friend is five minutes lateBneither Brazilian nor American students like being late in social gatheringsCbeing late in one culture may not be considered so in another cultureDBrazilian students will not come thirty-three minutes after the agreed time59. From the last paragraph we know that in Brazil_.A. it is important to arrive at the appointed timeBit is rude to keep the professor staying after classCit is normal for students to leave during lecturesDit is acceptable for professors to be late for class60. What is the main idea of this passage?A.It is important to be on time for class in the United StatesB. The importance of being on time differs among culturesCPeople learn the importance of time only from their own cultureDStudents being late for class should explain the reason to their teacherBFor the first time in Hong Kongs history，an entertainer has been written into middle school textbooks. He is considered one of the best actors in Hong Kong. Yes，he is Chow Yun fatThe example of his long hard struggle for success has been used in a chapter in a Hong Kong middle school textbookUsing his experience，students can learn to make the most of their time and to grab every opportunity to succeedOn hearing about this，Chow said happily，“I really hope that my experiences can make young people understand that one should not be afraid of difficulties and setbacks（挫折），for they are the only way to success”Indeed，Chow has travelled a long and difficult path to reach his successIn 1955，he was born into a poor family in Hong Kong. When he was 17，he had to leave schoolHe worked in a number of jobsas a postman，camera salesman and taxi driver. These experiences paved the way for him to play all kinds of roles later in lifeChow broke into the film industry in the late 1970s. He was one of the hardest working actors and starred in a number of popular TV dramas and films including “Shanghai Bund”（上海滩） and “A Better Tomorrow” Since 1985， he has won many awards including Taiwans Golden Horse Awards and Hong Kong Film Awards .In 1995, he went to Hollywood Although he was already in his 40s, he had to learn EnglishHe even put chopsticks in his mouth to practise pronouncing certain sounds. His film, “Crouching Tiger，Hidden Dragon”，began to gain him more fame and recognition around the worldIn 1998，the mayor of Chicago set aside January 12 as “Chow Yun fat Day.”61.

She recounts in detail how she used to be told to respect her elders and betters. She was taught to speak when she went out on her own, she was reminded to say please and thank you. Children in her days, she continues, were expected to be seen and not heard , but these days you are lucky if you ever hear parents telling their children to mind her manners.If you give her the chance she then takes out of her writing desk the old photograph album which she keeps there, and which she never tires of displaying. Of course when you look at pictures of her parents you feel sure that , with a father as strict looking as that , you too would have been “seen and not heard”. Besides him sits his wife , with their children around her, Granny and her elder brothers. It always occurs to me that perhaps those long, stiff, black clothes were so burdensome to a little girl that she hadnt enough breath left to be talkative, let alone mischievous（淘气的）. It must have been a dull and lonely life too, for she stayed mainly at home during her childhood, while her brothers were sent to school from an early age.However, my childhood was much freer than Grannys. I went to school with my brother. I played football with him and his friends . We all spoke a common language , and we got up to the same mischief. I would have dies if I had to stay indoors , wearing tight , stiff clothes.65. The writer thinks that her grandmother _.A. make mistakes about the youth. B. complains too much about her childhoodC. receive good education at school D. led an unhappy life when she was a child66. When Granny was young , children were expected _.A. to speak to the elders loudly B. to learn dancingC. to be present quietly D. to stay still and study and be themselves67. This passage is mainly about _.A. Grannys life story in he past B. Grannys complaints about the childrenC. womens life in different times D. children in the past and at presentDMy name is Christopher. My family came to America before I was born . In two weeks I am going to be married , and my Fiancee (未婚妻) , Samantha, and expect to be very happy. We do not plan to have honeymoon because we want to spend two weeks setting up our own new business as real estate agents（房地产代理商）.My mother , who is very traditional （传统的）, says that our plans are unreasonable. She thinks that we should just spend two weeks on a holiday in the Caribbean . In her days , and in the old country , young couples didnt start business together. Instead the man went out to work , and the wife stayed home to raise a family.Both Samantha and I want children in the future , and together we plan to raise them . Needless to say, our plans and my mothers views dont agree . I suppose its hard for my mother and father to understand our point of view. They are used to another way of setting up a marriage and a life.Another thing that worries my parents is the fact that Samantha and I are going to be spending seven days a week on our business until it is running smoothly. As my mother has pointed out to us, such a timetable will leave us little time for socializing or for a night in the town. My mother says a young couple should enjoy themselves and get to know each other under less exciting conditions.Actually. Samantha and I know each other pretty well. We both work hard for our goals, and neither of us minds giving up weekends for a while. We are young and enthusiastic（热心于事业的）.68.
