They were required to choose three main reasons from seven dealing with persona l interests, family relations and social responsibility（责任）. Each number in the form is the percentage（%）of parents who chose that particular item（项）as one of their three reasons. Therefore, the most common for Japanese parents are strengthening family ties（Item D, 51%），learning from the experience（Item E, 60%），and raising responsible citizens（ItemG, 45%）.ItemsJapanKoreaU.S.ABritainFranceA.

The percentage of French parents selecting the reason“to see oneself continuing infuture”is about as high as that of the other countries.BThe volcano is one of the most surprising frightening forces of nature. Maybe you have seen pictures of these “fireworks”of nature. Sometimes when a volcano erupts, a very large wall of melted rock moves down the side of a mountain. It looks like a“river of fire. ”Sometimes volcanoes explode, throwing the melted rock and ashes（灰）high into the air. But where does this melted rock come from?The earth is made up of many layers（层）. The top layer that we see is called the crust. Under the crust there are many layers of hard rock. But far, far beneath the crust whose rock is so hot, that it is soft. In some places it even melts. The melted rock is called magma. Sometimes the magma breaks out to the surface through cracks（爆裂声）in the crust. These cracks are volcanoesMost people think of mountains when they think of volcanoes. But not every mountain is a volcano. A volcano is simply the opening in the earth from which the magma escapes. The hot magma, or lava as it is called, cools and builds up on the surface of the earth. Over thousands of years, this pile of cooled lava can grow to be very, very big. For example, the highest mountain in Africa, Kilimanjaro, is a volcano. It towers more than 16, 000 feet above the ground around it.40The underlined word“erupts” means _. A. moves down B. breaks away C. builds up D. suddenly throws out lava41Which words in the passage have the same meaning as “melted rock”? A. “Volcano” and“ explode” B. “Grust”and“hard rock” C. “magma”and“lava” D. “ Volcano” and“ magma”42Which is the correct order of the layers of the earth（beginning with the top layer）?

Kilimanjaro Volcano C. The Mountains D. The Melted RockCThe food we eat seems to have far-reaching effects on our health. Although science has made great steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Soma research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially the colon（结肠）cancer. Different cultures are more likely to cause certain different illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945，government researchers realized that carcinogenic（致癌的）nitrates（硝酸盐），commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives（添加剂），caused cancer. Yet, these additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives, which we eat, are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin （青霉素）to cows and other living animals, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows. Sometime, similar drugs are given to animals not for medical purposes, but for financial reason. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.44What is the best possible title of the passage? A. Drug and Health. B. Food and Illness. C. Food and Culture. D. Health and Science.45Which of the following statements is Not true? A. Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons. B. Some of the additives in our food are added directly to the food and some are given toliving animals. C. Researchers have realized the possible dangers of food additives for over fifty years. D. Food may cause 40of cancer in the world.46How has science done something harmful to mankind? A. Because of science, diseases caused by contaminated（被污染的）food have been actuallyreduced. B. It has caused a lack of information concerning the food. C. Due to the application of science, some potentially harmful substances（物质）have beenadded to food. D. It causes the animals to become fatter.D Children love to send and receive e-mails. The same with electronic greeting cards, for Valentines Day or many other occasions.E-cards are available for free or the Internet. Most electronic greeting card sites give you a wide selection of choices and let you personalize your card.Unlike with traditional printed cards, you dont schlep （吃力地行走）to a card store to make your selection, you dont fork out any money, delivery is immediate, theres no postage required and you are not using paper.But the best thing about these cards is that they animate and play music, which makes them very cool to kids.Most electronic greeting card sites are similar in setup.
