Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the bes

26、t schools or even abroad to England , the United States or Australia . They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will learn a musical instrument or ballet or other classes which will give them a head start in life . The Chinese believe that the more expensive an educat

27、ion is , the better it is . So the parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.Parents can s

28、ee that their childrens skills vary , skilled in some areas while poor in others . What most parents fail to realize though , is that todays children lack self-respect and self-confidence.The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to st

29、udy well , but parents arent teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident , happy and clever.Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking , sewing and doing housework . Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that the will need later in lif

30、e . Cooking demands patience and time . Its an enjoyable but difficult experiment . A good cook always tries to improve his cooking , so he will learn to work hard and gradually to finish his job successfully . His result , a well-cooked dinner , will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-con

31、fidence.Some old machines , such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your children to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest He will spend hours looking at them , trying to fix them ; your child might become an engineer when he grows up . These activities arent merely teaching

32、 a child to read a book , but rather to think , to use his mind . And that is more important.56. Parents in China , according to this passage , . A. are too strict with their children B. are too rich to educate their childrenC. have some problems in educating their children correctlyD. are too poor

33、to educate their children57. Generally speaking , childrens skills . A. come from their parents B. have nothing to do with their educationC. may be different D. have something to do with their marks in the exams58.

A. learn how to serve their parents B. learn how to become strong and fatC. benefit from it and prepare themselves for the future D. make their parents believe that

A. broken radios and television sets are usefulB. ones curiosity may be useful for his later lifeC. an engineer must fix many broken radiosD. a good student should spend much time repairing radios BMost people think zoos ar

36、e safe for animals , where struggles such as difficulty in finding food and avoiding natural enemies dont exist . Without such problems , animals in zoos should live to an old age . But that may not be true for the largest land animals on earth . Scientists have known that elephants in zoos often su

37、ffer from poor health . They develop diseases and behaviour changes . Sometimes , they even become infertile , or unable to have babies .To learn more about how elephants are affected , a team of international scientists compared the life spans of elephants born in zoos with those living outdoors in

38、 their native lands . Zoos keep detailed records of all the animals , such as birth dates , illnesses , weight and death . These records made it possible for the researchers to analyse 40 years of data on 800 African and Asian elephants in zoos across Europe . The team found that female African elep

39、hants born in zoos lived an average of 16.9 years while those in the wild lived an average of 56 years . Scientists dont yet know why wild elephants seem to be so much better than their zoo-raised elephants . Georgia Mason , a biologist who led the study , thinks stress and obesity may be to blame .

40、 Zoo elephants dont get the same kind of exercise they would in the wild , and most are fat .Another finding from the study showed that Asian elephants born in zoos were more likely to die early than Asian elephants caught in the wild and brought to zoos . Mason suggests stress in the mothers in zoo

41、s might cause them to have babies that are less likely to survive .61. Most people think that animals in the zoos .A. have difficulty in finding food B. often struggle with each otherC. live longer than those in the wild D. will often fight with their enemies62.

44、 die early ?A. Because they eat too much and are overweight .B. Because they feel upset all the time .C. Because of their mothers stress .D. Because their mothers are hungry all the time .COn April 24th , another natural disaster the oil spill（泄露）in the Gulf of Mexico , happened . Millions of dollar

45、s have been used to help stop the spill and to clean up the animals , beaches , and land spoiled by the oil . Unfortunately , when many of these chemicals are used , more damage is caused to the environment , especially to lives in the sea .But governments seem to accept the risk of transporting mil

46、lions of tons of oil by ship every day so that we can fill up our cars and drive around and cause even more environmental damage . Interestingly , the biggest companies in the world produce cars , and the next biggest supply the gasoline to make them run .Of all of todays environmental disasters , a

47、n oil spill may actually be one of the least serious . Although oil is poisonous , it is a natural material . In the end , it breaks down naturally . In 1967 the tanker Torrey Canyon sank off the Scilly Isles near the coast of England and spilled 120,000 tones of oil into the ocean . If you go there

48、 today , you will find it hard to see any sign that it ever happened .However , we should be thinking more about reducing our dependency on oil . Governments should be encouraging research into new technologies , such as cars run by solar power, electricity , hydrogen , and so on . Much of this rese

49、arch , in the past , was stopped by the oil , gas , and coal .If the worlds millions of cars were 10% more efficient（高效的）, we would need many fewer tankers crossing the oceans each year . If this happened , the risks of oil spills would be reduced , and the air we breathe would be cleaner and freshe

50、r , too .66. What is the passage mainly talking about ?A. Oil spills pollution B. What oil pollution isC. Oil tanker accidents D. How to reduce oil pollution67.

Tankers should not be allowed to sail near the coastlinesD. Countries should build more oil pipelines under the sea70. Where ca

53、n you read this article ?A. In a story book . B. In a science magazine .C. In a novel D. In a brochure .DPeople from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why .Rachael Jack , Un

54、iversity of Glasgow researcher , said that rather than scanning evenly（均匀的）across a face as Westerners do , Easterners fix their attention on the eyes .“ We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions , ” Jack said . “ Westerners look at the eyes an

55、d the mouth in equal measure , while Easterners favor the eyes and neglect（忽略）the mouth .” According to Jack and her colleagues , the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed . As a result , facial expressions that had been considered universally r

56、ecognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations .The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces a

57、nd put them into categories : happy , sad , surprised , fearful , disgusted , angry , or neutral . They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies .It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made

58、 significantly more errors than Westerners did . “ The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions , ” Jack said . “ Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion , Easterners use the eyes m

59、ore and mouth less .”In short , the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion . From here on , examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion . Otherwise , when it comes to communicating emotio

60、ns across cultures , Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation .71. The discovery shows that Westerners .A. pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouthB. consider facial expressions universally reliableC. observe the eyes and the mouth in different waysD. have more difficu

61、lty in recognizing facial expressions72. What were the people asked to do in the study ?A. To make a face at each other B. To get their faces impressiveC. To classify some face pictures D.

62、icipants in the studyB. The researchers of the studyC. The errors made during the studyD. The data collected from the study74. In comparison with Westerners , Easterners are likely to .A. do translation more successfullyB. study the mouth more frequentlyC. examine the eyes more attentivelyD. read fa
