26、 quiet girl. As a daughter, she has no secrets from her mother, who is very pleased with her. But recently she has become somewhat mysterious, and not so open as before. She has a diary that she keeps under lock and key. Her mother cannot help worrying about her: what if she falls in love, which is

27、too early for a girl of her age. After all she is reaching the “dangerous stage”. These thoughts have caused trouble in the mothers mind.One weekend the girl came to tell her mother that she was going to the cinema with her schoolmate and would return late. This was the first time her mother agreed,

28、 and she couldnt help worrying because her daughter had never been away at night before. The mother waited till nine and her uneasiness got the upper heart over her. She decided to go out to meet her daughter. Just at that moment the noise of a car pulling up drew her to the window and there was her

29、 daughter, waving goodbye to a boy. Her heart missed a beat. When the girl came in, the mother was watching TV, pretending nothing had happened. “Mum, Im back.” “Yeah” “Sorry to be late. Still sitting up?” “Yes, oh, that Whos that boy?” The daughter was stunned for a moment. “Ah. Its my monitor. He

30、gave me a lift on his way home. Mum, Im going to bed.” “All right.

35、ying of the leading womens organization. Gu Xiulian, president of the All-China Womens Federation（ACWF）（全国妇联）, said on Saturday that she put forward a proposal that women be trained for space missions after the manned space flight last October. And it was accepted by the central authorities（当局，官方）,

36、local media reported. But the plan to recruit female astronauts has yet to be worked out, according to sources close to the astronaut training programme. Beijing needs mental health care MORE than 1,100 people committed suicide（自杀）in Beijing last year, and experts have been encouraging the capital t

37、o set up a mental health care system as soon as possible, local media reported last week. About 20 percent of the people of Beijing live in unhealthy conditions, with 3 per cent of these suffering from affective disorder and 5 percent reporting symptoms（症状）of depression, according to the Beijing Men

38、tal Health Service Centre. No need to fear your license plate CAR license plates in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, will not have the number fourfrom this month on a move that has led to heated discussion among officials, scholars（learned men）and residents. The word for foursounds like d

39、eathin Cantonese. The numeral has been cleared away from the computer data banks that generate the six-digit license numbers for local cars. Some say that, for the first time, a public agency service has considered local customs and bans. Others worry it will encourage superstitious（迷信的）beliefs.60.

40、We can infer from the news that _. A. there are several female astronauts in China now B. people in Guangdong province hate numberfour C. the mental disorder concerns everybody all over the country D. the city government of Beijing has promised to set up a mental health care system61.

41、 sentence in the third news means that _.

43、st time you heard thunder or watched a television program? Adults seldom recall events much earlier than the year or so before entering school, just as children younger than three or four rarely retain any memory of specific, personal experiences.A variety of explanations have been put forward by ps

44、ychologists for this childhood amnesia（记忆缺失）.One argues that the hippocampus, the region of the brain which isresponsible for forming memories, does not mature（成熟）until about the age of two. But the most popular theory thinks that, since adults do not think like children, they cannot access childhoo

45、d memories. Adults think in words, and their life memories are like stories. But when they search through their mental files for early childhood memories to add to this verbal life story, they dont find any that fit the pattern. Its like trying to find a Chinese word in an English dictionary.Now psy

46、chologist Annette Simms offers a new explanation for childhood amnesia. She argues that there simply arent any early childhood memories to recall. According to Dr. Simms, children need to learn to use someone elses spoken description of their personal experiences in order to turn their own short-ter

47、m, quickly forgotten impressions of these experiences into long-term memories. In other words, children have to talk about their experiences and hear others talk about them - Mother talking about the afternoon spent looking for crabs (蟹) at the beach or Dad asking them about their day at Ocean Park.

48、 Without this verbal reinforcement, says Dr. Simms, children cannot form permanent memories of their personal experiences.63. According to the passage, it is widely believed that _.A. it is impossible for an adult to recall his (or her) childhood experiencesB. adults and children have different brai

49、n structuresC. adults think in words while children think in imagesD. adults virtually have no access to their childhood memories64. The word “hippocampus” probably means _.A. a research center engaged in the study of human brains B. a psychological research department of a university C. a miniature

50、 (tiny) campus formulated in ones childhood memoryD. a part of the brain in charge of the formation of memories65.Trying to find a Chinese word in an English dictionary is stated in the passage to show that _.A. adults and children have different memory patternsB. it is unlikely to find a Chinese wo

51、rd in an English dictionaryC. Chinese and English are totally different languagesD. memories are in some way connected with languages66. According to Annette Simms, _.A. verbal reinforcement is necessary for children to have permanent memoriesB. there does not exist such things as childhood memories

52、C. childrens brains are mature enough to form permanent memoriesD. children are generally inexperienced and unable to remember things they dont understandDChina Today Subscription （订阅）2006Subscription RatesCountry & RegionCurrencyPer Issue1 YearPostageAustraliaAUD5.4024.0027.00CanadaCAD5.3024.0027.0

60、 give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants. But in the executive (主管的) circle, beauty can become a liability.While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executive were

61、considered as having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck.All unattractive women ex

62、ecutives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes.Why are at

63、tractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is considered to be more feminine and an attractive man more manly than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in traditionally manly position appears to lac

64、k the “manly” qualities required.This is true even in politics. “When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women different.” says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates (候选人). She asked 125 undergraduate students to

65、rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.The results showed that attractive males completely defe

66、ated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.71.
