28、 life. D. White people have special baby doctors.(B) Babies are not just passing idle time when they stare at the television-they are actually learning about the world, U. S. researchers said. Parents may want to limit what their babies see on television, based on the study, said Donna Mumme, assist

29、ant professor of psychology at Tuffs University in Boston, who led the research. Children as young as 12 months are making decisions based on the emotional reactions of adults around them, Mumme said in a statement. It turns out they can also use emotional information they pick up from television. M

30、ummes team already knew that babies watch other children and adults for information about the world.

36、yes.(C) Mirth Pham was born in Vietnam. He left his native country when he was 21 years old. Minh has been in America for almost two years.

37、e box was on a high shelf. The man and the woman couldnt reach it. Minh saw a ladder. He got on the ladder and got the box. He handed it to the elderly couple. They thanked him. Where are your children? asked Minh. Why don t they help you buy food? Our children have their own lives, said the man and

38、 the woman. We like to be independent. Mirth doesnt think this is right. In his country, .children help their parents. Minh gave the elderly couple his phone number.

39、as walking with a Vietnamese friend. The two were going to a movie. Minh wanted to go to a restaurant first.Minh took his friends hand. He pulled him toward the restaurant.

40、o holding hands. Minh Pham is going through a process known as re-socialization. Socialization is the process in which a person learns to live in a society. Everyone goes through this process.

41、erican way of life. When Mirth came to America, he had to learn a new way of life. He had to learn how to live in a new society. Minh has learned a lot about American life in two years.

44、Americans. D. Everybody.(D)If I had known then what I know now, I would have taken my fathers advice when I was 18 and I had to choose my major at university. He told me to study outside Italy where there were more possibilities to find a job once I finished university. But I said no, scared of livi

45、ng alone in a different country with a different culture, with a different language, and above all, far from my family and friends. So I decided to go to university in Italy and I chose the one in Rome, my city, which is one of the most ancient universities in the world, studying Communication Scien

46、ce because it was the most common and the most fashionable major six years ago (and still is now.). At that age, I wanted to become a sports journalist, but with the passing time, my opinions and my ideas started changing and I understood that I didnt like my choice. At that time, I understood that

47、at 18 years old, everyone feels mature to decide about his own future. Everyone thinks that the advice that parents try to give is wrong and we are able to decide alone, maybe just with the help of our friends who are in the same situation. This is the worst thought that we can think. However, I gra

48、duated last December with the pride of my parents and I decided, with their help, to come to Toronto and study English. Here I am living the best experience I have ever lived. I often think: If I had known that living alone in a different country and studying something I like were so nice and intere

49、sting when I was 18, I would have listened to what my father told me six years ago. I try to regret nothing about my choices I have made in my past, but I just think that now I am mature to ask my parents and to listen to them because they have more experience and they know better than me what is ri

50、ght and what is wrong.( )58. What can we learn about the writer from the passage? A. He went to Toronto in order to become a sports journalist. B.

51、to and his study of English.( )59. The underlined word mature in the passage means . A. good and old B. confident enough C. carefully decided D. fully grown and developed( )60.

If it werent for my job, I wou

54、ld immediately move out for the open spaces and go back to nature. Cities can be frightening places. The majority of the population live in many tower blocks, noisy, dirty, and impersonal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up. All you can see from

55、your window is sky, or other blocks of flats. Children become aggressive and nervous as they are shut up at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world. Strangely enough, in the past, the people of one street all knew each other, but nowadays people on

56、the same floor in tower blocks dont even say hello to each other. Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence. In the country a sense of community generally binds the people of small villages together. People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someon

57、e to turn to when they need help. But country life has disadvantages too. While it is true that you may be among friends in a village, it is also true that you are cut off from the exciting and important events that take place in cities. Theres little possibility of going to a new show or the latest

58、 movie. Shopping becomes a major problem, and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go a long way to the nearest large town. The city people who leave for the country often cant bear the stillness and quiet there.What, then, is the answer? The country has the advantage of peace and q

59、uiet, but suffers from the disadvantage of being cut off; the city gives people a feeling of isolation, and constant noise can nearly drive you mad. But one of its main advantages is that you are at the center of things, and that life doesnt come to an end at half past nine at night. Some people hav
