Mr. Lang worked in a factory. As a driver, he was busy but he was paid much. His wife was an able woman and did all the housework.

So he was interested in it and hardly forgot anything except gambling. He lost all his money and later he began to sell the television, watches and so on. His wife told him not to do it but he didn’t listen to her. She had to tell the police. He and his friends were punished for it. And he was hardly sent away.

He told his five-year-old son to go to find out if there were the policemen outside. They waited for a long time and didn’t think the police would come and began to gamble.

Put an ice cube from your fridge into a glass of water. You have a piece of string(线) 10 centimeters long. The problem is to take out that piece of ice with the help of the string. But you must not touch the ice with your fingers.

     You may ask your friends to try to do that when you are having dinner together. There is a saltcellar on the table. You must use salt when you carry out this experiment.

    First you put the string across the piece of ice. Then put some salt on the ice. Salt makes ice melt(融化). The ice round the string will begin to melt. But when it melts, it will lose heat. The cold ice cube will make the salt water freeze again.

    After a minute or two you may raise the piece of string and with it you will raise your piece of ice!

    This experiment can be very useful to you. If, for example, there is ice near the door of your house, you must use very much salt to melt all the ice. If you don’t put enough salt, the water will freeze again.

31. We must use _______ when we carry out this experiment.

Allen : I’ve never been a big fan of the bears , especially the vacation show . On my last trip to Disneyland (1999) we passed it by , because we didn’t want to spend the time on something we didn’t really enjoy. If we’d known it would be closed by our next visit , I’m sure we would have watched it one more time . I was just making the point that it wasn’t until Disney announced the closing that this feeling suddenly sprang (弹跳) up for the Country Bear show at Disneyland .

       But I think the idea of keeping some attractions (胜迹) open forever regardless of (不顾及) the number of visitors it gets is a mistake . We all have great memories of the Bears , but clearly very few kids today (or I should say families today ) are making those same memories from this show . That may be a sad fact , but it’s a fact . For whatever reason , the show doesn’t pull in the numbers . Isn’t it right to use the Country Bear space to bring in a more popular attraction so that more kids today can make those magic memories of an attraction THEY like ? Otherwise aren’t we just telling kids today that they “have to” make great memories of the Bears , when it’s obvious that the kids themselves are not enjoying the Bears like we did ?

       Roger : I am very disappointed that they have decided to retire the Country Bear Playhouse . I remember going to the show as a child , and still enjoyed it as a teenager ,

and now young adult . It is true that there aren’t a lot of shows left at DL and with this one closing even less . Being at DL does require a lot of walking , and it is nice to have a few attractions that are a place to sit and enjoy a good show . I understand that DL has to develop , but there has to be some history to the Disneyland that Walt Disney first designed . There should be some parts of DL that just never go away , and this is one of them . By the time I have children it looks like there won’t be any attractions that I can say I went to as a child at the rate they are going .

       Now the Bears are leaving . What I want to say is: stop trying to compete with everyone ! DL is the best , because of attractions like the Country Bears . If DL insists on destroying all of its magic to make way for the latest , well , then it might as well be just another theme (主题) park .

41．What news might get people talking about the problem of the Country Bears ?

              A．The Country Bear Playhouse will be closed .

              B．There will be a new attraction for our guests at Disneyland .

              C．The number of visitors to the Country Bear Playhouse is falling .

              D．The Bears will retire because of old age and can’t give shows any more .

42．Allen spoke mainly to get his point across that __________          .

              A．the Bears will be missed

              B．we should tell kids today that they “have to” make great memories of the Bears

              C．the longtime attraction ought to make way for a future attraction

              D．people never care about what they have until all is lost

43.Which is the best choice to complete Roger’s idea : “The Country Bears have been a part of

     Disneyland for nearly 30 years ,  ___________        .”

              A．and I feel it is time to give our bears a good rest

              B．but anyway , the attraction has lost interest

              C．but I know that Disneyland will always be changing , and I accept that

        D．and I am sad that the Bears will be leaving

44．Which of the following is not in the same group as the other three ?

         A．an attraction        B．a theme park    C．the Bears D．the latest magic

45．Where can this passage be found ?

       A.In a Web discussion zone (区).                    B．In a suggestion book .

       C．In a report on the popularity of the Country Bears .  D．In high school students’ compositions

Growing Pains

Teenagers are caught between a desire for independence and an actual need for parenting, protection and their proper guidance.

Some are willing to rely on their parents, because they believe in their parents and regard them as good teachers both in life and study. While other teens feel angry about dependence because they think it is an admission of weakness. They are developing the ability to be independent.

It is not unusual for teens to react with anger or rebellion（叛逆）at seemingly innocent suggestions or comments from parents. This anger is often expressed in comments such as, “My parents won’t let me grow up,” or “They treat me like a child.”

Teenagers question their parents’ ideas. They no longer think their parents have all the answers.Sometimes teenagers are too proud of themselves. They complain that their parents are old fashioned, or don’t know what’s going on and can’t keep up with times.
