| "Few things help an individual more than to place responsibility upon him, and let him know that you trust him." These words are from the black American educator, Booker Washington.He was saying that, "If you want people to grow up, you have to stop treating them like children." In America, families are close but children are encouraged to be independent, to make their own decisions, even at a very early age.It's not unusual for a child of seven to be given an allowance (津贴) every week.The child is encouraged to save some of the money but he or she can spend it on whatever they choose, for example, buying clothes, school supplies or CDs.Some teenagers even have their own credit cards!That's a big responsibility since even adults are tempted tooverspend when they have credit cards. From an early age, American children are asked for their opinions and they are included in family decisionmaking.At the dinner table, teenagers will be listened to on any topic, from politics to buying a new family car or where the family will go on vacation.In this way, teenagers are getting practice in becoming individuals:they are learning how to stand on their own two feet. Many Chinese young people are becoming almost as interested as American teens in searching for independence.They want to express those qualities that make them unique human beings.You can see this in the way they dress, the music they listen to and the friends they choose."Super Girl" Li Yuchun caught the imagination of Chinese teenagers on the "Super Girl" television contest.She was not the traditional "nice, young Chinese girl". With her short, spiky hair and boylike clothes, she was telling everyone that she was different.She had the courage to be her own person and to stand on her own two feet...and she won! There is an old saying, "Everyone should carefully observe which way his heart draws him and then choose that way with all his strength." If you do this, step by step, over a period of time, you may find that you have become the person you always wanted to be. 1. The passage is intended to encourage the youth to________. A. save money for useful things B. become independent C. express their great ambitions D. make important decisions 2. A child of seven is given an allowance so that he can______. A. be accepted as a popular guy B. learn to decide how to use money C. overspend money without care D. have school supplies of his own 3. The author implies that many Chinese children________. A. are more independent than Americans B. should become interested in America C. are happy with their present situation D. are not satisfied to be nice, quiet ones 4. The main idea of the last paragraph is________. A. that we should do things step by step B. why we should understand our desires C. what we should plan for our own life D. how we can manage to realize our dreams |

| As a foreigner, I don' t know the situation in the US well.Seeing all kinds of recent shooting incidents, I think it should be controlled more strictly than now.Somebody said that the person who has it in mind to kill another can do it without a gun, so the causes of murders are not guns but the trend of despising (蔑 视) life in the US.And they also insist that there is no clear evidence that the increasing number of murders is connected with possession of guns, so the personal rights should not be restricted by the reason that there is not enough evidence. Several months ago, I agreed with that partly.But as we know, the private groups like NRA have used the public opinion and persuaded the government to protect their profit.Other weapons such as knives, razors, bats are made for their own usage.But guns are made for only one reason-to kill someone.Of course, there are people who have guns to protect themselves from the criminals.But crime is getting more cruel and severe nowadays, so actually even if someone has a gun, it is impossible to guard himself completely. As a substitute, I think, if the possession of guns is controlled more strictly, people can live safer lives than now.There are other reasons to oppose the gun control (e.g.the possession of guns is historical inheritance (继承)and represents that people's resistance will beagainst tyrannical (专制的)government), but none of them can justify and explain today's serious situation in the US. 1. The writer's purpose is to give his opinion about________. A. personal possessions B. American culture C. personal rights D. gun control 2. Which of the following supports the writer' s opinion? A. The causes of crime are not guns. B. People are accustomed to having guns. C. People can live a safer life without guns. D. Guns are used for selfdefence. 3. What is the current situation in the US? A. The number of murders is rising. B. Everyone in the US possesses a gun. C. NRA has ruled over the country. D. No evidence is available after a crime. 4. According to the writer, ________should be banned in the society. A. knives B. guns C. knives and guns D. knives, razors and bats |
