| Many times when children make a mistake,starting with breaking a window while playing football or skipping classes and ending with stealing something of fighting with another child,parents are always blamed by the society for not having known how to educate their offspring(后代).The situation is not that easy to explain. Parents always look for the best interest of their children and many times they are ready to take measures only for their sake.They know their children are suffering when they are obliged to stay indoors or when they have no money,but they have to teach them a lesson so that they won't repeat the same mistakes over and over again.When a child realizes that his father is talking seriously about him not being allowed to do something, he understands the gravity(严重性) of his deeds and he knows he will think twice before making the same mistake again. These are the cases of the responsible parents,who suffer when they see that their children are not happy but who resist the temptation of forgiving them so easily so that they realize the gravity of their actions not only at present but also for the future. On the other hand there are parents who always find excuses for their children's behavior,who never consider they make mistakes or if they just do what they call"childish"things lacking importance. When you buy your children everything he won't take into consideration anything of what you are telling him later on.He will get to the point when he steals from the house or from a shop so that he can afford to buy cigarettes or drugs. |

| A.It is the parents who are to blame when their children make mistakes. B.Children are easy to make mistakes. C.It is not always right to blame parents when their children make mistakes. D.Educating their children is the responsibility of the parents. |
| 2.According to the author,if a child makes a mistake,the parents should . |
| A.teach the child a lesson B.understand the child and forgive him or her C.not make him or her stay indoors D.not forgive him or her at all |

| A.parents' attitude towards their children's mistakes affects their children's behavior greatly B.parents' excuses for their children's behavior make no difference to their children C.children are hard to educate if they often make mistakes D.parents who make excuses for their children's bad deeds are not good parents |
| 4.The purpose of writing this passage is to . |
| A.tell us it is normal that children make mistakes B.show parents how to deal with the children who make mistakes C.make us know why children often make mistakes D.give some advice on how to forgive the children who make mistakes |

| A new book claims to have definitive evidence of a long-suspected technological crime-that Alexander Graham Bell stole ideas for the telephone from a competitor, Elisha Gray. In The Telephone Gambit:Chasing Alexander Graham Bell's Secret,journalist Seth Shulman argues that Bell-aided by aggressive lawyers and a corrupt patent examiner-got an improper glance at patent documents Gray had filed,and that Bell was incorrectly credited with filing first. Shulman believes the smoking gun is Bell's lab notebook,which was limited by Bell's family until 1976, then digitized and made widely available in 1999. The notebook details the false starts Bell met as he and assistant Thomas Watson tried transmitting sound electromagnetically over a wire.Then,after a 12-day gap in 1876-when Bell went to Washington to sort out patent questions about his work-he suddenly began trying another kind of voice transmitter.That method was the one that proved successful. As Bell described that new approach,he drew a diagram of a person speaking into a device.Gray's patent documents,which described a similar technique,also featured a very similar diagram. Shulman's book describes other elements that have angered researchers' suspicions. For instance,Bell's transmitter design appears hastily(草率地) written in the margin of his patent; Bell was nervous about demonstrating his device with Gray present; Bell resisted testifying(作证) in an 1878 lawsuit solving this question; and Bell,as if ashamed,quickly distanced himself from the telephone patent right bearing his name. Perhaps the most instructive lesson comes when Shulman explores why historical memory has favoured Bell but not Gray-nor German inventor Philipp Reis.who beat them both with 1860s telephones that employed a different principle. One reason is simply that Bell,not Gray.actually demonstrated a phone that transmitted speech.Gray was focused instead on his era's pressing communications challenge:how to send multiple messages simultaneously(同时地) over the same telegraph wire.As Gray shouted to his lawyers,"I should like to see Bell do that with his instruments." |
| 1.The phrase"the smoking gun"in Paragraph 3 means" ". |
| A.the cause of a series of things B.something proving what one has done C.the conclusion of a complex case D.something used to confuse people |
| 2.According to Shulman,how did Bell steal the idea for telephone from Gray? |
| A.He secretly looked at Gray's patent documents. B.He watched secretly while Gray was experimenting. C.He was told the new technique by Gray's assistant. D.He learned the new technique from the patent examiner. |
| 3.How many examples are given by Shulman to prove that Bell stole the idea? |
| A.3. B.4. C.5. D.6. |
|
4.History treats Bell as the inventor of telephone because . |
| A.he had written transmitter design in his patent B.he founded a telephone company bearing his name C.he proved how to send many messages at the same time D.he made an actual demonstration of transmitting speech |

| Acting is such an overcrowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a young person thinking of going on the stage is"Don't!".But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act,although the chances of his becoming famous are small.The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school.Usually only students who show promise and talent are accepted,and the course lasts two years.Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a play company,usually as an assistant stage manager.This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre:painting scenery, publicity,looking after the furniture,taking care of the clothes,and even acting in very small parts.It is very hard work indeed; the hours are long and the salary is tiny.But young actors with the stage in their blood are happy,waiting for the chance of working with a better company,or perhaps in films or television. Of course,some people have unusual chances which lead to fame and success without this long and hard training.Connie Pratt,for example,was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory.A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop,as he drove past in his car.He stopped and got out to speak to the girl. He asked if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test,and she thought he was joking.Then she got angry and said she would call the police.It took the producer twenty minutes to convince Connie that he was serious.Then an appointment was made for her to go to the company the next day.The test was successful.And within a few weeks she was playing the leading part in a film.But chances like this happen once in a blue moon! |
| 1.From the very beginning,the author puts it clearly that acting is a profession . |
| A.sought after by too many people B.too difficult for young people C.for ambitious people only D.for young people only |
| 2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as part of an assistant stage manager's job? |
| A.Playing minor roles. B.Managing the actors' dress. C.Helping advertise plays. D.Collecting tickets. |
| 3.The film producer found Connie Pratt one morning when she was . |
| A.working in a bicycle factory B.driving past him in her car C.going to a film studio D.waiting for a bus |
| 4.What does the author think of the unusual chance? |
| A.It is something which happens once in a while. B.It is a highly profitable chance. C.Only those really loving acting canget it. D.It is a very rare chance. |
