Just before midnight, six University of Cincinnati students were watching TV in an on-campus apartment when three men burst through the door. While one of the intruders pointed a gun at the group, the other two scooped up $4,400 worth of laptops, cell phones, video games and cash. Once they had what they wanted, the trio fled into the night.

Furious, the students chased down and tackled one of the burglars -- the one with the gun. In the struggle, it went off, and a bullet grazed a student's leg. His friends piled on the gunman and held him until police showed up.

By the next day, the injured young man was back in his apartment, and the suspect was in jail, charged with burglary, felonious assault and receiving stolen property. But how did the men manage to storm into an on-campus residence that November night in the first place? Simple: Students told police the building's main doors hadn't latched properly for days.

As parents confront ballooning college costs and shrinking acceptance rates, they are finding themselves with an even bigger, more basic problem: Which campuses are safe? Colleges seem like idyllic and secure places, and for the most part, they are. But ivy-covered walls can't keep out every bad element. This country's 6,000 colleges and universities report some 40,000 burglaries, 3,700 forcible sex offenses, 7,000 aggravated assaults and 48 murders a year. Other hazards -- fires, binge-drinking, mental-health problems -- are also on the rise.

Of course, that's not what parents and students see on America's serene campuses. There's a false sense of security, says Harry Nolan, a safety consultant in New York City. "Students see guards patrolling at night or a video camera monitoring the dorm entrance and think, nothing bad can happen to me," he explains. "People don't know that safety controls are often very lax."

1.What did the students do after the burglars fled into the night?

A. They stood there in surprise.

B. They ran after the burglars at once.

C. They waited for the police.

D. They phoned their teacher.

2.What does the underlined word “l(fā)atched” in the third paragraph probably mean?

A. watched                 B. fixed                                 C. locked                     D. kept

3.What worries parents most except ballooning college costs and shrinking acceptance rates?

A. Their children’s grades in the universities or colleges.

B. Their children’s safety in the universities or colleges.

C. Their children’s behavior in the universities or colleges.

D. Their children’s relationship with classmates in the universities or colleges.

4.Which is right according to the passage?

A. Their children’s grades in are high.

B. Their children’s safety in the universities or colleges will be mornitored well.

C. The universities or colleges don’t pay much attention to the children.

D. The universities or colleges are not key educational departments in the local area.

閱讀下面短文并回答問題,然后將答案寫到答題卡相應的位置上(請注意問題后的字數(shù)要求)。

[1]It’s a fine line parents walk as they try to guide their kids into adulthood.You want to protect but not treat too kindly,advise but not control and let them live their own lives—with some input,of course.

[2]When your child asks for help or advice,give only what was asked for.If your Child asks you to tie a particular hard-to-tie knot(繩結)for a project she is working on,just tie the knot.Don’t start helping with the rest of the project or making suggestions on how to do it.She wants to do it herself,in her own way.Befor                 which your child has not askd for,count to ten.Perhaps in those seconds you’ll decide that the advice would do no good,or isn’t really that important,and you’ll drop it.If the advice still seems important,you will give it,but the pause may lead you to give it in a more thoughtful way.

[3]Remember that your child is not you and is not a reflection of you.We mak a serious mistake if we try to shape our children into copies of ourselves,or if we think of them as extensions or reflections of ourselves.We need to help them to be them,not try to turn them into us or into something that we think will make us look good.

[4]Our primary responsibility to our children is not that of telling them moment-to-moment or day-to-day how to behave but providing them with a healthy environment in which to develop.For example,one of the best ways you can help your kids is to work with your community to create safe-enough outdoor places to play in your neighborhood.

Many people need guidance in choosing a career (職業(yè)). Fortunately, there is much information on the Web about job opportunities (機會). With all the information available, it's not surprising that people can feel confused. So if you're ready to start your first job or change careers, where do you begin?

The Occupation Handbook is a good resource.  Regularly updated, the Handbook is available as a book and on-line. Not only is information provided about the United States as a whole, but readers can easily search for information about their particular state. You can read about the fastest-growing occupations in the area where you live and find out what they are like. You can also learn how to apply for jobs.

Take, for example, Nadia's situation. Nadia was a doctor's assistant in Iran, and her goal in the United States is to become a nurse. However, she needs to work while she is studying nursing. She is interested in becoming a medical assistant to help work her way through college.  When going on-line to the Handbook and searching under "medical assistant", Nadia is happy to read that this is expected to be one of the fastest-growing careers through 2010. Besides, job opportunities are even better for people with experience. She discovers that medical assistants not only have to do some office work, but have medical responsibilities as well. Nadia decides this job will be interesting and will also provide excellent experience for her nursing career.

The Occupation Handbook is just an example of websites that can help you plan a new career. When you have found information about some different careers, you will be ready to talk to career advisers. Choosing your future career is an extremely important decision. It's worth taking the time and finding as much information as you can.
