“A very disruptive（擾亂型的）six-year old child kicked my legs and clawed at my hand.” said one teacher. “I broke up a fight but was kicked，” said another. Many people have heard stories like this. But the situation is more worrying still and it involves(涉及) parents.
Every child, regardless of(不管) the surroundings into which they are born，has the right to achieve their potential. And we recognize that, as a nation，it is a long way to achieve this goal. But rights come with responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of ignoring the latter.
Far too many children are behaving badly at school，even to the point of being violent to teachers. This is terrible enough，but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behavior of their parents. Too many are starting school unable to hold a knife and fork, unused to eating at a table，and unable to use the toilet properly.
We are in danger of becoming a nation of families living separate lives under one roof. The bedroom, once a place to sleep，has become the living space for the young. Spending hours in front of computer screens, on social networking sites or being addicted to computer games, children and young people spend little time with their parents. Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching.
Schools cannot right the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute (代替)parents. Both parties need to work together. Parents must be helped and given confidence to take back control. They are responsible for setting limits to their children’s behavior and sticking to those limits when things get tough(困難). They are responsible for setting a good example to their children and for devoting that most precious of resources---time---so that children come to school ready and willing to learn.
小題1:In the opinion of the writer, what problem do people ignore?
A．The school violence.
B．The pressure of students’ learning.
C．The right to achieve students’ potential.
D．the responsibilities of the students.
小題2:The writer’s attitude to the behaviors of parents may be ________.
A．dissatisfiedB．unconcernedC．understandingD．tolerant(容忍的)
小題3:The underlined part in Para 4 may means__________.
A．parents and children live in their separate rooms
B．parents care little about children’s life at home
C．children don’t live with their parents in the same room
D．children spent little time with their parents at home
小題4:From the last paragraph, we can infer that______.
A．schools can’t correct the wrongs that society does to teachers
B．teachers have no responsibility for playing the role of parents
C．parents should spend time with children making them ready to learn
D．students are responsible for making themselves known in society

小題1:D
小題2:A
小題3:D
小題4:C
這是一篇社會文化類文章�，F(xiàn)在的孩子在學(xué)校里的舉止行為很讓人擔(dān)憂，他們不但不懂得基本的行為規(guī)范，而且還和老師發(fā)生沖突，作者認(rèn)為造成這一切的原因在于父母疏于管理。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)推斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的But rights come with responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of neglecting the latter.可知，人們雖然很重視孩子的權(quán)利，卻忽視了他們應(yīng)當(dāng)承擔(dān)的責(zé)任，所以選D項。
小題2:推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的內(nèi)容可知，作者認(rèn)為家長們應(yīng)該負(fù)責(zé)制定子女的行為界限，堅持這些界限不可逾越。他們有責(zé)任為孩子樹立良好的榜樣以及為子女投入大量寶貴的資源——時間——讓孩子們?nèi)W(xué)校，并愿意學(xué)習(xí)。由此可知作者對于父母們的表現(xiàn)是不滿意的。
小題3:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)該段中的young people spend little time with their parents可知，父母雖然和孩子住在一起的時間行為。
小題4:推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的內(nèi)容可知，父母要負(fù)起教育孩子的責(zé)任，要給孩子樹立一個良好的榜樣，要花費(fèi)時間多和孩子在一起，使得他們做好上學(xué)的準(zhǔn)備，所以選C。

It’s often true that jobs for students sometimes lead to employment after graduation, so it’s a good idea to think carefully before you begin working during your college years.
During my entire college life I worked as a bartender （酒吧招待）. I have to say that I really enjoyed that job, and was fond of the idea of making money without doing too much work. I also had the opportunity to socialize （ 交際） while working. I came to be known among the upper class, and gradually became popular on campus because of my job. However, working as a bartender can have the negative side that people tend to think that you enjoy drinking.
All in all, I wish I had thought more carefully before deciding to take that job. I got a Bachelor’s degree （學(xué)士學(xué)位）in English, qualifying（使···有資格） me to work as a writer, but so far I have only been able to use the skills I learned from that part-time job.
It would be different if I had searched for jobs related to writing or editing（編輯） instead of bartending. It’s commonly accepted that employment for students is only temporary （臨時的），but we should never forget that it can connect to the work we get after we graduate. After all, employers not only look at the degree, but also your previous experience.
So before getting a part-time job while you’re at school, consider what you want to do for the rest of your life.
小題1:Which of the following is a benefit（好處）of working as a bartender for the author?
A．He had a good time after school.
B．He made connect with many people.
C．He satisfied his curiosity about others.
D．He had learned how to make wine.
小題2:The underline word “negative” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “ _______”.  
A．badB．sameC．wrong D．bright
小題3:The author writes the text mainly to _______.  
A．describe his part-time job during his college life
B．tell students to be careful with their part-time jobs
C．convince（使確信）students that bartender is the part-time job
D．a(chǎn)dvise students to look for their future jobs in the college

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have given $500,000 to help the town of Joplin —a town near the Mississippi River, where Pitt’s mother went to school recover from a huge tornado (龍卷風(fēng))that struck on May 22, 2011.
The couple made the donation through the Jolie-Pitt Foundation on Thursday to help rebuild the town of Joplin after about 30% of the buildings were destroyed by the tornado. Over 150 people were killed.
“The Joplin community faces great challenges ahead,” said Brad. "Having spent most of my childhood there, I know these people to be hardworking, humble and especially resilient.
“The locally based Community Foundation of the Ozarks will be working shoulder to shoulder with these Joplin citizens for long to rebuild their lives. We, too, hope to further help with these rebuilding efforts.”
“Last year 42 million people worldwide were hurt by natural disasters,” added Angelina. “So often, these disasters seem far away; but now, the need is right here at home for thousands of people. Our hearts go out to the families in Joplin who have lost so much.”
The Community Foundation of the Ozarks was founded in 1973 and has since grown to include 43 branch community foundations. The Foundation’s task is to improve the quality of life in the Missouri Ozarks area through resource development, community grant making, working together, and public leadership.
“We had a call in the first day or two afterward from an organization representing them,” said Brian Fogle, president of the Community Foundation of the Ozarks. "They made several calls afterwards, but we learned that they made a donation.

Inside the pleasingly fragrant café, So All May Eat(SAME) in downtown Denver, the spirit of generosity is instantly noticeable: A donation box stands in place of a cash register. Customers here pay only what they can afford, no questions asked.
A risky business plan, perhaps, but SAME Café has done one unchangeable thing in the Mile High City for six years: Open only at midday, the restaurant provides poor local people with healthy, delicious lunches six days a week. Those unable to pay for their meals can instead volunteer as waiters and waitresses, and dishwashers, or look after the buildings and equipment for the cafe.
“It’s based on trust, and it’s working all right” , says co-owner Brad Birky , who started the café in 2006. With his wife Libby. Previously volunteering at soup kitchens, the Birkys were dissatisfied with the often unhealthy meals they served there.
“We wanted to offer quality food in a restaurant where everyone felt comfortable ,regardless of their circumstances,” Birky says. SAME’s special lunch menu changes daily and most food materials are natural and grown by local farmers.
The café now averages 65 to 70 customers (and eight volunteers) a day. And the spirit of generosity behind the project appears to be spreading. In early 2007,one volunteer who had cleared snow for his meals during the long winter said goodbye to the Birkys,” He said he was going to New Orleans to help with the hurricane cleanup,” says Birky.
小題1:What can we learn about the soup kitchens the Birkys prcviously worked for?
A．They refused to have volunteers.
B．They offered low quality food.
C．They provided customers with a good environment.
D．They closed down because of poor management.
小題2:According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A．The customers who cannot pay can word as volunteers in stead.
B．More volunteers will go to new Orleans for the hurricane cleanup.
C．Many new cafes will be opened to offer free lunches in the town.
D．The lunch menu has remained the same since the café was started.
小題3:The author’s attitude towards running such a café is_______
A．unfavorable
B．a(chǎn)pproving
C．doubtful
D．cautious
