How to protect children Web fans from unsuitable materials on-line while encouraging them to use the Internet has long been discussed in the U．S．

For some parents，the Internet can seem like a jungle，filled with danger for their children．But jungles contain wonders as well as danger and with good guides，some education，and a few precautions（预防措施），the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated．“Kids have to be on-line．If we tell our kids they can’t have chance to the Internet，we’re cutting them off from their future，” said an expert．

Most kids have started to use search engines．Many of them are great for finding tons of interesting Internet sites，and they can also locate places where you might not want your kids to go．There are search engines designed just for kids．A certain software contains only sites that have been selected as safe．The most popular way to limit chance would be to use what is known as a “content screener（过滤器）”，but this can't be wholly reliable，and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet．Another way is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing the Internet．

Four other tips：

—Don't put the PC in a child's room but keep it in an area where mum or dad can keep an eye on things．That also makes the Internet more of a family activity．

—Ask your child what he or she has been doing and about any friends they make on-line．

—Tell your child not to give on line strangers personal information，especially like address and phone number．

—And tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on-line over the phone，send them anything，accept any thing from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along．

56．The passage is mainly about the subject of ．

A．American children going on-line B．Internet in America

C．appreciating Internet D．opposing children’s on-line

57．The best way to protect children from improper materials is ．

A．to install（安装）a content screener on the computer

B．to buy some search engines for the children

C．to be nearby when they are surfing the Internet

D．to educate the children and persuade them to tell right from wrong

58．Which of the following is right according to the passage?

A．Surfing the Internet is the best method of educating children．

B．Children's not having chance to the Internet may have effect on their progress．

C．Using a content screener is most reliable for keeping children having chance to the Internet．

D．Searching engines can help children to select materials fit for them．

59．According to the passage，we can infer that ．

A．softwares are fit for children who want programming

B．a child who is on-line is in danger

C．Internet is a jungle full of danger

D．Internet contains a lot of harmful sites

60．What does the underlined word “that” probably refers to?

A．the first tip．

B．the PC in the kid's room．

C．placing the PC within parents' view．

D．Kids' surfing the Internet with their parents nearby．

Today is March l7th．About two and a half months ago，I said “Happy New Year!” to many of my friends．Slightly more than a month ago，I said the same thing to some other friends．In about four days，I'll relay the same wishes to yet another group of friends．I'll do the same thing in July and also in September．“How can that be?”，you might be thinking（if you're from Western Europe or the Americas）．“Everyone knows that New Year's Day is in January!”

The answer to the question you might have posed is that exactly when New Year's Day is depends on the calendar—and I have friends who use one or more of five different calendars to keep track of at least part of their lives：

1．January 1st：New Year's Day on the Western／international calendar

2．Between January 10th and February 19th（in l996，February 19th）：New Year's Day on the Chinese calendar（China，Korea，and a few other places）

3．March 21st：New Year's Day on the traditional Persian calendar（Iran）

4．Mid-July（usually the 16th）：New Year's Day on the Islamic（Muslim）calendar

5．September：New Year's Day（ecclesiastical）on most Eastern Orthodox Church calendars（Central and Eastern Europe）and，usually，on the Jewish calendar．

And these are just the New Year's Days that I know about! Actually，there are probably even more!

61．The author will say “Happy New Year” around March 21st to some friends．

A．Korean B Persian（Iranian）

C．Eastern Orthodox D．Chinese

62．The author uses quotation marks（“ ”）at the end of the first paragraph to show that the words inside the quotation marks are ．

A．not his thoughts B．very important

C．incorrect English D．his own thoughts

63．Because the author only said “September” for the last New Year's Day，we can conclude that the exact dates for the two New Year's Days then are ．

A．probably different B．not always in September

C．probably the same D．any day in September

64．The meaning of “keep track of”（last sentence，Paragraph Two）is ．

A．understand B．confuse C．manage or adjust D．follow

C

While still in its early stages，welfare reform has already been judged a great success in many states—at least in getting people off welfare．It's estimated that more than 2 million people have left the rolls（名册）since 1994．

In the past four years，welfare roils in Athens County have been cut in half．But 70 percent of the people who left in the past two years took jobs that paid less than$6 an hour．The result：The Athens County poverty rate still remains at more than 30 percent—twice the national average．

For advocates（代言人）for the poor，that's an indication that much more needs to be done．

“More people are getting jobs，but it’s not making their lives any better，” says Kathy Lairn，a policy analyst at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington．

A center analysis of US Census data nationwide found that between 1995 and 1996．a greater percentage of single，female headed households were earning money on their own，but that average income for these households actually went down．

But for many，the fact that poor people are able to support themselves almost as well without government aid as they did with it is in itself a huge victory．

“Welfare was a poison．It was a toxin（毒素）that was poisoning the family，” says Robert Rector，a welfare reform policy analyst．“The reform is changing the moral climate in low-income communities．It’s beginning to rebuild the work ethic（道德观），which is much more important．”

Mr. Rector and others argued that once “the habit of dependency is cracked” ，then the country can make other policy changes aimed at improving living standards．

65．From the passage，it can be seen that the author ．

A．believes the reform has reduced the government’s burden

B．insists that welfare reform is doing little good for the poor

C．is overenthusiastic about the success of welfare reform

D．considers welfare reform to be fundamentally successful

66．Why aren't people enjoying better lives when they have jobs?

A．Because many families are divorced． B．Because government aid is now rare．

C．Because their wages are low． D．Because the cost of living is rising．

67．What is worth noticing from the example of Athens County is that ．

A．greater efforts should be made to improve people’s living standards

B．70 percent of the people there have been employed for two years

C．50 percent of the population no longer relies on welfare

D．the living standards of most people are going down

68．From the passage we know that welfare reform aims at ．

A．saving welfare funds B．rebuilding the work ethics（观念）

C．providing more jobs D．cutting government expenses

D

In some urban centers，workaholism is so common that people do not consider it unusual．They accept tile lifestyle as normal．Government workers in Washington D．C，for example，frequently work sixty to seventy hours a week．They don't do this because they have to；they do it because they want to．

Workaholism can be a serious problem．Because true workaholics would rather work than do anything else，they probably don't know how to relax．

Is workaholism always dangerous? Perhaps not．There are，certainly，people who work well under stress．Some studies show that many workaholics have great energy and interest in life．Their work is so pleasurable that they are actually very happy．For most workaholics，work and entertainment keep them busy and creative．

Why do workaholics enjoy their jobs so much? There are several advantages to work．Of course，it provides people with paychecks，and this is important．But it offers more than financial security．It provides people with self-confidence；they have a feeling of satisfaction when they're produced a challenging piece of work and are able to say．“I made that．”Psychologists claim that work gives people an identity through participation in work．they get a sense of self and individualism．In addition，most jobs provide people with a socially acceptable way to meet others．Perhaps some people are compulsive about their work，but their addiction seems to be a safe even an advantageous one．

69．The passage indicates that workaholics ．

A．just know work but nothing else

B．are willing to work hard for long hours without pay

C．find their work provide them more satisfaction and self-confidence than how much they are paid

D．has the work with more responsibility than others

70．One of the reasons that some people are not willing to quit their jobs even in their eighties and nineties is that ．

A．they are in the need of financial security

B．they would rather work than be disturbed by domestic affairs

C．they long for a sense of identity and being accomplished

D．they may have health problems from sheer boredom

71．This passage is mainly about ．

A．workaholics are usually successful people，but their lives are in a mess

B．workaholism can lead to serious problems but it can also create a joyful life

C．people who are absorbed in their work may enjoy movies，sports and other kinds of entertainment

D．those who work even under difficult conditions may be very happy

72．It can be inferred from the passage that ．

A．in the eyes of all the common people workaholics are peculiar

B．to workaholics，work is the only source of happiness

C．a piece of challenging work may provide the workaholics a sense of satisfaction

D．workaholics are as addicted to their job as other people are to drugs or alcohol

A few days ago I asked my sons' governess（女家庭教师）Julia to come into my study．“Be seated，Julia，” I said．“Let’s settle our accounts．I guess you most likely need some money，but maybe you’re too polite to mention it．Now then，we agreed on thirty dollars a month…”

“Forty．”

“No，thirty．I made a note of it．I always pay our governess thirty．Well，um，you've been here two months，so…”

“Two months and five days．”

“Exactly two months．I made a special note of it．That means you have sixty dollars coming to you．Take off nine Sundays…you know you didn't work with Tom on Sundays，you only took walks．And three holidays…” Julia was biting her finger nail nervously，her face red，but not a word．

“Three holidays．therefore take off twelve dollars．Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons，as you were occupied only with Dick．Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch．Twelve and seven-nineteen．Take nineteen off…that leaves，hmm…forty one dollars．Correct?”

Julia's left eye reddened with tears welling up．Her chin trembled；she coughed nervously and blew her nose，but still not a word．

“Around New Year's Day you broke a teacup and a saucer；take off two dollars．The cup cost more；it was a treasure of the family，but forget it．When didn't I take a loss! Then，due to your neglect（疏忽），Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket；take away ten．Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dick’s shoes．You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it．So，that means five more dollars off．The tenth of January I gave ten dollars．”

“You didn’t，” sobbed Julia．

“But I made a note of it．”

“Well…if you say so．”

“Take twenty seven from forty one，that leaves fourteen．”

Both her eyes were filled with tears．Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose．Poor girl!

“Only once was I given any money，” she whispered，her voice trembling，“and that was by your wife．Three dollars，nothing more．”

“Really? You see now，and I didn't know that! Take three from fourteen，leaves eleven．Here's your money，my dear．Three，three，three，one and one．Here it is!”

I handed her eleven dollars．She took them and pocketed them．

“Merci（法语：谢谢），” she whispered．

I jumped to my feet and started pacing the room．I was overcome with anger．“For what，this ‘merci’? ” I asked．

“For the money．”

“But you know I’ve cheated you，robbed you! I have actually stolen from you! Why this ‘merci’?”

“In my other places they didn't give me anything at all．”

“They didn't give you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you，a cruel lesson，just to teach you．I'm going to give you all the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope all ready for you．Is it really possible to be so spineless（懦弱）?Why didn't you protest? Why were you silent? Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws（瓜）—to be such a fool?”

Embarrassed，she smiled．And I could read her expression，“It is possible．”

I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and，to her great surprise，gave her the eighty dollars．She murmured her little “merci” several times and went out．I looked after her and thought，“How easy it is to crush the weak in this world!”

73．While talking to Julia，the wrier expected from her ．

A．a protest B．gratitude C．obedience D．an explanation

74．The writer said，“Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws?” He was actually telling the governess ．

A．to be more aggressive B．to be more careful in her work

C．to protect her right D．to live independently

75．From the story，we can tell that Julia's employer was ．

A．greedy but honest B．ill-tempered but warn>hearted

C．strict but forgiving D．none of the above
