professors can remember, large numbers of freshmen were arriving with enough knowledge of
the Chinese language to start in second- or third-year Chinese language class, rather than basic
Chinese.
The American interest in China is not just at the university level. In the 2006 school year, high-school
students will be offered an Advanced Placement test, which is one of the national exams American
students take for university admission, in Chinese. This is the first time Chinese is offered in the
Advanced Placement test, which is usually limited to the most important subjects that high school
students take.
What is surprising is that earlier last year, an organization that tracks university students surveyed
high schools throughout America, asking if they planned to offer the language courses that prepare
students for the language Advanced Placement test. They expected that only a hundred high schools,
mostly in California, New York, and a few other places with large immigrant populations, would show
interest in each of the new language programs. Although that was true for the courses in Italian, Russian
and Japanese, it was not true for the Chinese language course. There were thousands of American
high schools that indicated that they planned to build their Chinese programs to levels where students
could take the Advanced Placement exam for Chinese language. The demand for courses in Chinese is
rising so rapidly that it is rapidly overtaking all other foreign languages except Spanish.
B. needn"t learn Chinese any more
C. take courses in the Chinese language
D. go to university to study Chinese
B. learn more than one foreign language
C. take the Advanced Placement Test
D. used to have a test in Chinese
B. Americans will know more about China
C. the U.S. government pays much attention to language studies
D. Chinese may take the place of English in American universities

In the past decade the popularity of rock climbing has greatly increased, and so has the number of
injuries. It has been estimated that rock climbing is now enjoyed by more than 9 million people in the US
each year. Study findings revealed a 65 percent increase in the number of patients that were treated in US emergency departments 
for rock climbingrelated injuries between 1991 and 2008.
The study, published in the online issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, found that
about 40, 000 patients were treated in US emergency departments for rock climbingrelated injuries
between 1991 and 2008. The most common types of rock 
climbingrelated injuries were fractures (骨折)
and sprains (扭伤). The ankle was the most common body part to be injured (40 percent). Climbers in the study ranged in age from 2 to 74, with an average age of 26. The study also found that women took up a
quarter of the injuries.
Falls were the primary reason for injury with over threequarters of the injuri
es occurring as the result of a fall. The severity of fallrelated injuries had a lot to do with the height of the fall. Patients who were injured after falling from a height over 20 feet were 10 times more likely to be treated than patients who were
injured falling from 20 feet or lower.
"We found that the climbers who fell from heights higher than 20 feet took up 70 percent of the patients treated for a rock climbingrelate
d injury," explained the study author Lara McKenzie, PhD, director at
the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Hospital." This trend, combined with the fact that rock climbers have a higher hospitalization rate than other sports and recreational injuries, demonstrates the need to increase injury prevention efforts for climbers."
B. The ankle.
C. The knee.
D. The hand.
B. About 30,000.
C. About 20,000.
D. About 10,000.

skill - the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing.
It is common that parents hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous
feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be
forced to use a toilet too early, and a young ch
ild might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much,
or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm(热情) for life and
his desire tofind out new things for himself.
Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their chil
dren. Some may be especially strictin money matters; others are severe over time of coming home at night or punctuality(准时) for meals.
In general, the controls imposed(强加的) represent the needs of the parents and the values of the
community(社区) as much as the child"s own happiness.
As regards the development of moral standards (道德标准)
)in the growing child, consistency(连贯性) is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality. Also, parents should realize that "example is better than precept". If they are not sincere
and do not practise what they preach(说教), their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.
A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents" principles and their morals can
be a dangerous disappointment.
B. is universal among parents
C. sets up dangerous states of worry in the child
D. will make him lose interest in learning new things
B. not expect too much of them
C. achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own
D. create as many learning opportunities as possible
B. parental controls satisfy only the needs of the parents and the values of the community
C. parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children alone
D. parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation
B. punishment
C. behavior
D. instruction
B. be aware of the marked difference between adults and children
C. forbid things which have no foundation in morality
D. satisfy their children"s needs
living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave
oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You
almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat
out at least once a week.
Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for.
Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that
the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or
energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them.
Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year.
One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day
from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny. Most evenings Daniel wouldn"t get home until eight or nine o"clock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for
meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.
Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. "I always wanted to have a farm then," says
Daniel, "and
we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It"s taken some getting used to,but it"s been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it"s made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.
Liz, however, is not quite sure. "I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I"m not really a country girl, but I suppose I"m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the
same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all."
B．people hardly buy more things than necessary
C．people are sure everything they own is in the right place
D．people realize there is more to life than just making money
B．disliked his job
C．missed his children
D．was well paid
B．has improved family life
C．was extremely expensive
D．has been a total success
B．To make more money through hard work is the aim of people"s life.
C．Long hours of hard work occupy too much of people"s life.
D．People spent too much time and money eating meals.
B．spending money carefully
C．moving out to the countryside to live a simpler and better life
D．living in a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a week
Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.
Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new
technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from
personal experience.
E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings.
My working hours aren"t necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at
the office
. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she"d been
born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.
The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something
fun see a great movie perhaps-and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If
you call each one, you may tire of telling the story.
With E-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address it
to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message
when they have time, and
read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they
have to say at your convenience.
E-mail is also an inexpensive way stay in close touc
h with people who live far away. More than
a few parents use E-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.
We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way ofstaying in touch.
They don"t take the place of any of the old ways.
B. describe the writer"s joy of keeping up with the latest technology
C. tell the merits(价值) and usefulness of the Internet
D. introduce the reader to basic knowledge about personal computers and the Internet
B. have more free time with his child
C. work at home on weekends
D. work at a speed comfortable to him
B. keep one"s communication as personal as possible
C. pass on much more information than the later
D. get in touch with one"s friends faster than the later
three female backpackers visits more than three countries during a year out and travels alone, according
to new research．
By contrast, the majority of their male counterparts(对手方) visit only one country and tend to travel
in groups, says a survey by the Gap Year company, which provides information and services for students
considering taking a year out．
More women than men say that their prime reason for taking time off is to see the world and
experience different cultures．Men were more likely to rank "having fun" higher on their list of priorities．Women were more likely to value the challenge of a foreign trip, and many cited reasons such as learning
a language and meeting new people．
The more adventurous gap years taken by women seem to work to their benefit; more than three
quarters of those surveyed reported increased confidence, self-reliance and independence, whereas only
half of the men had that experience．
The research also showed that women were more likely to do voluntary work while travelling, with
more than one in ten helping with teaching or development projects．One of the reasons given for this is
a wish to see the country in an authentic(真正的) light．
A greater proportion(比率) of women than men faced objections or criticism from their families over
their gapyear plans．Among the men surveyed, lack of money was the main barrier to travel．
Carolyn Martin, a doctor from London, was a typically confident female traveller．Starting in Cape
Town, she travelled around southern Africa and Australia with a string of unusual and sometimes
dangerous jobs．
"I had one job chasing elephants off the runway in Africa by banging a stick against a pan," she re
called．"It was OK but one day I did get chased by one．"
She said that she had travelled alone because "you meet more people"．
B．one third of the women students will travel abroad in a year
C．women students are more likely to travel abroad alone in gap years
D．women students are willing to travel abroad in a group
B. to have fun
C. to see the world and experience different cultures
D. to do voluntary work
B．Women students will travel more but face more objections．
C．The article suggests that women travelling alone will have dangerous experiences．
D．Men students prefer to travel inside their own country to going abroad．
B．Boys Lack Courage in Gap Years
C．For Fun or for Adventure?
D．Young Women Are More Adventurous
