other people. MySpace is a place that allows you to broadcast your own stories and persona information to as
many people as you like. Started two years ago, it is a big source of information for and about American kids.
Teenagers and their parents feel very differently about it. Teens are rushing to join the site, not sharing their
parents" worries. It signals yet another generation gap in the digital era.
For teenagers, it is a reliable network to keep in touch with their friends. They will often list their surnames,
birthdays, after-school jobs, school clubs, hobbies and other personal information.
"MySpace is an easy way to reach just about everyone. I don"t have all the phone numbers of all my
acquaintances. But if I want to get in touch with one of them, I could just leave them a message on MySpace."
said Abby Van Wassen. She is a sixteen-year-old student at Woodland Hills High of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Parents on the other hand are seriously concerned about the security problems of MySpace.
"Every time we hold a parents meeting, the first question is always about MySpace," said Kent Gates, who
travels the country doing Internet safety seminars (研讨会). The National Center for Missing and Exploited
Children has received at least 288 MySpace-related complaints, according to Mary Beth Buchanan, a lawyer in
Pittsburgh.
"Your profile on MySpace shows all your personal information to anyone on the Web. And MySpace even
lists this information by birthplace and age. It"s like a free checklist for troublemakers and it endangers children,"
Buchanan said.
B. is very careful about people"s privacy
C. encourages you to list your personal information
D. lists the telephone numbers of your friends
B. Because they don"t want to pay so much money for MySpace.
C. Because it takes up too much of their children"s spare time.

and said, "Here are the apples you wanted." She looked in the bag, and then she looked at me. "I told you,"
she said slowly, "to buy some eggs."
I felt worried about my absent-mindedness, so I went to see a doctor. He was a very kind man "I have
seen many people like you. It"s nothing to worry about," he said "If you know you are absent-minded, you
are all right.But if you do not know you"re absent-minded, you may be really in trouble."
"Many famous people were absent-minded," the doctor told me. "Thomas Edison was standing in line
one day to pay his taxes. When he arrived at the window, he found that he had forgotten his own name.
He had to ask the man who was behind him to tell him who he was."
I felt much better and got up to leave. "Thank you, doctor," I said. "How much do I have to pay you?"
"Ten dollars for the check-up," the doctor said.
"But doctor, I did not have a check-up!"
For a moment the doctor looked puzzled. Then he said, "Oh, yes, it was the patient before you who had
a check-up. How absent-minded I am!"
B. because he liked telling stories
C. to make the author laugh
D. to make fun of Edison
B. a feeling of sadness
C. an emotion (情绪) of excitement
D. a trouble in which people often forget this or that

generation of American youngsters who have never been close by during the birth of a baby and have never
experienced the death of a family member.
Nowadays when people grow old, we often send them to nursing homes. When they get sick, we send
them to a hospital, where children are forbidden to visit terminal (晚期的) patients-even when those patients
are their parents. This deprives (剥夺) the dying patient of family members during the last few days of his
life and it deprives the children of an experience of death, which is an important learning experience.
Some of my colleagues and I once interviewed and followed about 500 terminal patients in order to find
out what they could teach us and how we could be of more benefit, not just to them but to the members of
their families as well. We were most impressed by the fact that even those patients who were not told of their
serious illness were quite aware of its potential (潜在的) outcome.
It is important for family members, and doctors and nurses to understand these patients" communication
in order to truly understand their needs, fears and fantasies (幻想). Most of our patients welcomed another
human being with whom they could talk openly, honestly, and frankly about their trouble. Many of them
shared with us their great need to be informed, to be kept up-to- date on their medical condition and to be
told when the end was near. We found out that patients who had been dealt with openly and frankly were
better able to cope with the coming of detach and finally to reach a true stage, of acceptance before death.
B. are unfamiliar with birth and death
C. usually see the birth or death of a family member
D. have often experienced the fear of death as part of life
B. visit their family members
C. learn how to face death
D. look after the patients
B. his fear of death
C. his unwillingness to die
D. he feels very upset about his condition
B. dying patients are afraid of being told of the coming of death
C. most patients are unable to accept death until it can"t be avoided
D. most doctors and nurses understand what dying patients need
is over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total
population of Canada.
In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that
happens to other people: as we get older, many of us will become less mobile, hard of hearing or have falling
eyesight.
Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities.
Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer
time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period
of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people"s attitude towards them.
Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or to visit friends,
imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or onto buses and trains. How would you cope
if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice
(偏见) can be even harder to break down and ignorance (无知) inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier
of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it
is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability, not their
disability, that counts.
B. ignorance
C. prejudice
D. barriers
B. being considered
C. being included
D. being numbered
B. There are about 10 percent disabled persons in the UK.
C. The whole society should pay due attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.
D. There no longer exists prejudice against the disabled.
B. both physical and mental barriers are hard to break down
C. we must take a proper attitude towards the disabled
D. the able-bodied people will never fully understand the disabled
almost one in five graduates in their late 20s now live with their parents. By contrast, only one in eight
university graduates had failed to fly the nest by the same age 20 years ago, research from the Office for
National Statistics (ONS) shows.
It also found that grown-up sons are twice as likely as their sisters to still be living with their parents
in their late 20s.
With nearly a quarter of men approaching 30 still living at home, the findings are bound to lead to claims
of a "generation of mummy"s boys".
Rising housing prices, increasing student debts and the effects of depression on the job market have
forced a wave of young people to move back into the family home at an age when they would normally
_____.
Young professionals in their late 20s or early 30s have been called the"boomerang generation" because
of the trend toward returning to the family home.
Recent research has suggested that young people in Britain are twice as likely to choose to live with their
parents in their late 20s than their counterparts elsewhere in Europe.
But experts warned that the phenomenon may have more to do with young people facing dark future than
simply a desire to save money.
While the percentage of those of university or college age moving out from the family home has continued
to rise in the last 20 years, among those in their mid and late 20s the trend has reversed.
Overall 1.7 million people aged from 22 to 29 now share a roof with their parents, including more than
760,000 in their late 20s, the ONS figures suggest.

completed a couple of years of college work or even that you completed your degree. Isn"t it tempting to lie
just a little, to claim on the form that your diploma (文凭) represents a Harvard degree? Or that you finished
an extra couple of years back at State University?
More and more people are turning to an utter deception (欺骗) like this to land their first job or to move
ahead in their careers. For personnel officers, like most Americans, value degrees from famous schools. A
job applicant may have a good education anyway, but he or she assumes that chances of being hired are better
with a diploma from a well-known university. Registrars (学籍管理员) at most well-known colleges say that
they deal with dishonest claims like these at the rate of about one per week.
Personnel officers do check up on degrees listed on application forms. If it turns out that an applicant is
lying, most colleges are unwilling to accuse the applicant directly. One Ivy League school refers to them as
"special cases." One well-known West Coast school, in perhaps the most delicate phrase of all, says these
claims are made by "no such people".
To avoid complete lies, some job seekers claim that they "attended" or "were associated with" a college
or university. After careful checking, a personnel officer may discover that "attending" means being dismissed
after one semester. It may be that "being associated with" a college means that the job-seeker visited his
younger brother for a football weekend. One school that keeps records of false claims says that the practice
dates back at least to the turn of the center-that"s when they began keeping records, anyhow.
If you don"t want to lie or even stretch the truth, there are companies that will sell you a fake diploma.
One company, with offices in New York and on the West Coast, will put your name on a diploma from any
number of nonexistent colleges. The price begins at around twenty dollars for a diploma from "Smoot State
University". The prices increase rapidly for a degree from the "University of Purdue." As there is no Smoot
State and the real school in Indiana is properly called Purdue University, the prices seem rather high for one
sheet of paper.
B. nowadays it is very hard for people to find jobs
C. lying about college degrees is becoming a widespread problem
D. employers are no longer interested in applicants" actual performances
B. careful
C. incomplete
D. spoken
B. drive the them out of college
C. avoid direct conflicts with them
D. accuse them of such behaviors
B. University of Purdue and Purdue University are the same school
C. people with fake diplomas can get their first jobs in US easily
D. people pay the same price for a fake diploma from different universities
