Fifteen years ago．I entered the Boston Globe，which was a temple to me then．It wasn't easy geeing hired．But once you were there，l found．you were in．

Globe jobs were for life-guaranteed until retirement．For 15 years I worked there—moving from an ordinary reporter to foreign journalist and finally to senior editor．I would have a lifetime of security．if I struck with it．Instead．I had made a decision to leave．I entered my boss's office．Would he burst into anger? I Wondered．He had a famous temper．\"Matt．we have to have a talk，”I began awkwardly．“I came to the Globe When I was twenty-four．Now I'm forty．There's a lot I want to do in life．I'm resigning．” “To another paper?”he asked．I reached into my coat pocket，but didn't say anything．I handed him a letter that explained everything．It said that I was leaving to start a new media company．We were at a rare turning point in history．I wanted to meet the challenge in the change．“I'm glad for you．”he said，quite out of my expectation．“I just came from a board of directors meeting and it was seventy-five percent discouraging news．Some of that we Can deal with．But much of it we can't，”he went on．“I wish you all the luck in the world,”he concluded．“And if it doesn't work out，remember，your star is always high here．”

Then I went out of his office，walking through the newsroom for more goodbyes．Everybody was saying congratulations．Everybody—even though I'd be risking all on an unfamiliar venture：all the financial security I had carefully built up．

Later，I had a final talk with Bill Taylor，chairman and publisher of the Boston Globe．He had turned the Globe into a billion-dollar business ．“I'm resigning, Bill,”I said．He listened while I gave him the story．He wash't looking angry or disturbed either．After a pause，he said，“Golly，I wish I were in your shoes．”

Rowena and Billy Wrangler are model high school students．They study hard and do extremely well on achievement tests．And next year，Rowena will be attending Harvard University．Billy，her younger brother．hopes to go to．Cornell．What makes Rowena and Billy different from most students is that they don't go to sch001．In fact，they've never been to school．Since kindergarten，they've studied at home．Like many of more than one million people who receive home schooling in the United States, they．feel as if they've gotten a good education．

The home-schooling trend began in the U.S．in the 1980s with parents keeping their children Out of public schools so they could provide religious education at home．Today，as the home-schooling trend continues to grow，parents ale more likely to consider home schooling as an option because they believe schools don't do a very good job of teaching and are occasionally dangerous places．But can parents really do a better job?

The answer in many cases is yes．In many studies，students taught at home ranked average or above average When compared to students who went to public schools．More importantly，these students were often more self-directed and have a greater depth of knowledge．They were well prepared for academic challenges．

One such student，Robert Conrad. flow at university．claims he really learned how to study and schedule his time during his eight years of home schooling．Still．not every studont is as successful as Robert．

“For every home-schooling success story，there are an equal number of failures．”states Henry Lipscomb，an educational researcher．“There are just so many disadvantages that students taught at home have to overcome．”For example，they have fewer chances to get in touch with others of their own age．Consequently，they sometimes lack the usual social skills．“No matter what，though，”states Lipscomb，“home-schooling is a growing trend．I think we'll be seeing more and more of this．”

There was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy traffic．At present。we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air．pollution．the problem is really worldwide．On several occasions over the past decade，a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in distant areas away from any industrial cities．In fact，the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution．Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels(coal and oil)is creating a“greenhouse effect”一keeping heat reflected from the earth and raising the world’s average temperature．If this view is correct and the world's temperature is raised only a few degrees．much of the polar ice cap will melt and．cities such as New York，Boston，Miami，and New Orleans will be in water．

Another view．1ess widely held．is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth’s temperature—a result that would be equally disastrous．A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age，and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas．Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen．Perhaps，if we are lucky enough，the two tendencies will offset each other and the world's temperature will stay about the same as it is now．Driven by economic profits．people ignore the damage on our environment caused by the“advanced civilization”．Maybe the air pollution is the price the human beings have to pay for their development．But is it really worth-while?

66．People used to think that air pollution . A．caused widespread damage in the countryside B．affected the entire eastern half of the United States C．had a very bad effect on health

D．existed merely in urban and industrial areas 67．As to the greenhouse effect．the author .

A．shares the same view，with the scientists． B．is uncertain of its occurrence C．rejects it as being ungrounded

D．thinks that it will destroy the world soon

68．The underlined word“offset”in the second paragraph could be replaced by . A．counter-act B．break from C．get along D．communicate 69．If the world's temperature lowered just a few degrees . A．it would not do much harm to life on earth B．it would lead major farming areas to disaster

C．particular things would increase greatly in the atmosphere D．seas and oceans would flood many cities 70．This passage is primarily about .

A．the greenhouse effect B．the burning of fossil fuels

C．the potential effect of air pollution D．the possibility of a new ice age

The young people who talk of the village as being “dead” are talking nothing but nonsense，as in their hearts they must surely know．

No，the village is not dead．There is more life in it now than there ever was．But it seems that“village lire”．is dead．Gone for ever．It began to decline about a hundred years ago．When many girls left home to go into service in town many miles away，and men also left home-in increasing numbers in search of work, and home was where work was．There are still a number of people alive today who can remember what “village life” meant in the early years of the last century．It meant finding．your entertainment in the village of within walking distance of it．It meant housewives tied to the home all day and every day．It meant going to bed early to save lamp-oil and coal．

Then came the First World War and the Second World War．After each war. new ideas，now attitudes．new trades and occupations were brought to villagers．The long-established order of society was no longer taken for granted．Electricity and the motorcar were steadily operating to make“village life”and“town life”almost alike．Now with the highly developed science and technology and high-level social welfare for all，there is no point whatever in talking any longer about“village life．”．It is just life．and a better life．

Finally, if we have any doubts about the future, or about the many changes which we have seen in our lives．we have only to look in at the school playground any midmorning；or see the children as they walk home fn little groups．Obviously there children ale better fed, better clothed，better educated，healthier．prettier and happier than any generation of children that ever before．walked the village street．

71．By saying that village is not dead，but“village life”is dead．the writer suggests that .

A．those who talk of the village as being“dead”are wrong B．the two statements are against each other C．“village fife”today is rather uninteresting D．“village life”today is no longer like what it used to be 72．When did“village life”begin to take a sharp turn? A．About a century ago．

第8页 共11页

B．In the second half of last century． C．During the two world wars． D．Only in recent years．

73．As is suggested in paragraph 2.villagers in the past . A．lived a simpler life than villagers today B．knew fewer people than villagers today C．found it difficult to enjoy themselves D．liked to wash themselves with cold water

74．The expression“…there is no point whatever in talking about…”in paragraph 3 means．that .

A．there is no end to the talking about… B．it is harmful to talk about…

C．it is not meaningless to talk about… D．there is no reason for talking about…

It is universally true that all parents in the world love their children．However, as parents' views of life vary, they show their love in different ways．Generally speaking，parents can be classified into three types, the monarch types the servant type，and the friend type according to their different ways of showing their love for their children．

The monarch type of parents are intolerant and self-centered．They lay down regulations in the family for their children to observe．Furthermore，they insist that their children should ac)upon them without question．When their authority is challenged, they become angry．With a firm belief in their own principles of life，they have litter respect for others' opinions，least of all，their children's The sentence they say most frequently to their children is，“You should do this．”

Contrary to the monarch-type parents，the servant-type．parents circle around their children all the time．They are soft，good-nature，and easy-going．They never deny their children any wish．and cheerfully run to buy anything their children ask for．They are happy so tong as their children are content．With the sincere belief that love means sacrifice，they are ready to give up anything for their children's sake．With their children at the center of their lives，they always ask“ ?”

children's interests，and listen attentively to their children's expression of emotion，whether it is anger，fear，joy or sorrow．They have a close relationship with their children while sticking to their principled stand．They discuss problems with their children rather than provide ready solutions．They respect their children as their equals. They often say，“Let's put our heads together and see what we can do．”

There is no doubt that children welcome the third type of parents, for a free，friendly，and sympathetic atmosphere at home is most favorable to the development of youngsters both in body and in mind．All parents should re-examine and change some of their ways．of showing their love if they want their children to grow up happily and healthily．
