At that moment, we hear a huge crash and then silence. We go upstairs and find Daniel crawling out of a wardrobe(衣橱) he has pulled over onto the floor, with a book in his hand. "It's for you, Mum," he says and looks up at his mum and smiles. Seven-year-old Daniel has a lovely face. He has golden hair, big brown eyes, and a friendly smile. I have to admit that Daniel doesn't look like a naughty boy.
Angela told me all about it. "Once I found him as he was about to put Jasper in the washing machine." Jasper, she explained, is the Browns' dog. "When I asked him why, he said that he thought Jasper was dirty! It's amazing how one little boy can cause so much trouble. Another time he cut off all the hair of the little girl next door. She was going to attend her sister's wedding and the neighbours haven't spoken
to us since."
Angela told me about Daniel's most expensive crime. "I was about to do the washing up when the baby started crying. Daniel decided to help and filled the kitchen sink with water. When I came in the water was already flooding the kitchen and was about to flood the hall. The carpet was ruined and had to be replaced. I hope things will get better as he gets older."
Amazingly, Daniel is quite well behaved in school. This may be because he is rarely bored. Meanwhile he continues to be the naughtiest little boy in England. Will his baby sister Laura grow up to be the naughtiest little girl?

Transportation and communication networks bring people together. Yet sometimes people themselves create barriers(障碍) to transportation and communication. In some countries, laws stop people from moving freely from place to place. Over the centuries, many groups of people have been denied the freedom to travel because of their race, religion, or nationality. In the Middle Ages, for example, Jews were often forbidden to move about freely within certain cities. South Africa's government used to require black Africans to carry passes when they travel within the country. Some governments require all citizens to carry identification papers and to report to government officials whenever they move.
Countries set up customs posts at their borders. Foreign travellers must go through a customs inspection before they are allowed to travel in the country. Usually travellers have to carry special papers such as passports and visas(签证). Some countries even limit the number of visitors to their country each year. Others allow tourists to visit only certain areas of the country, or they may require that travellers be with an official guide at all times during their stay.
Many of those barriers to travel also act as barriers to communication.
When two governments disagree with each other on important matters, they usually do not want their citizens to exchange news or ideas freely. Countries often try to keep military or industrial information secret.
Today, people have the ability to travel, to communicate, and to transport goods more quickly and easily than ever before. Natural barriers that were difficult or dangerous to cross a hundred years ago can now be crossed easily. The barriers that people themselves make are not so easy to overcome. But in spite of all the different kinds of barriers, people continue to enjoy travel and the exchange of goods and ideas.
78. The examples in paragraph 2 are used to tell the readers that _______
A. people have been allowed to travel freely within the country
B. people have not been permitted to travel freely for various reasons
C. travellers have to carry special papers such as passports and visas
D. customs posts are necessary at the borders of the countries
79. Some governments limit the freedom of communication because___
A. they intend to keep their national secrets unknown to others
B. they think such freedom will lead to wars
C. they often disagree with each other on important matters
D. they want to show their authority over communication
80. We may learn from the passage that _______
A. people do not care about the removal of barriers between countries
B. people can not remove the obstacles made by themselves
C. man-made barriers are sometimes harder to overcome than natural ones
D. barriers should be taken for granted as they always exist
81. Which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage?
A. Barriers Made by People
B. Functions of Communication
C. Restrictions on Transportation
D. Progress of Human Society

NOBLE SMUGGLER
This Thursday, Irena Sendler will be honoured for her work as a smuggler(偷运者). During World War II, the Polish social worker smuggled nearly 2,500 Jewish children out of the Warsaw ghetto(聚居区). She gave them new identities, found them safe places with good-hearted Christians, and kept the children's real names buried in jars in her neighbours' gardens. (The play, Life in a Jar, based on her story, is being performed.) At 93, Sendler lives in a Warsaw nursing home and is too weak to travel to Washington D.C., to receive the 2003 Jan Karski Award for Valor and Compassion from the American Center of Polish Culture. One of the children she saved will accept the award for her.
You risked your life to save the children.
I was taught by my father that when someone is drowning, you don't ask if they can swim, you just jump in and help. During the war, everyone was drowning, but mostly the Jewish children.
How did you persuade parents to give up their children?
I had to answer honestly that I didn't even know if we would get past the guards.
What was the most frightening moment?
When I saw a priest(牧师) in charge of an orphanage for Jewish children in the ghetto walk with them out to be killed. The children were in then best Sunday suits. The priest was killed with them.
How did you get the children to behave as you smuggled them out?
I told the older children to act as if they were sick and sometimes gave the younger ones a sleeping pill. They were told to remember their new names. I also told the children to tell guards they had only been visiting a servant in the ghetto and were going back to their real homes outside.
Did you tell your own two children what you did?
I never told them. Only when my daughter went to Israel did she learn all about me. I thought it was only normal to do so. And it was a very painful subject. It was always on my mind that I couldn't do more.
-- Samantha Levine

In toy stores, what is old is new again.
Some of the latest toys to hit store shelves include several names that were popular in the 1980's. Among them: He-man, My Little Pony, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Transformers. Their appearance is surprising in an industry where all but classic toys like Barbie dolls tend to stay in the market for only a few years before they leave kid culture for good.
The return of toys introduced a generation ago, say experts, is largely a generational effect. These toys were among the first to be marketed primarily through TV cartoons. The result: The toys carried with them a much stronger brand identity than toys from previous ages. When those who played with these toys during the 1980s began having children of their own, businessmen realized they could take advantage of parents' emotional ties by bringing the toys back.
"We're starting to see a lot of properties and products coming back now for the kids of Generation X," says Greg Livingston, vice president of Wonder group, a children's product marketing firm. But other industry observers say this return-of-toy trend is more rooted in basic economics. When the economy isn't strong, they say, toy-makers become more careful.
One of the safest marketing techniques is bringing back toys that are proven successes. "If you're in the business of making and selling toys, you're going to go the safest route, which is using proven brands," says Stephanie Oppenheimer, co-founder of the Oppenheimer Toy Co., an independent consumer group that rates toys; Other companies use product ideas that have sold well in other countries, such as Japan. Still, Ms. Oppenheimer also believes that American consumers simply are not
in the mood for new, high-tech toys anymore. "People are interested less in what we wish we had and more in what we already have," says Oppenheimer. "As a country, we're looking for things that remind us of simpler times."
86. The expression in the first paragraph "what's old is new again" means that "________.”
A. both old and new toys are sold
B. old and new toys are of the same price
C. old toys are in fashion again
D. old toys have taken on new forms
87. Which of the following is NOT listed as the cause for the return of the toys popular about two decades ago?
A. Generational effect. B. Economic factors.
C. Marketing techniques. D. Fierce competition.
88. The expression "for good" in the second paragraph can be replaced by _________.
A. for ever B. for the future
C. for the best D. for all
89. The main purpose of the passage is _________
A. to introduce the development of kid culture in the past century
B. to analyse the reappearance of toys popular in the 1980s
C. to promote the marketing techniques of toy manufacturers
D. to show the impact of high-tech toys on the kids of Generation X

简要描述图片，并谈谈你对学生在业余时间参加过多的补习和培训的看法。
In the picture, a boy is tightly tied up in all kinds of training programmes and extra classes, giving up his hobbies. The boy is sad, but he can’t free himself and have his own spare time. What a pity!
There is no doubt that youngsters should take in as much knowledge as possible and learn as many techniques as they can. However, it is even more important for parents and teachers to help them grow up to be healthy, strong and intelligent. As the proverb goes, work without play makes Jack a dull boy. In order to have no dull boys, I think, it is wise for the children to decide whatever they like and learn what they think is useful for the society. Only in this way can they grow up happily and creatively. And only in this way will they become the pride of the family, school and society.

Not long after, a man in my neighbourhood passed by. He saw me and said, "I'11 get some help." He left and never came back.
A few hours later, a second man passed by. I knew he was going to help me because we went to the same church. But he acted as if he didn't know me and left.
It was almost dark when a third man came by. I didn't know him. I thought he was from the countryside because he dressed differently. I didn't think he was going to help me. But he saw me and felt sorry for me. He called the police and then stayed with me, waiting for the ambulance.
