    Some disabled people use a special card when they park their cars. These are called disabled placards, which are removable signs that can be hung from the rear-view(后视) mirror of a car. These placards are only supposed to be for disabled people.
    These placards are meant to help disabled people in a number of ways. They allow the person to park in special parking spaces. They can also be used when disabled people are being dropped off or picked up. Disabled people can even use them to park without having to pay.
    Parking officials think that some people are cheating. Not all people who have these placards are disabled. Today, one in sixteen drivers in California carries the sign. There are a lot more people who have disabled placards today than ten years ago. An official from the DMV(加州车辆管理局) says that there are many reasons for the increase. As people get older, they may develop health problems and need to have one. There are also other reasons why more drivers have them today. Finally, there are a number of people who have them that should not.
    Last year the DMV cancelled more than 25,000 permits. They found that lots of people who had the disabled placards had died. These permits are no longer valid.
    Some people are worried that the system is being abused. They are worried that access to the program could be limited because of the misuse. More rules could make it harder for people with real disabilities to get these placards.

    For many years there’s been a debate about rewarding our children. Does it work? Is it effective?
    Some people think we should establish a standard with our kids and give them something for meeting this standard as a reward. Punishment is given out in much the same way, but it’s used when certain standards of performance, behavior, etc. have not been met. Kids will often become more dutiful when threatened with punishment, and work harder when promised a valuable reward. The problem is what happens when you aren’t around.
    To develop responsible, self-disciplined kids, parents need to promote certain ideas. One of these ideas is that everyone pitches in and helps in your family. Another idea is that there can be enjoyment in doing any task if we choose to make it so. When a task is for a worthy cause ( our family can enjoy the house more because I helped clean it), this message can have a big impact.
    This is how we help our kids develop a sense of responsibility. When our children develop this responsibility, they’ll be more disciplined, and they’ll control their emotions better. When we give rewards to our kids, we reduce the sense of responsibility. We also create children who may temporarily perform to a certain standard, but who aren’t likely to continue the performance without the carrot hanging in front of them. 
    “Rewards and punishment can change behavior for a while, but they cannot change the person who engages in the behavior,” said Alfie Kohn, author of Punished by Rewards. “Good values have to be grown from the inside out.” Parents can help give their children a sense of shared responsibility and discipline which can last a life time. The real rewards that your children receive will be their readiness for the complex and demanding world that waits for them—a world that rewards those who have learned the secrets of discipline responsibility. So keep those shiny rewarding to yourself, and let your kids find their own rewards.

    1. 1.

      According to the passage, when children are threatened with punishment, ______.

      1. A.
        they may lose interest in their work
      2. B.
        they may appear to be well-behaved
      3. C.
        they may change to another person
      4. D.
        the results will be worse than usual
    2. 2.

      What can we know from Paragraph 3?

      1. A.
        Parents should promote certain ideas to help children develop.

        Children should be responsible for their discipline.
      3. C.
        Children should help build a good family atmosphere.
      4. D.
        No children will adapt to society without their parents’ help

    The following conversation is between Susan Russell-Robinson from the US Geological （地质学的）Survey and Barbara Reynolds from USA Today .
    Q: Why , after 600 years of no activity , did Mount Pinatubo in Philippines erupt（喷发）in 1991 ?
    A: Volcanoes （火山）each have their own eruption styles . This volcano probably has a rule which makes it erupt in the order of every 500 to 1000 years , but a volcano in Hawaii seems to erupt every year , and some of the Alaskan volcanoes might erupt every 10 or 20 years .
    Q: So nothing caused it ?
    A: There’s nothing out of the ordinary . If you were to take an ordinary calendar year , 50 to 75 or 80 volcanoes erupt around the world every year . There are 20 to 30 volcanoes every month that show signs of unrest . That might be a full-blown eruption or a whole host of activities like that .
    Q: What is “the ring of fire” ?
    A: If you look at where active volcanoes are placed around the world , there are somewhere between 500 and 600 of them . There is what appears to be almost a necklace that goes around the Pacific Ocean . It makes a ring where 60% of the world’s volcanoes lie .
    Q: Why such a concentration（集中）there ?
    A: That’s based on a theory that the oceans and the continents are like separate pieces . When continents and when that happens it seems to produce magma（熔岩）at depth and then you have volcanoes in the same ring .

    1. 1.

      What kind of writing do you think this passage is ?

      1. A.
        A text taken from a geography book .
      2. B.
        An interview published in the press .
      3. C.
        A conversation carried out in a film .
      4. D.
        An oral test recorded as an example .
    2. 2.

      Which of the following statements can correctly explain why we have so many volcanoes around the Pacific Ocean ?

      1. A.
        The movement of the surface of the earth makes it possible.
      2. B.
        The Pacific Ocean produces magma and presses it everywhere.
      3. C.
        The oceans and the continents are separated from each other.
      4. D.
        The earth’s surface around the Pacific is thinner than any other part.
    3. 3.

      Barbara Reynolds’ main purpose here is          .

      1. A.
        to show how dangerous volcanoes are to the world
      2. B.
        to learn what signs a volcano gives us before its eruption
      3. C.
        to warn the world of the existence of “the ring of fire”
      4. D.
        to introduce some general idea of volcanoes to the public
    4. 4.

      Which of the following can be considered as the best conclusion of the conversation?

      1. A.
        There are so many volcanoes in the world and we are always in danger.
      2. B.
        Volcanoes have erupted more frequently than ever before.

    The Japanese believe that a person has two souls, each necessary. One is the “gentle” soul; the other is the “rough” soul. Sometimes the person uses his gentle soul; sometimes he must use his rough soul. He does not favor his “gentle” soul; neither does he fight his “rough” soul. Human nature in itself is good, Japanese philosophers insist, and a human being does not need to fight any part of himself. He has only to learn how to use each soul properly at the appropriate times. Virtue for the Japanese consists in fulfilling one’s obligations to others. Happy endings, either in life or in fiction, are neither necessary nor expected, since the fulfillment of duty provides the satisfying end, whatever the tragedy it inflicts (遭受，承受). And duty includes a person’s obligations to those who have conferred benefits upon him and to himself as an individual of honor. He develops through this double sense of duty a self-discipline which is at once permissive and rigid, depending on the area in which it is functioning.
    The process of acquiring this self-discipline begins in childhood. A Japanese child is given his own identity very early! If I were to define in a word the attitude of the Japanese toward their children I would put it in one succinct (简洁的) word – “respect”. Love? Yes, abundance of love, warmly expressed  from the moment he is put to his mother’s breast. For mother and child this nursing of her child is important psychologically.
    Rewards are frequent, a bit of candy bestowed ( 给予) at the right moment, an inexpensive toy…As the time comes to enter school, however, discipline becomes firmer. To bring shame to the family is the greatest shame for the child.
    What is the secret of the Japanese teaching of self-discipline? It lies, I think, in the fact that the aim of all teaching is the establishment of habit. Rules are repeated over, and continually practiced until obedience becomes instinctive. This repetition is enhanced by the expectation of the elders. They expect a child to obey and to learn through obedience. The demand is gentle at first and tempered to the child’s tender age. It is no less gentle as time goes on, but certainly it is increasingly inexorable （不可阻挡的）.

    1. 1.

      The main purpose of the passage is to discuss_________.

      1. A.
        the belief system of the Japanese people 
      2. B.
        Japanese view of happiness
      3. C.
        Japanese view of duty                
      4. D.
        self-discipline of the Japanese people
    2. 2.

      What can be inferred according to the Japanese belief system?

      1. A.
        Some people have two different souls.
      2. B.
        Some people are born evil.               
      3. C.
        One should try to achieve the happy ending.
      4. D.
        Duty is central in Japanese view of virtue.
    3. 3.

      In the teaching of self-discipline the Japanese emphasize _________.

      1. A.
        obligations to one’s family and relations.
      2. B.
        early tolerant training combined with restrictive movement
      3. C.
        heavy external (外界的) control including strict punishment
      4. D.
        a permissive atmosphere almost until adulthood
    4. 4.

      How do the Japanese teach their children of self-discipline?

      1. A.
        They lie to their children about the benefit of self-discipline.
      2. B.
        They develop their children’s habit of obedience through various teachings.
      3. C.
        They rely on the important role of schools.
      4. D.
        They use rewards to set good samples of self-discipline.
    5. 5.

      What does the underlined word “It”in the last sentence refer to?
