  As any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows,there is far more to a family meal than food.Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more.

  Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping(录像)the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes.They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children.But as the number of children gets larger,conversation gives way to the parents' efforts to control the loud noise they make.That can have an important effect on the children.“In general the more question-asking the parents do,the higher the children's IQ scores,”Lewis says.“And the more children there are,the less question-asking there is.”

  The study also provides an explanation for why middle chidren often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings(兄弟姐妹).Lewis found that in families with three or four children,dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child,who has the most to talk about,and the youngest,who needs the most attention.“Middle children are invisible,”says Lewis.“When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner,chances are it's the middle child.”There is,however,one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from howing attention:“When the TV is on,”Lesis says,“dinner is a non-event.”

D
  As the country's economy continues to steam ahead,once popular forms of entertainment,such as Karaoke(卡拉OK),card games and even boxing bars,appear to be losting their attractiveness.Stressed out white - collar wokers are camping out on rooftops,smashing(砸)up restaurants,pretending to be children and even visiting cemeteries in a effort to ease the pressure of modern life.
  Consider the members of Shanghai's Cat Rain club.By day,this group of young women work executive (决策管理的) jobs,but by night they climb buildings so they can spend the night on the roof."You feel relaxed when you're sitting on the roof,looking up to the sky and chatting with friends," said Gong Ying,25.
  The stress of work is not just limited to people in Shanghai.A recently opened restaurant in Beijing encourages customers(顾客) to smash plates --- as long as they are willing to pay to replace them.Some workers even wish to return to their childhoods.Recently,hundreds of people took part in a festival in which adults pretended to be children.It was an adultsonly event,and participants could read comics and eat sweets all day.
  Scenic places such as parks and rivers can also help people relax and put things in perspective.But a cemetery?
  Cemetery companies in Shanghai organized visits to local graveyards for stressed - out workers in March.The participants were taken to quiet spots in the cemetery where they could think about life and their futures."Pressure may bring us unhappiness,but it doesn't mean we can't find ways out,"says Chen Bin,a rooftop camping fan with still some other interests."Life should be imaginative."
  68.Peopel are going to those new activities mainly for ______.
   A.recreation   B.new ideas   C.physical refreshment   D.psychological relaxation
  69.The underlined phrase "put things in perspective"in the 4th paragraph possibly means______.

  70.When Chen Bin says:"Life should be imaginative",she means______.

Every country has its own culture.
Even though each country uses doors, doors may have   50  functions and purposes which lead to   51  differences.
When I first came to America, I noticed that a public building had two different   52  and they had distinct functions. You have to push the door with the word “ PUSH ” to go out of the building and to pull the door with the word “PULL” to   53  the building. This was new to me, because we use the      54  door in South Korea. For quite a few times I failed to go out of a shopping centre and was embarrassed.
The way of using school bus doors was also   55  to me. I used to take the school bus to school. The school decided that when the driver opened both the front and back door. Students who were getting off the bus should get off first, and students who were getting on should get on   56  in South Korea. We do not need to wait for people to  57 . One morning I hurried to the bus, and when the bus doors opened, I  58  tried to get on the school bus through the front door. All the students around looked at me. I was totally   59 , and my face went red.
