Federal regulators Wednesday approved a plan to create a nationwide emergency alert (警报) system using text messages delivered to cell phones.

Text messages have exploded in popularity in recent years, particularly among young people. The wireless industry’s trade association, CTIA, estimates (估计) more than 48 billions text messages are sent each month.

The plan comes from the Warning Alter and Response Network Act, a 2006 federal law that requires improvement to the nation’s emergency alter system. The act tasked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with coming up with new ways to alter the public about emergencies.

“The ability to deliver accurate and timely warning and alters through cell phone and other mobile services is an important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public has the information they need to take action to protect themselves and their families before, and during, disasters and other emergencies,” FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said following approval of the plan.

Participation in the alter system by carriers — telecommunication companies — is voluntary, but it has received solid support from the wireless industry.

The program would be optional for cell phone users. They also may not be charged for receiving alters.

There would be three types of messages, according to the rules.

The first would be a national alter from the president, likely involving  a terrorists attack or natural disaster. The second would involve “approaching threats,” which could include natural disasters like hurricanes or storms or even university shootings. The third would be reserved for child abduction (绑架)emergencies, or so-called Amber Alerts.

The service could be in place by 2010.

61. What is the purpose of the approval plan?

A. To warn people of emergencies via message.

B. To popularize the use of cell phone.

C. To estimate the monthly number of messages.

D. To promote the wireless industry.

62. The improvement to the present system is in the charge of ______.

A. CTLA.   B. the Warning Alert and Response Network

C. FCC    D. federal regulators

63. The carriers’ participation in the system is determined by _______.

A. the US federal government   B. mobile phone users

C. the carriers themselves       D. the law of the United States

64. Which of the following is true of cell phone users?

They must accept the alert service. 

B. They may enjoy the alert service for free.

C. They must send the alerts to others.

D. They may choose the types of messages.

65. An alert message will NOT be sent if __________.

A. a child loses his way         B. a university shooting happens

C. a natural disaster happens   D, a terrorist attack occurs

66. Which of the following would be the best title for the test?

A. Cell Phone Alerts Protecting Students

B. Cell Phone Alerts by Wireless Industry

C. Cell Phone Alerts Natural Disasters

D. Cell Phone Alerts Coming Soon

Sometimes children do not do what their parents tell them to do. When this happens, a parent tries to help the child to do the right thing. When this does not work, the parent usually punishes the child.

   There are many things that a parent can do. One thing that people have done is to spank (打屁股) the child. When a parent spanks a child, they will use their hand or a hard object to strike them on their bottom. This is meant to show the child that they have done something wrong

 everything and not try other ways to get the child to do the right thing。

Many parents are not sure of what to do instead of spanking. Some people think that their religion(宗教)tells them that spanking is okay. Some think that the law lets them do it. The courts (法院) say that parents have the right to teach their children how to behave.

Other things should be tried before a parent decides to spank a child. Telling the child exactly what is wanted from them can be one thing. Giving a child more than one choice is another thing that can be tried. Getting down to the child’s level and taking a more child-friendly approach (方法) can help as well.

How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and the old wishing they were young again! Each age has its pleasure and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting any time in useless regrets.

Children is a time when there are few duties to make life hard. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after, and loved whatever he may do. It’s impossible for him to be given so much again in his life without having to do anything in return. Besides, life is always giving new things to the child. A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain, or in the snow. His first visit to the seaside makes him wild. But a child has his pains; he is not so free to do as he wishes. He is continually being told not to do this, not to do that, or being punished for what he has done wrong. His life is therefore not perfectly happy.

When the young man starts to make his own living, he becomes free from the rules of school and parents; but at the time he is forced to accept duties. He can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes and his room, but has to work for them if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry and suffer. And if he breaks the law of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison, lf, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble, and has good health, he can have the great happiness of seeing himself make steady progress in his job and of building up his own position in society and enjoy success and good reputation..

Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be, but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. Old age has its own happiness. They can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life; they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them and, perhaps, best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, feel the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving others to continue the fight.

1.The main reason children wish they were grown up, and the old wish they were young again is that ______.

A. both aren’t satisfied with the weak points at their ages

B. both enjoy the strong points at the other age by looking back or looking forward

C. the human beings should be like this

D. they don’t think both ages are acceptable

2.“Enjoy what each age gives him without wasting time in useless regrets” means ______. 

A. Enjoy what is given to him by people at his age, feeling regrets

B. Enjoy himself at his own age, feeling regrets for a waste of time

C. Make full use of the time he is given at his age instead of regretting having no achievements

D. Enjoy his own age and look down on the people at other ages

3.“Children is a time when there are few duties to make life hard” means “______”. 

A. Children shouldn’t be made to live a hard life

B. All the children won’t have to work for their own living

C. Children shouldn’t answer for the hard life they are leading

D. A child bas few duties to try hard to make a living for himself or for his seniors

4.According to the passage, what is a child’s greatest dissatisfaction? 

A. He thinks he has not got the equal freedom as his seniors.

B. He thinks he knows less about things than the older do.

C. He thinks it easy for him to do something wrong.

D. He thinks the society doesn’t believe in him.
