(A)

ASK LASKAS

YOU’VE GOT QUESTIONS. SHE'S GOT ANSWERS

My children go to a primary school where they are not allowed to play football in the playground for fear that a child might be hurt. Besides, now the school says there must be no homework because the local secondary school can't keep up with the amount of homework given in the primary school. Can the school do this?  Puzzled Dad

It can't if enough parents do something about it. It is not just schools. We live in a society which wishes to get rid of risk. However, schools should have a little common sense and courage. Children need risk if they arc to grow up self-sufficient and confident. They need homework, too, if they are to fulfill their academic potential. Complain, loudly.

I have a beautiful teenage daughter who spends an hour making up her face in front of the mirror every day. I tell her to go easy. She just gets mad or bursts into tears. How can I make her understand she's beautiful the way she is.   Plain Mom

You can't. Your daughter is at the age when she's trying to look beautiful, trying on new masks. And if her friends all dress up as she docs, you're in for an extra hard time. Support her and tell her she's beautiful ― even if she looks ridiculous for now. Then invite her to join you for a day at a spa (健康美容中心). Let her try various looks until she's comfortable in her own skin.

65. Why are the children not allowed to play football in the playground?

A. The school is afraid that children might be injured.

B. The school is not sensible and confident.

C. The children don't have enough time to do homework.

D. The children may fail to fulfill their academic potential.

66. What disturbs Plain Mom is that her daughter______.

A. becomes mad                                                            B. cries a lot

C. spends much rime before the mirror                            D. is not beautiful enough

67. The solution to Plain Mom's problem is to______.

A. make her daughter look less ridiculous       

B. let her daughter dress up like her friends

C. make her daughter go to a spa every week   

D. let her daughter feel herself what beauty is

主要內(nèi)容：你如果有問(wèn)題，可以問(wèn)Laskas，她會(huì)給你想要的解答。是關(guān)于困惑于孩子問(wèn)題的父母向?qū)＜艺?qǐng)教的閱讀文章，列舉了一個(gè)父親和一個(gè)母親的問(wèn)題，Laskas給了他們回答。

65. A．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)這個(gè)父親的陳述，“這個(gè)學(xué)校的學(xué)生不允許在操場(chǎng)上踢足球是因?yàn)閷W(xué)校怕他們可能會(huì)受傷”，從第一句話的“for fear that a child might be hurt”可得答案。

66. C．細(xì)節(jié)推理題。根據(jù)這個(gè)母親的陳述，困擾她的是“她的十幾歲的女兒每天在鏡子前化妝一個(gè)小時(shí)”，所以，選擇C項(xiàng)。

67. D．段落大意題。根據(jù)最后一段，概括出解決這個(gè)母親問(wèn)題的方法就是“讓她的女兒自己感覺(jué)到自然狀態(tài)的她是最美的，而不是靠化妝才美麗的”。

Ms Lo could hardly bear her sorrow when she received the call that her husband had died in a car accident. Her pain quickly turn to shock---- the car involved in the accident was driven by a friend. That friend, Henry Lee, had chosen to remain silent on the accident details in court. Her shock soon turned to extreme anger when Lee decided not to let out what had happened.
Her husband, Mr. Tan, was 21 when he died after an accident outside Las Vegas KTV at Havelock Road. That night, he was discussing supper plans with a group of friends, which included Lee. Later, Mr. Tan was found unconscious on the ground, next to the car driven by Lee. Mr. Tan died in the hospital a few hours later. Due to drinking driving, Lee was fined $3,000 and banned from driving for two years last month.

She only heard of the accident and her husband’s death the next morning after the accident as she had switched off her band-phone that night. She told The New Paper, “Receiving the call, I thought it was a joke. I thought he had got his friend to call me to ask me out.” Ms Lo had moved out to live alone for three weeks because of a disagreement with her husband. “The next time I saw him was at the mortuary.(太平間)” She said that Lee went to visit her some days ago but didn’t apologize to her. “He looked sorry but he didn’t speak to me. I wanted to forgive him, but now I have no chance to tell him.” she said.
Ms Lo, who was a human resource manager in APB, left the company after the accident. She is now working in a photo studio.

A few years ago, Paul Gerner began to gather a group of architects in Las Vegas to ask them what it would take to design a public school that used 50 percent less energy, cost much less to build and obviously improved student learning. “I think half of them fell off their chairs,” Gerner says.
Gerner manages school facilities （設(shè)施） for Clark County, Nevada, a district roughly the size of Massachusetts. By 2018, 143,000 additional students will enter the already crowded public-education system. Gerner needs 73 new schools to house them. Four architecture teams have nearly finished designing primary school prototypes （樣品）; they plan to construct their schools starting in 2009. The district will then assess how well the schools perform, and three winners will copy those designs in 50 to 70 new buildings.
Green schools are appearing all over, but in Clark County, which stands out for its vastness, such aggressive targets are difficult because design requirements like more natural light for students go against the realities of a desert climate. “One of the biggest challenges is getting the right site orientation （朝向）,”Mark McGinty, a director at SH Architecture, says. His firm recently completed a high school in Las Vegas. “You have the same building, same set of windows, but if its orientation is incorrect and it faces the sun, it will be really expensive to cool.”
Surprisingly, the man responsible for one of the most progressive green-design competitions has doubts about ideas of eco-friendly buildings. “I don’t believe in the new green religion,” Gerner says. “Some of the building technologies that you get are impractical. I’m interested in those that work.” But he wouldn’t mind if some green features inspire students. He says he hopes to set up green energy systems that allow them to learn about the process of harvesting wind and solar power. “You never know what’s going to start the interest of a child to study math and science,” he says.
【小題1】How did the architects react to Gerner’s design requirements?

A．They lost balance in excitement.B．They showed strong disbelief.
C．They expressed little interest.D．They burst into cheers.
【小題2】Which order of steps is followed in carrying out the project?
A．Assessment — Prototype — Design — Construction.
B．Assessment — Design — Prototype — Construction.
C．Design — Assessment — Prototype — Construction.
D．Design — Prototype — Assessment — Construction.
【小題3】What makes it difficult to build green schools in Clark County?
A．The large size.B．Limited facilities.
C．The desert climate.D．Poor natural resources.
【小題4】What does Gerner think of the ideas of green schools?
A．They are questionable.B．They are out of date.
C．They are advanced.D．They are practical.
