    LONDON--Life for Cathy Hagner and her three children is set to permanent fast-forward.

           Their full school day and her job as a lawyer's assistant are busy enough. But Hanger also has to take the two boys to soccer or hockey or basketball while dropping off her daughter at piano lessons or Girl Scout Club.

           Often, the exhausted family doesn't get home until 7 pm. There is just time for a quick supper before homework.

           In today's world, middle-class American and British parents treat their children as if they are competitors racing for some finishing line.

           Parents take their children from activity to activity in order to make their future bright. It seems that raising a genius has become a more important goal than raising a happy and well-balanced child.

           "Doctors across the country are reporting a growing number of children suffering from stomachaches and headaches due to exhaustion and stress," says child expert William Doherty of the University of Minnesota.

           Teachers are dealing with exhausted kids in the classroom. It's a very serious problem.

           Many children attend after-school clubs by necessity. But competitive pressures also create an explosion of activities. They include sports, language, music and math classes for children as young as four.

           "There is a new parenting trend under way which says that you have to tap all your child's potential at a young age; otherwise you will let him down”, says Terry Apter, a Cambridge-based child and adolescent psychiatrist （青少年精神病专家） "It isn't entirely new: there have always been pushy parents. But what was previously seen as strange behaviour is now well accepted."

    1．From the second paragraph of this passage we can find that ________.

           A．Hagner wastes much time helping her children's lessons

           B．Hagner doesn't spend much time on her full-time job

           C．Hagner is interested in spots and music

           D．Hagner busies herself by following a trend

    2．British parents, as the writer described in this passage, __________.

           A．treat their children as spots players

           B．pay no attention to their children's lessons

           C．bring up their children in a simple way

           D．give their children little time to develop freely

    3．The writer's opinion about after-school clubs is that __________.

    A．activities in the country are too competitive   

    B．children should attend four clubs at a time

    C．some clubs result in competitive pressures 

    D．clubs should have more subjects for school children

    4．The last paragraph tells us that in Britain _________.

        A．parents used to take their children to every club

        B．parents used to be wise on how to raise children

        C．parents have all benefited from children's clubs

        D．parents have come to know the standard of education

    I have never heard about a “Fashion Week” outside of New York, London or Milan. But then one just happens to turn up in Bishkek in Kyrgyzstan. Actually, I’m ignorant of all those countries in Central Asia, whose names are always ending in “stan.” For decades, even centuries, Central Asia has been out of focus, a blank on the map of empires. Just as the introduction from Turusbek Mamashov, from the Tourism agency of the president of the Kyrgyz Republic, says, “Throughout this Fashion Week project, we need to create a revolution in the minds of our people, preparing the country for the international tourism market. It is an opportunity as well as an investment.” What he says is right. If you just give it a glimpse (一瞥), you’ll find out that the flavor (风情) of the Silk Road is still there.
    As part of the route for Silk Road traders and migrating tribes through its epic(史诗的) history, Kyrgyzstan, like other Central Asian countries, is a vast place of desert, grassland and mountain ranges. It is not widely known that Kyrgyzstan is the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai’s birthplace.
    Bishkek, the place holding Fashion Week, is the capital and industrial center of independent Kyrgyzstan. It is a relaxed, handsome place with wide streets and large amounts of greenery. Especially in the autumn of November, the yellow leaves falling everywhere make the whole city a legend in fall. The mountains are just at its rear, in that case a unique scene of picturesque beauty is composed by snow-white peaks, lakes and the urban Landscape.
    Today, Ala-Too Square is the center of the poetic places worth seeing in Bishkek. The “White House,” the seat of the Kyrgyzstan Government, is just at the west of the square. Behind this is Panfilov Park, a great place to head for a national holiday. The State Museum of Fine Arts is opposite, which is also called the Gapar Aitiev Museum of Applied Arts, featuring Kyrgyz jewelry, rugs and works by local artists.
    One of the joys besides the scenery is the openness of the people. Bishkek is a city without a big population but mainly good-natured people from many races, 47 percent are Russian and about a third are Kyrgyz. Most travelers vote Kyrgyzstan as the most appealing, accessible and welcoming of the former Soviet Central Asian republics. It is written by a tourist that Kyrgyzstan is the country Russians most desperately want to keep: hills always covered with grass and wild flowers. Kyrgyz men always ride a horse wearing a photogenic hat.
    【小题1】   According to the passage, Kyrgyzstan used to be ___________.

    A．an international fashion centreB．an important part of Silk Road
    C．the focus of the worldD．a vast desert land in Central Asia
    【小题2】   The Fashion Week in Bishkek is supposed to __________.
    A．start a revolution in KyrgyzstanB．attract foreign investment to Kyrgyzstan
    C．promote tourism in KyrgyzstanD．celebrate the independence of Kyrgyzstan
    【小题3】   Which of the statements is NOT ture according to the passage?
    A．Bishkek is a crowded modern city surrounded by mountain ranges.
    B．Panfilov Park is a popular destination for local people during holidays.
    C．The majority of the population in Bishkek are Russian and Kyrgyz.
    D．The famous poet Li Bai is thought to have been born in Kyrgyzstan.
    【小题4】   What is the most important message the author wants to convey in the passage?
    A．Reflections and thoughts on the glorious history of the Silk Road.
    B．Feelings about the ongoing Fashion Week project in Bishkek.
    C．The geographic features and imposing history of Kyrgyzstan.
    D．The natural and cultural characteristics and attractions in Kyrgyzstan.

    Dear John,
    This summer I will go to study at the London University,but I don’t know how to adapt myself for the new life.
    I hear that many freshmen are at loss what to do when they are in a foreign country .Feel lonely and homesick ,they find it much harder to get use to the new culture ,diet and climate.
    Most of them can’t take well care of themselves in their everyday life .
    However it is difficult to find a satisfied host. It ’,s  more difficult to fully understand what the teachers teach in class though they speak English all the time.
    Could you tell me how to deal with these problems so that I will be able to suit the university life in the future?
    Yours,
    Li Hua
