Allen: I’ve never been in big fan of the bears, especially the vacation show. On my last trip to Disneyland (1999) we passed it by, because we didn’t want to spend the time on something we didn’t really enjoy. If we’d known it would be closed by our next visit, I’m sure we would have watched it one more time. I was just making the point that it wasn’t until Disney announced the closing that this feeling suddenly sprang(弹跳) up for the Country Bear Show at Disneyland. But I think the idea of keeping some attractions open forever regardless of the number of visitors it gets is a mistake. We all have great memories of the Bears, but clearly very few kids today (or I should say families today) are making those same memories from this show. That may be a sad fact, but it’s a fact. Isn’t it right to use the Country Bear space to bring in a more popular attraction so that more kids today can make those magic memories of an attraction they like? Otherwise aren’t we just telling kids today that they “have to” make great memories of the Bears, when it’s obvious that the kids themselves are not enjoying the Bears like we did?
Roger: I am very disappointed that they have decided to retire the Country Bear Playhouse. I remember going to the show as a child, and still enjoyed it as a teenager, and now young adult. It is true that there aren’t a lot of shows left at DL and with this one closing even less. Being at DL does require a lot of walking, and it is nice to have a few attractions that are a place to sit and enjoy a good show. I understand that DL has to develop, but there has to be some history to the Disneyland that Walt Disney first designed. There should be some parts of DL that just never go away, and this is one of them. By the time I have children it looks like there won’t be any attractions that I can say I went to as a child at the rate they are going.
Now the Bears are leaving, What I want to say is: stop trying to compete with everyone! DL is the best, because of attractions like the Country Bears. If DL insists on destroying all of its magic to make way for the latest, well, then it might as well be just another theme park.
1.What news might get people talking about the problem of the Country Bears?
A. The Country Bear Playhouse will be closed.
B. There will be a new attraction for our guests at Disneyland.
C. The number of visitors to the Country Bear Playhouse is falling.
D. The Bears will retire because of old age and can’t give shows any more.
2.Allen spoke mainly to get his point across that ____________.
A. the Bears will be missed
B. We should tell kids today that they “have to” make memories of the Bears
C. The long-time attraction ought to make way for a future attraction
D. People never care about what they have until all is lost
3.Which is the best choice to complete Roger’s idea: “The Country Bears have been a part of Disneyland for nearly 30 years, _______________.”
A. and I feel it is time to give our bears a good rest
B. but anyway, the attraction has lost interest
C. but I know that Disneyland will always be changing, and I accept that
D. and I am sad that the Bears will be leaving

All parents wish their children, especially senior high students, can go to top universities and have a bright future. So they always expects their children to make fully use of their time to study. They don’t allow them watch TV, play computer games or go out to play with their friends. Some students just complained that their parents are only concerned about their grades but not their other need.
To my opinion, how our parents are doing is out of nothing but the love. The most important thing, I think, is that they should learn to communicate with our parents, telling them that we’ll never let them down and will work harder to earn trust and respect from them.

Increasingly, Americans are becoming their own doctors, by going online to diagnose their symptoms, order home health tests or medical devices, or even self-treat their illnesses with drugs from Internet pharmacies(药店). Some avoid doctors because of the high cost of medical care, especially if they lack health insurance. Or they may stay because they find it embarrassing to discuss their weight, alcohol consumption or couch potato habits. Patients may also fear what they might learn about their health, or they distrust physicians because of negative experiences in the past. But playing doctor can also be a deadly game.
Every day, more than six million Americans turn to the Internet for medical answers – most of them aren’t nearly skeptical enough of what they find. A 2012 survey by the Pew Internet & American Life Project found that 72 percent of those surveyed believe all or most of what they read on health websites. They shouldn’t. Look up “headache”, and the chances of finding reliable and complete information, free from a motivation for commercial gain, are only one in ten, reports an April 2015 Brown Medical School study. Of the 169 websites the researchers rated, only 16 scored as “high quality”. Recent studies found faulty facts about all sorts of other disorders, causing one research team to warn that a large amount of incomplete, inaccurate and even dangerous information exists on the Internet.
The problem is that most people don’t know the safe way to surf the Web. “They use a search engine like Google, get 18 trillion choices and start clicking. But that’s risky, because almost anybody can put up a site that looks authoritative(权威的), so it’d hard to know if what you’re reading is reasonable or not,” says Dr. Sarah Bass from the National Cancer Institute.
1.According to the text, an increasing number of American _____.
A. are suffering from mental disorders
B. like to play deadly games with doctors
C. turn to Internet pharmacies for help
D. are skeptical about surfing medical websites
2.Some Americans stay away from doctors because they _____.
A. are afraid to face the truth of their health
B. prefer to be diagnosed online by doctors
C. find medical devices easy to operate
D. are afraid to misuse their health insurance
3.According to the study of Brown Medical School, ______.
A. more than 6 million Americans distrust doctors
B. about 1/10 of the websites surveyed are of high quality
C. only 1/10 of medical websites aim to make a profit
D. 72% of health websites offer incomplete and faulty facts
4.Which of the following is the author’s main argument?
A. It’s cheap to self-treat your own illness.
B. It’s dangerous to be your own doctor.
C. It’s reasonable to put up a medical website.
D. It’s embarrassing to discuss your bad habits.
