     Some people believe that greed and selfishness has become the basis of modern society, and
we should return to the old traditions of family and community then we will have a better life. To
what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion?
     In this fast-paced world, many values are undergoing major changes. While people traditionally
prioritize caring, sharing and generosity in life and work, modern people seem to be more
self-absorbed and self-concerned.
     Modern people act selfishly to survive the harsh competition of life. They say that it is a jungle
out there. To survive, you have to fight with whatever means that come handy. Obviously greedy
and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas. In a company, employees do everything they can
to get better pay and higher position, even at the cost of colleagues. We are in any way advocating
any selfish conduct. It is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way due to outside influences.
     In spite of common practice, it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on greed and
selfishness, both of which are not newly invented vocabulary. In ancient times people also did greedy
and selfish things though such behaviors were more condemned then. But we can not ignore the fact
that people in the past lived a relatively more isolated life and faced less pressure compared with
their modern counterparts.
     Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them? There is no fixed answer either.
Some people take great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the
opposite. But I personally think that people should not be too selfish. Caring for others can actually
encourage the development of a mutually beneficial relationship.
     In conclusion, modern people appear to be more self-centered than those in the past due to
strong outside pressure. However, we should encourage people to know the importance of being
caring and generous and to build a mutually beneficial relationship with others.
     Are Modern People Becoming More Selfish?
                 Are Modern People Becoming More Selfish?
1. Values    2. place    3. concerned    4. Behaviors    5. goals    6. Reasons
7. competition    8. pressure    9. attitudes  10. benefit

  New research says 35 percent of child deaths worldwide are caused by hunger.The research comes from poor or middle-income countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

  Robert Black from the' Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland, is the lead writer of the research.He says more than 3.5 million mothers and children under five die in poor countries each year because of hunger.

  He says more than two million children die from underdevelopment, either before or after birth.Millions of, others who survive face a lifetime of disabilities or early death and the effects are not just physical.Poor mental development also results from hunger as children grow.Then the cycle of poverty and hunger often continues for their children.

  Doctor Black says hungry children are also more likely to have conditions like high blood pressure and heart disease as adults.He says the studies show that food programs need to place the greatest importance on the first two years of life.Hungry children can suffer their whole life damage from age two.

  It is high time their diets were improved.Diets should include foods rich in vitamin A and other useful vitamins and minerals.The researchers say early help such as this could reduce child deaths by 25%.

  This research has also faced some criticism.A medical aid group says the researchers underestimate(低估)the number of child deaths due to hunger.The researchers say there are findings that support this treatment but more studies are needed to compare it to hospital care.

For centuries people dreamed of going into space. This dream began to seem possible when high-flying rockets were built in the early 1900s.

In 1903 a Russian teacher named Konstantin Tsiolkovsky figured out how to use rockets for space travel. His plan was the first one in rocket science to use correct scientific calculation. About 30 years later, a U.S. scientist named Robert Goddard built the first rockets that could reach high altitudes. During World War II, German scientists built large rockets that could travel very far and carry dangerous explosives. After the war, scientists from Germany went to the United States and the Soviet Union to help those countries build space rockets.

These two countries were soon racing to get to space first. Each of these countries wanted to prove that it was stronger and more advanced than the other one. Both countries also had powerful bombs. People in the United States were worried when the Soviets were first to launch a space satellite, which was called Sputnik. The Soviets were also first to send a person into space. Yury Gagarin orbited the earth in the Vostok I spaceship in 1961.

The US government set a goal for its space program to be the first country to put a person on the Moon. The U.S. space program built a series of Apollo spaceship. These vehicles were powered by huge Saturn 5 rockets. In 1969 Apollo II took three men to the moon successfully. Nell Armstrong became the first person to walk on the Moon.

The Soviets may have lost the race to fly people to the Moon, but they built the first space station in 1971. The United States also built a space station. The space stations allowed people to live and work in space. Then the Soviet Union and the United States cooperated to hook two spaceships together in space. This action ended the "space race". Today a much larger space station, built by several countries together, orbits Earth.

Another new way to go to space is by space shuttle. A space shuttle, first made in the United States in 1981, looks like an airplane. Astronauts who fly spaceships have used shuttles to help put satellites into space.

认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table, I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked,“So, how have you been?”And the boy—who could not have been more than seven or eight years old—replied. “Frankly, I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately.”

This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed” until we were in high school.

The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.

Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why?

Human development is based not only on natural biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new situation. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.

In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation(揭示)machine has been installed in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information, and indiscriminately(不加区分地), to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures.

Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access. Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practiced. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.
