She and her husband began talking to the children. They offered the suggestion:

The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding. 【5】The second is TV. They’ll often play it at high volume. It’s hard to get statistics (统计) on latchkey children, the Longs learned. Most parents are slow to admit they leave their children alone.

【解析】

试题分析:本文属于社会生活类短文,介绍了美国社会中的挂钥匙孩子以及他们所面对的困境。

【1】C 根据横线前句When you live in America, it is not uncommon to see many children coming home from school to an empty house可知很多美国孩子回到家以后,家里没有人在。他们自己照顾自己,有的孩子就通过看电视消磨时间。故C项“Some deal with the situation by watching TV.”符合上下文串联。

【2】F 根据横线前句They’re children who look after themselves while their parents work.这些孩子的父母亲在工作,孩子们只好自己照顾自己。这一社会问题已经引起了人们的广泛关注。故F项“And their bad condition has become a subject of concern.”与上下文一致。

【3】A 根据横线前句There were so many keys. It never came to my mind what they meant.很多孩子把钥匙挂在脖子上,Kate Green起初不知道这是为什么。后来才知道原来这些钥匙是孩子们家里的房门钥匙。这些孩子的父母亲都忙于上班,孩子们要自己照顾自己。故A项符合上下文串联。

【4】D 根据本段最后一句Many had nightmares (噩梦) and were worried about their own safety.可知恐惧是很多挂钥匙儿童最害怕的问题。故D项“Fear is the biggest problem faced by children at home alone.”与本段中心思想一致。

【5】G 根据横线前句The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding.可知挂钥匙孩子对付恐惧的方法之一就是藏起来。那么本句应该叙述孩子们躲藏的地方,故G项“It might be in a shower stall, under a bed or in a closet.可能是淋浴间、床下孩在柜子里”符合上下文串联。

【题目】The human body is designed to move. But modern lifestyles and office jobs rarely give us the chance to move around. As we know. we're while we're eating; we sit in the car and we sit while we watch TV. And many of us sit for many hours at work.

New research shows that sitting less than three hours a day might extend your life by two years. Peter Katzmarzyk,a scientist at the University of Louisiana in the southern United States,says that sitting is ubiquitous in our lives,meaning it is something we do all the time,everywhere.

However,Mr. Katzmarzyk says that does not mean you can sit for the rest of your waking hours. He also says you may exercise often,“We can't throw away physical activity. It's extremely important. We have 60 years of research showing us that.

Mr. Katzmarzyk and his coi leagues are part of a new generation of researchers studying how sitting all day affects length of life. “Studies that have assessed the relationship between sitting and mortality(死亡率)or television viewing and mortality are very rare. There's only been a few of them,actually five or six now,in the last four or five years. ”They found that cutting television time to less than two hours a day could add one-point four years to life.

Luckily,change is already coming to some offices,especially in the design of desks. A “standing desk”lets people stand while they work. Another new design is called the “treadmill desk. A treadmill is an exercise machine that lets you walk in one place Even some U. S. schools are beginning to experiment with desks that are part bicycle to keep children moving.

B. Exercise is important and don't sit too long.

C. Watching TV is bad,but can broaden one's horizons.

D. Stopping watching TV is a necessary but hard task.

D. It's not ignored by many experts.

【题目】Freda Bright says, “Only in opera do people die of love.” It’s true. You really can’t love somebody to death. I’ve known people to die from no love, but I’ve never known anyone to be loved to death. We just can’t love one another enough.

A hear-warming story tells of a woman who finally decided to ask her boss for a raise in salary. All day she felt nervous and late in the afternoon she summoned the courage to approach her employer. To her delight, the boss agreed to the raise.

The woman arrived home that evening to a beautiful table set with their best dishes. Candles were softly glowing. Her husband had come home early and prepared a festival meal. She wondered if someone from the office had tipped him off, or --- did he just somehow know that she would not get turned down?

She found him in the kitchen and told him the good news. They embraced and kissed, then sat down to the wonderful meal. Next to her plate the woman found a beautifully lettered note. It read: “Congratulations, darling! I knew you’d get the raise! These things will tell you how much I love you.”

Someone has said that the measure of love for his wife is love without measure. What this man feels for his wife is total acceptance and love, whether she succeeds or fails. His love celebrates her victories and soothes her wounds. He stands with her, no matter what life throws in their direction.

Upon receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, Mother Teresa said, “What can you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family. And love your friends. Love them without measure.”
