    Certainly dustmen prefer to be known as "Reuse Collection and Disposal Officers". You may think that this is rather    36  , and it is better to call a spade a spade. But dustmen can be as    37   as people of any other occupation, though we must     38    that their job is not a    39     one in the world. We often take dustmen for granted. Perhaps because they usually come very early in the morning, before most people are     40    .We are likely to forget their     41    .Our dustbins are    42    regularly, but we    43     stop to think about the men who do this. However, it is one of the most important jobs in the world, and when there are no dustmen to    44    the rubbish, the general    45    soon becomes aware that something is wrong. Recently, the dustmen of England went on strike for higher wages.

During the first few days it was regarded as a    46   .But when the first two weeks had passed, and the dustbins were overflowing in nearly every backyard in the country, the joke did not seem so    47    any more.    48    the strike continued, people could not    49    the hills of rubbish around their dustbins, and they looked for other places in which to    50   it. Even Leicester Square, in the heart of West End of London, was    51    high with plastic bags full of smelly rubbish. This was a（n）    52    attraction that the people of London were not at all     53    to see. Even when the strike was over, it took several weeks for the country to get cleaned up completely. Perhaps now the English people appreciate the work of    54   dustmen rather more    55    and won't take them for granted any more.

For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?

Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit .any responsibility for starting it . From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way , except oppositely . Both feel trapped.

In this article. I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over         unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends .Second, blaming, the goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right, It doesn’t matter what the topic is –politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg –the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority(权威) --- someone who actually knows something --- and therefore to win respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to think that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.

Why does the author compare the parent—teen war to a border conflict?

A. both can continue for generations.    B. Both are about where to draw the line

C. Neither has any clear winner        D. Neither can be put to an end

What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.

B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict

C. The teens accuse their parents of misleading them

D. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents

Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ________.

A. give orders to the other           B. know more than the other

C. gain respect from the other        D .get the other to behave properly

Dear editor,

Your ever,

For the person keeping a journal, whatever he experiences and wants to hold he can write down. But to get it down on paper begins another adventure. For he has to focus on what he has experienced, and to be able to say what, in fact, the experience is. What of it is new? What of it is remarkable because of associations in the memory it stirs up? It is a good or bad thing to have happened? And why, specifically? The questions multiply  (增多) themselves quickly. As one tries to find the words that best represent this discovery, the experience becomes even clearer in its shape and meaning.

Beyond the value of the journal as record, there is the value of the discipline it teaches. The journalist begins to pay closer attention to what happened to and around himself. He develops and sharpens his skills of observation. He learns the usefulness of languages as a means of representing what he sees, and gains skill and certainty in the expression of his experiences. To have given up one’s experience to words is to have begun marking out the limits and potential of its meaning. In the journal that meaning is developed and clarified (澄清、阐明) to oneself. When the intention of the development of that meaning is the consideration of another reader, the method of the journal redirects itself and it becomes the essay.

According to the author, keeping a journal is good for ________.

A. observation and expression

B. certainty and discipline

C. experience and adventure

D. consideration and development

By keeping a journal, one can ________.

A. develop the usefulness of language

B. develop his memory

C. clarify the consideration to everyone

D. have a thorough understanding of his experience

Which of the following statements is NOT correct?

A. The journalist can express what has happened.

B. A journal can serve as a record of the past happening.

D. Writing helps develop the consideration of others.

The passage is mainly about ________.

A. how to write a journal

B. the expressions of a journal

C. the values of keeping a journal
