The unimaginable earthquake in Haiti has shocked the world. Thanks to modern communication technology, the world has seen the scale of destruction by the 7.0- magnitude quake. Images on TV and the Internet show the Haiti capital has been reduced to rubble and helpless survivors waiting for relief.

       So far, at least 50,000 people are feared dead, and tens of thousands left injured or homeless in one of the poorest countries in the West. The number of dead is rising with each passing hour for a few days. Considering Haiti’s total population is only about 8.5 million, the extent of damage will reach every field of the country’s social structures.

       Rescuers from countries such as China, the United States, France and Dominican Republic have already reached Haiti, carrying necessary things like food and medicines, life-detecting devices and other rescue equipment. Politicians，workers and Hollywood actors have opened their wallets and called for donations to help disaster relief. The whole world is ready to help them. The world is a village today where no one can remain indifferent when a neighbor falls in disaster.

       The suffering of people anywhere in the world strikes the hearts of Chinese people. The death of eight Chinese peacekeepers in Haiti has little to do with it. Chinese people feel a special sympathy for Haitians because just less than 20 months ago they were struggling to rise from the earthquake.

       Though Beijing and Port-au-Prince have no diplomatic relations, China was among the first nations to send a rescue team and to announce a donation. In the face of natural disasters, respect for human lives overtakes diplomacy and national boundaries. We share the pain of the Haitian people, and we believe China’s experience in rescue and operations and reconstructions will help reduce that pain.

       The most pressing task after a quake is the golden-hour rescue operation. Many Haitians are buried under rubble, and relentless efforts must be made to save as many of them as possible. Yet there remains a question on how effectively the flows of aid from around the world be managed. It is here that the UN can play the leading role, for it should be responsible for common humanitarian efforts from across the globe to reach the benefits to the maximum number of people.

       After the 2004 tsunami killed more than 200,000 people in Asia, some experts said the UN needed to build a well-equipped and trained force disaster rescue specialists and keep it on standby to help people after natural disasters such as the Haiti quake. It is time the UN gave the idea a serious thought, for a life-saving force could play as important as its peacekeeping soldiers.

60.According to the passage, which of the following is true?

   A.The number of Haiti’s total population is about 8.5 billion

   B.Rescuers from many countries have reached Haiti, carrying necessary things like food, water and medicines.

   C.Chinese people feel a special sympathy for Haitians because we have the same experiences.

   D.The flows of aid from the world has been managed well.

61.The word “indifferent” underlined in the third paragraph most probably means ______.

   A.cruel         B.friendly        C.cold         D.warm

62. We can infer that people around the world actively help the Haitians because ______.

   A.people among countries have close relations

   B.earthquake is a natural disaster, people respect human lives, and show common feelings to people in trouble

   C.people should be responsible

   D.people have ever been rescued by Haitians

63.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

   A.The UN plays an important role

   B.We are with you, Haiti

   C.People share the pain with the Haitian people

   D.Modern communication technology is used widely

       Parents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends．Is this a good thing? Sometimes, when Mr．Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager．

       “I would never have said to my mom, ‘Hey, the new Weezer album is really great．How do you like it?’” says Ballmer．“There was just a complete gap in taste．”

       Music was not the only gulf （分歧）．From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits．

       Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families．Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago．Now they are comfortable and common．And parent-child activities, from shopping to sports, involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood．

       No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, “To my mother, my best friend．”

       But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents．

       “There’s still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening,” says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College．“In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents．”

       Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving（演化的） roles and attitudes．They see the 1960s as a turning point．Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say．

       “My parents were on the ‘before’ side of that change, but today’s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the ‘after’ side,” explains Mr．Ballmer．“It’s not something easily accomplished by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now．”

72．Which of the following shows that the generation gap is disappearing?

       A．Parents help their children develop interests in more activities．

       B．Parents put more trust in their children’s abilities．

       C．Parents and children talk more about sex and drugs．

       D．Parents share more interests with their children．

73．The change in today’s parent-child relationship is ______．

       A．more confusion among parents

       B．new equality between parents and children

       C．less respect for parents from children

       D．more strictness and authority on the part of parents

74．By saying “today’s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the ‘after’ side,” the author means that today’s parents ______．

       A．follow the trend （趋势）of the change

       B．can set a limit to the change

       C．fail to take the change seriously

       D．have little difficult adjusting （调整）to the change

75．The purpose of the passage is to ______．

       A．describe the difficulties today’s parents have met with

       B．discuss the development of the parent-child relationship

       C．suggest the ways to handle the parent-child relationship

       D．compare today’s parent-child relationship with that in the past

Since the job is so _____, why not try a new one and make yourself more _____?

       A．bored; pleasing     B．boring; pleased      C．boring; pleasing     D．bored; pleased
