       What does it mean when parents fight?

       It’s hard for most people to hear their parents shouting at each other. You might worry more about one parent or the other during an argument（争吵）. Or maybe you worry that one parent could become angry enough to lose control（控制）. It’s understandable to feel this way when there’s fighting around you.

       If your parents are arguing about you, you might mistakenly think the argument is your fault（错误）. But your parents’ arguments are never your fault.

       If your parents’ fighting really troubles you, you might find it hard to sleep or go to school. If things are going like this, try talking to one or both of your parents about what they are doing. They may not even realize how bad you feel until you tell them how their arguments affect（影响）you.

       If the fighting goes too far, let someone else know what’s going on. Talking to other relatives or a teacher about the fighting can be helpful. Sometimes parents who fight can go so far that they hurt each other or other family members. If this happens, letting someone else know will allow the family to be helped and protected from such harmful fighting.

       Family members can learn to listen to each other and talk about feelings and differences without shouting at each other. They can get help from others with the problem of fighting. Though it may take some work, time, and practice, people in families can always learn to get along better.

       If your family argues from time to time, try not to worry too much: No family is perfect. Even in the happiest home, problems come up and people argue. Usually the family members get what’s troubling them out in the open and talk about it. Hopefully, they can reach some agreement. Everyone feels better and life is OK again.

       Being part of a family means everyone tries to make life better for each other. Arguments happen and that’s OK. But with love, understanding, and some work, families can solve almost any problem.

  51. When parents are arguing about us, we’d better _______.

       A. worry about our mother

       B. not become angry enough to lose control

       C. try to find out our mistakes

       D. understand that it’s not our fault

  52. If your parents fight, you _______.

       A. shout at them            B. go to school              C. talk to them              D. go to sleep

  53. What will happen when the fight goes too far?

       A. Someone in the family may get hurt.

       B. The relatives may know it and come to help.

       C. Parents may realize how bad the children feel.

       D. Parents may reach some agreement and stop fighting.

  54. Which is not true according to the passage?

       A. People argue even in the happiest families.

       B. It’s OK for parents to argue from time to time.

       C. People reach some agreement after fighting.

       D. Love and understanding can prevent parents’ fighting.

（C）

       Have you ever dreamt about the day you can buzz（嗡嗡作响）around in your very own flying machine? Well, that day may be sooner than you think.

       The people at NASA have built something called “The Highway in the Sky.” It’s a computer system（系统）designed（设计）to let millions of people fly whenever they please, and take off and land from wherever they please, in their very own vehicles（运载工具）. And here’s the good news ? a lot of people are building machines you’ll be able to buy.

       One of those people is Woody Norris, inventor of a new personal flying machine called the AirScooter. Norris asked one of his test pilots（飞行员）to show us the AirSoccter on a hilltop in California. It can fly for 2 hours at 55 miles per hour, and go up to 10,000 feet.

       A lot of inventors have tried to cash in on personal flying machines, but they failed to catch on because they were too expensive and hard to fly in bad weather. More important, there was no way to manage all the traffic from millions of them buzzing around ? that is, until now, thanks to “The Highway in the Sky.”

       Here’s how it works: You watch one main screen, almost like a videogame. Keep the plane inside the box, away from other vehicles, and the plane’s computers do the work of flying where you want to go. This $130-million program can also help pilots fly in bad weather. It’s a breakthrough that will some day allow more people to fly than ever before.

       All this new technology（技术）has given new life to the race to build the personal flying machine of tomorrow. What kind of inventions are people working on today? If you can imagine it, someone’s trying it, everything from machines that can fly straight up and down to ones that can go very fast.

       In Texas one inventor is testing the CarterCopter. It can fly straight up and down like a helicopter（直升机）, but can go as fast as an airplane, too. Even the cows are surprised when they see it!

      If you’re interested in something smaller, a strange-looking flying machine called the Springtail is a 21^st Century flying backpack. When it takes off, it’s loud and makes a lot of wind, but the inventors say it’s designed to fly for two hours, at 90 miles per hour, 400 feet above the ground.

       AirScooter inventor Woody Norris, like many of the inventors that we’ve met, believes today’s planes will soon become old and useless, and that “The Highway in the Sky” will be filled with flying machines that we can’t even begin to imagine.

  55. The future flying machine will be able to fly _______.

       A. without pilots                                              B. inside a box

       C. from a highway                                           D. like a helicopter

  56. According to what mentioned in the passage, _______ can fly higher.

       A. A NASA invention                                      B. Norris’s invention

       C. The CarterCopter                                         D. The Springtail

  57. The underlined words cash in mean “_______”.

       A. invent                      B. sell                          C. make money             D. save money

  58. Which would be the best title?

       A. Planes on the High Way                               B. Flying Cars Ready to Take off

       C. High Way in the Future                                D. Traffic Problem to be Solved

       The pollution problem in Beijing is becoming increasingly more troublesome. There are many reasons for this. The number one reason is the fact that there are so many cars. It is said that 1,100 new cars are taking to the streets of Beijing every day since January 1, 2007. That is a very big number. At that rate（进度）, there will be millions of cars by 2008, in which, the Olympic Games will be a great event to the world.

       While it is understandable for people to buy a car when they have enough money, they must also think of the result on the environment. And, to make the traffic and pollution problem worse, people do not follow traffic rules. That makes driving here in Beijing, and being a person walking on the street very difficult.

       What will be done to solve these problems?

Sincerely,

John Smith
