Dear Laura,

I just heard you tell an old story of gift giving and unselfish love in your program. You doubted that such unselfish love would happen in today’s world. Well, I’m here to give you 36 .

I wanted to do something very 37 for my fifteen year old son, who has always been the perfect child. He 38 all summer to earn enough money to buy a used motorcycle. Then, he spent hours and hours on it 39 it looked almost new. I was so 40 of him that I bought him the shiniest helmet and a riding outfit.

I could 41 wait for him to open up his gift. In fact, I barely slept the night before. Upon awakening. I went to the kitchen to 42 the coffee, tea, and morning goodies. In the living room was a beautiful keyboard with a 43 : “To my wonderful mother, all my love, your son.”

I was so 44 . It had been a long standing joke in our family that I wanted a piano so that I could 45 lessons. “L earn to play the piano, and I’ll get you one” was my husband’s 46 .

I stood there shocked, crying a river, asking myself how my son could 47 this expensive gift.

Of course, the 48 awoke, and my son was thrilled（激动的）with my reaction. Many kisses were 49 , and I immediately wanted him to 50 my gift.

As he saw the helmet and outfit, the look on his face was not 51 what I was expecting. Then I 52 that he had sold the motorcycle to get me the keyboard.

Of course I was the proudest mother 53 on that day, and my feet never hit the ground for a month.

So I wanted you to know, that kind of love still 54 and lives even in the ever changing world of me, me, me!

I thought you’d love to 55 this story.

Yours,

Hilary

P.S. The next day, my husband and I bought him a

new “used” already shiny motorcycle.

注意：每空1个单词。

When it comes to the world of computers, green computing is becoming popular. But what is green computing?

The term “green computing” is one that is being used in many different markets and areas all over the world in today’s global technology. However, many computer users aren’t sure what it means. Green computing is actually quite easy to explain and to do—it is basically learning to use computer resources more efficiently to protect the environment as well as saving energy. The main goal is to reduce the use of energy and materials that harm the environment.

Green computing started as early as 1992, when the EPA created Energy Star program that improved computing equipment and technologies. Because of this program sleep pattern appeared and many computer users began to adopt this policy to help save energy when they were not using their computers. In October of 2006, Energy Star made the requirements stricter for computers. Because of these new requirements, there are over 20 states that have now set up a special recycling program for old computers to help with green computing.

Many of today’s IT systems are beginning to rely on both people and hardware to help push their computer systems toward a more green computing system to help both the company and others. This is a hard balance to achieve, as it has to satisfy users. Many companies are learning the best ways that they call go greener when it comes to their computing and also help their business in the process. While many home computer users may not be quite as familiar with green computing as large firms, this term is starting to become more mainstream all around the world.

阅读理解，阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　“A very disruptive(调皮捣蛋的)six-year-old child kicked my legs and clawed at my hand”, said one teacher．“l broke up a fight and was kicked between my legs．”said another．Many people have heard stories like this．But the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents．

　　Every child, regardless of the circumstances into which they are born, has the right to achieve their potential, regardless of their parents’ wealth and class．And we recognize that, as a nation, it is a long way to achieve this goal．But with rights come responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of neglecting the latter．

　　Far too many children are behaving badly at schoo1．even to the point of being violent to staff．This is terrible enough, but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behavior of their parents．

　　My members tell me that parents also come into school often and threaten staff and some staff have been attacked by a pupil's parents．One father encouraged his child to start a fight in the playground before school started．A primary teacher reported that a parent shouted at him．We need to have a serious and sensible debate about the roles and responsibilities of parents and the support that they can reasonably expect of schools and teachers．

　　Children will not learn how to behave as social beings if they are stuck in front of the TV for hours everyday．They need their parents to show an interest in them and to spend time with them, helping them to play with their peers and to learn the rules of social behavior．

　　Children are now arriving at school socially undeveloped, increasingly unable to dress themselves, unable to use the toilet properly, unable to hold a knife and fork and unused to eating at a table, Mary Bousted, general secretary of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers, writes in today's Observe．Instead of taking responsibility themselves, too many parents expect teachers to control their children's behavior and wellbeing．she adds．Bousted says one mother blamed staff when she discovered that her 16-year-old son was smoking．

　　We are in danger of becoming a nation of families living Separate lives under one roof．The bedroom, once a place to sleep, has become the living space for the young．Spending hours in front of computer screens, on social networking sites or being immersed(沉迷于)in computer games, children and young people spend little time with their parents．Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching．

　　Schools cannot fight the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute parents．Both parties need to work together．Parents must be helped and given confidence to take back control．They are responsible for setting boundaries for their children's behavior and sticking to those boundaries．They are responsible for setting a good example to their children and for devoting that most precious of resources-time-so that children come to school read and willing to learn．

(1)

In the opinion of the writer, what problem do people ignore?
[　　]
A．	The violence in the schoo1．
B．	The study pressure of students．
C．	The responsibilities of the students．
D．	The right to achieve students’ potential．

(2)

The underlined part in Paragraph 7 means ________．
[　　]
A．	parents care little about children's life at home
B．	parents and children live in their separate rooms
C．	children don't live with their parents in the same house
D．	children live a different life from that of parents at home

(3)

The author's attitude to the behavior of parents may be ________．
[　　]
A．	dissatisfied
B．	indifferent
C．	understanding
D．	tolerant

(4)

From the last paragraph, we can infer that ________．
[　　]
A．	teachers have no responsibility for playing the role of parents
B．	schools can't correct the wrongs that society does to teachers
C．	students are responsible for making themselves known in society
D．	parents should spend time with children to make them ready to learn

(5)

What is mainly discussed in the text?
[　　]
A．	Parents expect teachers to correct their children's bad habits．
B．	Don't blame teachers when it's parents who are failing．
C．	There is no point in parents’ educating children at home．
D．	Children's behavior at school is worrying people．
