formed. when a person does a certain thing again, he is driven by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly, then a habit is formed. once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. it is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation of habits. children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. older persons also form bad habits lasting as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by them.there are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help. many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and so on.among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. these are all easily formed habits. unfortunately older persons often form habits which could have been avoided(避免).we should keep away from(远离) all these bad habits, and try to form such habits as will be good for ourselves and others.56. _ are formed little by little.a. good habit b. both good habits and bad habits c. bad habits d. either good habits or bad habits57. the underlined word them in the first paragraph refers to _.a. bad habits b. good habits c. children d. other persons58. generally speaking, its difficult for one _ and easy for them _ which should be avoided.a. to form bad habits; to form good habitsb. to get rid of bad habits; to form good habitsc. to form such habits as will be good; to get rid of bad habitsd. to form good habits; to form bad habits 59. why should we pay much attention to the formation of habits?a. because its hard and sometimes even impossible to throw away bad habits.b. because a man can never get rid of a habit.c. because habits are of great help to every one of us.d. because we are forced to do them again and again.60. according to the passage, early rising _.a. has something to do with successb. is an easily formed habitc. is such a habit as will be kept d. is such a habit as should have been avoidedbthe child of today owes much of its pleasant school life to the work of maria montessori and others who felt as she did. maria montessori was born in 1870 in northern italy. both her parents were well educated. while maria was a student, she took great interest in the study of the particular nature of the childs mind. it came to her that small children should have freedom(自由) to learn. maria became a doctor and a professor at rome university. in 1907, after working with backward students, she was given a chance to try out her ideas on children. there were sixty children, aged three to six, in the childrens house. the rooms were bright and colorful. maria let the children make their own choice of what they wanted to do and work with their own speed. they became busy, peaceful and happy.maria montessori was one of the worlds great teachers. she traveled in europe, america and far east. she thought that true education, providing(提供) for the real needs of the child, would produce wise and happy grown-ups and therefore a peaceful world. her original way of education has changed our whole idea of what childhood is. maria montessori died in holland at the age of eighty-two.61. the short passage is mainly about_.a. the education of backward studentsb. a new idea of educationc. the life of maria montessori d. the importance of proper education62. maria traveled a lot in the world to _.a. teach the backward students b. enjoy her life in real naturec. study the situation of education

taught them by showing them how to do things.d. she just let them choose the most interesting subjects.64. we learn from the passage that _.a. maria fully understood the childs mind b. maria didnt get marriedc. marias own parents were her teachersd. maria left her homeland in order to study abroad65. which of the following best explains why maria was one of the worlds great teachers?a. she taught backward students in many different countries and let them learn freely.b. she taught the backward students very successfully and produced a peaceful world.c. she showed great love for the children and trained them in a new way.d. she created a new way in teaching, which changed the old idea of childrens education.caids threat to asia growsnew delhi-just a few years ago, mala was a typical middle-class indian housewife. she cooked, cleaned and looked after her two small children.last year, her life took a tragic turn. her husband died of aids; she was found out hiv-positive（爱滋病病毒检验呈阳性反应） and her mother-in-law took her children away from her, saying they would get the disease. “when friends dropped for a visit, she would introduce me, saying, she is my sons widow. she has aids,” said mala. aids is now described as “explosive(炸药)“ around the world. a study of a hospital in the port city of durban in south africa, where the worlds biggest and africas first aids conference opened last sunday, found that almost half the beds in medical wards(病房) were occupied by aids patients. south africa has one of the worlds fastest growing hiv infections(传染), with 1,700 people infected daily, adding to the 4.3 million, or 10 percent of its population, living with hiv. until now, asia has been more successful in holding the aids virus(病毒) than africa, where the disease has killed about 12 million people . aids is now threatening to surround many of asias poverty-stricken countries. countries in asia, such as cambodia, and thailand, have hiv infection speeds over 1 percent. but the low speeds hide huge numbers of affected people, because of the population base. in india, for example, 3.7 million are infected, more than in any other country except south africa. in china, an estimated 500,000 people, mainly drug users, live with hiv/aids. gordon alexander, a senior advisor for un aids in india, estimates (估计) that the number hit by aids in asia will climb about eight million over the next five years from about six million. in many asian countries, the battle against hiv is a social and cultural one against public discussion of sexual health and put a nationwide media campaign into action to limit the speed of hiv through unsafe sex. brenton wong, an official for singapores action for aids, says the actual hiv incidence in the city state of 3.9 million people is at least eight times higher than official data. “shame and deny is still very, very common, so people are afraid to get tested and many times wont even tell their families if they test positive,” said wong. 66. what does the underlined word “she” refer to?a. mala b. malas mother-in-law c. malas mother d. malas sister67. it is judged that there are_people hit by aids in asia or so. a. 6 million b. 4.3 million c. 8 million d. 3.7 million68. according to the passage, the main reasons that aids spread in china is through_. a. blood b. unsafe sex c. love d. drugs69._is the second largest country which has more hiv infection all over the world. a. india b. south africa c. china d. thailand70. why are people afraid of being infected by aids?a. because people who have aids are looked down upon.b. because they will suffer a lot. c. because they will die sooner or later as a result of it. a. ab b. ac c.abc d. bcd“congratulations, mr. jones, its a girl.” fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different answer from every man who hears these words. some feel proud when they receive the news, while others worry, whether they will be good fathers. although there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experience with them, others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them. many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time. for other couples, pregnancy(怀孕) was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly. whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the change from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task. yet, unfortunately, few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this resocialization process(过程). although a good many books have been written about american mothers, only recently have some books discussed the role of a father. it is argued by some writers that the transition(变换，转化) to the fathers role, although difficult, is not nearly as great as the transition the wife must make to the mothers role. the mothers role seems to require a complete transformation in daily routine(生活规律) and adaptation to (适应) a new life, on the other hand, the fathers role is less demanding and immediate. however, even though we have mentioned the fact that growing numbers of women are working outside the home, the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the household. 71. according to the author, being a father _.a. brings a feeling of excitement to some menb. has a different meaning for those who have daughtersc. makes some men feel proud and others uneasyd. means nothing but more responsibilities (责任)72it is stated in the passage that _. a. young couples do not like children at allb. some parents are not prepared to have a child c.
