Write your essay on Answer Sheet 1.1.越来越多的人开始崇尚简单、健康的生活方式;2.造成这种现象的原因:3.我们可以……正确答案:Nowadays more and more people tend to have a simple and healthy living style, hoping that they can live longer and healthier. This phenomenon results from all kinds of health care information from magazines, TV programs, radio programs, and so on. Having a simple and healthy living style is surely good. But many of us don’t know how to establish such a living style. Here are some suggestions. First, set up a balance of work and rest. Only by working happily and having enough rest can we live healthier. Second, eat natural food rather than processed food. Natural food is usually fresher, while processed one may contain some additives which are harmful to our health. Third, be optimistic. Modern people have a lot of pressure. If we are optimistic to our lives, we can adjust ourselves to many conditions and live healthier and happier. In one word, establishing a healthy living style is not very difficult for us if we stick it out.Part II Listening ComprehensionSection A听力原文:W: I’m afraid the project has to be given up.

Write your essay on Answer Sheet 1.1.对于是否应该参加社会实践,大家看法不一2.参加社会实践的重要性正确答案:When it comes to students’ social practice, some people regard it as a waste of time, whereas others argue that participating in various social activities benefits a lot. Personally, I am in favor of the latter view. To begin with, by being more socially involved, we can apply the knowledge we have acquired from textbooks to the solution of practical problems. Only in doing so can we get extra experience outside the Ivory Tower. What is more, getting involved in social practice can help us gain a better insight into what is happening in the world around us, which does good to our further study. Last but not least, social practice will provide us with more opportunities to develop interpersonal skills, which may put us in a favorable position in the future job markets. To conclude, proper amount of social practice does not occupy too much time and should become an indispensable part of school education, for the knowledge we obtain from textbooks in class is far from enough.解析:这是一篇分析型议论文。

The man in focus is Norman Borlaug, the Father of the 'Green Revolution', who died on September 12, 2009 at age 95. Norman Borlaug spent most of his 60 working years in the farmlands of Mexico, South Asia and later in Africa, fighting world hunger, and saving by some estimates up to a billion lives in the process. An achievement, fit for a Nobel Peace Prize. Early Years"I'm a product of the great depression" is how Borlaug described himself. A great-grandson of Norwegian immigrants to the United States, Borlaug was born in 1914 and grew up on a small farm in the northeastern corner of Iowa in a town called Cresco. His family had a 40-hectare (公顷) farm on which they grew wheat, maize (玉米) and hay and raised pigs and cattle. Norman spent most of his time from age 7-17 on the farm, even as he attended a one-room, one-teacher school at New Oregon in Howard County.Borlaug didn't have money to go to college. But through a Great Depression era programme, known as the National Youth Administration, Borlaug was able to enroll in the University of Minnesota at Minneapolis to study forestry. He excelled in studies and received his Ph.D. in plant pathology (病理学) and genetics in 1942. From 1942 to 1944, Borlaug was employed as a microbiologist at DuPont in Wilmington. However, following the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, Borlaug tried to join the military, but was rejected under wartime labour regulations. In Mexico In 1944, many experts warned of mass starvation in developing nations where populations were expanding faster than crop production. Borlaug began work at a Rockefeller Foundation-funded project in Mexico to increase wheat production by developing higher-yielding varieties of the crop. It involved research in genetics, plantbreeding, plant pathology, entomology (昆虫学) , agronomy (农艺学) , soil science, and cereal technology. The goal of the project was to boost wheat production in Mexico, which at the time was importing a large portion of its grain.Borlaug said that his first couple of years in Mexico were difficult. He lacked trained scientists and equipment. Native farmers were hostile towards the wheat programme because of serious crop losses from 1939 to 1941 due to stem rust.Wheat varieties that Borlaug worked with had tall, thin stalks. While taller wheat competed better for sunlight, they had a tendency to collapse under the weight of extra grain - a trait called lodging. To overcome this, Borlaug worked on breeding wheat with shorter and stronger stalks, which could hold on larger seed heads. Borlaug's new semi-dwarf, disease-resistant varieties, called Pitic 62 and Penjamo 62, changed the potential yield of Mexican wheat dramatically. By 1963 wheat production in Mexico stood six times more than that of 1944. Green Revolution in India During the 1960s, South Asia experienced severe drought condition and India had been importing wheat on a large scale from the United States. Borlaug came to India in 1963 along with Dr. Robert Anderson to duplicate his Mexican success in the sub-continent. The experiments began with planting a few of the high-yielding variety strains in the fields of the Indian Agricultural Research Institute at Pusa in New Delhi, under the supervision of Dr. M. S. Swaminathan. These strains were subsequently planted in test plots at Ludhiana, Pantnagar, Kanpur, Pune and Indore. The results were promising, but large-scale success, however, was not instant. Cultural opposition to new agricultural techniques initially prevented Borlaug from going ahead with planting of new wheat strains in India. By 1965, when the drought situation turned alarming, the Government took the lead and allowed wheat revolution to move forward. By employing agricultural techniques he developed in Mexico, Borlaug was able to nearly double South Asian wheat harvests between 1965 and 1970.India subsequently made a huge commitment to Mexican wheat, importing some 18000 tonnes of seed. By 1968, it was clear that the Indian wheat harvest was nothing short of revolutionary. It was so productive that there was a shortage of labour to harvest it, of bull carts to haul it to the threshing floor (打谷场) , of jute (麻黄) bags to store it. Local governments in some areas were forced to shut down schools temporarily to use them as store houses.United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) observed that in 40 years between 1961 and 2001, "India more than doubled its population, from 452 million to more than 1 billion. At the same time, it nearly tripled its grain production from 87 million tonnes to 231 million tonnes. It accomplished this feat while increasing cultivated grain acreage (土地面积) a mere 8 percent."It was in India that Norman Borlaug's work was described as the 'Green Revolution.' In AfricaAfrica suffered widespread hunger and starvation through the 70s and 80s. Food and aid poured in from most developed countries into the continent, but thanks to the absence of efficient distribution system, the hungry remained empty-stomach. The then Chairman of the Nippon Foundation, Ryoichi Sasakawa wondered why the methods used in Mexico and India were not extended to Africa. He called up NormanBorlaug. now leading a semi-retired life, for help. He managed to convince Borlaug to help with his new effort and subsequently founded the Sasakawa Africa Association. Borlaug later recalled, "but after I saw the terrible circumstances there, I said, 'Let's just start growing'".The success in Africa was not as spectacular as it was in India or Mexico. Those elements that allowed Borlaug's projects to succeed, such as well-organized economies and transportation and irrigation systems, were severely lacking throughout Africa. Because of this, Borlaug's initial projects were restricted to developed regions of the continent. Nevertheless, yields of maize, sorghum (高粱) and wheat doubled between 1983 and 1985.Nobel PrizeFor his contributions to the world food supply, Borlaug was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970. Norwegian officials notified his wife in Mexico City at 4:00 a. m., but Borlaug had already left for the test fields in the Toluca valley, about 65 km west of Mexico City. A chauffeur (司机) took her to the fields to inform her husband. In his acceptance speech, Borlaug said, "the first essential component of social justice is adequate food for all mankind. Food is the moral right of all who are born into this world. Yet, 50 percent of the world population goes hungry."Green Revolution vs EnvironmentalistsBorlaug's advocacy of intensive high-yield agriculture came under severe criticism from environmentalists in recent years. His work faced environmental and socio-economic criticisms, including charges that his methods have created dependence on monoculture crops, unsustainable farming practices, heavy indebtedness among subsistence farmers, and high levels of cancer among those who work with agriculture chemicals. There are also concerns about the long-term sustainability of fanning practices encouraged by the Green Revolution in both the developed and the developing world.In India, the Green Revolution is blamed for the destruction of Indian crop diversity, drought vulnerability, dependence on agro-chemicals that poison soils but reap large-scale benefits mostly to the American multi-national corporations. What these critics overwhelmingly advocate is a global movement towards "organic" or "sustainable" farming practices that avoid using chemicals and high technology in favour of natural fertilizers, cultivation and pest-control programmes.注意:此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。

TranslationPart I Writing1.For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition entitled The Gradual Loss of Traditional Culture. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. You should: 1) describe the meaning of cartoon briefly;2) state its main idea; 3) give your comments.正确答案:What we can observe from the above cartoon is that there are two people watching Peking Opera. With the actress performing vividly on the stage, the old man is watching attentively while the little boy sitting beside does not even cast a glance at the actress and falls asleep. It is obvious that he shows no interest in Peking Opera. What the cartoon reflects is an interesting and usual respect of daily life. However, from a deeper perspective, it also reveals the gradual loss of traditional culture in modern society. What exactly contributes to this phenomenon? Possible reasons could be listed as follows: for one thing, some people, especially the young, hold the opinion that traditional culture is out of date, thus failing to keep pace with the life of modern city. Moreover, exotic cultures, to some extent, have great impact on the traditional culture of China. As we can see, a large number of people have been deeply attracted by foreign cultures which have many kinds of feature. However, no one can deny the significance of Chinese traditional culture. It is the crystallization of Chinese wisdom and civilization. It is of great necessity to attach more importance to the traditional culture, because an individual or a nation showing no respect to the essence of traditional culture cannot be expected to develop and be stronger. Hence, something could and should be done to reverse the inexorable decline in the emphasis of Chinese traditional culture.解析:第一段:描述图片的意思(简要说明你从图片看到了什么)。
英语六级试题(一)Part ⅠWritingDirections: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Can Knowledge Change One's Destiny? You should write at least 150 words according to the outline given below.1.有人相信知识能改变命运2.有人则认为当今社会光靠知识已经很难改变命运3.我认为……Can Knowledge Change One's Destiny?Part ⅡReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)Comparing Yourself to Others: It's Not All Bad"To compare is to despair," the saying goes, and I've generally found it to be true. If I try hard enough (and sometimes even if I don't) I can usually find someone who performs better or has more. And I can feel bad about it.I objectively know that my own life is pretty good, but this upward comparison, as economists and psychologists call it, can somehow dim my own accomplishments. "Comparison is rife with danger, but it's understandable why we do it," said Heidi Grant Halvorson, a social psychologist. "We're human beings and we naturally seek information."One way to get information, Ms. Halvorson said, is to turn to experts. Another way is to look at those around us.And often what we see in our neighborhood or community is more important, in our minds, than anything else. Economic studies have shown, for example, that once they make a certain amount of money to cover basics, most people care more about relative, rather than absolute, income. That is, most of us feel better if we make, say, $100,000 if the majority of our neighbors make $75,000 than if we earn $150,000 when most of our friends bring in $200,000.One such study, "Neighbors as Negatives: Relative Earnings and Well-Being", published in 2005 in The Quarterly Journal of Economics, found that "higher earnings of neighbors were associated with lower levels of self-reported happiness." The paper cites the oft-quoted saying by the economist and philosopher John Stuart Mill: "Men do not desire to be rich, but to be richer than other men."Erzo F. P. Luttmer, the author of the study and an associate professor of economics at Dartmouth College, said in a telephone interview that neighbors "influence what you think is a normal lifestyle, and you struggle to keep up."We're often told to avoid comparing, but this is both difficult and not necessarily wise advice in all situations.Ms. Halvorson, who is also author of the book Succeed: How We Can Reach Our Goals, said we needed to think about why we were seeking the information. "Upward comparison can be punishing and make you feel terrible," she said. "But you can also look upward to learn."If we feel bad, for example, about how well we just played in a game of tennis, we can check out those who play worse to make ourselves feel better, and avoid watching the semipros on the other court. Or, if we believe that we can improve and learn by looking at others—and not just feel inferior about playing worse—then we can watch the better players.There are also pros and cons to comparing ourselves with people worse off than ourselves. It's not good if we're just trying to gain a sense of superiority or avoiding challenging ourselves to do better. But such downward comparisons can remind us of our own fortune. They can also help us when we think about the things we regret but we cannot change.As part of a study co-written by Isabelle Bauer, a clinical psychologist in Toronto, 104 people of various ages were asked to complete a survey about their greatest misgivings—choosing the wrong career path, or failing to make amends to someone who passed away or marrying the wrong person.The study found that those who felt that other people had regrets that were "more" or "much more" severe reported an increase in positive emotions when reassessed four months later compared with those who said that other people's regrets were "less" or "much less" severe."If you can't change what you did, then downward social comparison helps us gain perspective," Ms. Bauer said. "And those people are able to move on and re-engage in other goals. If you compare upward about things you can't change, then you seem to just feel stuck." But those who compared themselves downward and had the opportunity to do something about their regrets didn't feel any more positive over time, she said.Comparisons can also serve as a reality check, particularly when speaking about money.My colleague Ron Lieber, for example, wrote about NetworthIQ, a site that allows people to anonymously post their own net worth. Would we be happier and healthier, he asked readers, if we knew the net worth of our friends, colleagues and neighbors?The overwhelming response was no. As one commenter put it: "I am sickened by the idea of calculating one's 'net worth' in terms of money. It's good to have savings and it's good to have a nest in which one can nestle when one exceeds productive years. However, to express your worth in terms of the 'how much?' question is one more step toward dehumanization. I'd rather figure out my net worth in termsof how much I am worth to the world in which I live."Not everyone feels that way, of course, and plenty of people have posted their profiles on .ING Retirement, a United States-based division of the Dutch financial services group, a few years ago introduced , which allows you to anonymously type in your profile—your age, income, gender and marital status.Then you answer some personal finance questions, like the amount of money you've put aside for retirement, your mortgage payments, what you think you'll need to save to retire comfortably and so on. You are then instantly compared with your peers.I answered some of the questions and seemed pretty average. I guess I was pleased our retirement savings were slightly higher than those of the other 1,071 people who answered the question with a similar profile, but I also wasn't sure if I should be. Might it just mean that all of us are saving too little? Was I getting a false sense of security?Not at all, said Denis-Martin Monty, vice president of emerging product development at 1NG Retirement. Rather, it is a useful tool to get us to think about things we often don't want to—like how much (or little) we've put away for retirement.The site was initially tested among 28,000 employees of ING's larger clients. When asked at the end of the survey, 64 percent of those who measured themselves chose to take some sort of positive action, like enroll in a retirement plan or increase their savings rate.Mr. Monty also pointed out that studies show that most of us think we're above average, what he called the Lake Wobegon effect."We tend to overestimate where we stand in comparison to other people," he said. So people aren't necessarily looking at how much more they're actually saving than other people, he said, but how much more they thought they were saving.The site recently hit the million-user mark, Mr. Monty said.David Laibson, a professor of economics at Harvard University, who has looked at the impact of providing peer information on retirement savings decisions (it can be helpful, but not always) agreed that such comparisons can serve a purpose."Comparisons to large groups of peers are often useful," he said. "It's never the final word on what I should do, but it does give me food for thought."I doubt most of us are ever going to stop comparing ourselves with others. The most important point to keep in mind, however, is as Ms. Halvorson said: "There's a lot of imperfect comparison going on. We never see the whole picture."1. What is Heidi Grant Halvorson's view of comparison?[A] It highlights people's achievements in some way.[B] It can be accepted as a way of getting information.[C] It should be blamed for causing hopelessness.[D] It makes people feel satisfied with their own life.2. According to economic studies, what do most people do when they are able to meet their basic need?[A] They are more interested in relative income.[B] They devote themselves to community causes.[C] They desire to become richer and richer.[D] They associate their happiness with their income.3. The author said the advice that people should avoid comparing is ______.[A] sensible [B] constructive [C] unwise [D] easy to follow4. What is the advantage of upward comparison according to Ms. Halvorson?[A] It can lighten people's mood. [B] It motivates people to improve.[C] It gains people a sense of superiority. [D] It helps people get rid of bad habits.5. What did the study co-written by Isabella Bauer reveal?[A] People tend to compare themselves with those worse off.[B] Most people make wrong decisions in their whole life.[C] Downward comparison makes people feel more positive.[D] Upward comparing is more helpful than downward comparing.6. If there is nothing people can do about their regrets, Ms. Bauer suggested that people[A] reflect on their failures alone [B] look upward to learn and improve[C] look at the past to gain a perspective [D] make downward social comparison7. According to Ron Lieber's article, many people thought that knowing the net worth of others ______. [A] helped check their spending [B] had influenced their lifestyle[C] was the source of their misery [D] would not make them happier8. Finding her retirement savings were a little more than her peers, the author doubted if she was getting a wrong ______.9. Denis-Martin Monty said that people tend to ______ their position when comparing themselves to other people.10. According to David Laibson, comparing with large groups of peers helps because it gives people ______.Part ⅣReading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) Section AQuestions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.Schools looking to ban cell phones may have a new excuse: a growing number of people are developing an allergy (过敏) to metal in the devices. We all know that food allergies are on the rise—a study last year placed the rate at 1 per 70 children, compared with 1 in 250 in the 1970s. But at last month's meeting of the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, allergists reported that many substances that once seemed harmless are now leading to allergic reactions too.Allergies can develop when young bodies come into contact with a new substance, and an increasing number of kids have early exposure to tech tools and "adult" products that can lead to a lifetime of reactions. For instance, the nickel hardware often used on phone trim and faceplates can lead to red, itchy (发痒的) skin where the phone is pressed against the face of someone who developed a nickel allergy at a young age. It's especially problematic for women, says Luz Fonacier, an allergist who presented at the conference. Young girls are often first exposed to nickel when they get their ears pierced, and therefore are more likely to develop a sensitivity to the metal that can cause allergic reactions later on.Temporary tattoos (刺青) could be another new allergy trigger. They share a coloring matter used in hair dyes, which can lead to problems down the line. "You might have kids developing the sensitivity now, and then finding out only when they're much older and decide to dye their hair, then have an attack," says Fonacier. Foods that were once considered low risk, like pumpkin, are now causing some allergic reactions too.So what's behind all these new allergens? Some researchers believe that as humans live in cleaner, safer, more disease-free environments, the immune system—given less to do thanks to antibiotics and Clorox—turns on substances once considered safe. Others note that children are being exposed to more and more new foods and foreign substances at earlier ages, which could up the chances of developing a sensitivity. To be safe, Fonacier recommends that children avoid piercing until after age 10. And it's all just another reason to keep those cell phones and temporary tats away from young hands.47. Allergists said some allergic reactions are now caused by many substances once considered ______.48. Phone trim with nickel can lead to allergic reactions if the phone user ______to nickel at a young age.49. Temporary tattoos could ______ allergy because of a coloring mattering they contain.50. According to some researchers, humans' ______ is becoming sensitive to some substances due to the use of antibiotics and Clorox. 51. To reduce the chance of developing a sensitivity, children are advised to ______ before 10.Section BQuestions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.Researchers at the University of California-Berkeley are challenging our long-held belief that humans are hard-wired to be selfish. Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection was misinterpreted by his male popularizers, the researchers say. Rather than "every man for himself", Darwin believed that humans are successful as a species precisely because of our nurturing, selfless and compassionate traits.Why has it taken so long for Darwin's central revelation to be properly interpreted? "We've had too many men in social science," Berkeley psychology professor Dacher Keltner told me in an interview. "Female scientists acknowledge that 'fight or flight' is part of human nature, but so is caring for people." This is no touchy-feely feminist theory. Hard science is showing how the human capacity to care is wired into our brains and nervous systems.In my book Passages in Caregiving, I urge women who assume the whole responsibility for taking care of an elderly parent or chronically ill spouse to build a Circle of Care. Reach out to your brothers and sisters, friends, neighbors and community volunteers to help you care, because no one can perform this overwhelming role alone. You will be as stunned as I to learn how the most selfless caregivers are rewarded with greater longevity (寿命). Stephanie Brown, associate professor of preventive medicine at SUNY-Stony Brook, followed a group of older adults caring for family members with dementia and other illnesses. If they offered care more than 14 hours a week, they were less likely to die in a seven-year period than their peers."Survival of the Kindest" is not just a theory. It is becoming a revolutionary cultural movement. There are many signs that caring is gaining currency. Keltner, who has been studying the science of this instinct for 15 years, says we are coming to the end of our cycle of greed. Berkeley and Stanford universities now have compassion centers devoted to the study and teaching of this theory. It will run up against hostility among the Hobbesians. Ayn Rand wrote, "If any civilization is to survive, it is the morality of selfishness that men have to reject." As Americans, we have a cultural bias against caring.Oh, sure, we give our families gifts generously during the holiday season, but in a capitalist system based on unrestrained competition, we worry that if we care, we lose. Compassion is a woman's word. In men, it's cast as weak, when in fact it makes us stronger under stress and more highly respected by our peers. For so long we have repeated the careless saying "Nice guys finish last." But the 40 richestAmericans who took the Giving Pledge to commit half their fortunes to doing good are no spring chickens. Here is my reinterpretation: Nice guys die last.52. According to the Berkeley researchers, Darwin's central revelation is ______.[A] humans are born to be selfish [B] selfless makes us a successful species[C] fight is not part of human nature [D] care is related to our nervous system53. Professor Dacher Keltner holds that caring for people ______.[A] takes people's time and put them at a disadvantage[B] is the nature of humans just like "fight or flight"[C] isn't a human capacity connected with our brains[D] isn't supported by males due to fierce competition54. What does Stephanie Brown's study reveal?[A] Selfless caregivers tend to have a longer lifespan.[B] Caregivers are more likely to die from heavy workload.[C] Caregivers should turn to community volunteers for help.[D] The longer a person offers care, the less likely he is to die.55. The author quotes Ayn Rand to support the opinion that ______.[A] women should be selfless in order to live longer[B] people must be selfless to maintain the society[C] the cycle of greed must be ended immediately[D] compassion centers are necessary to a civilization56. The author suggests a man with compassion.[A] will live longer than those without it[B] is often regarded as a coward and loser[C] is more likely to be respected by his peers[D] has much greater difficulty in successPassage TwoQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Compared with elderly parents and adult children in five other industrialized nations, Americans are twice as likely to have "disharmonious" relationships, a new multinational study has found. And we're correspondingly less likely to have "friendly" relationships marked by strong affection and relatively free of conflict. The study of nearly 2,700 parents over age 65, published recently in The Journal of Marriage and Family, turned up significant national differences. German and Spanish parents described relationships with their adult children as more detached. The English reported the most friendly families. Israelis operated with a high degree of ambivalence, meaning they indicated strong positive and negative emotions. Norwegians placed somewhere in the middle. And Americans took the prize for conflict—defined as a higher incidence of arguing and criticism. "American families can be characterized by greater strain," said Merril Silverstein, a social gerontologist (老年学专家) at the University of Southern California and the study's lead author.Let's not overstate our conflict. Most American parents —51 percent of the United States sample—still managed to maintain positive connections with their children, and so did a plurality of (多数) those surveyed in other countries. Though the survey didn't attempt to point reasons for discord, the researchers have some theories. They chose countries with very different social policies and with a variety of cultural values relating to families, and they believe these play a role."Though it might be invisible, our choices and our emotions are shaped by the options that are available or not available to us," said Dr. Silverstein. "And that's influenced by where we live." In countries without strong governmental support for the elderly, for example, "families are compelled to care for each other, and it forces them into situations they might not want to be in." Norwegians, for instance, enjoy virtually lifetime state assistance. They don't have to be as deeply involved in their parents' care as, say, Spaniards or Americans. "The idea that families should care for their own is deep-rooted in U.S. ideology," Dr. Silverstein said. But government support is weaker, with more gaps, so we frequently feel we have to face the not-always-harmonious consequences.Cultural variations also enter the equation. In Spain, a far higher proportion of the elderly participants—22.5 percent—lived with their children than was the case in the other nations, a situation that might ease feelings of detachment. As for the English, they have strong social supports, but they also have a cultural tendency to inhibit the expression of strong negative emotion. Israelis, on the other hand, let it all hang out.57. What is said about the relationships between parents and adult children in different countries?[A] Spanish parents have the closest attachment with their adult children.[B] Israelis take a negative attitude to the parents and children relationships.[C] Americans have most disharmonious parents and children relationships.[D] Norwegian people show the relationships in the friendliest way.58. What do we learn from the second paragraph?[A] The majority of parents in the world keep positive connections with children.[B] Most parents don't get along well with their adult children, especially in US.[C] American parents are the most successful in dealing with parent-children relationships.[D] Conflict has been a striking theme in the relationships of parents and their children.59. According to Dr. Silverstein, what is the cause of the problem of American families?[A] The distance between children and elderly parents.[B] The conflict between independence and poor support.[C] The too much parental involvement in children's life.[D] The frequent conflicts between different generations.60. In a disharmonious relationship, Israelis have the cultural tendency to ______.[A] swallow their disappointments [B] express their negative emotions[C] live together to ease detachment [D] solve the conflict in public61. What is the passage mainly about?[A] Social customs in developed countries.[B] Governmental support in the United Sates.[C] Population condition in remote regions.[D] Family relationships in different countries.Part ∨ClozeChildren have been said to have brain-injured child syndrome, hyperactive (极度活跃的) child syndrome and attention-deficit disorder (ADD).
