An Iowa high school counselor gets a call from a parent protesting the “C” her child received on an assignment. “The parent argued every point in the essay,” recalls the counselor, who soon realized why the mother was so disappointed about the grade. “______67______”
In a survey, 90% of new teachers agreed that involving pare nts in their children’s education is a priority at their school, but only 25％described their experience working with parents as “very satisfying.” _____68______73％of new teachers said too many parents treat schools and teachers as enemies.
At a time when competition is rising and resources are limited, when battles over testing force schools to adjust their priorities, when cell phones and e-mail speed up the information flow and all kinds of private ghosts and public quarrels slip into the parent-teacher c onference, it’s harder for both sides to step back and breathe deeply and look at the goals they share. _____69_____ But what most teachers feel, and certainly what all parents feel, is anxiety and panic.
When a teacher asks parents to be partners, he or she doesn't necessarily mean Mom or Dad should be camping in the classroom. _____70______According to research based on the National
Education Longitudinal Study, a sample of nearly 25,000 eighth graders, among four main areas of parental involvement (home discussion, home supervision. school communication, and school participation), home discussion was the most strongly related to academic achievement.

Guns have a special place in American culture, and though not everyone agrees on whether or not they are a good thing, there is no mistaking that they will be part of the cultural landscape for some time. To answer the question, no, not everyone has a gun._____67_____.Americans use guns for one of two uses: either for sport, where they can use them on firing ranges or for hunting in approved areas, or for self-protection. The latter is where most people begin lo take sides, either arguing for the removal of guns from society or allowing more people to have hem. There are organizations and community groups for both sides and both sides have strong feelings.
Legally, there are restrictions on gun owners._____68_____.Only certain kinds of weapons can be purchased by the public, and that excludes automatic weapon and military grade weaponry
Gun owners must transport their weapon in a safe way, unloaded and in most cases, out of sight. Special—concealed carry permits from the police station must be obtained for people who want to wear weapon, and most people are rejected for this kind of permit. ______69______. Criminals steal guns or buy them illegally to commit crimes, and the news is foil of terrible stories of what happened next. Occasionally a child will get a hold of legal weapon and accidentally hurt themselves or others.
It is important to remember, however, that the news stories that make the United States seem like a dangerous place are deceiving; guns are not everywhere or constant.______70_____. After all. America is a safe place to live.

Globalization has significantly influenced food consumption in most parts of world, but one country whose food has a long history of being globalized is Italy. If you walk down any main street in any major world city, you will find at least one Italian restaurant. Furthermore, Italy has
seen changes in its own eating habits due to influence from other countries.
Food has always been very important for Italian families. Italians take a lot of pride in the making and preparation of food. Until recently, pasts---a basic Italian food---would have been made by people in their local area. Families would also have made the sauces to eat with the pasta at home._______67_______.
Nowadays, however, Italian eating habits appear to have changed. People no longer spend so much time preparing their meals. Indeed, frozen or takeaway Italian meals have become very popular in Italy. Furthermore, dried pasta is now mass-produced and sold relatively cheaply in the last five years, according to one manufacturer. _______68_____. This trend is more common in urban areas such as Rome, Milan and Venice, although many smaller towns are also experiencing similar changes.
These changes have both advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, globalization has increased the range of food available in Italy. Italians now have much more choice in terms of what they eat. They also do not need to spend so long preparing and making food, unless of course they want to. In contrast, it can be argued that large restaurant chains are becoming increasingly powerful, resulting in the destruction of local and national specialties. _______69______.
_______70_______. Convenience foods have replaced many of the traditional home-cooked meals, and the availability of foreign fruits has greatly increased. While this extra choice is welcomed by some, others fear that the damage it may cause to Italian traditions.

“My work is done.” Those words were some of the last penned by George Eastman. He included them in his suicide note. They mark an ignoble end to a noble life, the leave taking of a truly great man. The same words could now be said for the company he left behind. Actually, the Eastman Kodak Company is through. It has been mismanaged financially, technologically and competitively. ______67______. One of America’s bedrock brands is about to disappear, the Kodak moment has passed.
But George Eastman is not how he died, and the Eastman Kodak Company is not how it is being killed. Though the ends be needless and premature, they must not be allowed to overshadow the greatness that came before. Few companies have done so much good for so many people, or defined and lifted so profoundly the spirit of a nation and perhaps the world. ______68______.
Kodak served mankind through entertainment, science, national defense and the stockpiling of family memories. Kodak took us to the top of Mount Suribachi and to the Sea of Tranquility. It introduced us to the merry old Land of Oz and to stars from Charlie Chaplin to John Wayne, and Elizabeth Taylor to Tom Hanks. _____69_____. When that sailor kissed the nurse, and when the spy planes saw missiles in Cuba, Kodak was the eyes of a nation. From the deck of the Missouri to the grandeur of Monument Valley, Kodak took us there. Virtually every significant image of the 20th Century is a gift to generation from the Eastman Kodak Company. _____70_____. Yes, there were photographers, and for relatively large sums of money they would take unnatural pictures in studios and formal settings. But most people couldn’t afford photographs, and so all they had to remember distant loved ones, or earlier times of their lives, was memory. Children could not know what their parents had looked like as young people, grandparents far away might never learn what their grandchildren looked like. Eastman Kodak allowed memory to move from the uncertainty of
recollection, to the permanence of a photograph. But it wasn’t just people whose features were savable; it was events, the precious times that families cherish. The Kodak moment, was humanity’s moment.

Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make. One important question that you might ask yourself is “How do I get a good job?”_______67______.
There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and land the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all．Still others believe that the in person, door-to-door approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time．______68_______. He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them．His father was a farmer, and being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream．One day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick．Without stopping to think, the lad（少年）offered to take his place．_____69______.
_______70______. If the lad had gone home to ponder（考虑）his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance．It is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well.
Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to land plum jobs（美差）．When you go for a job interview or fill out an application, you are expected to say nice things about the company to which you are applying．But there was one person who landed an excellent job by telling the interviewer all the company’s faults. :And within a year this person had become general manger of the company.

This is a dangerous world we live in.The number of murders goes up every year,people are dying of cancer, more people contract（感染）HIV,more teens are using drugs,etc.You know this because you've heard all the statistics on the news and in the paper. _____67______. The numbers are going up,but how do they compare to the growth in population? Are more cases of these diseases being reported because of better testing techniques,or are the diseases more common?The fact is that without knowing the background statistics mean very little.
______68______. For example,several years ago a high school student reported the dangers
of the chemical known as dihydrogen monoxide（一氧化二氢）.This chemical,found in most cancerous umors（肿瘤）,is often found in the blood of people drunk on alcohol,and causes complete physical and mental dependence for those who take the chemical even once.After reading his report,more than 75% of his Advanced Placement Chemistry class voted to forbid this dangerous chemical!Every one of the above statements is true,yet this chemical is necessary to all life on earth.The students made the mistake because they voted knowing only a few statements and statistics,rather than the chemical's full background.
_______69______. When one finds a new fact or number,one should try to consider other important information before forming an opinion with only half-truths.Always remember that the author is trying to convince you of his or her own view,and will leave out information that is different to his view.For example,look again at the statistics that suggest skiing is safe.Only people may die each year when skiing,while 897 die from lightning strikes,but which is really the most dangerous?If you think about it,you realize far fewer people go skiing each year than the number of people who are in danger of a lightening strike.When you think about it,skiing is more dangerous than you might at first think when looking at statistics. ______70_____. To be warned is to be prepared.

Today’s workplace is unique in history. Never before have we seen people working together who represent such different backgrounds and experiences. This difference of age, race, gender, and work style makes it very difficult to organize and run a company.
________67_______. Increasingly, managers are discovering that age differences among workers are a major cause of concern.
This has been an important realization. The management difficulties and challenges have led some experts to study intergenerational differences for an understanding of problems in the workplace. What they have discovered is interesting and may provide ways of improving working conditions in companies that employ individuals from different generations.
The first thing to realize, they say, is that differences of opinion about the importance of work and how to get work done are not a coincidence. _______68_______. In fact, if employers do not pay attention to these differences, it is possible that anger will build up between people and lead to difficulties in the company.
Resentment(仇恨) between members of different generations, if not attended to, can lead to extreme anger and unhappiness and even lasting enmity(敌意) if people are not careful. ________69_______. It is natural for individuals from the same generation to form alliances(联盟), to come together for protection. Different generations represent different experiences in life, and these lead naturally to different opinions about oneself and one’s approaches to work.
If you were raised in a time of plenty, when products were readily available and relatively inexpensive, you would believe that prosperity is natural and expectable. If, on the other hand, you were raised in a time of scarcity, you would always be careful not to waste things for fear you would not have enough. You would make angry people who seem to believe that problems will always solve themselves. ________70________. It is difficult, in such circumstances, to achieve a happy, agreeable atmosphere in the workplace.

As recently as 15 years ago, if you wanted to catch up on the news, you could look at a handful of publications or a few nightly programs. And if you wanted to listen to music, you could turn on MTV or fiddle with your radio. People in major cities had more opinions, because a large population can support specialty shops. _______67______ .
Today, as we all know, access to information has exploded. One consequence, according to Toure, a cultural critic writing in Salon, is that the ability of pop culture to unify us- he refers to the massive interest in Michael Jackson’s Thriller, or Nirvana’s Never mind-has been eroded, probably forever. Steven Hyden, also writing in Salon, counters that whatever the advantages and disadvantages of a centralized pop-culture authority, the monoculture never actually existed.
_______68______. Even when it supposedly existed, its content largely depended on other characteristics of your little corner of the world. In the 1992-1993 school year, I was a student at a multiracial and relatively urban junior high school in California’s central valley. We listened to Salt-n-Pepa, Snoop Doggy Dogg, and Kris Kross, with the latter having inspired a trend in which kids wore their clothes backwards. The next year I was enrolled in a mostly white junior high school in leafy Chiago suburb. One of the houses was famous for having appeared in the 1990 film “Home Alone”; the popular bands were Nirvana, Hole and the Smashing Pumpkins; and the biggest pop- cultural event of the school year was Kurt Cobain’s suicide.
But Toure’s point is about the virtues of common cultural experience. It seems he is recalling
centralized media only insofar as it’s a distribution system that fostered that outcome. _______69_______. It doesn’t matter whether a record is released by an important label or an indie (独立制片人); if it’s online, people can usually find, forward,share and promote it. But what’s interesting and perhaps surprising, given that both Toure and Mr Hyden seem to agree that the old distribution favored big media-is that we still have widely shared cultural experiences. Just think of Barack Obama doing the little hand gesture from Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies ” video.
_______70_______. It’s safe to say that the monoculture never really existed,and that some artists still reach a wide audience, whether we like it or not.

Parents are often upset when their children praise the homes of their friends and regard it as a slur (诋毁) on their own cooking, or cleaning, or furniture, and often are foolish enough to let the
teenagers see that they are annoyed. ______67______. Such a loss of dignity and a kind of childish behavior on the part of the adults deeply shocks the teenager, and makes them decide that in future they will not talk to their parents about the place or people they visit. Before very long the parents will be complaining that the child is so secretive and never tells them anything, but they seldom realize that they have brought this on themselves.
Disillusionment(醒悟) with the parents, however good and adequate they may be both as parents and as individuals, is to some degree inevitable.
______68______. Parents would be greatly surprised and deeply touched if they realized how much belief their children usually have in their character and correctness, and how much this faith means to a child. If parents were prepared for this teen-aged reaction, and realized that it was a sign that the child was growing up and developing valuable powers of observation and independent judgment, they would not be so hurt, and therefore would not drive the child into opposition by offending and resisting it. The teenagers, with his passion for sincerity, always respects a parent who admits that he is wrong, or ignorant, or even that he has been unfair or unjust. ______69______.
Victorian parents believed that they kept their dignity by retreating（伪装）behind an unreasoning authoritarian attitude; in fact they did nothing of the kind, but children were then too frightened to let them know how they really felt. ______70______. It is always wiser and safer to face up to reality, however painful it may be at the moment.

The war on smoking, now five decades old and counting, is one of the nation's greatest public health success stories - but not for everyone.
As a whole, the country has made amazing progress. In 1964, four in ten adults in the US smoked; today fewer than two in ten do._______67_______.
Their failure is the greatest disappointment in an effort to save lives that was started on Jan.11,1964, by the first Surgeon General's Report on Smoking and Health. Its finding that smoking is a cause of lung cancer and other diseases was major news then. The hazards of smoking were just starting to emerge.
The report led to cigarette warning labels, a ban on TV ads and eventually an anti-smoking movement that shifted the nation's attitude on smoking. Then, smokers were cool. Today,many are outcasts, rejected by restaurants, bars, public buildings and even their own workplaces. Millions of lives have been saved.
The formula for success is no longer guesswork: Adopt tough warning labels, air public service ads, fund smoking cessation programs and impose smoke-free laws. _______68______. If you can stop them from smoking, you've won the war. Few people start smoking after turning 19.
_______69______. The 10 states with the lowest adult smoking rates slap an average tax of $2.42 on every pack -- three times the average tax in the states with the highest smoking rates.
New York has the highest cigarette tax in the country, at $4.35 per pack, and just 12 percent of teens smoke, far below the national average of 18 percent. Compare that with Kentucky, where taxes are low (60 cents), smoking restrictions are weak and the teen smoking rate is double New York's. Other low-tax states have similarly dismal records.
Enemies of high tobacco taxes cling to the tired argument that they fall disproportionately on the poor.______70_______. The effect of the taxes is amplified further when the revenue is used to fund initiatives that help smokers quit or persuade teens not to start.
Anti-smoking forces have plenty to celebrate this week, having helped avoid 8 million premature deaths in the past 50 years. But as long as 3,000 adolescents and teens take their first puff each day, the war is not won.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Pride and Prejudice by English novelist Jane Austen is one of the most popular. tales ever written. ______67______. In her own time, Austen's name never appeared on her books.
In Pride and Prejudice, she was simply the author of Sense and Sensibility, which had carried the title By a Lady." The anonymity (匿名）worked so well that even friends of the Austen family had no idea that dear, sweet Jane was a novelist. A friend of Jane's brother Henry actually told him that Pride and Prejudice was "much too clever to be the work of a woman."
______68______. Tom Paine, a Founding Father of the United States, kept his identity hidden for a short time after the publication of his famous Common Sense. For a woman, however, there was the added burden of societal expectations. Any sort of publishing or public display of talent was considered improper behavior for a woman. As Virginia Woolf, another English writer, declared in A Room of One's Own: "I would dare to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman."
It wasn't only fear about "bad manners" that discouraged women from writing under their
own names._______69_______. Charlotte Bronte author of Jane Eyre, once sent her poetry to Robert Southey, a famous poet. Southey simply responded: "Literature cannot be the business of a woman's life." Bronte used her pen name, Currer Bell, to publish Jane Eyre in 1847. Her sister Emily published Wuthering Heights as Ellies Bell in the same year.
The 20th century saw great progress towards gender equality. In theory, it should be unnecessary for women writers to follow Austen's path any longer, unless driven by personal reasons._______70______. Joanne Rowling, author of the Harry Potter novels, was advised to become J.K. Rowling. That's because boys might dislike the feeling of picking up a book by a woman, Connie Ann Kirk explained in her biography (传记)of Rowling.

The use of mobile wallet is growing. In fact, total mobile transaction is expected to increase almost 32% from 2016-2017 globally, to USD1.35 trillion in 2017, according to a study by Juniper Research.
______67______. In a study released by Discover Global Network and 451 Research, 52
percent of respondents aged 25-34 say they believe mobile payments are more secure than traditional credit cards. But just 24 percent of respondents aged 55 and older say they can rest assured.
So, how can retailers and wallet providers build a foundation of trust and begin to shift consumer perceptions? One word: tokenization（标记化）.
Tokenization is the process of substituting a cardholder’s 16-digit account number with a payment token. Payment tokens limit the impact of a data breach（破坏）because tokens are limited to use on specific devices, for specific merchants, for specific types of goods and services. If a data breach occurs, the payment token is immediately removed and replaced with a new one. _____68_____.
Here are three benefits to tokenization you should begin educating your consumers on:
1. Restricted control limit usage of each payment token to a specific merchant. _____69______.
Thus, its value can be reduced to hackers seeking to commit online fraud(欺诈).
2. Payment tokens can reduce the need for cardholders to manually update their payment information when their card number changes. If a merchant stores tokens instead of PANs on their e-commerce site and the customer’s payment card is lost, stolen or expired, the payment token automatically updates on the customer’s merchant profile.
3. _______70______. By storing payment tokens instead of the customer’s card number, the customer only needs to enter his or her CVV or CV2 number to complete the transaction.

In the 19th century, millions of European went to the USA because they wanted to find a better life. Many of them couldn’t find work in cities like New York. ______67______. The people, called settlers, travelled west through the mountains on the Oregon Trail.
Some of these people hoped to find gold in California. The journey sometimes took more than one year. There are a lot of films, called Westerns, about the settlers on the trail. In most of the film, we see the Native Americans (American Indians) attacking the settlers, and the “Indians” killing many white people. ______68_____. In fact, most of them were very helpful to the settlers.
It is true that the settlers’ journey was extremely difficult. Many of them walked 3,200 kilometres, the whole length of the trail. The had wagons, but the wagons were often too full, so people could not travel in them. ______69______. The people were very poor and many did not even have shoes— they walked the whole trail barefoot, in extremely could temperature.
More than 50,000 people, including many women and children, died on the trail. A lot of people died from illnesses like cholera, because the drinking water wasn’t clean.

“Opinion” is a word that is used carelessly today. It is used to refer to matters of taste, belief, and judgment. This casual use would probably cause little confusion if people didn’t attach too much importance to opinion. Unfortunately, most believe it is of great importance. “I have as much right to my opinion as you to yours,” and “Everyone’s entitled to his opinion,” are common expressions. _______67______.
Is that label accurate? Is it intolerant to challenge another’s opinion? It depends on what definition of opinion you have in mind. For example, you may ask a friend “What do you think of the new Ford cars?” And he may reply, “In my opinion, they’re ugly.” In this case, it would not only be intolerant to challenge his statement, but foolish. ______68______. And as the old saying goes, “It’s pointless to argue about matters of taste.”
But consider this very different use of the term, a newspaper reports that the Supreme Court has delivered its opinion in a controversial(有争议的) case. ______69______ They stated their considered judgment, painstakingly arrived at after thorough inquiry and careful consideration.
Most of what is referred to as opinion falls somewhere between these two extremes. It is not an expression of taste. Nor is it careful judgment. Yet it may contain elements of both. It is a view or belief more or less casually arrived at, with or without examining the evidence.
______70______Of course, this is not only permitted, but guaranteed. We are free to act on our opinions only so long as, in doing so, we do not harm others.

Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month. ______67______.
One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories ______68______. We know that while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强）connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.
Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons(神经元）in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day. “Sleep is the price we pay for learning,” says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea.
Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right. ______69_______. synapses (神经键) in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.
If Tononi's theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a night's, we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information — our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.
Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. ______70_____. “You keep what matters,” Tononi says.

If women are mercilessly exploited(利用)year after year, they have only themselves to blame.

When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes and announcing sadly she has nothing to wear.
Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend large sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have._______68________.
No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with necessary things like warmth, comfort and durability.
________69________. There can hardly be a man who hasn't at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or picking her way through deep snow in high heeled shoes.
When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious.

Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide.
