His grandparents buy him many things, and yet he is still rude to us. He refuses to spend time with us or do as we tell him. Sometimes he acts as if he doesn’t even love us at all.Now he refuses to do his homework, and instead insists on wasting his time watching DVDs and listening to foreign music.

He is wasting valuable time during this important period in his life!What am I to do? At present, to prevent making his mother unhappy with an argument, I am allowing him his freedom.

But now a host of websites are springing up,providing free practical advice on these subjects and actually anything else you can think of.In one sense, these ―how-to‖ sites represent a part of the growing world of online learning. This tradition found one of its earliest forms in the FAQs---or Frequently Asked Questions files—that began on Usenet, the Internet’s global, discussion group .These FAQs, many of which still circulate, took a specific subject—and explained it to complete novices.But ―how-to‖ sites take the FAQs idea in a somewhat different direction by addressing subjects that aren’t necessarily related to discuss ion forums(论坛). These sites take the style of a written tutorial (teaching period )and a tone of friendly advice. Possibly the biggest and best known of these sites is learn 2. com(). It offers nearly 1000 free tutorials and adds new ones frequently for a job interview.At ehow. com() you can learn how to train for your first marathon, how to buy a vacation home , or how to make a movie in eight steps.46.

It can be inferred from the passage that .A. ―how-to‖ sites are specially designed for the disabledB. people can teach themselves at home by visiting ―how-to‖ sitesC. it is p leasant to listen to the advice on ―how-to‖ sitesD. you can just click your mouse at home to question anything50. According to the text , if you want to buy a tent for camping you may visit .A. B.

The woman finally half-entered one of the buses and asked the driver if the bus she wanted stopped at that corner.The driver looked at her but made no answer, so she repeated the question. To her surprise, he then closed the door on her arm, and drove off.The woman, her arm stuck in the door, ran alongside the bus, shouting. Passengers said the driver stopped after almost a block only because they, too, were shouting.When the driver finally did stop and open the door, the woman jumped on the bus to get his bus number. Then he took off again and went another couple of blocks before other shouting passengers persuaded him to stop and let the woman off.After the driver’s bosses at a tax-supported governmental company(CTA) heard of the incident, they looked into it and set his punishment: a five-day suspension(停职) without pay. That struck me as rather light.But Bill Baxa, the company’s public-relations man, said, ―That’s pretty serious punishment.‖Five days off work is serious punishment for dragging a woman alongside a bus by her arm? Baxa said, ―Any time you take money away from someone, it is a terrible punishment. The driver makes $14 an hour. Multiply that by 40 and you can see what he lost.‖Yes, that comes to $560, a good sum. But we know that people in the private company arefired for far less every day. If the people who run the bus company think that the loss of a week’s pay is more than enough, I offer them a sporting suggestion: Give me a bus. Then have their wives stick their arms in the doorway of the bus, and I’ll slam the door shut, start the bus quickly and take them for a fast one-block run.And I’ll pay $560 to anyone who is bold enough to try it. Any taker? Mr.Baxa? Anyone? I didn’t think so.51. The nurse half-entered one of the buses because _______.A. the bus they wanted didn’t stop thereB. she wanted the driver to stop the busC. she wanted to get some information from the driverD. she and her uncle couldn’t wait any longer at the corner52. How many blocks was the woman away from the corner where she waited when the bus driver finally let her off?A. Almost one blockB. Almost two blocksC. Probably three blocksD. Probably five or six blocks53. Why did the author offer a sporting suggestion?A. Because the CTA paid little attention to the incidentB. Because the bus driver had not been firedC. Because he wanted to threaten the CTA peopleD. Because he thought the punishment was a light one54. From this passage we infer that ______.A. many people in the private sector are fired for minor mistakes every day.B. People in the private sector usually get more punishment than those in the public sectorC. People in the private sector get much higher pay than those in the public sectorD. People in the private sector are better trained than those in the public sector55. Which of the following is NOT true? _______A. The company is a bus company supported by the government.B. The writer and Mr. Baxa disagreed with each other on the bus company’s decisionC. The driver finally stopped the bus under the pressure of the passengers.D. The writer asked the bus company to give him a bus if his suggestion was refused.(D)As a youngster, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfather’s farm in western Pennsylvania. Surrounded by miles of winding stone walls, the house and field provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me. I was used to tidy living rooms that seemed to whisper, “Not to be touched!”I can still remember one afternoon when I was eight years old. Since my first visit to the farm, I had wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb the stone walls surrounding the houses. My parents would never approve. The walls were old;some stones were missing, others loose and falling. Still, my idea to climb across those walls grew so strong that finally, one spring afternoon, I had all my courage to enter the living room, where the adults had gathered after Sunday dinner.“I, uh—I wanna climb the stone walls,”I said. Everyone looked up. “Can I climb the stone walls?”Immediately voices of disagreement went up from the women in the room. “Heavens, no! You’ll hurt yourself!”I wasn’t too disappointed;the response was just as I’d expected. But before I could leave the room, I was stopped by my grandfather’s loud voice. “Now hold on just a minute,”I heard him say. “Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself.”“Go,”he said to me, “and come and see me when you get back.”For the next two and a half hours I climbed those old walls—and had the time of my life. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventures. I’ll never forget what he said. “Fred,”he said, smiling, “You made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember, there’s only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.”Many years have passed since then, and today I host the television program Mister Rogers’Neighborhood, seen by millions of children throughout America. There have been changes over the years, but one thing remains the same:my message to children at the end of almost every visit. “There’s only one person in this whole world like you,”the kids can count on hearing me say, “and people can like you exactly as you are.”56.
