In my long years of teaching, I often ask my student to read the texts until they can recite them, and I tell them that recitation is an important part of their homework. However, some of my students are tired of doing so, thinking that it is both hard and useless. They argue that it takes a long time to recite a text from memory and text itself never appears in a test paper.
In my opinion, it naturally takes time to recite a text, but it is worth doing so. When you are able to recite a text, you are sure to be familiar with the words and expressions. When you need them in reading or writing or doing exercises, they will come to your mind quickly, and so you will give quick response to all kinds of language situation. How can we say that it is useless?
Besides, many students complain that they soon forget what they were once able to recite. This is true, but you don’t need to worry. While you are reading and forgetting the texts, your language level is being raised. Sure you don’t remember your Chinese texts that you once read in the primary school, but now you are able to read novels and newspaper. So, recitation of the texts will help you improve your language ability.

A.But they don’t like to do so.
B.And they are eager to do so
C.But they wrote a letter to the Department of Education reporting the thing.

It is important for Americans to thank other people for favors even if what the other person did was very small. Both children and older people should be thanked for any kind act. The person accepting the thanks usually says something to make the favor seem small, or says that it was his pleasure to help you, or simply, “ You’re welcome.”
It is equally important to apologize when you have hurt or disappointed someone. When possible, you should always add a reasonable explanation or excuse for your behavior. When there is some loss or damage to personal property(财产), the person responsible(负责) for the loss should both apologize and offer to pay for the item.
Most of the time the other person accepts the apology graciously and doesn’t show any disappointment or anger. But if the problem was really serious or it happened several times before, the person might say something how he feels.

School uniforms（制服）are becoming more and more popular across the U.S.A. That’s no surprise，because they offer many benefits. They immediately end the powerful social sorting and labeling （标记）that come from clothing. If all students are dressed in the same way，they will not pay too much attention to their clothing，and some of them will not be laughed at for wearing the “wrong” clothes.
Some people are against the strict rule of school uniforms，but they do not realize that students already accept a kind of rule — wanting to look just like their friends. The difference is that the clothing students choose for themselves creates social barriers（障碍）; school uniforms tear those barriers down.
As in other places，uniforms remind the wearers of their purposes and duties. For example，when a man or woman puts on a police uniform，he or she becomes，for a time，the symbol（象征）of law and order. The uniform means to the wearer his or her special duties and sends the same message to everyone the wearer meets. People with different jobs wear uniforms of one kind or another. For students，the school uniform reminds them that their task for the six or seven hours they are in school is to get an education.
Some parents are unhappy about uniforms，saying that school uniforms will affect their children’s “creativity”. First，as noted above，the clothes students choose to wear do not necessarily express their individuality （个性）. They just copy their classmates. Second，students have the rest of the day to be as creative as they like. While they’re in school，their job is to master reading，writing，and maths; this should take up all the creativity they have. Mastery of those skills will be good for the students to build up their creativity in every way.
61. In Paragraph 1，the word “benefits” probably means       .
A. tasks        B. messages       C. differences      D. advantages
62. From the passage we learn that uniforms in general       .
A. prevent the wearers from being laughed at
B. help the wearers keep their duties in mind
C. are seen as a symbol of power      D. help to create social barriers
63. Some people are against school uniforms because       .
A. they fail to realize that students have accepted the uniforms
B. they believe that uniforms will make students less creative
C. they don’t agree that uniforms can remove social barriers
D. they think that school uniforms are too popular
64. The author would probably agree that       .
A. it makes no difference whether to wear school uniforms or not
B. students’ individuality may not come from school education
C. students’ creativity is related to the clothes they choose
D. school uniforms help to create equality among students
65. School uniforms are becoming more and more popular and important because _____
A. they can stop the powerful social sorting and labeling.
B. if all students are dressed in the same way，they will not pay too much attention to their clothing.
C. uniforms can remind the wearers of their purposes and duties
D. school uniforms will affect their children’s creativity.

How to protect children web fans from unsuitable materials on-line while encouraging them to use the Internet has long been discussed in the US. For some time, the Internet seems like a forest, filled with danger for children. But forests have wonders as well as dangers, and with good guides, some education and a few precautions (预防措施), the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated (航行). "Children have to be on-line. If we tell our children they can't have chances to the Internet, we're cutting them off from their future," said an expert.
Most children have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding lots of interesting Internet sites and they can also go to places where you might not want them to go. There are such engines made just for children. A certain software (软件) contains only sites that have been selected as safe. The most popular way to limit chances would be to use what is known as a "content screener (过滤器)". But this can't be wholly safe, and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Another way is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing the Internet.
A few other tips:
1) Don't put the PC in a child's room, but keep it in a place where mum or dad can keep an eye on things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.
2) Ask your child not to give on-line strangers personal information, especially like address and phone number.
3) Tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on-line over the phone, send them anything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you'd like to.
56. What is the main subject about the passage?
A. Fighting against children on-line.         B. Internet in America.
C. American children going on-line.         D. Children's web sites.
57. What is the best way to protect children from improper material?
A. To talk to children and persuade them to tell right from wrong.
B. To be nearby when they are surfing the Internet.
C. To fix a content screener on the computer.
D. To buy some search engines for children.
58. Which of the following is right according to the passage?
A. Surfing the Internet is the best way of educating children.
B. Using a content screener is safe for stopping children having chances to the Internet.
C. Searching engines can stop children from reading materials unfit for them.
D. Children's not having chances to the Internet may have effect on (影响) their progress.
59. According to the passage, we can infer(推断) that _________.
A. the writer doesn't encourage children to surf the Internet
B. the Internet has a lot of harmful sites
C. the Internet is a forest full of danger
D. a child who is on-line is dangerous
60. What does the passage tell us most?
A. Education.      B. Good guides.      C. Precautions.      D. Software.
