Tourists from land-locked regions are particularly easily attracted by the magic of the wavesHowever，a calm ocean can become risky without warningMake sure you swim near a lifeguardSwimming without lifeguard protection is almost five times as great as drowning at a beach with lifeguardsNever swim aloneMany drownings involve single swimmersWhen you swim with someone else，if one of you has a problem，the other may be able to get help，including signaling for assistance from othersDont fight the currentThe facts show that some 80 of rescues by lifeguards at ocean beaches are caused by currentsThese currents are formed by surf and gravity，because once surf pushes water up the slope of a beach，gravity pulls it backThis can create concentrated rivers of water moving offshoreIf you are caught in a rip current，dont fight it by trying to swim directly to shoreInstead，swim parallel to shore until you feel the current relax，then swim to shoreMost rip currents are narrow and a short swim parallel to shore will help bring you to safety46When coming to Virginia Beach，children can enjoy the happiness of .Awalking on the road made of wood Bjoining the nightspotsChaving interesting rides Dskiing in the sea47Many people believe the best time to visit Virginia Beach may be .Aafter autumn school term beginning Bin the slimmer vacationCduring the Christmas holiday Din the cold winter48Swimming in the sea youd better not swim .Awith a friend Bwithin the sight of the lifeguardCwith the current Das far as you like49From the passage，we can know .Aone in five persons swimming in the sea is drownedBif one with lifeguard were drowning，five persons without lifeguard would beCsome 80people drowning by the currents are rescued by lifeguardsDsome 20drowning by the currents are rescued by life guards50The passage mainly tells us .Asome safety tips when swimming in the seaBthe happiness and excitement the beach offersCVirginia Beach has all the elements of a classic seaside resortDthe dangers for tourists from land-locked regions to swim in the seaB Oh,you must have been a spoiled(宠坏的) kid. You must be really bossy. I wonder what youre going to be like to deal with? Thats often the response Angela Hult gets when people find out shes an only child,she told ABC News, Despite such negative(消极的) remarks,Hult has decided to have only one child herself. And shes not alone. According to the US Office for National Statistics,women approaching the end of their childbearing years had an average of l.9 children in 2004, compared with 3.1 for their counterparts in 1976. The percentage of one-child families in Britain had risen from 18 percent in 1972 t0 26 percent in 2007. But even though only children are becoming increasingly common,the traditional view that theyre selfish,spoilt and lack social skills holds strong. Even parents of only children,like Hult,are made to feel guilty about having only one child. Worried that theyre being selfish and endangering their childs future,they flock to online discussion forums seeking advice. Soon, however,they ask themselves: is this social prejudice really reasonable? There have been hundreds and hundreds of research studies that show that only children are no different from their peers(同龄人) , Susan Newman,a social psychologist at Rutgers University in the US,told ABC N This raises another question: why are only children still viewed with such suspicion? There is a belief thats been around probably since humans first existed that to have just one child is somehow dangerous,both for you and for the cont.inuation of your race, Toni Falbo,a professor of educational psychology,told the Guardian. In the past a lot of children died, Youd have had to be crazy to only have one. Times,of course,have changed and infant mortality(婴儿死亡率) has largely reduced. So what do only children themselves say? Kayley Kravitz,a blogger for The Huffington Post,grew up as an only child and highly recommends the experience. Being an only child taught me the most valuable skill of all: the ability to be alone, she said.51. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. Are only children lonely:? B. Are only children common? C. Are only children dangerous? D. Are only children different?52. What does Susan Newman mean? A. Only children are as good as their peers. B. Only children are more selfish and spoiled. C. Parents feel guilty about having only one child. D. Parents will endanger their only childs future.53. What is the common belief since human existed? A, The infant death rate always stays high. B. People are crazy to have only one child. C. Its easy for only children to earn their living. D.Its hard to continue the family line with only one child.54. An only child like Kayley_. A. must be difficult to persuade B. can possibly learn to be alone C. should value special skills D. need ignore bad experience55. Whats the authors attitude towards having only one child? A. Neutral. B. Negative. C. Positive. D. Doubtful.CA baby born in India has been declared the worlds seven billionth person by child rights group Plan InternationalBaby Nargis was born at 07：25 local time(01：55GMT)in Mall village in Indias Uttar Pradesh statePlan International says Nargis has been chosen symbolically as it is not possible to know where exactly the seven billionth baby is bornIn addition to baby Nargis in India，Bangladesh，the Philippines and Cambodia have all identified seven billionth babiesThe United Nations estimated that on Monday 31 Octoberthe worlds population would reach seven billionPopulations are growing faster than economies in many poor countries in Africa and some in AsiaAt the same time，low birth rates in Japan and many European nations have raised concerns about labor shortagesPopulation experts at the United Nations estimated that the world reached six billion in October 1999They predict nine billion by 2050 and ten billion by the end of the century Chinas population of one and a third billion is currently the worlds largestIndia is second at 12 billionBut India is expected to pass China and reach one and a half billion people around 2025India will also have one of the worlds youngest populationsEconomists say this is a chance for a so-calleddemographic dividendIndia could gain from the skills of young people in a growing economy at a time when other countries have aging populationsBut economists say current rates of growth，although high，may not create enough jobsAlso，the public education system is failing to meet demand and schooling is often of poor qualityAnother concern is health careNearly half of Indias children under the age of five are malnourished(营养不良).Michal Rutkowski，the director of human development in South Asia at the World Bank, says reaching seven billion people in the world is a good time for a call to actionHe says，“I think the bottom line of the story is that the public policy needs to become really，really serious about sex equality and about access to servicesto fight against malnutrition，and to provide for access to health services，water and schooling”56What is true about the worlds seven billionth
