These shops included drugstores, restaurants, shoe-repair stores, and barber or hairdressing shops. 36 in the 1950s, a change began to take place. Too many cars had crowded into Main Street while too few parking places were 37 to shoppers. Because the streets were crowded, merchants began to look with 38 at the open spaces outside the city limits. Open space was what their car-driving 39 needed. And open space was what merchants got 40 the first shopping centers were built.

There are also signs, says Professor Martin, that an unusually large number of such children are mentally affected.The professor says, “Its true, my personal feeling is that children should stay in one school. Our findings are based on research and not on any personal feelings that I or many assistants may have on the subject.”Captain Thomas James, an Army lecturer for the past 20 years and himself a father of two, said, “Ive never heard of such rubbish. Taking me for example, no harm is done to the education of my children, who change schools regularly if they keep to the same system, as in our Army schools. In my experienceand Ive known quite a few of them Army children are as well adjusted as any others, if not more so. What the professor doesnt appear to appreciate is the fact that in such situation children will adapt （适应）much better than grown-ups.”When this was put to Professor Martin, he said that at no time had his team suggested that all children were backward or mentally affected in someway, but simply that in their experience there was a clear tendency（倾向性）.“Our findings show that while the very bright children can deal with regular changes without harming his or her general progress in studies, the majority of children suffer from constantly having to enter a new learning situation.”51. Professor Martins report suggests that _.A. it may not be good for children to change schools too oftenB. parents should not move around the countryC. the reason of children making slow progress is that they have changed schools D. more and more children are mentally affected52. According to the passage, Professor Martins personal feeling _.A. is the opposite of what his report has shownB. is in a way supported by his researchC. has played a big part in his researchD. is based on the experience of own children53. From the passage, we can conclude that Captain James children _.A. have been affected by changing schoolsB. go to ordinary state schoolsC. can get used to the Army school educationD. discuss their education very well54. About children and grown-ups, Captain James says that children _.A. are generally well-adjustedB. are usually less experiencedC. can adapt much more easilyD. can deal with changes quickly55. According to Professor Martin, _ suffer from changing schools regularly.A. army childrenB. quite a few childrenC. bright childrenD. slow childrenBOur 16-year-old daughter started to smoke last Christmas. It killed me to see that lovely girl with a cigarette(香烟) in her mouth. I told her how I felt. Martha continued to smoke, saying, “Its my life,” and so on. I told her if she didnt stop smoking, I wouldnt send her to college. She agreed to give it up.Last night there was cigarette smell on Marthas breath. She had to say she had broken her word. Now I must do what Ive said to punish(惩罚) her.Martha is unusually bright and wants to teach children. Im working full-time to put her older sister through school and would do the same for Martha. My husbands pay is good, but with prices going up all the time we could never educate the girls unless I kept on working.My theory(理论) is that if smoking is more important to Martha than college, Im a fool to work to put her through college.56.

The mother thought that _.A. she was a foolish woman working hardB. it was right for her to pull Martha out of collegeC. smoking was too bad a habit (习惯) for a young girlD. Martha would rather lose her life than stop smokingCFrom age eight to eleven, I attended a small school in Bath, England. It was a small school of four classes with about twenty-five children in each class according to age. For the most part, one teacher had to teach all subjects to the children in the class . However ,sometimes the headmaster, Mr. Ronald Broaches, would come in and spend an hour or so ,teaching some subjects in which he was especially interested .He was a large man with a very happy nature. He had a sense of humor and loved telling the children small stories that would make us laugh. He was a very nice man and had a great influence on many of the children. In my own case, I found that he took great interest in me and he quickly found that I enjoyed puzzles. He would often stop me as I was going to class and take a piece of paper out of his pocket, often with a puzzle already on it. The puzzles were usually mathematical or logical （逻辑的）.As time went on, they slowly got more difficult, but I loved them. Not only that, they made me interested in math and problem-solving that stays with me to this day. They also showed me that intellectual（智力的）activity was enjoyable when the correct answers were found, but perhaps more importantly it was great fun. To this day, I can remember Mr. Broaches cheerful cry of “Well done!” whenever I got a problem right. The simple communication（交流）with a man whom I loved greatly has had a deep influence on my life. I shall forever be thankful that we met each other. Mr. Broaches died just two weeks after I had won the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Unluckily, I had no chance to speak to him before he died. I learnt later he had heard of my success and I will hope that he knew the deep influence he had made on my life.61.

Enough cookies, Cola, and chips! It seems that junk food is all that the children want to eat these days. Television controls their tastes. The kids see well-known people eating potato chips, candy and other processed(加工过的) food, and they want to be like their heroes. do they do it? They eat the same food. I wish there were more characters like old Popeye （大力水手）the sailor, who ate spinach（菠菜）and not French fries.Now I dont expect my children to eat healthy food because I like brown rice(糙米),beans, and fresh vegetables. Im glad to cook traditional meals of meat and potatoes for them. I really cant be too upset with the kids because most adults arent careful about what they eat. The other night, my wife and I went to a party where there was plenty to drink but very little for us to eat. They served hot dogs, with all those preservatives, and hamburgers were filled with chemicals so that they looked better. Besides the meat, they had sugar filled cookies and cake, and of course, chips. I dont want the world to change because of me, but I think that people should realize that there are alternatives to eating meat. They always tell me that I probably dont get my essential proteins. I feel better than ever and Im sure that its because Im a vegetarian（素食主义者）. I would really like to see more television advertisements which show the benefits of good, healthy, and natural food.66. According to the passage, it seems that _.A. the children like to have fried chicken onlyB. the kids prefer to have cold drinks but not junk foodC. canned food is the only one that the kids enjoy mostD. the children like nothing better than junk food：cookies and chips67. The narrator _.A. required rich foodB. gave an example of having junk food frequentlyC. complained about the food the party had servedD. suspected both the adults and the children to be healthy68. Hamburgers look better _.A. but taste badB. because they are treated with chemicalsC. so the narrator prefers them to hot dogsD. and the narrator expects the children to eat them69. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Television influences childrens food choice.B. The narrator is not single and definitely he eats meats.C. Though the narrator is a vegetarian, he feels very healthy.D. It is certain that brown rice, beans and spinach are not junk food.70.
