And they must have 36 how difficult it is to write a 37 childrens book. Either the author has aimed too 38. , so that the children cant follow what is in his (or more often, her) story, 39 the story seems to be talking to the readers. The best childrens books are 40 very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the 41 who hears the story and the adult who 42 it. Unfortunately, there are in fact 43 books like this, 44 the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not 45 to solve.This may be why many of books regarded as 46 of childrens literature were in fact written for 47 . “Alices Adventure in Wonderland” is perhaps the most 48 of this. Children, left for themselves, often 49 the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in bookshop or 50 and he will more willingly choose the books 51 in an imaginative way, or have a look at most childrens comics (连环画), full of the stories and jokes to which both teachers and right-thinking parents 52 . Perhaps we parents should stop trying to persuade children into 53 our taste in literature.

Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30% of all pilot-error accidents that are related to fatigue（疲劳）.Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband. The device, worn by drivers or pilots gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey. After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel(方向盘). A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the drivers response.Tiredness is directly related to a drivers response time. Usually, a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond, but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds, it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy. In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds, showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest. If the drivers response continues to slow down, the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warns that the driver must stop as soon as possible. The device has been delivered to the departments laboratories for testing. If these tests, scheduled for six months time, are successful, the makers will bring the product to market within about a year.56. How should a driver respond to the sounds from Driver Alert?A. By sounding a warning. B. By touching the wristband.C. By checking the driving time. D. By pressing the steering wheel.57. We can learn from the text that the driver needs to stop for a break when his response time is _A. about 400 milliseconds B. below 500 milliseconds C. over 500 milliseconds D. about 4 minutes58. When the driver gets sleepy while driving, Driver Alert _.A. moves more regularly B. stops working properlyC. opens the window for the driver D. sounds more frequently and loudly 59. According to the text, Driver Alert _.A. aims to reduce tiredness-related accidents B. has gone through testing at laboratoriesC. aims to prevent drivers from sleeping D. has been on sale for 12 months The magnitude 7.9 quake struck Sichuan province on May 12 at around noontime, which may have increased the human death toll because many people were at school, and the school buildings turned out to be not firm enough to collapse because of poor construction. More than 69,000 people have been confirmed dead so far, and more than 374,000 injured, with fears of further disasters because several lakes created by rockfall dams may give way and cause sudden flooding. Clark Burchfiel, Schlumberger Professor of Geology, and Leigh Royden, professor of geology and geophysics in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences at MIT, have been doing extensive research in that region of China and the Tibetan plateau(高原) for more than two decades, but had found no signs that suggested such a large earthquake might strike the area. The team operated 25 broadband seismograph (地震仪) stations in this region of western Sichuan for more than a year. Nobody was thinking there would be a major earthquake in that area, Royden says. This earthquake was quite unusual, and may have involved a simultaneously（同时发生的） severe break of two separate but neighboring faults, she continued. The region is extremely unusual geologically, Royden says, because of the very steep slopes at the boundary between the Sichuan Basin to the east and the Tibetan plateau to the west. The altitude rises sharply by about 3,500 meters (more than two miles) over a span of only about 50 kilometers (about 30 miles). The area where the quake occurred is part of the boundary between two of the Earths structural plates, where the Indian and Asian plates meet in an ongoing collision that has created the Himalayan mountains and the Tibetan plateau. But in central and eastern Tibet, unlike most other areas of continental collision, much of the movement of crust（地壳） is hidden from view. Instead of thickening the entire crust by folding and faulting, the surface of the eastern Tibetan plateau is not deformed（变形的） and is being lifted upward by thickening of a weak crustal layer more than 15 km below the surface.60. Why did the school buildings collapse in the earthquake, according to the passage?A. They had too long a history. B. They were poorly built. C. They were crowded with students and teachers. D. They were damaged by the earthquake.61. Based on Para. 1, why does the writer think that more people will be killed or injured after the earthquake? A. Because there will be more aftershocks after the major quake. B. Because more school buildings will collapse after the quake. C. Because destructive flooding caused by rockfall dams is likely to occur. D. Because there was not enough medical care for the injured in the area.62. What can we infer from this passage?A. There was no prediction that such a large-scale quake might occur there.B. Researchers had done little research in that area before the earthquake struck it.C. The 5.12 earthquake was the most destructive in the world.D. If more research had been done, the destruction could have been avoided.63. Which one can be used as the best title for this passage?A. The Great Disasters.B. The Earthquake was very frightening.C. The Causes of the earthquake.D. An Extremely Unusual Earthquake.C Elective coursesInternational Studies (BS)Key features Recognizes the “global community” Has close connections with practical research Much of the teaching is done in small discussion groupsAbout the courseThe course gives you chances to know great power politics between nation states.

By the end of the sixty, after her divorce from actor Mel Ferrer, Audrey decided to retire while she was on top. Later she married Dr. Andrea Dotti.
