One potential problem with allowances is that children’s responsible behavior can become about earning the allowance rather than the intrinsic(固有的)value of their family responsibilities. For example, if you pay your children for taking out the rubbish, they see this chore (家務事) as a job that they should be rewarded for instead of a responsibility they must fulfill as part of the family. But giving children an allowance for weekly chores is not necessarily bad. You are rewarding them for fulfilling their family responsibilities, but it is not for a specific act. It is an appreciation of their commitment to your family values. You are also conveying another important message that their actions have consequences: if they do good things, good things happen. They also learn a lesson about the market economy, namely that work is rewarded.
Allowances can also be used as punishment and to teach children lessons about family values. For example, if your children join a group of kids smashing (砸碎) pumpkins on Halloween, a part of a reasonable punishment might be to require them to pay the families out of their allowance to replace the pumpkins. Thus, your children learn that bad behavior has financial consequences. Meanwhile, by relating the punishment to the misdeed, you ensure that your children see the connection and learn the value lesson.
How much allowance should you pay your children? The precise amount depends on your family’s financial situation, the cost of living and your children’s needs. Children can start to earn a weekly allowance as early as 5 years of age. An increase of $ 1 per week for each year of your children’s lives is realistic until they reach their mid-teens. When they begin to drive and date, you can calculate their expenses and establish a reasonable allowance that covers their needs.

  1. 1.

    The first paragraph mainly tells us that giving allowance to children may____________.

    1. A.
      lead to children’s preference for money rather than anything else
    2. B.
      lead to children’s preference for earning money on their own
    3. C.
      cause the problem that children value money more than responsibilities
    4. D.
      cause children to earn money instead of going to school
  2. 2.

    When your children join a group of kids smashing pumpkins on Halloween, ___________.

    1. A.
      you should give them some allowances to pay for the pumpkins
    2. B.
      they should be rid of their opportunity to celebrate Halloween
    3. C.
      you should ensure your children see the connection with their lessons
    4. D.
      they should face the consequence of losing their own money
  3. 3.

    It can be inferred from the passage that_____________.

    1. A.
      the author doesn’t want to give any tips on the allowance amount
    2. B.
      allowances given to children of different ages may vary
    3. C.
      children under 6 can’t be given any allowance
    4. D.
      the allowance amount grows depending on the amount other children receive

As we approach the 21st century，it is clearer than ever that science and technology are changging the way we live and work.The breakthroughs in bioengineering science are helping to reveal the mysteries of life，holding out new hope for lifesaving cures to some of our most dreaded diseases.
In 1997，the great news shocked the whole world that the British scientists created a lamb, named Dolly from a single cell.Miraculously，the cell had been taken from the under of an adult sheep，which marks the first time an adult animal had been successfully cloned.
But it soon caused worldwide concern over its ethical，social，and scientific implications.Cloning is especially controversial because it raises the prospect of“making”humans genetically idenfical to an existing man or woman.Some people claim attempting to use these cloning techniques to actually clone a human being is untested and unsafe and morally unacceptable.
How to look upon this new technique?When it comes to a discovery like cloning,we must move with caution，care and deep concern about the impact of our actions.First，cloning should be greatly esteemed and great thanks should be given to its inventors.Meanwhile，great efforts should be made to place this technique under strict control.Especially we should adopt a document against human cloning since past experience tells us a new invention may cause troubles if it is misused.

Traditional surgical procedures require surgeons to make large incisions(傷口) in a patient’s body in order to gain access to the internal organs. It was once common for heart surgeons, who perform highly specialized and complex procedures, to make long incisions in a patient’s chest and then split the breastbone to reach the heart. Patients who undergo surgery are often at the risk of infection, as bacteria can infect the cut in the skin. In addition, there is often a lengthy recovery period.
A surgical technique known as “keyhole surgery” has become more common in recent years. In general, the surgeon will make a couple of small incisions around the area where the operation is going to be performed. Tubes are pushed into the holes, and a tiny camera, which is called an endoscope, is put into the body. The camera is attached to a large monitor screen that is positioned so that the doctor can see it while he performs the operation. In addition to the camera, doctors also push their tiny surgical instruments through the tubes. The awkward part of keyhole surgery is that it is counterintuitive; that is to say, if a surgeon wants to move the tool to the left, he or she must push it to the right.
Other advancements in technology are also being used today in the OR (operation room). A new machine called the “da Vinci Surgical System” has been tested in hospitals in the U.S.. Unlike keyhole surgery, the da Vinci’s robot’s moving parts are designed to imitate the natural hand and wrist movement of a surgeon, thus providing better control and sensitivity. The system is controlled by a surgeon from a console(控制臺). Sitting at a console a few feet from the patient, the surgeon can perform an operation by holding and moving highly sensitive pads that enable him or her to control the instruments. The area of the body on which the surgeon is working is enlarged on a screen, which is attached to the console. This gives surgeons a realistic three-dimensional view of the area — similar to what they would see during a traditional surgical procedure.
Although the da Vinci Surgical System is undergoing some trials for some procedures, it has been welcomed as revolutionary by many surgeons. Patients with serious illnesses must still undergo major surgery, but the smaller incisions and less invasive procedures typically mean that a shorter recovery time is needed. In some cases, the patient’s stay in the hospital has been cut in half when the da Vinci Surgical System was used. On the downside, some operations have taken up to fifty minutes longer because surgeons are inexperienced at using the new technology. As surgeons become more familiar with the machines, the time needed for surgical procedures is likely to decrease.

  1. 1.

    What can be learned about the traditional surgery according to the passage?

    1. A.
      The cost of the traditional surgery is very high.
    2. B.

    3. C.
      Long incisions are made in a patient’s chest.
    4. D.
      The incision is often infected after the operation.
  2. 2.

    Which of the following is one DISADVANTAGE of keyhole surgery?

    1. A.
      It requires the use of long, thin tools and a tiny camera.
    2. B.
      The doctor can not view the inside of the patient’s body clearly.
    3. C.
      The direction in which a doctor moves the surgical tools is reversed.
    4. D.
      An endoscope has to be inserted into the patient’s body in advance.
  3. 3.

    The da Vinci Surgical System differs from keyhole surgery in that _______.

    1. A.
      requires that a surgeon make more small incisions on a patient
    2. B.
      reduces the amount of time it takes to perform a surgical procedure
    3. C.
      allows the surgeon to use the surgical instruments more sensitively
    4. D.
      eliminates the need for surgeons to make large incisions on patients
  4. 4.

    The passage mainly tells the reader ________.

    1. A.
      the challenges brought about by new technology
    2. B.
      the benefits and drawbacks of the da Vinci Surgical System
    3. C.
