He wanted the both of them to ride back to our house so they could play video games and jump on the trampoline (蹦床). I have to admit, part of me wanted to say no. We can go pick him up or his parents can bring him over here, I thought. But my son is eleven years old now. And after all, I do let him ride his bike to school. But I also drive my daughter to school and I can see him on the way, making sure he is getting there safely.My husband thinks I am too overprotective. I dont dare to let my children walk anywhere without one of us going along. As you pull out of our neighborhood, there is a shopping center across the street. My son always asks if he can ride his bike or walk over to the drugstore by himself. But crossing that street is just too dangerous. The cars fly around the corner like theyre driving in a car race. What if he gets hit? What if some teenage bullies are hanging out in the parking lot?I want so much to give my children the freedom that I enjoyed having when I was growing up but I hesitate to do so because there are dangers around every corner. Too many kidnaps, too many sex offenders. I went online and discovered there are 41 sex offenders in my area alone.I honestly dont think my mom worried about such things when her children were young.Growing up in the 1970s was indeed a different time. I never wore a helmetwhen I rode a bike. We were all over the neighborhood, on our bikes and on foot, coming home for dinner and then back out again until dark. We rode in the back of the truck, didnt wear seatbelts. I walked to and from school every day.31What did the author feel reluctant to let her son do?AMeet his friend.

BThe drugstore.CChild abusers. DCars racing by.35What can we infer from the last paragraph?AThe social security back in the 1970s was no better than it is today. BTodays children enjoy more freedom than those in the 1970s.CChildren today are more obedient to their parents.DChildren in the 1970s enjoyed more freedom than those today.36What is the authors main purpose in writing this passage?ATo compare todays social environment with that of the 1970s.BTo show her concern over the increasing crime rate in her neighborhood. CTo describe her hesitation as to how much freedom she should give her son. DTo express her worries about both safety and security in her area.Passage TwoAbout a century ago more people would not have appreciated the study of a foreign language as they do today. Gone are those days when patriotism towards ones own language was a major obstacle to learning foreign languages, a time when most nations were trying to throw their alien rulers out of their countries in their freedom struggles.Gone are those days when people were proud of their mother or father tongues and considered that their native languages alone will suffice the need to survive. Language skills today have become as important as other business and career skills like IT, vocational or professional skills. Thus learning a foreign language today has become essential for an individual whether it is for careers, growing a business, or even to makean impression.All that one needs to possess these days is a drive to learn a foreign language and there are all kinds of institutes and courses that teach various foreign languages like French, German, Spanish, and Japanese. Todays world economy has bridged the barriers of race, sex, color and religion and the world has become a smaller place. Todays businesses also demand language skills to expand and grow in other countries. Tens and hundreds of businesses world wide are expanding and growing their businesses by promoting them in countries other than their countries of origin. The tremendous growth of the Internet has further increased the demand for language skills. In Canada an official rule also says that all commercial establishments must have their websites created both in English and French, the official languages of the country.Language can also ease race and border barriers. You are more welcome in an alien nation if you know the language of the people there and can converse in their tongue. People in these countries immediately respect you and think you care about their culture as much as they do because in any culture language is the key identity.37One of the reasons for not studying a foreign language in the past is .Ait was too difficult Bit was not allowedCit was seen as disloyalty Dit was taught by foreign rulers38According to the article, which of the following is true?APeoples language skills are better than in the past. BForeign language skills are of vital importance.CIts easier nowadays to learn a foreign language.DPeople today are not proud of their native language.39What does “to make an impression” (Paragraph 1) probably mean?ATo remember things. BTo express ideas.CTo show respect. DTo be liked by others.40The world has become smaller because of .Abusiness expansion Bthe growth of the InternetCa globalized economy Dthe learning of foreign languages41According to the article, the growth of the Internet requires .Amore foreign language skillsBmore bilingual websitesCbetter command of EnglishDmore commercial establishments42People in a foreign country will treat you with more respect if you speak theirlanguage because .Athey think you love their countryBthey think you understand their cultureCits easier f
