W hen I was a child of seven years old, my friends, on a holiday, filled my pocket with coppers. I went at once to a shop where they sold   16   for children.   17   the sound of a whistle that I had seen by the way, in the hands of another boy, I handed over all my   18   for one. I then came home, and went   19   all over the house, much pleased with my whistle,   20   disturbing all the family. My brothers and sisters and cousins, when I told of   21   I had made, said I had given four times as much as the whistle was worth. They put me      22   what good things I might have bought with the rest of the money.   23   the matter gave me more disappointment than the whistle gave me pleasure.
This, however, was afterwards of use to me, for the impression continued on my mind,    24   often, when I was tempted to buy something I did not need, I said to myself, “Don't give too much for the whistle.” and I   25   my money.   26   I grew up, came into the world, and observed the actions of men, I thought I met with many, very many, who “gave too much for the whistle”.
If I knew a miser who gave up every kind of comfortable living, all the   27   of doing good to others, all the esteem of his fellow citizens and the joys of friendship,   28   gathering and keeping wealth — “Poor man,” said I. “you pay too   29   for your whistle.” When I met a man of pleasure, who did not try to   30   his mind or his fortune but merely devoted himself to having a good time, perhaps   31   his health, “Mistaken man,” said I, “you are providing   32   for yourself, instead of pleasure; you are paying too dear for your whistle.” If I saw someone fond of    33   who had fine clothes, fine houses, fine furniture, fine earrings, all   34   his fortune, and for which he had run into debt, “Alas,” said I, “he has paid dear, very dear, for his whistle.” In short the miseries of mankind are largely due to their putting a   35   value on things to giving “too much for their whistles”.

 A
Is there something that you’ve always wanted to try but just never had the time? Well, make plans to try it now since you are on summer vacation. Not all vacations call for taking a tour bus to take photos of famous landmarks. Some vacations allow you plenty of opportunities to learn.
The most difficult aspect of a learning vacation may be choosing one because the possibilities are endless. If you enjoy cooking, various companies can take you to Italy, France, Spain, Mexico or even Peru. Once there, you can learn to prepare the local cuisine（烹饪）. Trips are often planned to fit in with local food festivals or special events.
The term “learning vacation” often brings language to mind. The best way to learn a language is in an environment where it’s spoken. Study Spanish, French or English. Or attempt a more unusual language like Polish, Estonian or Thai. You’ll be able to learn about the country and absorb the culture at the same time.
If you are fond of sports, you can polish your skills or learn new ones. Golf and tennis schools welcome players of all levels If you want a bigger thrill, you can learn to surf, go climbing or race cars. It’s even possible to learn the art and techniques of bull fighting while on vacation!
You can also discover our inner artist. Many places offer painting classes in different mediums. The scenic locations of the schools offer plenty of subjects that provide inspiration for practice.
If you prefer capturing the world on film, take a photography vacation. Travel with a small group to photograph beautiful animals or scenery. You can also practise your technique on people or at historical sights.
Once you decide on a vacation, choose a company carefully. Request names of recent customers you can contact, and then ask them for an evaluation. The more you know before you go, the better prepared you’ll be. Then go out and learn something!
36. The advantages of learning a language in its native country is that       .
     A. the environment is fit for you to use the language
     B. you are able to learn the original foreign language
     C. native speakers offer you a lot of chances to practise

38. Which of the following sports suit you if you don’t like thrills?
     A. Car racing.             B. Playing tennis.       C. Rock climb.          D. Surfing.
39. The purpose of writing the text is to       .
     A. advertise some popular summer programs

Is there a magic cutoff period when offspring become accountable for their own actions? Is there a wonderful moment when parents can become spectators in the lives of their children and shrug, "It' s their life," and feel nothing?
When I was in my twenties, I stood in a hospital corridor waiting for doctors to put a few stitches in my son' s head. I was asked, "When do you stop worrying?" A nurse said, "When they get out of the accident stage." My mother just smiled faintly and said nothing.
When I was in my thirties, I sat on a little chair in a classroom and heard how one of my children talked incessantly, disrupted the class, and was headed for a career making license plates. As if to read my mind, a teacher said, "Don't worry. They all go through this stage, and then you can sit back, relax, and enjoy them." My mother listened and said nothing.
When I was in my forties, I spent a lifetime waiting for the phone to ring and the cars to come home, the front door to open.
My friends said that when my kids got married I could stop worrying and lead my own life. I wanted to believe that, but I was haunted by my mother' s wan (淡淡旳) smile and her occasional words, "You look pale. Are you all right? Call me the minute you get home."
Can it be that parents are sentenced to a lifetime of worry? Is concern for one another handed down like a torch to blaze the trail of human frailties and the fears of the unknown? Is concern a curse? Or is it a virtue that elevates us to the highest form of life?
One of my children became quite irritable recently, saying to me, "Where were you? I' ve been calling for three days, and no one answered. I was worried! ! !"
I smiled a wan smile.

Computerized trading agents may help humans build better markets
Thanks to declining markets, investment banks are getting rid of many of their highly-paid traders. When markets recover, the banks might be tempted to replace them with rather cheaper talent. One alternative has been around for a while but has yet to catch on: autonomous trading agents-computers programmed to act like the human version without such annoying costs as holidays, lunch breaks or bonuses. Program trading has, of course, been done before; some blamed the 1987 stock market crash on computers instructed with simple decision-making rules. But robots can be smarter than that.
Dave Cliff, a researcher at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories in Bristol, England, has been creating trading robots for seven years. In computer simulations he lets them evolve "genetically", and so allows them to adapt and fit models of real-world financial markets. His experiments have suggested that a redesign of some markets could lead to greater efficiency. Last year, a research group at IBM showed that Mr. Cliff's artificial traders could consistently beat the human variety, in various kinds of market. Nearly all take the shape of an auction (拍卖). One well-known type is the English auction, familiar to customers of the salesrooms of Christie's and Sotheby's, where sellers keep mum on their offer price, and buyers increase their bids by stages until only one remains.
At the other extreme is the Dutch auction, familiar to 17th-century tulip-traders in the Netherlands as well as to bidders for American Treasury bonds. Here, buyers remain silent, and a seller reduces his price until it is accepted. Most markets for shares, commodities, foreign exchange and derivatives are a mixture of these two types: buyers and sellers can announce their bid or offer prices at any time, and deals are constantly being closed, a so-called "continuous double auction".
Mr. Cliff's novel idea was to apply his evolutionary computer programs to marketplaces themselves. Why not, he thought, try and see what types of auction would let traders converge (趋同) most quickly towards a balance price? The results were surprising. In his models, auctions that let buyers and sellers bid at any time like most of today's financial exchanges were less efficient than ones that required relatively mo
