18、ll,this is the 21st century and the idea ofchildren working is just unthinkable.This is,until you are told that they are all pupils of stage schools,and that the“work”they go off to is to go on the stage in a theatre.Stage schools often act as agencies to supply children for stage and television wor
19、k.More worthy ofthe name“stage school”are those few places where children attend full time,with a training for thetheatre and a general education.A visit to such schools will leave you in no doubt that the children enjoy themselves.After all,whatlively children wouldnt settle for spending only half
20、the day doing ordinary school work,and acting,singing or dancing their way through the other half of the day?Then of course there are times for the children to make a name and make a little money in some bigshows.Some stage schools give their children too much professional work at such a young age.B
21、ut thelaw is very tight on the amount they can do.Those under 13 are limited to 40 days in the year;those over13 to 80 days.The schools themselves admit that not all children will be successful in the profession for which theyare being trained.So what happens to those who dont make it?While all the
22、leading schools say theyplace great importance on children getting good study results,the facts seem to suggest this is not alwaysthe case.24.People would stop feeling uneasy when realizing that the children theyre talking to_.A.attend a stage schoolB.are going to the theatreC.have got some work to
23、doD.love singing and dancing25.In the writers opinion,a good stage school should_.A.produce star performersB.help pupils improve their study skillsC.train pupils in language and performing artsD.provide a general education and stage training26.“Professional work”as used in the text means_.A.ordinary

25、eels uncomfortable about children putting on night shows.D.He doubts the standard of ordinary education they have reached.CScience has a lot of uses.It can uncover laws of nature,cure diseases,make bombs,and help bridgesto stand up.Indeed science is so good at what it does that theres always a tempt
26、ation(诱惑)to drag itinto problems where it may not be helpful.David Brooks,author of The Social Animal:The HiddenSources of Love,Character,and Achievement,appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who havefailed to resist the temptation.Brooks gained fame for several books.His latest book Th
27、e Social Animal,however,is moreambitious and serious than his earlier books.It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics.Thebook focuses on big questions:What has science revealed about human nature?What are the sources ofcharacter?And why are some people happy and successful while others a
28、rent?To answer these questions,Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines（学科）.Considering this,youmight expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts.But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox(非 常 规 的),and perhaps unfortunate way.Instead of introducing scientific theories,he tells a story
29、,within which he tries to make his points,perhaps in order to keep the readers attention.So as Harold andErica,the hero and heroine in his story,live through childhood,we hear about the science of childdevelopment,and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction.Brooks carries
30、 thisthrough to the death of one of his characters.On the whole,Brookss story is acceptable if uninspired.As one would expect,his writing is mostlyclear and,to be fair,some chapters stand out above the rest.I enjoyed,for instance,the chapter in whichHarold discovers how to think on his own.While Har
31、old and Erica are certainly not strong or memorablecharacters,the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere.These problems partlyinvolve Brookss attempt to translate his tale into science.28.The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to_.A.illustrat
32、e where science can be appliedB.demonstrate the value of Brookss new bookC.remind the reader of the importance of scienceD.explain why many writers use science in their works29.According to the author,which of the following could be a strength of the book?A.Its strong basis.B.Its convincing points.C
33、.Its clear writing.D.Its memorable characters.30.What is the authors general attitude towards the book?A.Contradictory.B.Supportive.C.Cautious.D.Critical.31.What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph?A.Problems with the book.B.Brookss life experiences.C.Death of the characters
34、.D.Brookss translation skills.DSparrow is a fast-food chain with 200 restaurants.Some years ago,the group to which Sparrowbelonged was taken over by another company.Although Sparrow showed no sign of declining,the chainwas generally in an unhealthy state.With more and more fast-food concepts reachin
35、g the market,theSparrow menu had to struggle for attention.And to make matters worse,its new owner had no plans togive it the funds it required.Sparrow failed to grow for another two years.Until a new CEO,Carl Pearson,decided to build up itsmarket share.He did a survey,which showed that consumers wh

37、g Sparrow as Marcys restaurants.Pearson resisted,arguing for an advertising campaigndesigned to convince customers that visits to Sparrow restaurants were fun.Such an attempt to establish apositive relationship between a company and the general public was unusual for that time.Pearsonstrongly believ
38、ed that numbers were the key to success,rather than customers spending power.Finally,the owner accepted his idea.The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fast-food industry.The TV ads ofSparrow focused on entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety of
39、 stars.Instead ofshowing the superiority of a specific product,the intention was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potentialcustomers.Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image.For example,he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved
40、 a certain increase in theirturnover(营业额).These efforts paid off,and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fast-food chains in theregions where it operated.32.Which was one of the problems Sparrow faced before Pearson became CEO?A.The number of its customers was declining.B.Its customers fo
