9、year-old, I didnt know how poor we were. My father would not be home that Christmas Eve. He was in the Army serving overseas. My mother and I worked all afternoon making tree decorations. The kitchen table was crowded with stars made of shiny paper. We were going to get the Christmas tree in the eve
10、ning, when the prices for them usually dropped.After sunset, we walked four blocks to a parking lot where they sold Christmas trees. “How much is your cheapest tree?” My mother asked the man standing at the entrance. He held his gloved hands over the fire. “Thirty dollars, miss.” Her smile disappear
11、ed, “Nothing for less?” The man picked up a small tree branch and dropped it into the fire. “I just work here. I cant change the price.” The sudden melancholy（忧郁）in my mothers face made me sad. The man looked down at me for what felt like a long time; it probably was only moments. He pointed at a pi
12、le of branches in the corner. “Behind it is a tree that we cant sell. You can have it for free.” “Thank you, sir,” I said.There it was, a thing just a little taller than me. It had few branchesalmost a ghost（幽灵）of a tree. My mother asked, “Can we take some of these branches?” He waved his arm. “Take
13、 it all if you want to, miss.”We headed back home. We set the tree in the living room. I couldnt imagine how we could hang many decorations on such a tree. She was smiling again, “Go to sleep now, son. Santa will decorate the tree for us.”I woke at dawn and rushed into the living room. To my amazeme
14、nt, the tree had a beautiful natural shape. The decorations shone in the morning light. My mother had somehow fixed branches to the tree trunk. A few weeks later, my father returned. When I told him about the tree, tears filled the eyes of that strong soldier. Since then, I have seen many wonderful

17、e been big changes in the attitudes of most parents over the last few years. Physical punishment is banned(被禁止) in schools in most countries, and in many countries, there are moves to ban all physical punishment of children even at home. However, many parents still believe that they have the right t
18、o use some physical punishments to deal with certain misbehavior at certain ages.Its easy to find reasons to allow some physical punishments. One issue is that many parents find it very difficult to give up physical punishment completely. Parents argue that this was the way they were brought up and
19、that it didnt do any harm to them. They believe that for the childs sake they have the right to discipline (惩罚) the child in any way they consider fit, including using some physical punishments. The other one is that physical punishment can be quick and effective. There is not much point reasoning w
20、ith a screaming child in the supermarket.However, there are several reasons why we should stop using physical punishment. One point is that most parents are not trained to deal with misbehaving children. They dont have enough resources or choices to handle the situation. As a result, they immediatel
21、y react by hitting the child even if there are other solutions to the problem. Another point is that unless people are challenged or forced to change their belief, they may keep following negative habits. An example is seat belt use now most people wear seat belts without thinking, while years ago t
22、he idea of using seat belts was strange to most people. In the same way, banning physical punishment will force people to change their habits.In conclusion, parents have to change some of their belief and ideas about how children should be raised. It is possible to avoid the use of physical force, a
23、nd doing so will help us move closer to the dream of removing violence from our society.8. According to the first paragraph, many parents think that _.A. most of the children behave badly in their daily lifeB. they have changed their attitudes towards their childrenC. physical punishment is effectiv
24、e to educate their childrenD. they are free to use physical punishment on their children9.

25、hat to do with their children10. The author gives the example of using seat belts in order to show _.A. most people are used to wearing seat beltsB. people wont change their old habits unless forcedC. seat belts are really very necessary and usefulD. its not difficult to change some negative habits1
26、1. The main purpose of the author in writing this passage is to _.A. talk about a ban on using physical punishmentB. tell us we should educate our children in other waysC. advise parents to give up using physical punishmentD. suggest physical punishment should be used at homeDJapans youth are losing
27、 interest in science and as a result, threatening the nations industrial progress. According to Japan Science and Technology Agency, young Japanese are surrounded by high-tech devices(设备), but are not interested in how they work.Japanese businesses have succeeded partly because theyve a great many e
28、ngineers. A drop in interest could lead to a decline(减少) in their numbers and quality. In the past, the young had a big interest in science and technology, said Hirano, director of the agencys policy department.There are two main reasons for the problem. The first is known as black box syndrome of m
29、odern technology.Electronic devices depend on tiny silicon chips（芯片）, which can only be made in big factories, whose workings cant be seen by the eyes. The devices, unlike machines of the past driven by gears and wheels, are simply boxes.Young Japanese, brought up on video games and at home with com
30、puters, enjoy using modern technology, but this is a passive interest and different from the interest in how things work. You need an active interest to get interested in science. This is declining in the young, said Hirano.About two-thirds of Japanese in their 20s use PCs, twice the number of those
31、 in their 50s. But only 40% of those in their 20s say they are interested in news about science and technology, compared to 60% of the 50 to 60 year olds.Another reason for it is that life in modern Japan is too comfortable, he said. A wealthy society reduces peoples desire to modernize and develop
32、their country. To a degree, you cant avoid this when the fruits of science and technology are fully developed. Similarly, science in Europe and the US has also suffered a lack of interest.12. Japanese youths interest in science is dropping probably because_.A. scientists dont make much money in Japa
33、nB. there are too many scientists in Japan alreadyC. theyre not interested in how high-tech devices workD. science is more difficult for young people to learn13. The underlined word their (in Para. 2) refers to_.A. Japanese engineersB. Japanese businessesC. Japans young peoplesD. high-tech devices14

People are satisfied with the comfortable life high-tech devices bring to them.C. People think high-tech devices destroy the environment.D. People dont want to l
