"It hurts me more than you," and "This is for your own good." These are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework.
That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The school and the educators made it easy on us. They taught that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.
Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we’ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who says of her students "So passive" - and wonders what happened. Nothing was demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to children’s passivity. "We’re not training kids to work any more" says Klompus, "We’re talking about a generation of kids who’ve never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them. Instead of saying `go look it up’, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid."
Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It’s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It’s time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it’s for their own good. It’s time to start telling them no again.

they have to do too much homework

59.What can you conclude about the passage?
Parents should behave themselves well.
Children should do what they wish to.
Children should take part in more activities at school.
It’s time for parents to be more strict with their children. "New York City is not America." That’s what kind American friends are sure to tell you when you arrive. "You must see Boston, visit Niagara Falls, go to Virginia, fly down to Florida, and so on; but first, of course, you will want to see New York. It is not the capital city of the United States (that is Washington, D. C., where the President lives) or even the capital city of New York State (that is Albany), but many people call it `the greatest city on earth’".
The five parts, or boroughs, of New York City are Manhattan, Queens, Bronz, Richmond and Brooklyn. Although Manhattan is not all of New York, it is the heart of the city. It is an island, which is only about 13 miles long and 2 miles wide. From the air its shape looks like a long finger, and from the sea it’s just like the picture we all know. Those tall, straight buildings - the skyscrapers - packed so close together on that island of rock are sometimes seen in the distance through a veil of early morning mist. You have imagined it so often that now it’s difficult to believe this beautiful sight is real, and unless your heart is as hard as stone, excitement will make it beat a little faster. Perhaps "greatest", "tallest", "longest", "biggest", "brightest", are the words you will find most often in the city guide books.

A heat pump is a single electric system (系統(tǒng)，制度) that both heats and cools. In summer, a heat pump is a conventional (普通的，習(xí)慣的) air conditioner which removes heat from a building. In winter, the system reverses itself to use the natural heat that is always present in outdoor air. By taking advantage of the free heat, a heat pump is more economical (節(jié)約的) to operate in winter than a system using electric resistance (阻力，抵抗，電阻) heat. Electric resistance heat uses electricity as a raw (生的，天然的) material to create (創(chuàng)造，產(chǎn)生) heat where no heat existed before. Heat pump, on the other hand, uses electricity to move existing heat from where it already exists naturally (outdoors) to where it is wanted (indoors (在室內(nèi))).
Heat energy will naturally flow from areas of greater concentration to areas of lesser (較少的，次要的) concentration. That is what happens when hot food grows cool. The heat from the food flows into the air in the room until the food stabilizes at room temperature. Blowing air over substance (物質(zhì)，本質(zhì)，主要部分) will speed up the process (過程，工序，訴訟，加工), which is why a winter day will seem cold when there is a strong wind than when the air is still.
A heat pump uses this heat transfer (轉(zhuǎn)移，轉(zhuǎn)讓，改乘) process to move heat which is always in the air. The outdoor coil (線圈，卷) is made colder than the outdoors air. A fan blows outdoor air across the coil where heat is absorbed by the refrigerant (冷卻劑). The refrigerant is then compressed and moved to the indoor coil and the heat is distributed in the building.
During the summer, a heat pump reverses this process. The indoor coil is made cooler than the indoor air, and so room heat flows into the refrigerant which is compressed and moved to the outdoor coil. The outdoor coil, which is hotter than the outdoor air, will lose heat energy.
64.A heat pump is used .
to cook to heat to cool to heat and cool
65.A heat pump is used to make the room comfortable by using .
electric resistance heat
natural heat and cool
coal energy
petrol (汽油) energy

A heat pump is used both in summer and in winter.
A heat pump is only used in summer.
A heat pump is only used in winter.
A heat pump is only used at night.
67.How can we make the substance cool quickly?
Blow cold air over it.
Put is in the room.
Cover it with something.
Blow hot air over it. A library is a building for a collection (收集，收藏品) of books, magazines, periodicals and newspapers. The books are kept on the shelves in the stack (堆，干草垛) room whereas (鑒于，然而，但是，盡管) the magazines, journals, etc. in the reading room. Modern libraries also have Xerox (靜電復(fù)印) rooms and audio (音頻，聽覺)-visual rooms. If you want to borrow books, you can go to the loan (貸款，借出) desk, look over the correct numbers in the card catalog (目錄，編目錄) and ask the librarian to take them out for you. Or you’re allowed to enter the stack room to find the books for yourself. If the library doesn’t keep the magazine which carries the article you want, you can borrow the magazine from the other libraries by means of interlibrary loan service. Don’t forget to show your library card or I.D. card to the librarian before you go into the reading room, where you can read magazines or newspapers. If you find a good article and want to keep it, you can have it duplicated in the Xerox room. Besides, if you want to watch films or slides, you 0can ask the projectionist to play the videotape for you in the audio-visual room, where you can also listen to language tapes and music tapes.
