28、 a period of revolt against the moral values that had been the strength and pride of the past generations. They did not want to be hard working and thrifty as their【 C1】 _ had been.

38、IV GRAMMAR general hospitals in the country and holiday areas are worst off. From this survey, one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have some contact with a hospital teacher - and that contact may be as little as two hours a day. Most children interviewed were surprised to find a te

39、acher in hospital at all. They had not been prepared for it by parents or their own school, ff there was a teacher they were much more likely to read books and do math or number work; without a teacher they would only play games. Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling be

40、 hind and maintaining the habit of school to keeping a child occupied, and the latter is often all the teacher can do. The position and influence of many teachers was summed up when parents referred to them as “the library lady“ or just “the helper“. Children tend to rely on concerned school friends

41、 to keep in touch with school work. Several parents spoke of requests for work being ignored or re fused by the school. Once back at school, children rarely get extra teaching, and are told to catch up as best they can. Many short-stay child-patients catch up quickly. But schools do very little to e

42、ase the anxiety about falling behind expressed by many of the children interviewed. 85 The author points out at the beginning that _. （ A） every child in hospital receives some teaching （ B） not enough is known about hospital teaching （ C） hospital teaching is of poor quality （ D） the special childr

43、ens hospitals are worst off 86 It can be inferred from the latest survey that _. （ A） hospital teaching across the country is similar （ B） each hospital has at least one part-time teacher （ C） all hospitals surveyed offer education to children （ D） one-fourth of the hospitals have part-time teachers

44、 87 Children in hospital usually turn to _ in order to catch up with their school work. （ A） hospital teachers （ B） schoolmates （ C） parents （ D） school-teachers 88 We can conclude from the passage that the author is _. （ A） unfavorable towards children receiving education in hospitals （ B） in favor

45、 of the present state of teaching in hospitals （ C） unsatisfied with the present state of hospital teaching （ D） satisfied with the results of the latest survey 88 How we look and how we appear to others probably worries us more when we are in our teens or early twenties than at any other time in ou

46、r life. Few of us are content to accept ourselves as we are, and few are brave enough to ignore the trends of fashion. Most fashion magazines or TV advertisements try to persuade us that we should dress in a certain way or behave in a certain manner. If we do, they tell us, we will be able to meet n

47、ew people with confidence and deal with every situation confidently and without embarrassment. Changing fashion, of course, does not apply just to dress. A barber today does not cut a boys hair in the same way as he used to, and girls do not make up in the same way as their mothers and grandmothers

48、did. The advertisers show us the latest fashionable styles and we are constantly under pressure to follow the fashion in case our friends think we are odd or dull. What causes fashions to change? Sometimes convenience or practical necessity or just the fancy of an influential person can establish a

49、fashion. Take hats, for example. In cold climates, early building were cold inside, so people wore hats indoors as well as outside. In recent times, the late President Kennedy caused a depression in the American hat industry by not wearing hats: more American men followed his example. There is also a cyclical pattern in fashion.
