17、le.（C） A delicate Balance.（D）The Light in the Piazza. 20 Manners nowadays in metropolitan cities like London are practically non-existent. It is nothing for a big, strong schoolboy to elbow an elderly woman aside in the dash for the last remaining seat on the tube or bus, much less stand up and offe

18、r his seat to her, as he ought to. In fact, it is saddening to note that if a man does offer his seat to an older woman, it is nearly a Continental man or one from the older generation.This question of giving up seats in public transport is much argued about by young men, who say that, since women h

19、ave claimed equality, they no longer deserve to be treated with courtesy and that those who go out m work should take their turn in the rat race like anyone else. Women have never claimed to be physically as strong as men. Even if it is not agreed, however, that young men should stand up for younger

20、 women, the fact remains that courtesy should be shown to the old, the sick and the burdened. Are we really so lost to all ideals of unselfishness that we can sit them indifferently reading the paper or a book, saying to ourselves “First come, first served,“ while a gray-haired woman, a mother with

21、a young child or a cripple stands? Yet this is all too often seen.Conditions in travel are realty very hard on everyone, we know, but hardship is surely no excuse. Sometimes one wonders what would have been the behavior of these stout young men in a packed refugee train on its way to a prisoncamp du

22、ring the War. Would they have considered it only right and their proper due to keep the best places for themselves then?Older people, tired and irritable from a day s work, are not angle, either far from it. Many a brisk argument or an insulting quarrel breaks out as the weary queues push and shove

23、each other to get on buses and tubes. One cannot commend this, of course, but one does feel there is just a little more excuse.If cities are to remain pleasant places to live in, however, it seems imperative, not only that communications in transport should be improved, but also that communication b

24、etween human beings should be kept smooth and polite. All over cities, it seems that people are too fired and too rushed to be polite. Shop assistant won t bother to assist, taxi-drivers growl at each other as they dash dangerously round comers, bus conductors pull the bell before their desperate pa

25、ssengers have had time to get on or off the bus, and so on and so on. It seems to us that it is up to the young and strong to do their small part to stop such deterioration.21 From what you have read, would you expect manners to improve among people _?（A）who are physically weak or crippled（B） who on

26、ce lived in a prison-camp during the War（C） who live in big modem cities（D）who live only in metropolitan cities 22 What is the writer s opinion concerning courteous manners towards women?（A）Now that women have claimed equality, they no longer need to be treated differently from men.（B） It is general

27、ly considered old-fashioned for young men to give up their seats to young women.（C） Ladies first should be universally practiced.（D）Special consideration ought to be shown to them. 23 What does the author try to convey by giving the example of stout young men in a packed refugee train during the War

30、paragraph?（A）worsening of general situation（B） lowering of moral standards（C） declining of physical constitution（D）spreading of evil conduct 25 It was eleven o clock that night when Mr. Pontellier returned from Klein s hotel. He was in an excellent humor, in high spirits, and very talkative. His ent

31、rance awoke his wife, who was in bed and fast asleep when he came in, He talked to her while he undressed, telling her anecdotes and bits of news and gossip that he had gathered during the day. From his trousers pockets he took a fistful of crumpled bank notes and a good deal of silver coin, which h

32、e piled on the bureau indiscriminately with keys, knife, handkerchief, and whatever else happened to be in his pockets, she was overcome with sleep, and answered him with little half utterances.He thought it very discouraging that his wife, who was the sole object of his existence, evinced so little

33、 interest in things which concerned him, and valued so little his conversation.Mr. Pontellier had forgotten the bonbons and peanuts for the boys. Notwithstanding he loved them very much, and went into the adjoining room where they were resting comfortably. The result of his investigation was far fro

34、m satisfactory. He turned and shifted the youngsters about in bed. One of them began to kick and talk about a basket full of crabs.Mr. Pontellier returned to his wife with the information that Raoul had a high fever and needed looking after. Then he lit a cigar and went and sat near the open door to

35、 smoke it.Mrs. Pontellier was quite sure Raoul had no fever. He had gone to bed perfectly well, she said, and nothing had ailed him all day. Mr. Pontellier was too will acquainted with fever symptoms to be mistaken. He assured her the child was consuming at that moment in the next room.He reproached

36、 his wife with her inattention, her habitual neglect of the children. If it was not a mother s place to look after children, whose on earth was it? He himself had his hands full with his brokerage business. He could not be in two places at once; making a living for his family on the street, and stay

37、ing at home to see that no harm befell them. He talked in a monotonous, insistent way.Mrs. Pontellier sprang out of bed and went into the next room. She soon came back and sat on the edge of the bed, leaning her head down on the pillow. She said nothing, and refused to answer her husband when he que

38、stioned her. When his cigar was smoked out he went to bed, and in half a minute he was fast asleep.Mrs. Pontellier was by that time thoroughly awake. She began to cry a little, and wiped her eyes on the sleeve of her peignoir; Blowing out the candle, which her husband had left burning, she slipped h

39、er bare feet into a pair of satin mules at the foot, of the bed and went out on the porch, where she sat clown in the wicker chair and began to rock gently to and fro.It was then past midnight. The cottages were all dark. A single faint light gleamed out from the hallway of the house. There was no s

40、ound abroad except the hoofing of an old owl in the top of a water-oak, and the everlasting voice of the sea, that was not uplifted at that soft hour It broke like a mournful lullaby upon the night.The tears came so fast to Mrs. Pontelliers eyes that the damp sleeve of her peignoir no longer served

41、to dry them. She was holding the back of her chair with one hand; her loose sleeve had slipped almost to tile shoulder of her uplifted arm. Turning, she thrust her face, steaming and wet, into the bend of her arm, and she went on erying there, not earing any longer to dry her face, her eyes, her arm

42、s. She could not have told why she was crying. Such experiences as the foregoing were not uncommon in her married life. They seemed never before to have to have weighed much against the abundance of her husband s kindness and a uniform devotion which had come to be tacit and self-understood.An indes

43、cribable oppression, which seemed to generate ill some unfamiliar part of her consciousness, filled, her whole being with a vague anguish. It was like a shadow, like a mist passing across her soul s summer day. It was strange and unfamiliar; it was a mood, She did not sit there inwardly upbraiding h

44、er husband, lamenting at Fate, which had directed her footsteps to the path which they had taken. She was just having a good cry all to herself. The mosquitoes made merry over her, biting her firm, round arms and nipping at her bare insteps.The little stinging, buzzing imps succeeded in dispelling a

45、 mood which might have held her there in the darkness half a night longer.26 Mr. Pontellier came back in a/an_state of mind.（A）excited（B） exasperated（C） depressed（D）dejected 27 Mr. Pontellier felt extremely frustrated because _.（A）his wife overslept（B） his wife greeted late（C） his wife was indiffere

Given

48、anything that resembles a well-rounded life with adults and other children to listen to, talk to, do things with their minds will acquire naturally all the skills required for further learning.Take for example, reading. The two strongest predictors of whether children will learn to read easily and w

49、ell at school am whether they have learned the names and the sounds of letters of the alphabet before they start school, That may seem to imply that letter names and sounds should be deliberately taught to young children, because these skills will not happen naturally.But in all the research programs where they have done just thatinstructed children, rehearsed the names and sounds over and over the results are di
