根据短文回答 41~45 题。 More Than a Ride to School The National Education Association

根据短文回答 41~45 题。

More Than a Ride to School

The National Education Association claims, "The school bus is a mirror of the community," They further add that, unfortunately, what appears on the exterior (外部)does not always reflect the reality of a chosen community. They are right, and sometimes it reflects more! Just ask Liesl Denson. Riding the school bus has been more than a ride to school for Liesl.

Bruce Hardy, school bus driver for Althouse Bus Company has been Liesl's bus river since kindergarten. Last year when Liesl's family moved to Parkesburg, knowing her bus went by her new residence, she requested to ride the same bus.

This year Liesl is a senior and will enjoy her last year riding the bus. She says, "It's been a great ride so far! My bus driver is so coo and has always been a good friend and a good listener. Sometimes when you're a child adults do not think that what you have to say is important. Mr. Hardy always listens to what you have to say and makes you feel important." Her friends Ashley Batista and Amanda Wolfe agree.

Bruce Hardy has been making Octorara students feel special since 1975. This year he will celebrate 30 years working for Althouse Bus Transportation. Company President, Larry Althouse acknowledges Bruce Hardy's outstanding record. "You do not come by employees like Bruce these days; he has never missed a day of work and has a perfect driving record. Recognized in 2000 by the Pennsylvania School Bus Association for driving 350,000 accident free miles, Hardy's reputation is made further evident through the relationships he has made with the students that ride his bus."

Althouse further added, "Althouse Bus Transportation was established 70 years ago and has been providing quality transportation ever since. My grandfather started the business with one bus. Althouse Bus Transportation is delighted to have the opportunity to bring distinctive and safe service to our local school and community and looks forward to continuing to provide quality service for many more years to come."

Three generations of business is not all the company has enjoyed. Thanks to drivers like Bruce Hardy, they have been building relationships through generations. Liesl's mother Carol also enjoys fond memories of riding Bruce Hardy's bus to the Octorara School District.

A."vehicle"

B."device"

C."company"

D."reflection"

根据短文回答 41~45 题。 Eat More, weigh Less, Live LongerClever genetic detective work m

根据短文回答 41~45 题。

Eat More, weigh Less, Live Longer

Clever genetic detective work may have found out the reason why a near-starvation diet prolongs the life of many animals.

"It's very cool work,"says aging researcher Cynthia Kenyon of the University of California,San Francisc0."These mice eat all they want.10se weight and live longer.It's Like heaven."

Calorie restriction dramatically extends the lifespan of organisms as different as worms and rodents.Whether this works in humans is still unknown,partly because few people are willing to submit to such a strict diet

But many researchers hope they will be able to trigger the same effect with a drug once they understand how less food leads to a longer life.One theory is that eating less reduces the increase of harmful things that can damage cells.But Kahn's team wondered whether the animals simply benefit by becoming thin。

To find out,they used biology tricks to disrupt the insulin(胰岛素)receptor(受体)gene in lab mice—but only in their fat cells."Since insulin is needed to help fat cells store fat,these animals were protected against becoming fat,"explains Kahn.

This slight genetic change in a single tissue had dramatic effects.By three months of age,Kahn's modified mice had up t0 70 per cent less body fat than normal control mice,despite the fact that they ate 55 per cent more food per gram of body weight.

In addition,their lifespan increased.The average control mouse lived 753 days,while the thin rodents averaged a lifespan of 887 days.After three years,all the control mice had died,but one—quarter of the modified rodents were still alive.

"That they get these effects by just manipulating the fat cells is controversial,"says Leonard Guarente of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who studies calorie restriction and agin9.

But Guarente says Kahn has yet to prove that the same effect is responsible for increased lifespan in calorie-restricted anima.1s."It might be the same effect or there might be two routes to long life,"he points out,"and that would be very interesting."

第 41 题 Ronald Kahn and his colleagues can make mice live longer by().

A.offering them less food.

B.giving them a balanced diet.

C.disrupting the specific genes in their fat cells.

D.preventing them growing larger.

根据短文回答 41~45 题。 Valuing Childhood The value of childhood is easily blurred (

根据短文回答 41~45 题。

Valuing Childhood

The value of childhood is easily blurred (变得模糊不清) in today's world. Consider some recent developments: The child-murderers in the Jonesboro, Ark. Schoolyard shooting case were convicted and sentenced. Two boys, 7 and 8, were charged in the murder of an 11-year-old girl in Chicago.

Children who commit horrible crimes appear to act of their own will. Yet, as legal proceedings in Jonesboro showed, the one boy who was able to address the court couldn't begin to explain his acts, though he tried to apologize. There may have been a motive w youthful jealousy (妒忌) and resentment. But a deeper question remains: Why did these boys and others in similar trouble apparently lack any inner, moral restraint?

That question echoes for the accused in Chicago, young as they are. They wanted the girl's bicycle, a selfish impulse common enough among kids.

Redemption (拯救) s a practical necessity. How can value be restored to young lives ! dist0rted (扭曲) by acts of violence? The boys in Jonesboro and in Chicago will be confined in institutions for a relatively short time. Despite horror at what was done,

children are not cannot be dealt with as adults, not if a people wants to consider itself civilized. That's why politicians' cries for adult treatment of youthful criminals ultimately miss the point.

But the moral void (真空) that invites violence has many sources. Family instability (不稳定) contributes. So does economic stress. That void, however, can be filled. The增长work starts with parents, who have to ask themselves whether they're doing enough to give their children a firm sense of right and wrong. Are they really monitoring their activities and their developing processes of thought?

Schools, too, have a role in building character. So do youth organizations. So do law enforcement agencies, which can do more to inform. the young about laws, their meaning, and their observance (遵守).

The goal, ultimately, is to allow all children a normal passage from childhood to adulthood (成年), so that tragic gaps in moral judgment are less likely to occur. The relative few who fill such gaps with acts of violence hint at many others who don't go that far, but who lack the moral foundations childhood should provide -- and which progressive human society relies on.

第 41 题 The two boys in Chicago were()

A.shot

B.murdered

C.accused.

D.sentenced.

根据短文回答 41~45 题。 Is the Tie a Necessity? Ties ,0r neckties,have been a symbol

根据短文回答 41~45 题。

Is the Tie a Necessity?

Ties ,0r neckties,have been a symbol of politeness and elegance in Britain for centuries.But the casual Prime Minister Tony Blair has problems with them.Reports suggest that even the civil servants may stop wearing ties.S0,are the famously formal British really going to abandon the neckties?

Maybe.Last week。The UK'S Cabinet Secretary Andrew Turnbull openly welcomed a tieless era.He hinted that civil servants would soon be free of the costliest 12 inches of fabric that most men ever buy in their lives.

In fact,Blair showed this attitude when he had his first guests to a cocktail party.Many of them were celebrities(知名人士)without ties,which would have been unimaginable even in the recent past.

For some more conservative British.the tie is a must for proper appearance.Earlier, Labor leader Jim Callaghan said he would have died rather than have his children seen in public without a tie.For people like Callaghan,the tie was a sign of being complete,of showing respect.Men were supposed to wear a tie when going to church,to work in the office to a party—almost every social occasion.

But today, people have begun to accept a casual style. even for formal occasions.

The origin of the tie is tricky.It started as something called simply a" band".The term could mean anything around a man's neck.It appeared in finer ways in the 1630s.Frenchmen showed a love of this particular fashion statement.Their neckwear(颈饰)impressed Charles III the king of England who was exiled(流放)to France at that time.When he returned to England in 1660,he brought this new fashion item along with him.

It wasn't, however。until the late 18th century that fancy young men introduced a more colorful,flowing piece of cloth that eventually became known as the tie.Then,clubs。military institutions and schools began to use colored and patterned ties to indicate the wearer's membership in the late l 9th century.After that,the tie became a necessary item of clothing for British gentlemen.

But now,even gentlemen are getting tired of ties.Anyway, the day feels a bit easier when you wake up without having to decide which tie suits you and your mood.

第 41 题 The tie symbolizes all of the following except()

A.respect.

B.elegance.

C.politeness.

D.democracy.
