“I’ve changed my mind. I wanted to have a telescope, but now I want my daddy back.” Lucien Lawrence’s letter to Father Christmas written after his schoolteacher father had been knifed to death outside his school gate, must have touched every heart. Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldn’t see the stars in the sky. When those whom we love depart from us, we cannot see the stars for a while.

But Lucien, the stars are still there, and one day, when you are older and your tears have gone, you will see them again. And, in a strange way, I expect that you will find your father is there too, in your mind and in your heart. I find that my parents, long dead now, still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever did when they were alive. I still live to please them and I’m still surprised by their reactions. I remember that when I became a professor, I was so proud, or rather so pleased with myself, that I couldn’t wait to cable my parents. The reply was a long time in coming, but when it did, all Mother said was “I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children!” I haven’t forgotten. The values of my parents still live on.

It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care. Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors, and to lay down my life for those in my care? How many people would want me back for Christmas? It’s a serious thought, one to give me pause.

I pray silently, sometimes, in the dead of night, that ancient cry of a poet “Deliver my soul from the sword, and my darling from the power of the dog.” Yet I know the death comes to us all, and sometimes comes suddenly. We must therefore plan to live forever, but live as if we will die tomorrow. We live on, I’m sure, in the lives of those we loved, and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure. If more parents knew this in their hearts to be true, there might be fewer knives on our streets today.

The challenge to drink to the limits of one’s endurance has become a celebrated part of college life. In one of the most extensive reports on college drinking thus far, a 1997 Harvard School of Public Health study found that 43 percent of college students admitted binge drinking in the preceding two weeks (Defined as four drinks in a sitting for a woman and five of a man, a drinking binge is when one drinks enough to risk health and well being )

Experts estimate that excessive drinking is involved in thousands of student deaths a year. And the Harvard researchers found that there has been a dramatic change in why students drink. 39 percent drank “to get drunk” in 1993, but 52 percent had the same objective in 1997.

“What has changed is the across the board acceptability of intoxication (喝醉),” says Felix Savino at UW Madison. Many college students today see not just drinking but being drunk as their primary way of socializing.

The reasons for the shift are complex and not fully understood. But researchers guess that it may have something to do with today’s instant satisfaction life style―and young people tend to take into the extreme.

While binge drinking isn’t always deadly, it does have other, wide ranging effects. Academics is one area where it takes a heavy toll (something paid, lost or suffered). Perhaps because alcohol increases aggression and affects judgement, it is also related to 25 percent of violent crimes and roughly 60 percent of vandalism on campus. Facing the many potential dangers, college campuses are searching for ways to reduce binge drinking.

52．Why has “binge drinking” caused widespread concern?

       A．Because it is directly responsible for the academic problem on campus.

       B．Because it has claimed many young lives every year.

       C．Because it has had harmful effects on the students’ health and well being.

       D．Because it is in close connection with school violence.

53．We can infer from the passage that young people today            .

       A．cherish their dream and are willing to work hard for it.

       B．value spiritual satisfaction over physical satisfaction.

       C．a(chǎn)re idealistic and disillusioned by the dark reality.

       D．seek immediate satisfaction and indulge (放縱) themselves too much

54．The paragraphs following the passage most probably discuss          .

       A．efforts taken by different schools to fight against binge drinking

       B．the importance of banning alcohol at student events on campus

       C．how to change students’ behavior

       D．the possible consequences of binge drinking

55．Students regard drinking and binge drinking as          .

       A．tolerable              B．a(chǎn)cceptable           C．necessary            D．essential

Peter Fern was mad on mountains. Climbing was the love of his life. Church towers, seaside cliffs, rock faces, ice mountains, anything --- “If it’s there,” he used to say, “then I want to climb it.” so the news of his marriage gave me surprise. I’d never known him to take much interest in girls. Well, well, Peter Fern, a married man! I couldn’t get over it. I wondered whether his wife would try to stop some of his risky adventures.

 She was French perhaps --- from that place where he usually spent his holidays. Chamonix, wasn’t it? From Chamonix he’s climbed Mont. Blanc on his seventeenth birthday, and one of the Aifuilles the day after! That was it, then; she was French, from a family, most of whom liked climbing. No doubt --- No other explanation.

 A month later I met them both in town. Anna surprised me because she was English. She was a dancer in the theatre. “never climbed more than sixty steps in my life.” she told me. “Peter has his interests, and I’ve got mine. No problem.” “None at all, “ Peter said, smiling. “Where did you spend your honeymoon?” I asked. “Somewhere far from theater and mountains, was it?” “We had a week’s holiday,” Anna  said, “I flew to New York to see the drake Dancers on Broadway. a wonderful show!” Peter said, “Didn’t want to miss the good weather. So I went to Switzerland and climbed the north face of the Eiger with Allen Dunlop. Great fun, the Eiger. Grand place for a honeymoon! I’ll show you the photographs we took one day.”

Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes into touch with them.

Their values this can’t be repeated too often are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important for them. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with going bad food covered with dust on the table, and an old person lying alone on bed, taking no notice of anything. Is it doing harm to personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers are the ones who clean up the dust, thinking we are in danger of carrying this idea of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old.

Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car; it needs more care as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. Never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results. At what point should you stop treating the old body? Is it right to try to push off death by using drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to activate the old body, knowing that there is little hope? You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel sure to have a try on the belief that while there’s life, there’s hope.

When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun.

41. Some social workers think that ____________.

    A. one should not take risks of dealing with old people

    B. old people should have the idea of cleaning their rooms

    C. personal freedom is more important than health and safety

    D. health and safety are more important than personal freedom

42. The word “it” in the last paragraph refers to ___________.

    A. whether age is happy or unpleasant             B. the conclusion you have come to    

    C. one’s money or one’s health                       D. your talk to the old people

43. The author thinks that __________.

    A. the opinion that we should try every means possible to save old people is doubtful

    B. medical decisions for the old people should be left to the doctors

    C. old people can enjoy a happy life only if they are very rich

    D. it is always right to treat old people and push off death

I was just human. I __36__ my throat and finally said, “No, Sir. I didn’t always do my __37___.”

He looked at me for a long time, and then turned his chair around to ___38___ the interview. He asked one final question, which I have never been able to forget __39__ to answer. He said, “Why not?” I sat there for a while, __40__, and then slowly left the room.
