B
When their parents were children, they imagined a future standing in front of a class of pupils or doing the rounds (巡診) as a doctor.
But today’s British teenagers, a survey suggests, seem to have set their sights only on becoming the next Leona Lewis or Wayne Rooney.
Researchers questioned 3,000 teenagers about their ambitions and also asked parents about their youthful career hopes.
According to the survey, youngsters dream of a celebrity (明星) lifestyle, perhaps after finding fame through shows such as the X Factor, and of being actors or sports stars.
Copying the likes of Rooney and David Beckham was the top career ambition of today’s teenagers, cited (說到) by 12 percent.
Almost as many, 11 percent, wanted to be pop stars, and the same proportion (比例) dreamed of being actors.
The success of celebrity chefs such as Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay is likely to explain why becoming a chef is now the dream of 5 percent, a career ambition which did not figure in the list of 25 years ago.
A quarter of a century back teaching was the top career choice, cited by 15 percent. These days the job is chosen by only 4 percent.
Of the traditional professions (職業(yè)), only law has risen in popularity.
The survey also suggests that more girls dream of becoming doctors and boys want careers as astronauts (宇航員) or firefighters.
Child psychologist (心理學(xué)家) Laverne Antrobus said the findings reflect today's celebrity culture and warned children against unrealistic dreams.
“Children see footballers, pop stars and actors on TV and their lives look exciting, glamorous (光鮮的) and fun,” she said. “It is hard for them to realize that they are the end product of a lot of ingredients including talent, determination and years of hard work. Wayne Rooney is not on the pitch (球場(chǎng)) by chance.”
As Antrobus pointed out, there is absolutely nothing wrong with children having big dreams, but “these have to be based on reality,” she said.

Rescuers on Friday found the corpse of the last miner missing in the coal mine blast in northeast China, bringing the death toll to 108, the investigation authority said.
The body was recovered at about 4 p.m. Friday in the debris of a shaft at the Xinxing Coal Mine in Hegang City, Heilongjiang Province, said Zhang Jinguan, spokesman of the investigation team of the fatal accident.
The searching efforts had come to an end and workers were clearing up the mine shaft, said Zhang.
The blast ripped through the mine under the state-owned Heilongjiang Longmei Mining Holding Group's subsidiary in Hegang Saturday afternoon. A total of 528 miners were working underground when the blast happened, and 420 escaped from the scene.

D
For Sparky, school was all but impossible. He failed every subject in the eighth grade. He flunked physics in high school, getting a grade of zero. Sparky also flunked Latin, algebra and English. He didn't do much better in sports. Although he did manage to make the school's golf team, he promptly lost the only important match of the season. There was a consolation(安慰) match; he lost that, too.
Throughout his youth Sparky was awkward socially. He was not actually disliked by the other students; no one cared that much. He was astonished if a classmate ever said hello to him outside of school hours. There's no way to tell how he might have done at dating. Sparky never once asked a girl to go out in high school. He was too afraid of being turned down.
Sparky was a loser. He, his classmates...everyone knew it. So he rolled with it. Sparky had made up his mind early in life that if things were meant to work out, they would. Otherwise he would content himself with what appeared to be his inevitable mediocrity(平凡).
However, one thing was important to Sparky --- drawing. He was proud of his artwork. Of course, no one else appreciated it. In his senior year of high school, he submitted some cartoons to the editors of the Yearbook. Although the cartoons were turned down., Sparky was so convinced of his ability that he decided to become an artist.
After completing high school, he wrote a letter to Walt Disney Studios. He was told to send some samples of his artwork, and the subject for a cartoon was suggested. Sparky spent a great deal of time on it. Finally, the reply came from Disney Studios. He had been rejected once again. Another loss for the loser.
So Sparky decided to write his own autobiography(自傳) in cartoons. He described his childhood - a little boy loser and chronic underachiever. The cartoon character would soon become famous worldwide. For Sparky, the boy who had such a lack of success in school and whose work was rejected again and again, was Charles Schultz. He created the Peanuts comic strip(連環(huán)漫畫) and the little cartoon character whose kite would never fly and who never succeeded in kicking a football--Charlie Brown.
53.From the first paragraph we can see that Sparky was in high school.
A.a(chǎn) failure B.a(chǎn)n artist C.a(chǎn) good player D. a top student
54.Sparky never asked a classmate to go out with him because he was afraid of .
A.making mistakes B.making friends C.being refused D. being invited
55.In his senior year, Sparky felt confident that he had ability to .
A.play golf B.draw cartoon C.learn English D. write novels
56.His only success mentioned in this passage is .
A.his golf match in high school B.his artwork sent to the Yearbook
C.his subjects in the senior year D.his autobiography in cartoons
57.From the passage we can infer that Sparky is a person.

Besides calling 911, here is what to do in some life-threatening emergencies when no one is
|
First, you’ve got to acknowledge you’re in trouble. Stay where
you can be seen clearly and remember to rest. Keeping a sense
of humor helps too—it reduces stress and helps creative thinking.
In a wide open area, make a colorful cross out of rocks to show
your present position.
|
Aim to hit the top of the chair against your stomach, in the soft part
below the bony upside-down V of the ribs(肋骨). Make a sudden
push against the chair. If you still can’t breathe after six tries, call 911,
even if you can’t talk. Write the word choking somewhere nearby, and
leave the line open until help arrives.
|
Use your hand or clean cotton, or paper towels, or a scarf,
or any cloth you can find, and push down on the wound
until the bleeding stops. But if you put a band around
your leg tightly, you’re going to close the vessels(血管)
to the entire leg. In this way, you could lose your foot.
Bear attack |
If you surprise a bear, don’t run away. That invites an attack.
Instead, stand up and back away slowly, without looking the
bear in the eyes. If it does charge at you, stick out your chest,
raise your arms, and spread your legs. Shout at the bear, to
frighten it. If it’s going to attack, lie facedown, with your hands
held firmly behind your neck. Play dead until you’re sure the bear
is gone.
41.When you see a colorful cross made of rocks in the wilderness, you know .
A.someone is bleeding B.someone is choking
C.someone is lost D.someone is attacked by a bear
42.If you are still choking after six tries, you should .
