　　Surfing(浏览)the Internet can be as addictive(上瘾的)as drugs，alcohol or gambling，a researcher from University of Pittsburgh said last month.

　　Many parents complain that their teenage children are rebelling(叛逆).I wish it were it were so.At this age you ought to be growing away from your parents.You should be learning to stand on your own feet.

　　But take a good look at the present rebellion.It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents.They say they want to dress as they please，but all of them wear the same clothes.They set off in new directions in music，but all of them end up listening to the same record.Their reason for thinking or acting is that the others are doing it that way.

　　Passage3

　　A moment’s drilling by the dentist may make us nervous and upset.Many of us cannot stand pain.To avoid the pain of a drilling that may last perhaps a minute or two，we demand the needle that deadens the nerves around the tooth.

　　Now it’s true that the human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside it.This helps us adjust to the world.Without our nerves and our brain，we wouldn’t know what’s happening.But we pay for our sensitive.We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body.The history of torture(酷刑)is based on the human body being open to pain.

　　But there is a way to handle pain.Some Indian monks can sit on a bed of mails.Fakirs(托钵僧)can put a needle right through an arm，and feel no pain.This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should given us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain.

　　The big thing in standing pain is our attitude toward it.If the dentist says this will hurt a little，it helps us to accept the pain.By staying relaxed，and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation(感觉)，we can handle the pain calmly.After all。Although pain is an unpleasant sensation，it is still a sensation，and sensation are the stuff of life.

　　C.The dentists can do nothing to the pain.

　　D.Everyone should try his best to avoid pain.

　　50.The most important thing to handle pain is how to .

　　Passage 4

　　There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling.No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill.There are，however，vastly different ideas about how to teach it，or how much priority(优先)it must be given over general language development and writing ability.The problem is how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities(复杂性)of spelling.

　　If spelling becomes the only focus of his teacher’s internet，clearly a bright child will be likely to play safe.He will tend to write only words within his spelling range，choosing to avoid adventurous language.That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.

　　I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a piece of writing about a personal experience：“This work is terrible!”There are far too many spelling errors in the writing，but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had feelings.“The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors，but if his priorities had centered the pupil to improve his writing.”

　　A.parents support how the schools teach spelling.

　　B.parents don’t know how the school teach spelling

　　C.people agree on the importance of spelling in writing

　　D.people agree on how to teach spelling in writing

　　53.In the second paragraph，the expression“play safe”most probably means“ ”.

　　A.pay more attention to the ideas

　　B.write freely and smoothly

　　C.avoid words he is not sure of

　　D.use dictionaries very early

　　54.Which of the following is true according to the last paragraph?

　　A.The writing did not truly reflect the feelings.

　　B.The teacher liked the writing very much.

　　C.The teacher’s priority was on the child’s ideas.

　　D.The author disagreed to the teacher’s comments.

　　55.This passage mainly discusses .
