Passage1
    The man who invented Coca-cola was not a native Atlantan, but on the day of his funeral every drugstore in town testimonially shut up shop. He was John Styth Pemberton, born in 1833 in Knoxville, Georgia, eighty miles away. Sometimes known as Doctor, Pemberton was a pharmacist who, during the Civil War, led a cavalry troop under General Joe Wheelrer. He settled in Atlanta in 1869, and soon began brewing such patent medicines as Triplex Liver Pills and Globe of Flower Cough Syrup. In 1885, he registered a trademark for something called French Wine Coca-Ideal Nerve and Tonic Stimulant, a few months later he formed the Pemberton Chemical Company, and recruited the services of a bookkeeper named Frank M. Robinson, who not only had a good head for figures but, attached to it, so exceptional a nose that he could audit the composition of a batch of syrup merely by sniffling it. In 1886-a year in which, as contemporary Coca-Coca officials like to point our, Conan Doyle unveiled Sherlock Holmes and France unveiled the Statue of Liberty-Pemberton unveiled a syrup that he called Coca-Coca. It was a modification of his French Wine Coca. He had taken our the wine and added a pinch of caffeine, and, when the end product tasted awful, had thrown in some extract of cola nut and a few other oils, blending the mixture in a three-legged iron pot in his back yard and swishing it around with an oar. He distributed it to soda fountains in used beer bottles, and Robinson, with his glowing bookkeeper’s script, presently devised a label, on which “Coca-Cola” was written in the fashion that is still employed. Pemberton looked upon his mixture less as a refreshment than as a headache cure, especially for people whose headache could be traced to over-indulgence.
    On a morning late in 1886,one such victim of the night before dragged himself into an Atlanta drugstore and asked for a doolop of Cola-Cola. Druggists customarily stirred a teaspoonful of syrup into a glass of water, but in this instance the man on duty was too lazy to walk to the fresh-water tap, a couple of feet off. Instead, he mixed the syrup with some soda water, which was closer at hand. The suffering customer perked up almost at once, and word quickly spread that the best Coca-Cola was a fizzy one.

Passage 2
    Between 1833 and 1837, the publishers of a “penny press” proved that a low-priced paper, edited to interest ordinary people, could win what amounted to a mass circulation for the times and thereby attract an advertising volume that would make it independent. These were papers for the common citizen and were not tied to the interests of the business community, like the mercantile press, or dependent for financial support upon political party allegiance. It did not necessarily follow that all the penny papers would be superior in their handing of the news and opinion functions. But the door was open for some to make important journalistic advances.
    The first offerings of a penny paper tended to be highly sensational; human interest stories overshadowed important news, and crime and sex stories were written in full detail. But as the penny paper attracted readers from various social and economic brackets, its sensationalism was modified. The ordinary reader came to want a better product, too. A popularized style of  writing and presentation of news remained, but the penny paper became a respectable publication that offered significant information and editorial leadership. Once the first of the successful penny papers had shown the way, later ventures could enter the competition at the higher level of journalistic responsibility the pioneering papers had reached.
    This was the pattern of American newspapers in the years following the founding of the New York Sun in 1833. The sun, published by Benjamin Day, entered the lists against 11 other dailies. It was tiny in comparison; but it was bright and readable, and it preferred human interest features to important but dull political speech reports. It had a police reporter writing squibs of crime news in the style already proved successful by some other papers. And, most important, it sold for a penny, whereas its competitors sold for six cents. By 1837 the sun was printing 30,000 copies a day, which was more than the total of all 11 New York daily newspapers combined when the sun first appeared. In those same four years James Gordon Bennett brought out his New York Herald (1835), and a trio of New York printers who were imitating Day’s success founded the Philadelphia Public ledger (1836) and the Baltimore sun (1837).The four penny sheets all became famed newspapers.

67. What does the first paragraph say about the “penny press?”
A. It was known for its in-depth news reporting
B. It had an involvement with some political parties.
C. It depended on the business community for survival.
D. It aimed at pleasing the general public.
68. In its early days, a penny paper often ___________--
A. paid much attention to political issues
B. provided stories that hit the public taste
C. offered penetrating editorials on various issues
D. covered important news with inaccuracy
69. As the readership was growing more diverse, the penny paper____________
A. improved its content
B. changed its writing style
C. developed a more sensational style
D. became a tool for political parries
70. The underlined word “ventures” in Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by ___________
A. editors
B. reporters
C. newspapers
D. companies
71. What is true about the Philadelphia Public Ledger and the Baltimore sun.?
A. They turned out to be failures.
B. They were later purchased by James Gordon Bennett.
C. They were also founded by Benjamin Day.
D. They became well-known newspapers in the U.S.
72. This passage is probably taken from a book on ___________
A. the work ethics of the American media
B. the techniques in news reporting
C. the history of sensationalism in American media
D. the impact of mass media on American society
Passage 3
    Forget what Virginia Woolf said about what a writer needs—a room of one’s own. The writer she had in mind wasn’t at work on a novel in cyberspace, one with multiple hypertexts, animated graphics and downloads of trancey, chiming music. For that you also need graphic interfaces, RealPlayer and maybe even a computer laboratory at Brown University. That was where Mark Amerika—his legally adopted name; don’t ask him about his birth name—composed much of his novel Grammatron. But Grammatron isn’t just a story. It’s an online narrative (Grammatron.com) that uses the capabilities of cyberspace to tie the conventional story line into complicate knots. In the four year it took to produce—it was completed in 1997—each new advance in computer software became anther potential story device. “I became sort of dependent on the industry,” jokes Amerika, who is also the author of two novels printed on paper. “That’s unusual for a writer, because if you just write on paper the ‘technology’ is pretty stable.”
    Nothing about Grammatron is stable. At its center, if there is one, is Abe Golam, the inventor of Nanoscript, a quasi—mystical computer code that some unmystical corporations are itching to acquire. For much of the story, Abe wanders through Prague-23, a virtual “city” in cyberspace whare visitors indulge in fantasy encounters and virtual sex, which can get fairly graphic, The reader wanders too, because most of Grammatron’s 1,000-puls text screens contain several passages in hypertext. To reach the next screen, just double-click. But each of those hypertexts is a trapdoor that can plunge you down a different pathway of the story. Choose one and you drop into a corporate-strategy memo. Choose another and there’s a XXX-rated sexual rant. The story you read is in some sense the story you make.
     Amerika teaches digital art at the University of Colorado, where his students develop works that straddle the lines between art, film and literature. “I tell them not to get caught up in mere plot,” he says. Some avant-garde writers—Julio Cortazar, Italo Calvino—have also experimented with novels that wander out of their author’s control. “But what makes the Net so exciting, “says Amerika, “is that you can add sound, randomly generated links, 3-D modeling, animaion.” That room of one’s own is turning into a fun house.
73. The passage is mainly to tell __________________.
A. differences between conventional and modern novels
B. how Mark Amerika composed his novel Grammatron
C. common features of all modern electronic novels
D. why Mark Amerika took on a new way of writing
74. Why does the author ask the reader to forget what Virginia Woolf said about the necessities of a writer?
A. Modern writers can share rooms to do the writing.
B. It is not necessarily that a writer writes inside a room.
C. Modern writers will get nowhere without a word processor
D.It is no longer sufficient for the writing in cyberspace.
75.As an on-line narrative, Grammatron is anything but stable because it ______________.
A. provides potentials for the story development
B. is one of the novels at <grammatron.com>
C. can be downloaded free of charge
D. boasts of the best among cyber stories
76.By saying that he became sort of dependent on the industry, Mark Amerika meant that _________.
A. he could not help but set his Grammatron and thers in Industrial Revolution
B. conventional writers had been increasingly challenged by high technology
C. much of his Grammatron had proved to be cybernetic dependent
D. he couldn’t care less about new advance in computer software
77. As the passage shows , Grammatron makes it possible for readers to _____________-
A. adapt the story for a video version
B. “walk in” the story and interact with it
C. develop the plots within the author’s control
D. steal the show and become the main character
78. Amerika told his students not to ____________
A.immerse themselves only in creating the plot
B. be captivated by the plot alone while reading
C. be lagged far behind in the plot development
D. let their plot get lost in the on-going story
Passage 4
    In 1993, a mall security camera captured a shaky image of two 10-year-old boys leading a much smaller boy out of a Liberpool, England, shopping center. The boys lured James Bulger, 2, away from his mother, who was shopping , and led him on a long walk across town. The excursion ended at a railroas track. There, inexplicably, the older boys tortured the toddler, kicking him, smearing paint on his face and pummeling him to death with bricks before heaving him on the track to be dismembered by a train. The boys, Jon Venables and Robert Thompson, then went of to watch cartoons.
    Today the boys are 18-year-ole men, and after spending eight years in juvenile facilities, they have been deemed fit for release--probably this spring. The dilemma now confronting the English justice system is how to reintegrate the notorious duo into a society that remains horrified by their crimes and skeptical about their rehabilitation. Last week Judge Elizabeth Butler-Sils decided the young men were in so much danger that they needed an unprecedented shield to protect them upon release. For ht e rest of their lives, Venable sands Thompson will have a right to anonymity. All English media outlets are banned from publishing any information about their whereabouts of the new identities the government will help them establish. Photos of the two or even details about their current looks are also prohibited.
     In the U.S, which is harder on juvenile criminals than England, such a ruling seems inconceivable. “We’re clearly the most punitive in the industrialized world,” says Laurence Steinberg, a Temple University professor who studies juvenile justice. Over the past decade, the trend in the U.S. has been to allow publication of ever more information about underage offenders. U.S. courts also give more weight to press freedom than English courts ,ewhich, for example, ban all video cameras.
    But even for Britain, the order is extraordinary. The victim’s family is enraged, as are the ever eager British tabloids. “What right have they got to be given special protection as adults?” asks Bulger’s mother Denise Fergus. Newspaper editorials have insisted that citizens have a right to know if Venables of Thompson move in next door. Says conserbative Member of Parliament Humfrey Malins;”It almost leaves you with the feeling that the nastier the crime, the greater the chance for a completely new life.”
79. What occurred as told at the beginning of the passage?
A. 2 ten-year-olds killed James by accident in play
B. James Bulger was killed by his two brothers.
C. Two mischievous boys forged a train accident.
D. A little kid was murdered by two older boys.
80.According to the passage, Jon Venables and Robert Thompson________________
A. hav been treated as juvenile delinquents
B. have been held in protective custody for their murder game
C. were caught while watching cartoons eight years ago
D. have already served out their 10 years in prison
81.The British justice system is afraid that the two young men would_______________
A. hardly get accustomed to a horrifying general public
B. be doomed to become social outcasts after release
C. still remain dangerous and destructive if set free
D. be inclined to commit a recurring crime
82. According to the British courts, after their return to society, the two adults will be __________
A. banned from any kind of press interview
B. kept under constant surveillance by police
C. shielded from being identified an killers
D. ordered to report to police their whereabouts
83. From the passage we can infer that a US counterpart of Venables or Thompson would________.
A. have no freedom to go wherever he wants
B. serve a life imprisonment for the crime
C. be forbidden to join many of his relatives
D. no doubt receive massive publicity in the U>S>
84. As regards the mentioned justice ruling, the last paragraph mainly tells that ________________
A. it is controversial as it goes without precedent
B. the British media are sure to do the contrary
C. Bulger’s family would enter all appeal against it
D. Conservatives obviously conflict with Liberals
Passage 5
    Can the Internet help patients jump the line at the doctor’s office? The silicon Valley Employers Forum, a sophisticated group of technology companies, is launching a pilot program to test online “virtual visits “ between doctors at three big local medical groups and about 6,000 employees and their families. The six employers taking part in the Silicon Valley initiative, including heavy hitters such as Oracle and Cisco Systems, hope that online visits will mean employees won’t have to skip work to tend to minor ailments of to follow up on chronic conditions. “With our long commutes and traffic, driving 40 miles to your doctor in your hometown can be a big chunk of time, “ says Cindy Conway, benefits director at Cadence Design Systems, one of the participating companies.
     Doctors aren’t clamoring to chat with patients online for free; they spend enough unpaid time ton the phone. Only 1 in 5 has ever E-mailed a patient, and just 9 percent are interested in doing so, according to the research firm Cyber Dialogue.”We are not stupid,” says Stirling Somers, executive of the Silicon Valley employers group. “Doctors getting jpaid is a critical piece in getting this to work.” In the pilot program, physicians will get $20 per online consultation, about what they get for a simple office visit.
    Doctors also fear they’ll be swamped by rambling E-mails that tell everything but what’s needed to make a diagnosis. So the new program will use technology supplied by Healinx, an Alameda, Calif.-based start-up. Healinx’s “Smart Symptom Wizard” questions patients and turns answers into a succinct message. The company has online dialogues for 60 common conditions. The doctor can then diagnose the problem and outline a treatment plan, which could include E-mailing a prescription or a face-to-face visit.
    Can E-mail replace the doctor’s office? Many conditions, such as persistent cough, require a stethoscope to discover what’s wrong—and to avoid a malpractice suit. Even Larry Bonham, head of one of the doctor’s groups in the pilot, believes the virtual doctor’s visits offer a “very narrow” sliver of service between hone calls to an advice nurse an a visit to the clinic.
    The pilot program, set to end in nine months, also hopes to determine whether online visits will boost worker productivity enough to offset the cost of the service. So far, the Internet’s record in the health field has been underwhelming. The experiment is “a huge roll of the dice for Healinx,” notes Michael Barrett, an analyst at Internet consulting firm Forester Research. If the “Web visits” succeed, expect some HMOs(Health Maintenance Organizations) to pay for online visits. If doctors, employers, and patients aren’t satisfied, figure on one more E-health start-up to stand down.
85. the Silicon Valley employers promote the E-health program for the purpose of ___________
A. rewarding their employees
B. gratifying the local hospitals
C. boosting worker productivity
D. testing a sophisticated technology
86. What can be learned about the on-line doctors’ visits?
A. They are a quite promising business.
B. They are funded by the local government.
C. They are welcomed by all the patients
D. They are very much under experimentation.
87.Of he following people, who are not involved in the program?
A. Cisco System employees
B. advice nurses in the clinic
C. doctors at three local hospitals   
D. Oracle executives
88. According to Paragraph 2, doctors are___________
A. reluctant to serve online for nothing
B. not interested in Web consultation
C. too tired to talk to the patients online
D. content with $20 paid per Web visit
89. “Smart Symptom Wizard” is capable of ___________
A. making diagnoses
B. producing prescriptions
C. profiling patients’ illness

Passage I
Small, pink and very ugly. Hardly the qualities of a star, but they describe the deformed mouse that was the media darling at a recent science exhibition in Beijing. With a complex tissue structure in the shape of a human ear grafted on to its back, the rosy rodent was a stunning symbol of the serious strides China is making in the field of


biotechnology.
China is fast applying the latest life-science techniques learned from the West to aggressively pursue genome research. It&#39;s establishing its own centers of technical excellence to build a scientific base to compete directly with the United States and Europe. With a plentiful supply of smart young scientists at home and lots of interest abroad biotechnology is on the brick of a boom in China. And in the view of foreign scientists, Beijing is playing a clever hand, maximizing the opportunities open to them.
For the moment, the cooperation exists mostly with Europe and the U.S. But Asia&#39;s other biotech leaders, Japan, Singapore and Korea, also are recognizing China&#39;s potential as an attractive low-cost base to conduct research. These partnerships—and China&#39;s advancement in the field of biotechnology—could help benefit the rest of Asia: China&#39;s rapid progress in improving crop yields will address food-security concerns in the region, In addition, China is more likely to focus on developing cheap technology that its predominantly poor population—and those of other Asian countries—-can afford.
There remain, however, serious barriers to the development qf a strong biotech industry. Among them are a poor domestic legal framework, weak enforcement of intellectual-property rights and loose adherence to international standards, China is a signatory of the International Bio Safety Protocol, which should mean adherence to global standards governing the conduct of field trials. But some observers are skeptical. &#39;The regulations look good, but I haven&#39;t met one scientist who believes they are being fully adhered to," says a European science analyst.
If shortcuts are taken, then some of the recent scientific achievements trumpeted in the official press may never make it to market. But no matter how strict lab tests are. other problems lie in waii. For example, there is a number of tasks it would take years :o fulfill in the patents office, says one lawyer, leaving innovators with little protection if they take a product to market in China.
56, The mouse on display is most significant in that _    _.
A.    it has an ear in the shape of a human ear
B.    it is unusually small and ugly as a star
C.    it is the focus of the media at the exhibition
D.    it indicates China&#39;s progress in biotechnology

57.    The phrase "on the brink of a boom" (in boldface in Paragraph 2) in the context
means     .
A.    having an edge in competition
B.    in great demand
C.    on the way to success
D.    preparing for challenge
58.    In the field of biotechnology China is thought to    .
A.    have been making an utmost effort learning from the West
B.    have become a country among the advanced
C.    have been able to rival the United Sates and Europe
D.    have launched a biotechnological revolution
59.    Japan, Singapore, and Korea will also be interested in cooperating with China in biotechnology because    .
A.    it has made extraordinary contributions to the world
B.    it has large supplies of talents and advanced research centers
C.    its research focuses on the benefits of all Asian countries
D.    its cooperation with the US and Europe proves profitable
60.    Science analysts are worried that China, in the course of biotech development,      
A. might refuse to join efforts to adhere to global standards
B.    may put too much emphasis on developing cheap technology
C.    cannot afford to fulfill years of tasks in assessing patents
D.    may not seriously follow the International Bio Safety Protocol
61. As implied in the context, the shortcuts that might be taken include    .
A.    publicizing recent achievements in the official press
B.    the protection of innovators with their products
C.    the violation of intellectual-property rights
D.    making lab tests as strict as possible
Passage 2
The sizzling streams of sunlight were just beautifully glimmering down on the crisp green schoolyard. Such a wonderful day that was. Nothing could have ruined it.

Little Jimmy, since it was such a wonderful day, decided to go to the corner store and buy himself a little treat. As Jimmy started walking over to the store, Clouds flocked over the dazzling sun and the sudden pitch dark meant no trouble, On the other side of the road were three white boys from Jimmy&#39;s same school. Upon recognizing Jimmy, the boys ran over the street to where he was.
"Hey Negro, what&#39;s up?" one of the white boys said,
"Did your mamma pack you enough to eat today? "another hooted. "Just leave me alone," Little Jimmy said.
" Oh no, Jimmy&#39;s really getting pist off!?" the first boy retaliated. "Just shove off and let me be," Jimmy answered.
It is like this everyday, everywhere, and every time, people suffer discrimination. All because they have differences amongst each other. Different beliefs, different cultures, different skin colors, all of these act like building blocks to help construct what we know as Racism.
Racism has become one of the many burdens amongst multi-cultural worlds like Canada and the States. Racism is a part of each and every one of us. No doubt, we are all racist, but the term racism has been used too loosely. Racism has been mutated to such an extent that ii could be a reason for war, a symbol of terrorism, and even an excuse for neglecting.
Is that all there is to it? No, actually it is just the beginning. Racism is just like warfare in which there is no shelter and nobody is neutral.
Nobody is exempt from this demon. He has haunted us with a bitter curse. On one occasion I remember, nobody would play with me at school. 1 would walk around by myself and ask people if we could play together. Everywhere that 1 went, like the process of induction, everyone would avoid me. Like two inducted poles with the some polarity, they would just shimmer off into the distance and continue to do whatever they&#39;re doing. Because of racial differences, they neglect me.
People are afraid of the unknown, and it is this difference amongst people that spread rumors and distrust amongst people. Corrupting our thoughts and reasons, we get accustomed to thinking differences are omens. Amongst smaller kids, there is no difficulty in getting them to all play together, Their thoughts are not totally corrupted as others. Probably the demon has no time to bother with smaller children.



62.    With the description of the weather and Jimmy&#39;s teeling about it the author intends to show that    .
A.    what a happy world it is for humans
B.    what an innocent boy Jimmy was
C.    what an unusual thing that was to happen to Jimmy
D.    what a wonderful world that people have ignored
63.    From the conversation with the three white boys, we learn that Jimmy  

A.    must have offended them before
B.    was a pleasant boy to be talked to
C.    was being humiliated for being black
D.    must have got used to their behaviors
64, According to the author, Racism   
A.    leads to a world with no variety
B.    does not see the differences between cultures
C.    hinders rhe world&#39;s economic development
D.    does not tolerate coexistence of different cultures
65.    By saying &#39;&#39;No doubt, we are alt racist" (in boldface in Paragraph 3) the author admits that            .
A.    we are all warlike by nature
B.    we all discriminate against other peoples
C.    we are all proud of our own race and nation
D.    we all focus on the difference between races
66,    To be continued, the passage would probably be followed by a paragraph that deals with   
A.    how children&#39;s thoughts are corrupted by racism as they grow
B.    the author&#39;s far more miserable experience of being neglected
C.    how the black people should unite to fight against the Whites
D.    the education of smaller children to behave pleasantly to each other

67. Which of the following can best describe the tone of the passage?
A.    provocative
B.    indignant
C.    sentimental
D.    sarcastic
Passage 3
This week marks the 10th anniversary of the Alar apple scare, in which many American consumers were driven into a panic following the release of a report by an environmental organization claiming that apples containing the chemical Alar posed a serious health threat to preschoolers. The report was disseminated through a PR (Problem Report) campaign and bypassed any legitimate form of scientific peer review. Introduced to the American public by CBS&#39; "60 Minutes," the unsubstantiated claims in the report led some school districts to remove apples from their school lunch programs and unduly frightened conscientious parents trying to develop good eating habits for their children.
Last month, Consumers Union released a report warning consumers of the perils of consuming many fruits and vegetables that frequently contained &#39;"unsafe" levels of pesticide residues. This was especially true for children, they claimed. Like its predecessor 10 years earlier, the Consumers Union report received no legitimate scientific peer review and the public&#39;s first exposure to it was through news coverage.
Not only does such reporting potentially drive children from consuming healthful fruits and vegetables, the conclusions were based on a misleading interpretation of what constitutes a "safe" level of exposure. Briefly, the authors used values known as the "chronic reference doses," set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, as their barometers of safety. Used appropriately, these levels represent the maximum amount of pesticide that could be consumed daily for life without concern. For a 70-year lifetime, for example, consumers would have to ingest this average amount of pesticide every day for more than 25,000 days. It is clear, as the report points out. that there are days on which kids may be exposed to more; it is also clear that there are many more days when exposure is zero. Had the authors more appropriately calculated the cumulative exposures for which the safety standards are meant to apply, there would have been no risks and no warnings.
Parents should feel proud, rather than guilty, of providing fruits and vegetables for their children. It is well established that a diet rich in such foods decreases the risk of heart disease and cancer. Such benefits dramatically overwhelm the theoretical risks of

tiny amounts of pesticides in food. So keep serving up the peaches, apples, spinach, squash, grapes and pears.
68.    In the Alar apple scare, many Americans were frightened because    ,
A.    scientists warned that apples were dangerous
B.    many school children became ill after eating apples
C.    it was reported that apples were harmful to health
D.    apples were discovered to have too much pesticide
69.    The warning message about the Alar apple was given    .
A.    by Consumers Union
B.    by a health center
C.    through an news agency
D.    through the government
70.    The last month report parallels that on the Alar apple scare in that    .
A.    neither really caused worry among the public
B.    neither underwent a scientific peer review
C.    neither provided statistical supports
D.    neither aimed for the public good
71.    The &#39;&#39;chronic reference doses" (in boldface in Paragraph 3) refer to    .
A,    the safe levels of pesticide exposure
B.    the amount of fruits one can safely eat
C,    one&#39;s digestive capacity for fruits
D.    health values of fruits and vegetables
72.    With  regard  to  the  pesticides  in  food,  this  passage  seems  to  argue  that        
A.    parents should keep their children from the food with pesticides
B.    they should be applied to fruits and vegetables with caution
C.    more research needs to be done on their harmfulness to health
D.    they are not as threatening as said to children most of the time

73, The primary purpose of this passage is to explain that   
A.    not all reports on food are scientifically sound
B.    it is important for the public to know the risks of pesticides
C.    vegetables and fruits can be harmful to children&#39;s health
D.    there should be no public concern over pesticides
Passage 4
Abortion. The word alone causes civil conversation to flee the room. This is largely because the pro-choice and pro-life positions are being defined by their extremes, by those who scream accusations instead of arguments.
More reasonable voices and concerns, on both sides of the fence, are given little attention.
For example, prolife extremists seem unwilling to draw distinctions between some abortions and others, such as those resulting from rape with an underage child. They would make no exception in the recent real-life case of a woman who discovered in her fifth month that her baby would be bom dead due to severe disabilities.
On the other hand, pro-choice extremists within feminism insist on holding inconsistent positions. The pregnant woman has an unquestionable right to abort, they claim. Yet if the biological father has no say whatsoever over the woman&#39;s choice, is it reasonable to impose legal obligations upon him for child support? Can absolute legal obligation adhere without some son of corresponding legal rights?
The only hope for progress in the abortion dialogue lies in the great excluded middle, in the voices of average people who see something wrong with a young girl forced to bear the baby of a rapist.
Any commentary on abortion should include a statement of the writer&#39;s position, I represent what seems to be a growing "middle ground" in pro-choice opinion. Legally, 1 believe in the right of every human being to medically control everything under his or her own skin. Many things people have a legal right to do, however, seem clearly wrong to me: adultery, lying to friends, walking past someone who is bleeding on the street. Some forms of abortion fall into that category. Morally speaking, my doubts have become so extreme that I could not undergo the procedure past the first three months and 1 would attempt to dissuade friends from doing so.
Partial-birth abortion has thrown many pro-choice advocates into moral chaos. I find it impossible to view photos of late-term abortion—the fetus&#39;s contorted features, the tiny fully formed hands, the limbs ripped apart—without experiencing nausea. This reaction makes me ineffectual in advocating the absolute right to abortion. 1 stand by

tlie principle, "a woman&#39;s body, a woman&#39;s right" but I don&#39;t always like myself for do ing so.
Fanatics on both sides are using reprehensible and deceitful tactics. An honest dialogue on abortion must start by re-setting the stage, by denouncing the approaches that block communication.
74.    According to the passage, the  pro-life and  pro-choice positions on abortion are   
A.    complementary to each other
B.    opposed to each other
C.    similar in nature
D.    reconcilable in a way
75.    To a pro-life extremist,    .
A.    all babies should be carried to term
B.    babies resulting from rape should not be bom
C.    deformed babies can be aborted when detected
D.    an underage girl has no right to give birth
76. According to the pro-choice position,   
A.    a pregnant woman cannot abort her baby if its father agrees to keep it
B.    a pregnant woman has an absolute right of choice over an abortion
C.    the baby&#39;s father also has a say over its mother&#39;s choice of abortion
D.    the baby&#39;s father has an unalienable obligation to support the baby
77, Who would insist that the baby be born whether or not it is the child of a rapist?
A.    the author
B.    average people
C.    a pro-choice advocate
D.    a pro-life extremist
78. The author doubts the legal  right to  lie to  friends as  well  as the one to     

A.    abort a fetus in its fifth month
B.    view the photos of late-term abortion
C.    give birth to a baby in one&#39;s teenage
D.    dispose of whatever under one&#39;s skin

Passage 5
In the absence of optimism, we are left with nothing but critics, naysayers, and prophets of doom. When a nation expects the worst from its people and institutions, and its experts focus exclusively on faults, hope dies. Too many people spend too much time looting down rather than up, Finding fault with their country&#39;s political institutions, economic system, educational establishment, religious organizations, and—worst of all—with each other.
Faultfinding expends so much negative energy that nothing is left over for positive action. It takes courage and strength to solve the genuine problems that afflict every society. Sure, there will always be things that need fixing. But the question is, Do you want to spend your time and energy tearing things down or building them up?
The staging of a Broadway show could illustrate my point. Let&#39;s say a new production is about to open, A playwright has polished the script, investors have put up the money, and the theater has been rented, A director has been chosen, actors have been auditioned and selected, and the cast has been rehearsing for weeks. Set, lighting, and sound engineers have been hard at work. By the time opening night arrives, nearly a hundred people have labored tirelessly—all working long hours to make magic for iheir audience.
On opening night, four or five critics sit in the audience, [f they pan it, the play will probably close in a matter of days or weeks. If they praise it, the production could go on for a long and successful run. In the end, success or failure might hinge on the opinion of a single person—someone who might be in a bad mood on opening night! What&#39;s wrong with this scene? In one sense, nothing. Critics have a legitimate role. The problem arises when we make critics our heroes or put them in control of our fate. When we empower the critic more than the playwright, something is wrong. It is much easier to criticize than to create. When we revere the critics of society, we eventually become a society of critics, and when that happens, there is no room left for constructive optimism.

Are you really in love? How do you know the difference between love and infatuation? This is often difficult to determine, for there are no set rules surrounding the definitions of love or infatuation. Romantic love is very much a part of the American way of life and many expect that some day "it" is going to hit them and they will know they are in love.
What are some of the differences between love and infatuation? 1) Genuine love is more likely to involve a process of "growing" in love rather than "falling" in love. This may sound terribly unromantic to some who are used to hearing talk about "falling in love" or being "head over heels in love". This "falling" is often infatuation, and the sheer emotion of "falling31 in love often blinds a person to the imperfections of the loved one. We tend to think of the loved one as "perfect", "ideal", or some other divine image. Real love sees the total person—both the "perfection" and the imperfection. Infatuation, then, is a sudden, emotional sense that one has discovered the "perfect" lover. On the other hand, love realizes imperfections and grows with the acceptance of those imperfections.
2)    Love leads a person to a feeling of security and trust in the loved one. It usually
involves a feeling of mutual benefit arising from the new relationship. "We are able to
solve our problems together" is the feeling of love, rather than &#39;Please love me because
I need you."
3)    Infatuation often entails feelings of insecurity whenever the "lovers" are
separated: feelings of doubt, fickleness, uncertainty, and fear of loss often accompany
Infatuation. "What will I do if I lose him?" and "1 wonder if she really means it when
she says she loves me?" express the feelings of infatuation, in such a setting a lasting
love does not have a chance to develop.
41 Infatuation tends to be more manipulative than love because a lasting feel inn of relationship probably has not developed, so that the individuals are still concerned mainly about their own needs and satisfactions. Conversely, in love, the feeling of relationship is genuine and sincere so that concern for the other person evolves naturally.


5) Physical attraction is an important part of both infatuation and love, but the superficial attraction is less important in love, for the couple experiencing Jove usually will build their relationship on a broader base than mere physical attraction.
