Laws for children are good things. One hundred years ago in some countries, children worked eighteen hours a day in a factory at the age of seven. The factory owner could beat a child who fell asleep or was not fast enough. Both parents and teachers could do the same.
Today, there are many laws about children all over the world. Some people think if children do something wrong, they should be punished (惩罚). Others do not agree. The Inuits or Eskimos in Alaska almost never punish their children. The parents do not beat them. If the children go too far, their parents will punish them by making fun of them. Children in other parts of the world are not as lucky as Eskimo children. American parents can beat their children at home, but a teacher can’t beat a child at school. This is also true in Germany. Instead, in Sweden it is against the law for anyone to beat a child. Swedish parents can’t beat their children. The children also have a government official (官员) who works for their fights (权力). There is even a plan for children to leave their parents, though this is not a law yet!

More than 50,000,000 people live in the rainforests of the world and most of them do not hurt the forest they live in. They eat the fruits that grow on the forest trees, but they do not cut them down. They kill some animals to eat, but they do not destroy them.
When we cut down the rainforests, we destroy these forest people, too. In 1900, there were 1,000,000 forest people in the Amazon forest. In 1980 there were only 200,000.
The Yanomami live along the rivers of the rainforest in the north of Brazil (巴西). They have lived in the rainforest for about 10,000 years and they use more than 2,000 different plants for food and for medicine. But in 1988, someone found gold. They cut down the forest to make roads. They made more than a hundred airports. The Yanomami people lost land and food. Many died because new diseases came to the forest with the strangers.
The Yanomomi people tried to save their forest, because it was their home. But the people who wanted gold were stronger.
Many forest people try to save their forests. Chico Medes was famous in Brazil because he wanted to keep the forest for his people ,“I want the Amazon forest to help all of us-forest people, Brazil, and all the earth.”he said. A few months later, in December 1988, people who wanted to cut down the forest killed Chico Medes.
In Borneo, people were cutting down the forest of the Penan people to sell the wood. The Penan people tried to save their rainforest. They made blockades (障碍) across the roads into the forest. In 1987, they closed fifteen roads for eight months. No one cut down any trees during that time.
In Panama, the Kuna people saved their forest. They made a forest park which tourists pay to visit.
The Cavioes people of Brazil use the forest, but they protect it as well. They find and sell Brazil nuts (坚果) which grow on the forest trees.
62. The number of the people living in the Amazon forest in 1980 was of that in 1900.
A. a half B. two-fifths C. one-fifth
63. The people who have destroyed the rainforest of the Yanomami.
A. pick fruits and kill animals to eat
B. made the roads and the airports
C. have lived there for about ten thousand years
64. Which of the following is wrong?
A. The Penan people closed 15 roads with blockades to save their forests.
B. The Penan people were cutting down the trees to sell the wood.
C. Those who wanted to cut down the trees were stopped at the road blockades.
65. In Panama, visitors have to before they enter the forest park of the Kuna people.
A. pay for the tickets B. buy Brazil nuts C. pay for the gold
66. From the passage, we learn that .

答案。
(A)
We send our children to school to prepare them for the time when they will be big
and will have to work for themselves. They learn their own language so that they will be able to tell others clearly what they want and what they know, and understand what others tell them. They learn foreign languages in order to be able to understand the people from other countries and make themselves understood. They learn history to know something about human beings they meet every day. What they learn at school is, of course, quite useful, but is that the only reason why they go to school?
No. There is more in education than just learning facts. We go to school, above all, to learn how to learn, so that when we have left school, we can continue to learn. A man who really knows how to learn will always be successful, because whenever he has to do something new, he will quickly teach himself how to do it in the best way. The uneducated person, on the other hand, is either unable to do anything new, or does it badly. So the purpose of school is not just to teach the students these useful subjects but teach the way to learn.
（B）
Joan worked in a hospital as a nurse. One evening there was a big dance at the hospital. Most of the doctors and nurses would be there, but of course somebody had to be left to look after the sick children, and Joan was not of the lucky ones. She liked dancing very much, so when she had to start work that evening while her friends were ready to go to the dance, she felt very sorry for herself.
She went to each sick child one after another and said good night, until she came to one little boy, Dicky. He was eleven years old, but he was already able to talk like an adult. Poor Dicky had a very serious illness, and now he was hardly able to move any part of his body except his hands. Joan knew he would never get any better, but he was always happy and always thinking about other people instead of about himself.
Dicky knew that Joan loved dancing, so now when she came to say good night to him, he greeted her with the words, “I’m very sorry that you have to miss the dance because of us. But we are going to have a party for you. If you look in my drawer, you’ll find a piece of cake. I saved it from my supper today, so it’s quite fresh. And there is also a dollar there. You can buy something to drink with that. And I would get up and dance with you myself if I was able to”, he added.
Suddenly the hospital dance seemed very far away and not all important to Joan.
