【正文】 in the school can have access to puters B. students in the school only have morning classes C. the school often serves Chinese food to students D. every Friday afternoon the students will have a tour 6 B “It hurts me more than you”, and “This is for your own good”—these are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework. That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right no t to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy for us. They taught that it was all right to be parents who take a letalone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation. Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we?ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who says of her students “so passive” and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to children?s passivity. “We?re talking about a generation of kids who?ve never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them, instead of saying ?go and look it up?, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.” Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It?s time for parents to end their vacation and e back to work. It?s time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it?s for their own good. It?s time to start telling them no again. 60.

The idea for the first public houses was brought to Britain thousands of years ago by the conquering Roman army. The first pubs served only wine, but after the discovery of hops (啤酒花 ) in the fourteenth century, pubs began to serve mainly beer, as they do today. Today, there are 61,000 pubs in the United Kingdom. One of the oldest, Fighting Cocks in St. Albans, Herts, is located in a building that dates back to the 11th century. Modern pubs are often owned by English breweries （啤酒廠） and serve only their owner?s products. British pubs are required to have a license, which is difficult to obtain, and operate between 11 . and 11 . 7 every day except Sunday, when they must close at 10:30 . The drinking age in Britain is eighteen, but fourteenyearolds may enter a pub unacpanied if they order a meal. Children may enter a pub with their parents until 9 ., which lets families enjoy reasonably priced pub meals together, and allows pubs to continue in their traditional roles as munity centers. Customs in British pubs differ from those in American bars. In Britain, you must go to the bar to order drinks and food and pay for your purchase immediately, and there is no table service. Bartenders are called “l(fā)andlords” and “barmaids” and they do not expect frequent tipping. To tip a landlord or barmaid, it is customary to tell him to “buy himself one”. He or she may or may not take you up on your offer. At the end of a visit, a polite customer will return his glass to the bar. 63. Which of the following is forbidden in Britain? A.
