1.Pr weather. Technical difficulties. These are sme f the typical causes f cancelled trains and planes. But smetimes, the excuse can be a lt mre trivial.
Just recently, passengers waiting fr a train t Peterbrugh heard the fllwing annuncement, “Fr reasns beynd ur cntrl, we regret t infrm passengers that the 13:46 Train t Peterbrugh has been cancelled. The next train will be arriving n Platfrm in apprximately 36 minutes.”
Oh, well, anther delayed train, thught mst passengers. But a cuple f them decided t enquire further. Incredibly, they were infrmed that the real reasn fr the nn-arrival f the train was that the driver refused t d his jb because his seat was wet.
“A wet seat? That’s gt t be a jke,” said ne passenger angrily. “I wuldn’t nrmally cmplain if the train is just a bit delayed, but this was unbelievable, ” he added. “What really made me angry is that this driver refused t get in the train,” said anther passenger. “He prbably went ff fr a cup f tea after that!” she added.
A spkespersn fr the rail cmpany aplgized fr the incident, but said the driver culdn’t sit n the damp seat, and wuldn’t be able t drive the train standing up. The spkespersn went n t explain that the seat had becme wet after water entered thrugh an pen windw when the train was being cleaned in a “train wash”
In anther transprt-related incident, a flight frm Chicag t Frankfurt made an emergency landing in Canada after the pilt spilled his cffee. Apparently, the spilt liquid caused the plane’s radi t send ut “transpnder cde 7500”, which is used t infrm grund cntrl that there’s been a hi-jacking (劫机). After landing in Trnt, the 255 passengers crew members were put up in a htel fr the night, then flwn n t Frankfurt the fllwing afternn. “What a disgusting trip!” said ne tired passenger after the painful experience had ended.

4.I remember the first time that I was extremely happy, I was abut 8 years ld when fr the first time, there was a cmputer in the classrm. I remember that my teacher allwed each student t take turns t play varius educatinal games n the cmputer. One day, I fund the surce cde fr ne f these games. Withut knwing r being taught any prgramming language, I was able t figure ut sme f the BASIC cde. I just gave myself a limitless number f lives in the game, s I culd cntinue playing it frever. This was als my first intrductin t algebra, and I didn’t even knw it at the time. This was a decisive mment in my life. I was quite excited because f what I was learning and what I was able t d. As a result, I was enthusiastic fr the rest f my life abut self-learning and cmputers, and I was quite happy ding them t.
I’ve nticed that peple wh are truly cntent with life are enthusiastic abut what they d. This enthusiasm, alng with gd health, is the key t being happy. It als leads t self-cnfidence and cntent in life t. It may als lead t success, wealth and achievements.
Success, wealth r achievements can als bring sme peple happiness, yet I knw plenty f rich peple wh are unhappy. I knw many peple with successful businesses that are nt happy with what they are ding. I knw peple wh cntinuusly buy themselves new tys, such as cars, cmputers, and televisins, yet never seem cntent fr t lng. Please remember, happiness is the jurney f life, nt the destinatin.

5. Play allws children t use their creativity while develping their imaginatin and physical, cgnitive (认知的), and emtinal strength. Play is imprtant t healthy brain develpment. Play allws children t create and explre a wrld they can master, cnquering their fears while practicing adult rles. Undirected play allws children t learn hw t wrk in grups, t share, t negtiate, and t reslve cnflicts.
Ideally, much f play invlves adults, but when play is cntrlled by adults, children acquiesce (顺从) t adult rules and cncerns and lse sme f the benefits play ffers them, particularly in develping creativity, leadership, and grup skills. In cntrast t passive entertainment, play builds active, healthy bdies. In fact, it has been suggested that encuraging unstructured play may be an exceptinal way t increase physical activity levels in children, which is ne imprtant strategy in the reslutin f the besity prblem.
Children’s develpment is critically influenced by apprpriate, affective relatinships with lving and cnsistent caregivers as they relate t children thrugh play. When parents bserve their children in play r jin with them in child-driven play, they are given a unique pprtunity t see the wrld frm their children’s vantage pint as the child navigates a wrld perfectly created just t fit his r her needs. The interactins that ccur thrugh play tell children that parents are fully paying attentin t them and help t build enduring relatinships. Parents wh have the pprtunity t lk at their children’s wrld learn t cmmunicate mre effectively with their children and are given anther setting t ffer guidance. Less verbal children may be able t express their views, giving their parents an pprtunity t gain a fuller understanding f their perspective. Quite simply, play ffers parents a wnderful pprtunity t engage fully with their children.
Play is essential t the academic envirnment. It ensures that the schl setting attends t the scial and emtinal develpment f children as well as their cgnitive develpment. It has been shwn t help children adjust t the schl setting and even t strengthen children’s learning willingness. Scial-emtinal learning is best integrated (融合) with academic learning; it is cncerning if sme f the frces that enhance children’s ability t learn are imprved at the expense f thers. Play and unscheduled time that allw fr peer interactins are imprtant cmpnents f scial-emtinal learning.

A. desn’t benefit the children at all
B. desn’t help develp leadership and grup skills
C. makes children becme mre active

B. children’s develpment is greatly influenced by relatinships with parents
C. play helps children better express their views
D. play ffers parents a unique pprtunity t see the wrld frm a different perspective
69. Frm the last paragraph, we knw that ________.
A. play can’t help children becme adapted t the schl setting
B. play makes scial-emtinal learning and academic learning separated
C. play is beneficial t scial-emtinal learning as well as academic learning
D. it is necessary t strengthen children’s academic develpment at the expense f thers

B. Play can imprve children’s willingness t learn.
C. Play helps adults gain a better understanding f the children’s thughts.

6. High childcare csts are putting British mthers ff ging ut t wrk. It really is that simple. Eurstat figures shw that 66 per cent f mthers in the UK wrk, less than France (72 per cent), Denmark (86 per cent), the Netherlands (78 per cent) r Germany (69 per cent). This nt nly damages Britain’s ecnmic prsperity—it limits wmen’s careers and squeezes family incmes. It wuld be fine if this is the chice parents want t make, but it isn’t. Half f thse surveyed want t g t wrk and the expense f childcare is ne f the key reasns they culdn’t.
Despite claims made by Labur (工党) abut childcare, a frthcming (即将到来的) reprt by the Institute fr Public Plicy Research (IPPR) cnfirms the true legacy f their time in gvernment. They left behind a childcare system with high csts t parents, variable quality and patchy (不均匀的) cverage, despite saring gvernment spending. British parents nw face the highest childcare bills in the wrld after Switzerland.
In the Eighties and Nineties under Mrs Thatcher and Jhn Majr, the picture was very different. Mthers in England were mre likely t g ut t wrk than their Dutch r German cunterparts. But the psitin has reversed, despite a huge rise in public spending.
S why des the British Gvernment spend mre n childcare than France r Germany, even thugh the csts given t parents are sky-high? As always, under the previus gvernment, mney was frittered away (浪费) withut adequate fcus n imprving quality. Instead f clear and transparent funding, fur separate funding streams were created, skewing (偏离) the market and cnfusing parents and prviders alike. The majrity f the mney was given away in cash benefits; s much f it did nt get thrugh t the frnt line.
The IPPR reprt pints ut that cntinental systems, in cuntries such as Germany, France, Denmark and the Netherlands, manage t deliver better value fr mney. What all f these systems have in cmmn is a fcus n quality, with greater flexibility and autnmy given t lcal prviders. They als see a much higher prprtin f gvernment mney getting t the frnt line.
64. Which f the fllwing desn’t belng t the disadvantages caused by the mthers prevented frm ging t wrk?
A. Damaging Britain’s ecnmic develpment.
B. Causing damage t wmen’s careers.
C. Decreasing the family incmes.
D. Causing childcare csts t g up.
65. Accrding t the secnd paragraph, we can infer that the frmer gvernment f the Labur Party _______.
A. was highly praised by British peple
B. made British peple face the highest childcare bills
C. left behind a childcare system full f prblems
D. managed t decrease the gvernment spending
66. We can learn frm the passage that _______.
A. in the Eighties and Nineties, mthers in the UK were likely t wrk
B. there is a prejudice against mthers in the UK emplyment market
C. mst f the mthers surveyed in the UK dn’t want t wrk
D. the percentage f mthers wh wrk in the UK is the lwest in the wrld
