(C)
I was amng 31 murderers sent t the Luisiana State Penitentiary in 1962 t be executed r imprisned fr life. We were unskilled, impulsive and uneducated misfits, mstly black, wh had dne dumb, impulsive things—failures, rejects frm the larger sciety. Nw a generatin has passed since I've been here, and everything is much the same as I fund it. The vast majrity f us are handed ver t suffer and die here s pliticians can sell the illusin that permanently putting. peple t prisn will make sciety safe.
Getting tugh has always been a "silver bullet", a quick FIX fr the crime and vilence that sciety fears. Each year in Luisiana—where excess is a way f life—law-makers have tried t utd each ther in legislating harsher penalties. The nly thing t d with criminals, they say, is get tugher. In the prcess, the state basts ne f the highest lk-up rates in the cuntry, and impses the mst severe penalties in the natin.
If getting tugh resulted in public safety, Luisiana citizens wuld be the safest in the natin. They're nt. Luisiana has the highest murder rate amng states. Prisn, like the plice and the curts, has a minimal impact n crime because it is a respnse after the fact, Ht desn't wrk. The idea f punishing the few t discurage the many is fake because ptential criminals either think they're nt ging t get caught r they're s psychlgically distressed that they dn't care. abut the cnsequences f their actins. The threatened punishment, regardless f its severity, is never a factr in the equatin.
Prisn has a rle in public safety, but it is nt a cure-all. The nly effective way t cntain crime is fr sciety t wrk t prevent the criminal act in the first place. Our yungsters must be taught t respect humanity f thers and t handle dispute withut vilence. It is essential t educate and equip them with the skills t pursue their life ambitins in a meaningful way. As a cmmunity, we must address the adverse life circumstances that breed criminality. These things are nt quick, and they are nt easy, but they are effective. Pliticians think that's t hard a sell. They want smething they can pint t at re-electin time. S the drumbeat ges n fr mre plice, mre prisns, mre f the same failed plicies.
Ever see a dg chase its wn tail?
63, Which f the fllwing situatins is nt regarded as a"silver bullet"?
A Emplying a rundabut way t help students crrect their mistakes.
B. Setting up refuges t shelter the hmeless war victims.
C. Training farmers with farming techniques t help them ut f pverty.
D. Adpting effective plicies t save ecnmy frm wrsening.
64. Accrding t the passage, law makers' failure t make prper legislatin is due t the fact that_______.
A. they are prud and bastful f high lck-up rates
B. they fail t address the rt f the prblem
C. they dn't treat peple f different races alike
D. they give pririty t precautin ver punishment

Which Languages Take the Lngest t Learn
The difficulty in learning a freign language lies nt nly in its inherent cmplexity. The main reasn a language is hard is that it is different frm yur wn. What underlies the difficulty f such languages fr an English-speaker?
The first thing many learners will think f is the writing system. ______67______Chinesestands ut fr its difficulty. It is cmmnly said that a learner must memrize arund 2, 000characters t be able t read a newspaper. But even this estimate is criticized. Smene with 2, 000characters will still have t lk up unfamiliar nes in every few lines f text.
A secnd way languages can be hard is with sunds and distinctins that d nt exist in the learner's language, T an English-speaker, the nvelties include the clicks f many African languages. _______68_______ Mandarin and Cantnese have tnes, meaning ma with an even pitch and ma with a falling ne are different wrds.
The vcabulary bviusly matters t. Mst Eurpean languages share an ancestr(called prt-Ind Eurpean) and s their wrds, t, ften cme in related pairs. If yu knw water in Spanish is agua, it is easy t figure ut Italian acqua and English aquatic. Languages unrelated t the Eurpean nes(Arabic frm the Semitic family, r Chinese frm the Sin-Tibetan ne) will nt nly lack the “genetic” verlap in vcabulary. ____69______.
Finally, there is grammar. Many peple assciate tricky grammar with lng lists f endings that change accrding t a wrd's use in a sentence Many languages even feature an ending n verbs indicating hw the speaker knws the infrmatin t be true.
_____70_____If yu want t learn a language just fr fun, start with Swedish, If yu want t accumulate an impressive number. Stay in Eurpe. But if yu really want t impress. mastering Mandarin is the sign f the true linguistic Irnman.
IV. Summary Writing(10分)

Des Reading Imprve Health
When thinking abut ur well being and taking care f urselves, sme things that we shuld d are harder than thers. Reading is ne f the easier nes. What fllws are a number f ways in which reading can help maintain and imprve health.
Reading allws yu t de-stress by unplugging and escaping. In ne study, reading was fund t be as effective as yga and humr in reducing subjective feelings f stress ver a 30-minute perid, as well as bld pressure and heart rate. Nte that a gd ld-fashined bk r a dedicated eBk reader is the best way t d this.
Readers may live lnger than nn-readers. One study fund that this was suppsed t be due t the effect that reading has n maintaining cgnitive abilities ver time. In anther study f individuals aged 64 and ver, thse wh read at least nce a week were less likely t experience cgnitive decline than thse wh did nt. At the 14-year mark f the study, and regardless f educatinal level, thse wh read mre enjyed greater prtectin. This effect is maintained int readers'80's.
Biblitherapy, r the use f varius reading materials fr the prmtin f psychlgical health, is a well-knwn aid t mental health treatment. Biblitherapy can cnsist f any type f literature and may include self-help bks, fcused readings, first-hand accunts f thers' experiences, and even relevant fictin. This can be a pwerful strategy and has been used successfully t reduce depressin, suicidal thinking, anxiety, stress and etc.
The benefits f reading are innumerable and reading is a lw t n-cst activity. Cheap and n-cst bks are everywhere,Public libraries cntinue t be ne f the mst amazing resurces. If yu aren't a natural reader, yu have nthing t lse by giving it a try.
