Family Violence Passage Two During the Christmas shopping rush in London, the interesting story was reported of a tramp (Á?ÀËÕß) who, apparently though no fault of his own, found himself locked in a well-known chain store late on Christmas Eve. No doubt the store was crowded with last-minute Christmas shoppers and the staff were dead beat and longing to get home. Probably all the proper security checks were made before the store was locked and they left to enjoy the three-day holiday untroubled by customers desperate to get last-minute Christmas presents. However ridiculous that may be, our tramp found himself alone in the store and decided to make the best of it. There was food, drink, bedding and camping equipment, of which he made good use. There must also have been television sets and radios. Though it was not reported if he took advantage of these facilities, when the shop reopened he was discovered in bed with a large number of empty bottles beside him. He seems to have been a man of good humor as indeed tramps very commonly are. Everyone else was enjoying Christmas, so he saw no good reason why he should not do the same. He yielded himself cheerfully, and was taken by the police. Perhaps he had had a better Christmas than usual. He was sent to prison for seven days. Tile judge awarded no compensation (Åâ??) to the chain store for the food and drink our tramp had consumed. They had, in his opinion, already received valuable free publicity from the story revealed in the newspaper and on television Perhaps the judge had a good Christmas, too. 36. The tramp was locked in the store ______. A. for 7 days B. on purpose C. by accident D. for security reasons 37.

When the tramp was arrested, he ______. A. was drunk B. felt he deserved it C. made no resistance D. felt himself wronged 40. The judge didn't award compensation to the chain store because ______. A. the store was responsible for what happened B. the report of the event benefited the store a lot C. the tramp had stolen nothing of value D. the tramp was penniless Passage Three If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research result of Professor Faulkner, who says that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon. Professor Faulkner wanted to find out why healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and to reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down. He set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and occupations. Computer technology enabled him to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front andside sections of the brain, which relate to intelligence and emotion, and determine the human character. Contraction of front and side parts--as cells die off--was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty-and seventy-year-olds. Faulkner concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to slow the contraction--using the head. The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Faulkner, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White-collar workers doing routine work are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant. Faulkner's findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. "The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain," he says. "Think hard and engage in conversstion, Don't rely on pocket calculators." 41. Professor Faulkner wanted to find out ______. A. how people's brains shrink B. the way of making people live longer C. the size of certain people's brains D. why certain people aged sooner than others 42. Faulkner's research findings are based on______. A. a survey of farmers in northern Japan B. tests performed on a thousand old people C. the study of brain volumes of different people D. the latest development of computer technology 43. The professor's tests show that ______. A. our brains shrink as we grow old B. the front section of the brain does not shrink C. seventy-year-olds have better brains than sixty-year-olds D. brain contraction may vary among people of the same age 44. The underlined word "subjects" in paragraph 5 means ______. A. branches of knowledge studied in a school B. something to be considered C. persons experimented on D. citizens in a country 45. According to the passage, which group of people seem to age slower than the others? A. Farmers. B. Lawyers. C. Clerks. D. Shop assistants. Passage Four News has just been received of an air crash in the north of England. The plane, which was on a charter (?ü×â)flight from London to Carlisle, was carrying a party of businessmen on their way to a trade fair. It seems likely that the plane ran into a heavy fog as it was approaching Carlisle and was obliged to circle for some twenty minutes. Everything seemed to be going well. The pilot was in constant radio communication with Ground Control when the engines suddenly cut out and all contact was lost. The plane crashed on the site of the ancient Roman camp at Hadrin' s Hill, a place well known to archaeologists (???ÅÑ??Ò) and tourists. So far few details have been reported, but it is feared that at least twenty people lost their lives, among them the pilot, who was killed instantly. The local ambulances and firemen were on the scene within minutes of the crash, but additional help had to be rushed from other areas. Mr. Lesilie Collins, one of the survivors, told our reporter, "We passengers noticed the engines were making a funny noise. Of course we couldn't see anything because of the fog, but the pilot said there was nothing to worry about. The next thing we know, the engines went dead. There was a rushing noise--and after that I don??t remember any more." Mr. Collins is now in hospital, being treated for minor injuries. We will be bringing you further news of the crash as we receive it. In the meantime relatives are asked to ring 02-3457211 for information. 46. The plane was ______.

Students work on their own at home, at work, or at school and communicate with faculty and other students by means of e-mail, electronic meetings, videoconferencing, chat rooms, instant messaging and other forms of computer-based communication. There are both advantages and disadvantages to online distance learning. There are many benefits to using online distance learning environments. Online education is available all the time, anywhere and to all people. However, there are weaknesses for some learners. The online learner only has the written text and no other face-to-face hints.
