She was eating something. A local man told her not to do so. The girls mother told him to mind his own business. A quarrel started. Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway rules say people cannot eat on the subway. The rules say the train will be filled with the smell of food. They say the smell will attract mice to the train. These mice might chew the cables and cause safety problems for passengers. People caught eating on the subway will be fined up to 2,000 Hong Kong dollars (1,625 yuan), Xinhua reported. Signs clearly say “no eating and the rule is often announced on the subway and in stations. However, the girl and her parents say they did not notice this.This seemingly small event has started a debate on the Internet, Xinhua reported.A netizen named Zhu Hongying said some Chinese consider bad habits like talking loudly in public places, spitting or jumping queues as small matters. They simply dont care because they think public places are not their private homes. “This kind of thinking shows a lack of a sense of social morality,she pointed out.Many people agree. “The parents (of the girl) should have apologized for their mistake, Zhang Nan, 15, a Senior 1 student at Diaotai High School, Shaanxi, said to Teens. “Quarreling after making the mistake only makes the situation more embarrassing for them.Reports of Chinese people behaving badly at tourist sites at home and abroad are nothing new. Such reports are affecting the way other countries see Chinese people. Some foreign airports put up signs in Chinese telling Chinese people not to talk loudly and not to spit everywhere. Many Chinese people find this embarrassing.All this shows that one of the secrets to a good journey is to learn about local customs and taboos before you go.56. A quarrel broke out _.A. when the girl and her mother broke the subway rulesB. because the girl ignored her mothers demandC. after the girls mothers improper responseD. the moment passengers criticized the girls mother57. The underlined word taboos probably means _.A. something you buy or keep to remind yourself of a place or an occasionB. a group of people who have the power to make and change lawsC. a general agreement that does not allow people to do, use or talk about somethingD. guidance offering information of local weather, accomodation and specialties58. According to the debate on the net reported by Xinhua, Chinese manners_.A. are far from being poorB. leave much to be desiredC. are only too easy to improveD. are always to blame anywhere anytime59. The passage wants to tell us that _.A. When in Rome, do as the Romans doB. Birds of a feather flock togetherC. Misfortune may be an actual blessingD. A real man never goes back on his words BA recent report at Dickinson State University in the United States will have made uncomfortable reading for parents in China. 对于中国学生家长们来说，一份于近日公布的针对美国狄克森州立大学的审查报告将令他们感到不安。Over the last four years, the college in North Dakota had issued diplomas(文凭) to 400 foreign students despite their failure to complete the required coursework. Roughly 95 percent of these students were Chinese.The report also criticized the schools recruitment (招生) process. Some overseas students were accepted with bad English or hadnt achieved the average “C grade they needed. There isnt any trace of diligence in many of them.过去四年中，这所位于美国北达科他州的学府中，有400名留学生在未能完成必修课程的条件，却仍然拿到了大学文凭。"Parents are surrendering their last resources to wager (压赌) them on a childs future by sending them abroad," said Lao Kaisheng, an education policy researcher at Capital Normal University. "If these children dont get the decent jobs and the salary that is expected, their parents will naturally be sucked into poverty."首都师范大学教育政策研究员劳凯声表示：“家长花光所有积蓄送子女出国是在拿钱赌孩子的明天。如果孩子们找不到体面的工作、没有预期的收入，那么家长自然就身陷贫困。The desire to send offspring to schools overseas has existed for decades, although today it is largely fueled by the belief that it gives youngsters an advantage in the tough domestic employment market.这种父母迫切想要送子女出国深造的情况已存在了几十年的时间了，只不过如今，家长认为出国留学能让孩子在竞争剧烈的国内就业市场占据优势，因此，这种想法就愈演愈烈了。However, not many Chinese families have enough saved in the bank to cover the tuition fees and accommodation and living expenses. Instead, many are choosing to take on massive debt at a critical time in their own life. It is a gamble, experts say, and the stakes are high.专家称，这就是一场风险很高的赌博。"People need to think over the input and potential output, as well as the risks that any investment brings," said Zhang Jianbai, who runs a private school in Yunnan province.一所私立校长张健柏音译表示：“人们需要企业仔细考虑资金投入、潜在回报以及这项投资所带来的风险。"Those who are now suffering trouble or financial difficulties would not have been in this position had they chosen a more suitable way to educate their children," he added.他还表示：“如果这些家长能够选择一种更恰当的方式来教育子女，那么他们就不会像现在这样陷入遭遇困境，遭遇经济危机。Here is an examle:教育质量差异After graduating from the university in Guangdong, Wang Jianhai was sent to Texas to get a masters degree, which his family believed would give him an edge in the job market. His father worked at an electronics factory and earned more than 10,000 yuan a month, so the adventure was not a great financial burden. However, after his return, 26-year-old Wang was no better prepared to find work. Even his English skills had not improved, he said, as "we stayed with other Asians most of the time". Eventually, his parents had to invest more money to help their only son eke out a meager living by running his own elec
