Perhaps part of the problem lies in the fact that morality is not a science, strictly speaking. It is too much of a social phenomenon, and also has too much of the personal and subjective things mixed within. Besides, morality itself changes with generations, so it is impossible to be printed in a normal textbook.I remember sitting through forty minutes of moral lessons, which told stories about little children who never told lies and were rewarded for their goodness. It had little effect and left no impression on me, though.If moral science has to be taught as a subject in schools, it needs a participatory approach. When you tell a child about moral, you also have to deal with social norms( 社会规范) and cultural differences. You have to explain that morality can be subjective, and be able to co-exist in society. You will probably have to refer to the morals at the present time.The best way to tell a child how to live is to show him what is valued. If a child likes his friend, you have to make the child think about why. Once the child notices and recognizes goodness in others, he or she is likely to develop it as well.In fact, children learn most of their morals by watching people around them. They absorb behaviour patterns from teachers and older students. They watch to see what is rewarded and who is punished. They learn on the sports field and through social work. Moral science lessons should simply consist of letting them live and interact, and watch you support correct values and reward good behaviour.36. Which is NOT the reason that moral science is taught in schools with little effect?A. Morality doesnt belong to a scienceB. Morality is more like a social phenomenon.C. Different generations have different moral ideas.D. Morality cant be written down in textbooks.37. The author describes his own experience of learning moral lessons in order to .A. explain that telling lies is not moral for little childrenB. advise that people should be rewarded for their goodnessC. prove that moral lessons in schools have little effectD. show that he has no impression of moral science38. When you tell a child about morals, you should .A. teach him to share personal moral ideas with othersB. tell him about social norms and cultural differencesC. explain that nobody can influence his moral ideasDsay that the morals at the present time will be changed39. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. The best way of teaching children about morals.B. The value of teachers setting a good example.C. The influence of peoples behaviour on morals.D. The importance of rewarding good behaviour.BFriend, The recent success of childrens books has made the general public aware that theres a huge market out there. And theres a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of childrens books bought each year plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers.Who are these needed writers? Theyre ordinary folks like you and me. But am I good enough?I was once where you might be now，My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didnt know where to turn for help.Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude（潜能），and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed.The promise that paid offThe Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability:You will complete at least one manuscript（手稿）suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.I really didnt expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened. I sold three stories. And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute.Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published childrens books and over 300 stories and articles.Free test and brochureWe offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training.Realize you writing dream today.

Crosswalks can be especially dangerous for the elderly. Among people 70 and older, 36% of pedestrian deaths in occurred in crosswalks, compared with 21% of those younger than 70, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) advises that next year States increase by nearly 15% the amount of time traffic lights provide for pedestrians to cross the street after the flashing orange hand appears.FHWA spokesman Doug Hecox says reasons for the change include an aging population that needs more time to cross, health conscious Americans walking more, children encouraged to walk to prevent getting overweight and high gas prices pushing people to walk instead of drive.Pedestrian deaths went down by 12% from 5, 449 in 1996 to 4,784 in ,.But among those in ,471 were killed in crosswalks, down slightly from 488 ten years earlier, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says.43.

The report from NHTSA suggests that .A. fewer people were injured in crosswalksB. crosswalk safety has greatly improvedC. much has been done to reduce traffic accidentsD. pedestrian deaths in crosswalks remain a serious problemD While watching the Olympics the other night, I came across an unbelievable sight. It was not a gold medal, or a world record broken, but a show of courage.The event was swimming and started with only three men on the blocks. For one reason or another, two of them false started, so they were disqualified. That left only one to complete. It would have been difficult enough, not having anyone to race against, even though the time on the clock is important.I watched the man dive off the block and knew right away that something was wrong. Im not an expert swimmer, but I can tell a good dive from a poor one, and this was not exactly medal quality. When he resurfaced, it was evident that the man was not out for gold his arms were waving in an attempt at freestyle. The crowd started to laugh. Clearly this man was not a medal competitor.I listened to the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man who was clearly having a hard time. Finally he made his turn to start back. It was pitiful. He made a few desperate strokes and you could tell he was worn out.But in those few awful strokes, the crowd had changed.No longer were they laughing, but beginning to cheer. Some even began to stand and shout “Come on, you can do it!” and he did.A clear minute past the average swimmer, this young man finally finished his race. The crowd went wild. You would have thought that he had won the gold, and should have. Even though he recorded one of the slowest times in Olympic history, this man gave more heart than any of the other competitors.Just a short year ago, he had never even swum, let alone race. His country had been invited to the Olympics.In a competition where athletes remove their silver medals feeling they have somehow been cheated out of gold, or when they act so proudly in front of their competitors, it is nice to watch an underdog.47. From the passage we can learn that the young man _.A. made his turn to start back pitifullyB. was skillful in freestyle in the gameC. swam faster than the average swimmerD. was not capable enough to win the medal48. The crowd changed their attitudes because _.A. they felt sorry for the young manB. they wanted to show their sympathyC. they were moved by the young manD. they me
