Our parents have jobs that keep them busy almost all day long. The

26、y only have a free day in a week. This doesnt allow them to keep an eye on their children.On the other hand, the modern society gives more freedom to the children than they could “handle. As a child, you dont know how to grow up by yourself until you reach a certain age. That is why you need school

27、and parents to be by your side all the time. If you dont have either of them you may make a lot of mistakes. The social system of the modern society is very lenient especially with the children.Most of the children today are rebels (判逆者). They are rude. They are given too much freedom by their famil

28、ies. This is their parents mistake. They ought to know that the freedom they give to their children is misunderstood.For example it is a bad thing for a 17 year old child to go out in the evening on weekends. Parents are also guilty of the way their children show up in the street or at school. The s

29、ame guilt belongs to the teaching system as well. Pupils shouldnt be allowed to dress like they were on a fashion presentation at school.Another important fact we can think of regarding the freedom of children is their free will of spending money.

33、 ice meets the ocean. At the underside of the shelf there lives a small fish, the Antarctic cod.For forty years scientists have been curious about that fish. How does it live where most fish would freeze to death? It must have some secret. The Antarctic is not a comfortable place to work and researc

34、h has been slow. Now it seems we have an answer. Research was begun by cutting holes in the ice and catching the fish. Scientists studied the fishs blood and measured its freezing point. The fish were taken from seawater that had a temperature of -1.88C and many tiny pieces of ice floating in it. Th

35、e blood of the fish did not begin to freeze until its temperature was lowered to -2.05C. That small difference is enough for the fish to live at the freezing temperature of the ice-salt mixture.The scientists next research job was clear: Find out what in the fishs blood kept it from freezing. Their

36、search led to some really strange thing made up of a protein (蛋白质) never before seen in the blood of a fish. When it was removed, the blood froze at seawater temperature. When it was put back, the blood again had its antifreeze quality and a lowered freezing point.Study showed that it is an unusual

37、kind of protein. It has many small sugar molecules held in special positions within each big protein molecule. Because of its sugar content, it is called a glycoprotein. So it has come to be called the antifreeze fish glycoprotein, or AFGP.57. What is the text mainly about?A. The terrible conditions

38、 in the Antarctic. B. A special fish living in freezing waters.C. The ice shelf around Antarctica. D. Protection of the Antarctic cod.58.

39、otein keeps it from freezing. D. Its blood has a temperature lower than -2.05C.59. What does the underlined word “it in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. A type of ice-salt mixture. B. A newly found protein.C. Fish blood. D. Sugar molecule.60.
