When a person is curious about something, it means he is interested in it and wishes to know something about it. There is   16  wrong with curiosity in itself. Whether it is good or bad   17  on what people are curious about.
Curiosity  18  can be foolish or wrong. Some people with nothing to do are  19  of curiosity about what their neighbors are doing. They have a strong wish to know what they are   20  home or taking outside, or why they have come home so 21 or late.

（2010?冀州二模）
“A very disruptive(擾亂型的) six-year old child kicked my legs and clawed at my hand，”said one teacher. “I broke up a fight and was kicked between my legs，”said another. Many people have heard stories like this.  But the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents.
Every child , regardless of the circumstances into which they are born，has the right to achieve their potential，regardless of their parents’ wealth and class.  And we recognize that, as a nation，it is a long way to achieve this goal.But rights come with responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of neglecting the latter.
Far too many children are behaving badly at school，even to the point of being violent to staff. This is terrible enough，but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behavior of their parents. Too many are starting school unable to hold a knife and fork, unused to eating at a table，and unable to use the lavatory properly.  
We are in danger of becoming a nation of families living separate lives under one roof. The bedroom, once a place to sleep，has become the living space for the young. Spending hours in front of computer screens, on social networking sites or being immersed in computer games, children and young people spend little time with their parents. Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching.         
Schools cannot right the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute parents. Both parties need to work together. Parents must be helped and given confidence to take back control. They are responsible for setting boundaries for their children’s behavior and sticking to those boundaries when the going gets tough. They are responsible for setting a good example to their children and for devoting that most precious of resources—time—so that children come to school ready and are willing to learn.
小題1:In the opinion of the writer, what problem do people ignore?
A．The school violence.
B．The pressure of students’ learning.
C．The right to achieve students potential.
D．the responsibilities of the students.
小題2:The writer’s attitude to the behaviors of parents may be that of ________.
A．dissatisfiedB．unconcernC．understandingD．tolerance
小題3: The underlined part in Para. 4 may means__________.
A．parents and children live in their separate rooms
B．parents care little about children’s life at home
C．children don’t live with their parents in the same room
D．at home children live a different life from that of parents
小題4:What might be most suitable title for the passage?
A．Children’s behavior at school is worrying people
B．Parents expect schools to correct their children’s bad habits
C．There is no point in parents’ teaching children at home
D．Don’t blame teachers when it’s parents who are failing

The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean, so that the audiences could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other forever. He sent his camera crew out one evening to film the sunset for him.
The next morning he said to the men, “Have you provided me with that sunset?”
“No, sir,” the men answered.
The director was angry. “Why not?”  he asked.
“Well, sir,” one of the men answered, “we’re on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset.”
“But I want a sunset!” the director shouted. “Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.”
But then a young secretary had an idea. “Why don’t you photograph a sunrise,” she suggested, “and then play it backwards? Then it’ll look like a sunset.”
“That’s a very good idea!” the director said. Then he turned to the camera crew and said, “Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.”
The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay. Then at nine o’clock they took it to the director. “Here it is, sir,” they said, and gave it to him. He was very pleased.
They all went into the studio. “All right,” the director explained, “now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the ‘sunset’ behind them.”
The “sunset” began, but after a quarter of a minute, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop.
The birds in the film were flying backwards, and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach.
小題1:One evening, the director sent his camera crew out _________.
A．to film a scene on the seaB．to find an actor and an actress
C．to watch a beautiful sunsetD．to meet the audience
小題2: Why did the director want to send his crew to the west coast?
A．Because he changed his mind about getting a sunset.
B．Because he was angry with his crew.
C．Because he wanted to get a scene of sunset.
D．Because it was his secretary’s suggestion.
小題3: The director wanted to film a sunset over the ocean because ______.
A．it went well with the separation of the hero and heroine
B．when they arrived at the beach it was already in the evening
C．it was more moving than a sunrise
D．the ocean looked more beautiful at sunset
小題4: After the “sunset” began, the director suddenly put his face in his hands ______.
A．because he was moved to tears
B．as he saw everything in the film moving backwards
C．as the sunrise did not look as beautiful as he had imagined
D．because he was disappointed with the performance of the hero and heroine
小題5: Which of the following is NOT true?
A．The crew had to follow the secretary’s advice.
B．If you want to see a sunrise, the east coat is the place to go.
C．The camera crew wasn’t able to film the scene the first day.

He was 11 years old and often went fishing. On the day before bass (鱸魚) season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening.
When his pole doubled over, he knew something huge was on the other end. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully worked the fish. Finally, he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.
Lighting a match, the father looked at his watch. It was 10 pm — two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy, saying, “You’ll have to put it back, Son.”
Looking around, he saw no other fisherman or boats. Even so, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed. He threw the huge bass into the water. The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.
That was 34 years ago. Today the boy is a successful architect (建筑師) in New York. He often takes his son to fish at the same place.
And he was right. He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago. But he does see that same fish… again and again… every time he has an ethical (道德的) decision to make. As his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.
小題1:Seeing the boy skillfully pulling a big fish out of the water, the father felt __________.
A．admiringB．nervous
C．worriedD．shocked
小題2: On seeing that the big fish was a bass, __________.
A．they discussed how to deal with the fish
B．the boy threw the bass back into the water gladly
C．the father made a decision that the fish must be set free
D．they were worried that other fisherman might know what they had done
小題3:From the passage, we can learn that __________.
A．the father was an architect
B．the son never forgets the lesson
C．the father used to catch a big bass
D．the father made his son feel regretful all his life
小題4: The passage mainly wants to tell us that __________.

It was time for Mr. Rocco to shut up shop when I hurried into the florist’s. “Now, what is it you want?” Mr. Rocco turned to me. “I want the most beautiful flower you have.” I replied. “And just how much do you have to pay for this most beautiful flower?” I held out a wet hand showing a quarter and dime. He nodded, and then showed me a plant on the counter. “I can give you this one for 35 cents.” he said. “Aw, gee,” I protested, “it looks like a weed!” About 18 inches high, the plant was in a small pot covered with faded red paper. “Now trust me, boy—I promise that tomorrow morning when you get up, you will find your most beautiful flower.” said Mr. Rocco. I knew him to be a good honest man, so I agreed to take it.
