The Choice of MagiciansEvery culture has a recognized point when a child becomes an adult, when rules must befollowed and tests passed.In China, although teenagers can get their ID cards at 16, many only see themselves as anadult when they are 18. In the US, where everyone drives, the main step to the freedom of adultlife is learning to drive. At 16, American teens take their driving test. When they have their license,they drive into the grown-up world.“Nobody wants to ride the cheese bus to school, “ said Eleanor Fulham, 17. She broughtthe pressure back to memory, especially for kids from wealthier families. u Its like youYe notcool if you dont have a car, “ she said.According to recent research, 41 % of 16 to 19-year-olds in the US own cars, up from 23% in1985. Although, most of these cars are bought by parents, some teens get part-time jobs to helppay.Not all families can afford cars for their children. In cities with subways and limited parking,some teenagers dont want them. But in rich suburban areas without subways, and where bicyclesare more for fun than transportation, it is strange for a teenager not to have a car.But police say 16-year-olds have almost three times more accidents than 18 to 19-year-olds.This has made many parents pause before letting their kids drive.Julie Sussman, of Virginia, decided that her son Chad, 15, will wait until he is 17 to apply forhis learners permit.Chad said he has accepted his parents* decision, although it has caused some teasing from hisfriends. They say that I am unlucky, “ he said, But Id rather be alive than driving, andI _dont_reanyrusi_my_friends_onhe_road,_either.In China as more families get cars, more 18-year-olds learn to drive. Will this become a bigstep to becoming an adult?41. Which may serve as the best title of the article?A. Cars Helping You to Grow-UpB. Driving into the Grown-Up WorldC. Teenagers Driving in AmericaD. Recognized Point of Becoming an Adult42. 16-year-old drivers have more accidents possibly b e c a u s e .A. they want to show themselves offB. they are never experienced driversC. older people always drive betterD. they never drive carefully on the road43. Which may NOT be taken into consideration when deciding whether to buy a car?A. How well off the family is.B. Whether the kid is old enough.C. What traffic condition there is around.D. Whether its practically needed.44. When Chad said I dont really trust my friends“ ， he meant that.A. he might run into his friends if he droveB he didnt agree with his friendsC. he might not be safe if his friends droveD. he was afraid that his friends might well lie to him45. The passage mainly gives information about .A. an American cultureB a cultural difference between America and ChinaC. a change in the Chinese cultureD. the relationship between driving and a persons developmentCIm usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier orunhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of thesestatements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struckby a report which concluded that todays children are significantly more anxious than children inthe 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children aged 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level ofanxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.Why are Americas kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physicalisolation（ 隔离） brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among otherthings and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.Considering that we cantumhe clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the nextgeneration.At the top of the list is nurturing（ 培育） a better appreciation of the limits of individualism.No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individualsagainst stress.To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs andcomputers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for face-to-facerelationships, and they will get more sleep.Limit the amount of virtual（ 虚拟的） violence your children are exposed to. Its not just videogames and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people neverattended Harvard or Yale.Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties andprovide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesnt have to ruinyour life.46. According to the analysis, compared with normal children today, children treated asmentally ill 50 years ago.A. probably suffered less from anxietyB. were considered less individualisticC. were less isolated physicallyD. were probably less self-centered47. What does the author mean by saying we can*t turn the clock back“ in the thirdparagraph?A. It*s impossible to forget the past.B The social reality children are facing cannot be forgotten.C. Its impossible to slow down the pace of change.D. Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.48. The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about peoples state of mind areA. illogical B. confusingC. suiprising D. questionable49. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. To children, anxiety is completely avoidable.B. TV and computer play an important role in isolating children from the real world.C. Exercise does not help to lessen childrens anxiety.D. Sometimes local news about crime and murder also affects children a little.50. The first and most important thing parents should do to help their children is.A. to lower their expectations for themB. to set a good model for them to followC. to get them more involved sociallyD. to improve them with a safer environmentDJapanese high school students either walk or ride bicycles if the distance is not too great.

S. Environmental Protection Agency in Cincinnati, Ohio.“ Much of this nitrogen is transported into river and stream networks, “ Beaulieu said. Thefinding is important, the researchers say, because nitrous oxide is a potent greenhouse gas thatcontributes to climate change and destruction of the stratosphere ozone layer, which protects usfrom the suns harmful ultraviolet（ 紫夕 卜 线的） radiation. Compared with carbon dioxide, nitrousoxide is 300-fold more potent in terms of its warming potential, though carbon dioxide is a farmore popular greenhouse gas. Scientists estimate nitrous oxide accounts for about 6 percent ofhuman-induced climate change.Beaulieu and colleagues measured nitrous oxide production rates from denitrification （ 脱氮作用）in 72 streams draining multiple land-use types across the United States. When summedacross the globe, the results showed rivers and streams are the source of at least 10 percent ofhuman-caused nitrous oxide emissions to the atmosphere. This new global emission estimate isstartling, “ said Henry Gholz, a program director fbr the National Science Foundations Divisionof Environmental Biology, which funded the research. uChanges in agricultural and land-usepractices that result in less nitrogen being delivered to streams would reduce nitrous oxideemissions from river networks, “ Beaulieu said.56.
