    With the rapid increase of economic rate in western countries,more and more married young couples tend to have no child or only one. At the meantime,many developing nations adopt family planning policy to get rid of poverty. All these facts result in a world with population growth rate declining.But I myself would like to grow up in a big family.?
    Of course,a small family has its advantages.Firstly,the small family makes it easier for parents to bring up and educate their child.Parents could spend more time and money educating one child than several.The child could grow up in an influential environment.Secondly,the child could learn more survival skills for future success.?
    However,___________ .The only child becomes the little emperor.It would make the only child ask more for himself and think less of others.
    Besides,after the child grows up and gets married,the new couple has to take care of four old parents.That means the two children must work hard to support the four old parents.At present,many nations are facing the problem of becoming aged society.China will face this situation in a short time to come.?
    On the contrary,a big family weighs over a small family in many aspects.Firstly,parents could educate several children with almost the same time as they spend with one.Moreover,the old brothers or sisters could also help their parents bring up little children.Secondly,if one of the children turns out to be successful,it may mean he or she is becoming a model for other children to learn from.?
    Despite the fact that parents have to spend more time and money bringing up several children,it is not so difficult as people think it to be.With the help of good educational system and modern technology,it is becoming easier to afford several children.?

    Like many lovers of books, Mary and her husband, Richard Goldman, seldom walked past a bookstore without stopping to look inside. They often talked of opening their own store one day.
    When Mary was hospitalized with heart trouble in 1989, they decided it was time to get serious. Richard, who worked for a business company, was eager to work for himself, and Mary needed to slow down from her demanding job.
    They started by talking to bookstore owners and researching the industry. “We knew it had to be a specialty store because we couldn’t match the big chains dollar for dollar,” says Mary. One figure caught her attention: She’d read somewhere that roughly 20 percent of books sold were mysteries （推理小说）, and many buyers spent more $300 a year on books. She and Richard were themselves mystery readers.
    On Halloween 1992, they opened the Mystery Lovers Bookshop and Café near their home. With three children in college, the couple could not spend all the family’s money to start a shop. To cover the $100,000 cost, they drew some of their savings, borrowed from relatives and from an bank.
    The store merely broke even in its first year, with only $120,000 in sales. But Mary was always coming up with new ways to attract customers. The shop had a coffee bar and it offered gifts to mystery lovers and served dinners for book clubs that met in the store. She also invited dozens of writers to discuss their stories.
    Today Mystery Lovers makes sales of about $420,000 a year. After paying taxes, business costs and the six part-time sales clerks, Richard and Mary together earn about $34,000.
    “The job you love may not go hand in hand with a million-dollar income,” says Richard. “This has always been about an enjoyable life for ourselves, not about making a lot of money.”
    72．When Mary was in hospital, the couple realized that ____.
    A. they had to put their plan into practice
    B. health was more important than wealth
    C. heart trouble was a serious illness
    D. they both needed to stop working
    73．After Mary got well from her illness they began _____.
    A. to study industrial management  
    B. to buy and read more mystery books
    C. to do market research on book business
    D. to work harder to save money for the bookstore
    74．How did their bookstore do in the first year?
    A. They had to borrow money to keep it going.
    B. They made just enough to cover all the costs.
    C. They succeeded in earning a lot of money.
    D. They failed though they worked hard.
    75．According to Richard, the main purpose of running the bookstore is _____.
    A. to pay for their children’s education      
    B. to get to know more writers
    C. to set up more bookstores 
    D. to do what they like to do

    Cities alarmed by deaths and injuries of pedestrians are taking efforts to make crosswalks safer for people on foot, especially seniors and children who need more time to cross streets.
    A pedestrian is killed in a traffic accident in the USA every 110 minutes；one is injured every nine minutes, according to official date. Crosswalk can be especially dangerous for the elderly. Among people 70 and older, 36% of pedestrian deaths in 2006 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 2006. But among those in 2006, 471 were killed in crosswalks, down slightly from 488 ten years earlier, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says.
    小题1:Which of the following is true according to the text?
    A．Among 100 pedestrian deaths there were 21 people younger than 70.
    B．Old people are more likely to meet with accidents in crosswalks.
    C．Traffic accidents killed more old people than young people.
    D．About seven traffic accidents happened per hour.
    小题2:What is FHWA’s suggestion to states?
    A．Fixing more traffic lights.
    B．Providing more crosswalks.
    C．Giving pedestrians more time to cross streets.
    D．Increasing the time before the orange lights appear.
    小题3:What’s the cause of the crosswalk safety problem according to the test?
    A．There’re many cars and buses on the road.
    B．Pedestrians are careless.
    C．Crosswalks are crowded.
    D．Drivers don’t give way.
    小题4:The report from NHTSA suggests that             
    A．fewer people were injured in crosswalks
    B．crosswalk safety has been greatly improved
    C．much has been done to reduce traffic accidents
    D．pedestrian deaths in crosswalk remain a serious problem
