Fires no longer destroy 18,000 buildings as they did in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, or kill half a town of 2,400 people, as they di
9、d the same night in Peshtigo, Wisconsin. Other than the Beverly Hill Supper Club fire in Kentucky in 1977, it has been four decades since more than 100 Americans died in a fire. But even with such successes, the United States still has one of the worst fire death rates in the world. Safety experts s
10、ay the problem is neither money nor technology, but the indifference(无所谓) of a country that just will not take fires seriously enough. American fire departments are some of the worlds fastest and best-equipped. They have to be. The United States has twice Japans population, and 40 times as many fire
11、s. It spends far less on preventing fires than on fighting them. And American fire -safety lessons are aimed almost entirely at children, who die in large numbers in fires but who, against popular beliefs, start very few of them. Experts say the error is an opinion that fires are not really anyones
12、fault. That is not so in other countries, where both public education and the law treat fires as either a personal failing or a crime. Japan has many wood houses; of the 48 fires in world history that burned more than 10,000 buildings, Japan has had 27. Punishment for causing a big fire can be as se
13、vere as life imprisonment. In the United States, most education dollars are spent in elementary schools. But, the lessons are aimed at too limited a number of people; just 9 percent of all fire deaths are caused by children playing with matches. The United States continues to depend more on technolo
14、gy than laws or social pressure. There are smoke detectors in 85 percent of all homes. Some local building laws now require home sprinklers (喷水装置). New heaters and irons shut themselves off if they are tipped. 21The reason why so many Americans die in fires is that _. A. they took no interest in new
15、 technology B. they did not pay great attention to preventing fires C. they showed indifference to fighting fires D. they did not spend enough money on fire equipment 22It can be inferred from the passage that_. A. fire safety lessons should not be aimed only at American children B. American childre
16、n have not received enough education of fire safety lessons C. Japan is better equipped with fire equipment than the United States D. Americas large population leads to more fires 23Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. There has been no great fire in the USA in rece
17、nt 40 years that leads to high death rate. B. There have been several great fires in the USA in recent 40 years that lead to high death rate. C. There has been only one great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that led to high death rate. D. The fire in Kentucky in 1977 made only a few people killed
18、. The Internet can be a great way to connect with people. The latest web craze is social networking on websites such as MySpace. More than 65 million young people use online social networking sites.That cyberspace(网络空间)trend is causing problems in school, however. In a recent survey, nearly 36 perce
19、nt of school administrators said that social networking sites troubled learning in their districts. Should school districts ban sites like MySpace?Teachers are worried that some students use social networking to post personal information and to cyber bully(恐吓)other students. One of the biggest dange
20、rs comes from people who find out kids personal information.Many districts have blocked students from accessing or using social networking sites from school computers, and some have suspended(暂缓)students for posting harmful material on those sites from their home computers. Nearly two-thirds of US k
21、ids have computers in their homes, according to the US Census Bureau.“It is important to keep in mind that just blocking access to social web sites at school is not the end of the story,” warns NSBA executive director Anne Bryant, “Most of the misuse of these sites takes place at home but still affe
22、cts the classroom.”Some educators arent as quick to pull the plug on social networking. They say the main problem with sites like MySpace is that students dont understand the dangers involved in using them. “Many students are posting personal information about themselves without regard to who has ac
23、cess to that information,” Jim Hirsch said, “Schools should focus on educating their students and their parents on how to be safe online.”Experts argue that too many schools are forbidding students to use social networking web sites without thinking about their educational benefits. “Social networki
24、ng web sites can help connect students in the United States to their peers in other countries, providing invaluable lessons in foreign cultures,” explains Hirsch.24Where do students usually misuse social networking sites?A. At the teachers office. B. At the net bar.C. At the classroom. D. At home.25
25、The underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 may mean _.A. some educators are in favor of students using social networking sitesB. some educators cant block students from accessing social networking sitesC. some educators cant connect social networking sites easilyD. some educators find it difficult to cl

28、rsation, but babies are proving their collective cleverness.While your baby still might not be able to speak, he or she knows about youre feeling down. Babies as young as 5 months of age can distinguish an exciting tune from a sad one, according to a study published in 2014 in the journal Neuron. Sp
29、eaking of music, it seems that babies cant resist it. Not only are their ears sensitive to the beats, babies can actually dance in time to them, according to a study published in 2010. To test their dancing ability, the researchers played recordings of classical music and speech to them, and videotaped the results. The babies moved their arms, hands, legs, feet, and heads much more in response to the music than to speech. The findings suggest this dancing ability is innate(天生的) in humans. Babies can apparently le
