5、.Because they want to quit smoking and still keep fit. Because they want to walking an extra mile a day to lose some weight.Because they want to keep fit without having to quit smoking.BA certain amount of controversy has been caused by the publication of a new report by a team of educationalists he
6、aded by Pro. B. J. Smith. The report claims to have statistical evidence that children who attend a number of different schools through their parents having to move around the country are more than normally vulnerable to a vicious cycle of low academic achievement. There are also indications, says P
7、rofessor Smith, of an unusually high rate of psychological dismay among such children.The professor, who has long suspected that the effect on children whose parents travel to different parts of the country in search of work has not been sufficiently researched, stresses that this is not merely an e
8、xpression of prejudice. “We are not dealing here with opinions,” he says, “Its true, my personal feeling is that for childrens well-being, they should stay in one school. However, our findings are based on research and not on any personal attitudes that I or my colleagues may have on the subject.”Ca
9、pt. Thomas Muller, an Army lecturer for the past 20 years and himself a father of two, said, “Ive never heard such rubbish. As far as Im concerned, absolutely no harm is done to the education of children who change schools regularly as long as they keep to the same system as in our Army school. In m
10、y experience and Ive known quite a few of them Army children are as well-adjusted as any others, if not more so. What the Professor doesnt appear to appreciate is the fact that in such situations children will adapt much better than adults.”When this was put to Professor Smith, he said that at no ti
11、me had his team suggested that all such children were backward or dismayed in some way, but simply that in their experience there was a clear tendency.“Our findings indicate that while the extremely bright child can cope with regular emotional turbulence without harming his or her general academic p
12、rogress, the majority of children suffer from constantly having to enter a new learning environment.”6. What does Professor Smiths report suggest?Children shouldnt change schools too often. Children who have to move around the country are better at academic achievement.Children attending many school
13、s have caused a certain amount of controversy.Children who attend different schools are more vulnerable to vicious diseases.7. What does Professor Smith think of the findings of the research?They are proved by the research. They are just based on his personal feeling.They may merely be an expression
14、 of prejudice.They are based on personal attitudes.8. What does Capt. Thomas Muller think of children who change schools regularly?They can actually deal with the new environment better than adults. They do no harm to the education.They find it difficult to keep to the same system.They are generally
15、 ill-adjusted.9. How does Professor Smith defend himself again Capt. Thomas Muller?He suggests that children having regular emotional turbulence do not harm their academic progress.He argues that only a few children will suffer from changing schools regularly.He stresses that the majority of childre
16、n tend to suffer from constantly adapting to a new learning environment. He believes that extremely bright child likes to enter a new learning environment.10. What does the passage mainly talk about?How army children get used to a new learning environment.Whether children would be affected by changi
17、ng schools regularly. The procedure Professor Smith followed to conduct a study.The opinions people have about children who often change schools.Recently there has been a tendency to sympathize with thieves whose operations have been carried out on a grand scale, and no attempt whatever has been mad
18、e to hold them responsible. Some of the most thievish (像窃贼的) transactions have flourished and are still flourishing. Their success and their wealth are the only things recognized. They are honored as financiers and men of affairs, looked up to and respected.In reality they are nothing more and nothi
19、ng less than a lot of merciless and heartless thieves. Fraud is fraud and cheating is cheating despite the artistic manner in which it is committed or the size of the scale upon which it is operated.It is time these men were classed properly and placed where they rightly belong, for they are no bett
20、er than the miserable sneak-thief who steals a penny from a blind mans dog.For the past two or three years working people who have made sacrifices to save a few pennies have been cheated most unmercifully. Their hard-earned savings have been stolen from them by every possible scheme from the obvious
21、 looting (打劫) of a bank to the higher and more artistic method of legalized high risk, complex financial products. Men high up in the financial world have lent their names to some of the most shady and notorious schemes that ever dishonored a community or a people. Because of this the most diligent
22、and economical (节俭的) American people have been induced to place their hard-earned and carefully guarded savings in what they were led to believe was a safe investment, only to find out when too late that they had fallen into the hands of a gang of extremely respectable cheats. They cannot recover wh
23、at they have lost.The thief is too powerful to be affected by the law while the victim is too weak to put its machinery in motion. It may be that the law is defective, or it may be that those having its machinery in charge are influenced by the wealth of the transgressors (违犯者). Whatever or whichever it is that is responsible ought to be investigated and the evil remedied.11. What does the tendency mentioned in the first paragraph reflect?People encourage some of the most thievish transactions to flourish.People only respect success and wealth without any moral judgmen
