My 17-year-old daughter went off to college and having her away from home brought back memories of watching Peter Pan when she was little. In the classic TV production, one scene in particular impressed me: when Mrs. Darling puts her children into bed. As she turns off the last of the night light, she takes one last look at the bedroom and says, “Dear night lights, protect my sleeping children.” As a mother, I know how much she loves her children.
It has been several weeks since we took our daughter to college and she seems to be adjusting well after a short period of homesickness. For us, though, it’s another story. Like most parents, I love checking in on my children at night. But now she’s gone, and I find nighttimes the hardest. I miss her most at night.
In my neighborhood, most of the parents whose kids are off to college are dealing with similar melancholy. My husband is filled with anxiety. One friend talked about getting this sick feeling in her stomach as she prepared for the college drop-off. We complained that many of us were too busy to truly enjoy being with our children while we had them.
For us moms, seeing Toy Story 3 only made the sadness worse as we watched the character Andy, who is the same age as our kids, say goodbye to his childhood as he prepares to leave for college. And it’s not just “first-time” parents like me. Two moms who have kids already well into college said the separation didn’t get any easier. “You feel like something has been taken away from inside you” said one of them.
I imagine things will get easier with time, especially as I see my daughter adjust to college life. Meanwhile, as I keep my cell phone close to me in bed and text my daughter goodnight and sweet dreams every night, I like to think that messages serve as a night light that keeps her safe.
1.The writer was deeply impressed by the scene in Peter Pan because ________.
A. she watched the scene with her daughter
B. the scene was very exciting and interesting
C. the scene taught her and her daughter a good lesson
D. the scene showed a mother’s deep love for her children
2.After her daughter went to college, the writer ________.
A. realized she hadn’t done enough for her daughter
B. often cried as she missed her daughter so much
C. failed to have a good sleep every night
D. didn’t get used to the change for a long time
3.What is the underlined word “melancholy” in Paragraph 3 similar in meaning to?
A. Happiness. B. Sadness.
C. Excitement. D. Anger.
4.According to the last paragraph, why did the writer keep her cell phone close to her in bed?
A. To say good night to her daughter.
B. To wait for her daughter’s calls.
C. To wait for her daughter’s messages.
D. To call her daughter any time.

LONDON—Life for Cathy Hagner and her three children is set to permanent(永久的) fast-forward.
Their full school day and her job as a lawyer's assistant are busy enough. But Hagner also has to take the two boys to soccer or hockey or basketball while dropping off her daughter at piano lessons or Girl Scout Club.
Often, the exhausted family doesn't get home until 7 pm. There is just time for a quick supper before homework. In today's world, middle-class American and British parents treat their children as if they are competitors racing for some finishing line.
Parents take their children from activity to activity in order to make their future bright. It seems that raising a genius has become a more important goal than raising a happy and well-balanced child.
"Doctors across the country are reporting a growing number of children suffering from stomachaches and headaches due to exhaustion and stress," says child expert William Doherty of the University of Minnesota.
Teachers are dealing with exhausted kids in the classroom. It's a very serious problem. Many children attend after-school clubs by necessity. But competitive pressures also create an explosion of activities. They include sports, language, music and math classes for children as young as four.
"There is a new parenting trend under way which says that you have to tap all your child's potential at a young age; otherwise you will let him down,” says Terry Alter, a Cambridge-based child and adolescent psychiatrist (青少年精神病专家)
"It isn't entirely new: there have always been pushy parents. But what was previously seen as strange behaviour is now well accepted."
1.From the second paragraph of this passage we can find that ______.
A.Hagner wastes much time helping her children's lessons |
B.Hagner doesn't spend much time on her full-time job |
C.Hagner is interested in spots and music |
D.Hagner busies herself by following a trend |
2.British parents, as the writer described in this passage, _____.
A.treat their children as spots players |
B.pay no attention to their children's lessons |
C.bring up their children in a simple way |
D.give their children little time to develop freely |
3.The writer's opinion about after-school clubs is that ______.
A.activities in the country are too competitive |
B.children should attend four clubs at a time |
C.some clubs result in competitive pressures |
D.clubs should have more subjects for school children |
4.The last paragraph tells us that in Britain ______.
A.parents used to take their children to every club |
B.parents used to be wise on how to raise children |
C.parents have all benefited from children's clubs |
D.parents have come to know the standard of education |

I am trying to muster (鼓起) the courage to toss away my mobile phone to enjoy a more peaceful and ringfree life.
Can you imagine not having your mobile phone? In our hightech, inahurry age, a cellfree life is a hard concept to swallow. Our mobile phones can now access the Internet, and many people feel the need to express their every thought on their blog pages. If I gave up my cellphone, people would think I was mad.
I wish I had the strength to toss away my technology. I have an office phone, a home phone,an email and if people want to contact me, they can. If I’m out,people can leave a message. Do they really need to find me 24/7?However, I’m a bit like Frodo in the movie Lord of the Rings. The power of the ring is too strong and I can’t let it go.
Mobile phones have become necessary tools in our busy life. For most people, they hold all contacts and many of us don’t write up address books any more. The latest phones carry our music, pictures, movies and everything else. We feel lost without this device and when we do misplace it, we feel cut off from our fellow.
“Where have you been?” said a friend, who saw me a week after I lost my cellphone, “I tried calling you, but you disappeared. You disappeared off the face of the Earth.” See, when you don’t have a mobile phone, you don’t exist.
I’m not really going to toss my mobile phone away, in fact. We humans are such social animals and mobile phones serve us well. So in 2009, I’ve decided not to serve my mobile phone. Like all machines, I can always turn it off.
61. 1. What does the underlined phrase “toss away” mean?
A. give away B. get away C. break away D. throw away
62. 2.The writer mentions Frodo to________.
A. show it is difficult to get rid of the mobile phone
B. show how much he likes Frodo
C. suggest a cellfree life is what he wants
D. introduce a film character to us
63. 3.What do we know about mobile phones in the 4th paragraph?
A. Mobile phones can do anything for us.
B. Mobile phones have become very important in our life.
C. We could not live without mobile phones.
D. We would be cut off by our fellow without mobile phones.
64. 4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The writer is not really going to toss his mobile phone away.
B. When you don’t have a mobile phone,you don’t exist.
C. The writer decides not to serve his mobile phone.
D. We humans can control ourselves and machines.
