17、sation with you, saying: “We have to go to work now, ”youre left feeling surprised and certainly uneasy. After all, this is the 1990s and the idea of children working is just unthinkable. That is, until you are told that they are all pupils of stage schools, and that the “work”they go off to is to g
18、o on the stage in a theatre. K$#s5uStage schools often act as agencies（代理机构）to supply children for stage and television work. More worthy of the name “stage school” are those few places where children attend full time, with a training for the theatre and a general education. A visit to such schools
19、will leave you in no doubt that the children enjoy themselves. After all, what lively children wouldnt settle for spending only half the day doing ordinary school work, and acting, singing or dancing their way through the other half of the day? Then of course there are times for the children to make
20、 a name and make a little money in some big shows. Some stage schools give their children too much professional work at such a young age. But the law is very tight on the amount they can do. Those under 13 are limited to 40 days in the year; those over 13 to 80 days. The schools themselves admit tha
21、t not all children will be successful in the profession for which they are being trained. So what happens to those who dont make it? while all the leading schools say they place great importance on children getting good study results, the facts seem to suggest this is not always the case. 36.

25、 they have reached. BShopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. He knows what he wants, and his purpose is to find it and buy it, the price is a less important consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask
26、the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it, the salesman immediately produces it, and the business of trying it on is done at once. All being well, the bargain can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyones satisfaction. For a man, slight pro
27、blems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants. Then the salesman tries to sell the customer something else-he offers the nearest he can to the thing required. He usually says, “I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it on for size? It happens to be t
28、he color you wanted. ”Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual reply is: “This is the right colour and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on. ”Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? She does so in the opposite way. She has never fully
29、 made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look round”. She is always open to persuasion, indeed she considers of great importance what the saleswoman tells her, even what her friends tell her. She will try on any number of things. Highest in her mind is the thought of finding somet
30、hing that everyone thinks suits her. Most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always trying to find an unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one counter（柜台）to another before selecting the dresses she wants
31、to try on. It takes a great deal of time but gives great joy. Most dress shops supply chairs for the waiting husbands. 40. When a man is buying clothes, he _.

A. men like their jackets to be bigger than their sizeB. most men can tell whether it is the right size for them K$#s5uC. men make sure it fits them before bu
33、ying it D. men dont worry whether the clothes fit well or not so long as it is the right colour42. When a man cannot get what he wants, he _. A. buys something of the same colour in a slightly different style B. usually does not buy anythingC. will try on some other clothes of the same style D. wast
34、es time in buying something else 43. What does the passage tell us about women shoppers for clothes? A. They welcome suggestions from anyone. B. Women seldom consider buying cheap clothes. C.

36、eople listen. His big, deep voice rumbles out of radios and juke-boxes across North America. His records sell by the million. Country-music fans everywhere, know his big hits. They love songs like “Hey Porter“, “Ring of Fire“, and “Folsom Prison Blue“.Johnny Cash sings about a hundred concerts a yea
37、r. People like what they hear-and what they see, too. Rugged and big-shouldered, the singer stands six-two without his black boots on. Hes a two-hundred-pound package of muscle and talent. And that scar on his cheek? Its a bullet(子弹)hole, of course!In the minds of most people, Johnny Cash is “Mr Tou
38、gh( violent) Guy“. Hes an ex-drug addict who was once put in prison. His grandmother was an Indian. To keep from starving he once had to live on wild rabbits killed from forty feet away with a knife. Some people say he even killed a man.In fact, most of the Johnny Cash story is just that-a story. Tr
39、ue, years ago he had a “drug habit “for a short time. He “popped“ pills. But he never used heroin or other “hard “drugs. Sometimes hed go wild and get locked up for a few hours. But he never served a prison sentence.Theres no Indian blood in his veins. Hes been a killer only in song. As for the “bul
40、let hole“, its an old scar left by a doctor who opened a cyst(囊肿).People who know Johnny Cash well say hes a “gentle guy“, a “generous guy-anything but a “tough guy“. How did the stories get started? Some of them, like the story about the “Indian grandmother“, he made up long ago to add excitement t
41、o his career. Others, like the “bullet hole“ , simply got started. Now theres little the singer can do to change peoples minds. “They just want to believe it,“ he says.45.

43、 they are sure is trueC. only what they hear D. what they find interestingDFor many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line betw
44、een what I control and what you do?Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it . From the parents point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents complete unr
45、easonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way , except oppositely . Both feel trapped.In this article, Ill describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over u
46、nimportant things. Examples include the color of the teens hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the childs failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming, the goal of a blaming battle is to make th
47、e other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right, It doesnt matter what the topic is politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for
48、both wish to be considered an authority - someone who actually knows something - and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, theyll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress. 48. Why does the author compare the parentteen war to a border conflict?A. both can continue for generations.B. Both are about where to draw the line C. Neither has any clear winner D.
