What’s the Matter with Kids Today?
Dear Michelle,
Why can’t my daughter manage her life better? She is 17 and a top student, but she seems to be wasting her life away with a boyfriend who is holding her back. He uses up every waking minute of her precious time and smooth-talk(对――花言巧语) her as well.
His goal is to get her to agree to go to the college of his choice, not her choice, and because his grades are lower, his choices will be limited.
I want to save her, but she pushes me away and shuts me out. She has only brought us pride and joy, and now this! Help!
A worried mother
Dear Mother of a 17-year-old girl,
“Hmm…. What’s the matter with kids today?” Remember that song from Bye Bye Birdie?
Well, if you do not, let me fill you in about teenagers and their life-management skills. Do not expect too much too soon because at the young age of 17, life-management is not within their reach, nor should it be. Both the conditions and the skills for life-management result from life experience, and if management goes before experience there would be little of it.
Your daughter is a top student for good reasons. She is smart and studies with intelligence and you have given
from perfection.
Michelle

Federal regulators Wednesday approved a plan to create a nationwide emergency alert (警报) system using text messages delivered to cell phones.
Text messages have exploded in popularity in recent years, particularly among young people. The wireless industry’s trade association, CTIA, estimates (估计) more than 48 billions text messages are sent each month.
The plan comes from the Warning Alter and Response Network Act, a 2006 federal law that requires improvement to the nation’s emergency alter system. The act tasked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with coming up with new ways to alter the public about emergencies.
“The ability to deliver accurate and timely warning and alters through cell phone and other mobile services is an important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public has the information they need to take action to protect themselves and their families before, and during, disasters and other emergencies,” FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said following approval of the plan.
Participation in the alter system by carriers — telecommunication companies — is voluntary, but it has received solid support from the wireless industry.
The program would be optional for cell phone users. They also may not be charged for receiving alters.
There would be three types of messages, according to the rules.
The first would be a national alter from the president, likely involving a terrorists attack or natural disaster. The second would involve “approaching threats,” which could include natural disasters like hurricanes or storms or even university shootings. The third would be reserved for child abduction (绑架)emergencies, or so-called Amber Alerts.
The service could be in place by 2010.
64. What is the purpose of the approval plan?
A. To promote the wireless industry.
B. To popularize the use of cell phone.
C. To estimate the monthly number of messages.
D. To warn people of emergencies via message.
65. The improvement to the present system is in the charge of ______.
A. federal regulators B. FCC
C. the Warning Alert and Response Network D. CTLA.
66. The carriers’ participation in the system is determined by _______.
A. the US federal government B. mobile phone users
C. the carriers themselves D. the law of the United States
67. Which of the following is true of cell phone users?
A. They may enjoy the alert service for free.
B. They must accept the alert service.
C. They must send the alerts to others.
D. They may choose the types of messages.
68. An alert message will NOT be sent if __________.
A. a natural disaster happens B. a university shooting happens
C. a child loses his way D. a terrorist attack occurs
D
There is a group of people whose numbers the British Government desperately wants to see dropping. They’re mostly in their early 20s, without jobs and not at university. They often wander the streets and are seen as a threat.
The Office for National Statistics reported on Dec, 11, 2006 that the number of young people who are not in school and not working or in training in
example, offers help to young people aged 16--25. However, the housing is often only short-term.
British politician Iain Duncan-Smith blames the breakdown of traditional families on the increasing number of unemployed or untrained young people.
In
Poor post-school vocational training programmes are also being criticized. Independent research suggests that some training programmes are a waste of time.
The New Deal, a major programme to help the unemployed young, is one example. In 1998, 61 per cent of those leaving the programme could find jobs. That number is now down to 35 per cent.
“It shows a failure of government policy. Even if you put in a large amount of money, if you haven’t got the basic policies right, you won’t get the results,” said politician David Willetts.
69. What does the underlined word “idle” probably mean in the third paragraph?
A. engaged B. unemployed C. diligent D. busy
70. How many factors are mentioned in this passage that lead to the increase of unemployment?
A. 2 B.
71. The best title for this news report might be ________.
A. Success of Government Policy
B. Vocational Training in
C. Jobless Youth Concerns
D. Job Hunting Problems

The traditional tent cities at festivals such as
Major festivals such as
Taking inspiration from a Japanese architect, who has used cardboard to make big buildings including churches, Mr Dunlop used cardboard material for his tents, which he called Myhabs.
The design won an award at the annual New Designers Exhibition after Mr Dunlop graduated from his product design degree and he decided to try to turn it into a business.
To raise money for the idea, he toured the City’s private companies which fund new businesses and found a supporter in the finance group Mint. He introduced his idea to four of Mint’s directors and won their support. Mint has committed around £500,000 to MyHab and taken a share of 30 per cent in Mr Dunlop’s business. The first Myhabs should be tested at festivals this summer, before being marketed fully next year.
Mr Dunlop said that the design, which accommodates two people, could have other uses, such as for disaster relief and housing for the London Olympics.
For music events, the cardboard houses will be ordered online and put up at the sites by the Myhab team before the festival-goers arrive and removed by the company afterwards, They can be personalized and the company will offer reductions on the expense if people agree to sell exterior(外部的) advertising space.
The biggest festivals attract tens of thousands of participants, with Glastonhury having some 150,000 each year. Altogether there are around 100 annual music festivals where people camp in the
