Teens don’t understand the big fass （小题大做）.As the first generation to grow up in a wired world,they hardly know a time when computers weren’t around, and they cagerly eatch the chance to spend hours online, chatting with friends,So what?
But researchers nationwide are increasingly worried that teens are becoming isolated（孤寂）,less skillful at person-to-person relationships, and perhaps numb （麻木） to the chcatings that are so much a part of the e-mail world.“And a tenn’s sense of self and values may be changed in a world where personal connections can be limitless,”said shetty Turklt.
Another resarcher, Pobert Kraut, said he’s worried about the“opportunity costs”（机会成本） of so much online time for youths. He found that teens who used computers,even just a few hours a week, showed incrcased signs of loneliness and socol isolation.“Chatting onine may be better than watching television, but it’s worse than hanging out （闲逛）with real friends,”he said.
Today’s teens, however,don’t see anything strange in the fact that the computer takes up a central place in their social lives,“School is busy and full of pressurs. There’s almost no time to just hang out.”said Parker Rice, 17. “Talking online is just catch up time.”
Teens say they feel good about what they say online or taking the time to think about a reply. Some teens admit that asking someone for a date, or breaking up, can be easier in message form,though they don’t want to do so. But they insist there’s no harm.
53．The researchers argue that .
A．teens may develop a different sense of values
B．nothing is wrong with teens’chatting online
C．teens can manage their social connections
D．spending hours online does much good to teens

Lest year more than one million Filipinos worked abroad as servants, nurses,sailors and in other difficult but low paid jobs. Southeast Asians leave their poorer countries for their richer neighbours.
Many of these wage earners return in the end. In the meantime, they send home huge amounts of money-in the Philippines’ case, over 10% of its GDP. Between January and November, the amount was up 18% on the same period of 2005, Poverty and unemployment are still bigh in the Philippines and other labour exporring（劳务输出）countries. They would be far worse but for this outflow of bodies and inflow of doflars As for those Asian countries that inport （输入）labour,as in Europe, falling birth rates mean they are going to need more foreign workers.
On Jamuary 13th leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations（ASEAN）signed an agreement to help migrant（流动的）workers-with the realization that the flow of labour between their countries is a growing problem that they cannot blame on outsiders. A 2005 study showed that 8.4 million Southeast Asians worked outside their home countries, but this did not include the huge numbers of Indonesians doing so without papers. So the true total is probably rather higher.
Of the ten ASEAN countries, the Philippines,Indonesia, Myanmar,Carnbodia,Victram and Lacs export labour, Singapore and Brunci import it, and Thailand and Malaysia do both. Sriracaki of the UN’s Internstional Labour Organiztion points out that,in the next ten years,the total labour foree of the worker expotting countries should grow by about a third. It makes semse to work on the problem before it gets out of control.
People in the receiving countries seem to be worried about competition for their jobs.Most Thais said theit government should admit （准入） no more foreign workers, and a few thought otherwise. Even in Singapore,just over ball of people are against adunitting more foreign workers. Malaysians think that the incrcase in foreign workers has worsened crime rates（犯罪率）.
57．It can be inferred from the case of the Philippines that .
A．the country is Asla’s main source of migrant workets
B．labour exparts lend to a 10% growth of its GDP
C．the outflow of lend to helps solve its social probiems
D．the country Both exports and imports labour force
58．The flow of labour is a growing problem because .
A．there is a greater flow of labour than reported
B．more Indonesians work abroad without papers
C．some countries suffer from low birth rates
D．the ASEAN is against admitting foreign workers
59．For the labour importing countries, the flow of labour may lead to .
A．higher birth rates B．lower crime rates
C．greater money inflows D．stronger job competition
60．The writer of the text seems to .
A．support the flow of labour between countries
B．report fairly on the question of labour flow
C．express his worries over the ASEAN’s decision
D．regard the outflow of labour as a serious problem

（三）书面表达（满分30分）
提纲：
第1段：Lora利用暑假打工的理由
第2段：Lora父母不同意的理由
第3段：你给Lora的具体建议
I think that Lora wants to work part-time for these reasons. First,she can make some pocket money to meet pet daily needs and thus develop a sense of independenca. Second. she can learn how to deal with various problems in the workplace. Third,she can build up new friendships and improve bet social skills.
But her parents may regard learning as an increasingly important task for Lora. This holiday should be a catch-up time for independent study. Besides,personal safety may also be one of their maior considerations.
My advice for Lora is this：make a detailed plan for her study and work；ask her friends to work together with her, and tell her parents that she ean manage things properly. I wish Lora a pleasant summer.
