第三部分：阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
If you want to teach your children how to say sorry, you must be good at saying it yourself, especially to your own children. But how you say it can be quite tricky. If you say to your children “I’m sorry I got angry with you, but…” what follows that “but” can render the apology ineffective:” I had a bad day” or “your noise was giving me a headache” leaves the person who has been inured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior in expecting an apology.
Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say “I’m sorry you’re upset”; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing(承认) yourself to get upset by what the other person has done.
Then there is the general, all covering apology, which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific act that was particularly hurtful or insulting, and which the person who is apologizing should promise never to do again. Saying “I’m useless as a parent” does not commit a person to any specific improvement.
These pseudo-apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness, Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength, and therefore not resort(求助) to these pseudo-apologies.
But even when presented with examples of genuine(真正的) contrition(悔悟), children still need help to become a ware of the complexities(复杂性) of saying sorry. A three-year-old might need help in understanding that other children feel pain just as he does, and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology. A six-year-old might need reminding that spoiling other children’s expectations can require an apology. A 12 year-old might need to be shown that raiding(搜捕) the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowing a parent’s clothes without permission is not.
56．If a mother adds “but” to an apology, ___________.
A．she doesn’t feel that she should have apologized.
B．she does not realize that the child has been hurt
C．the child may find the apology easier to accept
D．the child may feel that he owes her an apology
57．According to the author, saying “I’m sorry you’re upset” most probably means “_____”
A．You have good reason to get upset
B．I’m aware you’re upset, but I’m not to blame
C．I apologize for hurting your feelings
D．I’m at fault for making you upset
58．We learn from the last paragraph that in teaching children to say sorry _______.
A．the complexities involved should be ignored
B．their ages should be taken into account
C．parents need to set them a good example
D．parents should be patient and tolerant
59．It can be inferred from the passage that apologizing properly is ________.
A．a social issue calling for immediate attention
B．not necessary among family members
C．a sign of social progress
D．not as simple as it seems
B
Visiting U.S. President George W. Bush said in Beijing Friday that both China and the United States should encourage bilateral(双边的) contacts and exchanges to promote mutual(相互) understanding.
“It’s important for our political leaders to come to China,” said Bush, who gave a speech Friday morning at Qinghua University, one of the most prestigious universities in China.
His working visit to China and discussions with Qinghua students “help promote” Sino-U.S.(中美) relations, Bush said in response to a student’s question about what he would do to promote Sino-U.S. relations.
“Many people in my country are very interested in China,” he said, adding that these Americans have learned more about China’s culture and the Chinese people.
He said that he would keep encouraging such contracts and exchanges between the two countries.
Bush said that he would describe back home what he has seen here and that China as a great nation not only has a “great history” but also an “unbelievably exciting future.”
The president said that the 2008 Olympic Games would make a significant opportunity for the rest of the world to understand China, which enables more people to come to China and feel the modernization taking place, and many more people will see it on the television.
Bush arrived in Beijing Thursday for a two-day working visit to China.

A．great B．famous C．honorable D．modest

Consumers are being confused and misled by the hodge-podge(大杂烩) of environmental claims made by household products, according to a “green labeling” study published by Consumers International Friday.
Among the report’s more outrageous(令人无法容忍的) findings-a German fertilizer(化肥) described itself as “earthworm friendly”, a brand of flour said it was “non-polluting” and a British toilet paper claimed to be environmentally friendlier”
The study was written and researched by Britain’s National Consumer Council (NCC) for lobby group Consumer International. It was funded(拨款) by the German and Dutch governments and the European Commission.
“While many good and useful claims are being made, it is clear there is a long way to go in ensuring shoppers are adequately informed about the environmental impact of products they buy,” said Consumers International director Anna Fielder.
The 10-country study surveyed product packaging in Britain. Western Europe. Scandinavia and the United States. It found that products sold in Germany and the United Kingdom made the most environmental claims on average.
The report focused on claims made by specific products, such as detergent(洗涤剂) insect sprays(刹虫剂) and by some garden products. It did not test the claims, but compared them to labeling guidelines(指导方针) set by the International Standards Organization (ISO) in September, 1999.
Researchers documented claims of environmental friendliness made by about 2,000 products and found many too vague(含糊地) or too misleading to meet ISO standards.
“Many products had specially-designed labels to make them seem environmentally friendly, but in fact many of these symbols mean nothing,” said report researcher Philip Page.
“Laundry detergents made the most number of claims with 158. household cleaners were second with 145 separate claims, while paints were third on our list with 73. The high numbers show how very confusing it must be for consumers to sort the true from the misleading.” he said.
The ISO labeling standards ban vague or misleading claims on product packaging, because terms such as “environmentally friendly” and “non-polluting” cannot be verified(证实). “What we are now pushing for is to have multinational corporations meet the standards set by the ISO.” said Page.
64．According to the passage, the NCC found it outrageous that _________.
A．all the products surveyed claim to meet ISO standards
B．the claims made by products are often unclear or deceiving
C．consumers would believe many of the manufactures’ claim
D．few products actually prove to the environment friendly
65．As indicated in this passage, with so many good claims, the consumers ________
A．are becoming more cautious about the products they are going to buy
B．are still not willing to pay more for products with green labeling
C．are becoming more aware of the effects different products have on the environment
D．still do not know the exact impact of different products on the environment
66．A study was carried out by Britain’s NCC to _________.
A．find out how many claims made by products fail to meet environmental standards
B．inform the consumers of the environmental impact of the products they buy
C．examine claims made by products against ISO standards
D．revise(修正) the guidelines set by the International Standards Organization
67．It can be inferred from the passage that the lobby group Consumer International wants to ____.
A．make product labeling satisfy ISO requirements
B．see all household products meet environmental standards
C．warn consumers of the danger of so-called green products
D．verify the efforts of non-polluting products
