Directions: Renumber the sentences given below to arrange them in what you think is the best order. The first two sentences of the original paragraph are given below. When most people sign on to their computers, they are greeted with a flood of get-rich-quick schemes, invitations to pornographic Web sites, and ads for a variety of unwanted products. The third and best category of e-mail is genuine personal e-mail from genuine personal friends. E-mail users quickly become good at hitting the “delete” button to get rid of this garbage. The second category that clogs most people’s electronic mailbox is forwarded mail, most of which also gets deleted without being read. Getting such real, thoughtful e-mail can almost make up for the irritation of the other two categories. As more and more people take advantage of e-mailing, three categories of e-mail have emerged. One category of e-mail is junk mail.

A、make children become mature

B、motivate their trust and friendship

Section D Directions: Read the following text about children’s curiosity. For questions 41-45, choose the answer (A, B, C or D) which you think fits best according to the text. The Changing Relationship Between Parents and Children Parents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends. Is this a good thing? Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager. Music was not the only gap. From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits. Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago. Now they are comfortable and common. And parent-child activities, from shopping to sports, involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood. No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, “To my mother, my best friend.” But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents. “There’s still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening,” says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College. “In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents.” Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say. “My parents were on the ‘before’ side of that change, but today’s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the ‘after’ side,” explains Mr. Ballmer. “It’s not something easily accomplished by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.” 41.

A、have different interests
