Do You Agree that Rock Is the Music of Teenage Rebellion ?
Rock music began in America in the late 1950’s . It was not only a new musical form , but a forum for the American youth to express their ideas of the world and life .
Music expressed its times . Rock music was a sociological expression rather than a musical force . It embodied the frustrated teenage spirit of the 1950s. At that time young people might be dissatisfied with the society or
they had some hatred toward the adult world , but they could not protest it openly . So they would use music as an outlet . Then they could get some balance in their minds .
Another aspect is that the young people could make their ideas and beliefs known to the world through music . By music , they could show their felling and dreams . So all in all , young people combined invention and exaggeration ,reason and motion , word and sound , music and politics as a whole .

The American young people in 1960’s were a ge neration of rebellion . They found that the affluent American society was filled with poverty , injustice and gypocrisy .

responsibilities and lived a parasitic way of life . Or they escaped to the frontiers and lived a primitive way of life .
G. Write a short passage of 150-200 words in English on the topic “My Comment on the Fourth Choice .”You should c over the following points : !.what the fourth choice is ;
2.What you agree on with the author and reasons for your agreement ;
3.What you disagree on with the author , if any , and your explanation .
My Comment on the Fourth Choice
The fourth comment is to change the world gradually , one clod at a time . Maybe at the first glance it is not inviting . It lacks glamour . It has no quick result . It demands patience . It depends on the exasperating and uncertain instruments of persuasion and democratic decision making .
I think the author is right . Reforming the world is a little like fighting a military campaign in the Apennines , as soon as you capture one mountain range, another one looms just ahead . The problems are the same , too. Once some problems are brought under some kind of rough control , new problems take place . So we can’t solve all the problems at a time . We have to deal with one problem each time and change the world gradually and steadily . So problems can be handled in the same way that hard problems have been coped with before –piecemeal , pragmatically ,by the dogged efforts of many people . so I think in this particular time and place the fourth
choice offers a better chance for remedying some of the world ‘s outrages than any other available starategy .

Comment on the Doctor’s Behavior
After the doctor arrived at the girl’s home , he wanted to see her throat . As there had been a number of cases of diphtheria in the school to which the girl went during that month , the doctor also thought that of the girl . So he smiled to the girl and asked her to open her mouth and let him have a look
at her throat . No matter how the doctor coaxed , the girl shut her mouth firmly .
Thinking that the girl might have diphtheria and possibly die of it , the doctor decided to use force to open her mouth . He had seen at least two children lying dead in bed of neglect in such cases . He felt that he must get a diagnosis now . So he grasped the girl’s head with his left hand and tried to get the wooden tongue depressor between her teeth . But when the doctor got the wooden spatula behind her last teeth . She gripped the blade between her molars and reduced it to splinters . In the final unreasoning assault the doctor outerpowered the girl . He forced the heavy silver spoon back of her teeth and down her throat till she gagged . Her both tonsils were covered with membrane.
From that the doctor had done , I thought he was a responsible person . In order to save the lives of the patients , especially those children who did not know how to co-operate with the doctor ,he had to take some measure . Otherwise a good or suitable time of treatment would be missed .

7.Why did the author say that West Germany will not be able to legalize any form of euthanasia for a long time to come ?

Key A
1.Yes, it is .
2.Because they could rarely discuss euthanasia openly with patients and voluntary euthanasia was taboo , the doctor had to make the decision himself .

4.“Living will “is a will made by a person when he is living that he does not want life prolonged when he is dying .
5.Yes , he did .
No, they didn’t .
The author wanted to explain that when in ancient Greece doctors and thinkers had the courage to disagree with Hippocrates , we should support euthanasia today .
