You do your best to keep a safe distance and wonder: Why did he or she come to work when they were ill? The reality for many Americans is that they do not have enough paid sick time each year to afford them the luxury of staying home because they don’t feel well.This problem doesn’t just affect the working employees who are sick，though. In an article by James Warren for Bloomberg Business Week, a second-grade school teacher, Stilli Klikizos shares about the sick children that must stay in school all day long because their parents can’t get offwork to come and get them. In the past school year, she had several children who were unable to be picked up at school who were later diagnosed with H1N1.There is a movement called the Healthy Families Act in Congress that would change this situation for many Americans. The Healthy Family Act would require employers with 15 or more employees to provide 7 paid sick days a year for their workers. These days could be used not only for days when the worker is sick, but the time can also be used when caring for others, or going to routine doctor’s appointments.Those who are against the Act argue that many businesses are struggling to make ends meet owing to recession (经济衰退), and point out that this is the wrong time to force employers to add an additional expense.Those who support the Healthy Families Act say that our nation can’t afford to not take these measures. When an individual goes to work sick, they are possibly infecting their coworkers, clients and customers.According to a report by Katie Couric on the CBS evening news, three fourths of low wage earners get docked(扣工资) when they are sick. Those individuals include daycare workers and restaurant workers, whose health can affect the health of many.5. Why do many Americans still come to work when they are sick?A. They often ignore the illness if not serious.B. They work in high spirits.C. The cost of staying home is great.D. The cost of medical treatment is high.6. In the article mentioned in this passage, James Warren intends to say ______.A. children need more thoughtful and considerate careB. teachers are responsible for taking good care of children at schoolC. parents shouldn’t leave the sick children at schoolD. adults’ not having enough paid sick time may be bad for children7. According to the Healthy Families Act, ______.A. all the employers are required to provide 7 paid sick days a year for their workersB. the employees can use the paid sick days to take care of their sick childrenC. the employees could demand their companies pay for their medical billsD. the employees can use the paid sick days to take a trip so as to relax themselves.8. Why are some people against the Healthy Families Act?A. Many companies’ financial situations are not so good due to the recession.B. Companies have no such duty to provide paid sick time.C. The nation can’t afford to do as the Act requires.D. Usually one’s illness won’t infect his coworkers and customers.CIf it is not only possible but even easy to predict which ten-year-old boys are at greatest risk of growing up to be persistent offenders (惯犯), what are we doing with the information? The last thing that we should do is to wait until their troubles have increased in adolescence and then attack them with the new Criminal Justice Bill.If this bill becomes law, more young people will be drawn into prisons and all the evidence shows that this worsens rather than improves their future. The introduction of short sharppunishment will simply give more young people a taste of something else they don’t need and if you want to train someone to be anti-society, "I can’t think of a better way to do it" says the writer of this report.The Cambridge Institute of Criminology comes up with five key factors that are likely to make for adolescence crimes: a low income family, a large family, parents regarded by social workers to be bad at raising children, parents who themselves have a criminal record, and low intelligence in the childhood. Of the 63 boys in the sample who had at least three of them when they were ten, half became criminals—compared with only a fifth of the sample as a whole.Three more factors make the prediction more accurate: being judged troublesome by teachers at the age of ten, having a father with at least two criminal records and having another member of the family with a criminal record. Of the 35 men who had at least two of these factors in their background, 18 became persistent offenders and 8 more were in trouble with the law.The role of the schools is recognized as extremely important. The most reliable prediction of all on the futur es of boys came from teachers’ ratings of how troublesome they were at the age of ten. If the information is there in the classroom, there must be a response that brings more attention to those troublesome children: a search for things to give them praise rather than academic achievement, a refusal to allow them to go on playing truant(旷课), and a promoting of ambition and opportunity which should start early in their school careers.9. According to the author, adolescence crimes should be dealt with ______.A. before they become adolescentsB. when they are put into prisonC. when they are in the period of adolescenceD. when the problem becomes serious10. The number of young offenders could be reduced by the way of ______.A. setting new legal systemB. helping with their academic performanceC. applying brief periods of severe punishmentD. knowing about their backgrounds11. Ten-year-old children likely to become offenders are usually______.A. spoilt children from small familiesB. bright children in a poor familyC. slow children with many brothers and sistersD. children whose parents gain wealth dishonestly12. The writer concludes that potential offenders could be helped by ______.A. making less trouble through self disciplineB. being given more encouragement at schoolC. being permitted to leave school as they likeD. stricter treatment from teachersDPsychologists have discovered that even the most independent-minded of us will conform to social pressure when we are with a group of people. In one classic experiment, people were shown a vertical（垂直的）line and asked to find a line of identical（完全相同的）length from aselection of three.You might think that this is an absurdly easy task, and when people perform it by themselves they do very well. However, psychologists have discovered that we are very easily affected by the opinions of other people when we do this task in a group. In one study, a group of three people was set up, where two of the people were confederates（同伙）of the experimenter. When the confederates deliberately gave wrong answers, people were often affected to give the wrong answer also. In fact, 75% of people gave at least one wrong answer, with some people conforming to peer pressure on every occasion.But why do people conform in this way? In an easy task like this, it seems that people do not want to step out of line with the dominant opinion of the group. On more difficult tasks, people also conform because they lose confidence in their own ability to make decisions and prefer to trust the majority opinion instead.A typical example of this kind of conformity arises when we come across people in distres s （危难）. Would you help a woman who has been attacked in the street? It turns out that you are much more likely to go to her assistance if you are alone. When other people are also around, People tend to take no action, because everyone assumes that someone else will go to the woman's assistance.13．In Paragraph 1, the underlined word “conform” probably means “”.A．seek independence B．disobey ordersC．follow what others do D．seek pleasure14．What is the purpose of the experiment described in Paragraph 2?A．To explain why would people be influenced by the opinions of others.B．To prove that people are easily influenced by the opinions of others.C．To train the confederates of the experimenter as independent minded.D．To describe how people would be influenced by the opinions of others.15．In the last paragraph, accoriding to the author, why wouldn’t one help the woman?A．He thinks he has no responsibilities to give a hand.B．He thinks he has nothing to do with it.C．He is too shy to give his helping hand.D．He thinks someone else will offer assistance.16．What method does the author mainly use to develop the text?A．Giving examples.
