Detective Keeling took his client — a good-looking lady into the back yard of the store together. The lady opened a door in the wall and they entered the small room behind the store. They crossed the room to a locked door.

Mr. Keeling took some special keys from his pocket. Moments later, one of the keys unlocked the door. The lady went into the store. She said she would hide under the table to keep watch on her husband. Mr. Keeling did not follow her.

The detective went quickly to the policeman?s house. Then the two men hurried to the jewellery store. They looked through the window. The policeman was surprised. He spoke to Mr. Keeling. “I don?t understand. You told me, …Robbins took a young woman to a restaurant.? Where is she?”

Bad teeth can be painful -- and worse. They can even be deadly. Infections (感染) of the gums (牙龈) and the teeth can cause bacteria (细菌) to go into the blood system. Those bacteria can increase the chance of a heart attack and worsen the effects of other diseases. And adults are not the only ones at risk.

For example, in 2007, doctors in the Washington area said a boy died when a tooth infection spread to his brain. They said it might have been prevented had he received the dental care (牙齿保健) he needed. He was twelve years old.

Experts at the National Institutes of Health say good dental care starts at birth. Breast milk, they say, is the best food for the healthy development of teeth. Breast milk can help slow the growth of bacteria and acid production in the mouth.

But dentists say a baby's gums and early teeth should be cleaned after each feeding. Use a cloth with a little warm water. Do the same if a baby is fed with a bottle. Experts say if you decide to put your baby to sleep with a bottle, only give the child water.

When baby teeth begin to appear, you can clean them with a wet toothbrush. Dentists say it is important to find soft toothbrushes made especially for babies and to use them very gently.

The use of fluoride (氟化物) to protect teeth is common in many parts of the world. For example, it is often added to drinking water supplies. The fluoride mixes with enamel (珐琅质) , the hard surface on teeth, to help prevent holes from forming.

63. Which of the following can be used as the title of the passage?

A. Concerns for Healthy Teeth of the Young

B. Importance of Healthy Teeth of All

C. Causes of Teeth Problem

D. Solutions to Teeth Problem

64. What's the main idea of paragraph 4 and 5?

A. How to develop babies' teeth.

B. Why to protect babies' teeth

C. How to keep babies' teeth clean

D. Why to keep babies' teeth clean

65. The passage indicates that ______.

A. Enamel is most widely used to protect teeth in the world

B. Bad teeth may affect the health of adults and the young

C. Breast milk can cure babies' bad teeth

D. Babies' teeth should be brushed once per day

66. The writer uses the boy's death as an example to show that ______.

A. not only adults but the young may suffer from teeth problem

B. babies with bad teeth can easily die

C. the doctors should be responsible for the case

D. the boy was not fed with his breast milk

Text messaging is a surprisingly good way to receive candid responses to sensitive questions, according to a new study to be presented this week at the annual meeting of the American Association for Public Opinion Research. “The preliminary（初步的）results of our study suggest that people are more likely t o disclose sensitive information via text messages than in voice interviews,” says Fred Conrad, a psychologist at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research.

“This is sort of surprising,” says Conrad, “since many people thought that texting would decrease the likelihood of disclosing sensitive information because it creates a persistent, visual record of questions and answers that others might see on your phone and in the cloud.”

With text, the researchers also found that people were less li kely to engage in “satisficing”--- a survey industry term refe rring to the common practice of giving good enough, easy answers. “We believe people give more precise answers via texting because there's just not the time pressure in a largely asynchronous（非同步的）mode like text that there is in phone interviews, ” says Conrad. “As a result, respondents are able to take longer to arrive at more accurate answers.”

Conrad conducted the study with Michael Schober, a professor of psychology at the New School for Social Research. “We're in the early stages of analyzing our findings,” says Schober. “But so far it seems that texting may reduce some respondents' tendency to shade the truth or to present themselves in the best possible light in an interview, even when they know it's a human interviewer they are communicating with via text. What we cannot yet be sure of is who is most likely to be frank in text. Is it different for frequent texters, or generational, for example? ”

For the study, the researchers recruited approximately 600 iPhone-users through Google Ads, offering them iTunes Store rewards to participate in the study. Their goals were to see whether responses to the same questions differed depending on several variables: whether the questions were asked via text or voice, whether a human or a computer asked the questions, and whether the environment, including the presence of other people and the likelihood of multitasking, affected the answers.

67. The underlined word “candid” in Para.1 probably means _______.

A. straightforward

B. appropriate

C. ambiguous

D. objective

68. We can learn from the passage that_______.

A. people fond of text messaging are more honest

B. texting will give away less sensitive information

C. different variables might affect the responses of messaging

D. about 600 iPhone users have been awarded iTunes by researchers

69. Compared with phone interviews, texting has the strength that people could_______.

A. present their best to the interviewers

B. have more time to make a reply

C. pay less for sending a message

D. enjoy more freedom of speech

70. Which is the best title for the passage?

A. Texting Downs Responses

B. Texting Exposes Identity

C. Texting Benefits Interviewees

D. Texting Ups Truthfulness

Back to School: Why Grit(毅力) Is More Important than Good Grades?

The back-to-school season is upon us, and once again, parents across the country have loaded their kids? backpacks up with snack packs and school supplies. It?s a good moment to reflect on what else we should be giving our kids as they head off to school.

American parents are feeling particularly anxious about that question this year. The educational process feels more than ever like a race, one that starts in pre-preschool and doesn?t e nd until your child is admitted to the perfect college. Most parents are more worried than they need to be about their children?s grades, test scores and IQ. And what we don?t think about enough is how to help our children build their character—how to help them develop skills like perseverance, grit, optimism, conscientiousness, and self-control, which together do more to determine success than S.A.T. scores or I.Q.

There is growing evidence that our anxiety about our children?s school performance may actua lly be holding them back from learning some of these valuable skills. If you?re concerned only with a child?s G.P.A., then you will likely choose to minimize the challenges the child faces in school. With real challenge comes the risk of real failure. And in a competitive academic environment, the idea of failure can be very scary, to students and parents alike.

But experiencing failure is a critical part of building character. Recent research by a team of psychologists found that adults who had experienced little or no failure growing up were actually less happy and confident than those who had experienced a few significant setbacks in childhood. “Overcoming those obstacles,” the researchers assumed, “could teach effective coping skills, help engage social support networks, create a sense of mastery over past adversity, and foster beliefs in the ability to cope successfully in the future.”

By contrast, when we protect our children from every possible failure—when we call their teachers to get an extension on a paper; when we urge them to choose only those subjects they?re good at—we are denying them those same character-building experiences. As the psychologists Madeline Levine and Dan Kindlon have written, that can lead to difficulties in adolescence and young adulthood, when overprotected young people finally confront real problems on their own and don?t know how to overcome them.

In the classroom and outside of it, American parents need to encourage children to take chances, to challenge themselves, to risk failure. In the meantime, giving our kids room to fail may be one of
