21、(Reuters) --- A stampede killed at least 36 people during New Year's Eve celebrations in Shanghai, authorities said, but the police denied reports that it was caused by people rushing to pick up fake money thrown from a building overlooking the city's famous waterfront.
It was the worst disaster in the modern city since 58 died in an apartment building fire in 2010.
The cause of the crush has still to be confirmed, though state media and some witnesses have said it was at least partly aroused when people rushed to pick up coupons that looked like bank notes.
A man named Wu said the fake money had been thrown down from a bar above the street as part of the celebrations.
"This incident happened after the stampede," police said in a brief statement, without saying what the real cause was.
Another witness said there had been a problem away from the area where the fake bills were thrown, with people trying to get on to a raised platform overlooking the river.
Xinhua news agency said that people had been trampled on after falling down on the steps up to the platform.
Authorities had shown some concern about crowd control in the days leading up to New Year's Eve. They recently canceled an annual 3D laser show on the Bund, which last year attracted as many as 300,000 people.
On New Year's Eve, Beijing also canceled a countdown event in the central business district, Chinese media said, due to police fears about overcrowding.
The Shanghai government said on its official microblog that an inquiry had begun, and that all other New Year events had been canceled.
In 2004, 37 people died in a stampede in northern Beijing, on a bridge at a scenic spot, during the Lunar New Year holiday.

C. Some possible measures had been taken by authorities.
D. The celebrations in Beijing were influenced by this stampede.

22、Only two countries in the advanced world provide no guarantee for paid leave from work to care for a newborn child. Last spring one of the two，Australia， gave up the bad distinction by setting up paid family leave starting in 2011．I wasn’t surprised when this didn’t make the news here in the United States—we’re now the only wealthy country without such a policy．
The United States does have one explicit family policy， the Family and Medical Leave Act， passed in 1993．It entitles workers to as much as 12 weeks’ unpaid leave for care of a newborn or dealing with a family medical problem． Despite the modesty of the benefit， the Chamber of Commerce and other business groups fought it bitterly， describing it as “government-run personnel management” and a “dangerous precedent（先例）．” In fact， every step of the way， as (usually) Democratic leaders have tried to introduce work-family balance measures into the law， business groups have been strongly opposed.
As Yale law professor Anne Alstott argues， justifying parental support depends on defining （定义） the family as a social good that， in some sense， society must pay for. Parents are burdened in many ways in their lives: there is “no exit” when it comes to children. Society expects—and needs—parents to provide their children with continuity of care． And society expects—and needs—parents to persist in their roles for 18 years， or longer if needed.
【1】What do we learn about paid family leave according to Paragraph 1？
A．It came as a surprise when Australia adopted the policy.
B．Setting up this policy made Australia less influential.
C．It has now become a hot topic in the United States.
D．No such policy is applied in the United States.
【2】What makes it hard to take work-family balance measures in the States？
A．The incompetence of the Democrats.
B．The opposition from business circles.
C．The lack of a precedent in American history.
D．The existing Family and Medical Leave Act.
【3】What is Professor Anne Alstott’s argument for parental support？
A．Children need continuous care.
B．Good parenting benefits society.
C．The cost of raising children has been growing.
D．The U．S．should keep up with other developed countries.
【4】Why is the author against classifying parenting as a personal choice？
A．Parenting is regarded as a moral duty.
B．Parenting relies largely on social support.
C．Parenting produces huge moral benefits.
D．Parenting is basically a social responsibility.
23、If you make a list of the world’s top ten most challenging job, chances are that being a teacher will not make the cut. But think about the daunting task millions of educators face each day as they try to mold a group of often surly, unruly kids into intelligent, well-rounded individuals. That surely has to be the toughest job in the world, especially given that there is no promotion or bonus awaiting them even if they are wildly successful!
What if these all-important individuals that we often take for granted disappear from our lives? That was what Project Ed and Participant Media's Teach campaign asked filmmakers of all ages to envision for their recently held contest. Entitled, "A World Without Teachers," its intent was to inspire more young people to become teachers. However, the 62 amazing video submissions also serve as a reminder of how grim things would be if we didn't have these selfless individuals guiding us through life. What was interesting is that even the youngest contestants did not appear to rejoice at the idea of not having anybody telling them what to do.
High-school student Savannah Wakefield pondered if art as we know it today would have been different without teachers. Would Monet have discovered his talent for impressionism? Los Angeles-based Miles Horst, who won the 1,000 USD prize for the best adult submission imagines a world where teachers are replaced by a 'brain box' in his fun animated entry.
Youth category winner Marina Barham's video depicts a fact we all know but often forget. Teachers don't just teach, they inspire - something that no electronic device, no matter how smart, can do! So the next time you think your teacher is being "mean" for trying to channel you in the right direction, imagine a life without him/her. We have a feeling it will not appear as rosy!
【1】What is the passage mainly about?
A. The campaign to promote teachers' status.
B. The significance cf teachers.
C. A survey of people's views about teachers.
D. The possibility of a world where teachers are replaced.
【2】From the passage we can learn that_____.
A. teaching naughty kids is a very discouraging task
B. being a teacher is one of the most challenging jobs in the world
C. a successful teacher has the greatest chance to be promoted
D. teachers have little influence on kids' individual development
【3】What is the purpose of the project “A World Without Teachers”?
A. To attract kids to submit more videos of their teachers.
B. To expect teachers to devote themselves to their jobs.
C. To remind students to appreciate teachers' hard work.
D. To encourage more people to go into teaching career.
【4】What can we infer from the underlined sentence?
A. Teaching is quite different from other jobs.
B. The future of teachers' work appears inspiring.
C. A world without teachers will be unimaginable.
D. Many people attach more importance to teaching.
24、As I wash dishes at the kitchen sink, my husband, Scott, paces behind me, annoyed. “Have you seen my keys?” he asks. In the past I would have turned off the tap and joined the hunt while trying to comfort my husband. But that only made him angrier. Now, I focus on the wet dish in my hands. I don’t turn around. I don’t say a word. I’m using a technique I learned from a dolphin trainer.
For a book I was writing about animal trainers’ school, I started spending my days watching professional trainers do the seemingly impossible: teaching dogs to dance on command and chimps to skateboard. Eventually it hit me that the same techniques might work on that stubborn but lovable species, the American husband. The central lesson I learned is that I should reward behaviour I like and ignore behaviour I don’t. After all, you don’t get a sea lion to balance a ball on the end of its nose by talking. The same goes for the American husband.
I began thanking Scott if he threw one dirty shirt into the laundry basket. If he threw in two, I’d kiss him. I was using what trainers call “approximations”, rewarding the small steps toward learning a whole new behaviour. With Scott the husband, I began to praise every small act every time: if he drove just a mile an hour slower, or was on time for anything.
I followed the students to Sea World San Diego, where a dolphin trainer introduced me to Least Reinforcing Scenario (L. R. S.). When a dolphin does something wrong, the trainer doesn’t respond in any way. The idea is that any response, positive or negative, fuels a behaviour. If a behaviour causes no response, it typically dies away. It was only a matter of time before he was again searching for his keys, at which point I said nothing and kept at what I was doing. It took a lot of discipline to maintain my calm, but results were immediate. I felt as if I should throw him a small fish.
【1】What can we infer about the writer?
A．She treats her husband like animals.
B．She often quarrels with her husband.
C．She behaves differently to her husband.
D．She’s determined to learn from the dolphin.
【2】How did the writer get the idea of treating her husband?
A．By rewarding her husband.
B．By writing a book on animals.
C．By focusing on washing the dishes.
D．By watching professional training.
【3】What will happen if the trainer doesn’t respond to the dolphin’s mistake?
A．It will forget the mistake.
B．It will feel embarrassed.
C．It will remember its mistake.
D．It will repeat the wrong action.
【4】What is the tone of the text?
A．Serious.
B．Humorous.
C．Aggressive.
D．Doubtful.
