The newspaper cited an investigation of students in more than 10 primary schools in Nanjing. But Wang Xianjiong， schoolmaster of Nanshi Primary School， which was listed as being investigated， said he had not heard that any of his students had cards. But he admitted it was not unusual for primary students to use name cards. “Primary students should mainly concentrate on studying， instead of social intercourse，”Wang said. The Yangcheng Evening News report said most of the cards were prepared by parents， who hoped the cards would improve their children’s communication skills. In China， most families have only one child， and many of these children are said to have poor social skills. The report quoted primary student Jia Xiaoyong， a school monitor who decided himself to print his name cards. He said he believed name cards would improve his efficiency to organize student activities. But Wang Xianjiong said name cards were unnecessary for primary students. A local education official named Pan said he was surprised and upset by the news. He thinks education authorities(机构)and schools have long been engaged in organizing various activities to improve primary students’ social lives， and name cards alone could not make children more sociable. “If children are kidnapped(绑架)by outlaws， they can try to give their cards to warm-hearted people to seek rescue，” the report quoted a parent as saying. Names， telephone numbers and e-mail and home addresses， hobbies and personal ambitions were often printed on the children’s cards， the report said. Many students themselves asked their parents to print the cards mainly for the novelty (新鲜感)of having them rather than to meet actual communication demands， the report said. 56.

A. the students without name cards of their own B. the schoolmaster of Nanshi Primary School C. a great many parents D. the local education official named Pan 57. Some of the parents think that name cards will help their children _____. A. to improve their ability of social intercourse B. to avoid being kidnapped C. to concentrate on their schoolwork D.

A. is for B. is against C. wants to stop D. wants to tell people of B Life is too short to waste a moment, so while you still have time, let your hair down, remove that “boring” tag in your so-called life and start making it worthwhile. Below are some tips that will help you live a wonderful life. 1. Keep a Positive Attitude. Enjoy what you have and work on getting the things you desire. Psychologists believe that optimism (乐观主义) is a good defense against unhappiness, so it is better to keep your optimism alive. Feeling sad about your life will only make you sadder, so be happy. 2. Don’t Be Afraid to Take Risks. Life is all about taking risks, and that’s the exciting part of it. Challenges and failure are part of life. Once you learn how to take risks, you’ll soon realize how good it feels not to let moments pass you by. 3. ... You only have one life, so make it worthwhile. Being unwilling to let the past go just keeps you away from the things you should be enjoying at the present. 4. List the Things You Want to Do. Stop lazing around and give yourself something to be busy with. Write down a list of all the things you want to do and make a timeline, not to stress you out, but to remind you of your goals. So don’t put limits to yourself because you’ll never know what may happen. (责任编辑：admin) |
