二、Reading Comprehension

1.Your passport is your official identification as an American citizen. In American, most people never consider obtaining a passport unless they are planning a trip out of the country. In Europe, where travel from one country to another is much more common, almost everyone carries a pass- port. A passport is final proof of identity in almost every county in the world. In 1979 almost 15 million American held passports. Most of these passports were obtained to travel outside the country because, except for a few Western nations, passports are required to enter every country.  And if you travel abroad, you must have a valid passport to return the country. When traveling abroad, you will need a passport for identification when exchanging dollars for francs or marks or other foreign currency. You may also need your passport to use a credit card, buy an airplane ticket or check into a hotel. As a passport is an official U.S. document, it is valuable as identification in any emergency overseas, such as floods, fires or war. Don’t confuse passports and visas. Whereas a passport is issued by a country to its citizens, a visa is official permission to visit a country granted by the government of that country. For some years, many countries were dropping their visa requirements, but that trend has reversed. They may be obtained from the embassy of the country you wish to visit. Passport applications are available at passport agency offices in large cities like Boston, New Y ork, or Chicago. In smaller cities, applications are available at post offices and at federal courts. To get your first passport, you must submit the application in person, along with a birth certificate and two pictures.  The main purpose of this passage is to___________.

A.discuss traveling in other countries
B.distinguish between passports and visas
C.discuss the financial uses of a passport
D.provide information about passports

2.Passports are beneficial for___________.

A.exchanging currency
B.using a credit card
C.checking into hotels
D.all of the above

3.We can conclude from the passage that_________.

A.passports are more important than visas
B.visas and passports are the same thing
C.foreign government issue visas instead of passports
D.visas are required to obtain passports

4.The passage suggests that_________.

A.Most people don’t realize how important passports are
B.passports aren’t important once you are in the country you’ve chosen to visit
C.passports are simple to obtain through the mail
D.passports are obtained at the embassy once you enter a country.

6.I hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At young age you ought to be growing away from you parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are a1l taking the same way of snowing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out on their own，most of them are clutching at one another’s hands for reassurance. They say they want to dress as they please，but all of them wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music，but all of them end up huddled round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in this and that way is that the crowd is doing it. It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and go his or her own way. These days every teenager can 1earn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well，go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come-will the people who respect you for who you are. That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts.  The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to tell _____.

A.readers how to be popular with people around
B.teenagers how to learn to decide things for themselves
C.parents how to control and guide their children
D.people how to understand and respect each other

B.What many parents are doing is in fact hindering their children from finding their own paths.
C.It is not necessarily bad for a teenager to disagree with his or her classmates.
