Since its creation in 1977, the International Museum Day has gained increasing attention. Recently, the Nanjing Museum in Jiangsu Province made headlines for hosting a real estate developers' promotional activity. On April 26, the museum's curator was suspended for an alleged misuse of power. According to China's regulations on the protection of cultural heritages, heads of museums do not have the authority to give the green light to commercial promotions at their institutions and should instead apply for approval for such events from higher-level authorities. The Nanjing Museum's curator failed to follow this requirement. The case has again fueled controversy over the commercialization of museums. The increasing number of commercial activities in museums has caused widespread concern in China. People worry that allowing this trend to continue will tarnish the image of museums as respected cultural venues and also put at risk the cultural heritages and classic objects in museum collections. Others, however, argue that the commercialization of museums is happening around the world, and win-win outcomes are possible provided that the institutions abide by basic principles and maintain a balance between profit-making and cultural heritages protection.

Recently, a college student helped an old woman who fell down and was accused of shoving the old woman to the ground. The case has drawn national attention. The following are the supporters' and opponents' opinions. Read them carefully from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization, language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.YES It is one of Chinese tradition virtues to care for and help the old. When they fall down, helping them to stand up is a very small thing we can do to them. Imagine if your own grandfather or grandmother fell down. Would you give them a hand? We shouldn't be biased in helping those people in need because good deeds may be relayed.NO It is hard to judge whether a person who falls down is really in need or just plays the trick to cheat money. Without knowing this, helping the old will only get us into unnecessary trouble, for example, the financial disputes. It is not an obligation but a choice for citizens to help the people in need or not. Helping others can be appreciated and awarded. But that doesn't mean not helping is something bad which must be criticized and even punished.

Are women born with【C2】______ mathematical ability? Or does society's sexism slow their progress? In 1980, two Johns Hopkins University researchers tried to【C3】______ the eternal nature/ nurture debate. Julian Stanley and Camilla Benbow had【C4】______ 10,000 talented seventh- and eighth-graders between 1972 and 1979. Using the Scholastic Aptitude Test, in which math questions are meant to measure ability rather than knowledge, they discovered【C5】______ sex differences. While the verbal abilities of the males and females【C6】______ differed, boys twice as many as girls scored over 500(on a scale of 200 to 800)on mathematical ability; at the 700 level, the ratio was 14 to 1. The conclusion: males have【C7】______ superior mathematical reasoning ability. Benbow and Stanley's findings, which were published in "Science", disturbed some men and not a few women. Now there is【C8】______ for those people in a new study from the University of Chicago that suggests math is not, after all, a natural male domain. Prof. Zalman Usiskin studied 1,366 tenth graders. They were selected from【C9】______ classes and tested on their ability to solve geometry proofs, a subject requiring both abstract reasoning and spatial ability.

(l)Hippies were members of a youth movement of the 1960's and 1970's that started in the United States and spread to Canada, Great Britain, and many other countries. The hippies rejected the customs, traditions, and life styles of society and tried to develop those of their own. Most hippies came from white middle-class families and ranged in age from 15 to 25 years old. They thought too many adults cared about making money and little else. The term hippie may come from the word hip, which means "turned-in" or aware. (2)Hippies wanted a world based on love of humanity and peace. Many believed that wonderful, magical changes were about to take place. They thought these changes would happen as soon as people learned to express their feelings honestly and to behave naturally at all times. Hippies strongly opposed U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. (3)Many hippies lived together in small groups, working with one another and sharing possessions. Others refused to be tied down to a fixed job or home. They wandered from place to place seeking part-time work and temporary shelter. Some begged for spare change and lived in the streets or camped in parks or other public lands. (4)Hippies were sometimes called "flower children" because they gave people flowers to communicate gentleness and love. They let their hair grow long and walked barefoot or in sandals. Hippies attracted public attention by wearing clothing that featured unusual combinations of colors and textures. A large number of hippies used marijuana, LSD, and other drugs. Drug experiences shaped many of their symbols and ideas. (5)The Beatles, a popular English rock group, helped spread the hippie movement with their song. Hippie favorites included such other rock groups as the Grateful Dead and the Jefferson Airplane, singers Joan Baez and Bob Dylan, poet Allen Ginsberg, and novelist Ken Kesey. Many hippies admired Timothy Leary, a psychologist who preached salvation through the use of drugs. (6)In time, most hippies realized it was not easy to reform society by "dropping out" of it. Some joined more organized political movements to work for specific social causes. Others turned to spirituality or religion. The majority simply left the hippie stage of their lives behind while trying to hold on to at least a few of the ideals that once inspired them.
