In the complex and technological society that the United States has become, each member must fulfill a number of personal and occupational roles and be in contact withmany other members.
Therefore, viewing children as necessary members of society means that they are regarded more as people in their own right than as those of subordination. This acceptance of children as equal participants in the family is reflected in various laws protecting the rights of children and in the social and public welfare programs.
This new view of children and the frequent contact between the members of society also resulted in an increasing interest in child-raising techniques. People today spend much time seeking the proper way to raise children.（2008福建完形填空）

Anthony Horowitz was miserable as a child. He couldn’t win the attention of his very healthy parents, who sent Horowitz to a boarding school where he was also bullied by his classmates. He did badly in his studies, and his teacher had a low opinion of him. The only one thing he remembered was his desire to write. When he was ten years old, he asked his parents to get him a typewriter for his birthday because he wanted to be a writer.
Now, at 55, Horowitz is one of the world’s most successful children’s book authors.
His Alex Rider series has sold more then 5 million copies, and the eight book featuring the young spy, Crocodile Tears, came out this month…
That style has also made Horowitz a successful writer of television shows for adults in Britain because, he said, writing books for kids is a lot like writing television for grown-ups.
Now, Horowitz couldn’t be happier with his life. He sums up his success: “ …you can be anything you want to be if you just believe in yourself. I do believe it completely.”（Teens K三14期2009年11月30日）
Reading a simplified Romeo and Juliet may perhaps lead to a reading of Shakepeare’s actual play. If that is the case then I welcome the trend. But do not make the mistake of thinking that it is the same thing. Shakespeare is a poet. His greatness is in his language. Reading someone else’s rewriting of his work is like peeling a banana, throwing away the fruit, and eating the skin. Take on the original. It really is worth the effort. (Teens 高三15期第8版2009年12月7日)
Now the university， Irvine ( UCI ) is welcoming a new discipline: video games.
The campus is one of a number of schools offering courses for a generation that grew up playing computer games.
A decade ago, computer science instructors at CUI who tried to get approved a minor in computer games were laughed at. Now things are different.
A lot of people, when they hear’games’and’ university’, they see nothing in common. They think games are mindless and not something to be studied seriously Like Many new disciplines, there’s often a high degree of skepticism.
However, the appeal of video game studies is broad, attracting even studio art majors such as 22-year-old Joel Youkhanna.He changed to CUI because it was one of a few schools that offer gaming as a course of study.
Dan Frost, a lecturer at CUI and other faculty believe videogames studies are gaining acceptance, despite the critics. Frost said: “People said it isn’t serious. The attitude has changed.” (Teens 高三17期第6版2009年12月21日)
According to the text, which of the following statements is true?
A. Computer game science was unheard of 10 years ago.
B. UC Irvine is the first university to offer video games studies as a discipline.
C. The course offered by UC Irvine has mass appeal to students in related majors.
D. The majority of people don’t think video games are something that deserves serious study.
从四个选项的陈述中找出关键词，对应材料相应部分，做出准确的甄别。如Ａ选项中表示的“10 years ago” 与文中 “ a decade ago”所发生的事情是完全不同的，但学生容易抓住某个相同的词，没认真阅读句中内容就选题，答错A项的比率还是高的。第二个选项学生没认真对比 “ first” 与 材料中 “ one of a number of schools” 。第三个选项中 “ mass” 与文中 “ broad” 所蕴含的意思一样，意义为“电脑游戏有广泛的吸引力”，所以是正确的选项。第四个选项 “ majority”与文中的 “ a lot of people” 概念上有差异。
