While many face physical and psychological difficulties, they often lack an effective (36)_ strangely and frequently feel guilty about asking their children for help. Now studies have shown that asking chil&en to do a regular chore or two around the house is not only important for (37)_ parents' stress but it also plays a vital role in (38)_ responsibility and self-reliance in the children. (39)_ by sorting the laundry, setting the table or preparing a meal, children from the age of four can become more involved in the smooth running of the household and thus develop their self-esteem. A schedule of chores can be difficult to (40)_ at first. Parents are advised to lead by (41)_ and to let the children choose the days and times they will deal with their chores.

In one small village in England, Bisley, all of the wells and springs in the surrounding 5 area are decorated with thousands of flowers once a year. However, no part of 6 the country compares with the hills ofDerbyshire, where around thirty or so 7 villages are famous for traditional well-dressed, putting flower pictures beside each well every surnmer. The uncredibly strong frames supporting the pictures 9 are first soaked in a nearby stream or pond (this extends the life of the exhibit) 10 and then covered with a layer of clay, mixed with water and salt. Full- sized u drawings ofthe final picture, most often a religious scene, is laid on the clay. 12 The outlines are then pricked through at a sharp tool. The picture is made by 13 pushing small berries or seeds into the clay along the lines, and filling in the 14 colours with moss and flower petals. Each ofthe pieces overlaps the previous 15 one, like tiles on a roof, to reduce rain damages. In this way, the spectacular flower pictures last about a week, during which time everyone in the village is 17 involved in the anual fair, put on to entertain and amuse tourists Trang 1 8 16

The teaching of history in secondary schools is a matter of continuing debate among educators and historians (44)_. Those who argue in (45)_ of leaming history by rote are fortunately the last (46)_ a dying breed, but there are still many educators aswellasparents(47)-lamenttherecentdeclineofyoungpeople,sawarenessof important historical events. Proponents of this view maintain that there is a body of knowledge about ow collective past which must be handed (48)_ from one generation to the next. Others, however, argue thal skills such as analysis, critical thinking, research and writing are of greatervaluetoStudentSinthelongrun.Theyalsopoint(:49)-thattheveryquestion ofwhosehistoryshouldbetaughttosecondaryschoolstudents(50)-yettobe satisfactorily answered. Both the history of women and that of minority groups have been overlooked in conventional history teaching, and supporters of this latter view ask: "Isn't their history ours, as well?" IX. Yoa are going to read t text about eterrrdl youth. For questions 5l-60, choosefrom the secrtons A-F. Forever Young A The dream of youth is as old as time, and people have gone to great lelgths to preserve themselves. It is said that Cleopatra bathed daily in milk to preserve the beauty two great Romans fell in love with. Countless Erszebet Bathory of Hungary was said to have drunk the blood of hundreds of young women in the mistaken belief that it would keep her like them; it is from here, among other sources, that the legend of the vampire came fiom. Indeed, literature abounds with such stories; The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde is one - it recounts the story of a beautiful young man who makes a deal so that his portrait grows old instead of him. B It was not until the twentieth century that the health care industry branched out into the preservation of the body, producing the efficacious, and most profitable arm of medicine today. Treatments generally rely on plastic surgery ofone sort or another; facelifts, tummy-tucks, liposuction and the like. Your local chemist will also testiff that anti-wrinkle creams sell well, and pills containing vitamin boosts, hormones and herbal concoctions can keep you looking good all the way to the end. C But there lies the problem. The average lifespan is about 70 years, the maximum 120-odd. We don't even rank at the top of the animal kingdom - giant tortoises get up to 150 often enough, and the giant clam 200 (though both have low-stress lifestyles). So the quest of the ages has always been for immortality as well as youth, and the traditional paths to this are two. The first is religion and either everlasting life after death or reincarnation. The other method is by way of people's minds; the immortality of fame. As long as people talk about you, you live; Shakespeare is not called the Immortal Bard for nothing. To be gone from the minds ofthe collective unconscious is to truly die. D But neither option is enough for some people. As Woody Allen said, 'I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve immortality by not dying.' Many people throughout history have left the same way, and have striven to find a way to reach this most happy of goals. The Chinese thought the precious metal gold was the key, to be drunk down as dust in a liquid suspension. The alchemists, ancestors of present-day chemists, felt that since they believed that base metals such as Trang 4/9 exercising Only address principle first equipped
