Much of a parent's job is to provide the gifts of caring, love, and emotional support to children. But one gift is often beyond their reach: the resources to meet the financial demands of college tuition.
For more than 54 years, the United Negro College Fund has fulfilled the dreams of deserving students by closing the gap between the cost of college and what their parents can afford. More than 300,000 students have graduated from United Negro College Fund member colleges since 1944, and 54,000 more axe currently enrolled (入学).
The oldest and most successful minority higher education support organization, the United Negro College Fund is a combination of 39 private, historically black member colleges and universities. Since its founding, it has raised more than $1.3 billion to keep the dream alive for needy families across the country.
What is it that makes the United Negro College Fund so important to America's families? As well as raising funds and giving technical support to member colleges and universities, it creates hope and opportunity by providing financial assistance to deserving students. Consider the contributions of just a few of the distinguished graduates who have realized the benefits: civil rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; opera diva Leontyne Price; Olympic track star Edwin Moses; and filmmaker Spike Lee.
Most parents feel embarrassed when their children graduate from high school because they can't ______.
A.afford their children's college tuition
B.offer their children emotional support
C.look after their children
D.give them gifts on their birthdays

A request for further negotiations letter is much like your acceptance or rejection of letter.
The difference is that the request 【S1】______
for further negotiations shows that you would accept the offer
contingent on the result of negotiations. To begin with the letter, 【S2】______
thank the employer for the offer. Then state on your wish to discuss 【S3】______
things further. Thus you can do this in two ways. a direct request for 【S4】______
further negotiations or a conditional statement.
Next, it is important to stress for the points of your contract that 【S5】______
require further discussion. I list them all, so that the company can 【S6】______
prepare for their responses once instead of in a number of letters such 【S7】______
as this. Also, as it may be helpful for you to state the reasons for the 【S8】______
discussion of each point. This will give the employer a better
understanding of your specific needs. Depending on the type and 【S9】______
number of points when you are discussing, it may be beneficial to 【S10】______
format them in a list. This is sometimes an easier way to read and
organize the information than paragraph form.
In closing, it may be helpful to suggest on that the employer contact 【S11】______
you with their initial reactions to your unresolved issues. List your 【S12】______
contact information and when you may be reached. Restate your
general appreciation for the offer and maintain a sense of goodwill.

Children come to reading in different ways over different periods of time. 【B1】Still, there is much parents can do to help their kids develop and enjoy a lifelong interest in reading.
Start with books that appeal to you. 【B2】Until you discover what your child likes to read, select books that you loved when you were small and new stories that strike your imagination. Visit you local library and ask the children's librarian to suggest authors and titles kids love.
Make reading routine.【B3】To get your child hooked on reading, set aside a regular time each day to enjoy a book together. Fifteen to thirty minutes is fine-or whatever it takes to read a whole story or chapter. That's enough time to give the young reader a chance to settle down, focus-and enjoy.
Make good reading behavior. Your child watches you when you read. 【B4】If you don't seem to be enjoying yourself, you're sending a message that reading isn't much fun. No matter how tired you are, try not to drone. Put your heart into reading! Let the actor in you emerge! If you sound bored, you can't expect your child to be interested.
Borrow or buy books whenever possible. Get into the habit of taking your children to the library and try to fill bookshelves at home. Give a book for every birthday and holiday. Encourage friends and relatives to do the same. 【B5】When you go out shopping and your child asks for something, buy a book. They're cheaper than toys and a far better investment in your child's future.
Still, there is much parents can do to help their kids develop and enjoy a lifelong interest in reading.

The best indication of whether a man or woman is capable of genuine friendship with a mate, social psychologists say, is whether he or she has close, nonsexual friends of the opposite sex. Also important, says Pittman, is whether that person is friends with his parents, since someone still at war with his parents is probably not ready for friendship with a romantic partner.

In 1950, a young man would have found it much easier than it is today to get and keep a job in the auto industry. And in that year the average autoworker could meet monthly mortgage (抵押贷款) payments on an average home with just 13.4 percent of his take-home pay. Today a similar mortgage would claim more than twice that share of his monthly earnings.
Other members of the autoworker’s family, however, might be less inclined to trade the present for the past. His retired parents would certainly have had less economic security back then. Throughout much of the 1960s, more than a quarter of men and women age 65 and older lived below the poverty level, compared to less than 10 percent in 2010.
In most states, his wife could not have taken out a loan or a credit card in her own name. In 42 states, a homemaker had no legal claim on the earnings of her husband. And nowhere did a wife have legal protection against family violence.
Most black workers would not want to return to a time when, on average, they earned 40 percent less than their white counterparts (职位相对的人), while racially restrictive agreements largely prevented them from buying into the suburban neighborhoods being built for white working-class families.
Today, new problems have emerged in the process of resolving old ones, but the solution is not to go back to the past. Some people may long for an era when divorce was still hard to come by. The spread of no-fault divorce has reduced the bargaining power of whichever spouse is more interested in continuing the relationship. And the breakup of such marriages has caused pain for many families.
The growing diversity of family life comes with new possibilities as well as new challenges. According to a recent poll, more than 80 percent of Americans believe that their current family is as close as the one in which they grew up, or closer. Finding ways to improve the lives of the remaining 20 percent seems more realistic than trying to restore an imaginary golden age.
61. What do we learn about American autoworkers in 1950?
A) They had less job security than they do today.
B) It was not too difficult for them to buy a house.
C) Their earnings were worth twice as much as today.
D) They were better off than workers in other industries.
62. What does the author say about retired people today?
A) They invariably long to return to the golden past.
B) They do not depend so much on social welfare.
C) They feel more secure economically than in the past.
D) They are usually unwilling to live with their children.
63. Why couldn’t black workers buy a house in a white suburban neighborhood?
A) They lacked the means of transportation.
B) They were subjected to racial inequality.
C) They were afraid to break the law.
D) They were too poor to afford it.
64. What is the result of no-fault divorce?
A) Divorce is easier to obtain.
B) Domestic violence is lessened.
C) It causes little pain to either side.
D) It contributes to social unrest.
65. What does the author suggest society do?
A) Get prepared to face any new challenges.
B) Try to better the current social security net.
C) Narrow the gap between blacks and whites.
D) Improve the lives of families with problems.
