What’s startling about watching the first Bond movies again is how 11 they are . Since
each Bond must inevitably trump the Bond before it — bigger stunts, wilder gadgets, crazier
villains — it 12 that each preceding Bond is, well, trumped. We’re used to Bond whizzing
all over the planet, but in the first film, the fights are early 1960s judo flips, and Bond was
more a frightened husband than a secret agent. The films quickly established a formula and
13 it. Bond is given his assignment and gadgets. In an exotic locale, he meets his local,
ethnic contact, who usually dies halfway through the picture. There are chases, attempts on
Bond’s life, meetings with the new villain and the new villain’s super-powered henchman. He
beds three women: the inconsequential one at the beginning, an enemy agent in the middle, and
then “the Bond girl,” with whom he shares the final assault on the enemy’s fortress. There,
captured, he learns the villain’s diabolical plot to a) blackmail the West, b) start World War III,
or c) both. He escapes, kills the henchman, blows everything up, and 14 the girl and sex
on his mind. Nobody had seen anything like it. Soon imitators 15 everywhere: “I Spy,”

celebration of itself as a European Capital of Culture for 2013. Gaining the title, 78 is
something like winning the Olympics. It gives Marseille, 79 a chance to remake itself,

Rites of passage are ceremonies that mark important periods of transition or change in a
person’s life. The phrase rites of passage was first used by a Belgian anthropologist. He said
that all rites of passage had three parts. First, the individual is separated from society. Then he
or she undergoes a transformation. Finally, the participant returns to society with a different
status. They often symbolically demonstrate the society’s values by using elements such as
clothing, jewelry, words, music, and dance. In addition, the individual involved in the rite may
have to prove himself or herself to the group he or she belongs to. In many societies, the most
complex and significant rites of passage occur at puberty when young people move from
childhood to adulthood.
The most familiar rites of passage in the USA is the wedding ceremony. One element of a
traditional western wedding is the reciting of the wedding vows. Vows are promises that the
bride and groom make to each other in front of their friends and family. After they say their
vows, the couple is considered married. Another important rites of passage in American society
is graduation. The graduates often wear caps and gowns that completely cover their clothing. In
the past, the gowns were always black, but today, they are usually the school colors. On their
heads, graduates wear a cap with a square, flat top which has a colored tassel that hangs down
in the front. The gown was the traditional clothing of students and professors hundreds of year
ago, so it signifies that the wearer is an academic. The cap signifies the student’s change in
status when, at the end of the graduation ceremony, the participants move the tassel from left to
right.
Which of the followings is not one of the transitions which rites of passage mark?
examination
having children
death
birth

Society has many different outlooks on a controversial situation. The majority of the
public is small-minded, or shall I say narrow-minded about these issues. So when gay
parenting becomes an issue, many outlooks are presented that conflict with each other.
Nowadays scores of Internet sites offer information about adoption and sperm banks.
Children’s storybooks feature same-sex parents and physicians and hospitals are more open to
helping. The rise in gay-headed families has been aided by a great willingness among adoption
agencies to accept gay men and lesbians as adoptive parents. In addition, the way same-sex
parents express their emotion toward children demonstrated with no doubt that they’re loving
people, just looking out for the benefit of their kids. Nevertheless, people still argue that in a
homosexual household, not only is one of the sexes missing, but the children are confronted
with abnormal sexuality being presented as the norm. Having to explain to peers that you have
two mommies or two daddies is a burden no child should have to bear. .
From the arguments, we know that the author
supports gay parenting.
hates gay parenting.
has no opinion about gay parenting.
is confused by so many outlooks about gay parenting.

The last sentence in the passage could be
Gay parenting remains unacceptable in society.
Possibly the gay and lesbian family could provide greater love for their children than
some so-called normal families.
Even if gay parents wanted to influence their children’s sexual orientation, they
probably couldn’t.
But the truth is that the long-term research suggests that children of same-sex couples
seem to develop pretty much like other children.
