（D） Anybody running a company knows that a well—planned conference can greatly improve performance of that business．The main reason for this is that it takes your employees away from the daily workplace and offers them somewhere fresh for a short time．However，unless the conference is well thought out it will not have the best results and you will have wasted a great deal of money．Here are some tips for you． The first step is to find the right place．Can your employees easily reach the conference center? Is it near a railway station? Is it close to a good，fast road? Has it plenty off suitable parking space? If you are going to choose a hotel，then perhaps the hotel has cheaper rates at weekends or，if it is in a popular tourist area，midweek rates may be cheaper．Furthermore, you need to think whether there is a bathroom．After a day’s meeting，maybe your employees would like to have a hot water bath．Or maybe there are other needs to satisfy depending on your employees’ taste.
Another important requirement is food and drink．Breakfast is a time when people can relax before work begins，but you may not want a long break for lunch in the middle of the day．Buffet(自助餐) lunches are very popular for this reason．Then there is dinner，which most employees consider a reward for a day’s hard work!
Whatever your needs are，it is essential（基本的）to think ahead if you want a successful conference．

News has come from America that we shall soon have no more children. The idea that children are different sorts of people from adults, says Mr. Neil Postman has not always been around. In medieval (世纪) times most children did not go to school, but joined in adult life entertainment.
Then printed books were invented; and became common (before that, the only book were copied by hand, and there were very few of them). With printing, all families could have books: this meant that adults could get knowledge children could not, since the children had to read first. So some knowledge became unsuitable for children. They were no longer just small grownups, but had to learn to become grown-ups.
All this, says Mr. Postman is now changing. Printing created childhood, but television is destroying it once again. No one needs to learn to watch television. All knowledge is there for everyone to have. We are going to return to a medieval life-style, and children are once more going to be a part of the adult world.
51. According to the passage, most children in medieval times_______. A. could go to school but they didn’t’ t B. were quite different from their parents C. had actually been grown-ups
D. took part in all the activities like their parents
