    HOLLYWOOD(UPI)—Loni Anderson decided last year it was time to change her career around to play moms and comedy instead of pretty young girls.

    So far, most people remember her as Jennifer Marlowe, the role she played in her first film in 1982.
    This summer people will see Anderson in A Night as Roxbury, a film produced and directed by Amy Heckerlin.
    “In the film I have two sons. One is 26, and the other is 30. Isn’t that interesting? I know I don’t look that old, but that’s what’s so fun about it.”
    “My character dresses in clothes too short, too tight. Dan Hedaya plays my husband. We’re a couple with a lot of money and no taste. Our sons are complete idiots(白痴). Their purpose in life is to get into the Rich Young Man Club where everybody is proud of his wealth.”
    “As you can tell, I’m doing things I’d never have done at the beginning of my career.”
    “But I am who I am. I’ve worked as an actress a long time and now I can be anything I want. It’s a great time for me. I don’t have anything to prove.”
    “I hadn’t done comedy in a long time. It’s what I do best and what I like best. At this point in my life I want to look a lit­tle bit foolish. I think that would be something new for me.”

    Long long ago people made fires from lightning(闪电)。 But they had to keep the fire burning, for they couldn’t start it again if there was no lightning. Later, they found out hitting two piece of stone together could make a spark (火花). The spark could fire dry leaves. In this way they could make the fire again if it went out. Them people also learned to make a fire by rubbing. They made a hole on a big piece of wood and put a smaller stick into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few minutes they got a fire.
    As years went by, people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat from sun. they held a piece of glass in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire.
    About two centuries ago, people began to make matches (火柴). Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fire. Today matches are still being used, but people have more new ways to make fires. One of them is to use an electric fire starter.

    After graduation I returned home to my small town in Indiana. I didn’t have a job yet. Mr. Hobbs, a friend of my father’s, owned a small shirt factory in town. Within the past five years it had grown from twenty to eighty workers. Mr. Hobbs was worried that his plant was getting too big and inefficient, so he asked me to come in on a short-term basis as a consultant.
    I went to the plant and spent about a week looking around and making notes. I was really a mazed at what I saw.
    Most curious of all, there was no quality control at all. No one inspected the final product of the factory. As a result some of the shirts that were put in boxes for shipment were missing one or two buttons, the collar, and even a sleeve sometimes!
    The working conditions were poor. The tables where the workers sat were very high and uncomfortable. Except for a half hour at lunchtime, there were no breaks in the day to relieve the boring work. There was no music. The walls of the workrooms were a dull gray color. I was amazed that the workers hadn’t gone on strike.
    Furthermore, the work flow was irregular. There was one especially absent-minded young man in the assembly（组装）line who sewed on buttons. After a while I recognized him as "Big Jim", who used to sit behind me in math class in high school. He was very slow and all the shifts were held up at his position. Workers beyond him in line on his shift had to wait with nothing to do; therefore, a great deal of time and efficiency were lost as Big Jim daydreamed while he worked. All week I wondered why he wasn’t fired.
    After I made observations for a week, Mr. Hobbs asked me for an oral report of my findings.
    小题1:The shirts from Mr. Hobbs’ factory can be described as ____.
    A．of low qualityB．of high qualityC．fashionableD．unfashionable
    小题2:Why did Mr. Hobbs ask the writer to the factory?
    A．The factory was too big.
    B．The factory was not producing fast enough.
    C．The factory was not big enough.
    D．The writer was a college graduate.
    小题3:Which is not likely to happen in the factory?
    A．The workers will have more rest in the day.
    B．Someone will examine the final product.
    C．New machines will be bought.
    D．The factory will be repainted.
    小题4:Big Jim may get fired mainly because ____.
    A．he was slow
    B．he wasted much time
    C．he was absent-minded
    D．the work flow was irregular

    The past six years have been filled with adventures．My children and I have gone swimming with dolphins, watched whales and hiked around the crater rim （火山口边缘） of the volcano．We wake up every morning with the ocean in front of us and the volcano behind us．

    Teens are more likely to behave badly if their parents expect them to，a new US study has found.
    “Parents who believe they are simply being realistic might actually be having a bad effect on their children，” Christy Buchanan，a teacher at Wake Forest University and one of the authors of the study，said. “Bad expectations on the part of both parents and children predict more rebellious (叛逆的) behaviors later on.”
    The finding came from a study of more than 250 sixth­ and seventh­graders and their mothers. They were examined at the start of the study and again one year later. If kids’ mothers expected them to take more risks and be more rebellious，higher chances of risky behavior were seen.This_was_also_true when kids had bad expectations of themselves.
    “Sometimes parents expect more negative behavior from their children than they should based on the children’s history of behavior，” Buchanan said.Parents shouldn’t be naive (无知的) about the possibility of bad behavior，she said，but it’s also a mistake to think that children who are well­behaved will naturally become rebellious at the age of 13.
    “By thinking risk­taking or rebelliousness is normal for teenagers and showing that to their children，parents might add to other messages from society that make teenagers feel that they are strange if they are not willing to take risks or break laws，” she said.“This can mean，for example，that when parents expect teens to drink before they turn 21 or to do other risky behaviors，kids are less likely to refuse to do so later in their lives.”
    On the other hand，parents’ expectations that teens can exhibit good behaviors and refuse to behave badly or to take risks could help reduce the possibility of bad behavior，Buchanan said.“As a parent，you should put expectations on your children carefully.”
    小题1:The passage is centered around the topic of________.
    A．parental rights
    B．children’s habits
    C．parental education
    D．parent­children relationship
    小题2:What do we know about the study?
    A．Only mothers were examined.
    B．Participants were examined twice.
    C．250 people were examined in the study.
    D．Christy Buchanan was the only author of the study.
    小题3:What does the underlined part “This was also true” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
    A．The kids were more likely to take dangerous behavior.
    B．The kids would have bad expectations of their parents.
    C．The kids were likely to go against their mothers.
    D．Mothers expected their kids to behave badly.
    小题4:Children may be more rebellious if________.
    A．they know parents think risk­taking is normal
    B．parents put little expectation on them
    C．they behave well before they turn 13
    D．they are asked not to take risks
    小题5:What might be the most suitable title for the passage?
    A．Risk­taking is normal for teens.
    B．Why are my teens behaving badly?
    C．Don’t expect too much from your teens.
    D．Bad expectations lead to bad­behaving teens.
