    It’s a delicate（棘手的）time — if not every parent’s worst nightmare — when a child enters adolescence. 
    Not only are their bodies __   _ physically , but hormones (荷尔蒙) are spreading violently and bad moods are in full swing (活跃).Katie Couric spoke with Dr. Barbara Greenberg, a parenting expert and clinical psychologist , all about how parents can _  _ with their teens , and finally get some answers .Every parent wants to know what is going on inside their teenager’s _   ___, and while the normal instinct (本能) is to give them the third degree (盘问) about their day , Dr Greenberg strongly _  __ us not to question teens closely for long , who are _  __ to get upset or excited all of a sudden.
          direct, general questions like “How was your day?” or “How was the date?”. Teens will respond more positively to        questions like “How was the movie?”      they aren’t ready to give you a whole bunch of information at once. Listening is an important part of any       , and interrupting your child may not get you much       .
    Most adolescents are discovering who they are and how they        society. While it might seem that their eyes are laden with laser beams (激光束) and you are their next target, they are also under a lot of pressure, both socially and academically. Let them        themselves freely; this is their way of telling you about their       .
    Even though the idea isn’t “cool”, research has found that about 80% of teens admire and want to spend time with their parents. Teens really love their parents!
         , but believe it. They are        between wanting that precious independence and        mom and dad.
    Show your kids at an early age that it’s okay to talk about anything at home.        like drugs, sex and alcohol can be scary for both        to discuss, but having these conversations has been proven to help teens keep a healthy lifestyle.
    It is totally possible to        a strong relationship with your teen! Just remember to stay calm,      what they have to say, and don’t take that sigh when you ask about their homework too personally.

    试题分析：本文属于说明文范畴，在文中作者介绍了父母应该如何和处于青春叛逆期的孩子进行沟通交流。作者认为青春期的孩子独立意识增强，建议家长在和孩子谈话时不要过于直接，而且孩子在不愿意讲的时候，也不要一再地追问。总之在尊重孩子的基础上家长能够和青春期的孩子保持良好的关系。
    小题1:.B动词辨析。 A. promoting提升，促进；B. changing改变；C. enlarging扩大；D. increasing增加。此处是not only ……but also表示并列关系，所以根据but后面句子内容可知处于青春期的孩子们不但荷尔蒙增加，脾气变坏，而且身体也在变化，故答案选B。
    小题2:.A动词辨析。 A. talk谈话；  B. live生活；C. deal 处理；D. fight打斗。根据下文内容可知家长们想知道如何和孩子们进行交流，talk with sb “与某人交谈”，所以选A。

    小题4:. C动词辨析。A. suggests 建议； B. appeals  呼吁；C. encourages鼓励；D. persuades劝说。根据上文while引导的状语从句可知尽管父母本能地想去盘问孩子们，但是专家还是让家长不要那么去做，根据用法可知suggest后跟doing sth； appeal to sb to do sth “呼吁某人做某事”，排除AB选项。而persuade 不和strongly搭配，故答案选C。
    小题5:. D动词辨析。A. supposed猜想，认为；B. concerned 关心，关注；C. wanted想要；D. expected期望，预计。前句话建议家长不要无休止的去盘问孩子，后面解释不能这样做的原因是孩子们可能会突然变得激动起来，be expected to do“预计，预料”，故答案选D。
    小题6:.D动词辨析。 A. Ignore忽略，忽视；B. Ask问；C. Escape逃脱；D. Avoid避免。从下文内容可知专家建议家长要委婉地提出问题，不要直接去问，选D。

    小题8:.B 连词辨析。A. unless除非；B. because因为；C. if 如果；D. when当……时候。在上文提到家长应该如何和孩子进行交流，下文内容是关于这样做的原因，前后是因果关系，故答案选B。
    小题9:.C 名词辨析。A. thought   想法，念头；B. understanding理解；C. conversation 对话；D. saying俗语。根据空前listening可知此处是指在谈话中的倾听艺术，答案选C。
    小题10:.A名词辨析。A. response反应，回应；B. love  爱；C. news新闻；D. attitude态度。根据语境可知当家长打断孩子去询问自己关心的问题时孩子们可能不会对此做出反应，故答案选A。
    小题11:.A动词短语辨析。 A. fit into 适合，安装；B. put into放入；C. object to反对；D. respond to做出回应。根据情理可知孩子们在长大的过程中，想去发现如何适应社会，其他不符合语境，故答案选A。
    小题12:D动词辨析。A. examine   检查； B. teach教授； C. enjoy 喜欢，享受；D. express表达。从后句话内容this is their way of telling you …..可知这是孩子们自己的表达方式，故答案选D。
    小题13:.A 名词辨析。A. day天；B. future未来；C. failures   失败；D. studies学习。根据上文内容可知家长们关心孩子一天是如何度过的，其他选项片面，故答案选A。
    小题14:. C形容词辨析。A. Exciting令人兴奋的；B. Disappointing令人失望的；C. Shocking令人震惊的； D. Frightening令人害怕的。从but believe it 可知在下文中作者提出的“孩子们的叛逆行为是要求独立和反对家长管制的表现”是让人们感到吃惊的说法，选C。                
    :小题15:.B动词辨析。 A. fighting打斗； B. struggling   挣扎，奋斗； C. concerning关心；D. pushing推。根据上文内容可知孩子们尽管有时候对父母态度不好，但是他们是深爱父母的，所以他们的行为是在父母的权威和要求独立之间的一种挣扎，选B.
    小题16:.B动词短语辨析。 A. carrying on with 继续；B. holding on to 坚持；C. keeping up with赶上； D. keeping out of。由上文内容可知处在青春期的孩子们要求独立，不希望父母的过度关心，但是他们又从小听从父母，所以到了叛逆期他们处在是否继续听从父母还是按自己意愿行事的矛盾中，故答案选B。
    小题17:. C名词辨析。A. Worries担心；B. Conversations谈话；C. Topics话题；D. Questions问题。根据like后列举的内容可知此处指谈话的话题，故答案选C。
    小题18:.A名词辨析。 A. parties 政党，一方(当事人)；B. people  人们；C. members   成员；D. families家庭；根据上下文可知此处both是指孩子和父母双方，故答案选A。

    Human civilization has truly come a long way．From using animals for transport to the super fast automobiles that we have today．From using flint to making fire to using one touch lighters．But there are some things that we will never let go of．Some ancient traditions that have been brought down through the ages are still followed today．

    Groundhog Day is celebrated in some parts of the USA and Canada．The largest celebration is held at Punxsutawney，Pennsylvania．People come in scores to visit Punxsutawney Phil．They wait eagerly, camping days in advance，to see the small groundhog appear from his burrow，check for his shadow and either go back in or stay out．People cheer when they hear it is time for winter to end and celebrate by eating sweets and singing and dancing．Today．the Groundhog Day is a widespread tradition and an exciting event．

    An older friend once gave me a piece of advice，“Enjoy the last few weeks of college，” she said，“since college is the best time of your life.”
    This was not the first time I’d heard such a statement，but with graduation fast coming close，her words especially struck me.It seemed a bit disappointing to reach one’s life peak at only 22 years of age，but in her opinion，college had been one of the best times in my life so far.I made friends，took classes，and learned a great deal about myself.But I was also excited for the time after college—moving to a new city，starting a new job，and becoming a “real” person.I hoped that my great dreams were practical.
    Then，last week I read a column in Real Simple Magazine called 100 Years of Attitude，in which women 100 years or older shared their life experiences and views.I noticed that none of them considered college as the “best” time of their life.Not all of them went to college，but still in most cases their teens and twenties were not the best times of their life.They said some of their favorite times were raising their children，traveling after retirement，and even enjoying their present time and age.
    Enjoying one’s present time and age was a clear theme of the interviews.A piece of advice given by the women was about the importance of making the best of all situations.I think it more accurate than that of my friend；I can say with certainty that if I am lucky enough to make it to 100.I refuse to spend the last 80 years of my life plummeting (跌落) downhill，or even leveling off.
    I am sure that our eagerness and devotion will make us college students live a meaningful life.We will not just look backwards or miss our college days.We will look forward in excitement about continued journey uphill.
    小题1:Which of the following opinions does the writer agree with?
    A．College is the best time of one’s life.
    B．Twenties were the best time of the old people.
    C．One should make the best of all situations.
    D．One should not look backwards at their college time.
    小题2:In the second paragraph，the writer wants to say________.
    A．her achievements in college would be the peak of her success
    B．she is looking forward to living as a “real” person in college
    C．she becomes more and more uneasy with graduation
    D．she is satisfied with the college life but is hopeful for the future
    小题3:The column the writer read is mainly about those old women’s________.
    A．best time of life at youth
    B．life experiences and views
    C．different opinions about life
    D．favorite time with best friends
    小题4:By saying “I refuse to spend the last 80 years of my life plummeting downhill，or even leveling off” (in Paragraph 4)，the writer really means________.
    A．she will not spend the rest of her time at college
    B．she will not just obtain a college level certificate
    C．she will not be satisfied with what she has already accomplished
    D．she will not be content with the life in the future
    小题5:Which of the following words can be used to describe the writer?
    A．Ambitious.B．Practical.
    C．Imaginative.　　D．Proud.

    A popular student in her small high school, Katie started college, expecting to do well in her courses and be best friends with her roommates. But things didn’t turn out that way. Psych 101, the course she thought would be a first-semester favorite, turned out to be a struggle.
    Living away from home tends to be the toughest adjustment for first-year students. You may feel homesick in your first weeks or months. It can help to call, write, or email your parents and friends, making them know how you’re going. You can also talk with your roommates. As first-year students themselves, they’re probably experiencing many of the same fears and worries that you’re dealing with .
    But what if you don’t get along well with your roommates?
    In some cases, it can be a good thing if you and your roommates aren’t much alike. Different views on things may be helpful, so respect your differences no matter what.
    If you and your roommates don’t get along well, it can help to find someone who you feel does understand you, which should be easy on a campus with so many people. Many schools have student organization nights where all of the campus clubs gather and promote their organizations, so you can meet people with the same interests there as you. You’ll also meet tons of people in class or in your dorm building.
    As homesickness, painful throats, sprained (扭伤的) ankles and wisdom teeth that act up are common among college students, you should check out your student guidebook or your school’s website to find out information about the university health center.
    If you think you cannot deal with your problems, make a stop at the school counseling (咨询)center. First-year troubles are something the counselors know well. You can get help there.
    小题1:From Paragraph 1 we can infer that __________.
    A．Katie had been worried about the changes before starting her college life.
    B．Katie felt satisfied when her college life started.
    C．Katie wasn’t used to the new environment in college at first.
    D．Katie has fallen behind in her study after the first semester in college.
    小题2:What’s the author’s first suggestion on dealing with homesickness?
    A．Adjust to it gradually.
    B．Never share fears with your parents.
    C．Talk to your roommates about it.
    D．Get along with your roommates.
    小题3:Which of the following ways of dealing with roommates is RIGHT?
    A．Not trying to change them.
    B．Avoid making friends with them.
    C．Developing the same interest as them.
    D．Not talking with them.
    小题4:From the passage, we can know that_________
    A．It’s easy for the first-year students to adapt to the college life.
    B．First-year students can get along well with roommates quickly.
    C．The university center can only help the first-year students solve problems.
    D．The school counseling center is familiar with the problems the first-year students face.
    小题5:What’s the main idea of the text?
    A．Freshmen may meet many problems.
    B．Communication is important in college.
    C．How you can adjust to your first year in college.
    D．How schools help freshmen to get used to college life.

    Most damagingly, anger weakens a person’s ability to think clearly and keep control over his behaviour. The angry person loses objectivity in evaluating the emotional significance of the person or situation that arouses his anger.
    Not everyone experiences anger in the same way; what angers one person may amuse another. The specific expression of anger also differs from person to person based on biological and cultural forces. In contemporary culture, physical expressions of anger are generally considered too socially harmful to be tolerated. We no longer regard duels (决斗) as an appropriate expression of anger resulting from one person’s awareness of insulting behaviour on the part of another.
    Anger can be identified in the brain, where the electrical activity changes. Under most conditions EEG (脑电图) measures of electrical activity show balanced activity between the right and left prefrontal (额叶前部) areas. Behaviourally this corresponds to the general even-handed disposition (意向) that most of us possess most of the time. But when we are angry the EEG of the right and left prefrontal areas aren’t balanced and, as a result of this, we’re likely to react. And our behavioural response to anger is different from our response to other emotions, whether positive or negative.
    Most positive emotions are associated with approach behaviour: we move closer to people we like. Most negative emotions, in contrast, are associated with avoidance behaviour: we move away from people and things that we dislike or that make us anxious. But anger is an exception to this pattern. The angrier we are, the more likely we are to move towards the object of our anger. This corresponds to what psychologists refer to as of ensive anger: the angry person moves closer in order to influence and control the person or situation causing his anger. This approach-and-confront behaviour is accompanied by a leftward prefrontal asymmetry (不对称) of EEG activity. Interestingly, this asymmetry lessens if the angry person can experience empathy (同感) towards the individual who is bringing forth the angry response. In defensive anger, in contrast, the EEG asymmetry is directed to the right and the angry person feels helpless in the face of the anger-inspiring situation.
    小题1:The “duels” example in Paragraph 2 proves that the expression of anger ________.
    A．usually has a biological basis
    B．varies among people
    C．is socially and culturally shaped
    D．influences one’s thinking and evaluation
    小题2:What changes can be found in an angry brain?
    A．Balanced electrical activity can be spotted.
    B．Unbalanced patterns are found in prefrontal areas.
    C．Electrical activity corresponds to one’s behaviour.
    D．Electrical activity agrees with one’s disposition.
    小题3:Which of the following is typical of offensive anger?
    A．Approaching the source of anger.
    B．Trying to control what is disliked.
    C．Moving away from what is disliked.
    D．Feeling helpless in the face of anger.
    小题4:What is the key message of the last paragraph?
    A．How anger differs from other emotions.
    B．How anger relates to other emotions.
    C．Behavioural responses to anger.
    D．Behavioural patterns of anger.

    Research shows that much of  our predisposition (倾向) towards determination, sociability and self­control and sense of purpose is in our genes. In  fact, our DNA plays a bigger role in influencing these traits (characteristics) than our upbringing (儿童期的教养) and the company we keep.  Taken together, these aspects of personality can make the difference between success and failure, say the Edinburgh University researchers.
    They questioned more than 800 pairs of twins about  their attitudes to life to tease apart the influences of nature  and nurture. Comparing identical twins, who share all their  DNA and their upbringing, with non­identical twins, who  have a shared background but are no more genetically alike  than other brothers and sisters, is a technique often used  by researchers to quantify the influence of genetics.
    The results, published in the Journal of Personality,  showed that genes play a much bigger role than lifestyle,  with self­control particularly etched (铭刻) into our DNA.
    Our genes also largely determine how determined and persistent we are. This is important in terms of success, as someone who refuses to give up is more likely to achieve their dreams than someone_who_throws_in_the_towel_at_the_first_hiccough.
    Researcher Professor Timothy Bates said, “Ever since the ancient Greeks, people have debated the nature of a good life and the nature of a virtuous life. Why do some people seem to manage their lives, have good relationships and cooperate to achieve their goals while others do not? Previously, the role of family and the environment around the home often controlled people's ideas about what affected psychological well­being. However, this work emphasizes a much more powerful influence from genetics.”
    However, those who haven't been dealt a helpful hand of genes shouldn't be too depressed. The professor says a sense of purpose is the key and advises those who are eager for success to focus their thoughts on making a difference.
    小题1:What does the result of the research indicate?
    A．Our DNA is the only factor to decide our traits.
    B．Our DNA plays a decisive role in achieving success.
    C．Education plays little part in the formation of our character.
    D．Society has little effect on us in our personality.
    小题2:The underlined part in Paragraph 4 refers to someone   who ________.
    A．is born successful
    B．determines to make a difference
    C．makes great effort
    D．admits defeat easily
    小题3:Timothy Bates mentions the ancient Greeks in order to   indicate that ________.
    A．some people can live a good life because they can manage their lives
    B．people haven't made it clear yet what is the key personality trait to be a success
    C．in ancient Greece the role of family and the environment was ignored
    D．the relationship between personality and success has always been people's concern
    小题4:According to the passage, the key personality trait is ________.
    A．determination　　　　　　B．kindness
    C．politenessD．sociability
    小题5:What is the best title for the passage?
    A．How do people work hard?
    B．Why can some people succeed?
    C．DNA determines success or failure.
    D．Several factors determine personality.

    Getting a good education is more important today than ever before. It is the best thing you can do to build a better future for your children and yourself.
    Most children in Canada attend public schools. Public schools are completely founded by governments through tax (税收) income. Boys and girls attend the same school and share the same courses and classes. Schooling in Canada is provided in English and in French.
    The rest of Canadian children attend private schools，which are supported mainly by fees (费) paid directly by parents. Some private schools enroll (招收) only boys or girls.
    By law，children must attend school from age 5 to 16.Children are usually in school between 8：30 or 9：00 a．m.，and 3：00 or 4：00 p．m.Monday through Friday，from September to the middle of June. There are several different levels in the Canadian education system. The first is called Elementary Schools. In most provinces Elementary Schools include Kindergarten through Grade 7 or 8.
    From Grade 8 or 9 through 12 or 13，children go to Secondary School or High School. High School students must take certain courses for several years，such as English or French and mathematics. Some courses help students get a job after they graduate from school. Other courses prepare students for college or university. In Canada，teenagers usually make these choices for themselves，with the advice of their teachers，guidance counselor (指导教师) and parents.
    Schools usually offer extra activities at the end of the normal school day. These include sports，games，music and clubs.
    Most elementary and high schools encourage parents to take part in school activities. Parents' nights are organized from time to time. These are chances for parents to discuss their children's progress with teachers. You may wish to bring a friend with you.

    Did you know that there are actually people who have paid for a flight to the moon? In the future, there will be a lot more opportunities to travel to faraway places than now… perhaps even as far as the moon. As people adventure further and further away and as planes, trains, cars, and rocket ships become faster, is it safer to have these vehicles controlled by humans or by computers?
    While many flights by plane are controlled automatically by machines, most people today wouldn’t let their car drive itself. That’s because currently the autopilot function on your car can only keep it on the same course you are travelling on. It won’t turn the car right or left. It won’t stop if an animal jumps in the way. However, cars today can sense when something is too close and warn the driver with flashing lights and alarms. Many cars also have GPS（global positioning systems） that tell drivers which road to take and when to turn. These systems, unlike human drivers, never get lost. In the future, it is easy to believe that your car will be better able to drive itself with the aid of computers that can determine the position of your car and the speed it should travel at.
    In addition to computers being ‘smarter’ than people regarding the best way to go or knowing how close another vehicle is, computers don’t get sick, tired, or angry. This means they won’t make the same mistakes that people make when they are not having a good day. While responding with emotion is a good thing when choosing the best way to deal with a friend’s personal problem, it may not be such a good thing when deciding what to do at the wheel of a fast-moving vehicle.
    So what are the disadvantages of autopilot systems? Maybe one disadvantage is that a small computer problem could cause a serious accident. It could also be argued that in unexpected situations, computers might not be able to respond appropriately; some decisions require human emotions. Another problem might be that if everything were controlled by computers or robots, people wouldn’t have any jobs.
    小题1:What is the best title for the passage?
    A．The Development of Autopilot
    B．Technology of Future Travel
    C．A New Driving System
    D．Computerized Cars
    小题2:Which of the following is the disadvantage of an autopilot system?
    A． It won’t make the same mistakes as people do.
    B． It can point out the best route for the driver.
    C． It might not respond properly to unexpected situations.
    D．It does not have human emotions to influence its function.
    小题3:If some falling rocks roll down toward your car, the autopilot on your car will_______.
    A．inform you of the danger
    B．turn the car right or left
    C．do nothing about it
    D．stop the car
    小题4:What’s the author’s attitude towards the autopilot?
    A．Approving.B．Objective.C．Negative.D．Doubtful.
