    Fun is, in fact, a word heard far more frequently in families today than in the past, when "duty'' and "responsibility" were often the words used.

    Parents today are more youthful in appearance and attitudes. Their clothes and hair-styles are more casual, helping to bridge the divide. Those who are athletically inclined also enjoy Rollerblading, snowboarding, and rock-climbing with their children.

    For the past three years, Kathy and Phil Dalby have spent at least one evening a week at a climbing gym with their three children. "It's great to be able to work together," Mrs Dalby says. "We discuss various climbs and where the hard parts are. Sometimes that leads to other Conversations. We're definitely closer."

    A popular movement of parent effectiveness training in the 1970s has helped to reshape generational roles. The philosophy encourages children to describe their feelings about various situations. As a result, says Robert Billingham, a family-studies professor at Indiana University, "Parents and children began talking to each other in ways they had not before."

    On the plus side, he adds, these conversations made parents realize that children may have important thoughts or feelings that adults need to be aware of.

    But Professor Billingham also sees a downside: Many parents started making decisions based on what their child wanted. "The power shifted to children. Parents said, 'I have to focus on making my child happy', as opposed to 'I have to act as a parent most appropriately'."

    Other changes are occurring as the ranks of working mothers grow.  Time-short parents encourage children's independence, making them more responsible for themselves. "They'll say, 'We trust you to make the right decisions' (whether they're ready to assume the responsibility or not) ,"says Billingham.

    The self-esteem movement of the past quarter-century has also affected the family dynamics (原动力). Some parents worry that if they tell their child no, it will hurt the child's self-esteem.

    1.What's the trend in parent-child relationship mentioned in the passage?

    A．Parents are chasing after fashion and ignoring the feelings of their children.

    B．More parents and children are sharing the same enthusiasm for a certain sport.

    C．Parents are taking more responsibility and setting more limits for their children.

    D．The generation gap is narrowing and parents are respecting their children's thoughts more.

    2.Which of the following has NOT contributed to the change in the parent-child relationship?

    A．Younger parents.

    B．Parent effectiveness training.

    C．More working mothers.

    D．The self-esteem movement.

    3. What's Billingham's attitude towards parents who make children more responsible for themselves?

    A．He supports them.

    B．He admires them.

    C．He disagrees with them.

    D．He thinks they're unreasonable.

    4.What will probably be discussed following the last paragraph?

    A．The effect of more working mothers on children' s education.

    B．The benefits of the new relationship between parents and children.

    C．The importance of self-esteem and ways to develop children's self-esteem.

    D．The risks of setting no rules and some suggestions on how to have a balanced attitude.

    5.What's the best title for the text?

    A．Parents and Children as Friends.

    B．Parents and Professors as Debaters.

    C．Growing Mutual Understanding.

    D．Disappearing Responsibility.

    Why should I teach my children history? That sounds like a stupid question to even ask. But, as I hear different home schooling teachers discuss history, I get the idea that there may be different reasons for teaching history. Let me briefly explain the three good reasons for studying history and two bad reasons for studying history.

    The major reason I see for studying history is that we can learn from the past. I am convinced that the world would be a much better place if more people understood the successes and failures of the past and the things that made these successes and failures. However, as the unfortunately true statement goes “the one thing we seem to learn from history is that we don’t seem to learn from history ”. Perhaps at least in teaching history, to my children I can do a small part in changing this.

    A second major reason for studying history is that it is hard to understand the current political climate in the absence of an understanding of its historical context. We can not even understand who we are and where we are without history, much less try to figure out where we are going or how we should get where we want to be.

    I teach my children history, for one more reason. I purchased a set of historical audio tapes for our children. My seven-year-old son listened to them over and over. It was my hope that he would become inspired by the accomplishments of people like the Wright brothers to accomplish things by himself. I think that it is good that we celebrate the accomplishments of people like Martin Luther King Jr. In doing so, young people are called on to stand for the principles that he stood for and accomplish what he accomplished. I also think that by studying people like Adolph Hitler, people can learn to stand against the things that he stood for.(325words)

    1. What message can we get from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2?

    A. Many people aren’t clever enough to learn well from the past.

    B. Many people fail to make good use of history and make the same mistakes.

    C. Many people feel it hard to understand history.

    D. Many people have no interest in studying history.

    2. Some historical figures （人物）are mentioned in the last paragraph to show_____.

    A. people can be inspired to do good, while also learning to fight against evil

    B. people may also learn from bad historical figures

    C. more celebrations should be held to honor their achievements

    D. today’s people can also achieve what they achieved

    3.What would be talked about in the following paragraph?

    A. How to teach history effectively.         

    B. Some negative reasons for studying history.

    C. How to get more people to study history.  

    D. Some bad historical figures.

    Jamie Oliver has been invited by Gordon Brown to prepare a banquet at No．10 for President Barack Obama and other leaders of the G20, offering a cut-price menu to reflect times when trade and industry are far from prosperous and the rate of employment is decreasing.

    Downing Street sources say Oliver, the well-known chef, will cook using "honest high-street products" and avoid expensive or "fancy" ingredients.

    The prime minister is trying to avoid a repeat of the embarrassment last year when he sat down to an 18-course banquet at a Japanese summit to discuss world food shortages．

    Obama, President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany and other leaders will be served by apprentices （学徒） from Fifteen, the London restaurant Oliver founded to help train young people in poverty in order to make a living by mastering a skill.

    Brown wants the dinner to reflect the emphasis of the London summit, which he hopes will lead to an agreement to lift the world out of recession．"To be invited to cook for such an important group of people, who are trying to solve some of the world's major problems, is really a privilege," said Oliver.

    "I'm hoping the menu I'm working on will show British food and produce is some of the best in the world, but also show we have pioneered a high-quality apprentice scheme at Fifteen London that is giving young people a skill to be proud of."

    The chef has not yet finalized me menu, but is expected to draw inspiration from his latest book, Jamie's Ministry of Food, which has budget recipes for beef and ale stew （啤酒炖菜） and "impressive" chocolate fudge cake. (286 words)

         Science can't explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure (血压) and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.

         Any owner will tall you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress (紧张) levels and blood pressure in people - half of them pet owners –while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice water. Subjects completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. It seems people feel more relaxed (放松)around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets don't judge.

         A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program. On average, people lost about I1 pounds, or 5% of their body weight. Their dogs did even better, losing an average of 12 pounds, more than 15% of their body weight. Dog owners didn't lose any more weight than those without dogs but, say researchers, got more exercise overall-mostly with their dogs - and found it worth doing.

    1．What does the text mainly discuss?

        A．What pets bring to their owners.

        B．How pets help people calm down.

        C．People's opinions of keeping pets.

        D．Pet's value in medical research.

    2．We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well if

        A．he has a pet companion

        B．he has less stress of work

        C．he often does mental arithmetic

        D．he is taken care of by his family

    3．According to Allen, why did the people do better with pets around when facing stressful tasks?

        A．They have lower blood pressure.

        B．They become more patient.

        C．They are less nervous.

        D．They are in higher spirits.

    4．The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports that

        A．people with dogs did more exercise

        B．dogs lost the same weight as people did

        C．dogs liked exercise much more than people did

        D．people without dogs found the program unhelpful
