         It's no secret that the world has become a very fastpaced place. Free time has been replaced by
    cyber (网络的) time to the point where my family feels the need to comment on my presence at the
    dinner table. With all these options and distractions (使人分心的事) it can be hard to spend quality
    time with the people you love.
         My Dad and I have always worked around this. Over years we've learned how to watch in silence
    while enjoying each other's company and by now we know what to comment on during the commercials.
         Once we were watching one of our favourite shows. At the commercial he turned to me and asked
    if I liked going to school.
         I thought about the question for a few moments before admitting that I did.
         "Do you look forward to going?"
         This question seemed easier to answer, but I thought it over.
         "Not all the time. Sometimes, there are classes that I dread. But then there are people I want to see
    or things I want to do, so I guess it evens out."
         Dad nodded.
         "You see these characters on the show? They like going to work. They look forward to it. They are
    so idealistic that they go to work every day, believing they can change the world. That's why we like to
    watch them."
         I thought about what he was saying.
         "Do you look forward to going to work?" I asked.
         Dad paused.
         "I honestly don't think about it. It's not something I anticipate or dread. It's just something that I do.
    I always looked forward to going to school, though. I wanted to learn. Now that I think about it, when
    I first started working I did look forward to it. That's what's important. Do something that you enjoy
    doing. Do something that you will look forward to. Otherwise, what's the point?"
         Now I have learned that sometimes it's not the length of the talk that's important but what's said during
    the talk. It is still possible to have quality time during a commercial break.
    1. The father quoted the characters on the show to say that a person should have ________. 
    A. dream     
    B. belief
    C. doubt                              
    D. love
    2. According to the passage, why doesn't the boy want to go to school?
    A. He is afraid of being made fun of.                  
    B. He has something important to do.
    C. He loses interest in some classes.                    
    D. He falls behind other classmates.
    3. The underlined word "point" means ________.  
    A. mark              
    B. topic
    C. lesson            
    D. goal
    4. What's the main idea of this passage? 
    A. Children can have quality time with their parents.
    B. Children feel happy when talking with parents.
    C. Parents and children can enjoy the same TV show.
    D. Children are unwilling to stay with their parents.

    三、阅读理解：
    It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problems and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships.
    I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.
    Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.
    Sometimes you are resistant and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do. If they did approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog: you can’t win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents’ control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.
    If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be part of that plan. You can charm others, especially parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.
    36. The author is primarily addressing _______.
    A. parents of teenagers              B. newspaper readers.
    C. those who give advice to teenagers  D. teenagers
    37. The first paragraph is mainly about _______.
    A. the teenagers’ criticism of their parents.
    B. misunderstanding between teenagers and their parents.
    C. the dominance of the parents over their children
    D. the teenagers’ ability to deal with crises.
    38. Teenagers tend to have strange clothes and hairstyles because they ______.
    A. want to show their existence by creating a culture of their own.
    B. have a strong desire to be leaders in style and taste.
    C. have no other way to enjoy themselves better.
    D. want to irritate their parents.
    39. To improve parent-child relationships, teenagers are advised to be _____.
    A. obedient    B. responsible   C. co-operative   D. independent.

         It is really possible to be bored to death,scientists have found.Researchers say that

    than those who are satisfied with their life.

    _find_outside_interests_to_keep_off_boredom,rather_than_turn_to_drinking_or_smoking."
         A scientist said those who are bored should try to be happier by thinking more about the

         It's easy to see how the sawfish got its name. These frightful creatures can grow to be more
    than 6 meters long. Their bodies are flat and winged, like underwater airplanes. And their noses
    are shaped like chainsaws.
         Sawfish are food hunters of the sea. When a sawfish is hungry, it waves its sharptoothed snout
    (口鼻部) through a group of fish. Then, it lifts its nose and uses its mouth to draw the injured victims.
         Hardy (适应力强的) population of sawfish thrived in warm waters along coastlines around the
    world for thousands of years. Over the past 200 years, however, human actions have severely
    endangered sawfish. Threats include fishing nets that trap the huge animals, often by mistake.
         Some people collect sawfish's snouts as prizes: One snout recently sold for nearly $1,600 online.
    In some Asian cultures, the toothy snouts are used in ceremonies to drive evil and disease away. And
    sawfish are also delicious. A growing demand in Asia for the fish's fins for a pricey soup has contributed
    to the fish's disappearance. Compared with other fish, sawfish give birth late in life and at slow rates,
    which makes it hard for them to recover from overfishing.
         New efforts now aim to restore sawfish population. Beginning next month, an international agreement
    will provide protection for all seven of the world's sawfish species. Scientists are hoping that it's not too
    late to save the sawfish.
         "Until 1998, this fish had never been formally studied in the United States," says Tonya Wiley of the
    Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, FIA."We didn't know such basic things as where they live, what
    habitat they use, how often they breed, how many young they have- even what age sawfish are when
    they begin breeding."
         Through historical studies and field research, scientists have become aware of how much the fish's
    numbers have decreased. Today, there may be 90 percent fewer sawfish than there used to be. Wiley
    estimates that only 3,000 to 6,000 sawfish remain in US waters.
                                                                    Sawfish
