14-year-old Euteni答案解析

"Tom? Are you in bed yet?" called Mrs White. There was no answer. Mrs White put down her book and went to her 14-year-old son's room. Tom was sitting in front of a bright computer screen on which a colourful dragon jumped and shouted.

I don't have to worry about any infected（感染） disks because I have a virus（病毒） detector (探测器) which can go over any disk and check it for viruses. Let me show you!" Tom began tapping. The screen changed in answer to his orders.

    "Oh, Tom," laughed Mrs White. "I'm sure it's a wonderful computer, but I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about."

Chen Jie, 14, from Ningbo, Zhejiang is a lucky girl. She got 3600 yuan as gift money this Spring Festival. However, her grandmother took away all the money and put it in a bank account.
Many students experienced the same thing as Chen. They got their gift money, only to immediately have it taken away.
Xiong Shengyue, 14, from Nanjing, doesn't agree with the practice. "I think the money should be the children's, " she said. " We should take care of it by ourselves."
It is not that simple, said Chu Chaohui, a researcher at national Institute of Education Sciences.
Giving gift money is used to show social status (地位)and develop relationships, he told Beijing Legal Evening News. Gift money has lost its traditional meaning of good will and has "little to do with the children". What's more, children don't earn the money through work. So he thought that parents should still play a big part in dealing with the money.
But Yan Honglan, a mother of a 14-year-old boy in Beijing, has let her son be responsible (承担责任的)for his gift money since the age of 8. "I want to develop his financial(理财) skills, ' Yan said.
She also added:"No matter how you deal with the money, the most important thing is to make the children feel they're respected(尊重) and trusted.
Chen supported Yan's idea. She said that though she knew her grandmother wouldn't waste her gift money, she would feel happier if she could at least know how the money is spent.
"It would make me feel a little bit more grown-up," she said.
【小题1】Chen Jie’s grandmother ________.

A．took away all her money and put it in a bank	B．let her take care of all her money
C．gave all her money to her parents	D．spent all her money

【小题2】 Chu Chaohui thought the gift money should be dealed with by _________

A．children

【小题3】Yan Honglan thought___________ is the most important thing.

A．to make children feel a little bit more grown-up

B．to take care of the gift money by themselves

C．to put the gift money in a bank account

D．to make the children feel they're respected and trusted.

【小题4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Chen Jie got 3600 yuan as reward this Spring Festival.

B．Xiong Shengyue thought children should take care of the gift money.

C．Chu Chaohui thought parents shouldn’t play a big party in dealing with the money.

D．Yan Honglan has let her son be responsible for his gift money since the age of 9.

Young people may have problems with their minds. Some students become  1 because they have to study very hard. Others have trouble in  2 ___ on well with people like their parents and classmates.
Jiu, a second-year junior student  3 Fujian, could not understand his teacher and was doing  4 in his lesson. He became so worried about it  5 he started to cut his fingers(手指) with a knife.
Another student, 14-year-old , from Guangzhou, was  6 of exams. She got very worried , and  7 she looked at the exam paper, she couldn’t think of ___8_ to write.
Many students won’t ask for help. Some think they will look stupid if they go to see a  9 . Others don’t want to talk about their secrets.
An expert on teenagers has the following  10 for teens:
Talk  to your parents or teachers often.
Take part in group activities and play sports.
Go to see a doctor if you feel unhappy or unwell.

Top student Liu Weijian had a problem recently. The 14-year-old from Xiamen used to get marks of over 110 points (out of 120 points) on his math tests. ①But during last semester’s final exams, his math score was only 90 points.

    “I didn’t know what happened,” said Liu, who kept feeling nervous and frustrated about math during the following month.

    Like Liu, many of us experience setbacks (挫折) in life. ②你会怎样应对这些挫折呢？ Would you just let them be and give up?

    Liu chose to face his problem. His parents and teacher also gave him help. After some hard work, he now gets marks between 100 and 110 points on his math tests. “Don’t be afraid of setbacks,” he said. “You will beat them.”

    Guo Xingjuan in Shenzhen also has a story to tell. The 15-year-old girl is not good at doing sit-ups (仰卧起坐), ③which is necessary for the coming high school P.E. entrance test (体育中考). One has to do at least 35 sit-ups in a minute to pass the test. However, she could only do 20.

    Feeling worried, Guo decided to do something. She did sit-ups for half an hour every day after school. Now, after a month, she can do 30 sit-ups a minute. “I finally found what made me slow through practice, and then I improved the skill little by little,” said Guo. “I believe next month I will be able to do 40!”

Children who spend more time reading with their parents have a greater chance of becoming better readers than those who don’t. With the help from their parents, children can learn techniques to improve their reading skills.
“A lot of parents think after their child learns to read, they should stop reading to them,” Donna George said. “They are sadly mistaken.”
George offers her services to parents at the Title I Learning Centers. She said reading aloud to children may be the most valuable thing parents can do. “It is better for children to hear things at a higher level than where they are,” George said. “Parents are their child’s first teacher.” Parents help their children build listening, phonics, comprehension and vocabulary skills when they read aloud to them.
Before parents can identify reading problems, they should escape the enemy
—television and limit the time their children spend watching television. George suggested not allowing kids to have a TV in their bedrooms, setting a schedule of when kids can watch or keeping a list of how many programs children watch. Louise Joines said while her 14-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son enjoy reading, the television sometimes becomes a distraction. So she tries to build the situation by suggesting books the entire family will enjoy reading together, like the Harry Potter series.
Parents who do not read themselves should not count on their children being interested in it. If parents would read to their children at least 15 minutes every day, children would not have so many problems in school. It is the parents’ job to help build that desire in their children, and of course to know what kind of books to read is also important.
【小题1】According to George, reading aloud to children_______________.

A．helps them correct mistakes

B．is helpful to their reading

C．is parents’ first duty to their children

D．can get children out of television’s attraction

【小题2】The underlined word (in Paragraph 4 ) means something that_________

A．can improve children’s reading

B．can help children’s right way of reading

C．can make children interested in reading

D．can make children not attentive

【小题3】Which of the following is important according to the fourth paragraph?

A．Reading skills.	B．Reading speed.
C．Reading materials.	D．Reading environment.

【小题4】If the passage is not completed, which of the following can follow the fifth
paragraph?

A．Parents choose reading materials for their children.

B．Advice is given to control their children.

C．What TV programs children can watch during reading.

D．How children improve their reading by themselves.

【小题5】 Which one would be the best title for the passage?

A．Children Spend More Time Reading with Parents.

B．Parents Are Their Child's First Teacher.

C．How Parents Make Their Child a Better Reader.

D．How to Improve Children's Reading Ability.

Most people work or study from Monday to Friday. The weekend is usually a time of rest. But today's Chinese teenagers can hardly rest during the weekends.

According to a survey, 24% of the Grade 8 students in Beijing have classes at the weekend. Over 40% of the middle school students have less than eight hours’ sleep each night because of study.

And this isn't only in Beijing. Ji Chunying is a Grade 9 student in Guangzhou. The 14-year-old girl has to get up at 6:45 am on Saturday. Then she has a whole day of classes. On Sunday, she goes to extra classes for math and physics.

But Ji doesn't complain. She says her classmates all work very hard.

Finding time to have fun

Zhao Yang, 13, is from Dalian, Liaoning. As a Grade 8 student, Zhao's weekend is less busy. But he still spends Saturday in school. On Sunday, after finishing homework, he plays basketball. "I feel happy because I still have time to do the things I like," he said.

Some students are much luckier. They don't have to go to school on the weekend.

Ding Yi, a Grade 8 student from Laiwu, Shandong, is one of them. And she's a top student.

During the weekend, Ding usually gets up at 8 am. Then she spends some time doing homework. After that she is free to go shopping or watch TV.

Ding said her mother once wanted her to try extra classes. But when they asked Ding's teacher about it, the teacher said it was unnecessary.

"My teacher said I don't need to push myself too much. Learning well at school is enough," Ding said. "I feel pretty lucky."

Jia Meng used to keep a diary (日记) in Chinese. But one year ago, the 14-year-old girl from Hei Longjiang began to write her diary in English, because Jia found her mother was reading her diary secretly. She changed the language because her mother can’t read English. “It’s like killing two birds with one stone.” said Jia, “My privacy (隐私) became safe and my English improves a lot.”
Jia’s mother is not the only mom who reads her child’s diary. Recently, Renmin University of China had a national survey among over 2, 3000 parents. The results show that  40% of parents read their children’s secrets. That’s why, like Jia, many teenagers try to find ways to protect(保护) their privacy.
Wu Lei, 15, of Shanxi, keeps a diary, too. But he doesn’t write in on paper. He writes online which he thinks is perfectly safe because his parents “know nothing about the Internet.”
Lu Huan, 13, of Guangdong, said her parents always secretly listened to the talk between her friends and her on the telephone in their room. To solve this problem, Lu asked her parents to buy her a mobile phone.
“Parents want to know what is going on in their children’s lives,” said Shao Xiazhen, a teenage expert in Beijing. “ But sometimes they go about it the wrong way.” Shao suggested to teenagers that instead of hiding their secrets, talking to parents is a better solution. “If your parents know that you are safe, they’ll let you keep your secrets.”
根据短文内容，判断下列句子正误。正确的用“A”表示，不正确的用“B”表示。

Can you believe it? Let’s improve our public manners. (Mike, Shenzhen)
