Fay: Thanks!

Why do young adult children become independent so much later than they did in 1970，when the average age of independent living was 21? Why have reduced class sizes and increased per-pupil expenditures (花销）not  13   higher academic achievement levels? Why is the mental health of today’s kids so poor when   14   with that of children in the 1960s and before? Why do today’s  15   become defensive when told by teachers that their children have misbehaved in school?

The answer in two words: parental   16   . Those two words best summarize the   17   between “old” child raising and new, post-1960s parenting. Then, the overall philosophy was that parents were not to be   18   involved with their kids. They were available   19   crisis, but they stood a (an)   20   distance from their kids and allowed them to experience the benefits of the trial-and-error process. It was the child’s   21  , back then, to keep his or her parents from getting involved. That was   22   children learned to be responsible and determined.

Today’s parents help their kids with almost everything. These are parents who are   23   when it comes to an understanding of their purpose in their kids，lives. Their involvement leads them to personalize everything that happens to their kids;   24  , the defensiveness. But given that schools and mental health professionals have been pushing parent involvement for nearly four decades, the confusion and defensiveness are   25   .

University researchers analyzed three decades of data relating to parent participation in children’s academics. Their conclusions   26   what I’ve been saying since the 1980s: parental help with homework   27   a child’s academic achievement and is not reflected on standardized tests.

Parents who manage a child’s social life interfere with the   28   of good social skills. Parents who manage a child’s after-school activities grow kids who don’t know how to   29   their own free time. Parents who get involved in their kids,   30   with peers grow kids who don’t know how to avoid much less trouble.

These kids have anxieties and fears of all sorts and don’t want to leave their   31  . And their parents, when the time comes, don’t know how to   32   being parents. You can imagine what will become of their future.

One day I visited an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was expecting a quiet  41  of the splendid artwork.

 A young  42  viewing the paintings ahead of me  43  nonstop between themselves. I watched them a moment and decided the lady was doing all the talking. I admired the man’s  44  for putting up with her  45  stream of words.  46  by their noise, I moved on.

 I met them several times as I moved  47  the various rooms of art. Each time I heard her continuous flow of words, I moved away  48 .

 I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a  49  when the couple approached the  50 . Before they left, the man  51  into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He  52  it into a long stick and then  53  his way into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket.

 “He’s a  54  man,” the clerk at the counter said. “Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. During his recovery, he made a promise his life wouldn’t change. So, as before, he and his wife come in  55  there is a new art show.”

 “But what does he get out of the art?” I asked. “He can’t see.”

 “Can’t see! You’re  56 . He sees a lot. More than you and I do,” the clerk said. “His wife   57   each painting so he can see it in his head.”

 I learned something about patience,  58  and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without  59  and the courage of a husband who would not  60  blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away, their arms intertwined(交缠).

   Humans have launched themselves into the outer space. They’ve landed on the moon. They’ve built habitable space stations that orbit the Earth. The next giant leap for mankind is to reach another planet – specifically, Mars.

   The problem is that it’s no easy task. The planet is 586 times further away from the Earth than the moon, and it’ll take around 180 to 220 days to reach Mars, depending on where each planet is in its orbit. Such long periods in space have suggested many potential health problems, including hormonal changes, skin conditions, and muscle and bone deterioration (损耗).

   Here’s where some furry friends come in. A wide range of animals have been in space, from fruit flies and spiders to cats, and dogs. Such experiments began as far back as the late 1940s in first tests to see if living things could withstand the extreme g-force (重力) of a rocket launch.

   Mice continue to play a very important part in space experiments, mainly because the animals make excellent test subjects. They’re small, which makes them inexpensive and easy to care for. In addition, their size and short life span make it possible to do the equivalent of several human years of tests in a much shorter time. Finally, because mice are mammals, they share many common characteristics with humans in terms of genetics, biology and behavior.

   Astromice have hit the headlines recently, as a team of scientists led by Betty Nusgens, professor of biology at the University of Liege in Belgium, found that the mice suffered a 15 percent thinning of their skin after 91 days aboard the International Space Station (ISS).

   This experiment was part of a wider NASA mission (任务) called the Mice Drawer System (MDS). The Italian Space Agency developed the facility, which allows six mice to be housed, monitored, and automatically fed and watered aboard the ISS, among which three survived during the mission.

  The mice have participated in 20 separate experiments, to study such effects as osteoporosis (骨质疏松症), anemia (贫血) and heart health.

   Results for the 20 experiments are coming in gradually. But it’s clear that mice continue to play an important role in the ongoing quest to conquer the final frontier.

32. We can infer from Paragraphs 2-3 that ______.

A. Mars is the farthest planet away from Earth discovered so far

B. animals that have been sent into space have mostly survived

C. it was in the late 1940s that animals were first sent to the ISS

D. the journey to Mars could put humans’ health at risk

33. The underlined word “withstand” in Para.3 means _________.

   A.set up             B. come across          C. work out    D. hold up

34. According to Betty Nusgens and her team, the mice aboard the ISS ______.

A. all survived for the duration(期间) of the mission

B. suffered the loss of part of their skin  

C. were fed and watered by the astronauts

D. participated in 20 experiments that made great breakthroughs

35.  The main purpose of the article is to _____.

A. analyze how mice could pave the way to Mars

B. report on the results of the Mice Drawer System

C. describe the role mice play in scientific research

D. change people’s traditional attitudes toward mice

Dear Jenny,

Now I’d like to tell you something about my part-time job this summer vacation, in that I worked as a guide in a travel agency.

The work was interesting but tired. I think it was helpful to work this holiday. It was the first time that I have earned money on my own. I’ll come to understand how hard my parents work to support for the family. I used to keep on ask them for money, but now I’ll never waste money and learn to share worries with my parent. I’ve learnt how to get along well with others. What’s worse, I’ve gained some working and social experience and I have learnt something can’t be learnt from textbooks. All these will be good for my future. In a word, I had the wonderful or valuable summer vacation.

There are a number of children's books that are designed to help children learn the difference among many wonderful colors that are in the world，and all of these books are designed to make it easy for children.

Pinkalicious

It is a story about a girl who eats many pink cupcakes one evening. The next morning, she wakes up and finds that she has not only pink hair, but pink skin! This fun story not only helps children to learn about many different shades(色度) and colors that are in the world and in their foods, but it also helps them to understand that, while sweets are a great pleasure, they have to eat healthy food regularly in order to stay healthy.

One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish

The book is a series of vignettes(小片段) told through Dr. Seuss rhymes, making them fun for parents to read and fun for children to hear. As it is related to colors, the book shows some of the classic colors, including, of course, red and blue! Once children learn about red and blue, they can then learn how to make purple.

Mouse Paint

In this tale，three mice learn a lot about colors and how much fun you can have with them. They don't settle for just painting with the colors, however, but insist on dipping their toes (脚趾) into the colors and creating new combinations from them，showing children what happens when they mix red and blue or yellow and red together.

How Do Dinosaurs Learn Their Colors?

This seemingly simplistic tale shows us how dinosaurs learn all about the different colors in the world through the items around them. Simple things teach the dinosaurs in the book what each color is. For instance, a purple towel that has been left on the floor shows both children and the dinosaurs what the color purple is.

21．The children's books mentioned in the passage are designed to ________．

      A．make children interested in reading

      B．improve children's reading ability

Kids with Special Needs

   Kids with special needs refer to any kid who might need extra help because of medical, emotional, or learning problems. For example, disabled kids need wheelchairs. They not only need the equipment that helps them get around, but they might need to have ramps(斜坡) or elevators available.    36      

Kids with an illness would have special needs, too.     37   Kids with sight problems might need Braille books to read. Kids with hearing problems might need hearing aids.

       38   It might be harder to do normal things—like learning to read or just getting around school. The good news is that parents, doctors, nurses, teachers, and others can help. The goal is to help kids be as independent as possible.

Other kids also can be a big help. How? By being a friend. Kids who use a wheelchair or have lots of health problems want friends just as you do. But meeting people and making friends can be difficult.   39

Be sure to tell a teacher if you see someone being bullied(欺侮) or teased.

       40   You might carry the person’s books or do something simple, such as asking him or her to join you and your friends at lunch. It’s also important not to be “overly helpful” when no help is needed. Why? Because just like you, kids with special needs like to be as independent as they can be.

Being friendly to kids with special needs is one of the best ways to be helpful. As you get to know, they may help you understand what it’s like to be in their shoes. And you’ll be helping fill a very special need, one that everybody has—the need for good friends.

A.Some kids might laugh at or make fun of them.

B.They also might need to get a special bus to school.

C.Life can be challenging for a kid with special needs.

D.It’s good manners to try to offer help to kids with special needs.

E.Also try to be helpful if you know someone with special needs.

F.Kids with special needs usually live a harder life than normal kids.

G.They might need medicine or other help as they go about their daily activities.

    If something that you’re doing doesn’t challenge you, then it doesn’t change you. We all need some normal stress in our lives, after all.  36  So challenge the following limits:

     1. Figure out what you are scared of and do it continuously.

     If you are a salesman, and you’re scared of talking to people personally or over the phone, now, instead of being scared and thinking you will fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call.  37   But don’t stop on the first try! Eventually, you can look at fear in the eyes and say, “ Go on, I’m not scared!”

     2. Take a class for a hobby you’ve been wanting to develop.

     Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career; you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing this.  38  Apart from helping you challenge yourself, taking a class for you hobby may also give you extra income.

     3. Set aside at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise.

     39   A simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders for yourself. Exercise can not only help you maintain your regular weight, but also make you feel better about yourself.

     4.  40

     Don’t just limit yourself to your fellow travelers---- try to connect with the service staff. You never know what kind of people they’re going to be. Get out of your house or go online right now to book you class. Start to travel now and learn to challenge yourself.

A.You should do it continuously.

B. You don’t need to go the gym.

C. Someone may make you disturbed.

D. Running in the gym may be a better choice.

E. Some examples might be cooking, sewing, painting and so on.

F. Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people.

G. You can never see any improvement if you stick to your comfort zone.

 By sending text message or chatting online, we have been in touch for months, but I have never met my new friend ________.

A. by accident                B. on purpose               C. in the flesh               D. in her absence

I queued ______ for four hours to buy tickets for this Sunday’s concert.

   A. up                             B. on                           C. of                            D. down

 ______ is no doubt that children ______ more easily to new environments than adults.

A. It; adopt           B. There; adjust     C. It; advocate            D. There; allocate

I love camping. It is my favorite way to spent the summer vacation. Last year, my family and I went camping in the countryside. It was one of the most excited experiences I had never had. We slept in a tent and went on a long walk every day. We cook over a fire and the food always tasted wonderfully.

For a whole week, I saw lovely mountain views or breathed fresh air. At night, I heard the gentle wind blowing in the tree, and I felt so peaceful. It doesn’t cost many to camp, and which I believe it’s the best way to get close nature and enjoy its beauty.

 It was when we were returning home 　　　I realized what a good feeling it was to have helped someone in trouble.

One day, little Tony went to a shopping center with his parent. It was very crowded. Tony saw a toy on a shop window. He liked it so very much that he quickly walked into the shop. After looks at the toy for some time, he turned around and found where his parents were missing. Tony was scared and begun to cry. A woman saw him crying and telling him to wait outside a shop. Five minutes later. Tony saw parents. Mom said, “ How nice to see you again! Dad and I were terrible worried.” Tony promised her that this would never happen again.

What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live?   36  .

We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle.   37   . Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about.   38  . If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.

 39 . According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things.  40    , such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child.”

A. Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children

B. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent

C. It needs exercise

D. These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear

E. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children

F. A person often thinking about difficult problems is more likely to become a genius

G. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion 

     When it comes to preschool education, there are two lines of thought. One says that preschoolers need to be taught early academic skills in order to get a leg up on future school achievement. Another says the focus should be on social and emotional development. But new research from Penn State University says a high quality preschool program should do both.

     Karen Bierman, Penn State Professor of Psychology, and her team studied 350 preschoolers. Half were taught the traditional curriculum（课程）. The other half were given the basic curriculum as well as social and emotional teaching.

The results show that the half students taught with a curriculum that includes social lesson, such as sharing, listening and self-control, score higher in both the social and academic areas of school readiness than the other half students.

The other finding is that when you work on both academic and social-emotional skills, you get stronger gains in both areas. “You get the combined power when you put both together, so neither area is weakened,” she says.

Clearly, knowing how to share, develop healthy friendships, and learn side-by-side with others is important to a child’s academic achievement in the classroom. But, Bierman says the importance of social and emotional education goes beyond that, Preschool is prime time for the development of self-regulation, which not only tells a child not to hit another child, but also tells a child how to set personal goals and focus himself enough to follow through with those goals. And the ability to regulate behavior is what helps children get motivated at school. “When they get upset, bored, or frustrated, it doesn’t defeat them,”she says.

Goal-oriented（面向目标的）and motivated learning is best taught in preschool, Bierman says, when the prefrontal part of the brain, which controls decision-making, is at the height of development.“First grade teachers can teach letter names, but preschool is when that behavior is peaking and language is just beginning to develop.”she says.

28．Karen Bierman and her team carried out the research by       .

A．tracking 350 preschoolers for years

B．separating children into two equal groups

C．working out a high quality preschool program

D．analyzing the importance of social and emotional teaching

29．The underlined words “prime time”in the text probably refer to       .

A．the best time     B．the only time

C．the earliest time    D．the suitable time

30．According to the text, self-regulation can help children       。

A．be willing to study     B．become emotionless

C．memorize letter names   D．learn language quickly

31．What’s the best tide for the text?

A．Preschool learning: more than ABCs and 123s

B．Karen Bierman: freeing kids from boring learning

C．Learning self-regulation in preschool: why it matters?

D．Academic and social-emotional skills: which is more important?
