　　The Best of Friends

　　The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly-held image(形象)of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.

　　An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past.“We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seem to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “They’re expected to be rebellious(叛逆的)and selfish, but actually they have other things on their minds: they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation(商议)and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat.”

　　So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends.“My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me," says 17-year-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it.” Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”

　　Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments,“Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”

　　67. What is the popular image of teenagers today? A. They worry about school.

　　B. They dislike living with their parents. C, They have to be locked in to avoid troubles. D. They quarrel a lot with other family members.

　　68. The study shows that teenagers don’t want to__________ . A. share family responsibility B. cause trouble in their families C. go boating with their family D. make family decisions

　　69. Compared with parents of 30 years ago, today’s parents__________ . A. go to clubs more often with their children B. are much stricter with their children

　　C. care less about their children’s life D. give their children more freedom 70. According to the author, teenage rebellion__________ . A. may be a false belief B. is common nowadays

　　C. existed only in the 1960s D. resulted from changes in families

　　71. What is the passage mainly about?

　　A. Negotiation in family. B. Education in family. C. Harmony in family. D. Teenage trouble in family.

　　答案与解析：

　　67. D解析:这是一道细节判断题。根据第一段“which is the opposite of the popularly-held image of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.”可知(青少年)流行的形象是和父母无休止争吵完后把自己锁在屋子里,所以给人的印象是常常和其他家庭成员争吵。

　　68. B解析:这是一道细节判断题。根据第二段最后一句“They don’t want to rock the boat.”可知孩子们不想制造麻烦。“rock the boat”是捣乱、制造麻烦的意思。

　　69. D解析:这是一道细节判断题。根据第三段第一句“So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends.”和Susan Crome的描述“Looking back on the last 10 years,there was a lot of what you could call negotiation.”可知这一代的父母比起30年前上一代的'父母更善于把孩子当成朋友看待,Susan说有很多事情都可以和她父母商量。也就是说这一代父母给孩子更多自由。

　　70. A解析:这是一道归纳题。根据最后一段第二句“It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts.”作者认为青少年的反叛的观念并不一定来源于事实,所以青少年反叛的观点不一定正确。

　　71. C解析:这是一道主旨题。本文主要结束了家庭和睦的问题,比较了这一代父母对待青少年的态度以及和上一代父母的比较,结论是现在的家庭比以往更加和睦

　　cultural

　　Not everyone in the world requires the same amount of living space. The amount of space a person needs around him is a cultural difference,not an economic one. Knowing your own psychological (心理的) space needs is important because they strongly affect your choices,including,for example,the number of bedrooms in the home. If you were brought up in a two-child family and both you and your sister or brother had your own bedrooms,the chances are,if you have two children or more,that you also will offer separate bedrooms for them. In America,for example,they train people to want to have their own rooms by giving them their own rooms when they are babies. This is very rare in the world. In many other countries,the baby sleeps in the same bed with his parents or in bed near them.

　　The space in the home also shows a lot about psychological space needs. Some families gather closer to each other and the size of their house has nothing to do with it. Others have separate little corners where family members go to bed alone.

　　Although it is true that psychological space needs are not decided by economic reasons,they sometimes have to be changed a little because of economic pressures. It is almost impossible,however,to completely change your psychological space needs.

　　1. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 means " ______ ". A. No two people need exactly the same amount of living space B. The requirements of living space are not always the same

　　C. The world requires the same amount of living space D. Nobody needs a required amount of living space

　　2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Americans are trained to live in large rooms at birth. B. Economic situation decides one's amount of space needs.

　　C. People in various countries demand different psychological space. D. Knowing your psychological space needs is important, as it affects your future.

　　( B )

　　The Red Cross is an international organization which cares for people who are in need of help. A man in Paris hospital who needs blood,a woman in Mexico who was injured in an earthquake,and a family in India that lost their home in a storm may all be aided by the Red Cross.

　　The Red Cross exists in almost every country around the globe. The world Red Cross organizations are sometimes called the Red Crescent,the Red Mogen David,the Sun,and the Red Lion. All of these agencies (机构) share a common goal of trying to help people in need.

　　The idea of forming an organization to help the sick and wounded during a war started with Jean Henri Dunant. In 1859,he observed how people were suffering on a battle field in Italy. He wanted to help all the wounded people regardless of which side they were fighting for. The most important result of his work was an international treaty(条约)called the Geneva Convention. It protects prisoners of war,the sick and wounded, and other citizens during a war.

　　The American Red Cross was set up by Clara Barton in 1881. Today the Red Cross in the United States provides a number of services for the public,such as helping people in need,teaching first aid and providing blood.

　　3. A good title for this selection is ______ . A. People in Need of Help B. Safety and Protection C. The International Red Cross

　　D. Forming an Organization to Help the Soldiers 4. The underlined word "aided" in Paragraph 1 means " ______ ".

　　A. needed B. helped C. caught D. protected

　　Moderation

　　One should be moderate(适度) in all things. Moderation is always the safest way to do things and a virtue(品质)we should have. Let's take the student life for example. There are some students who study too hard and play too little, while there are others who play too much and study too little. On one hand, it is harmful to his health if he has too few exercises, and on the other hand, it is harmful to his mind if he plays too much.

　　In the matter of eating, one also should be moderate. Do not eat too much or too little. Too much eating will make you sick, while too little eating will make you weak.

　　The man of progress is he who neither has too high an opinion of himself nor thinks too poorly of himself. If a man thinks too highly of himself, he is sure to become very proud, but if he has too poor an opinion of himself, he will have no courage to make an advance. Both the conditions above will make you lose your advancing aim. A broadminded man is he who always moves within the orbit (轨道)of reasonableness. Whether in any activities in life, moderation is one of the best ways to enjoy real happiness.
