Parents have to do much less for their children today than they used to do, and home has become
much less of a workshop. Clothes can be bought ready made, washing can go to the laundry, food can
be bought cooked, canned or preserved, bread is baked and delivered by the baker, milk arrives on
the doorstep, meats can be had at the restaurant, the work"s canteen, and the school dining-room.
It is unusual now for father to pursue his trade or other employment at home, and his children rarely,
if ever, see him at his place of work. Boys are therefore seldom trained to follow their father"s
occupation, and in many towns they have a fairly wide choice of employment and so do girls. The young
wage-earner often earns good money, and soon acquires a feeling of economic independence. In textile
areas it has long been customary for mothers to go out to work, but this practice has become so
widespread that the working mother is now a not unusual factor in a child"s home life, the number of
married women in employment having more than doubled in the last twenty-five years. With mother earning and his older children drawing substantial wages father is seldom the dominant figure that he still was at the beginning of the century. When mother works，economic advantages accrue, but children lose something of great value if mother"s employment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from
schoo1.

1. The writer mentions home as workshop because            .A. fathers often pursue employment at home
B. parents had to make food and necessity themselves for their daily-life
C. many families produce goods at home for sale
D. both fathers and mothers in most families are workers2. The word "accrue" in the sentence "When mother accrue," is  closest in meaning to           .A. change
B. dwindle
C. double
D. increase3. The chief reason that boys are seldom trained to follow their father"s occupation is _______.A. that children nowadays rarely see their fathers at their place of work
B. that fathers do not like to pursue employment at home any more
C. that there is a wide choice of employment for children
D. that children also like to have jobs outside

举一反三

     "A very disruptive(扰乱型的) six-year old child kicked my legs and clawed at my hand," said one
teacher.  "I  broke up a fight and was kicked between my legs," said another. Many people have heard
stories like this.  But the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents.
     Every child, regardless of the circumstances into which they are born, has the right to achieve their
potential, regardless of their parents’ wealth and class. And we recognize that, as a nation，it is a long
way to achieve this goal. But rights come with responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in
danger of neglecting the latter.
     Far too many children are behaving badly at school, even to the point of being violent to staff. This is
terrible enough, but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behavior of their
parents. Too many are starting school unable to hold a knife and fork, unused to eating at a table, and
unable to use the lavatory properly.
     We are in danger of becoming a nation of families living separate lives under one roof. The bedroom,
once a place to sleep, has become the living space for the young. Spending hours in front of computer
screens, on social networking sites or being immersed in computer games, children and young people
spend little time with their parents. Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching.
     Schools cannot right the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute parents. Both parties need to work together. Parents must be helped and given confidence to take back control. They are responsible for setting boundaries for their children"s behavior and sticking to those boundaries when the going gets tough. They are responsible for setting a good example to their children and for devoting that most precious of resources—time—so that children come to school ready and willing to learn. 1. In the opinion of the writer, what problem do people ignore?A. The school violence.
B. The pressure of students" learning
C. The right to achieve students potential.
D. the responsibilities of the students.2. The writer"s attitude to the behaviors of parents may be that of ________.A. dissatisfied
B. unconcern
C. understanding
D. tolerance 3. The underlined part in Para 4 may means__________.A. parents and children live in their separate rooms
B. parents care little about children"s life at home
C. children don"t live with their parents in the same room
D. at home children live a different life from that of parents4. From the last paragraph, we can infer that______.A. schools can"t correct the wrongs that society does to teachers
B. teachers have no responsibility for playing the role of parents
C. parents should spend time with children making them ready to learn
D. students are responsible for making themselves known in society

阅读理解。     Nervous suspects (嫌疑犯) locked up in Britain"s newest police station may feel relieved by a
pleasant yellow color on the door. If they are close to confessing a crime (招供), the blue on the wall
might tip the balance.
     Gwent Police have stopped using colors such as greys and browns of the 20th-century police cell
(牢房)and have used color psychology to decorate them.
     Ystrad Mynach station, which recently opened at a cost of ￡5 million, has four cells with glass doors
for prisoners who suffer from claustrophobia (幽闭恐怖症). Designers have painted the frames yellow, which researchers say is a calming color. Other cells contain a royal blue line because psychologists
believe that the color is likely to encourage truthfulness.
     The station has 31 cells, including 12 with a "live scan" system for drunken or disturbed prisoners,
which detects the rise and fall of their chest. An alarm alerts officers if a prisoner"s breathing stops and
carries on ringing until the door is opened.
     Designers and psychologists have worked for years on color. Blue is said to suggest trust, efficiency,
duty, logic, coolness, thinking and calm. It also suggests coldness and unfriendliness. It is thought that
strong blues will stimulate clear thought and lighter, soft colors will calm the mind and aid concentration.
     Yellow is linked with confidence, self-respect and friendliness. Get the color wrong and it could cause
fear, depression and anxiety, but the right yellow can lift spirits and self-respect.
     Ingrid Collins, a psychologist who specializes in the effects of color, said that color was an "energy
force". She said, " Blue does enhance (improve) communication but I am not sure it would enhance
truthful communication."
     Yellow, she said, affected the mind. Red, on the other hand, should never be considered because it
could increase aggression. Mrs. Collins praised the designers for using colors in the cells. Gwent is not
the first British force to experiment with color to calm down and persuade prisoners to co-operate. In
the 1990s Strathclyde Police used pink in cells based on research carried out by the US Navy.1. The expression "tip the balance" in paragraph 1 probably indicates that the blue might _______.A. let suspects keep their balance
B. help suspects to confess their crimes
C. make suspects cold and unfriendly in law court
D. enable suspects to change their attitudes to colors2. Which of the following colors should NOT be used in cells according to the passage?A. Pink.
B. Yellow.
C. Blue.
D. Red.3. Which of the following helps alert officers if someone stops breathing?A. Scanning equipment.
B. Royal blue lines.
C. Glass doors.
D. Yellow frames.4. The passage is mainly concerned with __________.A. the relationship between colors and psychology
B. a comparisons of different functions of colors
C. the use of colors in cells to affect criminals" psychology
D. scientific ways to help criminals reform themselves in prison5. What"s the author"s attitude toward the change of the color in prison?A. Against.
B. Favorable.
C. Passive.
D. Excited

阅读理解。     Why are so many people so afraid of failure? Quite simply because no one tells us how to fail so that
failure becomes an experience that will lead to growth. We forget that failure is part of the human
condition and that every person has the right to fail.
       Most parents work hard at either preventing failure or protecting  their children  from the knowledge
that they have failed. One way is to lower standards. A mother describes her child"s hurriedly-made table
as "perfect"! Even though it couldn"t stand on uneven (not same in height) legs. Another way is to shift (转移) blame. If John fails in science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.
       The trouble with failure-prevention methods is that they leave a child unequipped for life in the real
world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, that no one can win all the time and
that it"s possible to enjoy a game even when you don"t win. A child who"s not invited to a birthday party,
who doesn"t make the honor roll or the baseball team feel terrible, of course. But parents should not offer
a quick comfort prize or say "It doesn"t matter" because it does. The young should be allowed to
experience disappointment and be helped to master it.
       Failure is never pleasurable. It hurts grown-ups and children exactly alike. But it can make a positive
contribution to your life once you learn to use it. Step one is to ask  "Why did I fail?" Control the natura
l impulse (冲动) to blame someone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong, and how you can improve.
If someone else can help, don"t be shy about asking them.1. This passage mainly tells us about_________. A. the reasons why people fail
B. how to fail
C. the ways to prevent failures
D. the importance of facing failures2. When the writer says "every person has the right to fail", he means to say "_________".  A. the world is full of failures
B. everyone makes mistakes
C. failures are not common in our lives
D. no one can grow up without failures3. By "protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed", the writer means that
   most parents try their best_________.    A. to let their children know that they won"t fail
B. to teach their children about knowledge of failure
C. to provide their children with the knowledge against failure
D. to keep their children from realizing that they failed4. According to the third paragraph, _________. A. parents should tell their children to think nothing of not being chosen into a football team
B. children should be encouraged to get rid of disappointment by themselves
C. parents should judge what their children have done as it is
D. children should learn to enjoy a game that they won"t win5. According to the passage, if you are facing failure, you should_________.   A. blame someone else.
B. face it yourself and not ask others to help.
C. forget it as soon as possible.
D. think it over and find way to improve it.

阅读表达。     Do you find your teen has a hard time finding new friends? More importantly, do you think your teen
has settled in with the first friends that came along despite the friends" questionable quality?
     Making new friends can be quite nerve-racking for a teen, especially if he/she has low self-esteem and confidence levels. Finding friends with similar values can be even more challenging.
     Parents play an important role in their children"s lives. You need to teach your kids on how to pick the "right friends".
     1. Sign your teen up for 1 or 2 extracurricular activities. It can be a sports team, an art class, or a dance class. Pick something he/she would enjoy or ask your teen to pick the class he/she would like to

teen cannot make friends if he/she has no place to meet new people.
     2. Guide him or her on how to _____. For example: Teach your teen to carefully choose his or her
friends. Direct your teen to ask himself or herself what he/she is looking for in new friends. Get your teen to write down 5 qualities or characteristics he/she would like the new friends to have.
