called a magician, who claims to have supernatural powers.
Magic words. To work most magic, the magician sings or speaks special words in a certain order.
These words are called incantations or spells. Some spells form prayers to demons(魔鬼), spirits, or
other supernatural forces. Many societies believe the magic will not work unless the magician recites the
spells perfectly. Other magic words have no meaning, though they supposedly possess power when
spoken by a magician.
Magic actions accompany the words spoken in performing much magic. Many of these movements
act out the desired effect of the magic. For example, a magician trying to make rain fall may sprinkle(洒)
water on the ground. The magician"s combined words and actions form a ceremony.
Magic objects include certain plants, stones, and other things with supposed supernatural powers.
Any such object may be called a fetish(物神). But this term often refers to an object-for example, a
carving or a dried snake-honored by a tribe for its magic powers. Many tribes believe fetishes have
magic power because spirits live in these objects.
Many people carry magic objects called amulets(护身符)to protect themselves from harm. Many
amulets are stones or rings engraved(雕刻) with magic symbols.
The magician. In some societies, nearly everyone knows how to work some magic. In other societies,
only experts practice magic. Magicians may be called medicine men, medicine women, shamans,
sorcerers, or witch doctors. In many societies, magicians must inherit their powers. In others, any person
may become a magician by studying the magical arts.
Many societies believe magicians must observe certain rules and taboos (forbidden actions) for their
spells to work. For example, they may be required not to eat various foods or to avoid sexual activity for
a certain period before the ceremony.
1. What do magic words mean to people in some society?
A. They have the power to kill devils.
B. They have power if magician recites the right spells.

D. They can be used whenever they want.

unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these
statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by
a report which concluded that today"s children are significantly more anxious than children in the
1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children aged 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety
today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.
Why are America"s kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical
isolation(隔离) brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other
things and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.
Considering that we_can"t_turn_the_clock_back,_adults can still do plenty to help the next
generation.
At the top of the list is nurturing(培育) a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No
child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against
stress.
To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers.
Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for facetoface relationships, and they will
get more sleep.
Limit the amount of virtual(虚拟的) violence your children are exposed to. It"s not just video
games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.
Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended
Harvard or Yale.
Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide
a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesn"t have to ruin your life.
1. According to the analysis, compared with normal children today, children treated as mentally ill 50
years ago ________.
A. probably suffered less from anxiety

D. Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.
3. The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about people"s state of mind are ________.
A. illogical
B. confusing
C. surprising
D. questionable
4. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. To children, anxiety is completely avoidable.
B. TV and computer play an important role in isolating children from the real world.

cases, students must take public buses and trains. After junior high school, students attend schools
based on their high school entrance examination scores. So some students travel a great distance to
attend the school.
________
The school day begins at 8:30. Then students assemble in their homeroom classes for the day"s
studies. Each homeroom has an average of 40-45 students. Students stay in their homeroom

electives(选修科目) are few.

It"s a fine line parents walk as they try to guide their kids into adulthood. You want to protect but not
treat too kindly, advise but not control and let them live their own lives-with some input, of course.
If your child asks you to tie a particular hardtotie knot(绳结)for a project she is working on,just tie
the knot. Don"t start helping with the rest of the project or making suggestions on how to do it. She wants
to do it herself, in her own way. Before offering help or advice which your child has not asked for, count
to ten. Perhaps in those seconds you"ll decide that the advice would do no good,or isn"t really that
important,and you"ll drop it. If the advice still seems important, you will give it,but the pause may lead you
to give it in a more thoughtful way.
Remember that your child is not you and is not a reflection of you. We make a serious mistake if we
try to shape our children into copies of ourselves, or if we think of them as extensions or reflections of
ourselves. We need to help them to be them, not try to turn them into us or into something that we think
will make us look good.
Our primary responsibility to our children is not that of telling them momenttomoment or daytoday
how to behave but providing them with a healthy environment in which to develop. For example, one of
the best ways you can help your kids is to work with your community to create safeenough outdoor
places to play in your neighborhood.
