Research suggests many of us are likely to respond"no", and public support for spanking (打屁股) has been
falling over the years. But surveys also show that 75 percent to nearly 90 percent of parents admit to spanking
their child at least once.
I was raised in a zero-tolerance home for disrespect, and my parents often turned to physical punishment.
And, no, I don"t feel I was damaged by it.
Nothing is more annoying than watching ill-mannered behavior from children.
But there is data to suggest that a return to old-school spanking isn"t the answer.
Two years ago, Newsweek reported that it had found data suggesting that teens whose parents used
physical punishment were more likely to become aggressive.
Murray Straus, professor at the University of New Hampshire in America, has studied the topic of children
and spanking for decades. He said that children who were physically punished have lower IQs than their peers.
It may be that children with lower IQs were more likely to get spanked, but the punishment may have been
counterproductive (反作用的) to their mental development, as well.
Some researchers make the argument that occasional open-handed smacks (用巴掌打) on the bottom are
not only harmless but can have some benefit.
Last year, Marjorie Gunnoe, a psychologist at Calvin College, studied teens who have never been spanked.
There are a greater number of children growing up without ever having been physically punished. Gunnoe"s
research suggests they don"t turn out any better than those who were sometimes spanked.
There are some parents who simply cannot control their tempers (脾气). But I still believe that the best
parents are the ones who are able to offer fair and firm discipline without ever turning to physical punishment.
B. she showed no respect for the elder
C. they cannot control their temper
D. their discipline turns out to be not strict enough
B. have slower physical development
C. benefit from occasional spanking
D. may develop lower IQs than their peers
B. children who have been spanked tend to behave better than those who haven"t
C. good parents discipline their children in a fair and reasonable way
D. physical punishment should be the last resort (手段) of any parent

thought their time on earth was up.
But as luck would have it for the frightened wild ducklings that had lost their mother, the dog that helped
them out of the bushes had only their best interests at heart. Duke, a one-year-old German shepherd, found the
two ducklings hidden in long grass next to his owner"s workplace on the edge of the Thronybankw.w.^
Industrial Estate in Dalkeith.
And despite the natural instincts of a hunter, the dog gently took them in its mouth and carried them back
to his blanket, putting them down where it was warm and even washing them clean with his tongue. The
ducklings will be looked after by staff at the center until they are old enough to be released into the wild.
"This dog is a modern day Rin Tin Tin, ( the world"s most famous German shepherd dog) and to pick
them up in his mouth without harming them is quite something."To them try and wash them is just amazing
behavior." said one of the staff.
B. they will become the food of the dog.
C. they will be saved by the dog.
D. they have finished their daily job.
B. owner
C. friend
D. trainer
we learned the fact that ________.
B. Dogs change their appetite
C. Dogs are born hunter
D. Dogs become vegetarian
and even lick ducklings clean.
B. impossible
C. interesting
D. amazing
be "like a magic carpet…You could fold it up and put it into your pocket or handbag". Then he paused:"But
you"ll always be limited by the size of the wheels. And so far no one has invented a folding wheel."
It was a rare-indeed unique-occasion when I was able to put Ritchie right. A 19th-century inventor,
William Henry James Grout, did in fact design a folding wheel. His bike, predictably named the Grout Portable,
had a frame that split into two and a larger wheel that could be separated into four pieces. All the bits fitted
into Grout"s Wonderful Bag, a leather case.
Grout"s aim: to solve the problems of carrying a bike on a train. Now doesn"t that sound familiar? Grout
intended to find a way of making a bike small enough for train travel: his bike was a huge beast. And importantly,
the design of early bicycles gave him an advantage: in Grout"s day, tyres were solid, which made the business
of splitting a wheel into four separate parts relatively simple. You couldn"t do the same with a wheel fitted with
a one-piece inflated (充气的) tyre.
So, in a 21st-century context, is the idea of the folding wheel dead? It is not. A British design engineer,
Duncan Fitzsimons, has developed a wheel that can be squashed into something like a slender ellipse (椭圆).
Throughout, the tyre remains inflated.
Will the young Fitzsimons"s folding wheel make it into production? I haven"t the foggiest idea. But his
inventiveness shows two things. First, people have been saying for more than a century that bike design has
reached its limit, except for gradual advances. It"s as silly a concept now as it was 100 years ago: there"s plenty
still to go for. Second, it is in the field of folding bikes that we are seeing the most interesting inventions. You
can buy a folding bike for less than £1,000 that can be knocked down so small that it can be carried on a
plane-minus wheels, of course-as hand baggage.
Folding wheels would make all manner of things possible. Have we yet got the magic carpet of Andrew
Ritchie"s imagination? No. But it"s progress.
B. had a folding wheel
C. could be put in a pocket
D. looked like a magic carpet
B. could be split into 6 pieces
C. were fitted with solid tyres
D. were hard to carry on a train
B. was made into production soon
C. left little room for improvement
D. changed our views on bag design
B. The making of a folding bike
C. Progress in folding bike design
D. Ways of separating a bike wheel

Mayer, but it became widely popular after the publication of Daniel Goleman’s best seller " Emotional
Intelligence” in 1995. The meaning of emotional intelligence is " Knowing how you and others feel and
what to do about it."
The control center of our emotions is a small part of our brain called the amygdala(类扁桃体),
which scans incoming signals from our sensory organs(eyes, ears…)and acts as the emotional alarm
center of our body. When it detects a condition that we hate, that we fear, or that could hurt us, it sends
an immediate signal to the other parts of our brain that controls our actions.
The amygdala’s widespread web of neural(神经系统的)connections allows it, during an
emotional emergency, to take control of much of the rest of the brain including the mind. This explains
why we sometimes do things “without thinking” like closing our eyes just before a flying insect hits our
face or losing control during the course of a heated argument.
Emotions are important for good decision-making and to keep friendly relationships with others
around us. We admire people with determination who have the ability to control their emotions when they
face pressure, arguments or aggression(attack). We also enjoy being with people who can express
co-operation and forgiveness. We need these emotions to be happy in our professional life as much as
we need them in our private life.
The majority of problems at work are caused by unmet emotional needs. The emotional-intelligent
manager knows how to make out and manage the emotional needs of both the customers and his team.
He or she, wants to help others feel respected, supported, helped, trusted, important, special, useful,
needed and valued.
When our emotional needs are satisfied, we feel better, and when we feel better, we are more
productive, patient, creative, open-minded, and caring.
Emotional intelligence requires that we develop our abilities in four main areas:
1)self-awareness being aware of our emotions as they happen;
2)managing emotions keeping a healthy balance of emotion and thinking;
3)recognizing emotions in others it’s a great communicating skill;
4)handling relationships managing emotions in others increases our popularity, our leadership
ability and our communication effectiveness.
A. After Peter Salovey and John Mayer defined the term.
B. After computers became widely spread in our life.
C. After Daniel Goleman published his book on EQ.
D. After an expert said it was quite important.
A. Amygdala in our brains.
B. Our sensory organs.
C. Our mind.
D. Our head.
B. We cannot get along well with others.
C. We do not have the nerves of steel.
D. We are extremely tired.
B. we should not always control our emotions
C. we should not care so much about our emotions
D. we should neither control nor free our emotions too much

percent of the homes in the United States have containers full of a drug-television. The average
American home has a TV on for more than 6 hours every day. Kids who are growing up these days
watch an average of 20,000 hours of TV - the electronic babysitter, by the time they’re 15.
Researchers say that a TV-viewer’s brain waves enter a pre-sleep period within 30 seconds of
turning on the set and that this pattern can be addicting. Other experts point out that TV is the easiest
way to escape concerned with our great addictions to alcohol, drugs, tobacco, and food. There is,
however, no treatment available for television addiction.
Stories of TV addiction are incredible. One man said, "Last December, I concluded that TV was
controlling our lives. It kept my wife and me from talking with each other. I knew I had to do something.
Our efforts to control the habit had failed. Finally, I decided to kill the TV. I picked it up and threw it as
far as I could into the yard. Since then, our lives have been much better. We read, talk, and even have
friends. My advice to TV addicts is: Kill the TV!"
