核心考点
试题【Cars are very popular in America. When the kids are fourteen years old, they dre】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
Parents today are more youthful in appearance and attitudes. Their clothes and hair-styles are more casual, helping to bridge the divide. Those who are athletically inclined also enjoy Rollerblading, snowboarding, and rock-climbing with their children.
For the past three years, Kathy and Phil Dalby have spent at least one evening a week at a climbing gym with their three children. "It"s great to be able to work together," Mrs Dalby says. "We discuss various climbs and where the hard parts are. Sometimes that leads to other Conversations. We"re definitely closer."
A popular movement of parent effectiveness training in the 1970s has helped to reshape generational roles. The philosophy encourages children to describe their feelings about various situations. As a result, says Robert Billingham, a family-studies professor at Indiana University, "Parents and children began talking to each other in ways they had not before."
On the plus side, he adds, these conversations made parents realize that children may have important thoughts or feelings that adults need to be aware of.
But Professor Billingham also sees a downside: Many parents started making decisions based on what their child wanted. "The power shifted to children. Parents said, "I have to focus on making my child happy", as opposed to "I have to act as a parent most appropriately"."
Other changes are occurring as the ranks of working mothers grow. Time-short parents encourage children"s independence, making them more responsible for themselves. "They"ll say, "We trust you to make the right decisions" (whether they"re ready to assume the responsibility or not) ,"says Billingham.
The self-esteem movement of the past quarter-century has also affected the family dynamics (原动力). Some parents worry that if they tell their child no, it will hurt the child"s self-esteem.

A new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love (早恋) may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression (忧郁症). The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.
The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They won’t tell that to their parents.
Dr Marian Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.
Parents should watch for signs of depression -- eating or mood changes -- and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity (成熟) gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.
小题1:What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.Puppy love may bring young people depression. |
B.Parents should forbid their children’s love. |
C.Romance is a two edged sword for adults. |
D.Romance is good for young people. |
A.Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness. |
B.Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior. |
C.Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions. |
D.Careless parents whose children are deep in love. |
A.Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly. |
B.Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents. |
C.Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression. |
D.The older a woman is,the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance. |
A.Confused. | B.Disapproving. | C.Disinterested. | D.Scared. |
“Over the past five years it has become far safer --- and more professionally acceptable --- to take up a job volunteering overseas,” says David Stitt, managing director of Gap Year for Grown Ups, a company catering for volunteers in their late 20s and upwards. “While 10 years ago intrepid souls took financial and personal risks in volunteering abroad, now several organizations exist to make the experience safe and well-organized.
Nowadays, universities and business encourage overseas volunteering among students and employees. Entire families can volunteer abroad, and agencies are employing more disabled and retired people. A prosperous “humanitarian tourism” industry has sprung up; thousands of UK citizens will do some form of overseas volunteering this year.
“Some volunteering jobs are easier to find than others,” explains Kevin Cusack, from a volunteer advice agency. “If you can speak English, it’s not too hard to land a job teaching English, even without a qualification, and those who enjoy working with children should be able to find child care work.”
Whether your interest is rainforests or women’s rights, you can find a volunteer position to suit you. But be warned: unless you have relevant skills or existing overseas development experience, it’s going to cost. Just how much depends on the location and length of the position, but you should budget for somewhere between £1,500 and £6,000.
“Having to pay to volunteer may sound paradoxical (矛盾的), but it’s the best way to ensure you get a position that benefits the local community while matching your interests and skills,” explains Cusack. “You can also discuss the time you want to commit to a project --- many positions can fit into a holiday or even a weekend.”
小题1:The underlined words “intrepid souls” in Paragraph 2 most probably refers to ___________.
A.companies | B.volunteers | C.fighters | D.students |
A.must be incredible and unrealistic |
B.can help volunteers learn more about another culture |
C.may benefit both volunteers and the community they work in |
D.needs confidence, courage and determination |
A.Disabled people can also take up a job volunteering overseas. |
B.In the past no one could take up a job volunteering overseas. |
C.“Humanitarian tourism” industry is in its beginning stage. |
D.Taking up a job volunteering overseas needs at least £1,500. |
A.In a job guidebook. |
B.In a celebrity biography. |
C.In a guidebook to work overseas. |
D.In a report on volunteer work. |
A.Critical. | B.Unfavorable. | C.Supportive. | D.Disagreeable. |
As for the ride itself, the beginning of it is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some things are keeping changing out of the windows — various houses, crop fields, attractive bridges, … and sometimes even a small accident. Your bus driver may have a unique style of driving and it’s fun trying experience it the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless (鲁莽的) or daring, the ride can be as thrilling (惊心动魄的) as an adventurous story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.
The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know the riding will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement with that. The seat, of course, has become harder for the hours having passed. By now you may sit with your legs crossed, or with your hands in your lap, or with your hands on the arms, or even with your hands crossed behind your head. That is to say that the end comes just at no more ways to sit.
小题1:According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?
A.Buses on the road. | B.Films on television. |

A.those reckless bus drivers |
B.driving with no one around |
C.a television set on the bus |
D.no billboards along the road |
A.the commercials both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are fun |
B.they both have a beginning, a middle and an end, with commercials in between |
C.the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on buses |
D.both traveling by bus itself and watching TV programs on bus are not exciting. |
A.exciting | B.comfortable | C.tiring | D.boring |
Spillover(影响,后果) actually means that the line between work and home began to become unclear. Work life may invade home life—when a parent is taking job-related calls at home, for instance—or family issues may start to take up work time. For example, a child may call Mom at work, telling her “the microwave exploded”, explained Noelle Chesley, an assistant professor of society at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee and the author of the study. The problem with cell phones seems to be they are allowing for ever more spillover between work and home.
This may be especially true for working women, the study found. Among men, consistent use of mobile phones seemed not to allow more work issues to creep(潜入) into family time. But for women, the spillover tended to go in both directions—being “connected” means that work cuts into home time, and family issues come into work life.
Cell phones seem to be opening more lines for stressful exchange among family members. But there may be ways to control the spillover, according to Chesley. Employers, she said, should look at their policies on contacting employees after working hours to make sure their expectations are “reasonable”. For their part, employees can decide that cell phones go off during family time, Chesley said.
小题1:Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “taking a toll on” in Paragraph l?
A.Explaining | B.Protecting | C.Extending | D.Damaging |
A.show the microwave is of poor quality |
B.indicate how dependent the child is |
C.indicate family issues affect work hours |
D.show work time creeps into family life |
A.Cell phones offer 24-hour availability. |
B.Cell phones get life and work mixed. |
C.Women don’t use cell phones in an effective way. |
D.Men are better at dealing with family problems. |
A.Curious | B.Positive | C.Subjective | D.Objective |
