of five young people now get on with their parents,which is the opposite of the popularly held
image 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 decisionmaking 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 17yearold 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 happened during 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."
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.
B．cause trouble in their families
C．go boating with their family
D．make family decisions
B．are much stricter with their children
C．careless about their children"s life
D．give their children more freedom

"Two full inches in the first three days!"
These are the kinds of statements used in magazine,newspaper,radio and television ads,
promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device.The
promoters of products say they can shape the legs,slim the face,smooth wrinkles,or in some
other way to add to beauty or desirability.
Often such products are nothing more than moneymaking things for their promoters.The
results they produce are questionable,and some are dangerous to health.
To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public,it is necessary to
understand something of the laws covering their regulation.If the product is a drug,FDA
(Food and Drug Administration)can require proof under the Food,Drug,and Cosmetic Act
that is safe and effective before it is put on the market.But if the product is a device,FDA
has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness.If a product already
on the market is a danger to health,FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it
from the market voluntarily,or it can take legal action,including seizure(查封)of the product.
One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor,which
had been sold for reducing the waistline.The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body
through contact pads.FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device
on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life.
Obviously,most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings
(法律诉讼),and new devices appear continually.Before buying,it is up to the consumer to judge
the safety or effectiveness of such items.
B．costly
C．unreliable
D．illegal
B．New products are more likely to be questionable.
C．The production of a device must be approved by FDA.
D．The promoters usually just care about profits.
B．if it is a device
C．if its consumers make complaints
D．if its distributors challenge FDA"s authority
B．a product whose distributor was involved in a legal case
C．a successful advertisement of a beauty product
D．an example of a quality beauty product
B．show the weakness of the law on product safety
C．give advice on how to keep young and beautiful
D．introduce the organization of FDA
noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the
countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural(乡下的) areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years.
In many countries, the main reason people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two
large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area
begins to grow. There is usually a_residential_area nearby, too. The families of these workers need
schools, hospitals and shops, so many people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.
In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main
offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city center downtown. It is here that you can see
many huge skyscrapers(摩天大楼)and office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way
to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the
city center. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.
But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger and bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years, and it is quite possible that one day we will
see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages.
B. which is suitable for living in
C. where people can do business
D. which is near a city center
B. Because they like noisy life better than peaceful life.
C. Because they mainly want to find work there.
D. Because they are sure of having a better life there.
B. People usually work and live in the business district.
C. A business district usually lies in the city center downtown.
D. Nearly every major city has its own business district.
B. but live in the suburbs of the city
C. and live in another city
D. but live in rural areas
B. will surely continue in the future
C. may not continue in the future
D. has now stopped already
a few coins, do you hurry on, not __1__ what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly __2__ some
money? What should our attitude towards beggars be? There can be no question that the world is
full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come
from. It seems __3__ not to give some money to beggars.
__4__, most of the world"s great religions order us to be openhearted and __5__what we have
with those less lucky than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally right in
the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help,
is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their __6__.
Firstly, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually
make a good __7__ from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil. __8__,
there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, there is
the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for
losing one"s sense of __9__ and selfdependence.
Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be handled by the government rather
than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department
and __10__ help.
It is hard to come to any final conclusion: there are various __11__and we must deal with them
differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does
not take away the moral goodness of the __12__.

bank account from their partner.While this financial unfaithfulness may appear as distrust in
a relationship,in truth it may just be a form of financial protection.With almost half of all
marr
iages ending in divorce,men and women are realizing they need to be financially savvy,regardless of whether they are in a relationship.
The financial hardship on individuals after a divorce can be extremely difficult,even more
so when children are involved.The lack of permanency in relationships,job and family life
may be the cause of a growing trend to keep a secret bank account hidden from a partner,
in other words,an"escape fund"．
Margaret"s story is far from unique.She is a representative of a growing number of
women in long－term relationships who are becoming protective of their own earnings.Every
month on pay day,she banks hundreds of dollars into a savings account she keeps from her
husband.She has been doing this throughout their six－year marriage and has built a nest egg
worth an incredible$100,000.Margaret says if her husband found about her secret savings
he"d be hurt and would take this as a sign that she wasn"t sure of the marriage."He"d think it
was my escape fund so that financially I could afford to get out of the relationship if it went
wrong.I know you should approach marriage as being forever and I hope ours is,but you
can never be sure."
Like many of her fellow secret savers,Margaret was hurt in a former relationship and has
since been very guarded about her own money.
Coming clean to your partner about being a secret saver may not be all that bad.Take
Colleen for example,who had been saving secretly for a few years before she confessed to
her partner."I decided to open a savings account and start building a nest egg of my own.I
wanted to prove to myself that I could put money in the bank and leave it there for a rainy
day."
B．days are getting harder and harder
C．women are money sensitive
D．financial conflicts often occur
B．secure
C．wise
D．simple
B．She was once divorced.
C．She is going to retire.
D．She has many chi
ldren.B．privacy within marriage should be respected
C．everyone can save a fortune with a happy marriage
D．financial disclosure is not necessarily bad
B．Love is what it"s worth
C．Banking honesty
D．Once bitten,twice shy
At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand
on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are
taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly
on their own, most of them are clutching (紧握) at one another"s hands for reassurance.
They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off
in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to
the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thusandsuch a way is that the crowd is doing
it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger_cocoon.
It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to
go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager
can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today"s parents
have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier
for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.
But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to
classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is
collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don"t care to share at once with your
classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come-with the people who
respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.
B．readers to try to be popular with people around
C．parents to try to control and guide their children
D．people to try to understand and respect each other
B．following the popularity trend
C．walking a new way on their own
D．turning to their friends for help
B．the dazzling music world
C．the parental care and love
D．the popularity wave in the society
B．Instructive.
C．Influential.
D．Authoritative.
and follows his/her own path?
B．He/She loses good friends.
C．He/She faces all kinds of criticism.
D．He/She gains valuable popularity.
