Our particular parenting style reflects our own way of “looking”. Here’s a great piece of writing reflecting parent’s particular ways on the parenting style that have become known humorously as helicopter parenting and submarine parenting.
Helicopter parents hover over their children, managing every aspect of their child’s life. On the contrary, submarine parents remain “hidden” coming to the surface when guidance is needed.
While helicopter parents may have the best intentions, in reality, they are raising children with few problem solving skills. Children with hovering parents never get the chance to face disappointment and build up their ability to recover from misfortune.
Think about your typical submarine. Submarines usually remain underwater. In case of a need for emergency surfacing, submarines can rise so quickly. They are driven partially out of the water. Submarine parents also remain out of sight, yet able to appear in the case of an emergency.
I admit I’m a submarine mom. My job as a parent is to have fun with my daughters while letting them explore and learn natural consequences.
My older daughter found herself acting in commercials and making more than minimum wage as a teen. To give her a sense of the real world, I insisted she spend three weeks every summer, picking strawberries and earning $3.50 on a good day.
When my youngest daughter Sondra was six, she wanted a very expensive American Girl Doll. I cut the full color 18" picture out of the American Girl catalogue and had it laminated (压膜). “Here’s your American Girl Doll.” I said “When you turn nine, I’ll buy you the 3D doll on your birthday.” Sondra played with her flat doll for months, making clothes and furniture for her. She learned creativity. I saved $88.00.

解析
试题解析：本文是一篇议论文，讨论了两种不同的育儿方式：直升机式和潜水艇式，通过作比较和举例说明陈述了自己的观点。
小题1:D 主旨大意题。本文开篇点题：我们特别的养育风格反映了我们自己的“看”。这里是一个伟大的作品反映了父母的育儿的特殊方式，已经成为众所周知的幽默像直升机育儿潜水艇育儿。下面内容主要对这两种育儿方式进行了介绍，所以D正确。
小题2:C 词义猜测题。根据后句On the contrary, submarine parents remain “hidden” coming to the surface when guidance is needed相反，当被需要指导时潜艇父母保持“隐藏”浮出水面，和本句直升机父母在他们孩子的头上盘旋（引申为监视，照顾），管理他们生活的每一个方面，A. leave behind 落后B. fly around盘旋C. watch over监视，照顾D. set aside把..放在一边。所以C正确。
小题3:B细节理解题。根据第三段：尽管直升机父母可能有最好的意图，在现实中，他们培养出几乎没有解决问题的能力的孩子。有着直升机父母的孩子没有机会面对失望和增强从不幸中恢复过来的能力，判断出父母为孩子做好了一切，所以B正确。
小题4:D细节推理题。A. stating facts and offering advice陈述事实和提建议B. using figures and giving evidence用数字和给出证据C. analyzing data and drawing conclusions分析数据和得出结论，D. making comparisons and giving examples作比较和举例子，本文第三，第四段对两种育儿方式进行比较，后面三段是以我的女儿为例张开叙述的，所以D正确。
核心考点
试题【Our particular parenting style reflects our own way of “looking”. Here’s a great】；主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
The expression probably came about because there was a time when people would often decide to go for a relaxing drive on Sunday afternoons. A Sunday drive was a common occurrence years ago and especially on a nice warm sunny day. There were no stores open on Sunday because of the “blue laws”, so you needed to be sure and fill up the gas tank and make any other needed purchases before Sunday arrived.
Some of the states had strict blue laws that even prohibited some activities on Sunday. However, there is still a lot to be said for the slow, gentle life that once existed. It was a time when very few people worked on Sunday except for those professions vital to our well-being such as those in the medical profession. It was a day “set apart” that was used to rest, visit with neighbors and friends, or maybe go to grandma’s house for supper. Today there are many who return to work and children who go back to school overly tired on Monday due to a lack of rest. Perhaps there would be less stress related illnesses if we really kept Sunday as a day of rest.
小题1:According to the passage, “Sunday driver” refers to the person who ______.
| A．drives his vehicle on Sundays |
| B．drives for fun and relaxation |
| C．enjoys a weekend break |
| D．makes a Sunday purchase |
| A．Sunday drivers affected traffic flow |
| B．Sunday drivers drove too slowly |
| C．Sunday drivers increased traffic speed |
| D．Sunday drivers felt hatred for other drivers |
| A．Visiting with neighbors and friends. |
| B．Going to the hospital to see a doctor. |
| C．Having a family get-together. |
| D．Selling goods or services. |
| A．earn a lot more money |

Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice cream. Just ask John Harrison an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers (制造商) to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream—as well as for developing over 75 flavors (口味).
Some people think that it would be easy to do this job; after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No—there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.
In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12℉. Harrison explains: “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir (搅拌) it, creating ice-cream soup.”
While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,” he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Dose the product have the color expected from that flavor?” Next it’s time to taste!
Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy---working at one cool job.
小题1: What is John Harrison’s job?
| A．An official. | B．An ice-cream taster. |
| C．A chemist. | D．An ice-cream manufacturer. |
| A．keep a diary of work |
| B．have a degree in related subjects |
| C．have new ideas every day |
| D．find out new flavor each day |
| A．He stirs the ice cream. |
| B．He examines the color of the ice cream. |
| C．He tastes the flavor of the ice cream. |
| D．He lets the ice cream warm up. |
| A．Tasting with Eyes | B．Flavors of Ice Cream |
| C．John Harrison’s Life | D．One Cool Job |
Do you prefer working alone or with other people? There are isolating(使孤立)jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.
How do you handle change? Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes don’t happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.
Do you enjoy working with computers? I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and you’ll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.
________________________________? This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won’t know immediately to a smaller setting where you’ll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.
How do you like to get paid? Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.
Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. I’ve seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.
小题1:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
| A．Isolating jobs usually drive people mad |
| B．Interactive jobs make people shy easily. |
| C．Extreme people tend to work with other. |

| A．Before you select your job, you should assess your skills and match them with your position. |
| B．There are more important things than assessing skills and match them with the position when you select a job. |
| C．Nothing is important than assessing skills and match them with the position when you select a job. |
| D．You should ignore your skills when you select a job. |
| A．What type of work environment do you enjoy? |
| B．What kind of people do you like to work with? |
| C．How can you fit in with your workmates? |
| D．Do you want to be a big fish in a small pond? |

Taking taxis is a great way to get around the city of Delhi and chances are, if you arrive in Delhi by plane, as soon as you make it through customs, you’ll be swarmed by Indian taxi drivers. At the Delhi airport, be sure to arrange for a taxi to your hotel at one of the two Delhi Traffic Police Taxi Booths. One is inside the airport, and one is outside. The key is to make sure to go to a booth run by the police, rather than by independent taxi drivers.
Rickshaws are one of my favorite ways to get around Indian cities, partly because it’s how the locals often travel. Auto-rickshaws are more common, but bicycle rickshaws are still used in Old Delhi. If you do have a chance to take a bicycle rickshaw, you should do it at least once for a unique experience that should only set you back about 15 rupees. Auto-rickshaw rates around Delhi range between 30 and 80 rupees, depending on distance.
If you really want to travel around Delhi like the locals, take a public bus. Indian buses become very crowded and most do not have air conditioning. They are, however, very cheap. A bus trip won’t set you back any more than 15 rupees, as long as you stay within the city limits. Since Indian buses get so crowded, try to board the bus at the start of the route so you can get a seat.
The train is a great way to get around within the city of Delhi. Fares are reasonable, between six and 22 rupees. All departure announcements are in both Hindi and English, and tokens can be purchased for between six and 22 rupees.
小题1: What is the author trying to do through this text?
| A．Expect us to travel around Delhi. |

| A．Go to a police-run booth. |
| B．Go out of the airport. |
| C．Show your ticket to the driver. |
| D．Pay more to the drivers to keep safe. |
| A．save some money |
| B．gain some unique experience |
| C．enjoy the comfortable trip |
| D．help the local rickshaw drivers |
| A．Car rentals in Delhi |
| B．Food and drink in Delhi |
| C．Weather conditions in Delhi |
| D．Hotel recommendations in Delhi |
小题1:What kind of skirts do women like to wear today?
| A．Long skirts. |
| B．Short skirts. |
