    It was several years since Adolf Hitler came into power in Germany. And now his army was marching into
some parts of Europe. He must be in the prime of his career. 
    One day Hitler went to an exhibition where the works of school children were on show. He seemed to have
great interest in the exhibits-inventions as well as carvings, drawings. After having walked around the hall and
examined everything, he said he was ready to meet the young artists. And soon a group of children came into
the room to salute (向-----敬禮) him.
    "Well, well. You did very good work." nodded Hitler in satisfaction. "I promise on my honor I'd satisfy you
with whatever you want. What'd you wish to be if I were your father?"
     "A sailor sailing the sea." one of the boys answered.
     "Good. I'll have you join my navy and some day you will rule the oceans."
     "Ask for anything? What'd you wish to be if I were your father?" he asked a second boy.
     "A painter as great as Rembruant."
     "Good. You are to be sent to the Fine Art School and surely you will make an even greater painter."
     When Hitler caught sight of a sad-looking boy he frowned (皺眉), then quickly forced a smile,"There my
boy, in spite of my point of view towards the Jews, I'd do you a favor and your dream will come true. What'd
you wish to be if I were your father?"
     The boy looked straight at the man.

三、閱讀理解：
It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problems and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships.
I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.
Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.
Sometimes you are resistant and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do. If they did approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog: you can’t win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents’ control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.
If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be part of that plan. You can charm others, especially parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.
36. The author is primarily addressing _______.
A. parents of teenagers              B. newspaper readers.
C. those who give advice to teenagers  D. teenagers
37. The first paragraph is mainly about _______.
A. the teenagers’ criticism of their parents.
B. misunderstanding between teenagers and their parents.
C. the dominance of the parents over their children
D. the teenagers’ ability to deal with crises.
38. Teenagers tend to have strange clothes and hairstyles because they ______.
A. want to show their existence by creating a culture of their own.
B. have a strong desire to be leaders in style and taste.
C. have no other way to enjoy themselves better.
D. want to irritate their parents.
39. To improve parent-child relationships, teenagers are advised to be _____.
A. obedient    B. responsible   C. co-operative   D. independent.

     It's easy to see how the sawfish got its name. These frightful creatures can grow to be more
than 6 meters long. Their bodies are flat and winged, like underwater airplanes. And their noses
are shaped like chainsaws.
     Sawfish are food hunters of the sea. When a sawfish is hungry, it waves its sharptoothed snout
(口鼻部) through a group of fish. Then, it lifts its nose and uses its mouth to draw the injured victims.
     Hardy (適應(yīng)力強的) population of sawfish thrived in warm waters along coastlines around the
world for thousands of years. Over the past 200 years, however, human actions have severely
endangered sawfish. Threats include fishing nets that trap the huge animals, often by mistake.
     Some people collect sawfish's snouts as prizes: One snout recently sold for nearly $1,600 online.
In some Asian cultures, the toothy snouts are used in ceremonies to drive evil and disease away. And
sawfish are also delicious. A growing demand in Asia for the fish's fins for a pricey soup has contributed
to the fish's disappearance. Compared with other fish, sawfish give birth late in life and at slow rates,
which makes it hard for them to recover from overfishing.
     New efforts now aim to restore sawfish population. Beginning next month, an international agreement
will provide protection for all seven of the world's sawfish species. Scientists are hoping that it's not too
late to save the sawfish.
     "Until 1998, this fish had never been formally studied in the United States," says Tonya Wiley of the
Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, FIA."We didn't know such basic things as where they live, what
habitat they use, how often they breed, how many young they have- even what age sawfish are when
they begin breeding."
     Through historical studies and field research, scientists have become aware of how much the fish's
numbers have decreased. Today, there may be 90 percent fewer sawfish than there used to be. Wiley
estimates that only 3,000 to 6,000 sawfish remain in US waters.
