3.Being Authoritative (由權(quán)威的) ParentsPhrases like"tiger mom"and‘‘helicopter parent"have made their way into everyday language.Many of us find ourselves drawn to the idea that with just a bit more parental hard work and effort,we might turn out children with bright futures.But is there anything wrong with a kind of"overparenting style"?
Parental involvement has a long history of being studied.Many of the studies,conducted by Diana Baumrind,a famous psychologist at the University of California,Berkeley,have found that a good parent is the one who is involved and reacts to her child in a positive way,who sets high expectations but gives her child independence.These"authoritative parents"appear to hit the sweet spot of parental involvement and generally raise children who do better academically,psychologically and socially than children whose parents are not strict and less involved,or controlling and more involved.Why is this parenting style so successful?
Authoritative parents actually help improve motivation in their children.Carol Dweck,a social psychologist at Stanford University,has done research that indicates why authoritative parents raise more motivated children.In a typical experiment,Dr.Dweck takes young children into a room and asks them to solve a simple puzzle.Most do so with little difficulty.But then Dr.Dweck tells some,but not all,of the kids how clever they are.As it turns out,the children who are not told they're smart are more motivated to solve increasingly difficult puzzles.They also show higher levels of confidence and show greater progress in puzzle-solving.
As the experiment suggests,praising children's talents and abilities seems to shake their confidence.Dealing with more difficult puzzles carries the risk of losing one's status as"smart".Dr.Dweck's work strongly supports that of Dr.Baumrind,who also found that reasonably supporting a child's independence and limiting interference (干涉) causes better academic and emotional results.
The central task of growing up is to develop a sense of self that is independent and confident.If you treat your young child who is just learning to walk as if she can't walk,you reduce her confidence.Allowing children to make mistakes is one of the greatest challenges of parenting.It is easier when they are young.The potential mistakes carry greater risks,and part of being a parent is reducing risk for our children.
24.According to the passage,a"tiger mom"D.
A.helps her children realize their dreams      
B.speaks her children's everyday language
C.places reasonable expectations on her children   
D.pays close attention to her children's experiences
25.It is implied that controlling style of parenting mayC.
A.face more challenges of children         
B.foster independence in children
C.cause more problems in children              
D.lead to children's academic success
26.The example of the children doing the puzzles suggests thatB.
A.a(chǎn) good game plays a big role in training young minds
B.overpraising makes children less motivated a nd confident
C.puzzle-solving can give children the motivation they need
D.bright children usually show less confidence in difficult games
27.The last paragraph tells us thatC.
A.children should not be given much freedom
B.parents should not increase the risk of challenging
C.parents should allow their children to learn from mistakes
D.children should correct mistakes with the help of their parents.

24:D 推理判斷題,根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段Dr.Dweck's work strongly supports that of Dr.Baumrind,who also found that reasonably supporting a child's independence and limiting interference (干涉) causes better academic and emotional results.Dweck教授的工作強(qiáng)烈支持了Baumrind的工作,Baumrind也發(fā)現(xiàn)合理地支持孩子的獨(dú)立以及限制干涉會(huì)導(dǎo)致更好的學(xué)術(shù)及情感結(jié)果.可以推斷虎媽會(huì)密切關(guān)注她的孩子們的經(jīng)歷,適度支持孩子,故選D.
25:C 推理判斷題,根據(jù)第二段These"authoritative parents appear to hit the sweet spot of parental involvement and generally raise children who do better academically,psychologically and socially than children whose parents are not strict and less involved,or controlling and more involved.這些權(quán)威性的父母會(huì)迎合父母干涉的最佳點(diǎn),而且一般撫養(yǎng)的孩子學(xué)術(shù)上和心理上及社會(huì)上會(huì)表現(xiàn)更好--相比于那些父母不嚴(yán)格、干涉少或者是控制他們而且干涉過多.可知權(quán)威型父母撫養(yǎng)孩子的學(xué)習(xí)要更好,而控制風(fēng)格的育兒可能會(huì)引起孩子更多的問題,故選C.
26:B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)第四段As it turns out,the children who are not told they're smart are more motivated to solve increasingly difficult puzzles.They also show higher levels of confidence and show greater progress in puzzle-solving.結(jié)果表明沒有被告知他們聰明的孩子在解決不斷增加難度的難題時(shí)更加有動(dòng)力,而且他們也在解決難題中表現(xiàn)出更高的自信心水平和更大的進(jìn)步.可知過度夸獎(jiǎng)讓孩子更有動(dòng)力去解決越來越難的困惑,他們也會(huì)充滿信心,故選B.
27:C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)最后一段Allowing children to make mistakes is one of the greatest challenges of parenting.It is easier when they are young.The potential mistakes carry greater risks,and part of being a parent is reducing risk for our children.允許孩子犯錯(cuò)誤是做父母的最大挑戰(zhàn)之一,當(dāng)他們(孩子)小時(shí)要容易些.潛在的錯(cuò)誤帶來更大的風(fēng)險(xiǎn),做父母的一部分就是要為我們的孩子減少風(fēng)險(xiǎn).可知父母應(yīng)該允許他們的孩子從錯(cuò)誤中學(xué)習(xí),故選C.

8.Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s.The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach to make him strong.People watched him,and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach.Popeye helped sell 33percent more spinach than before!Spinach became a necessary part of many people's diets.Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.
Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong,but this is not true.Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.
People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake.In the 1890s,a group of people studied what was inside vegetables.This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did.The group wrote the number wrong,and everyone accepted it.
Today,we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is.However,spinach does have something else which the body needs-folic acid.It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong.Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.

25.Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor?A
A.They thought spinach made them strong.
B.They thought Popeye was funny.
C.Spinach had a lot of iron.
D.People liked folic acid.

A.made Popeye strong
B.was a green vegetable
C.had less iron than other green vegetables
D.had more iron than other green vegetables
27.The reading passage says that perhaps Popeye got his strength fromB.
A.iron
B.folic acid
C.spinach

14.Green is an important color in nature.It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees.It is also the color of most growing plants.
Sometimes,the word green means young,fresh and growing.Sometimes,it describes something that is not yet ripe(成熟的) or finished.
For example,a greenhorn is someone who has no experience,who is new to a situation.In the 15th century,a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns(角) had not yet developed.A century or so later,a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle.By the 18th century,a greenhorn had the meaning it has today---a person who is new in a job.
About 100 years ago,greenhorn was a popular expression in the American west.Old-timers used it to describe a man who had just arrived from one of the big cities back east.The greenhorn lacked the skills he would need to live in the west.
Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb.The expression comes from the early 1900s.A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well.You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.
Green is also the color used to describe the powerful emotion,jealousy(嫉妒).The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space.It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play"Othello."
It describes the unpleasant feeling that a person has when someone has something that he wants.A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else.Or,that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay raise and she does not.
In most places in the world,a green light is a signal to move ahead.A green light on a traffic signal means your car can continue on.In everyday speech,a green light means approval to continue with a project.
32.If a person was a greenhorn,he mightD.
A.be good at growing plants          
B.get along well with others

12.The World Health Organization says there has been a sharp increase in the number of over-weight children in developing countries.In African countries,the WHO says the number of over-weight or obese children is twice as high as it was 20years ago.round the world,about 43million children under the age of five were overweight in 2013.
Overweight and obese children are more likely to become overweight and obese adults.The condition can generate serious health problems like heart diseases.
Francesco Branca is the director of the WHO Department of Nutrition for Health and Development.He says urban lifestyle makes people eat processed food more often,which has a high sugar,fat and salt content.He also says people are gaining weight because of their lack of activities.They travel in cars or other vehicles more than on foot.
The WHO experts say to lower obesity rates is especially complex in countries that also deal with high rates of infectious(感染性的) diseases.
The WHO has some basic solutions for individuals and countries.The organization says you should lower your intake of fat,sugar,salt and processed food and eat more fruits,vegetables and increase physical activity.The WHO says these actions are especially important for children.
And WHO expert Branca says mothers should breastfeed their babies for at least the first six months of life,if possible.More importantly,governments should consider providing vitamins for children and educational campaigns about problems linked to obesity would also help.In his view,government policies should deal with how food is marketed to children and food producers must balance quality and taste with the dangers of sugar,fat and salt."Reducing the number of overweight children will not be easy.The goal is difficult to meet even in wealthy countries."he adds.
25.What is the main idea of Paragraph l?A
A.Overweight children in developing countries have increased greatly.
B.Children in developing countries generally weigh too much.
C.The number of overweight children in the world has doubled.
D.The World Health Organization has increased greatly.
26.According to Branca,people are becoming overweight because of their changes inC
A.physical condition
B.transportation
C.Lifestyles
D.school education
27.The underlined word"generate"in Paragraph 2probably meansA.
A.cause
B.prevent
C.cure
D.worsen
28.We can learn from the last paragraph thatC.
A.babies breastfed aren't likely to become overweight
B.food producers should be stopped from marketing food to children
C.governments should play a necessary role in fighting obesity

13.When it comes to grocery shopping,we know it's wise not to go on an empty stomach,but when should you head to the supermarket to bag the best bargains?Believe it or not,there's actually one day of the week that's better than the rest.
While it may be the most convenient for you to shop on weekends,it's much cheaper to handle your grocery list on Wednesdays.According to Lifehacker,this mid-week day is when many grocery stores release new sale ads,but also honor the previous week's sale items.That means you will have more sale items at your fingertips.
MyGroceryDeals.Com also confirms that Wednesday is the best day for grocery shopping."For about half of the country,this is the day when approximately half of the retailers (零售商) start their weekly sales,"site representative Gord Crowson told GBS News.Of course,you should double-check with your local stores to be sure.
To save even more,experts say that shopping in the evening is your best bet.That means Wednesday nights are the ultimate (最后的) time to buy."This is the time when perishables(易腐物品) are typically reduced for quick sales,"Crowson added."If the Produce,Bakery or Meat departments are concerned about having too much stock(庫存;存貨) left over at the end of the day,they will often reduce the price by up to 50percent to encourage quick sales."
So,when your refrigerator needs to be restocked,make time to shop on Wednesday nights.You'll give yourself the best chance to score the biggest deals on your meals.

45.To buy groceries,which time may be highly recommended?C
A.Wednesdays before dinner.
B.Weekends before dinner
C.Wednesdays after dinner            
D.Weekends after dinner
46.According to the passage,it can be learned thatA.
A.a(chǎn)bout half the retailers may start their weekly sales on Wednesdays
B.new sale ads are always released by grocery stores at weekends
C.the price of most groceries will be reduced by half at weekends
D.the mid-week day may be the most convenient for people to shop
47.According to the passage,it can be inferred that on WednesdaysA.
A.not all items are reduced for quick sales         
 B.perishables are usually not available
C.many stores stop their weekly sales             
D.shoppers'refrigerators tend to be empty.
