16．Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance （pocket money）．The purpose is to let children learn from experiences at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly．
The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family．Timing is another consideration．Some children get a weekly allowance．Others get a monthly allowance．
     In any case，parents should make clear what，if anything，the child is expected to pay for with the money．At first，young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it．If they do this，they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget （預(yù)算）．Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance．The object is to show young people that a budget demands a choice between spending and saving．Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs，like clothing or electronics．
   Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home．These jobs are a normal part of family life．Paying children to do extra work around the house，however，can be useful．It can even provide an understanding of how a business works．
     Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money．They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause．They can spend it by buying things they want．Or they can save it．
     Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice．You have to cut costs and plan for the future．Requiring children to save part of their allowances can also open the door to future saving and investing．Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance．A saving account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest．
     Compounding works by paying interest．So，for example，one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year．The second year，the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents，and so on．That may not seem like a lot，but over time it adds up．
32．Parents give their children allowances in order toC．
A．show off their wealth of family    
B．let them make more money
C．learn the value of money         
D．help children manage family finance
33．What is the second paragraph mainly about？D
A．The time to give allowances
B．The way to spend alloweances．
C．the amount of allowances given to children．
D．Considerations taken to give allowances．
34．Why are parents adivsed to offer yougn children allowances stricktly as planned？A
A．To help children learn to make a budget．
B．To have children save money for larger costs．
C．To let children make fewer mistakes．
D．To give them more allowances next time．
35．What does the author intend to tel lthe readers？C
A．The methods of limiting allowances．
B．The advice on a better family budget．
C．Teaching children to use allowances wisely．
D．Offering allowances to children properly．

分析 這是一篇記敘文，本文講述的是孩子處理零花錢的方式以及家長在錢的問題上如何教育孩子問題．

解答 CDAC
32：答案 C 細節(jié)理解題．由第一段"Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance（pocket money）．The purpose is to let children learn from experiences at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly．"可知，父母給孩子零花錢是為了讓他們從小就通過實踐理解到金錢的價值，故正確答案為C．33：答案 D主旨大意題．第二段"The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family．Timing is another consideration．Some children get a weekly allowance．Others get a monthly allowance．"大意為"父母給孩子零花錢的多少每個家庭都會不同，時間也是一方面考慮，有的孩子一周得到一次零花錢，有的孩子一月一次"．由此可知，第二段介紹的是給孩子零花錢時所考慮的因素，故正確答案為D．
34：答案 A  細節(jié)理解題．由第三段倒數(shù)第二句"Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance．The object is to show young people that a budget demands a choice between spending and saving．"可知，父母應(yīng)該按計劃給孩子發(fā)零花錢，目的是為了讓孩子們知道，消費和儲蓄之間存在選擇．即幫助孩子學(xué)著做預(yù)算，故正確答案為A．
35：答案 C 主旨大意題．文章主要講通過給孩子零花錢來教育孩子怎樣合理使用零花錢，如買想要的東西，存起來等等，從而培養(yǎng)孩子的金錢觀念，所以C項正確．A項，限制零花錢的方法，偏離文章主旨，所以A項錯誤．B項，對家庭預(yù)算的建議，偏離文章主旨，所以B項錯誤．D項，合理地給孩子發(fā)零用錢，只是文章一部分內(nèi)容，所以D項錯誤．故正確答案為C．

點評 任何一種閱讀方法或技巧的使用，都是由篇章特點和試題本身的要求決定的，應(yīng)根據(jù)不同的體裁和試題要求采取不同的策略．
1、瀏覽．瀏覽的主要目的就是確定文章的體裁．如果文章屬于人物傳記、記敘文、故事、科普小品和有關(guān)社會文化、文史知識的文章，一般來說，應(yīng)該先看看文章的試題考查內(nèi)容，對題目類型做到心中有數(shù)，針對不同問題，在通讀時有粗有細地去閱讀，這樣不僅能把握篇章的基本結(jié)構(gòu)和邏輯線索，也能做好有關(guān)具體事實信息考查的試題．
2、挖掘寓意，掌握中心思想，推出結(jié)論．任何文章，作者在行文時都有一定的寫作目的和主要話題．在通讀篇章時應(yīng)該吃透作者的寫作意圖，抓住文章的主題句，充分發(fā)揮自己的想象力和概括力，作出對中心思想的歸納和結(jié)論的推斷．
3、把握篇章結(jié)構(gòu)，利用上下文進行推測．高考中的閱讀理解篇章往往是一個較完整的短文，其結(jié)構(gòu)、思想，前后上下連貫統(tǒng)一．考試時應(yīng)充分利用這一特點推測一些生詞、短語在句中的含義，切莫盲目孤立猜測．
4、綜觀全篇，前后呼應(yīng)．這是閱讀理解的最后一步，在做完閱讀理解題后，要立足于文章整體，再迅速讀一遍短文，短文中的問題和答案的設(shè)置前后都是相關(guān)聯(lián)的，有著一定的連續(xù)性，體現(xiàn)著文章的基本脈絡(luò)．

7．John was part of my childhood growing up in the 1970s and a link to sunny，fun-filled days spent on the beach at Bangor in the Northern Ireland where we went for our summer holidays．To many，he was a mystery．Every afternoon John would wander to the end of the pier（碼頭） where he fed the seagulls（海鷗）and delighted in the sound of their excited cries as they flew around his head．
Often I asked my family questions regarding John．Eventually I gave up as no one could tell me anything about him．As I grew up，my visit to the beach became less frequent，and my memories of John buried in a child's imagination．
Last year memories came flooding back as I walked along the coastline，where I noticed a lady feeding the seagulls on the pier，and I decided to introduce myself．Then I came to know that the lady was John's daughter，and after John left this world she carried out the ritual （慣例），which had held such importance for her father．
In some strange way I felt we shared a bond，each needing to remember．In return，Lucy told me of John's life，his days in the British Navy（海軍）during World War I and how he almost lost hope when his ship was attacked by a German U-boat in the North Sea and he found himself in a lifeboat with five others．
Close to death，he thought he heard the sound of wings．He put up his hands，only to catch a seagull that had landed on the side of the boat．The seagull saved the lives of the six men as it was used to catch fish，which kept them alive until they reached land．This period of John's life was one he never talked about．But the ritual he first performed as a young man remained a part of him until he died．
Now I visit Lucy as often as I can，just to chat or very often walk along the beach to the pier end．We enjoy the comfortable silence，each lost in special memories．
66．Seeing John feeding the seagulls，the author might feelC．
A．proud    B．worried      C．curious     D．guilty
67．Why did the author introduce herself to the lady？D

B．She was also fond of feeding seagulls．
C．She was told the lady was John's daughter．

A．a(chǎn) seagull  
B．a(chǎn) German U-boat
C．his daughter

B．was a man with a grateful（感恩的）heart
C．spent all his life in Bangor
D．joined the navy in the 1970s
70．What does the author mainly tell us in the text？C
A．She expressed her thanks to a seagull that saved her life．
B．She told us the story of how she made friends with a lady．
C．She shared with us her memories of a man who fed seagulls．

4．The seventh-inning stretch is one baseball tradition that helps make the game one of America's favorite pastimes．In the middle of the seventh inning（局）fans ritualistically stand and stretch before the home team comes to bat．
No one really knows the origin of the custom，but there are theories on how it started．Baseball historian Dan Daniel provided this explanation："It probably began as an expression of fatigue．That would explain why the stretch comes late in the game instead of at the halfway point．"
A more popular story involves President William Howard Taft and the birth of two baseball traditions．According to the account，Taft attended the first game of the 1910baseball season．On the spur of the moment，plate umpire（裁判） Billy Evans gave Taft the ball．He asked him to throw it over the plate．Taft did so，and the custom of having the president launch the baseball season with the first pitch was born．
The story continues that later that same day，President Taft，who weighed well over 300pounds，became uncomfortable in his small chair．In the middle of the seventh inning，he stood up to stretch his legs．The crowd thought that the president was leaving，so they stood up out of respect．A few moments later，Taft sat down again．The fans followed，and the seventh-inning stretch was born．What a day for traditions!
No matter how the tradition began，fans have since added to the fun．Now，as they stand to stretch during the seventh inning，they can sing along to Jack Norworth's 1927version of the song"Take Me Out to the Ball Game"after the visiting team has batted．

65．Which of the following best defines the word"ritualistically"in Paragraph 1？C
A．Attracting attention．
B．Showing excitement．
C．Continuing a custom．
D．Releasing anxiety．
66．The seventh-inning stretch is celebrated with the song"Take Me Out to the Ball Game"B．
A．a(chǎn) few moments after the beginning
B．a(chǎn)fter the visiting team has batted in the seventh inning
C．between the sixth and seventh innings
D．a(chǎn)fter the home team has batted in the seventh inning
67．In the more popular story，C．
A．Billy Evans attended the first game of the 1910baseball season
B．Taft asked Billy Evans to throw the ball over the plate
C．President Taft stood up to stretch his legs to relax himself
D．the crowd thought the president didn't respect the players．
68．How did the custom of following the"seventh-inning stretch"begin？
A
A．No one knows for sure where or when the custom began．
B．Jack Norworth started the tradition with the song in 1927．
C．Fans used it as a time to stand and stretch their legs after sitting for the first six innings．
D．William Howard Taft stood up and the rest of the fans stood in honor of the president．

11．Parents used to rely on physical punishments to control their children's bad behavior，which has been proven to be very harmful．Therefore，most parents now choose to simply yell，thinking that language probably won't hurt as much．But is that really so？
    Using harsh words such as"lazy"or"stupid"is just as harmful as hitting，according to a new study carried out at the University of Pittsburgh，US．"It cannot reduce or correct their problem behavior，"said Professor Ming-Te Wang，leader of the study，in an interview with The Wall Street Journal．"On the contrary，it makes it worse．"
    In the study，which involved 976 two-parent families，researchers asked the kids about their behavior problems，while asking their parents how often they had yelled at them． Nearly half of the parents admitted that they'd shouted at their children in the past year．Researchers noted that the kids whose parents used more harsh words experienced more behavior problems after-wards，including fighting，stealing，lying as well as symptoms of depression．
"Adolescence is a very sensitive period when kids are trying Lo develop their self-identities（個性）．When you yell，it makes them feel they are not capable，and that they are worthless and useless，"Wang said．"This may explain why so many parents say that no matter how loud they shout，their teenagers don't listen．          
While harsh yelling can stop bad behavior in the moment，it doesn't teach children to behave how parents want them to，according to Professor Alan Kazdin of Yale University，US．What parents need is to praise their children for good behavior．If parents really need to punish their kids，they should try things like taking away smartphones and reminding them that good behavior will get themback． After all，"we want to teach kids，not hurt them，"said Kazdin．
 
46．How do most parents react to their children's misbehaving now？C
A．Letting them alone．
B．Beating them．
C．Shouting at them．      
D．Praising them．
47．The study finds that using harsh words．A
A．can make things even worse  
B．inspires children to do better
C．corrects children's bad behavior
D．has a better effect than hitting
48．According to Professor Ming-Te Wang，D． 
A．physical punishments are sometimes necessary
B．children are more self-centered in adolescence
C．parents should never punish kids for misbehaving
D．harsh yelling damages children's self-confidence
49．In Professor Alan Kazdin's opinion，parents shouldC      
A．set good examples for their children
B．take away their children's smartphones
C．praise their children for good behavior
D．a(chǎn)lways think in their children's shoes
50．What does the underlined word"them"in the last paragraph refer to？D
A．children            
B．bad behaviors      
C．parents  
D．smartphones．

1．The British psychoanalyst John Bowlby maintains that separation from the parents during the sensitive"attachment"period from birth to three may scar a child's personality and lead to emotional problems in later life．Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlby's work that children should not be subjected to day care before the age of three because of the parental separation it causes，and many people do believe this．But there are also arguments against such a strong conclusion．
Firstly，anthropologists point out that the insulated love affair between children and parents found in modern societies does not usually exist in traditional societies．For example，in some tribal societies，such as the Ngoni，the father and mother of a child did not bring up their infant alone-far from it．Secondly，common sense tells us that day care would not be so widespread today if parents，care-takers found children had problems with it．Statistical studies of this kind have not yet been carried out，and even if they were，the results would be certain to be complicated and controversial．
Thirdly，in the last decade，there have been a number of careful American studies of children in day care，and they have uniformly reported that day care had a neutral or slightly positive effect on children's development．But tests that have had to be used to measure this development are not widely enough accepted to settle the issue．
But Bowlby's analysis raises the possibility that early day care has delayed effects．The possibility that such care might lead to，say，more mental illness or crime 15 or 20 years later can only be explored by the use of statistics．Whatever the long-term effects，parents sometimes find the immediate effects difficult to deal with．Children under three are likely to protest at leaving their parents and show unhappiness．At the age of three or three and a half almost all children find the transition to nursery easy，and this is undoubtedly why more and more parents make use of child care at this time．The matter，then，is far from clear-cut，though experience and available evidence indicate that early care is reasonable for infants．
74．The passage primarily argues whetherC．
A．day care should be widely spread
B．the family relationship is different in traditional societies
C．children under three should be sent to nursery schools
D．children over three will stop crying when leaving parents
75．The underlined word"it"in the first paragraph most probably meansA．
A．children's being subjected to day care           
B．the conclusion from Bowlby's work
C．the sensitive"attachment"period                  
D．a(chǎn) child's personality
76．Which of the following statements is NOT against Bowlby's theory？B
A．Day care is safe，otherwise there wouldn't be so many nursery schools．
B．Parents find the immediate effects of early day care difficult to deal with．
C．Many studies show that day care has a positive effect on children's development．
D．Separation from parent for very young children is common in some traditional societies．
77．The writer's attitude towards early day care is thatD．
A．children under three should stay with their parents
B．the effects of early day care on children are exaggerated
C．early day care has positive effects on children's development
D．the issue is controversial and its settlement calls for the use of statistics．

8．No rows of desks in this classroom，and no teacher lecturing at the front．In fact，that's something Barrie teacher Liz Collett rarely does．Instead，she's on the move，talking to students about their work，from the small group sitting on the floor playing games to others nearby figuring out a math problem．
   The children in this class do not take a spelling test all year-in fact，the school avoids all pencil-and-paper tests-nor do they get assigned homework．Instead，their teacher gives them immediate feedback（反饋） on their work throughout the day．
   Welcome to the school of the 21st century，a place where teachers and students cooperate all the time．Such advanced classrooms are trying things，which some might consider as coddling kids-letting students give a voice-recorded essay instead of a written one or even allowing teens to design their own courses．
   Though some people blame schools for dumbing things down （降低教育標準），others will say such changes are actually based on the newest research on how to attract today's youth and increase not only their interests，but also their achievements．Many of today's school are not holding kid's interests．And if they're not interested，they're not learning-and isn't that the point？
"Students today say they want their education to be useful and valuable，and don't want it to be simply repeating the facts．That's the kind of learning that be happening for many kids，"says Penny Milton，a researcher．"What we could argue is that to become good learners，they need to become thinkers．"
   Jan Olson，anther researcher，says schools have been operating the same way since the Industrial Revolution．But the digital age is bringing an education revolution．While using technology is a part of it，what's important for students is being able to use information and understand it，not just remembering it．
   Today's learner needs fewer traditional tests and more"effective"feedback，ongoing discussion with a teacher，which studies have found is the number one factor in improving achievement．
25．The first two paragraphs are used toB．
A．blame Liz for not being responsible for her work
B．describe what schools are like in the 21st century
C．give an example of a successful school lesson
D．question whether it is right not to assign homework
26．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 means"some people may think it as a way ofA"
A．spoiling children                   
B．making children become lazy
C．leading children to make mistakes   
D．caring about children
27．Jan Olson thinks it important for students toC．
A．repeat the facts without really thinking
B．learn something related to technology
C．make full use of information
D．use technology to improve their grades
28．Which is the most effective way to help students achieve more？D
A．Assigning more homework             
B．Offering immediate answers．
C．Giving more pencil-and-paper tests
D．Holding more discussions with them．

5．Emotional Intelligence （EQ or EI） is a set of abilities or petencies that enable us to understand and manage ourselves and our emotions effectively．EQ also helps us understand and effectively relate to others．Stress tolerance，leadership，munication，social responsibility，problem solving and creativity all require high EQ．
Here are some of the major emotional intelligence competences that make up a fully integrated personality as well as a sample of a state of the art assessment that measures EQ．
Emotional Expression-The ability to express your feelings and instincts（本能）．Emotional expression is a necessary part of your day．
EmotionalA wareness of Others-The ability to hear，sense or intuit what other people may be feeling from their words，body language（not verbal） or other direct or indirect clues．
Flexibility-The ability to bounce back，be flexible，and retain curiosity and hope in the face of adversity，change or challenge．
Optimism-B eing positive and optimistic．
EQ is recognized to be one of the most important predictors of personal，business and professional success．In a world of unprecedented change and challenge it is our ability to increase our EQ that will help us build the leadership，transparent munication and collaboration to lead better lives，do better business and contribute to a better world．
IQ may get you the client，but your EQ skills will help you keep the client and build a growing practice．Why？B ecause，while human beings like to make their decisions m an intelligent way to purchase a product or a service，the bottom line remains that we buy services and products from those we trust and like．It is our ability to trust and like another person that makes us feel comfortable with the relationship and inspires the desire to have or to purchase something from them．
It is the human ability to put instincts，emotions and thoughts into the correct position in relation to each other that gives us the competence to increase our emotional intelligence．A nd it is the human ability to use the changes and challenges we face to develop self awareness and emotional management that helps us communicate better．
With appropriate education and training，Emotional Intelligence can be developed throughout our lives．Like most human competences，Emotional Intelligence is best increased in the learning and the doing，and that is why EQ focused coaching is so powerful
