Parents often assume that time spent with their kids will gradually decrease in adolescence. But a new study suggests that while teens try to avoid spending a lot of time together with their parents, private parent-child meetings may actually increase in their early adolescent years. And that may raise a teenager’s self-esteem (自尊) an social confidence, especially if it is time spent with Dad, the researchers added.

The researchers created a long-term study in which they invited families in 16 school districts in central Pennsylvania to participate. In each family, a teenager, a younger sibling, their mother and their father were interviewed at home and then asked about their activities and self-worth five times over a period of seven years.

The study authors were surprised to discover that when fathers spent more time alone with their teenagers, the kids reported they felt better about themselves. Something about the father’s role in the family seemed to improve self-esteem among the teenagers in the study, said study author Susan McHale, a professor of human development at Pennsylvania State University.

“Time spent with Dad often involves joking, teasing and other playful interactions. Fathers, as compared to mothers, were more involved in leisure activities and had more friend-like interactions with their children, which is crucial for youth social development,” the study showed.

But Marta Flaum, a psychologist in Chappaqua , New York, said, “How these findings reflect the real world is a real question. The sample in the study is so small and so unrepresentative of more families in the country today that I’m not sure how much we can generalizing from it. In my community, in Westchester County, I don’t see parents and teenagers spending much time together at all. Parents are often working so hard and have less time to be together with their kids.”

However, Flaum encourages parents tom make time for their kids no matter how much work they have to do. “Research like this reminds us of how important it is. The time we have with them is so short, ” she said.

1.According to the study, when teenagers spend more time alone with their fathers, ________.

A. their social skills will be improved

B. their fathers will better understand them

C. they will be willing to help their siblings

D. their family will spend more time together

2.What is Flaun’s attitude towards the findings of the study?

A. Unconcerned B. Favorable C. Puzzled D. Skeptical

3.What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph probably refer to?

A. The research by Susan McHale.

B. The work to be done.

C. Parents’ encouragement.

D. Parents’ making time for their kids.

4.Where is the passage more likely to have been taken from?

A. A science magazine B. A news report

C. A research plan D. an advertisement

It was Thanksgiving morning. I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step.

“Any old papers, lady?” asked one of them.

I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals(涼鞋), wet with heavy snow.

“Come in and I'll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”

They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.

The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich?”

“Am I rich? Pity, no!”

I looked at my worn­out slipcovers(椅套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟)carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.

Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.

I tasted the potatoes and stirred(攪動)the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too.

I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy marks of little sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.

1.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A.Lady, are you rich?

B.A story of Thanksgiving Day

C.Don't forget how rich you are

D.Does cups and saucers match well?

2.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A.The girl thought the writer was rich just because she wanted to make the writer happy.

B.The writer had thought she wasn't rich because her supplies were not expensive.

C.If cups and saucers match well, they are a best pair even though cheap.

D.After hearing what they said, the writer seemed to understand what a rich life was.

3.The writer left the muddy marks of little sandals on the floor for a while to________.

A.show that she was a kind­hearted lady

B.remind her that she shouldn't forget how rich she was

C.leave room for readers to think about what being rich is

D.prove that she had understood what meant being rich

4.It can be inferred from the text that whether you are rich depends on________.

閱讀表達(dá),閱讀下面的短文和問題,根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,在相應(yīng)題號后的橫線上寫下相關(guān)信息,完成對該問題的回答。答語要意思清楚,結(jié)構(gòu)正確,書寫工整。

Space tourism is the term used to describe space travel for entertaining purposes. What was once only a dream-described in books such as Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey—is now becoming a reality.

Futurologists are scientists who attempt to develop predictions of what life will be like in the future. After the first man landed on the moon in 1969, they thought that hotels would be built on the moon by the year 2000. Futurologists also considered the possibility that, in the 21 st century, families might go for a holiday on the moon. Neither of these predictions has come true yet—but the rapid development of technology may mean these predictions are a possibility in the years to come.

Space Adventures is currently the only company to have succeeded in sending paying passengers into space. Space Adventures worked with the Federal Space Agency of the Russian Federation and Rocket and Space Corporation Energia to offer flights for the world's first private space explorers. Each person paid over $20 million for their 10-day trip to the International Space Station.

Following several successful explorations into space, several companies are now considering the possibility of enabling tourists to visit space. In order to make it more affordable, suborbital space travel is being considered by many companies, including Virgin Galactic. Passengers would be transported to a height of between 100-160km above earth, experience 3-6 minutes of weightlessness and a view of the stars before being taken back down to earth. This is expected to cost around $200, 000 per person.

While it could be an enriching experience, there are some disadvantages to space tourism. Many critics (評論家) have commented that a huge growth in the spaceflight industry could drastically speed up the process of global warming. In addition, space travel is only really a possibility for the super-rich. Although Virgin Galactic claims to be "opening space to the rest of us", there are still millions' of people worldwide who wouldn't be able to afford it.

1.What are the futurologists' predictions about? (不多于8個(gè)單詞)

______________________________________________________________________

2.Which company has succeeded in sending paying passengers into space? (不多于2個(gè)單詞)

______________________________________________________________________
