12．Family Values
To understand a nation，you should first get to know its minimum unit-family．（71）B   In the US，upon reaching an appropriate age （usually between 18and 21years），children are encouraged，but not forced，to"leave the nest"and begin an independent life．（72）DParents do not arrange marriages for their children，nor do children usually ask permission of their parents to get married．Youn g adults meet their future spouses  （配偶）  through other friends，at jobs，and in organizations and religious institutions．Although children choose their own spouses，
they still hope their parents will approve of their choices．
Parents feel that children should make major life decisions by themselves in many families．A parent may try to influence a child to follow a particular profession but the child is free to choose another job．（73）F  A son may deliberately decide not to go into his father's business because of a fear that he will lose his independence in his father's workplace．This independence from parents is not an indication that parents and children do not love each other．Strong love between parents and children is universal and this is no exception in the American family．
（74）AIt is not like we Chinese．Parents are rulers and masters．We Chinese love our parents with fear and total respect．In America，children always have their own opinions and even can talk about some sensitive problems with their parents，like family financial situation，the relationship between mother and father，and even sex．
（75）E Therefore，it is contrary that，on one hand，Americans admire independence and equality that they don't want to make sacrifice to make up a family，but on the other hand，Americans think highly of family in their value system．

A．In the American family，children and parents are equal．
B．It can reflect the traditional values and customs of a nation．
C．When it comes to big problems，children do not have to always follow their parents'ways．
D．After children leave home，they often find social relationship and financial support outside the  family．
E．Although Americans pay much attention to independence and equality，they don't believe in making sacrifice．
F．Sometimes children do precisely the opposite of what their parents wish in order to declare their independence．
G．Many of them are expected to leave what could be life's most important decision-marriage-almost entirely up to luck．

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了家庭的重要性，美國家庭和中國家庭價(jià)值觀的不同．

解答 70．B．考查句意理解和上下文串聯(lián)：根據(jù)上文：To understand a nation，you should first get to know its minimum unit-family．可知：家庭可以反應(yīng)一個(gè)國家傳統(tǒng)的價(jià)值觀，答案是：B．
72．D．考查句意理解和上下文串聯(lián)：根據(jù)上文：In the US，upon reaching an appropriate age （usually between 18 and 21 years），children are encouraged，but not forced，to"leave the nest"and begin an independent life．可知：在孩子離開家后，他們經(jīng)常在家庭以外找到社會(huì)關(guān)系和財(cái)政支持，答案是：D．
73．F．考查句意理解和上下文串聯(lián)：根據(jù)上文：可知：有時(shí)孩子做的事情和父母希望的不一樣，以此表明自己獨(dú)立了，A parent may try to influence a child to follow a particular profession but the child is free to choose another job．答案是：F．
74．A．考查句意理解和上下文串聯(lián)：根據(jù)下文：It is not like we Chinese．Parents are rulers and masters．可知：在美國，孩子和父母是平等的，答案是：A．
75．E．考查句意理解和上下文串聯(lián)：根據(jù)下文：Therefore，it is contrary that，on one hand，Americans admire independence and equality that they don't want to make sacrifice to make up a family，可知：雖然美國人重視獨(dú)立和平等，他們不相信犧牲，答案是：E．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 七選五閱讀是完成性閱讀，和完形填空很類似，不同的是一個(gè)選詞，一個(gè)選句子．解題時(shí)，要注意上下文語境，充分考慮信息詞（選項(xiàng)中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的詞），選出最符合語境的句子．

3．A、To be organized                                  
B、To be creative
C、To distinguish between primary and secondary          
D、To be a good listener
E、To be patient                                     
F、To have a positive attitude

（61）EOf course knowledge of your subject is important，but when you're teaching people the key is to understand that not everyone learns in the same way，or at the same speed．So you have to accept this and not get frustrated if someone seems to be talking longer to understand a point．It is really important to remember this point．
（62）CThere are a lot of books about management theory，maybe too many of them，but for me it's all down to one thing：the ability to tell what's urgent and important from what isn't．We have a lot of different advertising projects and promotions going on at any one time and I have to decide what needs working on now and what can wait．This ability is not within easy reach，and learning and practice are really indispensable．
（63）FAs is known to all，no one likes rejection，but in my line of work you have to accept that sometimes people are going to say"no"．It is inevitable and you have to confront this kind of frustrations．Actually，the critical point is how you deal with failure．If you don't remain optimistic and move on to the next customer or prospect with enthusiasm，then you are not going to get very far．This ability is of absolute necessity for this kind of job．
（64）AI've been very lucky-at least most of my colleagues think so-in that my bosses have always been nice，patient types．I've been working for the same boss now for nine years，keeping her diary，organizing her travel and making sure she always has the right information to hand．I see my main role as trying to keep everything in order for her so that she can approach her work feeling calm and supposed．But of course，not all people have this luck like mine．
（65）DThere are not so any of us anymore．I think only a few big companies still have an internal medical service．That's a shame because the health of the staff has a big effect on morale．Also，if you have a lot of people absent through sickness it can really affect the bottom line．My role is to be aware of what the current health issues and risks are and to take actions to prevent those ones hurting the company．So I spend most of my time listening to people and gathering information．Believe it or not，it sounds pretty easy，but actually not so easy to do it well either in our work or in our lives．

20．Communicating with your child is challenging as parents learn to navigate the dos and don'ts of effective talking．However，more and more parents struggle to communicate with their children．Even adults who work with children every day--teachers or coaches--sometimes need some communication tips．（71）DTelling a child to do his homework or get more sleep isn't really communication．It's important information that your child needs，but it lacks an important part of communication．It lacks the two-way exchange of feelings and ideas（72）E．The American Academy of Pediatrics states，"Healthy communication--the kind that builds a strong two-way bridge-is crucial in helping your child develop a healthy personality and good relationships with you and others．It gives your child a chance to become a happy，safe，healthy person，no matter what happens．"
（73）CEffective communication between parents and children is not always easy．Children and adults have different communication styles and different ways of responding in a conversation．The following tips are designed to make communication more successful．
Listen
    Stop what you are doing and pay attention．
    Don't interrupt．
    Reserve judgment until your child has finished and has asked you for a response．
    Look
    Be aware of your child's facial expression and body language．Is your child nervous or uncomfortable--frowning，tapping a foot，looking at the clock？Or does your child seem relaxed--smiling，looking you in the eyes？（74）GRespond
"I am very concerned about…"or"I understand that it is sometimes difficult…"are better ways to respond to your child than beginning sentences with"You should"or"If I were you"．（75）ABesides，it often sounds thoughtful．
Make sure you understand what your child means．Repeat things to your child for confirmation．
A．Speaking for oneself is less likely to be considered an automatic response．
B．These sentences require your child to look at the hidden meaning behind them．
C．So you know it's important，but how do you make it？
D．Many times adults confuse communication with telling a child what to do．
E．True communication takes two people．
F．Take a 5-minute break to calm down before continuing．
G．Reading these signs will help you know how your child is feeling．

7．Have you ever felt sick to your stomach during a test？Have you ever been so worried about something that you ended up with a terrible headache？
If so，then you know what it's like to feel stress．You've probably heard people say，"Wow，I'm really stressed out．"（16）B But children have lots of things going on in their lives that can cause stress，too．
What is stress？
Stress is what you feel when you are worried or uncomfortable about something．This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad．You may feel angry，frustrated，scared，or afraid---which can give you a stomachache or a headache．
What causes stress？
Plenty of things can cause stress in a child's life．（17）GGood or normal stress might show up when you're called on in class or when you have to give a report．Have you ever gotten butterflies in your stomach or sweaty hands？Those can be signs of good stress．（18）A For example，you may do a better job on your book report if the anxiety inspires you to prepare well before you get up and read it to the class．
But bad stress can happen if the stressful feelings keep going over time．You may not feel well if your parents are fighting，if a family member is sick，if you're having problems at school，or if you're going through anything else that makes you upset every day．（19）F
Once you recognize that you're feeling stressed，there are several things you can do．You can try talking about what's bothering you with an adult you trust，like a parent or teacher．（20）C An adult may have ideas about how to solve whatever is worrying you or making you uncomfortable．

A．This kind of stress can help you to get things done．
B．Maybe you hear adults say those kinds of things all the time．
C．Bring up what's been on your mind and how it makes you feel．
D．Everyone experiences stress at times---adults，teens，and even kids．
E．There are ways to reduce stress and manage the stress that's unavoidable．
F．That kind of stress isn't going to help you，and it can actually make you sick．
G．The trick is to remember that some types of stress are good and others are
bad．

4．It was one of the hottest days of the dry season．We had not seen rain in almost a month．The crops were dying．Cows had stopped giving milk．The streams were long gone back into the earth．If we didn't see some rain soon we would lose everything．
I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six-year old son，Billy，walking toward the woods．He was obviously walking with a great effort…trying to be as still as possible．Minutes after he disappeared into the woods，he came running out again，toward the house．
Moments later，however，he was once again walking in that slow purposeful long step toward the woods．This activity went on for over an hour：walking cautiously to the woods，then running back to the house．Finally，my curiosity got the best of me．I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey．
He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked； being very careful not to spill the water he held in them．Branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them．He had a much greater purpose．As I leaned in to spy on him，I saw the most amazing site．
Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him．But Billy walked right up to them．I almost screamed for him to get away．And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground，obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion，lift its head with great effort to lap up the water cupped in my beautiful boy's hand．
I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart I have ever known working so hard to save a life．As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground，they were suddenly joined by other drops…and more drops…and more．I looked up at the sky．It was as if God，Himself，was weeping with pride．

25．Why did the author follow her son？C
