In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition (學(xué)會(huì)) of each new skill m the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.
Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe (嚴(yán)格的) over time of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness.
As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that "example is better than precept". If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach (說教), their children may grow confused when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.
A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents' principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.
【小題1】Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new skills, _________________.

A．should be avoided
B．is universal among parents
C．sets up dangerous states of worry in the child

【小題2】 In the process of children’s learning new skills, parents _________________.
A．should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read
B．should expect a lot of the children
C．should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own
D．should create as many learning opportunities as possible

A．parents should be strict with their children
B．parental controls reflect only the values of the community
C．parental restrictions vary, and are not always for the benefit of the children alone
D．it’s parents’ and society’s duty to control the children
【小題4】The word “precept” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_________________”.
A．opinion B．punishment C．behavior D．instruction
【小題5】In terms of moral matters, parents should _____________________.
A．follow the rules themselves
B．be aware of the huge difference between adults and children
C．forbid their children to follow hook teachings

解析在孩子成長(zhǎng)過程中，父母不能拔苗助長(zhǎng)。父母對(duì)孩子的“嚴(yán)”與“松”之間應(yīng)有一個(gè)恰
當(dāng)?shù)亩�。關(guān)于道德教育問題，父母應(yīng)該以身作則，帶頭遵循,“榜樣比說教更有力”。
【小題1】B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一自然段開頭In bringing up children，every parent watches
eagerly the child's acquisition of each new skill，既然是每位父母都會(huì)這樣做，那么這種做法在
父母中就是普遍的，故選B。根據(jù)文章第一自然段第二句，選項(xiàng)C。sets up dangerous states of
worry in the child是由hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate引起的，“迫不及待地要
求孩子做超出其自然成長(zhǎng)速度的事情”和“熱切地觀察孩子學(xué)會(huì)每一項(xiàng)新技能”顯然不是一
回事，作者對(duì)后者沒有否定之意，所以A不對(duì)。根據(jù)文章第一自然段末句，選項(xiàng)取D。will
make him lose interest in learning new things是由a child is left alone too much, or without any
learning opportunities引起的。故D也不合文意。
【小題2】C 推理判斷題。文章第一自然段第二句It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his
natural learning rate，but this can set Up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the
child，說明在孩子成長(zhǎng)過程中，父母不能拔苗助長(zhǎng)。文章第一段末句又說：On the other hand，
though，if a child is left alone too much，or without any learning opportunities，he loses his natural
enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself，說明對(duì)孩子太放任自流同樣
不利。根據(jù)這兩方面，應(yīng)選C，父母對(duì)孩子的“嚴(yán)”與“松”之間應(yīng)有一個(gè)恰當(dāng)?shù)亩取?br />【小題3】C 主旨大意題。文章第二自然段的大意是:“父母對(duì)孩子的嚴(yán)格程度有很大的不同”。
【小題4】D 詞義推測(cè)題．四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的意思分別是：A. opinion (觀點(diǎn))；B. punishment(懲罰)；C.
bebaviour(行為)；D．instruction(說教，源于instruct)。根據(jù)文章第三段第三，四句Also，parents
should realize that “example is better than precept”．If they are not sincere and do not practice
what they preach(說教)…可以推測(cè)，precept應(yīng)表達(dá)與example對(duì)立的意思，且與preach是同
義詞，引語(yǔ)的意思是“榜樣比說教更有力”，故選項(xiàng)D為最佳選項(xiàng)。
【小題5】A 推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章第三自然段第四句，再根據(jù)文章最后一段，可以得出結(jié)論，
關(guān)于道德教育問題，父母應(yīng)該以身作則，帶頭遵循，(參見上一小題之解析)，故選A。

During her junior year of high school, Diane Ray's teacher handed her a worksheet and instructed the 17-year-old to map out her future financial life. Ray pretended to buy a car, rent an apartment, and apply for a credit card.  Then, she and her classmates played the "stock market game", investing（投資) the hypothetical（虛擬的） earnings from their hypothetical jobs in the market in the disastrous fall of 2008. "Our pretend investments crashed," Ray says, still frightened. "We got to know how it felt to lose money."
That pain of earning and losing money is a feeling that public schools increasingly want to teach. Forty states now offer some type of financial instruction at the high-school level, teaching students how to balance checkbooks and buy stock in math and social-studies classes. Though it's too early to measure the full influence of the Great Recession（大蕭條）, the interest in personal-finance classes has risen since 2007 when bank failures started to occur regularly. Now, many states including Missouri, Utah, and Tennessee require teenagers to take financial classes to graduate from high school. School districts such as Chicago are encouraging money-management classes for kids as young as primary school, and about 300 colleges or universities now offer online personal-finance classes for incoming students. "These classes really say, 'This is how you live independently,' " says Ted Beck, president of National Endowment for Financial Education.
Rather than teach investment methods or financial skills, these courses offer a back-to-the-basics approach to handling money: Don't spend what you don't have. Put part of your monthly salary into a savings account, and invest in the stock market for the long-term rather than short-term gains. For Ray, this means dividing her earnings from her part-time job at a fast-food restaurant into separate envelopes for paying bills, spending and saving.  "Money is so hard to make but so easy to spend," she says one weekday after school. "That is the big takeaway."
Teaching kids about the value of cash certainly is one of the programs' goals, but teachers also want students to think hard about their finances long term. It's easy for teenagers to get annoyed about gas prices because many of them drive cars. But the hard part is urging them to put off the instant satisfaction of buying a new T-shirt or an iPod. "Investing and retirement aren't things teenagers are thinking about. For them, the future is this weekend," says Gayle Whitefield, a business and marketing teacher at Uth’s Riverton High School.
That’s a big goal for these classes: preventing kids from making the same financial missteps their parents did when it comes to saving, spending, and debt. Though the personal savings rate has increased up to 4. 2 percent, that’s still a far distance from 1982, when Americans saved 11. 2 percent of their incomes. “It’s hard for schools to reach strict money-management skills when teenagers go home and watch their parents increase credit-card debt. It’s like telling your kids not to smoke and then lighting up a cigarette in front of them,” Beck says.
Even with these challenges, students such as Ray say learning about money in school is worthwhile. After Ray finished her financial class, she opened up a savings account at her local bank and started to think more about how she and her family would pay for college. “She just has a better understanding of money and how it affects the world,” says her mother, Darleen－and that’s sown to the details of how money is spent from daily expenses to various taxes. All of this talk of money can make Ray worry, she says, but luckily, she feels prepared to face it.
【小題1】The “stock market game” mentioned in Paragraph 1 is meant to       .

A．introduce a new course to students
B．help students learn about investment
C．teach how to apply for a credit card
D．encourage students’ personal savings
【小題2】How does the writer show us that schools’ interest in teaching financial classes has increased in paragraph 2_________?
A．By giving examples. B．By providing data.

A．better students’ learning methods
B．prevent students going into debt
C．help students get accepted by colleges
D．make students become very wealthy
【小題4】After completing the financial class, Diane Ray is likely to       .
A．pay off all her debts. B．handle her money better
C．find a job in a bank. D．manage the family income

For many students in the UK today, deciding whether or not to go to university can be as much about affordability as it is about ambition and aspiration.
In the past, students in the UK could apply to a university or college. They were sure that even if they came from a low income family, their tuition fees and some of their living (or maintenance) costs would be covered by a local authority grant(撥款). A university education was, in a financial sense, open to all and the number of students attending university grew yearly.
Sadly, it seems, those days are long gone. The turning point came in 1998, when the Labour Government introduced tuition fees of ￡1,000 a year and, instead of giving students a maintenance grant, asked them to cover their own living expenses with a repayable student loan. Only students on the lowest incomes were entitled to a grant.
The flood gates had been opened. As time passed, the ceiling on tuition fees rose, and although applicants from Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales still qualified for varying levels of subsidy(補(bǔ)貼), by 2009/10 students in England often found themselves facing tuition fees over￡3,000 a year.
In 2011 the Government announced that, from 2012, universities could charge fees of up to ￡9,000 a year. Although the Government sweetened the pill by stating that postgraduates did not have to begin repaying their student loans until they were earning more than ￡21,000 a year, the news created over-dissatisfaction. Many students argued that it was unfair that students should have to begin their work life loaded with huge debt, while others complained that the changes would bring back a class divide to university education. These views were reflected in the number of students applying for a university place, which by January 2012 fell by more than 22,000. The Universities Minister, David Willetts, stood by the decision to increase tuition fees, saying that they would not “put universities’ finance on a bearable footing” and that they would accelerate “a stronger focus on high quality teaching.”
【小題1】From the first paragraph, we can infer that _____ in attending university.

A．a(chǎn)ffordability plays more important roles than ambition and aspiration
B．a(chǎn)mbition and aspiration are more important than affordability
C．a(chǎn)ffordability is as important as ambition and aspiration
D．a(chǎn)mbition and aspiration make a greater difference
【小題2】We can put the sentence “But the biggest change was still to come” at the beginning of Paragraph _____.
A．2 B．3 C．4 D．5
【小題3】The underlined part “sweetened the pill” in the last paragraph possibly means_____.
A．made a sweet pill B．made the change appear good
C．increased the pill D．reduced the pill
【小題4】The writer _____ the change about university education fees.
A．is in favor of B．is opposed to
C．takes no notice of D．is neither for nor against

Scott Langteau has this message for kids：spend less time playing video games.
It’s a message that many a mom and dad have tried to impress upon many a youngster (and some not­so­youngsters) who spend perhaps a bit too much time with game controllers in hand.
But the 40­year­old Langteau isn’t a parent.He’s a veteran (老手) of the video game industry—one who played producer on three “Medal of Honor” games and cofounded his own game development company.
Langteau has just published a children’s books called Sofa Boy，which tells the story of a kid who spends too much time sitting on the couch with controller clutched in hand and the rather terrible consequences that follow.
It’s a fairy tale plucked straight from Langteau’s own experiences as a lad with a fondness for video games and his own bouts with a bit of game addiction.But first，Langteau would like to make one thing clear，“I’m not saying that you shouldn’t play video games.I think video games are great.I think they do great things for kids.”Instead，Langteau says his book is all about a little something called moderation (克制)．
“It’s about being well rounded，” he says.“Just like with anything else，we all need to make sure that there’s a variety in what we do.”
Video gamers can be rather bad­tempered when it comes to accepting criticism about their favorite entertainment.And understandably so.After all，most people who go around talking about the dangers of playing video games tend to be outsiders—people who don’t play video games and certainly don’t understand that they can be a valuable and healthy form of entertainment.
But Langteau and Sofa Boy seem to be in a  unique position to deliver a message of gaming moderation that the young game masses might actually listen to.After all，this is a man who understands what it means to be a kid with a passion for games.His early experience has taught him a lesson.
【小題1】Scott Langteau published Sofa Boy to________.

A．share his great skills on games
B．warn kids against game addiction

A．The book implies the writer’s own story.
B．The book describes a veteran of games.

【小題3】We can learn from the passage that________.
A．Langteau advises the young to play games within limits
B．Langteau advises the young not to play games
C．playing video games ruins the future of kids
D．playing video games doesn’t benefit kids

There are quite a few advantages of wearing school uniforms. The idea may seem disagreeable at first, but considering all the positive effects coming from wearing uniforms you would be more likely to enjoy them.
Teachers love school uniforms because it helps provide an orderly learning environment. Having students dressed in uniforms may teach them how to present themselves in a neat and professional manner. It gives students the opportunity to learn how to dress like young ladies and gentleman. And they can focus their attention on academics rather than style.
Purchasing (購(gòu)買) school uniforms is easy and needs less hesitation and consideration.

Some students may not like the lack of individuality(個(gè)性) with a uniform, but some school dress code policies may offer them the opportunities to show their unique styles.

It was once unheard-of to be a businessman in China. Nowadays, though, it’s quite common to become your own boss. Let’s say you have an idea. Maybe you want to open an English school or sell Japanese comics. First, you need a business plan. It sets out what you’ll sell and how much everything will cost. Most businesses that fail didn’t have this. If you need to borrow money at the start, banks will ask for a detailed plan.
The best starting place for a business plan is the 4Ps: product, place, price and promotion. All these must be strong to be successful.
□Product
Your product must have something unique. What makes it special compared to other similar products? If you want to start a noodle shop that has nothing new, don’t expect people to show much interest. You can research your product. For food, let people try it for free. For toys, let a few children play with them to see if they like them.
□Place
There’s no point having a product that people want to buy if your shop is in an empty mall. Think about which type of person is going to buy what you sell. Where do they usually go shopping? When looking at possible places, spend the day there. See how many people pass by. Also, are there other shops nearby selling similar products? If so, how can you be better than them?
□Price
Work out how much it costs to make or provide your product. As a general rule, your price will be double the cost. After all, you’re also paying for rent, staff and you need to eat too!
□Promotion
How can you attract people to your shop? Advertising in newspapers and on TV is expensive. Perhaps you can get free advertising by getting a newspaper to write about your business.
【小題1】What’s the best title for the passage?

A．How to start a business.
B．Starting a business soon.
C．Starting your own business.
D．Preparations for starting a business.
【小題2】According to the author, the reason why most businesses fail is due to lack of ________.
A．a(chǎn) business planB． a shopC． moneyD．successful businessmen
【小題3】If you want to start a noodle shop, you should ________.
A．expect people to show much interest
B．research your noodles
C．let people try it at a low price
D．let children have a try
【小題4】What does “If so” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．There are shops selling the goods like yours.
B．Many people pass by.
C．You should think about which type of person is going to buy what you sell.
D．You should spend the day on possible places.
