Dear Expert:
I was asked to retrieve my 14-year-old daughter from a five-day camping trip.She was suffering from such severe separation anxiety,her teacher thought she should go home.She hadn’t eaten anything and had refused to participate in any activities.The thing is my daughter is extremely bright and has many friends;she organized a few friends into a band,and it belongs to several school clubs.She’s just always had an extreme fear of being away from home.I don’t want her to miss out on other trips.
Yours truly,
Jonathan
 
Dear Jonathan:
Sometimes kids can push through homesickness,but in other instances they become hurt mentally and develop greater anxiety around outings,which can worsen and prolong(延長) the problem.Separation anxiety can be the result of many complex interactions some genetic(遺傳的) and some learned. People with high anxiety tend to be fearful and worried, ever when the sense of threat is minimum（最低程度）.Lots of talented,creative and successful people are exceedingly anxious.
I believe your daughter is bright,active and popular,but simply can’t do well outside her home base.My suggestion is to take things in small steps,so your daughter can experience success,and always have a fallback(退卻) plan if she needs it.For instance,she can plan an overnight with a friend,but assure her it’s no big deal to pick her up at midnight if she changes her mind. What’s important is to recognize the fear,and make plans to deal with whatever may cause distress.In other words,don’t try to talk your daughter out of her fears,equip her to master them.This way she’ll eventually gain the confidence to go on further trips.

   If there is one thing I am sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.
The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives- the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因) engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do --- as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.
It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(傳送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I am pretty sure that it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read- sports and international news, etc.
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(煤體). They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn’t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it is never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.
小題1: What is the best title for the text?
A．The Best Way to Get NewsB．The Changes of Media
C．Make Your Own NewspaperD．The Future of Newspapers
小題2:In the writer’s opinion, in the future, ___________.
A．more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news
B．newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer.
C．newspapers will cover more scientific research
D．more and more people will watch TV.
小題3:What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?
A．Sports and international news.B．A menu of important news
C．The most important news.D．What you are interested in
小題4:From the text, we can infer that _____________.
A．newspapers will win the competition among the different media
B．newspapers will stay with us together with other media
C．television will take the place of newspapers.
D．some media will die out
小題5:The underlined phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means ___________.
A．depend onB．compete withC．fight withD．kill of

It is only during the last few years that man has generally realized that in the world of nature a balance exists between all forms of life. No living thing can exist by itself: it is a part of a system (體系) in which all forms of life are joined together. If we change one part of the natural order, this will in its turn almost certainly bring about changes in some other part.
The cutting down of forests reduces the supply of oxygen. The killing of weeds and insects by chemicals leads to the wide spread poisoning of animals and birds. The throwing of waste products into the ocean harm to life in the sea, while waste gases change the chemical balance of the atmosphere.
And so we could go on, adding more examples, until in despair (絕望) we might feel like giving up the struggle to control and keep within limits these harmful human activities. Man is very clever at changing the world around him to satisfy his immediate needs, but not so clever at looking far ahead, or at thinking about what the future results of his action might be.
小題1:The first paragraph mainly tells us that __________.
A．everything in nature can’t exist without the help of human beings
B．no living thing can exist naturally
C．a(chǎn)ll living things in nature depend on each other
D．man has well known the importance of the balance for a long time
小題2:The examples given in the second paragraph are used to prove that __________.
A．it is very important to protect forests
B．there are some living things which can exist all by themselves without change
C．a(chǎn)ll forms of life belong to a system in which all the part can be changed for one another
D．we cannot change one form of life or matter without disturbing (擾亂) the balance of nature
小題3:In the second paragraph the underlined word “atmosphere” means __________.
A．the production of chemical factoriesB．the gas in the outer space
C．the mixture of gases that surrounds the earthD．the health of the human body
小題4:The third paragraph suggests that __________.
A．man shouldn’t think only about his immediate needs without enough thought on the future results
B．man is very clever in planning his distant future
C．man often feels that he has to give up in despair
D．man is always anxious to control and keep his actives within limits

Every year in America, high-school students who want to go to college take a national examination called the Scholastic Aptitude Test, or SAT in a shortened way. Their score is an important factor in determining which colleges will admit them or whether any will be admitted at all. The Scholastic Aptitude Test measures one’s mathematical ability and use of the English language. Traditionally, the English portion（部分）involved grammatical questions and paragraphs that test reading comprehension.
But the SAT folks have added a single question, to be answered in an essay, hand-written on the spot. That’s an interesting way to test writing ability, put content aside, have you ever seen young people’s handwriting lately? Or anyone’s for that matter, in this age of computer keyboards? Students write numbers and sign their names on bank checks. They scribble class notes in what can generously be described as the written word. And they hand-write, or more often print, a word or two of identification on luggage and lunch bags. Otherwise penmanship (書法) — once taught so morally and easefully by second-grade teachers, has gone the way of the dodo bird which has died out.
Yet today’s kids are asked to write, thoughtfully and legibly (字跡清楚地), for several minutes on this SAT Test. Good luck to the text scorers who must work out difficultly the scrawl of young people who’ve been typing on computers since the age of three! Teachers insist that good handwriting can not only help one’s score on the SAT, but also, later on in life, impress potential employers and earn bigger tax refunds (退稅) because the tax inspectors can actually read the computations (計算結果). And don’t forget, we all have to turn to handwriting from time to time, as computers go down when power goes out.
小題1: The subjects to be tested in the SAT include ______.
A．math, English, reading and handwriting
B．math, grammar, reading and writing
C．math, foreign language and writing
D．math, English and handwriting
小題2:The author writes this passage to introduce the fact that ______.
A．writing seems to be very important in the SAT
B．those who will go to colleges have to take the SAT
C．students should practice handwriting more often
D．in the computer age kids know how to write legibly
小題3: What does the underlined word “scribble” probably mean?
A．Write quickly and roughly.B．Take notes difficultly.
C．Print penmanship carefully.D．Describe written word generously.
小題4:According to the passage good handwriting can ______.
A．help students get high scores in testsB．make a student more popular
C．measure students’ abilityD．a(chǎn)ssist one to get a job

On a hot summer day, a soft drink can really take away your thirst. At home, at school, in the park or at the movies—you can find one almost anywhere.
Carbonated(碳酸的)
You can see bubbles in these! Of all soft drinks sold, about 75 percent are carbonated. But be careful, carbonated soft drinks have lots of sugar and caffeine. Caffeine is not very good for you in the summer, because it takes water out of your body. And the sugar can make you overweight if you drink too much.
Fruit juice
There are different kinds of juice. One kind is made only from fresh fruit. This kind of fruit juice may not taste sweet enough for some people, but it is nutritious. Another kind of fruit juice tastes good but has lots of sugar in it. Many young people buy this kind because the advertisements are good. It is bad for your teeth and bones to drink lots of this.
Energy drinks
These kinds of drinks have caffeine and things that make people get excited in them. They are sometimes called “party drinks”. Doctors say that if you drink too much of this kind, you may have a heart attack.
Bottled water
We have lots of different kinds of bottled water, such as mineral water, purified water and distilled(蒸餾的) water. They are clean and easy to drink. But it is best not to drink very cold water. It may make your stomach feel bad.
Sports drinks
Most of these have funny names like “Scream” and “G-Vital”. They have lots of vitamins and minerals in them. After you play sports, you may want to drink one of these.
But if you just spend your summer holiday sitting around watching TV, you won’t need them at all!
小題1:Which of the following is NOT suitable for you to take if you go climbing?
A．Carbonated soft drinks.
B．Fruit juice.
C．Bottled water.
D．Sports drink.
小題2: If you have to stay up late, what kind of water may help you?
A．Fruit juice.
B．Energy drinks.
C．Bottled water.
D．Sports drink.
小題3: What’s the probable reason for you to drink sports drinks after sport?
A．They have funny names that sound very exciting.
B．They can recover the minerals lost in your sweat.
C．They can effectively get rid of your thirst.
D．They can take away your vitamins and minerals.
小題4:What’s the main purpose of the author writing this article?
A．To advise us to keep away from unhealthy soft drinks.
B．To teach us some useful ways of keeping healthy.
C．To make advertisements for the soft drink companies.
D．To tell us how to choose a suitable one from different drinks.
