Everyone would like to be a millionaire , a person with a lot of money, but can you imagine having over $30 million and only being 20 years old? Britney Spears from Kentwood, a small town in Louisiana, is only 20 years old. She is a world famous film star with not only $30 million but also a $2 million house in LA. At her young age, she can look after her family financially (經(jīng)濟(jì)上) all her life. This year is a big year for Britney. She is now on a 31-day tour of the US and every concert is a sell-out. That means she plays in front of a crowd of around 18,000 people every time. It’s a tiring schedule but brings her a lot. When touring, she goes to bed around 1 a.m. and then has a lie-in until 1 p.m. the next day. Her philosophy (人生觀) is to take care of the body and relax but always make sure you work hard and have fun.

Spears is not pleased with only touring and selling nearly 40 million records so she decided to step into the movie business and try a bit of acting. She made an appearance in “Austin Power 3” this year and she is filming a teenage light play that will come out in March 2003. In this movie, she has a starring role.

For Britney, acting is another way to express herself and she is enthusiastic (熱心的) about it all. If her movies are successful, her money in the bank is sure to grow by another few million dollars but she does it for the love, not the money, as she herself tells the reporters .

We can infer (推斷) from the text that most millionaires are __________.

   A. older than 20     B. around 20     C. in their 30s     D. in their 40s

The underlined word “you” in the first paragraph refers to __________.

   A. a person in general                  B. a special person

   C. Britney Spears                     D. a person interested in money

Which of the following is not true according to the text?

   A. Though young, Britney can support her family now.

   B. While touring, Britney sleeps about 12 hours a day.

   C. The teenage comedy movie was based on Britney’s own story.

   D. Britney will be even richer with her movies successful.

According to Britney Spears, she works __________.

   A. to be a great actress   B. for the enjoyment   C. for money    D. to be more famous

科目：高中英語 來源：2011-2012學(xué)年山東省冠縣武訓(xùn)高中高二下學(xué)期階段測試英語試卷（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解

閱讀下面的短文，請根據(jù)文后的要求答題（請注意問題后的詞數(shù)要求）
[1] Teens need independence, but how do you make sure they are safe? It’s tough to decide when to give your teen more freedom. One parent’s decision for his or her teen may not be right for other parents and their teens. Although every child is different, there are many experiences common to the teenage years. The most common may be the pull and push between dependence and independence.
[2] Many teens are putting themselves at risk for committing(從事) acts of violence and other crimes. No wonder so many parents are concerned, even frightened; no wonder so many try to control the behavior of their teenage children. So, it is important for parents to make rules for their young children.
[3] However, as children get older, they need to learn to make some of their own decisions and life choices. Teens need the chance to practice good decision-making skills, and to manage new life experiences. Parents need to try their best to support their children.
[4] Respect is a two-way street but it starts with you, which means that you should give your teens the respect that you would like to be given. Give them praise for their knowledge and abilities; pay attention to and listen to them. That means showing confidence in your teens, and being supportive. Parents should believe in your teens; set high standards for them, encourage them, expect them to achieve their goals, and provide consistent（一貫的；始終如一的）love and support —including practical help—so they can achieve the promise that lies within them.
[5] Teens are learning to take care of themselves as they prepare for adulthood. That’s what growing up is all about. Give them and appropriate（適當(dāng)?shù)模?/i> amount of freedom and independence. Encourage and promote responsibility and good decision—offering support and gentle help with difficult decisions. Let your teens know they will be given _________________ as they show increasingly responsible behavior.
【小題1】Who is this passage most probably written for? (no more than 5 words)
____________________________________________________________________________
【小題2】What’s the common experience of the teenagers? (no more than 10 words)
____________________________________________________________________________
【小題3】Why should parents attempt to make rules for their children?
