   76  . Not caring about the money, parents in China often send their children to the best schools or even abroad like England, the US or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education.    77  .
Parents can see that their children’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others.    78  . Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time.    79  . A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence.
An old machine such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with may make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up.
   80  . And that is more important.

A．However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give their children is usually very cheap.

B．Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children.

C．It is an enjoyable but difficult experience.

D．Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.

E.   Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.
F.   These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, and to use his mind.
G.   What most parents fail to realize, though, is that today’s children lack self-respect and self-confidence.

Money Matters
Parents should help children understand money.   1    So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.
1. The basic function of money
Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It’s important to show your child how money is traded for the thing he wants to have. If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier (收银员).   2  When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex ways of using money.
2. Money lessons
Approach money lessons with openness and honesty.   3   If you must say no to a child’s request to spend money, explain, “You have enough toy trucks for now.” Or, if the request is for many different things, say, “You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.”
3.    4   
Begin at the grocery store. Pick out two similar brands of a product — a name-brand butter and a generic (无商标产品), for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money,    5   If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for other purchases.
A. Wise decisions
B. The value of money
C. Permit the child to choose between them.
D. Tell your child why he can—or cannot—have certain things.
E. Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you.
F. Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store.
G. The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest.

A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon. When you recognize your teen is under stress, how can parents help your teen stay calm before an exam?
Be involved. Parents need to be involved in their teen’s work.  1 _  What they look for is your presence — to talk, to cry, or simply to sit with them quietly. Communicate openly with your teen. Encourage your teen to express his worries and fears, but don’t let them focus on those fears.
Help them get organized.   2   Together, you and your teen can work out a time-table in which he can study for what he knows will be on the test.
Provide a calm setting. Help your teen set up a quiet place to study and protect his privacy. Give them a nutritious diet. It is important for your teen to eat a healthy, balanced diet during exam times to focus and do his best.   3   If this happens, encourage your teen to eat light meals or sandwiches. A healthy diet, rather than junk food, is best for reducing stress.
  4   Persuade your teenager to get some sleep and /or do something active when he needs a real break from studying. Making time for relaxation, fun, and exercise are all important in reducing stress. Help your teen balance his time so that he will feel comfortable taking time out from studying to spend time with friends or rest.
Show a positive attitude.   5   Your panic, anxiety and blame contribute to your teen’s pressure. Make your teen feel accepted and valued for his efforts. Most importantly, reassure your teen that things will be all right, no matter what the results are.

A．A parent’s attitude will dictate their teen’s emotions.

B．Exam stress can make some teens lose their appetite.

In many parts of the world, cars play an important role in daily life and many societies would not exist without them.   But this is the prediction made by a team of transport researchers who are taken seriously, not only by government but also by car manufacturers.
The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the UK is part of an international research program.   That will mean much saving, no accidents and better use of roads. The super-intelligent car in the future will drive itself.   Instead, we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing.
According to Dr. David Davis, who leads the research team, these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture, which had blocked up our cities, polluted our air, and caused more deaths than both world wars put together.
Davis says, cars will be fitted with some intelligent devices(装置) to regulate(调节) the distance between one car and another.   computers are much safer drivers than people, so cars in a road train will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people.
By 2010, Dr. David Davis believes, car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road, whatever the weather conditions, by projecting an image of the road ahead on to the car’s windscreen.   Cars will be connected by an electronic tow bar to the car in front to form “road-trains”. “The front vehicle in such a train burns the normal amount.”says Davis. “but all the others in the train would burn about ten percent of the normal amount,  and so produce about ten percent of the pollution.”

A．The team there believes that by 2030 all cars will be computerized.

B．They believe that cars will become more important in 20 years.

C．And it will not be owned by one individual.

D．And by 2030, cars will travel in line, linked to each other electronically.

E.So the idea that in 20 years’ time, no one will own cars may be hard to believe.
F.Every driver will use less fuel in the car he owns.
G.The car will automatically speed up, or slow down, to match the speed of the car in front.

  1   First, the radioactive material must travel from its place of production to the power station. Although the power stations themselves are strongly built’, the ．containers used for the transport of the materials are not． 2 Unfortunately, both’ of these may have an effect on the general public, since they are sure to pass near, or even through heavily populated areas．
Second, there is the problem of waste．  3  It is impossible to make these wastes non—radioactive, and so they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways ．that scientists have invented．For example? they may be buried under the ground, or dropped into deserted mines, or sunk in the sea．However, these methods do not ’solve the problem, since an earthquake could easily break the containers．
Third, there may occur the danger of a leak or an explosion at the power station．As with the other two dangers, this is not very likely to take place． 4  However, it can happen．
Separately, these three types of dangers are not a great cause for worry．  5 

A．It is unusual for radioactive materials to be transported across land．

B．There are three separate sources of danger in supplying energy by nuclear power．

C．All nuclear power stations produce wastes that in most cases will remain radioactive for thousands of years．

D．The general public are strongly against the nuclear program．

E．So it does not provide a serious objection to the nuclear program．
F．Normally, only two methods of transport are in use, namely road or rail．
G．But when they are taken together, the probability of disaster is extremely high．

How would you like to wear the same underwear (内衣裤) for weeks? Owing to the work that has gone into developing intelligent materials, this may not be as1as it sounds. Self-cleaning clothes have now been created, and these new materials provide2resistance to dirt as well as water. As a result, they require much less cleaning than traditional materials.

The creation of self-cleaning clothes provides an example of how nature helps scientists develop better products. This self-cleaning nature is known as the "lotus effect". The name comes, of course, from the lotus leaves, which are famous for growing in muddy lakes and rivers while remaining almost3clean. By observing nature, scientists are4the qualities of the lotus leaves to the materials they have engineered. Because of this, some remarkable new products have been5. Among them are special windows that are resistant to dirt and water. A special6on these windows not only prevents dirt from sticking to their surfaces, but also allows dust to be easily washed off by the rain. In fact, these new windows have already been7to some cars. Even when traveling at high speed through rain, these cars never have to use their windshield wipers (雨刮器).
Although we have already seen some practical applications, even more dramatic8will be made in the future, and they will, perhaps, change our world completely. Undoubtedly, technology is an important development, and it will have an even bigger9on our lives.

下面几个人分别就父亲对自己的影响表达了看法。阅读下面所给的五个选项（A、B、C、D、E），选出符合各自看法的最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余选项。

Kelly: Dad gave me a new life which is full of love and happiness.
Aidan: Dad is the person who introduced me to my sports career (生涯).
Bruce: Dad taught me to share housework and take family responsibility.

B．My dad taught me how to play basketball. Now I am a professional player at basketball. Although I sometimes didn’t play well, my dad always encouraged me not to lose heart. Now I have a dream of being able to play basketball on the Celtics. I love my dad!

C．The most important thing that my dad ever taught me was “Never do anything halfway”. He always told me to do my best to show my ability and character. “It shows what kind of person you are,” my dad would say. “People will remember and respect you for that.”

D．My dad has taught me love, hope, respect and the value of hard work. He has taught me never to be afraid; he has taught me the value of a job well done; he has taught me how to ride a bike, then to drive a car.

Make sure the respondent has enough information
Remember your survey’s purpose
Keep your questions simple
Include only one topic per question
If in doubt, throw it out
Avoid leading questions
Write more effective survey questions
Naturally, no question is “good” in all situations, but there are some general rules to follow. Using these rules and examples will help you write useful questions.
_______________
All other rules and guidelines are based on this one. There was a reason you decided to spend your time and money to do your survey, and you should ensure that every question you ask supports that reason. If you start to get lost while writing your questions, refer back to this rule.
_______________
This is another way of stating the first rule, but it is important enough to repeat. A question should never be included in a survey because you can’t think of a good reason to discard it. If you cannot come up with a concrete benefit that will result from the question, don’t use it.
________________
Compound sentences force respondents to keep a lot of information in their heads, and are likely to produce unpredictable results. Example: “Imagine a situation where the production supervisor is away from the line, a series of defective parts is being manufactured, and you just heard that a new client requires ten thousand of these parts in order to make their production schedule. How empowered do you feel by your organization to stop the line and make the repairs to the manufacturing equipment?” This question is too complex for a clear, usable answer. Try breaking it down into components parts.
_______________
How would you interpret the responses to “Please rate your satisfaction with the amount and kind of care you received while in the hospital.” or, a question asking about speed and accuracy? If you want to be able to come up with specific recommended actions, you need specific questions.
________________
Asking respondents “How effective has this company’s new distribution program been?” may not be as effective as “Recently, we used a new distribution system. Did you know this?” Followed by “Have you seen any positive benefits resulting from this change?” It can be beneficial to break down questions that require background information into two parts: a screening item describing the situation which asks if the respondent knows about it, and a follow-up question addressing attitudes the respondent has about the topic.

Dear Daddy, you stepped into my life years ago, and became my dad, a man who raised three fatherless kids and adopted(领养) another. It didn’t matter to you or us whether we were your biological kids or not—you are our dad! You did everything humanly possible for us, and you managed to have taken care of Mom, who has been sick, and the grandkids as well. Lessons we learned are love and compassion and kindness…We love you dearly.	My dad taught me how to play basketball. He taught me how to pivot, throw three pointers, and do lay-ups and dunks. Now I am a pro (职业球员) at basketball. When I played basketball in December, I was a good guard. Although I sometimes didn’t play very well and my team lost the game, my dad always encouraged me never to lose heart. Now I have a dream that when I grow up I can play basketball on the Celtics. I love my dad!
C	D
The most important thing that my dad ever taught me was “Stick to it. Never do anything halfway”. He always told me that by doing your very best, you prove your ability, commitment and character. This advice was what I always kept in mind, whether I was removing the snow from the driveway, helping do the volunteer work in the nursing house or completing my last course in graduate school. “It shows what kind of person you are,” my dad would say. “People will remember and respect you for that.” I do remember and respect my dad’s advice, which will guide me to do anything.	My dad has taught me many things. He has taught me love, hope, respect, discipline and the value of hard work.

His words always remind me what I should do for the family. I am proud to be his son. I love you, Dad.	My dad and I have a funny company we call “Priority”. It changes depending on the household chores we’re doing. He has taught me how to take care of the pool (Priority Pools), how to program garage doors (Priority Garages), how to plan family birthday parties (Priority Parties), how to install dishwashers (Priority Dishwashers) and how to clean the computer (Priority Computers). The list goes on. I’m proud of my dad, and grateful for my time with him. We have so much fun doing projects together.

下面文章中有5个段落需要添加首句（第1～5 题）。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E 和 F）中选出适合各段落的首句，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A. Get to know yourself.
B. Take care of your body.
C. Practice basic respect towards yourself.
D. Be honest with yourself and with others.
E. Think about what it means to respect someone.
F. Recognize when people disrespect you and take steps to stop it.
How to Respect Yourself
A lack of self-respect can prevent you from fulfilling your potential and developing healthy relationships. Here are some steps to help you know how to respect yourself.
__________ The qualities that we respect vary from person to person, and the way we express it varies from culture to culture. Generally, we respect people who have more experience and are more accomplished than ourselves. But there is also a basic level of respect that most people will agree is a right, and does not need to be earned. So think about what it means to respect others. Here are some widely agreed-upon signals of respect: You don’t steal from, harm, or insult them; you are honest with them; you listen to what they say, consider their opinions, and avoid interrupting them.
__________ We often do things for ourselves that we would never dream of doing for someone we care about. Whatever you believe to be respectful, apply it to yourself. Don’t harm yourself. Don’t insult yourself. Don’t steal from yourself. Be honest with yourself. Develop your own opinions and don’t be afraid to stand by them.
__________ A person with self-respect doesn’t allow others to treat them badly, and would rather not be around someone who is disrespectful. This might seem obvious, but there are many times when we accept being treated badly. When someone doesn’t give you basic respect, you need to be able to say, in one way or another, “You just disrespected me and that’s not acceptable! If you don’t respect me, I won’t spend time with you any more.” Can you say that, and mean it?
Can you turn your back on someone who’s clearly shown that they don’t respect you? Once you do, you’ll feel your sense of self-respect go up.
__________ When you make an effort to keep your body in good working order, you’ll not only feel better physically, but also  feel a sense of pride. Respecting your body also means not insulting it for what it is, naturally. Make an effort to get fit and stay healthy. Focus on the things you can change and improve, and do them because it feels good.
__________ The more you know about yourself, the more you’ll see and appreciate how unique you really are. And you’ll respect yourself more. Discover your principles, personality, and talents. Stop waiting for other people’s approval and start developing your own standards.
Develop a unique and original way of expressing your opinions while at the same time being a good listener.
