For as long as we can remember,one of the most popular ways parents use to punish their children has been the "time out".

It seems that it is a good idea:the child sits on his own to reflect(反思)on what he has done.Then,when the time is up,he will apologize and learn from the mistake.

However,just because it's something that's been done for years,that doesn't mean it is the right thing to do.In fact,very often,children don't sit nicely and think about what they've done.Instead,they need to be told a few (or many)times to go back to their places and stay quiet.They're not reflecting on why they are in the "time out" at all.More likely than not,they're probably just really angry,and 'so' are the parents.In the end,both the parents and the children make each other unhappy,or even angry.

What can parents do to change this situation?You may have already heard of things like peaceful parenting(育儿)and gentle parenting.These focus on the relationship between parent and child through building trust and love.So,instead of starting a "time out",try something called "time in".A "time in" needs both parent and child to stay close until both get calm.After that,the parent,and child can discuss what happened and solve the problem together.If the child can make changes,everyone can then move on.

As we all know,punishment and violence(暴力)seldom work and will never teach the.children what the right way to act is.A "time in" can be the great time for the children to learn through mistakes,Kids learn how to build their emotional and social skills through difficult situations.So,instead of punishing them for acting their age,we can use chances to teach and guide them to a place of learning.

A "time in" may take more time,but it does work.

(1)During a "time out",a child is told to    .

A.

stay outside

B.

make a promise

C.

sit alone and reflect

D.

return to school

(2)In the writer's opinion,a "time out"    .

A.

is becoming more popular

B.

doesn't always work

C.

should be parents' first choice

D.

takes too much time

(3)When a child has done something wrong,the writer suggests that    .

A.

both teachers and parents discuss how to solve the problem

B.

parents try something called "time in" instead of "time out"

C.

the child say sorry to his or her parents and learn from mistakes

D.

the child stay at home and reflect until he never makes mistakes

(4)Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?    

A.

Why not "time in"?

B.

Learn from mistakes.

C.

"Time out" or "time in"?

D.

No violence at home!

You may study differently from your friends,but your study habits are not wrong!

The natural world is colorful with humans,plants and animals showing different colors.

    Human skin can be many different colors and it changes.with the sun,our feelings or our health for example.This is because of pigments(色素),which reflect light and make what the eye sees as colors.So,when we feel excited or angry,our heart can send more blood to the face and the pigments in the skin become red.This is why we have the expression that someone. "sees red"when they are angry.

    Plants also have pigments.Color is important for them to live on.The bright colors of flowers catch the attention of insects(昆虫),which then carry their pollen(花粉)from one flower to another.Bees can see colors we cannot,and they follow these to the inside of the flower.Without bees visiting flowers in this way,many plants would die out.

    Animals also use color for their own need.They protect themselves with different colors so as not to be seen by predators.The snowshoe hare for example,a type of wild rabbit,changes color with seasons for this reason.During summer it is a brown color,and in winter it is white so that it can hide in the snow.However,some animals use color as a warning to make predators stay away.Bright colors such as yellow and red are often used in this way.Nature,however,is very clever,and predators also use colors to attract(吸引)the animals they feed on..

    So,we can see that there may be many different reasons and uses for colors in the natural world.Some uses of color in nature remain unknown;but one thing is for sure,color not only makes our planet beautiful but it is also necessary for our planet to live on.

(1)Paragraph 2 mainly tells us that     is/are the cause that makes human skin change color.

(3)The underlined word"predators""in Paragraph 4 refers to animals which    .

A.hide in secret places

B.kill other animals for food

C.change color with the sun

D.protect themselves from danger

(4)What is the main purpose of the passage?    

A.To describe animals' ways of life.

B.To encourage us to study color in nature.

    She said she wanted to stay longer but couldn't because she had to work.Besides,she needed to use the studio at her college for photography and she had to go to the library to read,"Why do you have to go to college to study art?"Masa asked her. "All the great artists didn't go to college. "

    Yuki shook her head. "That was a different time.It's hard to explain. "

    "I was thinking you could live with us all year round and still be an artist.This is a nice quiet place to live. "

Why is it that the people you meet when backpacking(背包旅行)seem to be more interesting and outgoing than your friends at home?That's my experience,anyway.Very often,you'll meet people that are fun to travel with and worth getting to know.I've spent time with people of many countries and have found out some interesting things about their cultures.It's a great way to learn more about the world.

    It's often easy to make new friends while you're traveling,and you'll be able to hang around with them for a few days,until one of you leaves for the next exciting place.Relationships of this kind are shorter but can be just as strong as friendships back home,because you do so much together in that short time.I often find I like to share things about myself that I'd never say to my close friends.It is safe,I think,because we probably won't meet again,except online.

    One thing that's important when you're backpacking is to make sure you carry only basic needs,so your backpack isn't too heavy.I travel" "light" these days.One good tip someone gave me is to take old clothes and just throw them away when you move on,instead of washing and waiting for things to dry.Many hostels(小旅社)don't provide shampoo and shower gel.You can get mini bottles in supermarkets.

    I've discovered that many backpackers visit little places other tourists don't go to,and by using local shops and guest houses,they help those places with much﹣needed financial(经济上的)support.Most small guest houses allow you to stay for unlimited time,so you can spend as long as you like exploring the local area.Backpackers are also kinder to the environment,because they use trains and buses rather than cars.So,what are you waiting for? (By Andy Robinson)

(1)According to Andy,friendships made with other backpackers   .

A.are less serious than those with his friends at home

B.end at the moment they separate from each other

C.help him to decide where he would like to travel to

D.allow him to talk about himself in an honest way

(2)Which text message would Andy send to a friend?"     

A

"Why don't you fly out to visit me?We'll stay in a famous hotel on the coast. "

B

"I'm leaving here tomorrow and then I will drive a car along the coast. "

C

"I've met some great people.Tomorrow we're going by boat to an ancient village in the mountains together. "

D

"I'm glad I filled up my backpack –I've got everything I need,though it isn't easy to carry it around!"

(3)The best title for the passage can be   .

A.Friendships on the Way

B.Traveling with a Backpack

C.A Backpacking Experience

The first emperor of China,Qin Shihuang,completed a huge number of projects during his rule.Between 221 and 210 B.C.,he started the building of the Great Wall.The emperor also ordered the building of a huge army of life﹣sized terracotta soldiers(士兵).These,he hoped,would protect his tomb after his death.

    Lost in Time

    The soldiers in Xi'an's terracotta museum are today light brown,but they weren't always.They began as an army of red,blue,yellow,green,white,and purple.Sadly,most of the colors did not last to the present day.After being exposed(暴露)to air during digging,the coating under the paint began to fall off.The paint disappeared in less time than it takes to boil an egg,taking away with it important pieces of history.

    New Technology

    Now new technology is starting to show the army's true colors.Archeologists(考古学家)have recently discovered an area with more than a hundred soldiers.Many of these still have their painted features,including black hair,pink faces,and black or brown eyes.Chinese and German researchers have developed a chemical liquid(液体)to help save the soldiers' colors.After finding a soldier or another art piece,archeologists put the liquid on it. They then cover it in plastic.

    Back to Life

    Archeologists are also finding colors in the dirt around the soldiers.It's important not to do anything with the dirt,so the colors won't be lost. "We are treating the dirt as an art piece, "says Rong Bo,the museum's leading archeologist.The next challenge,says Rong Bo,is to find a way to use the colors onto the army﹣again.Once that happens,artists can bring Emperor Qin's army back to its full,bright colors.

(1)What is the passage mainly about?    

A.The death of Emperor Qin Shihuang.

B.How the terracotta army was colored.

C.The true colors of the terracotta soldiers.

D.How the soldiers lived during Qin Dynasty.

(2)What does the underlined word "They" in the passage refer to?    

A.Archeologists.

B.Artists.

C.Researchers.

D.Soldier.

(3)Which statement would Rong Bo probably agree?    

A.The soldiers should stay in their present,brown color.

B.People should try to bring back the army's bright colors.

C.Archeologists can only guess at the soldiers' true colors.

D.Artists should be able to paint the soldiers in colors they want.
