The other day at the supermarket, I saw a naughty child of about six crying loudly, falling to the floor and refusing to move. All the while the troubled mother was trying to persuade him to behave well but failed. A little smack (掴打) on his bottom would have done the job, I thought.
Teenagers also cause discipline problems. As a teacher I had a 16-year-old student who had fallen in love with a waiter at a fast-food restaurant. In fact, she had left home to stay with him. So we decided to put her in the school hostel. She refused. When she heard her mother begging her to stay in the hostel she turned round and said: “Why don’t you stay in the hostel if you like it so much?”
My palms were itching to slap her for being so rude but the poor mother continued to cajole her, hoping that gentle persuasion would work wonders. It did not. The last I heard, she had run away from home again.
The list goes on and on. Could it be that today’s parents are softer and believe that they must not rod (棍棒惩罚) their children for fear of the bad result? Or do they actually believe that the children will get rid of the bad habits and behave well naturally as they grow older? I beg to disagree. I believe it is the parents’ duty to discipline the children even at a young age.
My children who are now adults will prove the fact that I used the rod when I thought it necessary. Later when they went abroad, they related to their British university friends on how they were disciplined. Their friends abroad were filled with horror and told my daughter that I could be charged for child abuse (虐待). However, my daughter paid me the greatest compliment when she told them that she would not be where she was today if not for my strict discipline.
1. According to the passage, the author would probably _______.
A. beat the children every day B. punish the children when necessary
C. 1eave the children as they are D. treat the children in a softer way
2.The underlined word “to cajole” (in Paragraph 3) probably means _______.
A. to persuade B. to scold C. to forgive D. to punish
3.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The naughty boy’s mother hit him on the bottom at last.
B. The teenager’s mother lived together with her daughter in the school then.
C. The author was charged for child abuse by her daughter’s friends abroad.
D. The author’s daughter was very thankful for her parent’s strict discipline.

My sister saw a lovely cup when we are shopping the other day. She liked it at once. Then she bent down and picked up to look at a price on it. As she did this, lots of tea splashed on his T-shirt! I had to try hardly not to laugh at her shocked face! My sister wanted get out of the shop as fast as she could when a shop assistant came over to us. It was turned out to be her own cup, that she’d left on the shelf by mistake. The assistant was clearly as embarrassing as my sister, for I just thought it was funny!

Do you know what your child is going to do when the school bell rings at the end of the day? More than 14 million students leave school every afternoon and have nowhere to go, since they do not have access to(使用) affordable afterschool opportunities. According to the National Youth Violence Prevention Resource Center (NYVPRC), 90% of the Americans think all youths should have access to afterschool programs(课外活动项目), but twothirds of parents say they have trouble finding programs locally. The bad news is that the situation may be getting worse.
Afterschool hours are the peak time for juvenile crimes and risky behaviors, including alcohol(酒精) and drug(药物) use. NYVPRC states that children who do not spend any time in afterschool activities are 49 percent more likely to use drugs and 37 percent more likely to become a teen parent. Kids are also at the highest risk of becoming a victim of violence after school, particularly between the hours of 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. The highest amount of juvenile crime occurs between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m., when most children are dismissed from school(放学).
The NYVPRC defines afterschool programs as safe and structured activities that offer children opportunities to learn new skills. The skills students learn can range from technology and math to reading and art. Some programs also offer opportunities for internship (实习), community service, or mentoring. These programs have been shown to improve academic achievement, as well as relieve the stresses(减压) on working families. A report by the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S Department of Justice shows that students in afterschool programs have fewer behavioral problems and more selfconfidence, and can handle conflicts better than students who are not involved with these programs. In addition, according to the Harvard Family Research Project, afterschool programs help students from low income families overcome the inequities (不公平) they face in the school system.
1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?
A.Most parents don't believe in afterschool programs.
B.Students are not willing to attend afterschool programs.
C.It's difficult for parents to find afterschool programs for their kids.
D.Parents don't care about where their children go after school.
2.The underlined word “juvenile” in Paragraph 2 has a similar meaning to “________”.
A.student B.teenager C.adult D.campus
3.We learn from the second paragraph that________.
A.the teachers should watch over kids after school
B.children are dismissed from school too late
C.afterschool hours are a risky time for children
D.children should go home immediately school is over
4.The author of the passage probably________.
A.fully supports afterschool programs
B.doubts the effects of afterschool programs
C.believes structured activities are useless for children
D.thinks students today are too stressed
5.What is the theme of the passage?
A.Prevention of juvenile crimes.
B.Risks kids face after school.
C.A research report on the stresses of the students.
D.The benefits of afterschool programs.

Every small child knows the panic of losing sight of its mother in the supermarket, and as these delightful pictures show, small whales obviously feel the same way.
Taken by a British diver who was following the sperm whale(抹香鲸) calf, they show the minute the baby - who had lost track of its mum - found her again in the sea off the Azores.
Soaring 30ft across the waves, the newborn slammed(猛力推)its body onto the water with joy after becoming separated from its family group in the chilly(寒冷的)waters.
But the whale calf was doing more than just jumping for joy.
British biologist and dive guide Justin Hart, 44, who took the pictures, says that young whales communicate with older ones in the ocean by creating a slamming sound which travels through the water to the ears of the adults deep below.
By leaping out of the water and slamming its 12ft long body onto the surface of the sea up to 30 times, the baby whale is telling its relatives where it is so they can regroup.
He said: “We had been following the sperm whale calf for most of the day. Sperm whales, of all the whales and dolphins, are the species that dive the deepest and for the longest time.”
“The calves have to follow what’s going on below them from the surface as best they can probably listening to the echo location(回声定位)clicks of the adults.”
“However, sometimes the adults re-surface far out of sight of the calf, and in this situation the whales often leap out of the water causing a large bang as their bodies hit the surface. In this way, the whale family could regroup.”
He added: “When I took the photo, two adults’ females had just resurfaced and the calf quite literally began jumping for joy.”
Mr. Hart captured the rare image four miles from the port of Lajes do Pico while he was working as a crewman on an underwater documentary with special license to film sperm whales in the area.
Sperm whales live in nearly all the world’s oceans in groups of about 15 to 20 animals and they practice communal(集体的) childcare. The calves do not have to follow their mother too closely as sperm whales can take milk from any milk-producing female in its social group.
1.The underlined word “they” in paragraph 2 probably refers to _____.
A. the whales B. the divers
C. the photos D. the mothers
2.According to Justin Hart, the young sperm whale ____.
A. found its family with his help
B. suffered a lot in the cold waters
C. lost contact with its family for days
D. slammed as a means of communication
3.What do we know about sperm whales?
A. The young are independent.
B. They are highly social animals.
C. They tend to live in warm sea waters.
D. Females take turns to care for babies.
4.What would be the best title for the text?
A. Baby whales perform slamming with joy
B. Sperm whales ---fairly intelligent animals
C. Lost sperm whale baby reunited with its family
D. Slamming--- a way of communication among whales
