It is interesting to observe the way in which children so often react against their parents’ ideas, while at the same time 36 their parent’s characteristics. This is to say, the children grow up to have different 37 from their parents, yet to have 38 personalities. There is a 39 going on in the toy world at present over 40 children should be encouraged to have war toys. I do not see any 41 in forbidding them when I think of the 42 of my friend Henry.

Henry is the son of strict parents who were against war. He was never 43 toy soldiers or guns as a 44.

Henry 45 and went into the army, becoming a first-class soldier and 46 all sorts of honors in the army. In that way he became the 47 of what his parents might have 48 of their son. And yet there is a gentleness about Henry which shows a 49 personality. His sympathies(同情) which I can see must have come from his 50. 51 doing things differently from our parents, a lot of the 52 gets passed on.

Parents have to 53 their children what they believe to be right; but it is not much your ideas that the children 54 your example. Perhaps the best way to teach one’s child gentleness is not to forbid toy guns, but to be 55 in one’s own everyday life.

Stone tools and pieces of animal bone from about 16,600 years ago are the earliest evidence yet of human beings in the New World, scientists say.

The objects were found in the western United States. They were recovered from an archaeological site called Cooper Ferry on the Salmon River near the town of Cottonwood Idaho. Scientists used radiocarbon dating methods to find out how old these artifacts are.

The scientists say people lived in or passed through the area when ice covered large parts of North America. That period of time is known as Earth's Ice Age. During the period, big mammals like camels lived in North America. Loren D avis is an anthropology (人类学) professor at Oregon State University. He led the team of scientists working at Cooper's Ferry.

“The Cooper's Ferry site is the earliest radiocarbon-dated archaeological evidence in the Americas.” Davis said. The researchers said the artifacts suggest that people first lived in the area between 16,600 and 15,300 years ago and returned to live there many times after that.

Scientists say humans first appeared in Africa about 300,000 years ago and later spread throughout the world. There has been much scientific debate about when humans first entered the Americas. They are believed to have crossed into North America at a time when Siberia and Alaska were connected by land.

The new findings support the assumption that the first human migration into the Americas traveled down the pacific coast instead of an inland path. Davis said. “The Columbia river would provide the first Americans their first route to interior lands south of the continental ice sheet.”

The researchers noted details of some of the sharp objects that would have been used for hunting. These artifacts appear similar to those found in northern Japan from a somewhat earlier date. Davis said. “We assume that this may signal a cultural connection between early peoples who lived around the northern Pacific Rim.” “Traditional technological ideas spread from northeastern Asia into North America at the end of the last glacial period,” he added.

1.What do the “artifacts” in paragraph 4 refer to?

A.The migrants traveling into the North America.

B.The objects found in Cooper's Ferry on the Salmon River.

C.Stone tools and animal bones from about 300,000 years ago.

D.The camels living in north America during the earth's Ice Age.

2.It can be inferred from paragraphs 5-7 that ________.

A.migrants possibly traveled deep into North America through the Columbia

B.North America has long been considered the source of human civilization

C.there existed no cultural links between early peoples around the world

D.experts have agreed on when humans first entered the Americas

3.What is the best title for the text?

A.The Artifacts Recovered from an Archaeological Site in Africa

B.The Spreading of Ancient Technology between Early Settlers

C.The Benefits of Radiocarbon Dating Method

D.The First Human Migration into the Americas

Many managers believe that overworking is an evidence of devotion from their employees’ side. Still few others regard this custom as a threat to the worked work-life balance, which may negatively influence the level of productivity and efficiency.

Employees at Amsterdam design studio Heldergroen won’t be putting in much overtime. Not in the office, at any rate, because every day at 6:00 pm, their desks, tables and other work surfaces, with their computers attached, are lifted to the ceiling by steel cables (绳索) normally used to move heavy props (道具) in theatrical productions. If you leave a half-eaten sandwich on your desk, you’ve out of luck.

“Once the chairs and other workplace paraphernalia are cleared away, the space is free for evening and weekend use as a dance floor, yoga studio... or anything else you can think of—the floor is actually yours,” director Sander Veenendaal said.

In a way, the office space itself is working overtime for Heldergroen, bringing about lots of publicity and carrying an enlightened (有启发的) message of career-life balance far and wide. “We think that doing activities like this makes it easier for people to work here,” says Veenendaal. “You know when it is time to relax or do something else that inspires you.”

That sounds awesome. There’s just one catch. In the morning, the desks reappear and everybody has to go back to work.

1.What can we learn about the employees at Heldergroen?

A. They are unwilling to work late.

B. They are persuaded to leave the office earlier.

C. They believe overworking is an evidence of devotion.

D. They are to put away their computers after work.

2.What does the underlined word “paraphernalia” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Props.　　 B. Food.

C. Equipment.　　 D. Cables.

3.What does the author think of the Heldergroen’s office design?

A. Creative.　　 B. Inconvenient.

C. Ordinary.　　 D. Strange.

It’s both an exciting but frightening experience for parents the moment their teenager obtains a driver’s license. Here are some of the best and most recommended apps for teen drivers and for their parents’ peace of mind.

Safe Driver

This app works by monitoring the position and the driving speed of your child. You can also set a speed limit. Whenever your child drives over this speed limit, an alert(警报)will be sent to your phone. Its only drawback is that it’s only effective when your child opens the app on their phone while driving.

Drive Safely

If you’re scared of your teenagers’ tendencies to be on the phone while driving, this is a great app for them to use. Whenever a text message comes in, it’ll read the text message out loud. The driver needn’t take their hands off the wheel in order to check text messages on their phone. The user can even respond to the message via voice.

Textecution

This app locks a driver’s phone while he or she is driving, preventing the user from gaining access to any of the SMS functions of the phone. Parents can be alerted via the app’s website. For example, you’ll be sent an alert in the event that the driver has requested permission to access their phone’s messaging function. This function can only be activated if the driver is safely parked or in the event of an accident. If ever your child removes the application from their phone, parents can be informed, too.

Life 360

The initial purpose of this app is connecting family members together. Through the app, you can share your position with one another wherever you are. It provides real-time data for parents about position and driving speed. Parents can, therefore, feel safe and secure knowing that their child has reached their intended destination. The application can be turned off. But it’ll inform the members within the app that your child has disabled it.

1.What can the app Safe Driver do?

A.Control the user’s driving speed.

B.Keep working even when it’s turned off.

C.Help teenagers develop good driving habits.

D.Alert parents to their children’s overspeed driving.

2.Which app enables the user to receive and answer text messages easily while driving?

A.Safe Driver. B.Drive Safely. C.Textecution. D.Life 360.

3.What do Textecution and Life 360 have in common?

A.They are intended to bring family members closer.

B.Teenagers can’t delete them without parents’ permission.

C.Parents can know if they stop working on teenagers' phones.

D.They offer parents real-time data about position and driving speed.

It often happens that a number of applicants with almost identical qualifications and experience all apply for the same position. In their educational background, special skills and work experience, there is little, if anything, to choose between half a dozen candidates. How then does the employer make a choice? Usually on the basis of an interview.

There are many arguments about the interview as a selection procedure. One argument is that it gives rise to a wholly subjective decision. As often as not, employers do not choose the best candidate, but the one who makes a good first impression on them. Some employers, of course, reply to this argument by saying that they have become so experienced in interviewing staff that they are able to make a sound assessment of each candidate’s likely performance. Unfortunately, both for the employers and applicants, there are many people of great ability who simply do not interview well. There are also, of course, people who interview extremely well, but are later found to be very unsatisfactory employees.

Those in favour of the interview insist that the well-structured procedure is valid in assessing a candidate’s ability, an essential guarantee for the future job. They also argue that an employer is concerned not only with a candidate’s ability, but with the suitability of his or her personality for the particular work situation. Many employers, for example, will overlook occasional inefficiencies from their secretary so long as she has a pleasant personality. Perhaps the real purpose of an interview is not to assess the assessable aspects of each candidate but to make a guess at the more intangible things, such as personality and social ability.

Today, interview is still a common section of the entire selection procedure, though different employers have different standards for competence. Generally speaking, candidates who interview well tend to be quietly confident, but never boastful; direct and straight-forward in their questions and answers; cheerful and friendly, but never over-familiar; and sincerely enthusiastic and optimistic. Candidates who interview badly tend to be at either end of the spectrum of human behaviour. They are either very shy or over-confident. They show either a lack of enthusiasm or an excess of it. They either talk too little or never stop talking. They are either over-polite or rudely abrupt.

1.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.Employers are experienced in assessing the interviewees’ performance.

B.Interview is not always recognized as a sensible way to choose employees.

C.The interview helps the employers to pick the desired employees.

D.The remarkable candidates often distinguish themselves in an interview.

2.Which may not be considered in an interview?

A.Personality B.Communication skills

C.Background D.Capability

3.What is the author’s attitude towards the interview as a selection procedure?

A.Supportive B.Negative

C.Objective D.Unconcerned

4.The last paragraph indicates _________________.

A.a link between success in interview and character

B.connections between work abilities and character

C.differences in interview experience

D.differences in personal behaviour
