When you were a little child, your parents made decisions about everything for you because you weren’t old enough to take care of yourself and make careful decisions. Finally, however, you grow up and become a teenager. You begin to have your own thoughts and opinions about life.

As you change and grow into this new person who makes your own decisions, your parents may have a difficult time adjusting (调整). They aren’t used to the new you — they only know you as a child.

In most families, this adjustment can cause lots of arguments between teens and parents. You want to cover your walls with posters, but your parents don’t understand why you don’t like your wallpaper any more. Then you feel your parents don’t respect you and don’t allow you to do what you like, and your parents get angry because they disagree with your decisions. And some other things — like the type of friends you have — can cause even bigger arguments, because your parents will always be ready to protect you and keep you safe, no matter how old you are.

However, the good news is that there will be fewer arguments as your parents realize that you have grown up and should have your own ideas. Before you get on well with each other again, communication between you and your parents is very important.

1.The writer describes______in the first paragraph.

A.the decisions you may make B.the changes you may make

C.the happy time you may have D.the friends you may have

2.Why do your parents need to adjust when you become independent?

A.Because they don’t often stay at home. B.Because they are busy at work.

C.Because they get angry easily. D.Because they’re not familiar with the new you.

3.From the passage, we can learn that______.

A.teenagers like to be with their parents

B.parents may have a happy time adjusting

C.parents don’t need to respect their children

D.the type of friends you have may cause bigger arguments

4.In order to get on well with your parents, you should often______.

A.communicate with them B.agree with their ideas

C.protect them D.do what you like

Who taught you to speak English? Your parents, while you were a young child? Your teachers at school ? Perhaps even the BBC as a grown-up. Whoever it was, somehow you have developed an understanding of what is rapidly becoming a truly global language.

There are now about 376 million people who speak English as their first language and about the same number who have learnt it besides their mother tongue. It is said there are one billion people learning English now and about 80% of the information on the Internet is in English.

Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? Should we celebrate the fact that more and more of us can communicate, using a common language, across countries and cultures? Or should we worry about the dangers of “mono-culturalism", a world in which we all speak the same language, eat the same food and listen to the same music?

Does it matter if an increasing number of people speak the same language? On the contrary (相反),I would have thought——although I have never accepted the argument that if only we all understood each other better, there would be fewer wars. Ask the people of India (where many of them speak at least some English) and Pakistan (the same situation with India)…

If we all speak English, will we then all start eating McDonald's burgers? Surely not. If English becomes more dominant (占主导地位的), it will kill other languages? I doubt it. When I travel in Africa or Asia, I am always surprised by how many people can speak not only their own language but also one or more other related languages, as well as English and perhaps some French or German as well.

When we discussed this on Talking Point a couple of years ago, we received a wonderfully poetic email from a listener in Ireland. "The English language is a beautiful language. Maybe it's like a rose," he said. "But who would ever want their garden just full of roses?"

Well, I love roses, and I think they make a beautiful addition to any garden. But the way I see it, just by planting a few roses, you don't necessarily need to pull out everything else. If more and more people want to plant English roses, that's fine by me.

1. By saying "Ask the people of India … and Pakistan" (in Paragraph 4), the author is trying to show that _____.

A. speaking the same language doesn't necessarily bring peace

B. wars can destroy the relationship between two countries

C. English doesn't kill other languages

D. English is widely used in the world

2.What does "rose" in the last two paragraphs stand for?

A. The world　　　 　　 B. Family

C. Language　　　　　　 D. The Earth

3.The author would probably agree that _____.

A. it's very hard to plant many kinds of flowers in a garden

B. it's good for people from other countries to learn English

C. more and more people like to plant roses in their gardens

D. English is easier to learn than other languages

4.This passage is mainly about _____.

A. why English has become a global language

B. how many people in the world speak English

C. how people in the world learn English as a foreign language

D. whether we need to worry about English being a world language

When your baby get older, you’re faced with the most challenging problem of all: How to get him or her best education you can.

“There was a time when you could enroll your child in kindergarten and about 13 years sit on one of those folding chairs and touch your eyes as they graduated from high school，” Peg Tyre says.

These days the difficult decision of where to send your kid to school starts early.You have to choose a school when your child might only be three or four years old.When you go on a school tour, Tyre says, don’t judge the place just by the finger paintings decorating the hallways.

“You want to look at the relationship between teacher and student，” she says.”What you want to see is teachers who have a lot of respect for kids, who seem to know their strengths and weaknesses.”

There’s a myth Tyre wants to say that has to end that all teachers are good teachers and can be moved around from classroom to classroom like bricks.

“That’s just not true，” she says.”One of the things I would say is a teacher who is in their first year is not a wonderful sign for an effective teacher for your child.They tend to be kind, they have a lot of energy, but they are not that effective in that first year.” So what do you do if your child is placed in a classroom with an inexperienced teacher? Don’t march straight to the principal’s office and demand a change, Tyre says.

“You can go to the principal and you can ask this question: What are you doing to support that teacher this year so that my child moves forward this year and is not just a guinea pig (实验对象) for your first­year teacher？”

Many parents know when they tour a school to ask about class size.But Tyre says the research doesn’t suggest that a smaller class size is a must.”When you look at the really research on class size, class size is very important from kindergarten to third grade ...After third grade there’s less of an effect on academic result.” she says.

1.We can infer from the second paragraph that in the past ________.

A.a child had to learn at the same school for 13 years

B.parents would cry at their children’s graduation from school

C.folding chairs were required for children to sit on

D.it was easy to get the best education for a child at school

2.To choose a school for your kid，you should ________.

A.judge whether teachers respect your kid

B.decide what strengths and weaknesses your kid has

C.see how finger paintings decorate the hallways

D.consider whether the teachers have their own kids

3.What statement may Tyre agree to?

A.A new teacher can be energetic and effective.

B.It is wonderful for a kid to have a first­year teacher.

C.A new teacher can teach students of different levels.

D.All teachers aren’t good teachers in fact.

4.What was Tyre’s attitude towards class size?

A.She was strongly against it. B.She felt it wasn’t worth consideration.

C.She thought it was most important. D.She insisted on taking it seriously.

When I was a puppy, I entertained you and made you laugh. You called me your child, and I became your best friend. Whenever I was “bad” , you’d shake your finger at me and ask “How could you?” My house-training took a little longer than expected, but we worked on that together. We went for long walks and runs in the park, car rides, and stopped for ice cream.

Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. She, now your wife, was not a “dog person”, but I was happy because you were happy. When the human babies came along, I shared your excitement and I wanted to mother them, too. Yet I spent most of my time being driven to another room. Fortunately, as they began to grow, I became their friend.

Then you had a better job in another city, and the new apartment didn’t allow pets. You made the right decision to send me to an animal shelter for your “family”. I was excited about the car ride until we arrived there. It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. At the gate, your son screamed in tears and you had to loosen his fingers from my collar.

Sometimes when I heard human footsteps, I thought it was you. It never was. Finally, the day came. As I felt the cool liquid coursing through my body, I lay down sleepily, looked into the staff’s kind eyes and murmured “How could you?”

Perhaps because she understood my dogspeak, she said “I’m so sorry.” And with my last bit of energy, I tried to tell her that my “How could you?” was not directed at her. It was you, My Beloved Master. I will think of you and wait for you forever.

1.What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?

A. A lovely puppy.

B. The patient puppy owner.

C. Precious memories of the puppy.

D. A big challenge of puppy training.

2.Why did the dog spend time being driven to another room?

A. It liked to do things alone.

B. It got no space in the room.

C. It didn’t like the babies at first.

D. It wasn’t popular with the family.

3.Why did the son scream in tears at the gate of the animal shelter?

A. He didn’t want to leave the dog behind.

B. The shelter wasn’t good enough.

C. He was afraid of the dogs.

D. His father went away.

4.What can be the best title for this passage?

A. How Could You?

B. My Beloved Master

C. The Death of a Dog

D. What is the Power of Loyalty?

When I was a little child, my parents divorced, making my mother a single parent. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.”

At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to do it badly enough. She sent that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school — walking on my own!

When the Great Depression (大萧条) happened, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support the family. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again.

My real change took place on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was angry that the second-class hotel charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for the common American family. I decided to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never charge extra for children.

Not surprisingly, mother was one of my strongest supporters. We experienced a lot of challenges. But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my mind, I strongly believed we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world — Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $ 1 billion a year.

You may not have started out life in the best situation. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.

1.When Kemmons was a little child, what his mother usually told him was _____.

A.funny. B.sad.

C.worrying. D.encouraging.

2.In the writer’s view, who made Kemmons walk back to school again?

A.Mother. B.Teachers.

C.Friends. D.Classmates.

3.According to the passage, what made Kemmons start a motel by himself?

A.His successful business. B.His terrible experience in the hotel.

It is reported that critical thinking, creativity, and their practical application(应用)are widely accepted as the top three skills that young people need to have when they take jobs in their future. Critical thinking is about becoming a better thinker in every aspect of your life: in your career, and as a consumer, citizen, friend, parent and lover. Critical thinking helps you make wiser decisions. It helps you avoid wasting time, money and so on. Therefore, do look before you leap.

Whenever a good critical thinker needs to do something, he would usually firstly check why he needs to do it and whether he really needs to do it. Then, he tries to find out what it really is and the best way to do it.

And then he makes sure whether he is able to do it and how to do it well. Finally, he makes the decisions and takes actions. Take the “Double 11” (a popular online shopping day in China) as an example. A few days before it, he checks carefully what he needs and whether he really needs them, and makes a shopping list. He goes to the online shops to compare the quality and the prices of things that he is going to buy. He compares the shops that sell these things. Then he checks whether he can afford them and in which shops he is going to buy them.

Then what would happen if he didn’t think critically before he made the decisions? After the crazy “Double 11”, there were usually a lot of complaints on the Internet. There were regrets about buying more things than they needed. There were complaints about the poor quality and the prices of the things they bought. There were also complaints because they received wrong things or simply received nothing. There were all kinds of regrets and complaints. Why so? They had not thought critically before they made the decisions.

1.What can we infer from the first paragraph?

A.Critical thinking gets very helpful.

B.Critical thinking has a long history.

C.Critical thinking becomes more popular.

D.Critical thinking makes a great difference.

2.According to the text, how to be a good critical thinker for us?

A.Making some careful comparison.

B.Collecting much more information.

C.Taking something into consideration.

D.Adapting to every surrounding easily.

3.The author uses the example of Double 11 to___________.

A.List the bad results of not thinking critically

B.Show how to make good use of critical thinking

C.Show the different advantages of shopping online

D.Tell the great importance of making a shopping list

4.What does the underlined word “complaints” in the third paragraph mean?

A.Saying something to show the feeling of being unsatisfied.

B.Preparing something to make sure of making wise decisions.

C.Offering the effective ways to avoid the feeling of regrets.

D.Giving detailed information to help make right judgments.
