A recent report found 46% of parents agreed that their child knew more about the Internet than they did. And now new research shows parents are turning to their children for lessons in technology.
The new study of around 1,000 parents showed that 67% of parents have asked their teenager children for technology-related advice. 44% have asked their teenager for help using the Internet, and 41% have received teen advice about how to use the TV or home entertainment system.
Ahad Surooprajally, a father of five children, says his children help him with technology in the home. “They’ve grown up surrounded by technology,” he explains. “We have four computers and four iPads in our house. If I want to know something technical they're the ones I go to.”
He says his nine-year-old son Habeeb is the only person in the house who really understands the TV. So he tells Habeeb which film he wants to watch and Habeeb connects his mobile phone to the TV. “You teach your kids everyday life lessons, but the tables are turned when it comes to technology,” says Ahad.
As well as learning how to use technology properly, there is another advantage of parents asking their children to help them understand the digital world. They may be able to get a better understanding of what their kids are doing online.
Will Gardner of the charity Childnet International says, “We have to continuously encourage parents to find out more about what their children are doing online. If the kids are using a social networking site, get them to show you around it if you are not using it already.”
1.What do we know about the new study?
A. Few parents trust their children to give them advice.
B. About half of the parents have no idea how to use a computer.
C. Most teenagers know more about the Internet than their parents.
D. Over two-thirds of parents turned to their teenagers on tech matters.
2.What does the underlined part “the tables are turned” probably mean?
A. The duty is carried out.
B. The situation is changed.
C. The pleasure will increase.
D. The difficulty becomes less.
3.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Internet: Open to our kids too early
B. Children: Parents' technology advisors
C. Parents: Confused by new technology
D. Technology: Challenge for everyone

American parents usually think that their child should not have more pocket money than the children with whom he regularly connects no matter they are wealthier or not than he.
Whatever the pocket money is, its entire use is not controlled by the parents, because a child learns to use money correctly only through dealing with it himself. If a seven-year-old child gets a quarter as a week pocket money and is made to put it all in his piggy bank to save it up, he gets no idea what the real use for the money is. He gets the shiny coins and they soon disappear. The idea of a bank account(在银行开户) is too early for so small a child, although he can be made understand and enjoy saving his coins-not all of them, only a part of what he receives-to buy something he especially wants. By the time he is eight, he is old enough to take part in the opening of his own savings account, parents may take him to the bank, open a saving account for him, and encourage him to put a certain quantity(数量) of money he receives as gifts into the bank and watch his bank saving grow as entry by entry(存入)is made. He will be saving, earning, and spending suitable quantities all along in order to learn how to manage money and to keep him in a favorable position with his friends. The boy is a sorry child who can't join his fellows in a sweet shop once in a while because he has to save every cent he gets or earns for some big unknown projects his parents have chosen for him.
1.What does the underlined word "piggy bank" refer to?
A. Something in the shape of a pig for saving coins.
B. A kind of bank run by the children.
C. A bank whose building looks like a pig.
D. A bank for children's saving.
2.Which of the following statement is NOT true?
A. Whatever the pocket money is, its entire use is not controlled by American parents.
B. If an eight-year-old child receive 10 dollars as his birthday gift, he probably have most of it saved in the bank.
C. American parents never interfere(干涉) with their children's use of their pocket money.
D. American parents don't usually give their children much pocket money.
3.Why does the author think the boy is a sorry one if he saves every cent he gets or earns?
A. Because he can not manage his money and it keeps him in an unfavorable position.
B. Because he can not learn the use of money through spending it himself.
C. Because he can not have any other choice but to save, earn or spend money.
D. Because he can not join the fellow in a sweet shop once in while.

There is no doubt that many parents want to mold (塑造)their child to be better, faster, smarter and more skilled. Even though human parents can’t do that, a robot that builds its own children can. Scientists at the University of Cambridge in England have created a mother robot that not only creates its own children, but tests out their performance.
The mother robot analyzes(分析)the performance of each of the “children” it creates, and passes down good characters to the next generation
For example, as the mother creates them and puts them to work, she measures how they’re behaving, and she uses data from this behavior to create the next generation of robots.
The mother robot can actually build hundreds of child robots and see the performance of these child robots. And if their performance is good, keep their design for the next generation. And if bad, just let it go.
“We program the robots based on some functions that define(规定)the reward the robots are going to get, depending on the construction that they make. They cannot change their own reward. For the child robot, the longer the distance the robot walks, the better the reward it receives,” said Fumiya Iida, the lead researcher.
After several generations, the “children” were running twice as fast.
“The mother robot produced 500 robots to see which one is good and which one is bad,” said Iida.
The researchers believe that the machines can be used in a car factory, for example, where robot cameras examine each ear in production line, find out any mistakes, and then design a better car.
1.What is special about the mother robot?
A. It can analyze data
B. It can create child robots
C. It’s smarter than human mothers
D. It can build and improve its own children.
2.How does the mother robot mold her own children to be better?
A. It teachers them how to behave better.
B. It reprograms the bad ones after analyzing their performance
C. It copies hundreds of child robots and then chooses the best ones.
D. It keeps the good characters for the next generation to create a better robot.
3.What is the key point in influencing the child robot to receive a reward?
A. Size B. Distance.
C. Behavior D. Speed.

Whether rich or poor, parents who have books in the home increase the level of education their children will attain, according to a 20-year study led by Mariah Evans.
For years, educators have thought the strongest predictor of attaining high levels of education was having parents who were highly educated. But, the study showed that the difference between being raised in a bookless home compared to being raised in a home with a 500-book library has as great an effect on the level of education a child will attain as the difference between having parents who are barely literate (有文化的) and having parents who have a university education.
Being a sociologist, Evans was particularly interested to find that children of lesser-educated parents benefit the most from having books in the home. What kinds of investments should we make to help these kids get ahead? The results of this study indicate that getting some books into their homes is an inexpensive way that we can help these children succeed. Evans said, "Even a little bit goes a long way. Having as few as 20 books in the home still has a significant impact on motivating a child to a higher level of education, and the more books you add, the greater benefit the children get.”
The researchers were struck by the strong effect having books in the home had on children's educational attainment even above and beyond such factors as education level of the parents, the father's occupation or the economic level of the country.
Having books in the home is twice as important as the father's education level, and more important than whether a child was brought up in a developing country or a developed country. Surprisingly, the difference in educational attainment for children born in developed country and children born in developing country was just 2 years, less than two-thirds of the effect that having 500 or more books in the home had on children.
1.In the past educators held a point of view that ______ .
A. children whose family had a library would possibly attain high levels of education
B. children who were born in poor families studied harder than those in rich families
C. parents’ level of education had nothing to do with their children’s levels of education
D. children whose parents are highly educated would attain high levels of education
2.What does the underlined word “motivating” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Making somebody determined to do something.
B. Helping somebody to finish something
C. Making somebody ready to do something.
D. Preventing somebody from achieving something.
3.Which of the following has the most important effect on the level of education a child will attain?
A. The economic level of the country.
B. The father’s occupation.
C. Education levels of parents.
D. Having books in the home.
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A. The best investment parents should make.
B. Ways to make children get a higher level of education.
C. Reading books is good for the development of children.
D. Books in home have a great effect on children’s education levels.
