When I was a boy there were no smart phones, and our television only got one channel clearly. Still, I never felt bored. The fields, hills and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground whose adventures were only limited by my imagination. I can remember once hiking to nearby lake and walking slowly around it. At the back of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before. It was full of muddy tyre tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.

I walked on and on for what seemed like hours. I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ears “turn around and head back home”, but I was stubborn and walked on. There was still neither a car nor a house in sight. I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared. I didn’t want to end up being trapped on this road, and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again.

I continued to walk on with something growing inside of me. My heart was pounding and my legs were aching. I was almost in tears when I saw something in the distance. It was a house that I recognized. I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. It was still over a mile away, but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner. Then I ended my adventure with a good night’s sleep.

I often thought of that experience recently. Actually, in our life, all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again. They can lead us to our homes here on the earth. They can lead us to our homes in our hearts. May you always walk your path with love! May you always help your fellow travelers along the way! And may your roads always lead you home again!

When I was a boy there were no smart phones. Computers were something you saw on STAR TREK(星际航行)，and our television only got one channel clearly. Still, I was never bored. The fields, hills, and woodlands around my house were the nature ready-made playgrounds.

I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake and slowly walking around it. At the backside of it I was amazed to find an old, one-lane, dirt road that I had never seen before. I immediately set out to travel it. It was full of holes and muddy tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.

I walked on and on for what seemed like hours. I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear to turn around and head back home but I was stubborn and even a bit stupid, so I walked on.

The dirt road give way to a rock one and then a paved one, yet there was still neither a car nor a house in sight. My legs were getting tired.

There are some great differences between the traditional family and the modern family.

The first important difference is in the man’s role.The traditional husband was the head of the household because he was the only one who worked outside the home.If the wife worked for money,then the husband was not considered to be a good provider,In many families today,both husband and wife work for money.Therefore,they share the role of head of household.In addition,the traditional husband usually made big decisions about spending money.However,the modern husband shares these decisions with his working wife.Also,the traditional husband did not help his wife with housework or meal preparation.  Dinner was ready when he came home,In contrast,the modern husband helps his working wife at home.He may do some of the household chores,and it is not unusual for him to cook.

The second difference is in the woman’s role. In the traditional family,the woman may have worked for miney during her first years of marriage.However,when she gave birth,she would usually give up her job. Her primary role would be to take care of her family and home.In contrast,in many families today,the modern woman works outside the home even after she has children .She’s doing two jobs instead of one,so she is busier than the traditional mother was.The traditional wife learned to live within her husband’s income.But the modern wife does not have to because the family has two incomes.

The final difference is in the role of the children .In the traditional family,the children were taken care of by the mother because she didn’t work outside.However,today pre-school children may go to a child-care center or to a baby-sitter regularly because the mother works.The school-age children of a traditional family were more dependent.Their mother was there to help them get ready for school and to make their breakfast.In conrtast,modern children are more independent.They have to get up early and get ready for school themselves,and they may even have to make their own breakfast.

Twenty years ago, most experts believed that differences in how boys and girls behaved were mainly due to differences in how they were treated by their parents, teachers, and friends. It’s hard to cling to that belief today. Recent research has shown that there are biological differences between boys and girls. Understanding these differences is important in raising and educating children.

For example, girls are born with more sensitive hearing than boys, and the difference increases as kids grow up. So when a grown man speaks to a girl in what he thinks is a normal voice, she may hear it as yelling. Conversely (反过来), boys who appear to be inattentive in class may just be sitting too far away too hear the teacher.

Likewise, girls are better in their expression of feelings. Studies reveal that negative emotions are seated in an area of the brain called the amygdala. Girls develop all early connection between this area and the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层), enabling them to talk about their feelings. In boys these links develop later. So if you ask a troubled adolescent boy to tell you what his feelings are, he often cannot say much.

Dr. Sax, an advocate of single-sex education, points out that keeping boys and girls separate in the classroom has yielded striking educational, social, and interpersonal benefits. Therefore, parents and teachers should try to recognize, understand, and make use of the biological differences that make a girl a girl, and a boy a boy.

1.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Boys tend to pay less attention in class than girls.

B. Girls are better than boys in their ability to detect sounds.

C. Single-sex schools are not good because they keep boys and girls separate.

D. Boys and girls behave differently because of biological differences.

2.Why do girls express negative feelings better than boys?

A. Girls are more emotional than boys.

B. The links between certain parts of the brain develop earlier in girls than in boys.

C. The amygdala is located in different areas of the brain for boys and girls.

D. Girls have more brain cells than boys.

3.Which of the following does the author believe?

A. Boys and girls should be educated in different ways.

B. Girls need more training in communication.

C. Parents should pay more attention to boys.

D. Sex differences should be ignored in education。

4.What does the phase “cling to” in the first paragraph mean?

A. evaluate　　 B. abandon

C. maintain　　 D. challenge

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

There’s a big difference between working hard and being a workaholic. Working hard involves being organized, focused, getting a lot of work done, knowing when to stop, and having a life other than work. Workaholics, on the other hand, live entirely for work. They are often disorganized, always find reasons for working more, don’t know how or when to relax, and can’t communicate with family members.

Workaholics, like those who are constantly drunk, suffer from a controlling habit, partly because they are always full of enthusiasm for work, feeling lost without work to do. Besides, they sometimes develop their pattern of behaviour due to the environment they are in. Many companies encourage workaholism by rewarding loyal employees with higher pay and better benefits. Those unwilling to burn the midnight oil are at risk.

According to some psychologists, workaholism can be good for people to some extent. It can fuel a sense of self-worth and achievement. They get paid for it and praised for it, which produces good feelings they may not necessarily be able to obtain in other parts of their lives. Workaholism, though, is a problem that has been around for years. With competition rising these days, people ate under more stress. However, workaholics can’t stand not being active. They find it hard to go on vacation. They’re more comfortable being with fellow workers than with family and friends. Of course there is nothing wrong with their commitment, ambition and energy. But what is wrong is that these things often came in at a high price to their health and the happiness of their families.

To be a healthy person physically and psychologically, one should lead a balanced life. Those little things—reading mystery novels, playing volleyball, spending time with family and friends, playing with the dog, going fishing—means a healthy end. They can be at least as rewarding as work.
