Children are the parents' pride and joy. And we love our parents. Whenever we have difficulties or troubles, they are the people we turn to. They offer us everything — life, love, courage and support. In return, we not only try our best to love and respect them, but also want them to take part in our lives.

However, that doesn't mean that we are going to share every moment with them. It is normal to have some things you don't want them to know or something that you think is better to be kept secret from them.

Here are some netizens' secrets hidden from their parents:

"My parents always told me not to fall in love in high school, otherwise I would fail in my studies. But now I'm dating a guy and I have no idea if I should tell them the truth."

"They are concerned about my studies and also afraid that I am being picked on in a puppy love. Yet I know they love me so much, but I don't want them to worry about me. So keeping this secret might be the best way."

"Last year, I was fired several times. The real world is not easy, and it took a long time for me to find another job that I really loved. During that time, I was penniless for months. However, whenever my parents asked me if everything was ok, I told a lie. I should have been strong enough to make them not worry about me, I endured a frustrating time."

"My parents spent thousands on my college education. They paid for where I wanted to live, to travel and even gave extra money for my leisure activities. However, I am not doing well in school and failed my classes last semester."

1.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A.If we love our parents, we should share everything with them.

B.The third netizen asked his or her parents for money when out of work.

C.The fourth netizen is still studying in a university.

D.The first netizen decided to tell her parents she was in love with someone.

2.Parents are afraid of their children falling love in high school mainly because______.

A.it may have bad impact on their studies

B.the school doesn't allow them to

C.they think they are too young

D.they are afraid of their children being hurt

3.How may the last netizen feel when he or she is not doing well in school?

A.Proud. B.Guilty.

C.Angry D.Delighted.

The founder of electric supercar maker Rimac has said it won’t make sense for people to own or drive their own cars in the coming decades.

According to Rimac, most people will no longer own or operate their own cars in the future.Instead, vehicles will be shared, self—driving and electric.These changes are already starting. “There will be people who still want to own their cars and drive their cars and I am happy for that because that is our business, ”Rimac said. “Long term, I think 20 years down the road, it will be totally changed and people will not own or drive their cars anymore.”Rimac’s most recent car.the C—Two, comes off the production line next year.

Rimac is well aware the industry is changing quickly due to the rise of self-driving vehicles and electric batteries, and says in the next 20 years driving as we know it may exist mainly as a hobby. “I really believe that humanity goes for things that make sense.”he told Newsweek. “If you look at 1.3 million people dying every year on the roads, if you look at the impact it has on economies based on traffic jams and time lost, it’s so much of a negative impact to society that I think such a huge benefit can be gained if people stop driving.”

“Let’s look into the future.You are standing in front of the choice of either investing a huge amount of your money in buying a hunk of metal and plastic for 30, 40, 50 thousand dollars, or you have the convenient option of paying as you go, the car picks you up in a few minutes, it’s a nice environment and you spend a few dollars per day on your transport.”

“When you take the driver out of the car, transport can be much cheaper and you can use the time to do other things, instead of sitting behind a steering(转向)wheel and not doing anything else.So I think the choice for the vast majority of people will be the obvious one.”

1.What can we learn from paragraph 2?

A.The majority of people will purchase cars.

B.Huge changes will take place in car industry.

C.Driving cars will enjoy more popularity.

D.The car business is gradually disappearing.

2.What is a major cause of the fast change in the car industry?

A.The rapid growth of self-driving cars.

B.The rise of shared vehicles.

C.The increasing demand of customers.

D.The advanced production line.

3.How does Rimac feel about the future of self-driving cars?

A.Uncertain. B.Confused. C.Optimistic. D.Frightened.

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Self-driving cars meet new challenges.

B.Self-driving cars avoid human errors.

C.Possessing or driving cars won’t be a must.

D.Conventional cars will be completely replaced.

People laugh and people cry. But it is thought that emotions such as anger, or joy, typically make Americans feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. The shedder of tears(落泪者) is likely to apologize, even when a great tragedy was the cause. The observer of tears is likely to do everything possible to put an end to the emotional tears. But judging from recent studies of crying behavior, both those responses to tears are often inappropriate and may even be counterproductive (适得其反).

Humans are the only animals clearly known to shed emotional tears. Since evolution has given rise to few purposeless physiological responses, it is logical to assume that crying has one or more functions that increase survival.

Although some observers have suggested that crying is a way to ask for assistance form others (as a crying baby might from its mother), the shedding of tears is hardly necessary to get help. Vo-cal (出声的) cries would have been quite enough, more likely than tears to gain attention. So, it appears that there must be something special about tears themselves.

Indeed, the new studies suggest that emotional tears may play a direct role in easing stress. 　 University of Minnesota researchers who are studying the chemical composition of tears have recently separated two important chemicals from emotional tears. Both chemicals are found only in tears that are shed in response to emotion. Tears shed because of exposure to cut onion would contain no such substance.

Other researchers are looking into the usefulness of tears as a means of diagnosing human ills and monitoring drugs. At Tulane University’s Teat Analysis Laboratory Dr. Peter Kastl and his colleagues report that they can use tears to detect drug abuse, to study the causes of "dry eye" syndrome(综合症) and the effects of eye surgery, and perhaps even to measure exposure to environmental pollutants.

1.What does the phrase "both those responses" in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A. Crying out of sorrow and shedding tears for happiness.

B. The embarrassment and unpleasant feelings of the observers.

C. Linking illness with crying and finding the chemical composition of tears.

D. The tear shedder’s apology and the observer’s effort to stop the crying.

2.It is known from the first paragraph that____.

A. shedding tears gives unpleasant feelings to Americans

B. crying may often result in tragedy

C. crying usually wins sympathy from other people

D. one who sheds tears in public will be blamed

3.What does the author say about crying?

A. It is a pointless physiological response to the environment.

B. It must have a role to play in man' s survival.

C. It is meant to get attention and assistance.

D. It usually produces the desired effect.

4.From the passage we can infer that____.

A. it is unnatural for people to shed tears

B. we can reduce our stress by shedding tears

C. shedders of tears can' t get help by crying loudly

D. unlike animals, humans can shed tears for survival
