The relationship between parents and children has always been a hot topic. Many students may feel 1. (stress) because of their parents. Most parents have good intentions, 2. some of them aren’t very helpful with the problems their sons and daughters have in 3. (adjust) to college, and a few of them seem to go out of their way to add to their children’s 4. (difficulty).
For one thing, parents are often not aware of the kinds of problems their children face. They don’t realize that the 5. (compete) is stronger, that the required standards of work are 6. (high), and that their children may not be prepared for 7. change. They may be upset by their children’s poor grades. At their kindest, they may 8. (gentle) ask why John or Mary isn’t doing better, whether he or she is trying as hard as he or she could, and so on. At their worst, they may threaten 9. (take) their children out of college or cut off living expenses.
Sometimes parents think it right and natural that they determine 10. their children should do with their lives. They forget that everyone is different and that each person must develop in his or her own way.

A new international study shows that some people's biological clock plays a powerful role for their life expectancy, regardless of lifestyle choices.
Published in the latest issue of Aging on Wednesday, the study has found the most definitive evidence to explain why some people keep healthy lifestyle but die younger than others.
Geneticist Steve Horvath from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), led a team of 65 scientists around the world to record age-related changes to human DNA, analyse blood samples collected from 13, 000 people and estimate their lifespan.
A higher biological age, regardless of actual age, consistently predicts an earlier death, the study says.
"You get people who are vegan, sleep 10 hours a day, have a low-stress job, and still end up dying young," Horvath said in a statement. "We have shown some people have a faster innate aging rate."
The findings discovered that 5 percent of the population ages at a faster biological rate, which translated to a roughly 50 percent higher than average risk of death at any age.
"The great hope is that we find anti-aging interventions that would slow your innate aging rate," Horvath said, adding that "this is an important milestone to realizing this dream."
1.Some people keep healthy lifestyle but die younger than others because ________.
A. their biological clock is not powerful enough
B. the most definitive evidence has been found
C. they have a higher actual age than others
D. they ages at a relatively faster biological rate
2.How was the study conducted?
A. By collecting and analyzing data.
B. By interviewing lots of people.
C. By researching previous studies.
D. By studying different lifestyles.
3.According to the study, it can be inferred that ________.
A. people who keep healthy lifestyle tend to live longer
B. people’s lifespan can be predicted by their age
C. 5 percent of people are believed to have a faster innate aging rate
D. anti-aging interventions have proved to slow the innate aging rate
4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. We all should keep healthy lifestyle
B. Geneticist finds anti-aging interventions
C. Biological clock predicts life expectancy
D. Horvath builds an important milestone

The stories we share with one another are important. They show wisdom and provide inspiration. They are important to our development. But sometimes people choose not to tell.
Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola.
There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told. Bobette Buster said it was like this, “The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can become like a dangerous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle. When they are finally uncorked, their power to destroy is set free.”
There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share; and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else.
Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.
Honesty and openness is important. It proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better. It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development. Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely. But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes.
Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not. There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.
1.What’s the function of the example in Paragraph 2?
A. It reflects that people are concerned about the spread of Ebola.
B. It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story.
C. It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble.
D. It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.
2.One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that ________.
A. story-sharing highlights the importance of hard work
B. people are used to exposing their weaknesses
C. people sometimes have no courage to share their stories
D. some stories make people feel sad
3.Which is close in meaning to the underlined word “uncorked” in Paragraph 3?
A. freedB. brokenC. unfoldedD. untouched
4.The writer aims to convince us to ________.
A. be open to people close to you by sharing some secrets
B. share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselves
C. remove the dangers that can be caused by untold stories
D. realize the importance of being honest when making friends

Have you ever thought of quitting your job when you feel exhausted? Maybe most of you would say “yes”. After a particularly busy period at work, I decided to get away from it all by going on a hike in the mountains in southern France.
Before I left, I read an interesting story in a magazine. It read, “Once, while I was riding on a crowded bus, the man sitting next to me threw his cell phone out of the window when his phone rang. I was surprised. He looked at me, shrugged (耸耸肩) and looked away. I had no idea whether it was his or stolen or whether he even knew what a cell phone was or not, but he clearly wanted to be free of it, because it clearly troubled him.”
Billions of people across the world use cell phones. Though cell phones are a wonderful way for communication, they often do the exact opposite. Using cell phones can increase stress within families and friends.
So when I recently returned home, I got rid of my cell phone. Now I go outside without taking my phone with me. I’ve noticed things in my neighborhood I never noticed before, such as gardens. I’ve met new people, started conversations with neighbors I didn’t speak to before and talked with some of my friends face to face instead of chatting over the phone.
Instead of keeping me off from the world, stopping using my cell phone has helped me get even closer to my family and friends.
1.According to the story, the man on the bus threw away his cell phone because ________.
A. it didn’t work properly
B. it was stolen from someone else

2.We can learn from the passage that cell phones ________.
A. are too expensive for many people
B. are of no use to the author
C. can also get people into trouble
D. can make life more interesting
3.What can we learn about the author?
A. He wants to own a garden now.
B. He always chatted with his neighbors.
C. He used to take his cell phone when going outside.
D. He once threw away his cell phone.
4.The main purpose of the passage is to ________.

For every cup of coffee you made, about two spoons of grounds end up in the waste. That doesn’t seem like a lot, but just think about the millions of coffees consumed around the world every single day, and you’ll see the problem. Sure, some of those coffee grounds are recycled as fertilizer to enrich the soil or beauty products like face masks, but most will be buried into the ground. It was while considering this issue that German product designer Julian Lechner came up with a new way of recycling coffee grounds — turning them into tableware.
“We were always drinking coffee at university,” Lechner remembers. “And that’s how I started to wonder. What happens to all that coffee? It was all just getting thrown away.” He began consulting with his professors about ways of using coffee grounds to create a solid material.
“We tried combining with a lot of different things,” Lechner said, “We even tried sugar. That was close, but basically it was a candy cup. It just kept melting after being used three times.” The whole point was to make it last long, so Lechner and his partners went back to the institute to continue their research. Finally, after many failed experiments, they came up with a mix of coffee grounds and a biopolymer(生物高聚物) that seemed to behave the way Lechner had expected it.
“The moment of knowing the cup would actually stand was super-exciting,” he recalls. “It was wonderful to drink that first coffee out of the cup. It proved to be totally worth the wait.” And his creation has proven commercially successful, which is just the icing on the cake. The coffee cups are now present in ten shops across Europe, and the company can hardly keep up with demand, regularly selling out of its stock online.
Lechner will soon launch a larger line of coffee grounds cups and also work on a travel mug. But those are just short-term plans, as Lechner hopes to one day use recycled coffee grounds to create all sort of useful stuff—like sheets and furniture in cafés and restaurants.
1.What do people do with coffee grounds before Lechner?
A. Make products beautiful.
B. Improve the soil.
C. Produce drinking cups.
D. Create solid materials.
2.What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A. Candy cups can last longer than coffee cups.
B. Coffee grounds are rich in biopolymer.
C. Biopolymer can get coffee cups used repeatedly.
D. Lechner invented coffee cups alone.
3.What does the underlined phrase refer to in Paragraph 4?
A. Profits from coffee cup business.
B. Creation of coffee cups.
C. Decreasing demands for coffee grounds.
D. Consumption of delicious iced coffee.
4.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. A new way of recycling coffee cups.
B. Commercial success from consuming coffee.
C. Recycling coffee grounds into stuff like coffee cups.
D. Different product designers of recycling coffee grounds.

New genetic analysis has revealed that many Amazon tree species are likely to survive human-made climate warming in the coming century, contrary to previous findings that temperature increases would cause them to die out. A study, ________ in the latest edition of Ecology and Evolution, reveals the ________ age of some Amazonian tree species — more than 8 million years — and ________ shows that they have survived previous periods as warm as many of the global warming imagined periods ________ for the year 2100.
The authors write that, having survived warm periods in the past, the trees will ________ survive future warming, provided there are no other major environmental changes. ________ extreme droughts and forest fires will impact Amazonia as temperatures ________, the trees will stand the direct impact of higher temperatures. The authors ________ that as well as reducing greenhouse gas emissions to minimize the risk of drought and fire, conservation policy should remain ________ on preventing deforestation（采伐森林）for agriculture and mining.
The study disagrees with other recent researches which predicted tree species’ extinctions ________ relatively small increases in global average air temperatures.
Study co-author Dr Simon Lewis (UCL Geography) said the ________ were good news for Amazon tree species, but warned that drought and over-exploitation of the forest remained major ________ to the Amazon’s future.
Dr Lewis said: “The past cannot be compared directly with the future. While tree species seem likely to ________ higher air temperatures than today, the Amazon forest is being transformed for agriculture and ________, and what remains is being degraded（使恶化）by logging（伐木）, and increasingly split up by fields and roads.
“Species will not move as freely in today’s Amazon as they did in previous warm periods, when there was no human ________. Similarly, today’s climate change is extremely fast, making comparisons with slower changes in the past ________.”
“With a clearer ________ of the relative risks to the Amazon forest, we ________ that direct human impacts — such as forest clearances for agriculture or mining — should remain a key point of conservation policy. We also need more aggressive ________ to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to make minimum the risk of drought and fire impacts and ________ the future of most Amazon tree species.”
