    The 1920s was a decade of wealth, decadence(堕落) and social changes. They were known as the Roaring Twenties, and the best place to experience this exciting time was New York City. But what was it really like?

    Prohibition

    In 1919, a new law in the US known as Prohibition made it illegal to buy and sell alcohol. But Prohibition didn’t stop people drinking; it just drove the sale of strong alcoholic drink underground. Bootleggers(走私贩) waited off the coast of New York after dark and brought illegal alcohol into the city.

    Jazz

    Jazz was the music of New York in the 1920s. In fact, the decade is called Jazz Age. The best place to listen to this new form of music was the Cotton Club in Harlem. All the great jazz musicians played at the Cotton Club, including Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie and Duke Ellington. Also, in 1942 George Gershwin composed the jazz—influenced Rhapsody in Blue. The piece has been called “a musical portrait of New York” and was used by Woody Allen in his film Manhattan.

    Art Deco

    Art Deco was the most popular style of the 1920s, with bright colors and geometric designs; it can be seen in the art, architecture and inside designs of the period. New York is full of Art Deco buildings, but the most famous ones are the Chrysler Building (built between 1928 and 1930) and the Empire State Building (built between 1930 and 1931).

    The Great Depression

    On 29th October, 1929, the Roaring Twenties came to a dramatic end. On that day (known as “Black Tuesday”), the US stock market crashed, causing the Great Depression. The economic downturn lasted ten years and affected most of the Western world. Unemployment in America reached 25% and the country didn’t recover until after World War II.

    1.We know from the passage that in 1919 people ________ alcohol in the US.

    A. began to buy and sellB. stopped producing

    C. completely stopped tradingD. secretly bought and sold

    2.The 1920s is called _________.

    A. Country Music TimeB. Jazz Age

    C. Folk Music AgeD. Pop Age

    3.We infer from the passage that the US _________ in the year 1930.

    A. was in a bad economic state

    B. was in good economic condition

    C. developed at a rapid speed

    D. had many dramatic plays

    The BBC was founded in 1922, including radio and television services. It is based at Broadcasting House in London.

    The BBC is controlled by some governors chosen by the government, but these people have freedom and the government can’t interfere（干扰）. That is, the BBC is supposed not to be the mouthpiece（代言人） of the government.

    One of my happiest childhood memories were having dinner with my parents and two sisters. As a result, found that we seldom had a chance to get together, then we decided we would set aside three evenings the week for a sit-down dinner. First we tried setting three fixed days for our experiment—Mondays, Wednesdays or Fridays. After a couple of week of trying this plan, almost everyone was unhappy. For a while, the kids began to resist the idea. They said they would rather to spend the time with their friends or take part in some activities. Gradual, though, they began to see these evenings together for a very different way. We laughed a lot and we discussed about each other’s problems. Since a few months, we all felt that we had been able to build much strong relationships with the family than we had before.

    Parents who help their children with homework may actually be bringing down their school grades. Other forms of parental involvement, including volunteering at school and observing a child's class, also fail to help, according to the most recent study on the topic.

    The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting(养育子女) where schools expect them to act as partners in their children's education. Previous generations concentrated on getting children to school on time, fed, dressed and ready to learn.

    Kaith Robinson, the author of the study, said, "I really don't know if the public is ready for this but there are some ways parents can be involved in their kids' education that leads to declines in their academic performance. One of the things that were consistently negative was parents' help with homework." Robinson suggested that may be because parents themselves struggle to understand the task." They may either not remember the material their kids are studying now, or in some cases never learnt it themselves, but they're still offering advice."

    Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do was to punish their children for poor marks. In general, about 20% of parental involvement was positive, about 45% negative and the rest statistically insignificant.

    Common sense suggests it was a good thing for parents to get involved because "children with good academic success do have involved parents", admitted Robinson. But he argued that this did not prove parental involvement was the root cause of that success." A big surprise was that Asian-American parents whose kids are doing so well in school hardly involved. They took a more reasonable approach, conveying to their children how success at school could improve their lives."

    1.The underlined expression "parental involvement " in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.

    A. parents' expectation on children's health

    B. parents' participation in children's education

    C. parents' control over children's life

    D. parents' plan for children's future

    2.What is the major finding of Robinson's study?

    A. Modern parents raise children in a more scientific way.

    B. Punishing kids for bad marks is mentally damaging.

    C. Parental involvement is not so beneficial as expected.

    D. Parents are not able to help with children’s homework.

    3.The example of Asian-American parents implies that parents should ___________.

    A. help children realize the importance of schooling

    B. set a specific life goal for their children

    C. spend more time improving their own lives

    D. take a more active part in school management
