Last August, I traveled with a group of volunteers to Tres de Mayo, a small community near Tela, Honduras to help renovate (整修) a community centre. During my stay there, I learned many things and I also had plenty of opportunity to interact (互动) and work with local children, and I often could not help but think about the hardships they faced day to day, all factors considered to place children at-risk for problems later in life.
One young boy in particular, Javier, 16, stood out for me. Javier’s father had left a year earlier for the U. S., and the family had not heard from him since. This put his mother in a difficult position, stay in Tres de Mayo with no job and no source of income. In the end she decided to move to another province to find work. Javier with his little brother had to stay to live with their grandfather in a small house. Many of the children we met in Tres de Mayo were in similar situations.
As our last day approached, I remember the look in Javier’s eyes, as they welled up(涌出) with tears when we told him we were leaving. One of the volunteers held him close, but it did little to console him. He had already experienced so much loss, his father abandoning him, his mother leaving to find work, and it was hard to realize that our departure(离开) was adding to the list.
As I looked beyond Javier, I could see the many men and women whom Javier looked up to, depended on, and gathered strength from. I did know that without parents to raise him, he was not left alone. Instead, the adults in the community took responsibility for the care of their collective young.
1.Which of the following statement is TRUE?
A. Javier established good relationship with the author and his team.
B. Javier faced a number of challenges that put him at some risks.
C. Javier shared the same sufferings with other kids in Tres de Mayo.
D. Javier had to learn to be independent even since he was a little boy.
2.We can replace the underlined word “console ” in the third paragraph with ________.
A. affect
B. inspire
C. comfort
D. protect
3.According to the author, what plays an important part in the growth of Javier?
A. The united effort from the whole global village.
B. The good quality from the foreign volunteers.
C. The great care from the adults in his community.
D. The positive support from some of his family.

Bringing up children is hard work, and you are often to blame for any bad behavior of your children. If so, Judith Rich Harris has good news for you. Parents, she argues, have no important long -term effects on the development of the personality of their children. Far more important are their playground friends and neighborhood. Ms. Harris takes to hitting the assumption, which has dominated(支配) developmental psychology for almost half a century.
Ms. Harris's attack on the developmental psychologists’ "nurture" argument looks likely to reinforce(加强） doubts that the profession was already having. If parents matter, why is it that two adopted children, brought up in the same home, are no more similar in personality than two adopted children brought up in separate homes? Or that a pair of identical twins, brought up in the same home, are no more alike than a pair of identical twins brought up in different homes?
Difficult as it is to track the clear effects of parental upbringing, it may be harder to measure the exact influence of the peer(同龄人) group in childhood and adolescence. Ms. Harris points to how children from immigrant homes soon learn not to speak at school in the way their parents speak. But acquiring a language is surely a skill, rather than a characteristic of the sort developmental psychologists hunt for. Certainly it is different from growing up tensely or relaxed, or from learning to be honest or hard -working or generous. Easy though it may be to prove that parents have little impact on those qualities, it will be hard to prove that peers have vastly more.
Moreover, mum and dad surely cannot be ignored completely. Young adults may, as Ms. Harris argues, be keen to appear like their peers. But even in those early years, parents have the power to open doors: they may choose the peers with whom their young associate, and pick that influential neighborhood. Moreover, most people suspect that they come to resemble their parents more in middle age. So the balance of influences is probably complicated. Even if it turns out that the genes they pass on and the friends their children play with matter as much as affection, discipline and good example, parents are not completely off the hook
1.According to Ms. Harris,______.
A．parents are to blame for any bad behavior of their children
B．children's personality is largely shaped by their friends and neighbors
C．nature rather than nurture has a significant effect on children' s personality development
D．parents will affect greatly the children's life in the long run
2.The developmental psychologists think .
A. children are more influenced by their peers
B. identical twins raised in the same home are different in personality
C. twins raised in two separate families are different in personality
D. upbringing has a less significant effect on children’s personality development
3.According to Paragraph 3, we know that .
A. it is easier for children to gain a language at home
B. it is harder to follow the effects of parental upbringing
C. immigrant children avoid speaking the same way as their parents at school
D. it is proved that peers have a greater effect on children’s qualities
4.What does the author mean by saying parents are not completely off the look at the end of the passage？
A. Parents should control the situation.
B. Parents should give their way to children.
C. Parents should spend more time on children.
D. Parents should take on their responsibility.

What Teenagers Can Do To Earn More Respect
As teenagers continue to grow and develop into young adults, the transition(过渡) into adulthood has begun. With so many physical and emotional changes going on, certain manners are often forgotten and other adult traits (特征) are not yet accepted as a way of life. 1. By doing the following things, you will earn more respect.
Contribute to the household
At the very least, clean up after yourself. As a teenager, you are old enough to clean up after yourself. When you make a mess, clean it up. 2. All chores (零星工作) that you do help to reduce the load of the person who did them before. Now that you’re old enough and capable, why shouldn’t you contribute to the household? 3.
Be responsible
4. Whether they are basic things, like brushing your teeth or doing your homework , or more involved chores that contribute to the household, simply fulfill your responsibilities on time. When adults know that they can rely on you, their trust and respect for you will increase.
Solve more of your own problem without asking for help
Instead of taking the easy approach and asking for help, make an effort to solve your problems on your own first. The “easy way” is only easy for you, but it is an extra task for the person from whom you are seeking help. 5. Depending on the problem, 15 minutes of effort is usually a good guideline. When you become a good problem solver, you increase your value to the community.
A. Everyone has certain responsibilities.
B. It will make your life more pleasant.
C. The people doing the chores before will greatly appreciate the help.
D. This includes, but is not limited to, your dishes and your room.
E. By being aware of these manners and traits, you can manage them sooner.
F. Seek help only after you have made an honest effort to solve your own problems.
G. When speaking to a group, speak loud enough.

Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father. “But, Dad, you can’t be healthy if you’re dead.”
Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt — a mistake 75% of the US people make every day. The big question is why.
There have been many myths（虚构故事）about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common myths.
Myth Number One: It’s best to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident.
Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear” is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are that you’ll have traveled through a windshield (挡风玻璃) or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater if people are “thrown clear.”
Myth Number Two: Safety belts “trap” people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.
Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in them.
Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren’t needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour.
Truth: when two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters.
1.The reason why Father got home in a hurry was that he ________.
A. wasn’t feeling very well
B. wanted to take some exercise
C. hated to drive in the dar
D. didn't want to be caught by the police
2.According to the text, to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident is very dangerous because you________.
A. may be knocked down by other cars
B. may get caught in the car door
C. may get seriously hurt being thrown out of the car
D. may find it impossible to get away from the seat
3.Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believe ________ .
A. cars catch fire easily
B. they will be caught when help comes
C. they will be unable to think clearly in an accident
D. the belt prevents them from escaping in an accident
4.What is the advice given in the text?
A. Never drive faster than 30 miles an hour.
B. Try your best to save yourself in a car accident.
C. Drive slowly while you're not wearing a safety belt.
D. Never forget to wear the safety belt while driving.
