    Like most big projects, learning to manage your mother well is what you should do. Here are what I believe the best steps towards a better relationship with her. They are not necessarily surprising or revolutionary, but they have worked for many people. Try them.
    Remember your mother’s age. As children, we often do not think of our mother as having an age. Even when we become conscious of her as an individual, age does not change our view; she is still our mother. Knowing our mother’s age, not just in numbers of years but in terms of her psychological and physical state, often helps us to understand her better.
    Listen to your mother. I have found that sometimes the things my mother told me long ago are remarkably useful. If your mother knows that you respect her point of view, even if you do not share it, it will help her feel close to you.
    Remember that your mother has a past. A key step in managing our relationship with our mother is to find out about her early life.In learning about our mother’s past, we know that it can encourage us to think about her whole life.
    Ask your mother about your childhood history. My grandparents died when I was young. If you are fortunate enough to have living family, think of your life as a jigsaw puzzle and ask as many questions as you can to put the picture together. Understanding your roots and your childhood can help you know more clearly who you are, as part of a family which you share with your mother.
    Remember that managing your mother is really about managing yourself. Taking any measure to managing our mother is the issue of how we manage ourselves. No matter how difficult we find her, it is important to remember that it is not her behavior itself that is causing us discomfort, but the way we feel about her behavior. We should follow the way of her life. At the heart of managing your mother is being able to accept your flawed self. Only then are you able to accept your mother-----with all her failings.
    64. 小题1:What does the underlined phrase “a jigsaw puzzle” mean?
    A．拼图玩具B．浏览迷宫C．填充字谜D．游戏人生
    65. 小题2:Which of the following is implied but not stated in the passage?
    A．You will have a better relationship with your mother if you respect her opinion.
    B．Knowing your mother’s age is a useful piece of advice.
    C．The key measure of managing our mother is how we manage ourselves.
    D．It is unreasonable to expect our mother to change totally from the way she was brought up.
    66. 小题3:The main purpose of writing the text is _______.
    A．to give information about how you think of your mother
    B．to improve the relationship with your mother
    C．to keep a sense of humor about your mother all day long
    D．to accept your mother-----with all her failings

    小题1:A

    Do you know what kind of things the young people are reading? More and more  36  and parents have noticed another kind of pollution, which comes from the printed papers  37  on streets.
    　　These printed things 38  newspapers but have hardly anything to do with 39 . You can only find reading materials badly made up there---some are too strange for anyone to 40 ,  others are frightening stories of something  41  .However, many of the young readers are getting interested in such  42  reading, which  43 them what they should pay for their breakfast and brings them nightmares（噩梦）and immoral（邪恶）ideas in  44 .  Homework is left  45 ,  and daily games are lost.

    The sheep-skinned wolf’s story seems to have been forgotten once again .Why not 48 this kind of thing? Yes, both teachers and parents have asked each other for more strict control of the young readers.  49  ,the more you want to forbid it, the more they want to have a look at it. 50  you may even find  several children, driven by the curious natures,  51  one patched paper,  which has travelled from hand to hand.
    　　It really does 52  to our society. It has already formed a sort of moral pollution. The  53  teachers and parents need more powerful support in their protection of the young generation. At the same time the young 54  need more interesting books to help them  55  those ugly papers.

    Advice to English learners
    Learners of English, especially self-taught learners may have trouble in understanding speeches by native speakers. The following ways might help improve their ability.
    First of all, do things step by step. It is not good to listen to something beyond your level. Better choose a suitable course and start with the first book. Go on to the second book only after you are sure you understand the first one.
    Secondly, stick to one course of study. Don’t change books often. Never let your attention be attracted by another course just because it seems to be more “ fashionable”(时髦).
    Thirdly, listen to the English news programme over the radio from time to time. Better go through the news stories in the Chinese-language newspaper first. That will make it easy for you to understand the English news on the radio.
    Fourthly, if you have time, listen to some interesting stories in “special English” from the VOA or other listening materials of the same level as that of your textbook.
    小题1:This is a piece of advice to learners of English in how to_____.
    A．improve their listening abilityB．read fast

    Lichens (地衣) are difficult to see. They don’t move. They often mix into the living place. You might not even recognize one if you are looking right at it.
    Lichens live on rocks, branches, houses, and even metal street signs. You can find these colorful organisms (微生物) almost everywhere — from deserts to rainforests, and from Antarctica to Africa. They’ve traveled in outer space, and some scientists think there might even be lichens on Mars.
    What you probably don’t realize is that a lichen is more than a single thing. It includes two different types of living organisms: a fungus (菌类) and an alga (藻类). Neither of these organisms is a plant, so the lichen isn’t a plant either.
    Through photosynthesis (光合作用), the alga gets the sun’s energy to make food for the fungus, which is the place for the alga to live in. However, the alga cannot leave the fungus.
    Around the world, scientists have found tens of thousands of types of lichens. Many may not even have been discovered yet. As scientists continue to find new kinds of lichens, they are also working to understand how they are connected to one another. By putting together a lichen family tree, they hope to understand why so many different types of lichens have grown in so many places around the world.
    Many researchers are trying to understand basic facts about the organisms and their connections. Researchers are also using lichens to examine the health of the environment.
    小题1:What do we know about lichens according to the passage?
    A．They will die if they leave Earth.
    B．There are more lichens than plants on Earth.
    C．They look similar to the environment around them.
    D．They are too small to be easily seen by people.
    小题2:What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?
    A．The way lichens live.
    B．The natural environment of lichens.
    C．The way lichens work as organisms.
    D．The family tree of lichens.
    小题3:Which of the following statements is NOT the scientists’ purposes of studying lichens?
    A．To understand basic facts about them.
    B．To creat a lichen family tree.
    C．To understand how lichens are related to each other.
    D．To understand why lichens can live in different places.
    小题4:We can know from the passage that __________.
    A．lichens can be used to better understand the environment
    B．lichens don’t have any differences in colors or sizes
    C．lichens don’t use photosynthesis like a green plant
    D．scientists have discovered every kind of lichen

    As in the field of space travel, new technologies continue to appear in undersea exploration. They share a number of similarities with each other — as well as some important differences.
    Manned submersibles (潜水器), like spaceships, must maintain living conditions in an unnatural environment. While a spaceship must simply be sealed against the vacuum space, a submersible must be able to bear extreme pressure if it is not to break up in deep water.
    In exploring space, unmanned vehicles were employed before astronauts. In undersea exploration, on the other hand, men paved the way, and only recently have unmanned remote-operated vehicles (ROVs) been put to use.
    One reason for this is that communicating with vehicles in orbit is much easier than talking to those underwater. A vacuum is an ideal medium for radio communications, but underwater communications are limited to much slower sound waves. Thus, most undersea vehicles — particularly ROVs — operate at the end of long ropes.(电缆终端)
    For a similar reason, knowing where you are undersea is much more difficult than in space. A spaceship’s position can be located by following its radio signal, or by using telescopes and radar. For an undersea vehicle, however, a special network of sonar （声纳系统）devices must be laid out in advance on the ocean floor in the area of a dive to locate the vehicle’s position.
    Though undersea exploration is more challenging than outer space in a number of respects, it has a distinct advantage: going to the ocean depths doesn’t require the power necessary to escape Earth’s gravity. Thus, it remains far less expensive.
    小题1:The purpose of the passage is ______.
    A．to persuade you to explore the depths of the ocean
    B．to stress the importance of the undersea exploration
    C．to make you believe that the undersea exploration is better
    D．to tell some differences between two kinds of explorations
    小题2: By saying “men paved the way” in Paragraph 2 the author means that in undersea exploration ______.
    A．unmanned vehicles were used in the beginning
    B．men covered the ocean floor with stones and bricks
    C．manned vehicles were employed before unmanned ones
    D．men invented unmanned remote-operated vehicles in the past
    小题3:The sonar devices must be placed ______.
    A．from time to time
    B．after the undersea vehicles dive
    C．before the undersea vehicles dive
    D．when the undersea vehicles are diving
    小题4:What can we infer from the passage?
    A．Submersibles usually break up in deep water.
    B．Undersea vehicles can receive signals immediately.
    C．Going to space needs power to escape the gravity.
    D．Radio communications are quite difficult in a vacuum.

    After we meet people it is up to us to make them our friends．Let us stop a moment and consider what really makes a friend．The major qualities like faithfulness, devotion, friendly company, flash through our minds．But it is the large number of very small particular qualities that make up one’s whole character, such as cheerfulness, friendliness, and punctuality (守时).After all, “ to make a friend, be a friend” is not such a big and difficult order．There are particular favorable qualities, which attract others to us, and some elements which do have an effect on people in fundamental psychology(基础心理学) or not.
    If you are in the presence of a shy person, talking and asking casual (随意的) questions may bring him out of his shell．Think of what would be most acceptable to the other person, for you to talk, or to listen．Either way the goal is to make yourself pleasant.
    Always remember to listen, but listen intelligently．To have anyone “ hang on our words” is the most unnoticeably clever way in the world to please somebody．For a few extremely happy seconds we are the centre of attraction, but when it is our turn to be audience, let us remember how we felt as the actor, and let’s be genuinely (真正地) interested in what the other fellow is saying.
    Other people will like us, if we like them．If you want friends, keep your mind and heart open to friendship．Be alive to the other person’s world.
    小题1:This passage is mainly about_________________.
    A．the ways of talking to a shy person
    B．some favorable qualities to be a psychologist

    Tired of telling students to ask questions and to think about what they were doing, Damien Hynes, a high school geography teacher in Australia, decided to do an experiment to test what he had long been thinking．He wrote some well-organized nonsense （something untrue） on the blackboard．The students simply copied it but very few asked any questions．This shows that students are willing to believe anything given by teachers．The story is repeated in support of the Project for Enhancing Effective Learning （PEEL）．
    PEEL was carried out by some teachers and researchers in Melbourne who had concluded that normal teaching methods seldom achieve their intended goals; what the teachers think they are teaching is one thing and what the students actually learn is something else．Students’ lack of an over-all view of learning goals and their concentration on test scores make them see each lesson as a separate activity．
    Researchers realized that many students do not come into class empty-headed but have their own explanations of how the world works．Their own ideas can remain important to them even when they differ from scientific explanations that are learned later．In fact such ideas are hardly affected by traditional teaching．Students accept the teacher’s scientific explanation, but do not drop their own．They simply keep both and use them practically: in a class test, they copy the teacher’s idea, but in real life they use their own．
    Clearly what was needed was to make students understand their learning process（过程）, and this is what the PEEL teachers set out to deal with．On the surface,（表面） a class being taught by PEEL methods only differs from an ordinary class in being a little noisier, because more people are talking．But there are some meaningful changes．Students are given much more time to express their views, and teachers don’t make immediate judgment．The students are allowed to guide what is done in class and their own ideas are always respected．This draws their attention to the actual learning process, and they become responsible for their own progress．
    小题1:The aim of Hynes’ experiment was to ______．
    A．show that students didn’t think about what they learnt
    B．prove the effectiveness of the project known as PEEL
    C．test students’ general knowledge about geography
    D．encourage students to ask more questions in class
    小题2:Why did some teachers and researchers carry out PEEL?
    A．To ensure teachers do scientific work．
    B．To help students get higher test scores．
    C．To find the differences between what is taught and learnt．
    D．To help normal teaching methods achieve their goals．
    小题3:An important difference between PEEL and non-PEEL classes is that in the PEEL classes ______．
    A．the teacher does not give the usual scientific explanations
    B．students always have their own knowledge of the subject
    C．more attention is paid to the students’ own ideas
    D．the best explanations are given by the students
    小题4:What is Damien Hynes？
    A．He is a teacher who teaches geography in a high school in Australia
    B．He is a geography teacher and a researcher in Australia
    C．He is a teacher teaching geography in a high school in Austria
    D．He is a high school geography teacher in Austria．

    Just like the young character in Hannah Montana, who so often fights with her father over her desire to be more independent, British teenagers also have their troubles.
    A recent survey among 2,000 British parents shows that girls and boys experience similar kinds of stress, with some slight differences .
    Girls want to grow up fast, demanding greater freedom. They feel pressure from their peers to be thin and sometimes dangerously experiment with alcohol .
    Girls over 14 are more concerned with getting a boyfriend, make-up and going out with friends than with their schoolwork. They are more likely to complain about pocket money .
    Parents found they have their toughest time with boys over the age of 15. Their sons are battling bad skin, are reluctant(不情愿的) to speak, and just like girls over 14 are little interested in their studies. Seven out of ten parents said their sons become frustrated(挫败的) when they are not understood .
    Unsurprisingly, it isn’t just British teenagers who have such problems.
    In a survey published in the US last month, two out of three high school students said their life was tough. There was a universal worry over body image and ability to fit in socially.
    Plenty of the teenagers feel great pressures to get good grades, with nearly half regarding this as their top worry. The next biggest issue is pressure they face to get into good college. According to the survey, 66 percent reported saving their money to pay for all or part of college.
    “Today’s American teens have witnessed what their families have endured during recent economic challenges, and they are much more aware of the importance of planning ahead,” said Stuart Rubinstein, managing director with TD Ameritrade, which carried out the survey.
    小题1:What is the article mainly about?
    A．What makes the lives of teenagers so hard?
    B．How to deal with teen problems?
    C．Stress faced by UK and US teenagers.
    D．Peer pressure faced by UK and US teenagers.
    小题2:According to the survey, boys over 15 often feel great pressure to ______.
    A．grow up fastB．experiment with alcohol
    C．get into a good collegeD．be more open and communicative
    小题3:The underlined word “universal” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to ______.
    A．globalB．commonC．averageD．reasonable
    小题4:How have recent economic challenges affected American teens?
    A．They have become more concerned about their future.
    B．They are now more worried about the ability to fit in socially.
    C．They are attempting to learn more about money management.
    D．They are spending more time developing their practical skills.
