5.Old-Fashioned Play-For Pay
Kids!Come to have a ball!Or 60,000of them!There's a new type of business franchise(经销权) that is appearing in shopping malls and neighborhood across America offering pay-per-use indoor playgrounds,which feature toys,games,guided fun and a workout that doesn't break the family bank.
As public playgrounds grow increasingly worn and dirty,the for-profit centers offer clean,safe guided activity as well as a variety of challenging exercises to develop kids'physical fitness,usually for a fee of around $5an hour."Playgrounds are dirty,not guided,"says Dick Guggenheimer,owner of the two-month-old Discovery Zone in Yonkers,N.Y.,part of Kansas City-based chain,"We are indoors; we are padded;parents can feel their child is safe".
In order to satisfy the need of two-earner families,the new franchise stays open in the evenings,long after traditional public playgrounds have grown dark and unusable.However,these new playgrounds are not meant to be day-care centers.Parents are expected to go stay and play with their kids rather than drop them off.But several also provide high-tech baby-sitting services.At some of the Discovery Zones,parents can register their children in special guided programs,then leave them and slip away for a couple of hours to enjoy a movie or dinner.If there is a problem,Mum and Dad are called.
The most fun of all,though,is getting to do what parents used to do in the days before two-earner families and two-hour commutes,play with their kids.That,at least,is old-fashioned,even at per-hour rates.
29.What is this article mainly talking about?B
A.Children can play without parent's care
B.A new type of business franchise for kids.
C.The fast development of Discovery Zone
D.The disadvantages of outdoor playgrounds.
30.According to the article,which of the following is TRUE to the new playground?C
A.The cost is high for a family.
B.It doesn't allow parents to leave their kids.
C.It's a place where parents can play together with their kids.
D.It stays open in the evening just as traditional playgrounds.
31.The writer's attitude toward the new playground isC.
A.doubtful       
B.negative       
C.agreeable        
D.unknown.

16.Whether we're 2 years old or 62,our reasons for lying are mostly the same:to get out of trouble,for personal gain and to make ourselves look better in the eyes of others.But a growing body of research is raising questions about how a child's lie is different from an adult's lie,and how the way we deceive changes as we grow.
"Parents and teachers who catch their children lying should not be alarmed.Their children are not going to turn out to be abnormal liars,"says Dr.Lee,a director of the Institute of Child Study.The fact that children tell lies is a sign that they have reached a new developmental stage.Dr.Lee conducted a series of studies in which they bring children into a lab with hidden cameras.Children and young adults aged 2 to 17 are likely to lie while being told not to look at a toy,which is put behind the child's back.
For young kids,the desire to cheat is big and 90% take a secret look in these experiments.When the test-giver returns to the room,the child is asked if he or she looked secretly.At age 2,about a quarter of children will lie and say they didn't.By 3,half of kids will lie,and by 4,that figure is 90%,studies show.
Researchers have found that it's kids with better understanding abilities who lie more.That's because to lie you also have to keep the truth in mind,which includes many brain processes,such as combining several sources of information and faking that information.The ability to lie-and lie successfully-is thought to be related to developme nt of brain regions that allow so called"executive functioning",or higher order thinking and reasoning abilities.Kids who perform better on tests that involve executive functioning also lie more.
29.What's the purpose of children telling lies?B
 A.To help their friends out.
B.To get rid of trouble.
 C.To get attention from others.
D.To create a popular image.
30.From the second paragraph we can know thatC.
  A.which factors can reduce lying     
B.why some lie more than others
C.it is normal for kids to tell lies       
D.how lying changes as kids grow
31.It can be inferred from the passage thatC.
A.children's lies are the same as adults'
B.the better kids are,the more they lie
C.the older kids are,the more they lie 
D.kids always keep the truth in their mind
32.What is NOT included in the passage?D
A.The reasons why kids tell lies.
B.Which kind of kids tells more lies.
C.Experiments about lying of young kids.
D.What to do with lying children.

13.How can I fight laziness?
Lazy people will never amount to anything in life.However,laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.(36)C
Many people lack sleep constantly,since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work.These people have little motivation once they arrive home.Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things.By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest,you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active.Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task.Others take a more proactive approach,viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone.(37)F
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations that surround them.A television in the living room may provide entertainment,but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness.(38)G
Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy,such as a good dinner or a film.
Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home.Couples and children may all have different energy levels,but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately.(39)A
Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal.Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task.It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.(40)D
Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle,thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.

A.To fight family laziness,set an example.
B.Knowing how to fight laziness is important.
C.One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.
D.Finally,taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.
E.With strong determination,you will be able to achieve your goal.
F.Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.
G.Create a reward system for yourself,just as parents do for the children.

Of all my teachers,Mr.Brown is the one who leave me the strongest impression.He is 45,but he looks young for his age.And he's one of a most popular teachers in our school.Comparing with others,Mr.Brown pays attention to his way of teaching.He tried different ways to make his classes active.

14.The Winner's Guide to Success
Do you know what makes people successful?To find out the answers,an American scholar recently visited some of the most successful people around the world.(36)D
Be responsible for yourself
Sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead.In fact,when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success,you're giving away your own power.(37)F
Write a plan
It is very difficult to try to get what you want without a good plan.It is just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away.(38)CWithout this"map",you may waste your time,money and also your energy; while with the"map"you'll enjoy the"trip"and get what you want in the shortest possible time.
Be willing to pay the price
(39)BSo you must be ready to work hard-even harder than you have ever done.If you are not willing to pay the price,you won't get anything valuable.
(40)A
It seems to us that everyone knows this.But it is easier said than done.When you are doing something,you must tell yourself again and again:Giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success,but giving up means the death of hope.

A.Never give up.
B.Nothing is easy to get.
C.A good plan is like a map to you.
D.Here are some keys to success that they give.
E.Some people achieve success much later in life.
F.You're saying,"You have more control over my life than I do."
G.Someone else's opinion of you doesn't have to become your reality.
