    Pushing children too hard is a really big social problem that seems to be getting worse．Now we have 6-month-olds in music classes and swimming classes．Parents fear that if other children are attending these classes，they will be holding their own children back if they do not enroll，too．

        The other extreme，simply taking a laissez-faire approach and letting children do—or refuse to do—whatever they want，is not the answer either，of course．

        Dr Taylor emphasizes that parents need to push their children based on what is best for the children，not what is best for themselves．If children understand that an activity is in their best interests，then they will accept it, he finds．

        Dr Taylor and other family experts remain pessimistic about the possibilities for widespread social change．“The force of our popular culture，driven by money and superficial（表面上的） values，cannot be resisted，” he says．But change can take place at a“micro-level,” in families and schools．

        When changes do occur，the rewards can benefit everyone in the family．One mother supporting this new approach toward parenting mentions the advantages her family experienced after her children cut back on activities．“The biggest thing is that since we have done this，we are rested,” she says．“Not only are our kids rested，because they're not in a ton of stuff, but my husband and I are rested，because we're not driving them everywhere．We weren’t living in the moment when we were always busy．We were living by the schedule．The return on our investment of spending time together has been enormous．”

    One of the reasons why parents push children so hard is that they       

       A. believe in early development in children

       B. are too busy to take care of their children

       C. don't want their children to lag behindw(w w.ks&5 u.c*o m

       D. want to repeat what their parents did to them

    The phrase“a laissez-faire approach”(in Line 1，Paragraph 2)most probably refers to      .

       A. denying them what they need

       B. controlling children in a flexible way

       C. developing a keen interest in children

       D. letting children do whatever they want

    The best way to encourage children to work hard is           .

       A. to make them believe it’s in their best interests

       B. to consider the matter from parents' standpointw(w w.ks&5 u.c*o m

       C. to emphasize the importance of hard work from time to time

       D. to make it interesting and enjoyable to them

    What the author doesn’t approve of in the essay is _______.

       A. achieving a balance between pushing the children too hard and leaving them alone

       B. going from one extreme of pushing children too hard to the other of leaving them alone

       C. involving children in activity that will probably contribute to their development

       D. enrolling them in music and swimming classes at the very early age

    It’s a goal for millions and millions of families every year——keep the Christmas spending within a certain amount, but can still afford the gifts that your loved ones will enjoy. Never has this concern been greater in recent years than right now. Even so, there are several things that you can do to help.

           Hit the sales.

           No one wants to get up at four o’clock in the morning and fight to get the best deal on Black Friday, and it’s surely very tough to pick up the courage and get out there in the cold for a good deal, but sometimes——it can be well worth. Many retailers(零售商) offer specials all through the day——and some even offer online Black Friday specials, so you may still be able to get a great deal on Black Friday.

           Pay close attention to advertisements.

           Once the Christmas shopping season is coming, retailers hungry for business will do just about whatever to get you in the store. Pay very close attention to weekly advertisements of sales among the major retailers and you may be lucky enough to find different prices for the same thing in different shops.

           Shop online.

           Some of us don’t like running from store to store in order to get the best price on the perfect gift, and some of us don’t like to go out in the cold at all——thankfully for us, we can do online shopping.

           The world of online shopping lets people visit all the major retailers as well as some specialty stores that could only be found on the Internet. Customers can find exactly what they are looking for, at the best possible price without ever having to leave the house. With traditional Christmas shopping consumers are sometimes limited to what’s left in stock if they wait too long to get to a particular store.

    The first paragraph implies that ______.

           A. nowadays not many people can afford expensive gifts

           B. recently many people don’t want to spend money on gifts

           C. Christmas is a time to make our loved ones enjoy their gifts

           D. Christmas is a time to make us feel free to buy our loved ones gifts

    In the writer’s opinion, it is rewarding on Black Friday _____.

           A. if the weather is not very cold                B. if we don’t have to fight for the best deals

           C. if we don’t have to get up early                     D. If we get what we want at a good price

    The underlined word “specials” means_______.

           A. some experts in shopping                       B. certain things for especially low price

           C. some kind of help for a certain customer D. things that can only be found on Friday

    We can have more choices _____.

           A. on Black Friday                                    B. in a particular store

           C. on the Internet                                      D. from retailers

    In this passage the writer means ______.

           A. to tell us the best way to do shopping

    B. to attract more readers to do wise shopping

           C. to show us how hard it is to do Christmas shopping

           D. to give us advice on how to get a good deal at Christmas time

    Early this morning, I got up to make a batch of Rice Krispie Treats for my neighbor across the hall. She barely greets me when we see each other, and her sweet little boy, who's now four,  has picked up her mother's manner and will not talk to me, either．
    Last Monday, she had called the firefighters when a pan I'd forgotten on the stove caused my flat to fog up while I was out taking a walk. When I came home, the street in front of our apartment house was blocked by a police car, a fire truck and an ambulance! The instant I saw them, I remembered the pan! Luckily, nothing serious had happened, and all my neighbors agreed with the firefighter who said, "It could have happened to anyone．" When I thanked the neighbor who had called the firefighters-let's call her Ivy-and apologized for causing the trouble, she just asked if my cats were all right．When I said they were fine, she said, "Well, that's ok then," and turned into her flat．l felt strangely safe, knowing that even though we don't get along, she'd done the right thing and didn't blame me．So, the Rice Krispie Treats．
    Last Christmas, my neighbor carelessly let it out that she was holding a grudge （怨恨） towards me because of an incident we'd had four years ago．I had particularly apologized and asked if there was anything I could do to improve our relationship. She would not accept my apology．
    It had taken me a lot of courage to apologize and ask that question instead of insisting that we both shared responsibility for what had happened．Her flat-out refusal to make amends（补偿） really shocked and saddened me．After that, I decided I'd just leave her be-a relationship takes two to work．So, you see, I was really scared she was going to refuse my offer again, leaving me standing on her doorstep, facing the closed door and holding my plate of treats． I know some people have a hard time understanding how the possibility of rejection can make an adult so afraid, but that's just the way I felt．
    Then, I reminded myself of how loving and good I had felt yesterday when I'd done some random acts of kindness （thanks to helpothers．org）, after telling myself: Feet the fear,  and do it anyway! So I put the squares of Rice Krispie Treats on a beautiful plate, opened my apartment  door-and there she was, standing in the hallway．I smiled and said, "Hi," but when she saw me, she turned on her heels and went back inside, even though she seemed to have just stepped out．I went after her, regardless, and quickly said, "I'm sorry, I've got something for you ! I just wanted to tell you how grateful I am that you were paying attention on Monday．" When she heard me speaking, she turned around． As I held the plate towards her, explaining these were very sweet American treats, and that she could just try and see whether she and her family would like them, her eyebrows winged up-and she took the plate．l was so happy and excited．We then talked a bit about how she'd become aware of the smoke in my flat, and parted ways．
    Back in my place, I did a "happy dance", because I had dared to be kind even though I hadn't been sure at all my kindness would be welcome．I do hope that our relationship will slowly get better; I know I was and still am biased（存有偏见）towards her at times, but even if we don't make amends, I want to be able to be kind without depending on other people's behaviors and reactions .
    【小题1】The neighbor held a grudge towards the writer most probably because_____．

    A．the writer's cats disturb her neighbor frequently
    B．the writer didn't thank her for calling the firefighters
    C．the writer never apologized to her for her misbehaviors
    D．the writer had an unpleasant experience with the neighbor long ago
    【小题2】 From Paragraph 4, we can learn that the author_____.
    A．was afraid of being rejected again by her neighbor
    B．didn't know how to get along with her neighbor
    C．didn't admit it was her fault in the last incident
    D．refused to forgive her neighbor's rude behavior
    【小题3】 After the writer said "Feel the fear, and do it anyway!", she decided to_____.
    A．do an act of kindness
    B．leave her neighbor be
    C．apologize to her neighbor once more
    D．do something to let her neighbor down
    【小题4】What can we learn about the writer?
    A．She was a professional dancer．
    B．She often had quarrels with her neighbor．
    C．She had a bias against her neighbor sometimes．
    D．She had an unpleasant experience at Christmas this year．
    【小题5】 What does the author try to tell us?
    A．Don't punish yourself because of other's mistakes．
    B．We should be kind to others, regardless of their behavior．
    C．We must keep a good relationship with our neighbors．
    D．When we make a mistake, we should have the courage to admit it．

      Language is always changing. In a society where life continues year after year with few changes, the language does not change, either. The earliest known languages had difficult grammar but a small, limited vocabulary. Over the century, the grammar changed, and the vocabulary grew. For example, the English and Spanish people who came to America during the sixteenth century gave names to all new plants and animals they found. In this way, hundreds of new words were introduced into English and Spanish vocabularies. Today life is changing very fast, and language is changing fast too.
     There are several major language families in the world. Some scientists say there are nine main families, but other scientists divide them differently. The languages in each family are connected, and scientists think that they came from the same parent language About 3 percent of the people in the world speak languages that are not in these major families.
    60. The early language had ______.
    A. a lot of problems                                      B. words and easy grammar
    C. words but no grammar                                    D. grammar but not many words
    61. In the next few hundred years we can expect language to ______.
    A. stay exactly the same                             B. change a great deal
    C. change only a little                                  D. add more words and drop some grammar
    62. What this article shows is that ______.
    A. languages change fast             B. languages really don’t want to change
    C. language changes with changes of society     D. Spanish and English change
    63. From this article we can see that ______.
    A. language can change very slowly or very quickly
    B. if we don’t change, then our language won’t change, either
    C. we should give our plants new names

    下面文章中5处（第81-85题）需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。

    A. Education yourself in a long-term way.
    B. Save up for retirement.
    C. Work towards a goal.
    D. Spend money carefully to get long pleasure.
    E. Wise investment can make your life different.
    F. Develop lasting personal relationship.
    1.______
    We all want to buy a new piece of electronic product, spend an expensive night in town, or take a loan for the good-looking care we can’t afford in order to make ourselves happy. You might feel great when you get those things, but later rash(轻率的) spending will hurt you a lot. Because expensive things don’t create lasting happiness and security. Careful spending will bring you great enjoyment in the future.
    2._______
    Wise investing is also something everyone can work on to live happily. It even can make a big difference when they retire between their 40’s and their 60’s. For example, if a person in his early 20’s invests 20% of his income in a fund(基金), the interest he earns will equal his current salary when he reaches his early 40’s. He could retire without a drop in income!
    3._______
    To be happy, we need continuous growth. The best way to grow is life-long education. This doesn’t mean you need to spend 2 hours reading every day. What you need is just to keep an open mind and search for fresh ideas. Education builds over time. You might think that the bits of wisdom you acquire every day don’t mean much, but over the years they will add up to make you a wiser person.
    4. ________
    The personal relationships we develop with friends and family members are the greatest source of happiness in our lives. Don’t forget them. Taking some time to build and enjoy personal relationships is essential to long-term happiness. No matter how successful you are, you’ll probably be miserable without the people you care about.
    5.________
    If you always feel unhappy and think your life is terrible, try to set a goal which interests you a lot. We can’t control everything in our lives, but working towards a goal gives us something positive to focus on and lays the foundation for the future success.
