My parents are amazing. I had the most wonderful childhood, and it’s not because I had everything I wanted or because I was a cool kid. I have learned a lot about parenting from what my parents did. Here are a few gems (珍宝) that I use now or plan to use in the future with my two boys.
Here’s how a conversation often went when I was a kid. Usually it was around 4:30 p.m. I said, “I’m hungry. Can I have a cookie?” My mom answered, “No. Have a banana.” “I don’t want a banana.” “Then you’re not hungry.” Sometimes I was angry about it, but I knew that was good for me. Thanks mom for not letting me eat junk food (垃圾食品). Now I agree with my mother and I have this same conversation with my three-year-old son. I hope it helps him form healthy diet habits.
I know many of us heard this as children. “If everyone jumped off a bridge, would you do it, too?” If our kids asked for something just because everyone else had it or was doing it, we often got this response. It was the perfect response, and we soon learned not to ask for things because everyone else had it, but because it was something we wanted.
I will always be thankful that my parents let us try the things that interested us, not the things they wanted to push us into. This helped me try swimming, dance, and the piano before second grade. I found a love — singing — and kept up with that through my college years. It drives me crazy, as a mom and teacher, when I see kids who are pushed into their parents’ favorite activities, even when they don’t have a passion for them.
1.What are the gems in the writer’s mind?
A. Her parents’ knowledge.
B. Her parents’ educational methods.
C. Her parents’ love.
D. Her parents’ personalities.
2. Why does the writer mention the conversation with her mother in Paragraph 2?
A. To show her mother was so strict with her.
B. To stress the importance of healthy diet habits.
C. To show her mother was not concerned about her.
D. To show how her mother helped her develop healthy diet habits.
3.The response from the writer’s parents in Paragraph 3 is mainly used to .
A. refuse their kid’s same request
B. meet their kid’s right request
C. tell their kid not to be in danger
D. tell the good from the bad
4.Which of the following may be supported by the writer?
A. The children must do what their parents want them to.
B. The children can do anything that they want to.
C. The children must do what is useful to society.
D. The children can try the things that interest them.

In 1943, when I was 4, my parents moved from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, to Fairbanks, Alaska, where adventure was never very far away.
We arrived in the summer, just in time to enjoy the midnight sun. All that sunlight was fantastic for Mom's vegetable garden. Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off, so she didn't care much about my bedtime.
Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mom was his clerk. That left me in a mess. I usually managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little fire going in the dirt basement of a hotel. I had tried to light a barrel (桶) of paint but couldn't really get a good fire going. The smoke got pretty bad, though, and when I made my exit, a crowd and the police were there to greet me. The policemen took my matches and drove me home.
Mom and Dad were occupied/busy in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me, and they did! I had a tour of the prison before Mom rescued me. 1 hadn't turned 5 yet.
As I entered kindergarten, the serious cold began to set in. Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail(栏杆) at school?
As for Leonhard Seppala, famous as a dog sledder (驾雪橇者), I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday. At the time I didn't realize what a superstar he was, but I do remember the ride well. I was wrapped heavily and well sheltered (保护) from the freezing and blowing weather.
In 1950, we moved back to Coeur d'Alene, but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska.
1. What can be inferred about the author's family?
A. His father was a cruel man.
B. His parents didn't love him.
C. His mother didn't have any jobs.
D. His parents used to be very busy.
2.What happened when the author was 4?
A. He learned to smoke.
B. He was locked in a basement.
C. He was arrested（拘捕） by the police.
D. He nearly caused a fire accident.
3.Which of the following is true?
A. Leonhard was good at driving dog sleds.
B. The author spent his whole childhood in Alaska.
C. Leonhard often visited the author's family after 1950.
D. The author suffered a lot while taking the dog sled in Alaska.
4.What is the author's purpose of writing the text?
A. To describe the extreme weather of Alaska.
B. To look back on his childhood with adventures.
C. To express how much he misses Leonhard.
D. To show off his pride in making trouble.

D
Let us suppose it is now about A.D. 2060. Let’s make believe (假装；虚构) it is about sixty years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.
Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment (娱乐) of young and old.
What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven’t yet started to take on heir (继承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may some day. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.
Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet’s surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed bypests. The harvest is always good.
Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.
People are now largely vegetarians (素食者). You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animal decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more.
Such would be our life in 2060.
1.When was the passage written?
A. In about A.D. 2060. B. In about 1960.
C. In about 2004. D. In about 2000.
2. According to the passage, what will be on the moon in about A.D. 2060?
A.Many other animals. B.Many tourists.
C. Many plants. D. A sea.
3.What will people eat then according to the passage?
A. Foods in pill form. B.Biscuits in pill form.
C.Foods in water form. D. Foods in gas form.
4.The passage tells us that in 2060, ____ on the earth than now.
A. there are fewer population
B. there are more pests
C. the crops are getting better

阅读理解。
It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter.
Road politeness is not only good manners, but a good sense. It takes the most cool?headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behavior of politeness is by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.
However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. A typical example is the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.
An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in a traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can't even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship (公路驾车技能). Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give?and?take (互谅互让) from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.
1.The passage mainly talks about ________.
A．traffic jams B．good manners
C．road politeness D．modern drivers
2.Troubles on the road are often caused by ________.
A．traffic jams
B．the behavior of the drivers
C．the great speed of modern life
D．terrible road conditions
3.According to the writer, a good driver should ________.
A．encourage children to cross the road whenever they want to
B．beat back when forced to face rude driving
C．be able to recognize politeness when he sees it
D．join in a traffic stream quickly however other people feel
4.It is not always right for drivers to ________.
A．master the roadmanship
B．neglect politeness when they see it
C．give a friendly nod in answer to an act of politeness
D．encourage old ladies to cross the road whenever and wherever they want to
