    Parents should stop blaming themselves because there’s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.

    I’ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself (懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I don't know what to do with him these days,” she said. “He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.”

    He hasn’t forgotten them. He’s just decided that he’s not going to use them. She confessed (坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.

    Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, “I don’t like your dress; it’s ugly.” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.

    “Where did we go wrong?” her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.

    1.This text is most probably written by ______.

    A. a specialist（专家） in teenager studies   B. a headmaster of a middle school

    C. a parent with teenage children   D. a doctor for mental health problems

    2. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to ______.

        A. the change from good to bad that’s seen in a child

        B. the way that parents often blame themselves

        C. the opinion that a child has of his parents

        D. the advice that parents want their children to follow

    3.From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters __.

        A. pay no attention to them        B. are too busy to look after them

        C. have come to hate them           D. feel helpless to do much about them

    4.What is the author’s opinion about the sudden change in teenage children?

    A. Parents have no choice but to try to accept it.

    B. Parents should pay still some attention to the change.

    C. Parents should work more closely with school teachers.

    D. Parents are at fault for the change in their children.

    　　Paper-cutting is a very typical visual art of Chinese handicrafts(手工艺品)．It originated from the 6th century when women used to paste the silver cuttings onto their hair．Later, they were used during festivals to decorate gates and windows．After hundreds of years'development, now they have become a very popular means of decoration among country people, especially women．

    　　The main cutting tools are simple：paper and scissors or a cutting knife, but clever and skillful craftspeople are really good at cutting in the theme of daily life．When you look at items made in this method carefully, you will be amazed by the true expressions of the figure's, emotion and appearance, or natural plants and animals'diverse gestures．Patterns of flowers display the beautiful petals(花瓣), pied magpies show their tiny feathers, and others such as a married daughter returning to her parents'home, or young people paying a New Year call to their grandparents．

    　　It is easy to learn about cutting a piece of paper, but very difficult to master it with perfection．One must grasp the knife in an upright fashion and press steadily on the paper with some strength．Flexibility is required but any hesitation or wiggling will lead to imprecision or damage the whole cutting．Cutters stress the cutting lines in several styles．They attempt to carve a circle like the moon, a straight line like a stem of wheat, a square like a brick, and jaggedly like the beard．

    　　People find hope and comfort in expressing wishes with paper cuttings．For example：for a wedding ceremony, red paper cuttings are a traditional and required decoration on the tea set, the dressing table glass, and on other furniture．A big red paper character 'Xi'(happiness)is a traditional must on the newlywed's door．Upon the birthday party of a senior, the character 'Shou'represents long life and will add delight to the whole celebration; while a pattern of chubby(胖乎乎的)children holding fish signifies that every year they will be rich in wealth．

    A letter to Edward, a columnist(报刊专栏作家）

    Dear Mr Expert:

    I grew up in an unhappy and abusive home. I always Promised myself that I’d get out as soon as possible. Now, at age 20,I have a good job and a nice house, and I’m really proud of the independence I’ve achieved.

    Here’s the problem: several of my friends who still live with their parents wish they had places like mine ― so much so that they make mine theirs.

    It started out with a couple of them spending the weekends with me. But now they seem to take it for granted that they can shou up any time they like. They bring boyfriends over, talk on the phone and stay out forever.

    I enjoy having my friends here sometimes― it makes the place feel comfortable and warm― but this is my home, not a party house. I was old enough to move out on my own, so why can’t I seem to ask my friends to respect my privacy(隐私)?

    Joan

    Edward’s reply to Joan

    Dear Joan:

    If your family didn’t pay attention to your needs when you were a child, you probably have trouble letting others know your needs now.

    And if you’ve gathesed yourfriends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere(气氛),you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict you grew up with― or destroy the nice atmosphere you now enjoy. You need to understand that in true friendship it’s okay to put your own needs first from time to time.

    Be clear about the message you want to send. For example, “I really love your company but I also need some privacy. So please call before you come over.”

    63. We can learn from the first letter that Joan Edward         .

    A. lives away from her parents

    B. takes pride in her friends

    C. knows Mr Expert quite well

    D. hates her parents very much

    64.We can infer from the first letter that         .

    A. Joan considers her friends more important than her privacy

    B. Joan’s friends visit her more often than she can accept

    C. Joan doesn’t like the parties at all

    D. Joan dislikes the boyfriends her friends bring over

    65. According to Mr Expert, why can’t Joan tell her friends her feelings?

    A. She is afraid of hurting her friends.

    B. She does not understand true friendship.

    C. Her family experience stops her from doing so.

    D. She does not put her needs first.

    66. The underlined word “conflict” in the second letter means       .

    A. dependent life        B. fierce fight           C. bad manners           D. painful feeling

    67.The second letter suggests that Mr Expert         .
