I've always felt a bit sad for weekend fathers, who are divorced and must maintain a bond with their children through visits on the weekend．Not having the opportunity for a lot of quality time, they go in for quantity giving lots of gifts and taking the children on non stop outings．
But now I can understand．I'm a weekend mom．My child, Henry, is a dog．
Henry just returned to his father, Jack, after a happy stay with me．For ten days, I fed him the best food, canceled plans to stay home with him and let him sleep on the bed every night．

That hurt, especially since I had friends over at the time．In a rare conciliatory （安抚的） mood, Jack said to me, "You know, I' m his best friend, but you'll always be his mom．"

Speaking two languages can actually help offset(抵消) some effects of aging on the brain, a new study has found,
Researchers tested how long it took participants to switch from one cognitive(认知的) task to another, something that-s known to take longer for older adults, said lead researcher, Brian Gold, a neuroscientist at the University of Kentucky.
Gold’s team compared task-switching speeds for younger and older adults, knowing they would find slower speeds in the older population because of previous studies. However, they found that older adults who spoke two languages were able to switch mental activities faster than those didn’t . The study only looked at life long bilinguals(会说两种语言的人) defined in study as people speaking a second language daily since they were at least 10 years old.
Gold and his team asked 30 people, either bilingual or monolingual(只僮一种语言 人) , to have a series of tests. They found that bilingual people were not only able to switch tasks faster they had different brain activity than their monolingual peers.
Kristina called bilingualism "a beautiful natural experiment”, because people grow up speaking two languages,and studies have shown that they get certain cognitive benefits from switching between languages and determining which to respond with based on what's going on around them.
Gold said he grew up in Montreal, where he spoke French at school and English at home, prompting relatives to question whether his French language immersion would somehow hinder his ability to learn English.
"Until very recently, learning a second language in childhood was thought of as dangerous," he said. "Actually, it's beneficial. "
1.What-s the main idea of the passage?
A. Researchers found that speaking two languages is important.
B. Researchers found that bilingual people respond slowly.
C. Researchers found that bilingual people can slow down the speed or aging on the brain and respond fast.
D. Researchers found that bilingual people are great.
2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Older bilinguals can-t respond faster in mind.
B. Older adults speaking a second language daily since they were at least 10 years old can respond faster than those who don't
C. Young bilinguals can respond faster in mind than those monolinguals.
D. Bilingual children respond slower in mind than those monolinguals.
3.Kristina called bilingualism "a beautif'ul natural experiment" because
A. people grow up, benefiting from speaking two languages
B. people speaking two languages are natural
C. people speaking two languages are beautiful
D. people speaking two languages like the experiment
4.We can learn from the last paragraph that learning a second language in childhood is________
A. dangerous to children
B. not beneficial to children
C.dangerous but beneficial to children
D. not dangerous but beneficial to children

To Friend or Not To Friend
We all love our parents and turn to them when we’re in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends on the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have become extensions of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?
In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day to day lives as they always had because they had no need to know more about technology. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to education themselves about social networking sites.
These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there’s also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.
It’s a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we don’t want to “reject” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.
A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it personally if their child ignores their request, “When a teen ignores a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to be independent.”
Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow if you do choose not to add them to your friends list.
1.From Paragraph 2, we learn that _______.
A. parents feel secure about their privacy online
B. social networks successfully fill the generation gap
C. parents have realized the importance of social networks
D. social networks offer a platform for parents to communicate
2.Teenagers may refuse a parent’s friend request because _______.
A. they hide something from their parents
B. they are unwilling to be watched by parents
C. their parents tend to fall behind in technology
D. their parents make negative comments on them
3.The passage is mainly about _______.
A. privacy online
B. social networks
C. the generation gap
D. parents’ friend requests
4.The passage is written mainly for _______.
A. parents B. teenagers
C. teachers D. researchers

Manners nowadays in big cities like London are particularly non-existent. It’s nothing for a big, strong schoolboy to elbow an elderly woman aside in the dash for the last remaining seat on the tube or bus, much less stand up and offer his seat to her.
This question of giving up seats in public transport is much argued by young men, who say that, since women have claimed equality, they no longer deserve to be treated with courtesy(谦恭有礼) and that those who go out to work should take their turn in the rat race like anyone else. Women have never claimed to be physically as strong as men. Even if it’s not agreed, however, that young men should stand up for older women, the fact remains that courtesy should be shown to the old, the sick and the burdened. Are we really so lost to all ideals of unselfishness that we can sit there indifferently reading the paper or a book, saying to ourselves “ First come, first served”, while a gray-haired woman, a mother with a young child or a cripple stands? Yet this is too often seen.
Older people, tired and easy annoyed from a day’s work, aren’t angels, either—far from it. Many a brisk argument or an insulting quarrel breaks out as the weary queues push and shove each other to get on buses and tubes. One cannot commend(推崇) this, of course, but one does feel there is just a little more excuse.
If cities are to remain pleasant places to live in at all, however, it seems necessary, not only that communication in transport should be improved, but also that communication between human beings should be kept smooth and polite. Shop assistant won’t bother to assist, taxi drivers growl at each other as they dash dangerously round corners, bus conductors pull the bell before their desperate passengers have had time to get on or off the bus, and so on. It seems to us that it’s up to the young and strong to do their small part to stop such deterioration (恶化).
1.What is the writer’s opinion concerning courteous manners towards women?
A. They no longer need to be treated differently from men.
B. Young men should give up their seats to young women.
C. “Lady first” should universally practiced.
D. Special consideration ought to be shown to them in some cases.
2.What does “ the rat race” in paragraph 2 probably mean in the passage?
A. A race that involves many people
B. A well-paid job
C. A fierce competition
D. A race for rats
3.According to the passage, communication between human beings would not be smoother unless ____.
A. people become more considerate towards each other
B. people are not so tired and easily annoyed
C. women are treated with more courtesy
D. public transport is improved
4.The main purpose of the passage is to ______.
A. call on people in big cities to pay more attention to politeness
B. blame the schoolboy’s rude behavior towards elderly women on tube or bus
C. criticize the fast pace of life in most of the big cities
D. tell young men to give their seats to elderly people and women

A
The old lady got up early to be ready for the post．Although she seldom received letters or parcels，today she was sure there would be something．Myra wouldn’t forget her mother’s birthday, even if she seldom wrote at other times．Of course Myra was busy．Her husband had been made Mayor, and Myra herself had got a medal for her work for the aged．
The old lady was eighty today．She had put on her best dress．Perhaps Myra might come．The old lady was sure of that．Two spots of color brightened her cheeks．She was excited--like a child．She would enjoy her day．

“No parcel，Johnnie?”
“No，granny．”
Maybe the parcel was too large to come by letter post．That was it．It would come later by parcel post．She must be patient．
