                                              B

          For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do？

          Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.

          In this article, I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends.

    Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is— politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg—the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority — someone who actually knows something —and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.

    55. Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?

         A. Both can continue for generations.

         B. Both are about where to draw the line.

         C. Neither has any clear winner.

         D. Neither can be put to an end.

    56. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?

         A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.

         B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.

         C. The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.

         D. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.

    57. Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ____

         A. give orders to the other

         B. know more than the other

         C. gain respect from the other

         D. get the other to behave properly

    58. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?

         A. Causes for the parent-teen conflicts.

         B. Examples of the parent-teen war.

         C. Solutions for the parent-teen problems.

         D.  Future of the parent-teen relationship.

    If you were to walk up to Arthur Bonner and say, “ Hey, Butterfly Man,” his face would break into a smile. The title suits him. And he loves it.

    Arthur Bonner works with the Palos Verdes blue butterfly(蝴蝶), once thought to have died out. Today the butterfly is coming back — thanks to him. But years ago if you’d told him this was what he’d be doing someday, he would have laughed, “ You’re crazy.” As a boy, he used to be “ a little tough guy on the streets”. At age thirteen, he was caught by police for stealing. At eighteen, he landed in prison for shooting a man..

    “ I knew it had hurt my mom,” Bonner said after he got out of prison. “ So I told myself I would not put my mom through that pain again.”

    One day he met Professor Mattoni, who was working to rebuild the habitat(栖息地) for an endangered butterfly called El Segundo blue.

    “ I saw the sign ‘ Butterfly Habitat’ and asked, ‘ How can you have a habitat when the butterflies can just fly away?’” Bonner recalls. “ Dr. Mattoni laughed and handed me a magnifying glass(放大镜) , ‘Look at the leaves.’ I could see all these caterpillars(蝴蝶的幼虫) on the plant. Dr Mattoni explained, ‘ Without the plant, there are no butterflies.’”

    Weeks later, Bonner received a call from Dr. Mattoni, who told him there was a butterfly that needed help. That was how he met the Palos Verdes blue. Since then he’s been working for four years to help bring the butterfly back. He grows astragalus, the only plant the butterfly eats. He collects butterflies and brings them into a lab to lay eggs. Then he puts new butterflies into the habitat.

    The butterfly’s population, once almost zero, is now up to 900. For their work, Bonner and Dr. Mattoni received lots of awards. But for Bonner, he earned something more: he turned his life around.

    For six years now Bonner has kept his promise to stay out of prison. While he’s bringing back the Palos Verdes blue, the butterfly has helped bring him back, too.

    41. When he was young, Arthur Bonner _______.

       A. broke the law and ended up in prison         B. was fond of shooting and hurt his mom

       C. often laughed at people on the streets          D. often caught butterflies and took them home

    42. Bonner came to know the Palos Verdes blue after he _______.

       A. found the butterfly had died out                 B. won many prizes from his professor

       C. met Dr. Mattoni, a professor of biology             D. collected butterflies and put them into a lab

    43. From the last sentence of the text, we learn that raising butterflies has _________.

       A. made Bonner famous                               B. changed Bonner’s life

       C. brought Bonner wealth                            D. enriched Bonner’s knowledge

    44. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

       A. A Promise to Mom                                         B. A Man Saved by Butterflies

       C. A Story of Butterflies                                     D. A Job Offered by Dr. Mattoni
