Last summer I sat at a long picnic table near a breathtaking mountain. While the parents were eating dinner, the kids ran up a trail in search of a secret fort. Twenty minutes later one excited little boy, James, interrupted the adult conversation.
“Mom, Mom, you can’t believe what we found!”
Lovingly, his mother smiled and whispered, “I can’t wait to hear, James, but grown-ups are talking, and there will be a pause in the conversation. Please wait for the pause.”
On my other side, another boy came running up to his mother with equal enthusiasm. “Mom, Mom, we had so much fun—” “I am talking! Don’t interrupt,” she said. “But, Mom—”
“Be quiet! Can’t you see that I am talking??” “But Mom we found the—” “Shut up, Steve!” she yelled.
My heart sank. I knew what was coming. James, on my right, patiently waited for the pause, enthusiasm still alive and well. Steve, on my left, walked away from the table, looking shamed, carrying with him stories of secret forts never to be shared.
What markedly different messages to the child! “Wait for the pause” versus “Shut up” gets incorporated (包含)so differently into a child’s developing sense of self.
Harsh(刺耳的) words have bad effects. That’s why I want you to promise to delete the phrases “Shame on you” or “You should be ashamed” from your vocabulary. I have seen countless patients whose parents’ thoughtless words echoed in their heads and chipped(消除) away at their self-worth, even decades later.
So we have to discipline ourselves to make our instructions constructive. One great tool is to look for positive behavior to reinforce. Don’t ignore the things that your kids are doing right. Thank your children. Tell them that you noticed how they waited patiently or cleared their plate without being asked. Chances are that they will do it again. Let them feel noticed, appreciated, and valued. There’s no better way to shape behavior.
28. Why does the writer tell us the story at the beginning? A. To praise James’ mother.
B. To introduce the topic.
D. To describe the beauty of nature.
C. To stress Steve’s bad manners. A. they can show parents’ weakness B. kids may be likely to copy them C. their meanings are hard to understand D. harsh words have bad effects on kids
30. Which of the following is not proper for parents when offering advice?
29. The writer suggests parents not use harsh phrases such as “Shame on you” because_____.
A. I like the way you deal with it. B. Awesome, you just make it. C. Fantastic!
D. Must I keep repeating?
31. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Love kids through proper language B. Let kids realize their mistakes alone C. Never ignore kids’ mental growth D. Learn to share secrets with kids
D
About a quarter of the world drives on the left, and the countries that do are mostly old British colonies(殖民地) like Australia, and Ireland. But Thailand, Indonesia and Japan also do so. This strange quirk(奇事) puzzles the rest of the world; however, there is a perfectly good reason. Up to the late 1700's, everybody travelled on the left side of the road because it's the sensible option for feudal(封建的), violent societies of mostly right-handed people. Soldiers with their swords under their right arm naturally passed on each other's right, and if you passed a stranger on the road you walked on the left to ensure that your protective sword arm was between yourself and him. Revolutionary France, however, overturned this practice as part of its sweeping social rethink. A change was carried out all over continental Europe by Napoleon.The reason it changed under Napoleon was because he was left handed his armies had to march on the right so he could keep his sword arm between him and any opponent. From then on, any part colonised by the French was right hand. After the American Revolutionary War(1775-1783), the US became independent and decided to make traffic drive on the right in order to cast off all remaining links with its British colonial past. Once America became the center of the car industry, if you wanted a good reliable vehicle, you bought American right-hand-drive cars. From then on many countries changed out of necessity. Today, the EU would like Britain to fall into line with the rest of Europe, but this is no longer possible. It would cost billions of pounds to change everything round. The last European country to convert to driving on the right was Sweden in 1967. While everyone was getting used to the new system, they paid more attention and took more care, resulting in a reduction of the number of road accidents.
32. Why did people travel on the left before the late 18th century? A. They were required to do so. B. They were mostly left-handed. C. It was easier to cross the street. D. They could feel safer from attacks.
33. What’s was Napoleon’s attitude to walking on the left? A. Support. B.Disapproval. C. Doubt. D. Sympathy. 34. For American, driving on the right was a way to show . A. the connection with France was broken B. the US was no longer ruled by the UK C. the American Revolution War had ended D. America was the center of the car industry
35. What is the main cause of the UK failing to adopt the new system? A. Its high costs to change. B. Its increasing traffic accidents. C. Its influence on colonies. D. Its fast-developing car industry.

根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Adolescent thinking tends to be focused on the present. But adolescents and teens are rapidly learning new skills related to complex reasoning, flexibility, and problem solving.
Remind yourself that it is normal for adolescents to have a sense of being invincible(无敌的), or have an \will never happen to me\mind. 36 As a result, it may cause dangerous behaviors.
The following are some ways you can help your adolescent develop reasoning skills:
● 37 You should make careful observations and ask direct questions. For example, if your child seems troubled by something, say \look like you've had a hard day,\or \look sad—do you want to talk?\
●Respond positively to your child's efforts and interests. Teens usually appreciate an adult's true concern and interest. When your child wants to do something that you think is dangerous, talk about the dangers of what he or she wants to do. Don't dismiss it. 38 Think about whether it would get in the way of your child's chores(杂事) or other duties. ●Help your child solve problems by discussing different choices. 39
●Develop higher thinking skills by talking to your adolescent about current issues and modern dilemmas. Be involved in schoolwork by talking to his or her teachers or volunteering at school. If asked, help solve difficult homework.
● 40 Talk about how rules will be performed. And be sure to follow through with the agreed-upon consequences when appropriate. Teenagers need and often want limits.
A. Set the rules in your home together. 3
B. Encourage your adolescent to share with you. 4
C. Try to persuade your adolescent to develop healthy habits.
D. Use learning exercises, such as role-play, for finding solutions to problems.2
E. If needed, work together to find something that would be safer and your child can also do. F. Setting a good example and talking openly about these issues have great influence on them.1 G. This way of thinking may limit their ability to consider situations, risks, and future consequences.5
