They believe that their family members, especially their parents, dont know them as well their friends do. In large families, it is often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice. It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or many friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very important in childrens growing up, because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members.However, parents often try to choose their childrens friends for them. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. The question of “choice” is an interesting one. Have you ever thought of the following questions?Who choose your friends?Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you?Have you got a good friend your parent dont like?21.Many teenagers think their _ know them better than their parents do. A. friends B.teachers C. brothers and sisters D.classmates22.When teenagers stay alone, the usual way of communication is to _.A. go to their friends B. talk with their parentsC. have a discussion with their family D. talk with their friends on the phone23.Which of the following is DIFFERENT in meaning from the sentence “Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends.”?A. Some parents may even not allow their children to meet their good friends.B. Some parents may even ask their children to stay away from their good friends.C. Some parents may even not let their children meet their good friends.D. Some parents may want their children to meet their good friends.24. Which of the following sentences is TRUE?A. Parents should like everything their children enjoy.B. In all families, children can choose everything they like.C. Parents should try their best to understand their children better.D. Teenagers can only go to their friends for help.25. The main idea of this passage is that _. A. Teenagers need friends B. Friends can give good advice C. Parents often choose their childrens friends for them D. Good friends can communicate with each other B If you want to get the most out of the study of a language, you must also read for pleasure: novels, plays, travel books, and so on. And in reading books of this kind the important thing is to get on with the reading; to try to grasp what the writer is going to tell you in the book as a whole. This is impossible if you stop and think over the meaning of every single word which happens to be unfamiliar(不熟悉). You can not enjoy a story if you stop half a dozen times on every page in order to look up words in the dictionary. You may even prevent yourself from understanding the story as a whole by doing this. When you are reading books of this kind, therefore, you will usually have to rely mainly on the context to help you. If you meet an unfamiliar word, do not let it take too much of your attention from the main thread of the story. In all probability you will meet the same word again a few pages later on in a slightly different context, and each time you see it that your understanding of it will become more exact.26The phrase “to get on with reading” in the passage has the same meaning as “_”.Ato try to grasp the meaning of every sentence in the bookBto try to catch the meaning of every word in the bookCto try to understand all the writer is going to tell youDto try to understand the main idea of the book27When you meet new words in reading such kinds of books, youd better _.Astop and look them up in a dictionary Bstop and think them overCtry to guess their meanings from the context Dhave none of them28From the passage the best way to read novels, plays and travel books is _.Ato read very slowly Bto read quickly and not too carefullyCto read very carefully Dto read very seriously29The best title for this passage is “_”.A. Read for Pleasure BGet on with the BooksCReading Skills DThe Importance of ReadingCHere are some advertisements taken from a newspaper.(1)Dear Drew Carter, Your first year on this earth has been a pleasure ride for all of us.

Lawlis and Clarke D Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends. My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult(成年人) I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight As and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard. On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my fathers friends for lunch at an outdoor caf. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my sons funny facial expressions. Gone was my fathers critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before? The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, Im at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, Im delighted with my new friend. My dad in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.33. Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult?A. He was silent most of the time B. He was too proud of himself C. He did not love his children D. He expected too much of her34. When the author went out with her father on weekends, she would feel _.A. nervous B. sorry C. tired D. safe35. What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tueson? A. More critical B.
