I want to tell my parents where Im going, but what if I ask and they say“no”? Ill end up wishing I never mentioned it and just went ahead and did it anyway.If you want permission, its best to build a track record of honesty and trust. Letting a parent know where youre going is always a good idea.You may worry that telling your parents puts you at risk of getting “no” for an answer. But theres a good chance your parents might be OK with you going. If you go but dont tell them, you risk losing something more important your parents trust.Parents who find out their kids did something behind their backs may be less likely to give permission to do things in the future. When trust is broken like this, parents wonder if teens are trying to hide something and what they imagine can be far worse than the reality.Before you talk to your parents about the game, think about which approach will help them feel most fortable with giving you more freedom. Maybe theyd like to meet the person driving or talk to friends who have driven with her in the past. If your parents have questions or hesitate about letting you go, find out what their worries are and then do your best to answer them.4. From Paragraph 1 we know that the writer _.A. appears nervous B. looks worriedC. feels confused D. seems discouraged5. What is the best way to get parents permission according to the passage?A. To get more attention from them.B. To risk gaining their permission.C. To keep off the track of reality.D. To be honest and win their trust.6. What does the writer really want to tell us?A.

Friends. C. Drivers. D. Teenagers.C Career success could be predicted as early as kindergarten, according to a 20-year study recently published in the American Journal of Public Health. Researchers from Pennsylvania State University and Duke University tracked more than 700 children from across the US between kindergarten and age 25 and found a significant correlation（相关性） between their social skills as kindergartners and their success as adults two decades later. In 1991, teachers assessed how the kindergartners interacted with each other socially using a range of criteria like whether they cooperate with their peers without prompting（激励）, if theyre helpful to others, whether theyre good at understanding feelings, and if they can solve problems on their own. Researchers then kept track of whether the students went on to graduate high school on time, get a college degree, and find and keep a full-time job by 25. They also monitored the participants involvement with crime, drug abuse, public assistance, and mental health issues. The results showed that socially petent children were far more likely to earn a college degree and have a full-time job by 25 than those with limited social skills. Those with limited social skills also had a higher chance of getting arrested, binge（放纵） drinking, and applying for public housing. “This study shows that helping children develop social and emotional skills is one of the most important things we can do to prepare them for a healthy future, said Kristin Schubert, program director at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which funded the research, in a release.“From an early age, these skills can determine whether a child goes to college or prison, and whether they end up employed or addicted. The good news, according to Damon Jones, lead author of the study, is that intervention（干预） at a young age can help improve social and emotional skills. “This research by itself doesnt prove that higher social petence can lead to better outes later on, he said. “But when bined with other research, it is clear that helping children develop these skills increases their chances of success in school, work, and life.8. What has the 20-year study found? A. Most kindergartners can solve problems alone. B. Helpful children understand others feeling better. C. Outgoing children cooperate with their peers easily. D. Social skills play a key role in childrens development.9. Paragraph 3 and 4 are mainly about？A. when the researchers began their studyB. how long it took to plete the studyC. how the researchers conducted the studyD. what factors were studied by the experts10.What should parents do to help their children to succeed according to Kristin Schubert?A. Teach them how to cooperate with others.B. Teach them some basic living skills.C. Tell them to keep off alcohol.D. Coach them in their lessons.11. The text makes very good sense to _.A. teenagers B. educators C. doctors D. general readersDWhat about your performance at todays class？Are you active enough to focus on the lessons? Nowadays it is mon to see students laziness and poor efficiency at class. And that is why schools across the world are trying to e up with solutions to keep students active. Some are replacing traditional classroom chairs with exercise balls or standing desks. At Ward Elementary School in Winston, North Carolina students have adopted a new program that requires riding fixed bikes while reading.Read and Ride is the creation of school counselor Scott Ertl, who came up with the idea while he was exercising and reading at the gym. Believing it would be a fun way to convince students to bee more active, he placed one in the corner of his classroom and encouraged them to use it during independent reading classes.It was so popular that Ertl decided to add more bikes and offer the Read and Ride program to the entire school. Today Ward Elementary has a dedicated exercise room filled with bikes that can be used by students while pleting their daily reading assignments.Besides making reading more fun, the program also helps students exercise at a fortable pace without the pressure that es with regular sports-related activities. It is also a perfect way to release energy during days when the weather is not helpful to outdoor activities. What is more important, however, are the programs academic benefits. A year after Read and Ride was introduced at Ward Elementary School, students actively involved in the program demonstrated anastonishing83% reading proficiency. Those who had not taken advantage of the exercise bikes tested at a much lower, 41%. Of course there are many other programs which have got good results as Read and Ride. Though the substantial improvement in academic achievement cannot all be attributed to programs like Read and Ride, experts believe they are a significant contributor. Thats because studies have shown that physical activity stimulates（刺激）brain cells and helps prepare it for learning. So dont be surprised to find more schools across the country will adopt “Read and Ride” for their students.12. What is the new program at Ward Elementary School?A. Kids excise balls in the classroom.B. Kids ride bikes when they are reading.C. Kids attend reading classes at the gym.D. Kids stand on the desks while reading.13. How do the students at Ward Elementary School benefit from the program?A. They exercise with high pressure. B. They bee more active in sports.C. They feel reading fun and learn better. D. They bee more independent in reading.14. Which of the following is the closest in the meaning to the underlined phrase in the last paragraph?A. be due to B. be occupied with C. be devoted to D. be addicted to15. What is the authors attitude towards this program?A. Neutral. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Positive.II 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 特别提示：若某题选E项，则在答题卡相应的位置上同时涂黑A与B；若选F项, 则同时涂黑C与D； 若选G项, 则同时涂黑A与DThey Just Cant Help ItMy theory is that the female brain is mainly built for empathy the ability to understand other people and that the male brain is mainly built for building systems. _16_ For example, women are more likely to read magazines on fashion and parenting, while men will choose magazines that feature puters and sport.You may think that these preferences are influenced by the way people are taught to behave when they are growing up. However, this is not the case. A new study carried out at Cambridge University shows that newborn girls look longer at a face, and newborn boys look longer at a mobile. _17_ It has also been observed (that girls are better at noticing signs of changes in other peoples feelings. Boys, however, seem to enjoy building toy towers and playing with toys which have clear functions. _18_ People whose jobs are in the construction industries are almost male. Math and engineering, which require high levels of systems-thinking, are also male-chosen disciplines. Why do men and women have the difference? Actually women have four times as many brain neurons (神经) that connect the right and left part of their brains. Because of it, women have a better ability to multitask than men. _19_ Men tend to focus on a limited number of problems at a time. They will separate themselves from problems and view tasks as independent from one another.Some people may worry that I am suggesting one gender (性别) is better than the other, but this is not the case. My theory says that males and females differ in the kinds of things that they find easy, but that both genders have their strengths and weaknesses. _20_ It is not true. The study simply looks at males and females as two groups, and asks what differences exist, and why they are there.A. Generally speaking, there are clear differences.B. Their preference for building systems may change over time.C. You can see the same kind of pattern in the adult workplace.D. They will consider many sources of information at the same time.E. It is important to stress that the female brain may be built more for empathy.F. That suggests certain differences between male and female brains are biological.G. Others may think the theory creates a belief of what a particular type of person is like.III. 完形填空（共20小题；每小题l.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Long long ago, a wise man who lived a simple life in a village was famous throughout the country.
