Passage 1
文体：议论文词数：362 限时：8分钟How can you help kids cope with stress? Proper rest and good nutrition can improve coping skills, so can good parenting. Make time for your kids each day. Whether they need to talk with you or just be in the same room with you, make yourself available.
Even as kids get older, quality time is important. It’s really hard for some people to come home after a tiring day of work, get down on the floor, and play with their kids or just talk to them about their day—especially if they’ve had a stressful day themselves. But expressing interest in your kids shows that they’re important to you.
Help your child deal with stress by talking about what may be causing it. Together, you can come up with a few solutions. For example, he should cut back on after-school activities, spending more time talking with his parents or teachers, developing an exercise plan or keeping a journal.
You can also help by predicting potentially stressful situations and preparing kids for them. For example, let a child know ahead of time, but not too far ahead of time, that a doctor’s appointment is coming up and
talk about what will happen there. Keep in mind, though, that younger kids probably won’t need too much advance preparat ion. Too much information can cause more stress.
Remember that some level of stress is normal. Let kids know that it’s OK to feel angry, scared, lonely, or anxious and that other people share those feelings, too.
When kids can’t or won’t discuss these pr oblems, try talking about your own concerns. This shows that you’re willing to handle tough topics and are available to talk with when they’re ready. If a child shows symptoms that concern you and is unwilling to talk, consult a counselor(顾问) or other mental health experts.
Most parents have the skills to cope with their children’s stress. The time to seek professional attention is when any change in behavior continues to exist, when stress is causing serious anxiety, or when the behavior is causing significant problems in functioning at school or at home.

Passage 2
文体：议论文词数：358 限时：8分钟“When I grow up, I want to be…”Almost all of us have thought about, or been asked to think about, our future careers. Our answers may
differ greatly. Even now your aspirations may have changed from when you were in primary school.
However, it seems caree r options aren’t only based on personal taste. In a survey carried out by teens, doctors, lawyers, and bankers were some of most popular careers that people said they hoped to follow. This is in line with a similar survey carried out in the U.K. in May 2011 by job website https://www.doczj.com/doc/fc1496168.html,, in which medicine was the top choice among U.K. teenagers aged between 13 and 17.
Medicine and law are two of the oldest and best known professions. Their prestige(威望) may come from the fact that doctors and lawyers are some of the most esteemed members of society, and they make good money. Joining these high-profile professions is often seen as a sign of upward social mobility.
It is equally unsurprising that banking is now one of the most common career choices. Youngsters worldwide think of banking and see the money rolling in. Wealth is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators of a successful career. British young men list the U.K. tycoon Alan Sugar, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Facebook chief Mark Z uckerberg as their top role models “for their wealth”. Just as Chinese teenagers see being a banker as a good and fun pathway to “wealth”. However, not every child has the makings of doctor, lawyer, or banker. They are those who see fulfillment and happiness in other areas,
and many teenagers dare to ink more individuality into their career options. As the Teens’ survey discovered, a variety of unconventional jobs—coffee shop owner, gourmet(美食家), waiter at a fast food restaurant—are among teenagers’ career choices. They can be equally interesting and rewarding jobs. With every choice comes responsibility and challenge, and all career paths require specific education and training, you have to learn to balance optimism and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills.
1.What is the top career choice among U.K. teenagers aged between 13 and 17 according to the article?
A.Bank.

2.What do youngsters think is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators of a successful career?
A.Prestige.

D.Wealth.
3.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.According to your particular talents and skills, you can choose your favorite career.
B.Specific education and training can help get a good job.
C.Whatever career you choose, you should balance optimism and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills.

Passage 3
文体：议论文词数：233 限时：6分钟
Nowadays more and more traditional businessmen feel worried that growing e-commerce will decrease their share of the market.
According to a survey, 90％of some people’s purchases are made on the computer. As they find that by being able to go shopping online and choose the things that they need, and have them delivered right to their doorsteps, they could no longer be bothered with driving, the crowds, the noise of that, and they usually get a better selection. But sometimes they are cheated only to get the things they hate.
Cornell University Marketing Professor Edward McLaughlin says traditional stores can keep their customers by offering goods like clothing, which customers may want to see and try on before purchasing, as well as items that are difficult to transport. He says some traditional stores are also pleasing customers with services such as setting up or repairing computers and other electronic equipment.
Traditional stores also offer social experiences that some shoppers enjoy. There is still a lot of emotion in the buying decision that takes
place. Oftentimes, you need that last sense of “this is exactly what I want” before you part with money. And you can’t always get that online. It’s a rather cold process.
As more and more people have Internet access and smart phones, online commerce is likely to continue its growth here in the United States and in other countries.
1.Traditional businessmen feel upset because ______.
A.people like to have their goods taken good care of
B.growing online sales will seize their share of the market
C.more and more young people purchase things on the computer
D.consumers can always get a better selection by shopping online
2.According to McLaughlin, some traditional stores are keeping customers by ______.
A.giving customers electronic toys as presents
B.making their goods better and cheaper
C.delivering goods to each doorstep
D.providing customers with extra services
3.From the fourth paragraph, we know that ______.
A.online shoppers tend to be friendly to each other
B.the process of shopping online is full of emotion
C.making buying decisions in traditional shops is difficult
D.some shoppers like the social environment in traditional stores
4.What is the author’s attitude toward the future online commerce?
A.Optimistic.
B.Doubtful.
C.Worried.
D.Concerned.
