There are 4 tasks for you to fulfill.You should read the reading materials carefully and choose the best answer.AParents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends. Is this a good thing? Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.“I would never have said to my mom, …Hey, the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like it?‟” says Ballmer. “There was just a complete gap in taste.”Music was not the only gulf. From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago. Now they are comfortable and common. And parent—child activities, from shopping to sports, involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue int0 adulthood.No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, “To my mother, my best friend.”But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents. “There‟s still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening,” says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College. “In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents.”Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say.“My parents were on the …before‟side of that change, but today‟s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the …after‟ side,” explains Mr. Ballmer. “It‟s not something easily accomplished by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharinginterests does make it more fun to be a parent now.”1. The underlined word gulf in Para.3 most probably means _______.A. interestB. distanceC. differenceD. separation2. Which of the following shows that the generation gap is disappearing?A. Parents help their children develop interests in more activities.B. Parents put more trust in their children’s abilities.C. Parents and children talk more about sex and drugs.D. Parents share more interests with their children.3. The change in today’s parent-child relationship is _______.A. more confusion among parentsB. new equality between parents and childrenC.1ess respect for parents from childrenD. more strictness and authority on the part of parents4. By saying “today’s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the ‘after’ side.” the authormeans that today’s parents _______.A. follow the trend of the changeB. can set a limit to the changeC. fail to take the change seriouslyD. have little difficulty adjusting to the change5. The purpose of the passage is to _______.A. describe the difficulties today’s parents have met withB. discuss the development of the parent—child relationshipC. suggest the ways to handle the parent—child relationshipD. compare today’s parent—child relationship with that in the pastBSometimes you‟ll hear people say that you can‟t love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you‟ll hear people say that you can‟t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you‟ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we‟re the apple of our parents‟ eyes, and that our Grandmas think we‟re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics. but sometimes it‟s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.Self-image is your own mind‟s picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about US. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don‟t allow doubts to occur in it.It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can‟t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you‟re silly because you aren‟t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you‟re weak because you can‟t run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you‟re dull because you don‟t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn‟t mean it‟s true.The best way to get rid of a negative serf-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat(拍) yourself on the back, you‟ll know you‟re well on your way. Good luck!6. You need to build a positive self-image when you _______.A. dare to challenge yourselfB. feel it hard to change yourselfC. are unconfident about yourselfD. have a high opinion of yourself7. According to the passage, our serf-images ________.A. have positive effectsB. are probably untrueC. are often changeableD. have different functions8. How should you change your serf-image according to the passage? _______A. To keep a different image of others.B. To make your life successful.C. To understand your own world.D. To change the way you think.9. What is the passage mainly about? _______A. How to prepare for your success.B. How to face challenges in your life.C. How to build a positive self-image.D. How to develop your good qualities.10. Who are the intended readers of the passage? _______A. Parents.B. Adolescents.C. Educators.D. People in general.CIt had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. College, carrier, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of the dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.Over the phone, his mother told him, “Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday.”Memories fleshed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.“Jack, did you hear me?”“Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It‟s been so long since I thought of him. I‟m sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago,” Jack said.“Well, he didn‟t forget you. Every time I saw him he‟d ask how you were doing. He‟d reminisce (回忆) about the many days you spent over …his side of the fence‟ as he put it, ” Mom told him.“I loved that old house he lived in,” Jack said.“You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man‟s influence in your life,” she said.“He‟s the one who taught me carpentry. I wouldn‟t be in this business if it weren‟t for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important. Mom, I‟ll be there for the funeral.” Jack said.Busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser‟s funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time, which was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture .Jack stopped suddenly.。
