AI believe I‟ve gotten this more t han once. One lady told me she thought I was 12 and even told her 14-year-old daughter the same. I saw lots of surprised faces because people were told I was actually 19 years old.I‟m actually 19 years old, which isn‟t much of a problem. I‟m like the olde st of my friends and the shortest, which is pretty funny. That‟s probably one of the reasons I fit in so well with them.I volunteered at a weekend school teaching young children. Parents always looked me up and down like “why is this 13-year-old girl teaching my child.” I guessed it was because I‟m also petite(娇小), and I didn‟t know w hether I had a childish face. Sometimes I found it funny, sometimes I found it annoying. But I just shrugged(耸肩)it off at last. You know, soon enough people got to know me and then realized I was not actually a 13-year-old girl.This short thing used to be a problem for me, though. I was very small when I was younger, so kids would pick on me. When I was 12, 8-year-old girls would look down at me like “I CAN‟T BELIEVE YOU‟RE TWELVE!” I had always wanted to be tall. But now that I‟m older, I got used to it, and I actually love it. You know, I‟m fun sized!21. How old is the writer now?A. 12B. 13C. 14D. 1922. Which of the following words CAN‟T be used to describe the writer?A. shortB. petiteC. childishD. tall23. How does the writer feel when others say she is 12?A. Not surprisedB. AnnoyingC. AngryD. SadBParents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut,” Joanna noted.Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to sit in my arms on the sofa and talk with me,” said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady.”Before age 11, children li ke to tell their parents what‟s on their minds. “In fact, parents are first on the list,” said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the teen years,” said Riera explained. “They talk to their fr iends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”Parents who know what‟s going on in their teenager‟s lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.24. The underlined part in the 1st paragraph “The door to his room is always shut” suggests that the son _______.A. keeps himself away from his parentsB. doesn‟t want to be disturbedC. is always busy with his studiesD. begins to dislike his parents25. What troubles Tina and Mark most is that _______.A. their daughter isn‟t as lovely as beforeB. their daughter talks with them only when needing helpC. they don‟t know what to say to their daughterD. they can‟t read their daughter‟s mind exactly26. Which of the following best explains “the wall of silence” in the last paragraph?A. Teenagers talk a lot with their friends.B. Teenagers don‟t want to understand their pare nts.C. Teenagers talk little about their own lives.D. Teenagers don‟t talk much with their parents.27. What can be learned from the passage?A. Parents are unhappy with their growing children.B. Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers.C. Parents should try to understand their teenagers.D. Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers.CWhen you enter a supermarket, you see shelves full of food. You walk between the shelves. You carry a shopping basket with your food in it.You probably hear soft, slow music as you walk between the shelves. If you hear fast music, you walk quickly. The supermarket plays slow music. You walk slowly and have more time to buy things.Maybe you go to the meat department first. There is some meat on sale, and you want to find it. The manager of the supermarket knows where customers enter the meat department. The cheaper meat is at the other end of the meat department, away from where the customers enter. You have to walk by all the expensive meat before you find the cheaper meat. Maybe you will buy some of the expensive meat instead of the meat on sale.The department selling milk and milk products such as butter and milk powder is called the dairy department. Many customers like milk that has only a little butter fat in it. One store has three different jars of low fat milk. One says “1 percent fat” on the jar. The second says “99 percent fat free”, the third says “Low fat” in big letters and “1%”in small letters. As you can see, all the milk has the same amount of fat. The milk is all the same. However, in this store the three jars of milk cost three different amounts of money.Maybe the customers will buy the milk that costs the most.Most of the food in supermarkets is very pleasing. It all says “Buy me!” to the customers. The expensive meat says “Buy me” as you walk by. The expensive milk jar says “Buy me! I have less fat.”28. The manager of the supermarket knows _________.A. which customers like low fat milkB. which customers like slow musicC. where customers enter the meat departmentD. where customers come from29. When you walk by the expensive meat, maybe you will _________.A. buy someB. try to find fresh fruitsC. look for low fat milkD. just walk on30. There are three different jars of low fat milk and _________.A. one has more fat than the other twoB. they are almost the same amount of moneyC. one has less fat than the othersD. they all have the same amount of fat31. Supermarket managers make the food pleasing so that _________.A. there will be more buyersB. buyers will be proudC. it is good and expensiveD. they can raise the pricesDScientists have tried to come up with biological explanations for the difference between boys and girls.However, none were believable enough to explain the general picture. As one scientist points out, “There are slight genetic(遗传的) differences between the sexes at birth which may affect the subjects boys and girls choose. But the difficulty is that by the time children reach school age, there are so many other effects that it is almost impossible to tell whether girls are worse at science and maths, or whether they‟ve been brought up to think of the se subjects as boys‟territory”.Statistics(统计数据) show that in mathematics, at least, girls are equal to boys. A recent report suggests that girls only stop studying mathematics because of social attitud es. One of the reports‟ authors says, “While it is socially unacceptable for people not to be able to read and write, it is still acceptable for women to say that they are …hope-less‟ at maths. Our research shows that, although girls get marks which are as good as the boys‟, they have not been encouraged to do so.”The explanation for the difference, which is very clear during the teenage years, goes as far back as early childhood experiences. From their first days in nursery school, girls are not encouraged to work on their own or to complete tasks, although boys are. For example, boys but not girls, are often asked to 'help' with repair work. This encouragement leads to a way of learning how to solve problems later on in life. Evidence shows that exceptional mathematicians and scientists did not have teachers who supplied answers; they had to find out for themselves. A further report on maths teaching shows that teachers seem to give more attention to boys than to girls. Most teachers who took part in the study admitted that they expect their male students to do better at mathematics and science subjects than their female students. All of this tends to encourage boys to work harder in these subjects, gives them confidence and makes them believe that they can succeed.Interestingly, both boys and girls tend to regard such …male‟ subjects like mathematics and science as difficult. Yet it has been suggested that girls avoid mathematics courses, not because they are difficult, but for social reasons.Mathematics and science are mainly male subjects, and therefore, as girls become teenagers, they are less likely to take them up. Girls do not seem to want to be in open competition with boys. Neither do they want to do better than boys because they are afraid to appear less female and so, less attractive.32. The underlined word “territory” in the second paragraph mo st probably means “”.A. interestB. area of landC. special fieldD. district33. According to scientific studies, .A. maths is not fit for girls to learnB. boys have a special sense of mathsC. girls are poorer at maths because they are the weaker sexD. girls can learn maths as well as boys if given enough encouragement34. Those who made extraordinary contribution in mathematics and science .A. usually had good teachers to help themB. had the abilities to solve problems by themselvesC. usually worked harder than othersD. were encouraged to repair things when young35. What would be the best title for the text?A. Who‟s A fraid of Maths Anyway?B. Are Boys Cleverer than Girls?C. Boys Are Better at Maths than Girls by BirthD.
