Being Authoritative （由权威的） ParentsPhrases like"tiger mom"and‘‘helicopter parent"have made their way into everyday language．Many of us find ourselves drawn to the idea that with just a bit more parental hard work and effort，we might turn out children with bright futures．But is there anything wrong with a kind of"overparenting style"？Parental involvement has a long history of being studied．Many of the studies，conducted by Diana Baumrind，a famous psychologist at the University of California，Berkeley，have found that a good parent is the one who is involved and reacts to her child in a positive way，who sets high expectations but gives her child independence．These"authoritative parents"appear to hit the sweet spot of parental involvement and generally raise children who do better academically，psychologically and socially than children whose parents are not strict and less involved，or controlling and more involved．Why is this parenting style so successful？Authoritative parents actually help improve motivation in their children．Carol Dweck，a social psychologist at Stanford University，has done research that indicates why authoritative parents raise more motivated children．In a typical experiment，Dr．Dweck takes young children into a room and asks them to solve a simple puzzle．Most do so with little difficulty．But then Dr．Dweck tells some，but not all，of the kids how clever they are．As it turns out，the children who are not told they're smart are more motivated to solve increasingly difficult puzzles．They also show higher levels of confidence and show greater progress in puzzle-solving．As the experiment suggests，praising children's talents and abilities seems to shake their confidence．Dealing with more difficult puzzles carries the risk of losing one's status as"smart"．Dr．Dweck's work strongly supports that of Dr．Baumrind，who also found that reasonably supporting a child's independence and limiting interference （干涉） causes better academic and emotional results．The central task of growing up is to develop a sense of self that is independent and confident．If you treat your young child who is just learning to walk as if she can't walk，you reduce her confidence．Allowing children to make mistakes is one of the greatest challenges of parenting．It is easier when they are young．The potential mistakes carry greater risks，and part of being a parent is reducing risk for our children．67．According to the passage，a"tiger mom" ____ ．A．helps her children realize their dreamsB．speaks her children's everyday languageC．places reasonable expectations on her childrenD．pays close attention to her children's experiences68．It is implied that controlling style of parenting may ____ ．A．face more challenges of childrenB．foster independence in childrenC．cause more problems in childrenD．lead to children's academic success69．The example of the children doing the puzzles suggests that ____ ．A．a good game plays a big role in training young mindsB．overpraising makes children less motivated and confidentC．puzzle-solving can give children the motivation they needD．bright children usually show less confidence in difficult games70．The last paragraph tells us that ____ ．A．children should not be given much freedomB．parents should not increase the risk of challengingC．parents should allow their children to learn from mistakesD．children should correct mistakes with the help of their parents．

Bad eyesight forced him to abandon his plans to attend university, so he had to choose a new course for his life. As a boy in Hartford, Connecticut, he had always admired natural beauty. So, instead of studying academics, he decided to focus on engineering and farming. In the 1850s, he ended up in charge of creating Central Park in New York City.Olmsted and a partner entered a design contest for a new park and won with a design patterned after gardens and natural landscapes that Olmsted had seen and admired around the world. To create the new park, they removed nearly 5 million cubic yards of dirt, blew up rock with 260 tons of gunpowder, and planted 270,000 trees and shrubs. In 1864, New Yorkers could have walks along wooded paths, paddle a boat around the lake, or people-watch from the hills. Today, many people cannot imagine New York City without its Central Park.Maybe it was watching those people enjoy his creation that inspired Olmsted. He became one of the first members of designing committee of Yosemite National Park because he was determined to protect its breathtaking beauty. He did the same for Niagara Falls and helped turn it into a public reserve. Working well into his seventies, Olmsted designed more parks and even an entire Chicago suburb (郊区), Riverside. And to think that bad eyesight led him to create such beautiful places!54. Which of the following shows what Olmsted did in time order?a. He studied engineering and farming. b. He took charge of creating Central Park.c. He gave up his plans to go to university. d. He took part in the designing of Yosemite National Park.e. He designed a Chicago suburb.A. a-c-b-d-e B. a-c-d-e-b C. c-a-b-d-e D. c-a-e-b-d55. Which statement would Frederick Law Olmsted agree to?A. It is not necessary for young people to go to university.B. Money provided for public parks should be reduced.C. Beauty of the natural land should be protected.D. It is a waste of time entering design contests.56. We can infer from the passage that ______.A. Olmsted designed the breathtaking Niagara FallsB. Olmsted traveled a lot before designing Central ParkC. Olmsted’s poor eyesight contributed to his great creationsD. Olmsted majored in engineering and farming in universityD Train-spottingMany people around the world have seen Danny Boyle’s movie Trainspotting starring Ewan McGregor, but how many of us really know what train-spotting is all about? Now this is not considered cool in town and the word “train-spotter” in Britain is related to “geek” or “nerd” (someone who seems very ridiculous). But is this reputation really deserved?First of all, let’s see what train spotting is. It is said that there are some 100,000 train spotters in the UK. Exactly as the title suggests, they spot trains, that is, they stand in train stations, look at the number of each train that leaves and arrives and write it down. The eventual aim is to have seen every train in the country.Being crazy about railways and trains is not modern and it dates back to 1804. As the number of trains grew and they got faster and faster, so did the interest in them grow. Is this any stranger than people who love cars?So, what do you need to be a train-spotter? Well, all you really need is a pen or pencil and a notebook to write down the train numbers. Other equipment includes hot tea in a thermos, a camera and some sandwiches for those long afternoons spent on train platforms when you don’t want to risk the delights of railway station food.It’s interesting to note that despite the “bad name” of train-spotting, there have been famous railway lovers in history, such as Alfred Hitchcock, who filmed them regularly, especially The 39 Steps. There is evidence, too, that being a train-spotter is not necessarily a strange phenomenon in Britain.One glance at the US train stations should be enough to convince you that train-spotters there are alive and well. In America, they try to call rail lovers “train-fans” and talk of “train-fanning”. Don’t let this fool you—these people are train spotters and there are a lot of them. Each month, two million pages are visited on the website 57. According to the author, what is train-spotting?A. A way of pastime. B. A type of sport.C. A strange phenomenon. D. A mental problem.58. What do train-spotters usually do?A. They keep a careful track of every train. B. They number each railway engine they view.C. They count the trains passing in front of them. D. They produce films about trains with video cameras.59. The author writes the article to ______.A. introduce some famous train-spotters B. encourage readers to do more train-spottingC. try to present a true picture of train-spotting D. describe the necessary equipment in train-spotting60. What do we learn from the passage?A. Train-spotters are much stranger than car lovers. B. Train-spotting relates to a dangerous lifestyle.C. Train-spotters in the UK tend to fool people. D. Train-spotting is more tolerated in America.
Today, more mothers work outside the home than ever before. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the percentage of mothers who worked outside the home with children under the age of 18 has risen from 45 percent in 1975 to nearly 71 percent by 2012. Despite the rising number of working mothers in the workforce, however, they still face tremendous challenges including the limited availability of daycare and frequent discrimination by employers. Working mothers typically earn less than women without children, even when other factors such as education and work commitment are taken into account. What can we learn from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics?A. Less women under 18 are in the workplace than before.B. More mothers with kids work outside home than before.C. More people now work outside of home than before.D. Few mothers worked outside of home in the year 1975.

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.

question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour.
