We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be    1   to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are   2   wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully(欺負) others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.
Rules can help the public make the right    3  ,and remain safe. Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent   4  .

Sons who have fond childhood memories of their fathers are more likely to be emotionally stable(穩(wěn)定的) in the face of day-to-day stresses, according to psychologists(心理學家) who studied hundreds of adults of all ages.
“As our study shows, fathers do play a unique(獨特的) and important role in the mental health of their children much later in life,” Psychology professor Melanie Mallers of California State University said.
For this study, 912 adult men and women between the ages of 25 and 74 completed short daily telephone interviews about that day’s experiences over an eight-day period. The interviews focused on the participants’ psychological and emotional distress (i.e., whether they were nervous, sad, etc.) and if they had experienced any stressful events that day.
The participants were also required to answer questions such as, “How would you rate your relationship with your mother during the years when you were growing up?” and “How much time and attention did your mother give you when you needed it?” The same questions were asked about fathers.
People who reported they had a good mother-child relationship reported three percent less psychological distress(憂慮) compared to those who reported a poor relationship, according to Mallers.
Men who reported having a good relationship with their father during childhood were more likely to be less emotional when reacting to stressful events in their current daily lives than those who had a poor relationship, according to her findings.
Also, the quality of mother and father relationships was significantly associated(有關) with how many stressful events the participants faced on a daily basis. In other words, if they had a poor childhood relationship with both parents, they reported more stressful incidents over the eight-day study when compared to those who had a good relationship with their parents.
Mallers theorized why healthy or unhealthy relationships may have an effect on how people handle stress as adults. “Perhaps having caring parents equips children with the experiences and skills necessary to more successfully navigate(導航) their relationships with other people throughout childhood and into adulthood.” She said.
【小題1】What can we know about the recent study from the passage?
A It was led by Melanie Mallers.
B 912 adults who were over twenty-five joined in it.
C It lasted as long as eight days.
D It was funded just by California State University.
【小題2】Which of the following may the participants be asked about in telephone interviews?
A Their physical condition.      B Their parenting(育兒) skills.
C Their emotional distress and stressful events.
D Their childhood relationships with teachers.
【小題3】Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A Many people with good parent-child relationships still can’t keep emotionally stable in stressful incidents.
B Men with a good mother-child relationship were more likely to be emotionally stable when reacting to stressful events.
C Women were better at getting along with their parents than men when they were young.
D People with good childhood relationships with parents suffered(遭受) fewer stressful incidents.
【小題4】What can be concluded from the findings of the study?
A Childhood memories of parents have a lasting effect on one’s ability to handle stress.
B Adults with good childhood relationships with parents will live happily and successfully.
C The mother-child relationship is more important than the father-child relationship.
D The quality of parent-child relationships determines(決定) how people handle stress as adults.

What’s your idea of a good time? What about dancing in a rainy field with one hundred and fifty thousand other people while a famous rock band plays on a stage so far away that the performers look like ants?
It may sound strange but that is what many hundreds of thousands of young people in the UK do every summer.Why? Because summer is the time for outdoor music festivals.
Held on a farm, the Glastonbury Festival is the most well-known and popular festival in the UK.It began in 1970 and the first festival was attended by one thousand five hundred people each paying an admission price of £1 — the ticket included free milk from the farm.
Since then the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength — in 2004 one hundred and fifty thousand fans attended, paying £112 each for a ticket to the three-day event.Tickets for the event sold out within three hours.Performers included superstars, such as Paul McCartney and James Brown, as well as new talent, like Franz Ferdinand and Joss Stone.
Although many summer festivals are run on a profit-making basis, Glastonbury is a charity event, donating millions of pounds to local and international charities.
Glastonbury is not unique(獨特的) in using live music to raise money to fight global poverty.In July of this year, the Live 8 concerts were held simultaneously (同時) in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin.Superstars such as Madonna, Sir Elton John and Stevie Wonder performed in order to highlight international poverty and debt.
【小題1】 What does the author mean by saying “the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength”?

A.The festival has achieved growing success.
B.Great efforts have been made to hold the festival.
C.The festival has brought in a large amount of money.
D.There have been thousands of fans attending the festival.
【小題2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The Glastonbury Festival is run on a profit-making basis.
B.Tickets for the 2004 Glastonbury Festival were in great demand despite the high price.
C.Both James Brown and Joss Stone were born in poor families.
D.In the 1970 Glastonbury Festival, one could have lunch on the farm for free.
【小題3】We can learn from the last paragraph that _____.
A.the Glastonbury Festival is not so popular as the Live 8 concerts
B.the Live 8 concerts are held every year in London
C.London, Paris, Rome and Berlin are famous for outdoor music festivals
D.some superstars are concerned about global poverty
