【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
The average（平均的）American child spends three to five hours a day watching TV. In 1961, the average child began to watch television at age three; however, today it is nine months. Yet, most parents think that television has bad influence on their children. For example, in the early 1970s, my parents believed that my bad eyesight was the result of sitting too close to the screen, and they therefore made my stay at least six feet from it. Today, most people have no such worry, but many new ridiculous (荒謬的) sayings have appeared:
*TV makes kids stupid. Many children watch more educational programs when they are pre-schoolers. When they grow up, they can read more books and have much better ideas to solve difficult problems than other children.
*TV makes kids violent. The real story is not so simple. Hundreds of studies show that watching violence on TV makes children more aggressive (好斗的). But a study of over 5,000 children also finds that some positive programs make children kinder. The problem is that kids are increasingly watching shows with violence instead of those suitable for their age.
*Sitting around watching TV makes kids overweight. An experiment finds that when children watch less television, they do lose extra weight; however, reducing their television time does not make them more active. The real problem lies in snacking (吃零食). A widespread habit for kids, and junk-food advertisements.
*TV helps kids get to sleep. The opposite is true. The more television children watch, the more likely they are to have irregular sleep and nap (小睡) patterns. Allowing kids to watch television is part of the problem, not the solution.
（1）Which one is the advantage of educational TV programs?
A.They will make children solve difficult problems better than others.
B.they will improve children's ability to get along with others.
C.They are likely to make children more aggressive.
D.They will make sure of children's success in the future.
（2）Why are children spending much time watching TV likely to be fat?
A.Watching TV makes children lazy and inactive.
B.Children are attracted by the food advertisement on TV.
C.Watching TV doesn't burn up as much fat as doing sports.
D.Children like to snack while watching TV.
（3）What influence does watching TV have on a child's sleep?
A.Children are likely to sleep deeper after watching TV.
B.Children's sleep time will be greatly reduced.
C.It will make children form a bad habit of sleeping.
D.It will make children sleep easier.
（4）What is the purpose of this text?
A.To increase people's knowledge of watching TV.
B.To warn parents of the disadvantages of watching TV.
C.To explain the bad influences that watching TV has on children.
D.To correct parents' wrong ideas of television's effect on children.

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
A new book called “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother” by Amy Chua has caused a debate (爭論) about cultural differences in parenting. Amy Chua is a teacher in an American university and both of her parents are Chinese. In the book, Ms. Chua writes about how she taught her daughters. She told NBC television that she had a clear list of what her daughters were not allowed to do, such as having a play date, watching TV or playing computer games and getting any grade less than an A.
Many people are against Amy Chua's parenting style (風(fēng)格), even her husband, who is American. They say it is rude and unfair to children. But she says her parents raised her and her three sisters in that way.
Ms. Chua says after her younger daughter shouted “I hate my life! I hate you!” she decided to retreat because she was afraid of losing her daughter. But she also says American parents often have low expectations of their children's abilities.
“The debate is about what it means to be a successful parent and what it means to be a successful child,” said Stacy DeBroff, who has written four books on parenting. She says Amy Chua's parenting style is not limited to Chinese families. It is a traditional way of parenting among immigrants (移民). They hope to get a better future for their children.
She also sees a risk (風(fēng)險). When children have no time to be social or to develop their own interests, they might not develop other skills that they need to succeed in life. DeBroff advises parents to develop their own style of parenting and not just repeat the way they were raised.
（1）Which of the following words can best describe Amy Chua?
A.Polite.
B.Cruel.
C.Strict.
D.Popular.
（2）The underlined word “retreat” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _____.
A.give up
B.go on
C.go out
D.give out
（3）According to Ms. DeBroff, _____.
A.Amy Chua's parenting style should be forbidden
B.Americans should learn from Amy Chua
C.parents should have their own parenting style
D.Amy Chua's style is bad for children's growth
（4）In which part of a newspaper can you read the passage?
A.Business.
B.Entertainment.
C.Sports.
D.Culture.

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
“Have a nice day!” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day!” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.
“Have a nice day. Next!” This version(版本) of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else's is the management's attempt to increase business.
The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don't know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I'm terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”
The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don't know has tried to be nice to you.
Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it's nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don't care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.
（1）How does the author understand Maxie's word?
A.Maxie really wishes the author a good day.
B.Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.
C.Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.
D.Maxie really worries about the author's security (安全).
（2）What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.The salesgirl is rude.
B.The salesgirl is bored.
C.The salesgirl cares about me.
D.The salesgirl says the words as a routine(慣例).
（3）By saying “Have a nice day.” a stranger may ________.
A.express respect to you
B.give his blessing to you
C.try to be friendly to you
D.share his pleasure with you
（4）What is the best title of the passage?
A.Have a nice day—a meaningless expression
B.Have a nice day—a Heart-warming Greeting
C.Have a nice day—a Social Custom
D.Have a nice day—a Polite Ending of a Conversation

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
Sometimes 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(狡猾的). Sure we all know that we're the apple of our parents' eyes, and that our Grandmas think we're great talents(天才) 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, although you think it is so, it doesn't mean it's true.
The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective(客觀的), and to actively convince(客觀的) 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(提升) a positive self-image. When you can pat(拍) yourself on the back, you'll know you're well on your way. Good luck!
（1）You need to build a positive self-image when you _________.
A.dare to challenge yourself
B.feel it hard to change yourself
C.are not confident about yourself
D.have a high opinion of yourself
（2）How should you change your self-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.
（3）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.
（4）Who are the intended readers of the passage?
A.Parents.
B.Adolescents.
C.Educators.
D.People in general.
