Parents should stop blaming themselves because there’s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.
I’ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I don’t know what to do with him these days,” she said. “He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.” He hasn’t forgotten them. He’s just decided that he’s not going to use them. She confessed(坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.
Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, “I don’t like your dress; it’s ugly.” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.
“Where did we go wrong?” her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.
小題1: This text is most probably written by ______.
A.A specialist in teenager studies.
B.a(chǎn) headmaster of a middle school
C.a(chǎn) parent with teenage children
D.a(chǎn) doctor for mental health problems

A.the change from good to bad that’s seen in a child

C.the opinion that a child has of his parents
D.the advice that parents want their children to follow
小題3:The boy on the sofa would most probably be described as ______.
A.lazyB.quietC.unusualD.rude
小題4:From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters ______.
A.pay no attention to them
B.a(chǎn)re too busy to look after them
C.have come to hate them
D.feel helpless to do much about them
小題5:What is the author’s opinion about the sudden change in teenage children?
A.Parents have no choice but to try to accept it.
B.Parents should pay still more attention to the change.
C.Parents should work more closely with school teachers.
D.Parents are a fault for the change in their children.

Now satellites are helping to forecast(預(yù)報)the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere, because this is where the weather forms. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists(氣象學(xué)家)can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.
Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.
So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead.
小題1:Satellites travel _____________.
A.in spaceB.in the atmosphere
C.a(chǎn)bove the groundD.a(chǎn)bove space
小題2:Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere? Because __________.
A.the weather satellites can do it easily
B.clouds form there
C.the weather forms there
D.the pictures can forecast the weather
小題3:Meteorologists forecast the weather __________.
A.when they have received satellite pictures
B.a(chǎn)fter they have compared new satellite pictures with earlier ones
C.before they received satellite pictures
D.during they study satellite pictures
小題4:Maybe we’ll soon be able to forecast the weather for ________.
A.one dayB.two days
C.five daysD.seven days or even longer
小題5:The main idea of this passage is that satellites are now used in _________.

“If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!”
That may seem a strange thing to say it. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too. You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music.
All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it. The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a hard floor. All feel different under your feet.
There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to feel them!
Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show.
