Your daughter has finally reached the age of 18, and you think perhaps your job will finally get a little easier. That could be wrong thinking - as the parent of any 18-year-old will tell you.  Learning to cope with an ungrateful 18-year-old daughter takes patience, understanding and time.
_______ When she was a little girl, she wanted you to be involved（參和） in everything of her life from her daily activities to her friends. This is' no longer the case. She's a grown woman who needs her own personal life. Comment（評論） on her choices only when asked to do so - especially if you want to say no to her.
Allow her to make mistakes. No parent wants to see his or her child fall, but the days of protecting her all the time are at an end. Unless（除非） you see a train coming, let her fall when she makes poor choices. It will enable her to grow past the ungrateful "know it all" stage.
Encourage dialogue whenever you can, rather than planning talks. She's more likely to open up to you when talking over something trivial (瑣碎的). Anytime she wants to talk, become a willing listener in the conversation. You never know when a deeper, more important conversation will develop.
小題1:What does the underlined phrase "cope with" mean?
A．walk withB．go withC．talk withD．deal with
小題2:Which sentence is best to put into the blank in the second paragraph?
A．Never give your opinions to her.
B．Give her the space she asks for.
C．Never take part in her activities.
D．Always say yes to her.
小題3:We can learn that parents_______ from the third paragraph.
A．can't protect their children every minute
B．sometimes make mistakes
C．should let their children fall as often as possible
D．shouldn't allow their children to take the train alone
小題4:The passage is written for_______.
A．daughtersB．studentsC．parentsD．females

小題1:D
小題2:B
小題3:A
小題4:C

試題分析：這篇文章主要講述了父母應(yīng)該怎么對付長大的女兒。需要給她自己的空間，允許她犯錯(cuò)，多和她溝通交流，而不是找她談話。
小題1:詞意猜測題：聯(lián)系整個(gè)句子，意為：對付一個(gè)不領(lǐng)情的18歲的女兒需要耐心，理解和時(shí)間。Cope with對付，相當(dāng)于deal with，故選D。
小題2:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段后文She's a grown woman who needs her own personal life.她是個(gè)成年人了，需要她自己的私人生活。所以選擇B，給她需要的空間。
小題3:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段描述No parent wants to see his or her child fall, but the days of protecting her all the time are at an end.沒有父母愿意看到孩子摔跤，但是保護(hù)他們的日子已經(jīng)結(jié)束了，所以選A,父母不可能時(shí)時(shí)刻刻保護(hù)孩子。
小題4:推理判斷題。結(jié)合文章內(nèi)容，主要講述了父母怎么對待孩子，所以文章是寫給父母的，選C。

The Post Hotel in Austria is clean but the price is high. If you go to a fast food restaurant, you will probably see a lot of teenagers. Today, many teenagers are overweight, and some of this is because of their bad eating habits. Most teenagers love food with a lot of fat, oil, salt, and sugar. People often call this kind of food “junk food".?
But bad eating habits go beyond fast food. We find many teenagers eat unhealthily. Some don't have breakfast before they go to school。.During the day, some don't have a proper meal for lunch. In a recent survey at one school, scientists found that over two thirds of the students didn't follow a healthy diet. They didn't like vegetables, and many of them didn't like to eat fruits.

Parents today also worry about their children's diet. Some doctors give the following advice:
★ Teenagers shouldn't eat too much junk food.
★ Teenagers shouldn't eat food with too much salt. Salt can cause high blood pressure（高血壓）in the future.
★ Teenagers should eat food with less fat, oil, and sugar.
★ Teenagers need to eat some fruits and vegetables every day. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins（維生素）and have little fat.

If you want to watch and know something about birds, you must find a good place near the bird nest（巢）.
Birds sit on eggs and take care of their babies from April to June. Because the baby birds are too young to leave the nest, parents often go to look for food and come back in several minutes.

Now satellites are helping to forecast（預(yù)報(bào)）the weather.  They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world.  The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere（大氣）, because this is where the weather forms（形成）.  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（比較）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（提前）.
