14.Parents feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers. (31)C According to a recent research,the most common argument between parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks.(32)AOn the other hand,teenagers lose their patience continually when parents blame them for dropping the towel in the bathroom,not cleaning up their room.
The research,conducted by St.George University,shows that different parents have different
approaches to these problems.(33)EFor example,those parents who yell at their children for their untidiness,but later clean the room for them,have fewer chances of changing their children's behavior.On the contrary,those who let teenagers experience the thrills of their actions can do better.(34)FParents should talk to their children but at the same time they should lend an ear to what they have to say. (35)D It is only by listening to and understanding each other that problems between parents and children can be settled.

A.On the one hand,parents go mad over messy rooms.
B.There are many reasons for this.
C.Then again,teenagers have similar feelings about their parents.
D.Communication is a twoway process.
E.However,some approaches are more successful than others.
F.Psychologists say that communication is the most important thing in parentchild relationships.
G.It is better for children and parents to understand each other.

2.It was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night.The morning after the storm though was beautiful:blue skies,warm air and a calm,inviting sea touching the shore gently.
My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him.I was only 14and fishing had never been my thing,but I decided to go all the same.I'm so glad I did.
Onthe road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast,but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape.After all it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea.As we got on board,we noticed two big humps(脊背) in the distance.
On approaching them,we saw it was a mother whale with her baby.We couldn't believe it----there aren't any whales along the coast here.The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay,in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.
The little baby whale----actually as big as our boat----was obviously stuck and could not move.The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly,making big whirlpools(漩渦) and waves."She's trying to help her baby,but on the wrong side,"my father said.At this point,my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and heading the boat towards the baby whale,pushed it gently.With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water.Then it swam up right beside its mum.They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction.We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel.Slowly,they let us lead them,some-times rising from the water right beside us to breathe----and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes.Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea,the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.
It had felt like in the excitement only a few minutes,but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half.That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day,Nearly four decades later,I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea.

B.the arms of the bay
C.the still water in the channel
D.the long coast line

C.she had no other whales around to tutu to for help

19.It is a big problem for most teenagers to get along well with parents.Teenagers are gradually getting more mature---or at least they think they are.So they can't wait to get themselves free from their so-called bondage.Their parents are in their 40s and they are annoyed by their aging.(33)FBut people prefer harmony.How can we achieve it?Here are some tips:
First and foremost,(34)A We can't be sure if we are created by God,yet people worship him,but we are absolutely sure that our parents created us.Isn't a good enough reason why we should respect them?
What's more,(35)CWe can't just take their payment for granted or become apathetic to their kindness.We are always impressed by strangers'occasional kindness.How can we be insensitive to our parents who worry about us all the time?
In addition,don't forget to communicate with your parents.(36)BFor example,they may read our private diaries or follow us everywhere even to the bathroom.This will definitely cause strife in the family.
Last but not the least,(37)DIt may be difficult at first,but once you do it,your parents'actions will suddenly be clear.
If parents and teenagers work a little more we can all get something back.

A.We must respect our parents from the bottom of our heart.
B.If we refuse to communicate with them,parents will fell so frustrated that they will do anything they can to know us.
C.it's important to be grateful to our parents.
D.We need to switch places with our parents.
E.Gradual disappointment with patents is,in some degree,inevitable.
F.That's why people say families at this time are a confrontation between adolescence and the climacteric.
G.As we get older,we begin to realize that our parents are not as perfect as we thought.

3.Australia loves interesting money.In 1988,it was the first country to replace paper money with special plastic banknotes.Now it's introduced a new five-dollar bill so technologically advanced that many experts are calling it the money of the future!
At first glance,the new note looks much like the old one.It has the same pink colour and  main pictures on the front and back.But look closer,and you will notice a clear window running down the middle,surrounded by images of the yellow Prickly Moses,a type of Australian plant.
Tilt(使傾斜) the note a little and you will see the Eastern Spinebill,an Australian bird,beating its wings as if trying to fly away.Turn the bill from side to side,and you will notice the picture of a small building at the bottom of the note spins,and the image of"5"changes position.While these moveable features are impressive and entertaining,that was not the reason Australian government officials spent ten years developing them.Their primary purpose was to make it impossible for criminals to produce their own fake notes.
The new five-dollar note also has something to help blind people easily identify the money.It has s raised bump alongside the top and bottom,enabling blind people to quickly determine its value.
The credit for persuading the Australian government to add this all-important bump goes to 15-year-old Connor McLeod.The blind Sydney teenager came up with the idea in 2014 after being unable to tell how much money he had received for Christmas.Connor says he was so embarrassed at not being able to see the difference between notes that he only carried coins to pay for food at not being able to see the difference between notes that he only carried coins to pay for food at the school cafeteria.To convince the government officials of his idea,Connor started a website that got huge public attention.
The government will add this feature to the new 10 bill which comes out in late 2017,as well as the updated 20,50,and 100bills that are still being designed.

24.Which picture does NOT move when the banknote is tilted?C
A.The bird.B.The number.C.The plants.D.The building.
25.What was the main reason the Australian government created the new banknote?A
A.To make the note more difficult to copy.
B.To show the country's advanced technology.
C.To help blind people more easily use money.
D.To make the not's appearance more attractive.
26.What can we guess about Australian coins?A
A.They are different in size or shape.
B.They are required in school cafeterias.
C.They are more frequently used than notes.
D.They are more convenient for young people.
27.What did Connor do to persuade the government?C
A.He wrote a letter to the leaders.
B.He organized an online meeting.
C.He sought support on the Internet.
D.He requested a special Christmas gift.
