5.Earlier this year,my oldest daughter got braces(矯正器)on her teeth,and let's just say she did not go quietly into that dentist's chair.Fear and hate pretty much describe the days leading up to her first appointment.
So when she finally walked out with shiny teeth,a sore(疼痛的)mouth and a broken spirit,I told her I was proud of her and took her to Ben &Jerry's for an ice cream reward.Two weeks later,we returned to the scene of the crime.The dentist spent about 45seconds checking her teeth before sending her on her merry way.Before I could start the car,she was placing her ice cream order.She was shocked when I told her that she wasn't going to get a reward every time we get her teeth checked.
Clearly,she's not alone.According to some parenting experts,kids are easily addicted to a benefit-producing system of parental rewards and bribes-it's not all ice creams,candies and cool toys.Some parents are offering their children prizes to just let them sit down and behave in a restaurant-or sleep in their own beds-or score a goal in the next soccer game.
While the experts agree that occasional awards are okay,the danger lies in the system's overuse.Kids quickly gain a sense of entitlement(應得的權(quán)利),where they come to expect a big reward for every good thing that they do,no matter how small.To keep things in check,experts say parents should reduce the number of rewards they offer,make sure rewards match the behavior and explain the real benefits of behaving for the sake of behaving.
Have you used bribery or a reward system with your kids?Was it successful?Do your kids expect more because of that system?

28.The intended readers of the passage areD.
A.children    
B.teachers    
C.doctors 
D.parents
29.What does the author mean by saying"the scene of the crime"?D
A.He/she doubted whether the dentist was skilled.
B.He/she felt very sorry for his/her daughter's illness.
C.His/her daughter suffered a lot from her illness.
D.His/her daughter had a bad feeling for the dentist's.
30.Similar to the author's daughter,childrenB.
A.a(chǎn)re often troubled by bad teeth,
B.expect more reward from their parents.
C.a(chǎn)re afraid to visit a dentist.    
D.receive certain rewards when becoming i11.
31.Misguided by the parental reward system,children easily thinkC.
A.their parents must be far richer than others'
B.they can be successful as long as they work hard.
C.they should benefit from their every desired behavior.
D.their parents will feel happy when they behave well.

10.Italians like to say that when it comes to alcohol,they have a sipping (小酌) culture rather than a drinking culture.That means that while Italians may enjoy a glass of wine or beer,they don't usually get very drunk.
That's not true any more.The new study by the Italian National Health Institute found that 63 percent of Italians under age 18 get drunk on the weekends.Now,the city of Milan has created a law that will stop anyone under 16 from buying alcohol.Anyone who sells or gives alcohol to a person under 16 can be fined up to    700.Young people who feel that the new law is unfair should go to the US for some perspective (觀點).The US has the highest drinking age in the world; It's illegal for anyone under 21 to buy alcohol,and stores or restaurants that are caught selling alcohol to people under the legal age risk losing their licenses,
Many young Americans complain that the drinking laws are unfair; They are allowed to vote in elections and join the army at age 18,so why wait another three years just to buy a bottle of beer?
These young people have found help in an unusual place.Last year,more.than 100 presidents of US universities joined together to ask lawmakers to consider changing the drinking age.They argued that the law doesn't stop underage college kids from getting drunk-it just makes them want to drink more.
For now,the law seems unlikely to change.But US teenagers who want alcohol can go north 10 Canada,where the drinking age is 18-19,or south to Mexico where the legal age is 18.Throughout much of Asia,Africa and Europe,the legal drinking age ranges 16-18.
In plenty of places though,the official drinking age is ignored,and even young children can buy alcohol if they have the money to pay for it.
No matter how old you are,you should always be responsible with alcohol.Teenagers in Milan are now learning that their reckless (不顧后果的) drinking behavior may come at a high price.
 53.The new law by the city of MilanC.
     A.is welcomed by Italian young people
     B.a(chǎn)ims to keep Italy's sipping culture alive
     C.forbids selling alcohol to people under 16
     D.has reduced the number of underage youths getting drunk
54.Which of the following places has the lowest drinking age?B
    A.New York         B.Milan            C.Mexico          D.Canada
55.Many US university presidents want lawmakers to consider changing the drinking age becauseD.
    A.they've received complaints from many young Americans about the unfairness of the laws
    B.hey agree that people old enough to vole and join the army should be allowed to drink.
    C.they don't want to see US teenagers going to neighboring countries for a drink
    D.they believe the law is pushing underage youths toward alcohol instead of stopping them
56.What can we infer from the passage?A
    A,In many places the shop owners don't mind selling alcohol to underage customers.
    B.The author thinks that US teenagers should go to Canada or Mexico to drink.
    C.Restaurants in the US don't sell alcohol to people under 21 for fear of a    700 fine.
    D.Teens in Milan have to pay a lot of money for their reckless drinking behavior.

17.Does happiness have a scent?
    When someone is hapy,can you smell it?
You can usually tell when someone is happy based on seeing them smile,hearing them laugh or perhaps from receiving a big hug.But can you also smell their happiness?Surprising new research suggests that happiness does indeed have a scent,and that the experience of happiness can be transmitted through smell,reports Phys.org.
For the study,12young men were shown videos meant to bring about a variety of emotions while researchers gathered sweat samples from them.All of the men were healthy and none of them were drug users or smokers,and all were asked to abstainfrom drinking or eating smelly foods during the study period.
Those sweat samples were then given to 36equally healthy young women to smell,while researchers monitored their reactions.Only women were selected to smell the samples,apparently because previous research has shown that women have a better sense of smell than men and are also more sensitive to emotional signaling-though it's unclear why only men were chosen to produce the scents.
Researchers found that the behavior of the women after smelling the scents-particularly their facial expressions-indicated a relationship between the emotional states of the men who produced the sweat and the women who sniffed them.
"Human sweat produced when a person is happy brings about a state similar to happiness in somebody who breathes this smell,"said study co-author Gun Semin,a professor at Koc University in Turkey.
This is a fascinating finding because it not only means that happiness does have a scent,but that the scent is capable of transmitting the emotion to others.The study also found that other emotions,such as fear,seem to carry a scent too.This ensures previous research suggesting that some negative emotions have a smell,but it is the first time this has proved to be true of positive feelings.
Researchers have yet to isolate(分離) exactly what the chemical compound for the happiness smell is,but you might imagine what the potential applications for such a finding could be.Happiness perfumes,for instance,could be invented.Scent therapies(香味療法)could also be developed to help people through depression or anxiety.
Perhaps the most surprising result of the study,however,is our broadened understanding of how emotions get communicated,and also how our own emotions are potentially managed through our social context and the emotional states of those around us.

63.What is the main finding of the new research?C
A.Men produce more sweats.
B.Negative emotions have a smell.
C.Pleasant feelings can be smelt out.
D.Women have a better sense of smell.
64.The underlined part"abstain from"in Paragraph 3probably meansA.
A.a(chǎn)void          B.practice     C.continue   D.try
65.What is the application value of the new research?B
A.Perfumes could help people understand each other.
B.Some smells could be developed to better our mood.
C.Perfumes could be produced to cure physical diseases.
D.Some smells could be created to improve our appearance.
66.We can learn from the last paragraph thatD.
A.happiness comes from a scent of sweat
B.positive energy can deepen understanding
C.people need more emotional communiation
D.social surroundings can influence our emotions.
