【題目】Parents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends. Is this a good thing? Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests they both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.
“I would never have said to my mom, ‘Hey, the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like it?’” says Ballmer. “There was just a complete gap in taste.”
Music was not the only gulf. From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits(軌道).
Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. And parent—child activities, from shopping to sports, involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood.
But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents. “There’s still a lot of strictness and authority(權(quán)威) on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening,” says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College. “In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents.”
Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these changing roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic(民主的) process that encourages everyone to have a say.
“My parents were on the ‘before’ side of that change, but today’s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the ‘a(chǎn)fter’ side,” explains Mr. Ballmer. “It’s not something easily achieved by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.”
【1】The underlined word “gulf” in Para.3 most probably means _________.
A. distance B. interest
C. similarity D. cooperation
【2】The change in today’s parent-child relationship is _________.
A. more confusion among children.
B. less respect for parents from children.
C. new equality between parents and children.
D. more strictness and authority on the part of parents.
【3】By saying “today’s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the ‘a(chǎn)fter’ side.” the author means that today’s parents _________.
A. can set a limit to the change.
B. follow the trend of the change.
C. fail to take the change seriously.
D. have little difficulty adjusting(適應(yīng))to the change.
【4】The purpose of the passage is to _________.
A. describe the difficulties today’s parents have met with.
B. discuss the development of the parent—child relationship.
C. suggest the ways to handle the parent—child relationship.
D. compare today’s parent—child relationship with that in the past.

【題目】I grew up in Malaysia. Since we did not have many toys, we used rubber bands (橡皮筋) to make a jump rope. Three years ago, when my daughters Michelle and Theresa were 9 and 12 years old, they were making bracelets (手環(huán)) using rubber bands. It struck me that I knew how to do that. I like to impress my daughters and show them that their dad is cool, so I tried it too. To my surprise, I couldn’t work with the bands because my fingers were too big.
Since I studied engineering, I decided to come up with a solution (解決辦法). I ran down to my basement and found a piece of wooden board, some pushpins and hooks (圖釘和鉤子). With the help of these things, I managed to make a bracelet. One of my daughters said, “Wow, that’s cool, but I can make it by hand.” So I started to put two, three, four, five rows together. I crossed the bands into diamond patterns using rainbow colors, which is how the Rainbow Loom (彩虹織機(jī)) got its name.
My daughters were so excited that they showed the bracelets to their friends. We started to get requests for them. But they were still difficult to make. I thought, “If I can make a small, easy-to-use loom, I’m onto something big.” It took six months and a lot of support from my kids to perfect the idea.
I tried to sell the loom by making videos about how to use it and taking my daughters to stores to show it. Many store owners thought it might be too difficult to use. For a year, we sold it only on our website. When it became popular with kids, it got noticed by toy stores.
It is so exciting that a simple idea my kids and I came up with together at our living-room table has become a nationwide fad.
【1】The author tried to show his daughters how to make bracelets but _____.
A. was refused B. regretted
C. failed D. was misunderstood
【2】The author made up his mind to find a method of _____.
A. making bracelets
B. using a jump rope
C. impressing his daughters
D. inventing the Rainbow Loom
【3】The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refers to _____.
A. looms B. bracelets
C. friends D. rainbows
【4】What did store owners think of the author’s invention at first?
A. They thought highly of it.
B. They had a long wait for it.
C. They showed a great interest in it.
D. They thought there was no market for it.

【題目】閱讀下面的文章,從每題后面所給的四個選項中選出正確的一項。
Bangkok has become the world’s top tourist destination, with 15.98 million visitors projected to visit Thailand’s capital city this year, according to the third annual Global Destination Cities Index released by MasterCard on Monday. Based on data MasterCard collected from governments, central banks, related public agencies and airlines so far this year, the projection for the entire year says Bangkok is surpassing (超過) London, the previous holder of the top place, by a very narrow margin.
Monday’s report marked the first time an Asian city has been projected to be the top-ranked tourist destination. London came in second, with 15.96 million visitors expected in 2013, and Paris, third, with 13.92 million visitors. MasterCard looked at 132 cities.
Other Asian cities that made it to the Top-20 Global Destination Cities in 2013 include Singapore at number four, with 11.75 million visitors; Kuala Lumpur at number eight, with 9.2 million visitors; Hong Kong at number nine, with 8.72 million visitors; Seoul at number 11, with 8.19 million visitors; Shanghai at number 14, with 6.5 million visitors, Tokyo at number 16, with 5.8 million visitors, and Taipei, with 5.19 million visitors.
The study found that Bangkok is experiencing a large increase in its number of tourists in 2013, up 9.8% from 2009. That compares to New York’s increase at 5.0% and London’s at 3.8%. Paris, meanwhile, saw a small dip in its number of tourists (negative 0.7%).
Caroline Lledo, who was visiting Bangkok from France, said Thailand has many offerings. “We like culture and the people are so nice. We also love shopping here,” Ms. Lledo said. MasterCard Worldwide’s global economic adviser Yuwa Hedrick-Wong cited (引用) overall value for money spent for why Bangkok is attractive. That is true for Thailand overall as well.

C. Paris is experiencing an increase in its number of tourists

Some Habits of Super Positive People
Life is full of positive experiences.Notice them.Notice the sun warming your skin, the small child learning to walk, and the smiling faces around you.Smell the rain, and feel the wind.Live your life to the fullest potential by enjoying the beauty of these experiences, and letting them inspire you to be the most positive version﹙看法﹚ of YOU.
Living a positive life is all about creating positive habits to help you focus on what truly matters. This is the secret of super positive people.Here are some simple ideas to help you follow in their footsteps.
【1】_________
Life's too wonderful to waste time with people who don't treat you right.So surround yourself with people who make you happy and make you smile.People who help you up when you're down.People who would never take advantage of you.People who genuinely care.They are the ones worth keeping in your life.Everyone else is just passing through.
【2】_________
Your life isn't perfect, but it does have perfect moments.Don't let the little things get you down.You've got plenty of reasons to look up at the sky and say, "Thank you, I will do my best to make this a great day." So slow down and pause for a moment to stand in awe of(敬畏) the fact that you are alive, and that you have the ability to rediscover life as the miracle it has always been.
【3】_________
It doesn't have to be January 1st to give yourself a chance to make good use of your life.Every day is a new day to learn, grow, develop your strengths, heal yourself from past regrets, and move forward.Every day gives you a chance to reinvent yourself, to adjust who you are, and build on the lessons you have learned.It is never too late to change things that are not working in your life.Using today wisely will always help you create a more positive tomorrow.
【4】_________
It's the most positive, stress-free way to live, because the truth always reveals itself eventually anyway.So don't aim to be impressive, aim to be true.Those who are true are truly impressive.Being true means having integrity; and integrity is doing the right thing even when you know nobody is watching.
【5】_________
Today, give someone one of your smiles.It might be the only sunshine they see all day.Sometimes just a single genuine smile or praise can lift a person's spirits to new heights.At the right time, a kind word from a stranger, or unexpected encouragement from a friend, can make all the difference in the world.Kindness is free, but it's priceless.And as you know, what goes around comes around.

Public Speaking Training
·Get a coach
【1】 ,so get help. Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you.
·Focus on positives
Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well. 【2】 , so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn't do.
· 【3】
If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it's going to give you lots of dos and don'ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about.
【4】 . As far as we're concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.
·You are a special person not a clone
Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits. 【5】 . Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone you're not.
A. You aren't like anybody else
B. You already do lots of things well
C. Turn your back on too many rules
D. Check the rules about dos and don'ts
E. Whatever the presentation, public speaking is tough
F.The one thing you don't want
G. So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse
