Honestly, since my daughter was born, I have thought a lot about how to raise a child. I once heard a story that told about when a baby was born. The story said that when a baby was born, a new master was born. The parents of that baby would become the servants. The question is: Why? Based on my observation, this phenomenon is true. Most parents who don't pay much attention to their kids have difficulties with their kids' attitude.
I'll make a comparison of how two families raise their children. The first one is a family with three children. Both mother and father never say "No" to their children's demands. As a result, all of their children became stubborn and won't listen to their parents’ words, "We can't."
The second family educated their children strictly from one year old to high school. The parents never approved or agreed directly to give their children what they wanted. They always postponed one or two days, even if they could afford it. Due to the way their parents educated them, these children understood that if they wanted something, they had to wait or they had to make an effort first. As a result, all the kids from the second family successfully graduated from university on time.
In my opinion, if we want to be successful parents and raise our children well, we have to start disciplining them when they are toddlers but not wait until they become teenagers.

  1. 1.

    Why did the writer give two different stories in this passage?

    1. A.
      To help prove his opinion about raising a child.
    2. B.
      To list different ways that parents may take.
    3. C.
      To criticize some parents’ foolish action.
    4. D.
      To prove that his way of education is right.
  2. 2.

    What does the underlined word “postponed” in the third paragraph mean?

    1. A.
      Carried out at once.
    2. B.
      Gave up.
    3. C.
      Put off.
    4. D.
      Made a decision.
  3. 3.

    In the writer’s opinion, which of the following about raising a child is TRUE?

    1. A.
      Children should be respected once they were born.
    2. B.
      Parents should educate their children as early as possible.
    3. C.
      It is right time to educate their children when they are teenagers.
    4. D.
      Children should be helped whenever they make mistakes.

People Born in Autumn Live Longer
People born in the autumn live longer than those born in the spring and are less likely to fall chronically ill when they are older, according to an Austrian scientist.
Using census（人口普查）data for more than one million people in Austria, Denmark and Australia, scientists at the Max Planck Institute in the northern German town of Rostock found the month of birth was related to life expectancy（預(yù)期壽命）over the age of 50. Seasonal differences in what mothers ate during pregnancy, and infections occurring at different times of the year could both have an impact on the health of a new-born baby and could influence its life expectancy in older age. “A mother giving birth in spring spends the last phase of her pregnancy in winter, when she will eat less vitamins than in summer,” said Gabriele Doblhammer, one of a team of scientists who carried out the research. “When she stops breast-feeding and starts giving her baby normal food, it’s in the hot weeks of summer when babies are prone (易于)to infections of the digestive system.” In Austria, adults born in autumn (October-December) lived about seven months longer than those born in spring (April-June), and in Denmark adults with birthdays in autumn outlived those born in spring by about four months. In the southern hemisphere, the picture was similar. Adults born in the Australian autumn—the European spring—lived about four months longer than those born in the Australian spring. The study focused on people born at the beginning of the 20th century, using death certificates and census data. Although nutrition at all times of the year has improved since then, the seasonal pattern persists, Doblhammer said.
But on the other hand, according to a study of more 40,000 people, those born in spring and summer report themselves luckier than those born in autumn or winter. Professor Richard Wise-man who led the research explained that the temperature at the time of birth might influence the development of the brain and seasonal factors make a difference as well.

      What mothers ate during pregnancy could have an impact on the babies’ life expectancy in older age.
  5. 5.

    1. A.
      The month of birth was not related to life expectancy over the age of 50.

      A mother giving birth in spring spends the last phase of her pregnancy in winter, eating more vitamins than in summer.

    4. D.
      Adults born in the Australian autumn―the European spring―lived about four months longer than those born in the Australian spring.

If you don’t use a dictionary. What should you do instead? The first thing you can do is trying to guess what the word means. Often the surrounding context gives a very clear idea of the meaning of the word. Even if you can’t work out the meaning exactly, you may be able to get a vague idea, enough to enable you to continue reading.
Sometimes It is impossible to guess the meaning of a word from the context and then you will have to decide whether the word is important enough to make it worthwhile stopping and looking it up in a dictionary or whether you can just pass it by.
Many times in your reading, you will come across words which you don’t know, but which do not prevent you from understanding all the main points of the text.

When I say “work is rest”, some people will say I’m crazy. But that’s the way it is—we need to rest. Without rest, we will die. At a minimum, we won’t have the energy to work.
Nobody forces us to be so stupid about this. We just don’t know how to rest properly. We rest in ways that are not restful, even stressful. Some of our ways of rest interfere (妨礙) with our working energy. Instead of sleep, we go to the movies and clubs, drink or have a smoke with friends. This is because we misunderstand the meaning of “rest.”
We should remember that rest means not working, both physically and mentally. Only then is it real rest. When tired, rest. It’s simple. Actually, dogs and cats are smarter about this than people. People are stupid enough to rest in ways that destroy their capacity (能力) to work.
Rest and work always go together. There must be a balance: work during the day and rest at night. When the sun comes up, one has plenty of strength to work well and enjoy it. In other words, rest is a kind of investment, so that one has the strength and energy to continue working. So we need rest to work, recognizing that we can’t have one without the other. Rest is what recharges our batteries. We need enough time to charge up adequately to the tasks we undertake. Thus, we need to rest correctly; otherwise, illness will occur and also can affect the efficiency of our work.
Rest can’t be skimped. Without enough rest, good work is impossible. This is why we say that rest is another kind of work.

  1. 1.

    Which of the following is the best rest according to this passage?

    1. A.
      Going to the movies and clubs.

    3. C.
      Sleeping at home.                         
    4. D.
      Playing cards with family members.
  2. 2.

    The underlined word “skimped” in the last paragraph most probably means _____.

    1. A.
      not supplied with enough of what is needed
    2. B.
      strengthened in spite of the conditions
    3. C.
      recharged during the time of working            
    4. D.
      invested without any of the cost
  3. 3.

    1. A.
      dogs and cats are smarter than we human beings
    2. B.
      rest can make us work more efficiently

      it’s not proper to sleep in the daytime for people.
    4. D.
      rest is more important than work for people
