1．Research shows that childhood friendships are important indicators of future success and social adjustment．Children's relationships with peers （同齡人） strongly influence their success in school，and children with fewer friends are more at risk of dropping out of school，becoming depressed and other problems．
Making and Keeping Friends Is More Than Child's Play
When 6-year-old Rachel returned to school on a recent Monday morning，her eyes immediately scanned the playground for her friend Abbie．Though they were only separated by a weekend，the girls"ran right into each other's arms and hugged，"recalls Rachel's mother Kathryn Willis of Gilbert．"It was like a scene from a movie．"
Most parents instinctively （本能地） know that having friends is good for their child．Experts agree that friendship is not simply child's play，but a powerful predictor of social adjustment throughout life．
A Skill for Life
"Childhood friendships serve as a very important training ground for adulthood，"says Dr．Robbie Adler-Tapia，psychologist with the Center for Children's Health & Life Development at the East Valley Family Resource Center．
Researcher William Hartup states，"Peer relations contribute significantly to both social and cognitive （認(rèn)知的） development．"Hartup concludes that the single best childhood predictor of adult social adaptation is not school grades or classroom behavior，but rather，how well a child gets along with other children．
The work of Arizona State University professor of developmental psychology Gary Ladd proves that just as being able to make and keep friends is beneficial to kids，so is the lack of friends detrimental．
Good Friendships Don't Just Happen
Experts agree that it is essential for children to establish high-quality friendships．But，researchers warn，these friendships don't necessarily just happen．Often，a good friendship begins with involved parents．
Valley psychologist Dr．Lynne Kenney Markan believes kids should be taught social skills in much the same way they are taught math and reading．
Bad Company
Many parents worry about the quality as well as the quantity of their child's friendships．"When she was in 1st grade，her supposed'best friend'began calling her names and threatening to hurt her，"says Mindy Miller．"My daughter wasn't allowed to talk to or even look at other girls in her class．It really crushed （壓跨） her spirit．I told my daughter she didn't need a'friend'like that．"
"I'll bend over backwards to help my son get together with a friend I think is good for him，"Adler-Tapia says．"I don't look at it as manipulation （操縱），just positive parental involvement．"

63．The example of Rachel and Abbie is used to illustrate thatA．
A．childhood friendship is of great significance to their growth
B．a(chǎn) positive friendship helps children solve emotional and physical problems
C．it is a proven fact that peer friendship is the most rewarding experience throughout life
D．Rachel missed her friend Abbie very much because of their separation of one weekend
64．The underlined word"detrimental"could be replaced byD．
A．a(chǎn)ggressive   B．disappointing   C．ridiculous   D．harmful
65．We can learn from the passage that high-quality friendship most probably results fromD
A．social skills and good study habits
B．school grades and classroom behaviors
C．a(chǎn)cademic success and social adaptation
D．positive parental involvement and social skills
66．From the last paragraph we can conclude that Dr．Robbie Adler-Tapia agrees thatB
A．parents should regard making friends as something that just happens
B．it's wise for parents to support and encourage healthy peer relationships
C．parents only need to help their children to cope with difficult social situations
D．parents are supposed to encourage their children to make as many friends as they can．

20．I was in a terrible mood．Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn't invited me．I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in．"Want to go for a ride，today，Beck？It's a beautiful day．"
"No!Leave me alone!"Those were the last words I said to him that morning．
My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later．I forgot to be mad at them and when I came home to find a note on the table．My mother put it where I would be sure to see it．"Dad has had an accident．Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital"．
When I reached the hospital，my mother came out and told me my father's injuries were extensive．"Your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911，thank God!If he had moved Daddy，there's no telling what might have happened．A broken rib（肋骨）might have pierced（穿透）a lung…"

16．School meals are junk and don't provide the nutrition a body needs to grow，says Jamie Oliver，and he decides to do something about it．Schoolchildren in France who eat school dinners are likely to have a well-balanced，four-course meal with fresh ingredients （成分） costing up to￡1.10 to make．ButBritish schoolchildren are fed mainly cheap-processed meat，frozen pizzas and potato smiley faces，costing on average just 37 pence per meal．
In fact the money spent on school dinners is so small that schools can afford only what some people describe as junk food rather than fresh natural ingredients．This means that their meals don't provide the nutrients and goodness children's bodies need to develop properly．No wonder there's growing concern about the health of the nation's schoolchildren．
Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver was so concerned about school dinners that he decided to try to improve them by teaming up with the kitchen staff at Kidbrooke School in Grenwich．He took a lot of time to learn how to get the kids to stop eating the junk and move to healthy food．This is not easy!But it is possible with some hard work and determination!After a lot of hard work from both Jamie and the school's cooks，Kidbrooke is now serving some of the best school food in Britain．The menu includes fresh butcher's sausages with creamy mash and onion gravy，chilli corn with basmati rice and fresh fruit salad．Incredibly，Jamie and the staff managed to create this healthier menu with the same 37 pence budget．But the school chefs admit cooking healthy food isn't as easy as simply putting burgers and chips in the oven．
Then came the good news!The government has promised to spend￡280 million to improve school dinners across the country．Well done Jamie!This means that die national average cost will rise from 37p to 50p in primary schools and from 37p to 60p in secondary schools．
66．What does the author try to tell us in the first paragraph？B
    A．School meals in France are the most expensive in the world．
    B．British schools don't provide the students with healthy food．
    C．School meals in Britain are cheaper than those in France．
    D．British school meals include many kinds of healthy food．
67．British schools provide students with such meals becauseC
    A．most of the school children are too fat
    B．people show little concern about the health of schoolchildren
    C．schools don't have enough money
    D．schools don't want to spend much money
68．From the passage we can see thatD
    A．the British government ignores schoolchildren's health
    B．Jamie creates a healthy menu with the help of the government
    C．schoolchildren in Britain will have the best meals
    D．cooking healthy food is not an easy job
69．The good news for the British is thatD
    A．schoolchildren will have the best food in Britain
    B．the menu Jamie Oliver created is the best
    C．parents have begun to pay attention to children's food at school
    D．the government has begun to do something about the fact
70．What is the best title for this newspaper story？A
    A．A Healthier Menu for School Dinners
    B．Schoolchildren in Britain Can't Develop Properly
    C．Dinners Lacking Nutrients in School
    D．Schools with the Best Food．

About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me．I had come all the way into the countryside．The only thing left for me to do was find the nearest railway station．

The young man did so．Then the old man said，"There，it is the same with children．You must be strict with them，but sometimes you must untie the string to know how they are getting on．If they are not yet able to stand alone，you must tie the string tight again． But when you find that they are ready to stand alone，you can take the string away．"
