11．It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable when they are with their parents．They say that their parents don't understand them．They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways，that they are too serious and too strict with their children，and that they seldom give their children a free hand．
It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children's trust and they tend（傾向） to forget how they themselves felt when young．
For example，young people like to act on the spot without much thinking．It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation．Old people worry more easily．Most of them plan things in advance，at least in the back of their minds，and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected．
When you want your parents to let you do something，you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it．
Young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes，in entertainment and in music．But they do not mean to cause any trouble； it is just that they feel cut off from the older people's world，into which they have not yet been accepted．That's why young people want to make a new culture of their own，and if their parents don't like their music or entertainment or clothes or their way of speech，this will make the young people extremely happy．
Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say"yes"to what you do．All you want is to be left alone and do what you like．It is natural enough，after being a child for so many years，when you were completely under your parents'control．
If you prefer to control your life，you'd better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you．If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility，they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do．
 
32．According to the text，young people prefer toD．
A．a(chǎn)sk for advice before they really start to do anything
B．think in the same way as their p arents do
C．be very strict with themselves
D．do things without thinking carefully ahead
33．Why do young people like to have clothes，entertainment and music in their way？A

B．Because they try to get their parents to be proud of them．
C．Because they want to give their parents a big surprise．

10．Students who say they never or hardly ever use dictionaries often speak English well but usually write poorly，because they make many mistakes．
The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either．The ones who look up every new word do not read fast．Therefore they do not have time to read much．Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems．Their dictionaries often giv e only one or two words as translations of English．But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English．
The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100，000 words but do not use them too often．When they are reading，these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context（上下文語(yǔ)境）．Then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand．They use dictionaries more for writing．If they are not sure how to spell a word，or divide it into syllables （音節(jié)），they always use a dictionary．Also，if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form（復(fù)數(shù)形式），they check these in a dictionary．

9．A few years ago，I took a sightseeing trip to Washington D．C．I saw many of our nation's treasures，and I also saw a lot of unfortunate people like beggars and homeless folks（人們）in the streets．
Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center，I heard a voice say，"Can you help me？"When I turned around，I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended（伸出）．In a natural reaction，I reached into my pocket，pulled out all of my loose change and placed it in her hand．I didn't even look at her．I was annoyed（生氣） at being bothered（煩） by a beggar．
But the blind woman smiled and said，"I don't want your money．I just need help finding the post office．"
Immediately，I realized what I had do ne．I acted with prejudice（偏見(jiàn)）-I judged another person simply for what I thought she was．
The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant．I left Honduras and arrived in America at the age of 15．Through the years，I have been a dishwasher，cashier，mechanic and pizza delivery driver among many other jobs，and finally I became a network engineer．
In my own life，I have experienced many open acts of prejudice．I remember a time，at age 17-I was a busboy，and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well at school，he would end up like me．
But now，living in my American middle-class lifestyle，it is too easy to forget my past，to forget who I am and where I have been，and to lose sight of where I want to be going．That blind woman on the street of Washington D．C．cured（治愈） me of my blindness．She reminded me to always keep my eyes and heart open．

7．A long-term American study shows the importance of early education for poor children．The study is known as the Abecedarian Project．It involved more than one-hundred young children from poor families in North Carolina．
Half of the children attended an all-day program at a high-quality child-care center．The center offered educational，health and social programs．Children took part in games and activities to increase their thinking and language skills and social and emotional development．The program also included health foods for the children．
The children attended the program from when they were a few weeks old until the age of five years．The other group of children did not attend the child-care center．After the age of five，both groups attended public school．
Researchers compared the two groups of children．When they were babies，both groups had similar results in tests for mental and physical skills．However，from the age of eighteen months，the children in the educational child-care program did much better in tests．
The researchers tested the children again when they were twelve and fifteen years old．The tests found that the children who had been in the child-care center continued to have higher average test results．These children did much better on tests of reading and mathematics．
A few years ago，organizers of the Abecedarian Project tested the students again．At the time，each student was twenty-one years old．They were tested for thinking and educational ability，employment，parenting and social skills．The researchers found that the young adults who had the early education still did better in reading and mathematics tests．They were more than two times as likely to be attending college or to have completed college．In addition，the children who received early education were older on average，when their first child was born．
The study offers more evidence that learning during the first months and years of life is important for all later development．
The researchers of the Abecedarian Project believe their study shows a need for lawmakers to spend money on public early education．They believe these kinds of programs could reduce the number of children who do not complete school and are unemployed．

B．get more help from other people
C．have no parenting or social skills
D．a(chǎn)re poorer at reading and mathematics

5．During the Second World War，I met a housewife from Chicago who told me how she discovered for herself that"the （41）C  for worry is to get completely occupied doing something constructive．''I met this woman and her （42）A in the dining car while l was （43）C  from New York to my farm in Missouri．
This couple told me that their son had （44）B the armed forces the day after the attack on Pearl Harbor．The woman told me that she had （45）D  ruined her health worrying over that only son．Where was he？Was he（46）D？Would he be wounded or even （47）B？
When I asked her how she（48）B her worry，she replied："I got busy（49）A．"She told me that at first she had（50）C  her servant and done all her housework （51）C．But that didn't help much．"The trouble was，"she said，"that I could do my housework almost mechanically（機(jī)械地）and found it（52）A．So I（53）B  worrying．Then I realized I needed some （54）D  kind of work that would keep me busy both mentally and physically．So I took a job as a （55）Din a store．"
"That did it，"she said．"I immediately found myself（56）A  in a lot of activities：customers crowding around me，asking for prices，sizes，colors．Never a second to think of （57）C except my immediate duty．And when night came，I was（58）A  and could think of nothing except getting off my aching feet．As soon as I ate dinner，I fell into bed and instantly became（59）B．I had neither the time nor the （60）C  to worry．"

4．Determination is the quality you show when you've decided to do something and you won't let anything stop you．There are different kinds of determination．（36）B It means you work hard to finish a difficult task to achieve your goals despite obstacles．Another one is coasting determination，which means you're putting off short-term satisfaction for success of long-term goals．For example，there is someone who is saving money for a big trip．（37）DDefine success for yourself．Being determined is a skill that can be learned．To achieve it，firstly，you need to define success for yourself．You can ask yourself questions like：how do you want people to see you？How would you like to make an impact？（38）E
（39）F Once you know what success means to you，you will need to come up with goals that will help you achieve that success．It's better to have a combination of big goals and small ones．Once you've worked out what you want to achieve，it's time to figure out exactly how you can achieve your goals．
Remove negative thinking．It is a must．（40）C For example：if you find yourself thinking"I'm so weak that I can't even do one push-up，"change that thought．Instead，you should think，"My goal is to be super strong and I'm working on doing push-ups．"More importantly，you should not only be focusing on the things that need to be improved，but also figuring out your strong points and how to use those to help you succeed．

A．So learn to identify the negative language you use．
B．One kind of them is uphill determination．
C．Determination helps you solve these problems．
D．Instead of going out to dinner，he saves the money to reach his long-term goal．
E．These questions will help you figure out what success means to you．
F．Set your personal goals．
G．Work hard to achieve your goals．

3．April 22^nd every year marks the start of Earth Day，a day that is celebrated every year to raise awareness（意識(shí)）about our home planet and how we can save it from being damaged．（36）C
1．Green up your home
This is one of the most common things that people do whenever Earth Day rolls around，that is，switch off their lights．（37）FConserve （節(jié)約）energy by switching off all power of electricity points whenever they are not on use．In addition，take out all the plugs（插頭） from plug points even after switching them off．
2．（38）E
Cars，being the greatest source of air pollution，can be left at home this weekend．（39）AOther greener choices are carpooling，riding a bike or you can also walk if you want a healthier choice and if your workplace is not that far away from your home．
3．Be a little dirty
No，we don't mean it‘that way'．We simply mean to say，don't take a bath．Yes，saving water is super important．A day or two without a bath won't harm you，but it will certainly do a lot of good for our planet．A daily shower isn't a matter of health； it's a matter of comfort．（40）B
The future of our planet is in your hands!

A．Traveling by public transport is the better choice．
B．Showering every day can wash away the natural oils that our skin and hair need．
C．Below，we have made a list of things you can do to celebrate Earth Day．
D．Do something every day that will improve your surroundings to make the planet a better place to live．
E．Leave your cars at home．
F．However，this is not something you should do just for a day or for only an hour．
G．Started in the year 1970，Earth Day is now celebrated in more than 190countries each year．

2．Maybe you are an ordinary student．（36）BThis is not necessarily so．Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to．Here's how：
Plan your time carefully．When planning your work，you should make a list of things that you have to do．After making this list，you should make a schedule of your time．First arrange your time for eating，sleeping，dressing，etc，then decide a good，regular time for studying．（37）CA weekly schedule may not solve all your problems，but it will force you realize what is happening to your time．
Make good use of your time in class．（38）FListening carefully in class means less work later．Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says．
Study regularly．When you get home from school，go over your notes，review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day，read that material．（39）AIf you do these things regularly，the material will become more meaningful，and you will remember it longer．
Develop a good attitude towards tests．The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject．The world won't end if you don't pass a test，so don't be over-worried．
（40）EYou will probably discover many others after you have tried these．

A．This will help you understand the next class．
B．You probably think you will never be a top student．
C．Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment．
D．No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard．
E．There are other methods that might help you with your study．
F．Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says．
G．Make full use of spare time to take note of what the teacher says in class．
