    Whether you' re a child, teenager, young adult or are middle-aged, respect for your parents is an important value. Your parents are the people who raised you, devoting time, energy and money to your development. 1. No matter your age is, there are 5 ways to show respect.

●Respect their belongings.

One important way to show respect is to show regard for the things important to your parents. For younger children, this may mean not touching jewelry or other valuable things. For grown children, respect may mean returning a borrowed tool in good condition and on time. Lack of respect for a parent's belongings is a violation of personal boundaries. 2.— And never borrow things without asking first.

●Punctuality .

3. Therefore, always be on time. For teenagers, showing up on time means coming home by curfew （宵禁）.Adult children should show up on time for family dinners or events, or to pick a parent up for a medical appointment. Call if you're going to be late because parents worry about children, no matter their age is.

●4.

Remembering birthdays, anniversaries and other special days is a sign that you honor your parents. Make plans to take them to lunch or dinner or bake a cake or cookies. Most parents don't expect expensive gifts, but a handmade gift is always appreciated .A phone call from a grown child who lives too far for a visit is a welcome sign of respect.

●Be kind.

Kind words and affection are simple ways to show respect. Tell your parents you love them. Listen and allow your parents to speak without interruption. Show a sincere interest in what your parents have to say. Be patient with your parents and don't rush them. Never talk back or be rude or disrespectful. Acknowledge your parents' achievements. 5.

A.Celebrate with them.

B.Be a good listener.

C.Don't take advantage of your parents' kindness and generosity.

D.Treat your parents the way you would like to be treated.

E.Being respectful helps build positive relationships with others.

F.And they love you unconditionally throughout your life.

G.Lateness indicates a lack of respect.

    It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest man would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter.

Road politeness is not only good manners, but a good sense. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behavior of politeness is anything but enough. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.

However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. A typical example is the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.

An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in a traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship(公路驾车技能). Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take(互谅互让)from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.

1.The passage mainly talks about _________.

A.traffic jams B.good manners C.road politeness D.modern drivers

2.Troubles on the road are often caused by _________.

A.traffic jams B.the behavior of the drivers

C.the great speed of modern life D.terrible road conditions

3.What does the underlined word “anything but” in the second paragraph mean?

A.in no way B.by coincidence C.in particular D.in effect

4.It is not always right for drivers to _________.

A.master the roadmanship

B.neglect politeness when they see it

C.give a friendly nod in answer to an act of politeness

D.encourage old ladies to cross the road whenever and wherever they want to

    British people work some of the longest hours in Europe, but are among the least productive. Now some companies are shortening the working week to increase efficiency, health and happiness.

Rich Leigh has introduced a four-day week at his PR company. In fact, his entire company has Friday off, because his firm has adopted a four-day week. It is one of several UK businesses that now operate like this: staff still get paid their previous five-day salary, but they work a day less. The company found that they achieved just as much-and there were even signs of growth. “The key to the scheme’s success,” Leigh says, “is how happy our employees now are.”

The average British worker takes only a 34 minute lunch break and works 10 hours overtime each week (more often than not this is unpaid). Yet UK productivity falls seriously behind their European neighbors, who tend to work fewer hours.

British working practices have caused loss and damage to the nation’s health and happiness. More than half a million workers in the UK were signed off with work-related stress or anxiety last year. Moreover, the work landscape itself is changing. Automation and AI will have a significant impact on the labor market, where unsteady work becomes more common.

Britain is the only EU member that allows workers to ignore the EU working time limit and work longer hours. For campaigners, now is the time for a change. O’Grady, an advocate, argues that where businesses have increased their profits (利润)as a result of automation, success should be shared with workers in the form of reduced hours. “It’s time to share the benefits from new technology, not allowing those at the top to grab them for themselves.” she says.

1.We can learn from the passage that ________.

A.British people are the least productive in the world

B.Most companies in Britain have conducted a four-day week

C.PR company has witnessed a rise in employees’ happiness

D.British people work longer and get more payment than other countries

2.Which is the proper description of British working practices?

A.The working time of British workers is within the EU limit.

B.In productivity, Britain is beaten by the United States.

C.Profits gained from new technology are on the decrease.

D.Automation and AI are likely to cause an unsteady work market.

3.Which can be inferred from O’Grady’ s words in the last paragraph?

A.It’s time for employers to share the increased profits created by automation.

B.Workers should benefit from automation in the form of less working hours.

C.New technology should belong to both businesses and workers.

D.Businesses can’t make more profits without new technology.

4.What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?

A.To introduce some British firms’ switch to a four-day working week.

B.To explain the reasons why British workers suffer stress and anxiety.

C.To appeal for more reasonable working conditions.

D.To show the present productivity problem in Britain.

The Boy Made It!

One Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.

Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all of the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.

He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow. If he didn’t, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him.

Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.

By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could he huddled (蜷缩) in his cave and slept.

The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn’t find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved.

Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls’ survival show Man vs. Wild. That’s where he learned the tips that saved his life. In each episode (一期节目) of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.

When Gxrylls heard about Nicholas’ amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.

    Learning a foreign language isn’t easy, but some people can learn it well if they’re willing to put in the necessary time. 1.

Study every day

Language learning is a process of accumulation (积累过程). 2. Study one or two hours out of class every day if you want a good mark.

Distribute (分配) your study time properly

Study a different task each time. Get an overview during half an hour: spend 10 minutes learning new vocabulary; 10 minutes learning new grammar; 10 minutes reading through the text. So you’ll at least have looked at it all.

Take part in every class

3. Learn the grammar and vocabulary outside of class in order to make full use of the class time. If you are active at class and try to perform well, you’ll make progress quickly.

Learn grammar if you don’t already know it

Grammar is the skeleton (骨架) and the basic structure of a language. If you haven’t learned about it, you will meet problems with reading and understanding.4.

Develop a good attitude

Have a clear personal reason for taking the class. 5. Leave perfectionism at the door; give yourself permission to make mistakes and learn from them.

A.You cannot put it off until tomorrow.

B.You cannot succeed if you lose heart.

C.So it is necessary for you to learn grammar.

D.Class time is your best opportunity to practice.

E.Here are some practical suggestions for studying effectively (有效).

F.Set personal goals for what you want to learn.

G.Form a good habit of learning a foreign language.

    You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people could live to be 150, so at 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging medicine. Now, all three of you look the same age!

You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change your clothes’ color.

You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says, “You shouldn’t drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip that contains information about the milk, and it knows the milk is out of date. In 2035, every article of food in the store has such a chip.

It’s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all around you.

So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed” says scientist Andrew Zoll, “it has to be so much better than it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one example—what will be the next?

1.In 2035, many people could live to be 150 because of ________.

B.people will never get old

C.clothes can change the color by themselves

D.people can get fresh milk anytime from the fridge

4.What would be the best title?

A.Food and Clothing in 2035

B.Welcome to Your Future Life!

C.Medical Technology of the Future

D.What Will Be the Next?

    Music plays an important part in our lives. Music is for dancing, drinking, eating, loving and thinking. Some songs remind us of our childhood or youth. Others remind us of the people we love. Many important occasions (场合), like weddings and funerals, have special music. Every nation has a national song like the Chinese “MARCH of the VOLUNTEERS”

In the US, high schools and colleges have school songs too. Music is a part of the history of America. It expresses the problems and feelings of its people.

As the years go on, the music grows and changes. Modern science has also changed music. Inventions such as records, radios, movies, electric instruments, tape recorders and videos have changed the way we play and listen to music. They have helped to make music an important form of international communication.

American music, from the earliest folk songs to modern “pop”, is known around the world. Music is one of America's most important exports. It stands for a living history of America. And it brings the people of the world together. Even when people don’t understand the same language, they can share in the same music.

Many people learn and practice English by singing songs. Understanding American music can help you understand American people, their history and culture. So, as the song says, “Put a dime in the jukebox (自动点唱机), baby.” Let’s listen to the music!

    When my son, Tony, was 11 years old, he got a small job helping out with a traveling carnival (狂欢节) in our town. He didn’t come home at lunchtime and got back for supper as usual after he finished his work.

I asked him where he had lunch and he told me he made some new friends at the carnival, some young men who were twin brothers, and their mom and dad. They had paid him a few dollars and invited him for lunch in return for helping them with their chores (杂务).

I was glad Tony found new friends but a little worried about the type of people who might be traveling in a carnival. “Oh, Mom, they’re normal people like anyone else. They just work at a carnival instead of in a store or something”. “Come down tomorrow and meet them yourself,” he said.

So the next day I went to the carnival. The twin brothers turned out to be Siamese (连体的) twins, joined at the chest. Tony didn’t think this fact was noteworthy enough to mention. When I brought it to him, he said, “Yes, I noticed that too. Do you know that their mom has to make all their clothes because it's so difficult to find anything to fit them? They’re also really good cooks. Today, Joe,the one on the right, made me spaghetti (意大利面条) for lunch.”

What others see first in a person is not what a child considers important. Where I saw Siamese twins, he saw people having difficulty buying clothes that fit, and young men who were good cooks. It was a lesson I have thought about many times over the years.

1.Why didn’t Tony go home for lunch?

A.Because his mother hoped not.

B.Because he wanted to have a rest.

C.Because his friends invited him for lunch. .

D.Because he had to finish the work before noon.

2.The author was pleased that ________.

A.her son found a small job and made money
