There are days when being a mom seems like one endless pop quiz. The baby's crying when she should be sleeping. Do you wait to see if she can stop crying herself or rush in to rock her? And if you choose the wrong option , could you scar your kid for life? 1.. We've listed the factors that really make a difference in your child's life.

Make him feel capable

You're probably an expert at praising and encouraging your kids. 2.If you see your child struggling to connect toy train tracks or do his homework, don't jump in to help right away. Instead, show him how to come up with his own solutions.

Sit down with your partner and discuss the qualities you'd both like to see your child develop. Kindness, tolerance, responsibility, honesty, and persistence are good for starters. The key is not just to talk about them but to live them.

Watch your words (and tone)

Even the most patient parent loses it occasionally. But if you're about to snap at your child, remember this guideline: Speak to her in the same respectful manner you'd talk to a friend or a coworker. 4.. And she'll always feel comfortable coming to you for help or guidance.

Kiss and tell

Many studies have shown that children who feel cherished by their parents tend to be more secure and self- confident than those who don't. "5.，” says Parents advisor Kyle Pruett, M. D. . Acts of affection will do more than reassure your child; they reduce negative and stressful feelings.

A. Let it be

B. Relax

C. Kids have a universal need to feel loved

D. If you do that, she'll be far more likely to listen

E. Share your values

F. Your child learns to cope with challenges by watching how you do it

G. However, if it is more difficult to stand back and let him handle problems on his own

I've been eating a high-Fat,carbohydrate(碳水化合物)-restricted diet for almost 20 years,since I started as an experiment when investigating nutrition research for the journal Science. I find if s easy for me to keep a healthy weight when I eat this way. But even after two decades, the feeling of being on the edge of a slippery slope is ever- present.

Researchers are generally divided on why we often fail to stay on diets and what causes obesity. The conventional thinking, held by the large proportion of the many researchers, is that obesity is an " energy balance" disorder,and so the treatment is to consume less energy ((fewer calories) ) and spend more. When we fail to keep this prescription, it suggests that we simply lack will power.

The minority position in this field—one that Dr. Ludwig holds, as do I after years of reporting—is that obesity is actually a hormondal(激素的)regulatory disorder, and the hormone that controls this process is insulin (胰岛素).It signals fat cells to gather fat,while telling the other cells in our body to bum carbohydrates for fuel. By this thinking these carbohydrates, particularly grains, known as high GI carbs, as well as sugars are likely to make you fat.

"Raise insulin levels even a little" , says Dr. Robert Lustig, a professor at the University of California, San Francisco,"and the body switches over from burning fat for fuel to burning carbohydrates. Once people who are 'carboholics,' get their insulin levels down, they become less carboholic. And if they start eating carbs, they go right back to where they were before. " Researchers like Dr. Ludwig and Dr. Lustig believe that a person can minimize these carbohydrate desire by eating lots of healthful fats instead.

Finally, any successful diet is by definition a long-term commitment. If we buy into the logic of carb -restricted diets, then it implies acceptance of a lifetime restriction.

1.What does the author feel like doing according to the last sentence of the first paragraph?

A.Keeping a healthy weight. B.Sticking to a good habit.

C.Stopping nutrition research. D.Breaking a diet

2.What does the author think lead to obesity?

A.Lack of exercise. B.Taking in too many carbs.

C.Lack of will power. D.Taking in too much calorie.

3.According to the text,what would Dr. Lustig advise carbholics to do?

A.Reduce carb intake to the least. B.Consult doctors immediately.

C.Consume as much fat as possible. D.Work out regularly.

4.What is the best title of the text?

A.Why is cutting carbs so tough? B.What does a healthy diet consist of?

C.Who are to believe,the majority or the minority? D.How can we lose weight?

William Phelps Eno (1858 - 1945 ) was an internationally recognized pioneer in traffic control and regulation. Named the "Father of Traffic Safety," 'Eno developed the first traffic plans for major cities including New York, London, and Paris, and is credited with helping to invent and popularize stop signs, taxi stands, pedestrian safety islands, and other traffic features commonly used throughout the world.

Eno started out in his family's real estate business, but his interest in transportation led him to concentrate his spare time on traffic reform. In 1899, at the age of 40, he left real estate behind and devoted the rest of his life to put his concepts for orderly transportation into practice. His "Rules of the Road," adopted by New York City in 1909, became the world's first city traffic plan. He also wrote the first-ever manual of police traffic regulations.

Eno gradually embraced multimodal transportation interests. He developed a plan for subways in New York City long before anyone else seriously considered the concept. He also became interested in maritime activities, supported railroad development, and started research in the 1920s on the future impact of avidtion(航空).

Eno died in 1945 at the age of 86. Ironically, he never drove a car during his lifetime. The Father of Traffic Safety,an enthusiastic horseback rider,distrusted automobiles.

In 1921, William P. Eno created a corporation whose purpose was to continue his lifetime's work—the promotion of safety on roads and highways. He sponsored the Foundation and began the work of attracting other transportation experts and specialists in order to provide a forum for unbiased discussions that would lead to improvements in the movement of people and goods.

Since 1921, the Foundation has undergone many changes. What began as a Foundation for Highway Traffic Regulation has now become an independent, non-profit think tank that works in federal transportation policy and transportation leadership development. What has not changed is Eno's constant presence in the world of transportation.

1.For what is William Phelps Eno well-known to the whole world ?

A.His pioneering work in ensuring traffic safety. B.His design of all traffic signs.

C.His research over the diversity of transportation. D.His contribution in inventing cars.

2.When was the first city traffic plan launched?

A.In 1909. B.In 1921. C.In 1945. D.In 1899.

3.Which of the following can best replace "ironically" in the fourth paragraph?

A.Humorously. B.Simply. C.Unexpectedly. D.Fortunately.

4.What role does the Foundation created by William play now?

A.Promoting improvements in federal transportation.

B.Sponsoring the poor who don't have cars.

C.Hosting international forums for experts and specialists.

D.Maintaining safety on roads and highways.

The spread of Internet learning for huge numbers of people is leading some colleges to offer MOOCs, Massive Open Online Courses. Major universities like Stanford in California and Harvard in Massachusetts have invested millions of dollars to help launch MOOCs.

Those schools and others may have heard an attention-getting prediction. The man who created the MOOC service Udacity says that in fifty years, only ten traditional universities will remain in the world. That prediction came from Sebastian Thrun, a computer scientist probably best known for his part in making Google's driverless car. He is still a research professor at Stanford University. But he left his teaching position at Stanford to help start Udacity ,a provider of MOOCs.

Universities that fail to join the movement for MOOCs may be worried about their chances of survival. Colleges also hope to gain more students and cut operational costs in return for their investments.

Moody's Investor Service predicts that MOOCs will help large, famous universities gain more students. It says schools that create content for MOOCs can earn money by providing the course material to smaller schools.

But the investment service is warning that smaller, less well-known colleges may suffer because of MOOCs. It says students may want to receive certificates from major universities instead of attending a local junior college that provides traditional credits.

Recently, the University of Washington said it was the first American university to offer credit for MOOCs, credit that could be used toward a degree from the school.

One criticism of MOOCs has been that most courses being offered are in science, mathematics and technology. But several courses in literature are now available.

Professor Nelson says, "How much MOOCs will change college life is still up in the air. I have been of the opinion which is what universities will evolve to do is to still present some traditional classes, but that universities in some sense will be integrated."

1.Why do some major colleges join in providing MOOCs?

A.To make profits through Internet learning. B.To survive in the Information Age.

C.To offer help to other smaller colleges. D.To attract more investments.

2.What did Sebastian Thrun predict about future college life?

A.Many traditional universities will disappear.

B.Lectures will be given by Al rather than professors.

C.People don't have to receive education.

D.Traditional courses will be entirely replaced by MOOCs.

3.What used to be the disadvantage of MOOCs?

A.They were demanding for students. B.They were not friendly to students of arts.

C.They were not acknowledged by most colleges. D.They were expensive for students to use.

4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph ?

A.More traditional courses will be given in colleges.

B.Students from different universities will study together.

C.The impact of MOOCs on college life is not sure.

D.Professor Nelson is not in favor of MOOCs.

I'm worried that you've been addicted to share pictures in WeChat circle recently. You even share all sorts of photo in your daily life. Of course, WeChat makes better to understand each other and makes our life more colorful, which is very convenient for us to communicate. Therefore, there exist some potential trouble if we overshare. One severe problem is leaking privacy, that may cause economic losses. Besides, oversharing can make others uncomfortably, for they think you are showing off.

Thus, neither should we post our personal information, or should we blindly add strangers in the list of friends. It's much wise to set aside some time to accompany parents or do something more meaningful, such as reading books or taking exercise.

It’s often said that your parents’ job is to make sure that one day you no longer need them. And that’s certainly the case by the time you have kids of your own. However, this is precisely the time when your parents start to need you. How do you talk to your aging parents about their health? 1., but these tips make it easier.

Before a conversation, you had better establish yourself as a friend, not an enemy. Always start with an “I” statement, not a “you should” statement. 2..

Scientists recommend beginning a conversation about something you’re doing—taking up yoga to stay slim, for instance. 3.. And you can even have her commit to doing it with you. When you’re a friend day-to-day, your parents will trust you and be able to depend on you during a health crisis.

4.. Start by equipping them with a smartphone that’s designed for seniors. Staying in close phone contact will keep you informed of any arising health issues. It will help you pick up on faults in their memory, too.

Your parents are your parents until they’re gone. Do not treat them like children. Even if you find that there’s an emergency going on, you can make suggestions, but they have the right to make decisions, especially if there’s no cognitive (认知的) disorder. 5., helping your parents in their later years is the least you can do. With the proper measures and technology, it can get easier and feel even more rewarding.

A. Just as they have been there for you

B. It may not be a simple conversation to have

C. It can mean changes in your parents’ schedule

D. Scientists also suggests phoning your parents regularly

E. That can lead to asking your mom what she’s doing to keep fit

F. Talk about affairs about yourself first, then extend them to your parents

G. Scientists recommend opening the door to dialogue instead of calling them

It is a question that has long puzzled scientists—exactly why are tigers orange? One might think it makes them more obvious-particularly against a leafy green forest background. William Blake summed it up in his famous poem known by generations of schoolchildren: “Tyger, tyger, burning bright / In the forest of the night.” But now the answer is at hand.

While obvious to us, computer simulations (模拟) of what the big cats look to the main animals they hunt for, deer, show a different picture. Humans with normal colour vision, can see red, blue and green colours. But deer can only pick up blue and green light, they are effectively colourblind to the colour red, like some humans. It means the tigers’ orange colouration looks green to them, allowing them to mix perfectly into the background, new research claims.

Dr John Fennell at the University of Bristol and colleagues said that they used computers to estimate how noticeable a given animal was. They did this by using images of the environment in which the animal lives, and then creating images to see whether the camouflage helps the animal to mix in.

Dr Fennell writes that by simulating what the world looks like to animals who are “two-colour vision”—someone who cannot discover the difference between red and green—“we also identify the most suitable colours for hiding and visibility”.

Dr Fennell writes in the Royal Society Journal Inter face: “Considering the coat of a tiger, it has fur that appears orange to a three-colour vision observer rather than some shade of green, though the latter should be more appropriate color for an attack hunter in forests. However, when viewed as a two-colour vision observer, the tiger’s colour is very effective.”

The question then arises as to why tigers don’t grow green coats. Dr Fennell and colleagues write that mammals (哺乳动物) are not able to produce green fur. To do so would “require a significant change to mammalian biochemistry”. There is only one mammal known to have green fur but this is achieved through what might be considered as, well, cheating, not exactly real.

Sunny days in Seattle are quite rare. I’d planned to spend my weekend in the sun, potting flowers outdoors. But that was before the pair of crows（乌鸦） arrived. Out of nowhere, they had set up their base camp in our backyard.

We first discovered our feathered enemies on Friday morning. It was early, and the sound the birds made traveled through our neighborhood. I figured they’d go away soon. But, no. They were getting louder and probably annoying my neighbors nearly as much as us with the noise. I admit I got a little desperate.

Then, on Sunday afternoon, I looked out of the kitchen window to see our dog Quatchi staring at something on the ground. I went to explore and found a small coal-black bird in the grass. Its eyes were milky, and it stayed perfectly still as my dog walked towards it. Only when Quatchi touched his nose to its head did it walk away. I grabbed the dog and locked him inside and came back with my camera.

It never occurred to me that the young would be hanging out on the ground, growing and gaining strength as its parents guarded it from above. The second I saw this little creature I forgave the crows.

To be honest, I’ve never been much of a bird person. I also have a healthy respect for birds and by healthy, I mean slightly fear-based. They’re basically living dinosaurs.

I wish they’d chosen another backyard. There are only so many sunny days in Seattle, and I still can’t do any gardening out there. But I’m also grateful that I got to see this little bit of nature unfold up close. It’s pretty amazing.

The experience has also strengthened my desire to create a beautiful backyard garden that attracts lots of bees, butterflies, and yes, birds. They are welcome here.

For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.

“It’s no secret that China has always been a source(来源) of inspiration for designers,” says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚) shows.

Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.

“China is impossible to overlook,” says Hill. “Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion — they are central to its movement.” Of course, not only are today’s top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. “Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales,” adds Hill.

For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. “The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers,” she says. “China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.”

1.What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?

A.It promoted the sales of artworks. B.It attracted a large number of visitors.

C.It showed ancient Chinese clothes. D.It aimed to introduce Chinese models.

2.What does Hill say about Chinese women?

A.They are setting the fashion. B.They start many fashion campaigns.

C.They admire super models. D.They do business all over the world.

3.What do the underlined words “taking on” in paragraph 4 mean?

A.learning from B.looking down on C.working with D.competing against

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Young Models Selling Dreams to the World

B.A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New York

C.Differences Between Eastern and Western Aesthetics

D.Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends
