Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. "The door to his room is always shut." Joanna noted.
Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. "She used to sit in my arms on the sofa and talk with me," said Mark. "Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which."
Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what's on their minds. "In fact, parents are first on the list." said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. "This completely changes during the teen years." Riera explained. "They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last."
Parents who know what's going on in their teenagers' lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.
小題1:"The door to his room is always shut" suggests that the son_______.
A．is always busy with his studies
B．doesn't want to be disturbed
C．keeps himself away from his parents
D．begins to dislike his parents
小題2:What troubles Tina and Mark most is that _______.
A．their daughter isn't as lovely as before
B．they can't read their daughter's mind exactly
C．they don't know what to say to their daughter
D．their daughter talks with them only when she needs help
小題3:which of the following best explains "the wall of silence" in the last paragraph?
A．Teenagers talk a lot with their friends.
B．Teenagers do not want to understand their parents.
C．Teenagers do not talk much with their parents.
D．Teenagers talk little about their own lives.
小題4:What can be learned from the passage?
A．Parents are unhappy with their growing children.
B．Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers.
C．Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers.
D．Parents should try to understand their teenagers.

小題1:C

小題4:細(xì)節(jié)題。從最后一段Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.可知父母親應(yīng)該和他們的孩子成為朋友，盡力去理解他們，故選D

In China, the National Holiday is a big festival and it is to celebrate the founding of the People's Republic of China by Mao Zedong in 1949.Besides from the Spring Festival, the National Holiday is the only other week-long public break from school and work.
As one of the only opportunities  for workers to go home, visit their families or to travel around the country, all hotels, tourist attractions, trains, buses and airplanes around the country are completely packed with holidaying Chinese people.
Are you sorry for not traveling during the National Day ? If you stay at home at that time, I think you are very lucky. Why? Because there are too many people everywhere. In many places of interest in China, it’s too crowded to do anything.

In the photo, we hardly found him out, there were too many people.
So some people give the advice that we should not have the gold week any more. But other people say no about this advice. What’s your idea of it? Are you sorry now for not traveling during the gold week? I love staying at home more than traveling next National Day.

It’s interesting that the arrival of snow has a different effect on people in different countries. For some countries it is an important happening to celebrate each year, while for others it is a catastrophe (災(zāi)難) or even a wonder.
There are countries between these two extremes (極端) that normally expect snow some time over the winter months, but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities(數(shù)量) every year. Britain is one such country, for which the arrival of snow quite simply creates problems. Within hours of the first snowfall, however light, roads are blocked, trains and buses stop in the middle of traffic. Normal communications are affected as well, telephone calls become difficult and the post immediately takes more time than usual. Almost within hours, there are also shortages(不足) -- bread, vegetables and other things -- not because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops, but mainly because people are frightened, and go out to store up these commodities (日用品), “just for fear that something bad should happen.”
Why then does snow have this effect? After all, the Swiss, Austrians and Canadians don’t have such problems. It is simply because there is not enough planning and preparation. We need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice. To keep the roads clear, for example, requires snow ploughs and machines to spread salt. The reason why a country like Britain does not buy some ploughs is that they are only used for a few days in any one year, and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospitals, education or helping the old.
小題1:According to the writer, Britain is a country____.
A．which has regular snowB．which is not well prepared for snow
C．for which snow is not a problemD．for which snow is a wonder
小題2:The arrival of snow in Britain affects all of the following except____
A．trafficB．communicationC．food suppliesD．service quality
小題3:After a few hours’ snowing there are often shortages of food because______
A．shops have closed downB．people buy as much as they can
C．farmers can’t produce any moreD．people eat more vegetables in winter
小題4:The first reason that the British don’t buy snow ploughs is that______
A．spreading salt is good enoughB．old people need more money
C．snow ploughs are not used oftenD．the hospital is more important

Bicycles, a long-forgotten vehicle that seems to belong to the last century, are returning to the streets of Guangzhou, as the city starts to ban the running of motorcycle in urban Guangzhou.
“Business has never been so good for my shop,” said Chen Yongwu, a bicycle shop owner at the city’s Donghua West Road, “I have to work 12 hours a day to meet the demand of my customers. ”
“Even my wife and brother-in-law have to give me a hand lately. ”
Chen originally ran a motorcycle repair shop.  He grasped the opportunity of the motorcycle ban, and started his bicycle business soon after hearing about the banning.
“I sold 23 bicycles on January 2 alone. ” Said Chen.

“So I decided to buy a bicycle. ”
The bicycle costs around 600 yuan, which is equal to the bus fare of half a year.
“Besides, riding a bicycle to work is much healthier than riding a bus. ”

“I was so frightened at the time, because the bus nearly hit me. ”
The sideways in Guangzhou are usually crowded with foot passengers, so citizens also could not use the sideways.

Today almost everyone knows computers and the Internet. If I ask you “What is the most important thing in your life?” maybe you will say “Computers and the Internet”.
The first computer was made in 1946. It was very big but it worked slowly.. Today, computers are getting smaller and smaller, but they work faster and faster. What can computers do? A writer has said, “People can't live without computers today.”
The Internet came a little later than computers. It is about 25 years later than computers. But now it can be found almost everywhere. We can use it to read books, send e-mails, do some shopping, play games or make friends.             
Young men, especially the middle school students like the Internet very much. They often go into the Internet bars as soon as they are free. They make friends on the Internet and maybe they have never seen these friends. They don't know their names, ages and sex. They are so interested in making the “unreal friends” that they can't put their heart into study. Some of them play the games in the Internet bars all day and all night. Many of them can't catch up with others in many subjects because of that.
Now the government has done many things. Some gangster Internet bars(黑網(wǎng)吧)have been banned. But that's not enough. The teachers and parents are still worrying about their students and children.
