The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on well with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly-held image of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more
harmonious than it had ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seem to be about their families,” said one number of the research team. “They’re expected to be rebellious and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds: they want a car and material goods, and t hey worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat.”
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-year-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I’m going out club bing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with me.” Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out o n a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”
Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher co mments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over. ”
【小题1】What is the popular image of the teenagers today？
A. They worry about school.
B. They dislike living with their parents.
C. They have to be locked in to avoid troubles.
D. They quarrel a lot with other family members.
【小题2】The study shows that teenagers don’t want to __________.
A. share family responsibility
B. cause trouble in their families
C. go boating with their family
D. make family decisions
【小题3】Compared with parents of 30 years ago, today’s parents ____________.
A. go to clubs more often with their children
B. are much stricter with their children
C. care less about their children’s life
D. give their children more freedom
【小题4】According to the writer, teenage rebellion __________.
A. may be a false belief
B. is common nowadays
C. existed only in the 1960s
D. resulted from changes in families
【小题5】What is the passage mainly about？
A. Negotiation in family.
B. Education in family.
C. Harmony in family.
D. Teenage trouble in family.

Why do human beings still risk their lives under ground and doing one of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs in the world? It is an increasingly urgent question, given the recent mining accidents in Sago, W. Va and Huntington, Utah. A small group of engineers and robotics experts look forward to a day in the not-too-distant future when robots and other technology do most of the dangerous mining work.
Robotic technology, in particular, holds much promise, McAteer says, especially when it comes to mapping mines and rescuing trapped miners --- the special operations of the mining industry. One of the first mining robots was developed five years ago at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute. It was called Groundhog. It used lasers(激光器) to “see” in dark tunnels and map abandoned mines—some of the most dangerous work in the business.
The latest design is called Cave Crawler. It’s a bit smaller than Groundhog，and even more advanced. It can take photos and videos and has more sensors that can detect the presence of dangerous gases. Incredibly，the robot has a real sense of logic. If it comes across an obstacle it gets momentarily confused. It has to think about what to do and where to go next. Sometimes it throws a fit just like a real person.
The greatest problem, though, is cost. The money of the earliest research project was provided by the government, but that money had dried up, and it’s not clear where future money will come from. Partly for that reason, and partly because of advances in safety, mining is not nearly as dangerous as it was in the past. Since 1990, fatalities(致命性) have declined by 67% and injuries by 51% , according to the National Mining Association.
Some experts predict that robots in mines will serve much of the same function that they do in the automotive industry. The robots do the most boring and dangerous jobs，but won’t get rid of the need for human workers.
【小题1】The latest robot is more advanced than Groundhog, mainly because ____.
A. it can map abandoned mines
B. it can see in the dark tunnels
C. it’s smaller than Groundhog
D. it has a real sense of logic
【小题2】The underlined phrase “throws a fit” in paragraph 4 probably means“______”
A. gets angry
B. gets sick
C. becomes hungry
D. becomes cheerful
【小题3】We can infer from the last paragraph that _____ .
A. robots in mines will serve much in the automotive industry
B. there will be no need for human workers in mines
C. the mine robots will have a very bright future
D. robots in mines only do some simple jobs now
【小题4】We can infer from the text that ______.
A. the mining robots do most of the mining work at present
B. groundhog can discover the presence of dangerous gases
C. experts are trying to make robots help miners with dangerous work
D. robots cannot do dangerous work in dark areas
【小题5】What can be the best title for the text?
A. Mining Accidents in America
B. Robots in Mines
C. Cave crawler, the Latest Robot
D. The Future of Robots
【小题5】标题确定题：从文章第一段的句子：A small group of engineers and robotics experts look forward to a day in the not-too-distant future when robots and other technology do most of the dangerous mining work.可知这篇文章讲的是研究人员正研究在矿场工作代替工人做危险的工作的机器人，所以选B

In a world as fast-changing and full of information as our own, all of us need to know how to learn well. Yet evidence suggests that most of us don’t use the learning techniques that science has proved the most effective.
The scientific literature evaluating these techniques goes back to decades and across thousands of articles. It’s far too extensive and complex for the average parent, te acher or employer to look through. Fortunately, a team of five leading psychologists have done the job for us. Professor John Dunlosky and other psychologists closely examined 10 learning strategies and rated each from high to low utility(实用) on the basis of the evidence they’ve gathered. Here’s part of their conclusions:
In contrast to familiar practices, the effective learning strategies with the most evidence to support them aren’t well known outside the lab. Take distributed practice, for example. This strategy involves spreading out your study time, rather than engaging in one marathon. Cramming (死记硬背）information at the last minute may allow you to get through that test or meeting, but
the material will quickly disappear from your memory. It’s much mor e effective to look through the material at intervals over time.
And the longer you want to remember the information, whether it’s two weeks or two years, the longer the intervals should be.
The second learning strategy that is highly recommended by Dunlosky is practice testing. Yes, more tests---but there not for a grade. Research shows that the mere act of calling information to mind strengthens that knowledge and aids in future retrieval (检索). While practice testing is not a common strategy---despite the strong evidence supporting it ---there is one familiar approach that captures its benefits: using flash cards. And now flash cards can be presented in digital form. Both distributed practice and practice testing were rated as having “high utility” by Dunlosky.
【小题1】How did the psychologists study and rate the learning strategies?
A. By analyzing the materials gathered in the past years.
B. By asking some students questions about their study.
C. By doing some experiments on the objects in the lab.
D. By asking parents and teachers to look through the articles.
【小题2】The underlined word “extensive” in Para.2 means _____.
A. small in amount
B. easy or quick to do
C. more than is needed
D. dealing with a lot of information
【小题3】About di stributed practice and practice testing, it’s true that _____.
A. many students have benefited a lot from them
B. they were first put forward by John Dunlosky
C. only a small number of experts know about them
D. psychologists are studying whether they are effective
【小题4】The strategy of distributed practice shows that ______.
A. we should not study for long hours every day
B. reviewing what we have studied is of little help
C. the shorter the interval is, the better we’ll study
D. doing repetition at intervals is the best way
【小题5】The evidence shows that the strategy of practice testing ______.
A. is a way to use flash cards to help study
B. is mainly used to help us remember well
C. helps know about students’ grades in time
D. is a way widely used to strengthen memory

Speaking comes to most people as naturally as breathing. On many occasions our words are expressed without conscious thought; in fact we rarely stop and think about what we are saying. Thousands of words pour out of our mouths each day as our thoughts, opinions, judgments and beliefs are freely conveyed. Often, however, we are unconscious of the positive or negative effect which these words have on ourselves and the people around us.
Words have tremendous power. Words give out energy and a message which creates a reaction in others. Everything you say produces an effect in the world. Whatever you say to someone else will produce some kind of an effect in that person. We are constantly creating something, either positive or negative with our words.
An important key to success in life is to understand the power of words. A word is a permanent thought. Our thoughts do have a great effect on us even though they are internal. What we think affects the way we live our life, and affects our emotions, our attitudes and our behaviour. A thought spoken, however, has even more power. It can never be taken back ; it is out of our mouth and will have an effect. Our words have even more power than our thoughts because they not only affect ourselves, but the people and the world around us.
Successful people take control of their words, rather than letting their words control them. They are more conscious of their thoughts and words and the power they produce. Successful people understand that they need to speak positively rather than negatively in order to see success. Successful people are characterized by the words that they speak. They know the importance of speaking words that will build self-esteem and confidence, build relationships and build possibilities. They speak words of affirmation, encouragement, love, acceptance and appreciation. 【小题1】Why does speaking come to most people as naturally as breathing ?(No more than 15 words) __________________________________________________________________________

and appreciation.可知成功的人说的是积极的不是消极的，说的是鼓励，爱，接受，欣赏的话。

They speak words of affirmation, encouragement, love, acceptance and appreciation; They speak positively rather than negatively.
