Parents used to rely on physical punishments to control their children's bad behavior, which has been proven to be very harmful.Therefore, most parents now choose to simply yell, thinking that languageprobably won't hurt as much.But is that really so?Using harsh words such as "lazy" or "stupid" is just as harmful as hitting, according to a new study carried out at the University of Pittsburgh, US."It cannot reduce or correct their problem behavior," said Professor Ming - Te Wang, leader of the study, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal."On the contrary, it makes it worse."In the study, which involved 976 two - parent families, researchers asked the kids about their behavior problems, while asking their parents how often they had yelled at them. Nearly half of the parents admitted that they'd shouted at their children in the past year.Researchers noted that the kids whose parents used more harsh words experienced more behavior problems after-wards, including fighting, stealing, lying as well as symptoms of depression."Adolescence is a very sensitive period when kids arc trying Lo develop their self -identities(个性).When you yell, it makes them feel they are not capable, and that they are worthless and useless," Wang said."This may explain why so many parents say that no matter how loud they shout, their teenagers don' t listen.While harsh yelling can stop bad behavior in the moment, it doesn' t teach children to be-have how parents want them to, according to Professor Alan Kazdin of Yale University, US.What parents need is to praise their children for good behavior.If parents really need to punish their kids, they should try things like taking away smartphones and reminding them that good behavior will get them back. After all, "we want to teach kids, not hurt them," said Kazdin.1.How do most parents react to their children's misbehaving now?A.Letting them alone.B.Beating them.C.Shouting at them.D.Praising them.2.The study finds that using harsh words .A.can make things even worse B.inspires children to do better C.corrects children's bad behavior D.has a better effect than hitting3.According to Professor Ming - Te Wang, .A.physical punishments are sometimes necessaryB.children are more self - centered in adolescenceC.parents should never punish kids for misbehavingD.harsh yelling damages children's self - confidence4.In Professor Alan Kazdin's opinion, parents should A.set good examples for their childrenB.take away their children' s smartphonesC.praise their children for good behaviorD.always think in their children's shoes5.What does the underlined word "them" in the last paragraph refer to?A.children B.bad behaviors C.parents D.smartphones【参考答案】1—5、CADCD阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

I don't think comic book "collector" really applies to me at all. I’m probably more of a comic book "appreciator". My interest has always been in what can be accomplished with the medium of "visual story-telling". I'm not sure exactly where this interest of mine came from. I do know that as a child, comic books allowed me to improve my reading skills. “The Mighty Thor" helped me develop an interest in old legends, and “Challengers o f the Unknown" got me crazy about science fiction. The combination of words and pictures was a perfect springboard for my childhood imagination.How does one learn to appreciate comic book art? There is a classic example that sheds quite a bit of light on the subject. Writer Scott Macloud just explains what makes a comic book stand out in his best selling book Understanding Comics. The book, first published in 1994, has been translated into 13 languages and is practically a bible for students studying graphic illustration (图示说明) in novels.On the internet there are some cool comic book sites to be found—hundreds and hundreds of them as a matter of fact. More than a few are dedicated to super heroes and the like. But there are some choice sites that I would visit, because they provide some great resources that discuss the comic book as an art form. Noteworthy among them is a great article and interview at rcharvey. corn, which discusses the impact of several artists and writers in the field.I have a huge admiration for anyone who can produce comic stories that can make readers think, laugh and cry. Maybe make them dream.Check it out. Spend two dollars on a comic book and read it with your children. Or better yet, search out some of the more “adult" tides a nd read it for yourself. You may find yourself enjoying what you see and read. You may even find yourself wanting more.1. What does the author mainly intend to talk about in Paragraph 2?A. Influence of comic books on reading in childhood.B. Ways to improve one's reading skills.C. Subjects of comic books.D. Popularity of two comic books.2. The underlined part "sheds quite a bit of light on" (Para.3) means "____".A. does a basic research onB. causes a fierce debate onC. provides new information onD. makes a quick survey on3. If you want to know a few good writers of comic books, you will probably____.A. read Understanding ComicsB. visit rcharvey.cornC. buy some comic booksD. turn to comic story writers4. What does the author encourage people to do?A. Develop an interest in old legends and science fiction.B. Share a comic book with children.C. Produce some comic stories.D. Spend money and time appreciating comic books.1、答案解析:答案为A。

Three Boys and a DadBrad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother. Expecting a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months. "This will be like a walk in the park," he'd told his wife. "I'll look after the kids, and you can go visit your mom."Things started well, but just after eight o'clock, his three little "good kids"—Mike, Randy, and Alex—came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted "breakfast, daddy." When food had not appeared within thirty seconds, Randy began using his spoon on Alex's head as if it were a drum. Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat(节拍). Mike chanted "Where's my toast, where's my toast," in the background. Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.Life became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randy's underwear on his head. Randy locked himself in the bathroom, while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their very eyes. Someone named "Not Me" had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Brad knew the talk show had already started.By ten o'clock, things were out of control. Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his colour pencils. Randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room, but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Brad realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.At exactly11:17, Brad called the daycare centre(日托所). "I suddenly have to go into work and my wife's away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes? " The answer was obviously "yes" because Brad was smiling.1. When his wife left home, Brad expected to __________.A. go out for a walk in the parkB. watch TV talk show with his childrenC. enjoy his first day off workD. read the newspaper to his children2. Which of the following did Randy do?A. Drawing on the wallB. Eating apple jamC. Feeding the fish.D. Reading in a room3. Why did Brad ask the daycare centre for help?A.

【2013·潍坊5月模拟】“Oh,you must have been a spoiled (宠坏的) kid.You must be really bossy.I wonder what you’re going to be like to deal with?” That’s often the response Angela Hult gets when people find out she’s an only child,she told ABC News.Despite such negative (消极的) remarks,Hult has decided to have only one child herself.And she’s not alone.According to the US’ Office for National Statistics,women approaching the end of their childbearing years had an average of 1.9 children in 2004,compared with 3.1 for their counterparts in 1976.The percentage of onechild families in Britain had risen from 18 percent in 1972 to 26 percent in 2007.But even though only children are becoming increasingly common,the traditional view that they’re selfish,spoiled and lack social skills holds strong.Even parents of only children,like Hult,are made to feel guilty about having only one child.Worried that they’re being selfish and endangering their child’s future,they flock to online discussion forums seeking advice.Soon,however,they ask themselves:is this social prejudice really reasonable?“There have been hundreds and hundreds of research studies that show that only children are no different from their peers (同龄人),” Susan Newman,a social psychologist at Rutgers University in the US,told ABC News.This raises another question:why are only children still viewed with such suspicion?“There is a belief that’s been around probably since humans first existed that to have just one child is somehow dangerous,both for you and for the continuation of your race,” Toni Falbo,a professor of educational psychology,told the Guardian.“In the past a lot of children died.You’d have had to be crazy to only have one.”Times,of course,have changed and infant mortality (婴儿死亡率) has largely reduced.So what do only children themselves say?Kayley Kravitz,a blogger for The Huffington Post,grew up as an only child and highly recommends the experience.“Being an only childtaught me the most valuable skill of all:the ability to be alone,” she said.1.Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A.Are only children lonely?B.Are only children common?C.Are only children dangerous?D.Are only children different?2.What does Susan Newman mean?A. Only children are as good as their peers.B.Only children are more selfish and spoiled.C.Parents feel guilty about having only one child.D.Parents will endanger their only child’s future.3.What is the common belief since human existed?A.The infant death rate always stays high.B.People are crazy to have only one child.C.It’s easy for only children to earn their living.D.It’s hard to continue the family line with only one child.4.An only child like Kayley________.A.must be difficult to persuadeB.can possibly learn to be aloneC.should value special skillsD.need ignore bad experience5.What’s the author’s attitude towards having only one child?A.Neutral. B.Negative.C.Positive. D.Doubtful.语篇解读本文是一篇议论文。

On Sunday, August 24th, comic book lovers across the world held their breath to watch how much crazy collectors would pay for a rare Superman comic book. Though bids (出价) above the initial asking price of 1 million dollars had been coming in gradually since the copy was placed on the auction site (拍卖网站) eBay on July 14th, things really started to heat up during the final minutes when the price jumped from $2.5 to $2.6 and then $2.7 million, before shooting up to unbelievable 3,207,852 dollars!This of course was no ordinary Superman comic book, but an edition of the extremely sought-after (很吃香地) No. 1 of Action Comics series — the first publication of the superhero that was born from the creative minds of teenagers Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel. Though Action Comics No. 1, which depicted a diaper-clad baby Superman lifting furniture, had a print run of 200,000 copies, only about 100 are known to exist today.While the rarity is certainly a reason for the high price, Stephen Fisher, CEO of , thinks it also has a lot to do with the fact that Superman was the world’s first superhero! Even so, none of the copies have been able to fetch (售得) as much as the most recent one, simply because they have not been as well-preserved. Graded a rare 9 out of 10 by CGC, a third party grading service for comic books, the book is the highest rated copy of Action Comics No. 1 so far. According to CGC officials, the 76-year-old comic book looks and feels as though it has just come off the newsstand (报摊).That is not surprising given that the original owner, a Virginian man who bought the book for only 10 cents in 1938, had carefully tucked it away (藏起来) in a wooden box for four decades. Fortunately, when he passed away, the book was bought by a string of collectors who all realized it was a rare treasure that needed to be looked after.Before this, the highest price paid for an Action Comics No. 1 had been $2 million for a copy sold by Hollywood actor Nicholas Cage in 2011. Ironically, the two teenagers responsible for creating Superman received just 130 dollars when they sold the rights to the superhero to comic book publisher Detective Comics in 1938.1. When the Superman comic book was placed on eBay on July 14th, .A. it attracted no attention at allB. things started to heat up immediatelyC. the bid price didn’t go up very quickly at firstD. people thought it was worth millions of dollars2. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Why the comic book is well-preserved.B. Why the comic book is well worth reading.C. Why the comic book is worth so much money.D. Why the comic book has drawn so much attention.3. When the other collectors got the comic book after the Virginian man, they .A. all took very good care of itB. all liked reading it very muchC. didn’t believe it was worth a fortuneD. all kept it in the same way as that man4. What do we know about the creators of Superman?A. They didn’t want to sell the rights to a comic book publisher.B. They knew all along Superman would be the most successful comic book.C. They were professional comic book writers when they created Superman.D. They didn’t make much money from creating Superman.参考答案1—4、CCAD阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

In the more and more competitive service industry, it is no longer enough to promise customer satisfaction. Today, customer “delight” is what companies are trying to achieve in or order to keep and increase market share.It is accepted in the marketing industry, and confirmed by a number of researches, that customers receiving good service will promote business by telling up to 12 other people: those treated badly will tell their tales of woe to up to 20 people, 80 percent of people who feel their complaints are handled fairly will stay loyalNew lunges for customer care have come when people can obtain goods and services through telephone call centers and the Internet. For example , many companies now have to invest()a lot of money in information technology and staff training in order to cope with the “phone rage”—caused by delays in answering calls ,being cut off inmid-conversation or left waiting for long periods.“Many people do not like talking to machines,” says Dr . Storey Senior Lecturer in Marketing at City University Business School. “Banks, for example, encourage staff at call centers to use customer data to establish instant and good relationship with them .The aim is to make the customer feel they know you and that you can trust— the sort of comfortable feelings people have during face-to-face chats with their local branch manager.”Recommended ways of creating customer delight include:under-promising and over-delivering (saying that a repair will be calmed out within five hours ,but getting it done within two );replacing a faulty product immediately : throwing in a gift voucher(购物礼卷)as an unexpected “thank you” to rental customers ;and always returning calls ,even when they are complaints.Aiming for customer delight is all very well , but if services do not reach the high level promised , disappointment or worse will be the result . This can be eased by offering an apology and an explanation of why the service did not meet usual standards with empathy (for example,”I know how you must feel”), and possible solutions (replacement , compensation or whatever fames suggests best meets the case).Airlines face some of the toughest challenges over customer care. Fierce competition has convinced them that delighting passengers is an important marketing tool, while there is great potential for customer anger over delays caused by weather, unclaimed luggage and technical problems.For British Airways staff, a winning telephone style is considered vital in handling the large volume of calls about bookings and flighttimes. They are trained to answer quickly, with their name, job title and a “we are here to help” attitude. The company has invested heavily in information technology to make sure that information is available instantly on screen.British Airways also says its customer care policies are applied within the company and staff are taught to regard each other as customers requiring the highest standards of service.Customer care is obviously here to stay and it would be a foolish company that used slogans such as "we do as we please”. On the other hand, the more customers are promised, the greater the risk of disappointment.( ) 1. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that .A. complaining customers are hard to satisfyB. unsatisfied customers receive better serviceC. Satisfied customers catch more attentionD. well-treated customers promote business( ) 2. The writer mentions “phone rage”(Paragraph 3) to showthat .A. customers often use phones to express their angerB. people still prefer to buy goods onlineC. customer care becomes more attentionD. customers rely on their phones to obtain services ( ) 3. What does the writer recommend to create delight?A. Calling customers regularlyB. Giving a “thank you” note.C. Delivering a quicker serviceD. Promising more gifts.( ) 4. If a manager should show his empathy (Paragraph6), what would he probably say?A. “I know how upset you must be.”B. “I appreciate y our understanding.”C. “I’m sorry for the delay.”D. “I know it’s our fault.”( ) 5. Customer delight is important for airlines because .A. their telephone style remains unchangedB. they are more likely to meet with complaintsC. the services cost them a lot of moneyD. the policies can be applied to their staff( ) 6. Which of the following is conveyed in this article?A. Face-to-face service creates comfortable feelings among customers.B. Companies that promise more will naturally attract more customers.C. A company should promise less but do more in a competitive market.D. Customer delight is more important for airlines than for banks.【参考答案】1—6、DCCABC阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

阅读理解专练(四)(限时30分钟)AFrom the cold Arctic to the African plains, every society seems to have some form of music as part of their culture. Music is so common and widespread that most people don’t even question it anymore. But until recently, there were researchers who doubted it: How could we know that music was really a part of all known societies?Now, Harvard researchers, Samuer Mehr and Manvir Singh, have found further evidence to support the argument. They gathered music from different countries, media and time periods, and collected descriptions of many different pieces of music. Rather than focusing on music first and then looking at where it could be found, they started by studying a record of detailed descriptions of more than three hundred known global societies, and found that all of them have music as part of their culture.To see if people could recognize the functions of songs from around the world, the researchers also created a listening experiment in which people tried to guess the behavioral context of a song. This went surprisingly well. Particularly music that was intended for dancing or tocalm a baby was easy to recognize as either dance music or lullabies. Love songs were a bit more difficult to qualify, because they tend to be very diverse even within cultures.This systematic study of connections sounds like the way that researchers in other fields would study biological patterns. “There’s a field known as cultural phylogenetics, ” says Singh. Whereas biological characteristics are only received from parent to child, cultural characteristics (like music) are also shared between people of the same generation. That makes it much more difficult to figure out where the characteristic has come from.“Finally, ” Singh says, “We s till don’t know why music developed gradually. Our study shows that humans everywhere share cognitive mechanisms (认知机制) that make certain sounds seem appropriate in particular contexts. ”【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文, 介绍世界各地的音乐拥有的共同特点, 同时成为各种文化不可或缺的组成部分。

I’ve spent o ver a year in India, and in those 365plus days, I’ve learned a lot about getting aroundIndian cities. My biggest lessons have been learnedthrough being cheated, particularly by taxi andrickshaw(人力车)drivers, but that doesn’t mean thoseare bad ways to travel, as long as you know what you’redoing. Below are the best ways to get around the cityof Delhi, India, and tips for how to keep from being the victim of scams(欺诈).Taking taxis is a great way to get around the city of Delhi and chances are, if you arrive in Delhi by plane, as soon as you make it through customs, you’ll be swarmed by Indian taxi drivers. At the Delhi airport, be sure to arrange for a taxi to your hotel at one of the two Delhi Traffic Police Taxi Booths. One is inside the airport, and one is outside. The key is to make sure to go to a booth run by the police, rather than by independent taxi drivers.Rickshaws are one of my favorite ways to get around Indian cities, in part because it’s how the locals often travel. Auto-rickshaws are more common, but bicycle rickshaws are still used in Old Delhi. If you do have a chance to take a bicycle rickshaw, you should do it at least once for a unique experience that should only set you back about 15 rupees. Auto-rickshaw rates around Delhi range between 30 and 80 rupees, depending on distance.If you really want to travel around Delhi like the locals, take a public bus. Indian buses become very crowded and most do not have air conditioning. They are, however, very cheap. A bus trip won’t set you back any more than 15 rupees, as long as you stay within the city limits. Since Indian buses get so crowded, try to board the bus at the start of the route so you can get a seat.The train is a great way to get around within the city of Delhi. Fares arereasonable, between 6 and 22 rupees. All departure announcements are in both Hindi and English, and tokens can be purchased for between 6 and 22 rupees.【文章大意】本文作者对于在印度德里旅行时提出了几点交通方面的建议。

Please follow the following suggestions:Make sure you're well prepared before filming your movie, as not being prepared might just waste your resources, such as your video tapes. Before shooting a scene, make sure that your video camera is charged up and is ready to run. Having a spare battery is a good idea.If you are bad at introductions and conclusions, then think of the end first, and begin the movie in the same place, or vice-versa(反之亦然). Add music, but not illegally. In other words, you can put music in, but don't give out copies. If you do, you will have to use non-copyrighted material or contact someone to get permission. No matter where you are there is always independent musicians that would love to have their songs in your movie. and lighting is very important: Good sound (easily understanding the person speaking without hearing the photographer breathing, or street noise, for example) is critical. Good lighting makes the video/movie watchable. Excellent "Predicting lighting " include: Dusk or early morning, a foggy or overcast day, and shade (but only when there is a darker background.) A white poster board can be used to bounce(弹回) light to the shaded side of the face.Here are a few camera pointers to consider: Vary the shots for interest, but vary the type of shots, between wide, medium and close-up(特写).

No one is glad to hear that his body has to be cut open by a surgeon (外科医生) and part of it taken out. Today, however, we needn't worry about feeling pain during the operation. The sick person falls into a kind of sleep, and when he awakes, the operation is finished. But these happy conditions are fairly new. It is not many years since a man who had to have an operation felt all its pain.Long ago, an operation had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything. The sick man had to be held down on a table by force while the doctors did their best for him. He could feel all the pain if his leg or arm was being cut off, and his fearful cries filled the room and the hearts of those who watched.Soon after 1770, Josept Priestley discovered a gas which is now called “laughing gas〞. Laughing gas became known in America. Young men and women went to parties to try it. Most of them spent their time laughing. But one man at a party, Horace Wells noticed that people didn't seem to feel pain when they were using this gas. He decided to make an experiment on himself. He asked a friend to help him.Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Wells' teeth. Wells felt no pain at all.As he didn't know enough about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas than he should have. The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pulled out.Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, and the man died. Wells never forgot this terrible event.1. Long ago,when the sick man was operated on ,he _________.A. could feel nothingB. could not want anythingC. Could feel all the painD. Could do anything2. Using the laughing gas, the people did not seem to ________.A. be afraid of anythingB. feel painC. want to go to the partiesD. be ill3. If a man took less laughing gas than he should have when an operation went on, he ________.A. felt nothingB. felt very comfortableC. still felt painD. would die4.One who took too much of the laughing gas ________.A. would laugh all the timeB. would dieC. would never feel painD. would be very calm参考答案1—4 CBCB【2014高考英语马鞍山市质量检测】阅读如下短文,从每题所给的四个选项〔A、B、C和D〕中,选出最优选项。

“I didn't hear them call my name,” explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens (AT) as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004. “Are you ready?”is what she heard.Then she said,“I shook my head no,and then they said ‘yes’and it was announced again.”It was four days after that life changing moment for theseventeenyearold high school student from Destrehan, Louisianashe was still on_cloud_nine.“I was so shocked! I never believed that it coul d actually really happen. ”Present in the audience (观众) that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher. Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there,AT asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete (比赛). “She's always been my role model. I've danced with her since I was six. She's been through so many difficulties and came through them all. I've learned to get over bad life's experiences and learned how to move on becaus e of her.”One of those bad life's experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. He was 18. She found writing helped her get through the rough days. She said, “I write a lot about my brother.I write a lot, a lot,a lot...” As Miss Louisiana Teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens (青少年) about the dangers of drinking and driving. In her role as Miss Teen USA, Shelley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving,in addition to many other things to help the youth.When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, “Don't let anyone change you. Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself. That way,it is easy to be yourself.”人生要经历许多苦难,但不管怎样都要勇敢面对,不能让任何人改变你自己。

I just hope that our brains won’t crash(死机). Are you workingon your typing skills to make you a more efficient worker? Thatmay be all for nothing as Intel believes that we’ll be able tocontrol our computers with our brains by 2020.Intel and its research partners are studying how brain actswhen it thinks. For example, scientists have found that people’sbrains react in a similar manner when asked to think of a bear.Through sensors(感应器)that can find this sort of brain activity, Intel thinks that it will be able to read and translate this into an input system thanks to a chip in the brain.“We’re trying to prove you can do interesting things with brain waves. ”In tel research scientist Dean Pomerleau told Computerworld. “Eventually people may be willing to be, more devoted to brain implants(植入物). Imagine being able to surf the Web with the Power of your thoughts. ”Even if thinking about a bear isn’t enough to sh ow that you want to copy and paste something. Intel still thinks that there’s a future in using your brain instead of the keyboard.“If we can get to the point where you can accurately find specific words, you could mentally type, ”he added. “You could compose characters or words by thinking about letters flashing on the screen or typing whole words rather than their individual characters. ”While this may all sound impractical for present time, Intel thinks that it’s possible and something we’ll all w ant.“I think human beings are unusually adaptive(适应的), ”said Andrew Chien, vice president of research and director of future technologies research at Intel Labs. “If you told people 20 years ago that they would be carrying computers all the time, they wo uld have said, ‘I don’t want that. I don’t need that. ’Now you can’t get them to stop carrying devices. There are a lot of things that have to be done first but I think implanting chips into human brains is well within the scope of possibility. ”Make good use of your favorite mouse and keyboard set-up before they’re old-fashioned. 【文章大意】本文主要讲了现在Intel及同伴正在研究怎样用人脑控制我们的电脑。

So you want to draw money from a bank? Do it yourself. Want to fix a broadband internet connection? Do it yourself. Need a boarding card for your flight? Do it yourself. In theory, companies can save money by replacing human workers with automated self-service systems, while customers gain more choices and control and get quicker service. There is even talk of self-service doing for the service department what mass production did for factories, by enabling the delivery of services cheaply and on a massive scale. Surely the expansion of self-service into more and more areas is to be welcomed?Not necessarily. When it is done well, self-service can do good to both companies and customers. But when done badly—who has not found themselves trapped in a series of endless touch—tone menus? In areas whereself-service is only just started, this is less of a problem: angry customers can after all, always take their business elsewhere. But if every bank were to prefer self-service systems, customers would no longer be able to express their discount by voting with their feet. As a result, some banks, for example, already promise that their telephone-banking services always offer the choice of talking to a human operator. But in return for human service, many companies will simply charge more. Another disagreement to self-service is that while it saves companies money, it does not always save their customers’ time. In the best cases, it does, of course: checking yourself in at the airport can be quicker than queuing or making a phone call. But as more and more tasks are on to customers, they may start to hope for the days of old-fashioned service. All of this suggests that there are limits to how far self-service can be taken. Companies that go too far down the self-service route or to do it incorrectly are likely to find themselves being punished. Instead, a balance between self-service and traditional forms of service is necessary.1.From this passage, we can see that the writer the use ofself-service technology.A. dislikesB. supportsC. thinks highly ofD. makes carefully judgment on2.What advantages does the self-service technology certainly bring?A. Cutting the cost for the companies.B. Saving money for customers.C. Offering customers extra money.D. Defeating the traditional forms of service.3.What does the writer mean by saying “customers would no longer be ableto express their discount by voting with their feet”?A. customers would be so angry that they kick and damage the machine providing self-service.B. customers would not be able to express their anger at the bank’s service by leaving thereC. customers would try their best to persuade the bank to stopself-service.D. customers would elect some leaders to have a talk with the bank.. 4.Which of the following statements does the writer agree to?A. Banks should supply self-service and traditional forms of service as well.B. Self-service in banks has so many week points and should be stopped.C. Self-service can bring about many conveniences and should be supported.D. Banks don’t consider customers’ needs in their business.1、答案解析:答案为D。

(The Young Genera tion)Old people are always saying that the young are not what they were. The same comment is made from generation to generation and it is always true. It has never been truer than it is today. The young are better educated. They have a lot more money to spend and enjoy more freedom. They grow up more quickly and are not so dependent on their parents. They think more for themselves and do not blindly accept the ideals of their elders. Events which the older generation remembers vividly are nothing more than past history. This is as it should be. Every new generation is different from the one that preceded it. Today the difference is very marked indeed.The old always assume that they know best for the simple reason that they have been around a bit longer. They don’t like to feel that their values are being questioned or threatened. And this is precisely what the young are doing. They are question the assumptions of their eldersand disturbing their complacency. Office hours, for instance, are nothing more than enforced slavery. Wouldn’t people work best if they were given complete freedom and responsibility? And what about clothing? Who said that all the men in the world should wear drab grey suits and convict haircuts? If we ruin our minds to more serious matters, who said that human differences can best be solved through conventional politics or by violent means, who said that human difference can best be solved through conventional politics or by violent means? Why have the older generation so often used violence to solve their problems? Why are they so unhappy and guilt-ridden in their personal lives, so obsessed with mean ambitions and the desire to amass more and more material possessions? Can anything be right with the rat-race? Haven’t the old lost touch with all that is important in life?These are not questions the older generation can shrug off lightly. Their record over the past forty years or so hasn’t been exactly spotless. Traditionally, the young have turned to their elders for guidance. Today, the situation might be reversed. The old—if they are prepared to admit it—could learn a thing or two from their children. One of the biggest lessons they could learn is that enjoyment is not ‘sinful’. Enjoyment is a principle one could apply to all aspects of life. It is surely not wrong to enjoy your work and enjoy your leisure; to shed restricting inhibitions. It is surely not wrong to live in the present rather than in the past or future. This emphasis on the present is only to be expected because the young have grown up under the shadow of the bomb: the constant threat of complete annihilation. This is their glorious heritage. Can we be surprised that they should so often question the sanity of the generation that bequeathed it?1. Which of the following features in the young is NOT mentioned?[A]. Better educated. . More money and freedom.[C]. Independence. [D]. Hard work.2. What so the young reject most?[A]. Values. . The assumption of the elders.[C]. Conformity. [C]. Conventional ideas.3. Why do the young stress on the present?[A]. They have grown up under the shadow of the bomb.. They dislike the past.[C]. They think the present world is the best.[D]. They are afraid of destruction.4. What can the old learn from the young generation?[A]. Enjoyment is not sinful. . People should have more leisure time.[C]. Men might enjoy life. [D]. One should enjoy one’s work.Vocabulary1. reminder 使共回想起某事的东西,提示者2. complacency 自鸣得意,自满情结3. take leave 擅自,任意,随意I took leave to consider this matter settled. 请原谅我认为这事已经解决了。
