In a guide book.CIn a nation wi th a one­child family planning policy, it’s understandable for parents to worry over whether they are petting their children. Are the children truly as fragile(脆弱）as sometimes made out to be?The concern has been brought into focus with the popularity of a hit reality TV series, Hunan TV’s Dad!Where Are We Going?and Zhejiang TV’s First Time in Life. In both, children as young as three have become new public figures. In the show First Time in Life, children chosen from ordinary families are given small tasks to complete by themselves；the ongoingDad!Show centers on five celebrity（名人） fathers and their children who are forced to live a simple life in rural areas, far outside their comfort zone.Regardless of their families background, the children’s reactio ns to new environments have struck the public.In one episode（一集）of Dad!, the five­year­old daughter of former Olympic diving champion Tian Liang cries and hides behind her father when they arrive at a rural village. In an episode of the other series, a young girl in Tianjin breaks down into a tearful fit after being asked by her father to go out alone to buy eggs and a pancake.In the eyes of some observers, these kids show no sense of independence, and the reason is put down to parents who are overly sheltering. But television viewers and parents were heartened when the weeping Tianjin girl finally wiped away her tears as she returned holding the pancake. In the case of Tian’s daughter, she eventually began to take care of her younger companions and le arned to seek help from people she didn’t know.The father of the Tianjin girl felt delightfully shocked and said. “She used to have to be accompanied（陪伴）by her mother or grandmother. Now she has the courage to do it all by herself. ”The shows have led many parent s to change how they raise their children. Shanghai mother Liang Jing said she would try to give some training to her shy son, asking him to tidy up his toys. Lin Yi, a parenting expert in Beijing, said giving kids a chance to do things for themselves helps to raise their sense of achievement, which carries benefits throughout their lives.29．The children in the two programs Dad!Where Are We going? and First Time in Life are different in________.A．age group B．family background C．personality D．popularity 30．What attracts the audience’s eyes in the programs?A．How children react to new environments.B．Where children’s real comfort zone is.C．What the kids’ family background is like.D．Why those children are independent.31．It can be inferred from the underlined words “delightfully shocked” that________.A．father is more important than mother in a familyB．parents should provide a safe environmentC．children deserve a chance to be independentD．the children are as fragile as parents expected32．What’s the main idea of the text?____________A．The protection of good traditionsB．The importance of the social safetyC．The influence of TV programsD．The discussion of parenting children.DDo you usually go Dutch(AA制) when you take someone out to dinner? Do you expect your date to pay for the whole meal?Many people say that as long as there's love, money doesn't matter mu ch. But this might change when the relationship gets serious and it is related to the money borrowed from the bank, the family present accounts and debt.A survey among 8 million couples in the UK suggested that 44% of married couples don't know exactly what their partner earns. An astonishing 23% actively try to keep their finances(资金) secret from their partners. About 38% of them are open to each other. Another 12% refuses to tell the truth.British relationship expert Russell says: "It’s very difficult to talk about money. Often there’s guilt, there’s shame. To start those conversations is difficult. Money can be about how we value ourselves, how we feel valued. It’s not just a simple case of talking about hard cash."So if you are in a couple, it might be a good ide a to check if you both are on the same page about money before bills pile up on the kitchen table and love flies out of the window. When moving in together, couples should not only talk about their personal habits but also about their financial ones.Russell has a word of advice: "Accept the fact that in your relationship you might do money differently –there might be a spender or a saver. It’s very attractive if your partner does things differently to say they’re wrong. Do it differently but plan it well."And now, back to that date. Would you be bored with someone who was attractive but expected you to pay the bill by yourself? There's food for thought.33. When they have to tell their partner they don't earn much money, some people might feel__________.A. ashamedB. frightenedC. pleasedD. tired34. According to relationship expert Russell, what should people do no matter whether theyare savers or spenders?A. They should value themselves about spending money.B. They should have a plan about money.C. They should talk more about their personal spending habits.D. They should spend money differently.35. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. Problems from MoneyB. How to Be Good CouplesC. True Love Means MoneyD. Love and Money第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。
