Ⅲ.阅读理解
It’s common for new mothers to experience depression (抑郁) because of hormonal changes and lack of sleep after childbirth.But new research shows that depression after the arrival of a child isn’t limited to birth parents：adoptive (收养的) parents are also at risk of depression after bringing a child home.
Depression appears to be common among the two million couples in the United States who adopt children every year.A study of 39 adoptive mothers showed 15 percent were experiencing depression six weeks after the adoption.25 percent of parents had experienced depression before the child had arrived，which can be explained by the uncertainty and hopes that are common during the adoption process.
To find out more about what causes the adoptive parents to experience depression，a Purdue University professor，Karen J．Foli，who is also an adoptive parent，interviewed 21 parents who had adopted children from newborn to 12 years.
The research found that the depression experienced by adoptive parents often stemmed_from unmet or unrealistic expectations of the parenting experience.During the adoption process，parents put lots of efforts into proving they will be nice
parents.After the adoption，some struggle with the fact that they aren’t the “superparents” they promised to be，Dr Foli said.
Adoptive parents also must cope with family members who don’t treat a new adopted child the same way they treat other biological children in the family.
In addition，while birth parents often spend their time together as a couple and pay close attention to the mother’s health，adoptive parents have to do a large amount of scrutiny (审查)，paperwork and travel.Often，Dr Foli explained，they are simply tired by the time the child arrives.

Ⅳ.任务型阅读
It is the duty of every child or student to respect and obey his/her teacher.__1__ That is why they are always expected to lead excellent lives for you to follow.Since they represent your parents，you have to accord (给予) them the respect you give to your parents.
No matter how old or young a teacher is，once he/she is in charge of the class，you have to respect him/her.Both at home and in school you are brought up to be disciplined.
Therefore，when you go contrary to the rules set for you，you are put right，either by your parents or teachers.__2__
You need to be responsible for your actions.__3__However，if you think a particular teacher is picking on (批评) you，for no reason，you have to report to your headteacher or your guidance and counseling teacher，if you have one，to solve the matter kindly，rather than you or your parents attacking the teacher.
As a senior，you do not have to punish someone simply because he/she is your junior.Even when a junior does something wrong，you do not always have to punish him or her.__4__
If you are not fond of punishing people on the least mistake they make，they will not pick on you and be mean (刻薄的) to you.__5__Explain to them why they should not do what they did again and I believe there will be peace.
It is，however，wrong for students or parents to curse，harm or insult teachers and seniors.It does not show respect.Two wrongs never make a right so tell all your friends who are seniors not to bully the young ones but to show them love.With time things will change.
A．Sometimes you only have to correct him/her without any punishment.
B．A good teacher always motivates a student，no matter how tough the situation is.
