Learn to tell your parents' moods. Observe and ____43____ your parents to learn when they are more stressed and when they are more at ____44____. For example, some parents are too stressed for the hour after they get home from work to bear their children's bad behavior. Try to be on your best behavior when a parent easily gets angry.

Follow rules at home and in school. While this may sound like common sense, it really is important to be in the habit of following rules. A child who follows ____45____ rules is more likely to have parents ____46____him or her on the few occasions when they actually do something wrong.

Discuss why you got in trouble with your parents, ____47____ if you do not understand why they are so upset. It is important to wait until both you and your parents are ____48____ enough to discuss the matter. Simply say to your parents, "I need to understand what I did wrong and what I can do to not get in trouble again." If you are sincere, a reasonable parent will sense that and discuss the issues with you. If you disagree and feel your parents do not have a good reason to punish or restrict you, find a compromise.

Do not repeat behaviors that get you in trouble. If there is a behavior that you know your parent does not ____49____, stop doing it. Life is too short to be in constant conflict and your childhood and teen years will be over before you know it.

III. Reading Comprehension

Section A

Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

Why do most people choose to stay with their current employer? The answer usually ____50____ on their age, life circumstances, and personal motivations. A recent poll on our website asked the same question.

The ____51____ reason for staying on the job was nature of the work and job satisfaction. Coming in a close second was flexible schedule and work-life balance. Next was work environment and corporate culture, followed by advancement opportunity and personal growth. Salary and benefits were the least important.

Is it unusual that ____52____ comes in last on this list? Not really. Salary and benefits do not usually make it into the top three reasons for job satisfaction on such surveys. Most people know they could ____53____ more money elsewhere, but it‘s not enough to get them to ____54____ a job they like.

Advancement doesn‘t rank at the top of the list, either. That‘s probably because so many people think that moving up can make life on the job more ____55____. The only thing one gets ____56____ is more

money.

So what creates job satisfaction? One typical answer is ―I like to be ____57____‖. People who say this like to work toward goals. They like new challenging assignments ____58____ they can test their skills and creativity.

Another typical answer is ―I like to feel I‘m making a ____59____‖. Many people get a sense of community when they are working with a group of co-workers toward a ____60____ goal. It is very important for them to have close, friendly relationships with co-workers, and they thrive when others praise their work and ____61____ their efforts.

Finally, there are those who say ―I get ____62____ from a job well done‖. Such people love the technical work they do; they feel ____63____ of the results of their efforts. These people have high standards of quality and work best when they have control over a project. They thrive when others know about the work they have done.

Ultimately, the main reason people work is to earn money, but it is not money that gives them satisfaction. ___64____ employees something more, and you are likely to get more from them.

50. A. lives B. depends C. feeds D. focuses

51. A. top B. actual C. good D. possible

(A)

Mary Allen was my best friend—like the sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding.

When I was 13, my family moved away. Mary and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special occasions—like my wedding and Mary‘s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to

new places, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I had sent came back stamped ―Address Unknown.‖ I had no idea how to find Mary.

Over the years, I thought of Mary often. I wanted to share stories of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sorrow when my brother and mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that nobody but Mary could fill.

One day I was reading the newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman. She looked a lot like Mary and her last name was Wagman—Mary‘s married name. ―There must be thousands of Wagmans,‖ I thought, but I wrote to her anyway.

She called as soon as she got my letter. ―Mrs. Tobin!‖ she said excitedly. ―Mary Allen Wagman is my mother.‖ Minutes later I heard a voice that I recognized instantly, even after 40 years. We laughed and cried and caught up on each other‘s lives.

Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And there‘s one thing that Mary and I know for sure: we won‘t lose each other again!

(C)

Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people are similar in many ways. The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society. There are more ideas, more disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs. In addition, there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies. All these factors tend to promote social change by opening more areas of life to decision.

In a society where people are quite similar in many ways, there are fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for change because everything seems to be the same. And although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and undisputed.

Within a society, social change is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material

aspects of the culture than in the non-material, for example, in technology rather than in values; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early; in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society than in their opposites; in the simple elements rather than in the complex ones; in form rather than in substance; and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements. Furthermore, social change is easier if it is gradual. For example, it comes readily on human relations on a continuous scale rather than one with sharp dichotomies (分歧). This is one reason why change has not come more quickly to black Americans as compared to other American minorities, because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white counterparts.

72. Which does NOT belong to the factors that promote social change according to the passage?

A. More profits.

B. Various points of view.

C. Different beliefs.

D. Greater tolerance.

73. In a society where people are quite similar in many ways, __________.

A. conditions seem to be satisfactory

B. people are not motivated for change

C. people‘s thoughts are exactly the same

D. technology is the main focus 74. Social change is more likely to occur EXCEPT __________.

A. in mixed societies

B. in the material aspects of the culture

C. if it is gradual

D. where people are similar in many ways 75. The underlined word ―undisputed ‖ in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by __________.

A. strange

B. challenging

C. distinguished

D. accepted

Section C

Directions: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.

There are many occasions for giving gifts in modern industrialized societies: birthdays, naming ceremonies, weddings, anniversaries, New Year. It is common to give gifts on many of these celebrations in western cultures. In addition, special events, such as one ‘s first day of school or graduation from university, often require gift giving. What is happening when we give gifts? Most important, we are exchanging gifts. If someone gives me a gift for my birthday, I know that I am usually expected to give one on his or her next birthday. A gift

establishes or confirms a social obligation.

Gifts cement personal relationships and provide a means of communication between loved ones. People say that a gift lets the recipient know we are thinking of them, that we want to make the person ?feel special ‘. We want people to feel wanted, to feel part of our social or family group. We give presents to say ?I‘m sorry ‘. Sometimes we try hard to find a present that someone will like. Sometimes we give things that we like or would feel comfortable with. In all these cases, the gifts are sending out messages – often very eloquent ones. People tend to talk about presents in a rather mystical way. A woman whose mother had died years ago described the many gifts around her house. These were gifts that her mother had given her over the years, ?I appreciate these, and they mean something to me,‘ the woman said, ?because I remember the occasion they were given on, and that it was from my mother, and the relationship we‘ve had.‘ The gifts remain and keep the memory of the relationship alive. This woman felt the same way about the gifts she gave to others. She hoped that the recipients would look at her gifts in years to come and remember her. Emotions like these reveal that a positive spirit still lies behind gift giving. They prove that the anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss was wrong to say that modern western gift giving is highly wasteful. Studies in Canada and elsewhere have also shown that this is not the case. Gifts are not usually duplicated when so many presents are given. The emotional benefit for the participants in the gift exchange is reason alone for the tradition to continue.

Section Ｄ

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words .

Most parents and teachers would get angry when they hear that teenagers listen to their iPods while preparing for exams. But pupils who listen to music when doing their homework can now argue that they are, in fact, working hard.

Three dozen schools have downloaded specially-written pop and rock songs for their 10,000 GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) pupils. The professionally-recorded music, based on texts in English literature, teaches teenagers about themes in the GCSE curriculum (课程). Two young men set up ―Rewise ‖, the company that produced the songs, and worked alongside teachers to make sure the lyrics reflected the curriculum. Some of the songs were written by Geraint Brown, a director, and they are performed by professional singers and musicians.

Songs for the GCSE science and maths lessons are also being developed in 36 schools. They have also started using the program, called, ―LearnThruMusic ‖.

80.

Dave Mattews, the head of Hawthorn High School in the South Wales valleys, said the program was intended to help teenagers who are unwilling to study. He said, ―There are lots of pupils who don‘t have a high level of home support. It‘s almost cool to say you have no need to revise and we have got to change that. With this, they don‘t have to be sitting at their desk at home. They can be outside, walking around or even listening to it on the bus, which is very convenient for them.‖Everyone has a phone, MP3 or CD player, and they‘re more likely to listen to these than pick up a book. ―I think everyone would agree that music had an important influence on us when growing up. Both boys and girls are very good at remembering the words and dancing to the music in the charts. There‘s no one thing that will successfully engage every child, and some of them will make little or no use of this. But the fact that they don‘t have to do any extra work makes this a very good deal for a kid,‖ Dave Mattews added.

(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in 8 words.)

81. The songs written by Geraint Brown for GCSE are performed by ____________________.

82. According to the passage, which GCSE subjects have been written into songs?

83. The aim of the program, ―LearnThruMusic‖, is to _________________________________.

84. What does Dave Mattews think of the program?
