In 1989, an organization called Girls and Boys Town started National Hotline (全国热线) to give help to young people. People call the Hotline 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Young people talk to a trained counselor (咨询师)about their problems. A lot of calls were about bullies, but people had a lot of other problems. For example, family relationships, eating problems and exam stress.And Kate? She called the Hotline and then talked to her parents and teachers. They helped her to solve problems and now she is much happier.So remember, if you have a problem, don't wait too long-talk to someone soon.( )26. National Hotline was started by Girls and Boys Town.

Mark the dates of important events such as tests. Set your own goals and follow them. When your calendar starts to fill（填写）, learn to say "no" to other activities until you have reached your goal.Stay ahead. Try not to fall behind. If you feel that you've fallen behind and started to feel worried, let your teachers know. It's better to get help early than to wait, thinking you can face the final exams. Almost everyone is struggling with a special subject or class. If you have trouble with a special subject or homework project, ask your teacher for help after class. Taking a few minutes to solve the problem right away can save time, and if your teacher knows that you're struggling with something, he or she is 'likely to be more understanding of the situation.Listen up.

From the passage we can learn that _______.A. notes will help you remember what you learnB. listening actively will improve your hearingC. struggling will make your school life colorfulD. tests will decide if you can go on with the subjectCSuccessful people in international business understand the cultures of other countries and learn to change their practices in different cultures. They understand the importance of avoiding (避免）business decisions that are based on mistaken ideas. If he holds the idea that one's own culture's way of doing things is better than the way of other cultures, he may fail in international business. So it's necessary to study the different parts of culture: language, values and attitudes(态度), and customs (风俗)and manners.LanguageKnowledge of the local language can help international business people in four ways. First, people can communicate directly. Second, people are usually more open in their communication with someone who speaks their language. Third, an understanding of the language allows people to infer（推断）meanings that are not said directly. Finally, knowing the language helps people to understand the culture better.Values and AttitudesV alues and attitudes influence international business. Values are people's basic beliefs (基本信念) about the difference between right and wrong, good and bad. An attitude is a way of thinking or acting. For example, many people in the United States believe that chocolate from Switzerland is better than chocolate from other countries, and they like it and buy a lot of it. Customs and MannersCustoms are common social practices. Manners are ways of acting that people think to be polite. For example, in the United States, it is the custom to have salad（沙拉）before the main course at dinner, not after. Failing to understand the customs am countries will bring difficulty selling their products. Orange juice as a breakfast drink of an American company in France doesn't sell well because the Frenchmen don't usually drink juice with breakfast.( )32. Knowledge of the local language allows international business people _______.A. to be less open with their customers (顾客)B. to communicate without outside helpC. to express their thoughts indirectlyD. to have a better idea of their own culture( )33. The act of many people buying chocolate of Switzerland shows the role of _______.A. valuesB. mannersC. customsD. attitudes( )34 What would be the best title for the passage?A. Mistaken Ideas in BusinessB. Basic Beliefs in BusinessC. International Business CultureD. Successful International Business( )35. The author's purpose of writing this article is to tell people _______.A. how to take a right attitude in businessB. how to avoid misunderstandings in businessC. how to use a local language in businessD. how to act politely and properly in businessDIn the opinion of many people, the two-parent family is the correct way to raise children. Traditionally, this has been the most natural way, but single-parent(单亲)families have had to face prejudices (偏见) against their lifestyle. However, the single-parent family is the fastest growing kind of family. In the United States, a national (全国的)survey shows that at least 50% of children will be members of a single-parent family. So we think it is important to throw prejudices away and to see the advantages of single-parent families.When compared to two'-parent families, single-parent families are usually at a disadvantage in some ways. They are often in short of money, and children receive less attention. What's more, single parents can find themselves under too much pressure (压力) of both work and home. Despite （尽管) these disadvantages, it is possible for single-parent families to look for support from friends, schools, communities (社区) or other organizations. They need to remember that nobody can do it alone.Surprisingly, single-parent families also have some advantages over two-parent families. Single parents have greater flexibility(灵活性)in spending time with children, because they don't have to think about the needs of a husband or wife. So they can develop closer relationships with their children. Another advantage comes from the fact that single parents often work together with their children to solve problems, which makes children feel more needed and valued.It's important to remember that single-parent families have, until now suffered prejudices from some people. They think that it's easier for the children in single-parent families to drop out of school in teens, and to be jobless in their early twenties. But, with the support from 'friends, schools and communities, single-parent families become more accepted by society (社会), and this situation is certain to improve. In the future, probably these prejudices will not appear. ( )36. What does the writer mainly tell us in Paragraph l?A. People shouldn't have prejudices against single-parent families.B. The single-parent family is not good for raising children.C. The two-parent family is the correct way to raise children.D. 50% of children will be members of a single-parent family in the USA.( )37. Which disadvantage of single-parent families is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 2?A. They are often in short of money.B. Children may receive less attention.C. Children also suffer from the prejudice.D. Parents are under pressure of both work and home,( )38. How can single parents make their children feel more needed and valued?A. Don't think about the needs of others.B. Pay more attention to their children.C. Develop closer relationships with their children.D. Discuss and solve problems together with their children.( )39. Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?A. Advantages and DisadvantagesB. Changing Opinions on Single-parent FamiliesC. Best Life style for ChildrenD. Comparing Two Kinds of Families( )40. Why does the author believe that the situation of single-parent families willA. Single-parent families will be more accepted by society.B. There will be fewer and fewer single-parent families.C. Single parents will try their best to protect and control their children.D. People will understand that there are difficulties in single-parent families.四、词汇检测（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）根据下列句子及所给汉语注释或通过上下文，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式，每空写一词。
