Don't get mad next time you catch your teenager texting when he commits himself to studying. He simply may not be able to resist. A study of the University of Iowa (UI) found teenagers are far more sensitive than adults to the immediate effect or reward of their behavior. The findings may help explain why the initial rush of texting may be more attractive for adolescents than the long-term payoff of studying.
"For the teenager, the rewards are seductive for them to be addicted to texting," says Professor Jatin Vaidya, an author of the study. "They draw adolescents. Sometimes, the rewards are a kind of motivation for them. Even when a kind of behavior is no longer in a teenager's best interest to continue, they will, because the effect of the rewards is still there and lasts much longer in adolescents than in adults."
For parents, that means limiting distractions so that teenagers can make better choices. Take the homework and social media dilemma: At 9 p. m., shut off everything except a computer that has no access to Facebook or Twitter, as the researchers advise. "I'm not saying they shouldn't be allowed access to technology," says Vaidya. "But some help in resetting their concentration is necessary for them so that they can develop those impulse-control skills."
In their study, Vaidya and co-author Shaun Vecera note researchers generally believe teenagers are not mature, make bad decisions, and engage in risky behavior because the frontal lobes(额叶) of their brains are not fully developed. But the UI researchers wondered whether something more fundamental was going on with adolescents to cause behavior independent of higher-level reasoning.
"We wanted to try to understand the brain's reward system and how it changes from childhood to adulthood," says Vaidya, who adds that the reward character in the human brain is easier than decision-making. "We've been trying to understand the reward process in adolescence and whether there is more to adolescent behavior than an under-developed frontal lobe," he adds. For their study, the researchers persuaded 40 adolescents, aged 13 to 16, and 40 adults, aged 20 to 35 to participate.
In the future, researchers hope to look into the psychological and neurological(神经学上的) aspects of their results.
1.What does the passage mainly tell us
A.Always, rewards are attractive to teenagers.
B.Always, adolescents can resist rewards.
C.Resistance can be controlled well by adolescents.
D.Getting rewards is the greatest motivation for adolescents to study.
2.What does the underlined word "seductive" in Paragraph 2 mean

3.Which statement agrees with Vaidya's idea
A.The influence of the reward is weak in adolescents.
B.Parents should help children in making decisions.

D.Children need help in refocusing their attention.
4.What result does the teenager's brain underdevelopment lead to
A.Doing things after some thought. B.Making good decisions.
C.Joining in dangerous actions. D.Escaping risky behavior.
C
Today's world is not an easy adjustment for young adults. A key skill set for success is persistence (毅力),a characteristic that researchers say is heavily influenced by fathers. Researchers from Brigham Young University discovered that fathers are in a unique position to help their adolescent children learn persistence.
BYU professors Laura Padilla-Walker and Randal Day arrived at these findings after following 325 American families over several years. And over time, the persistence gained through fathers led to higher achievement in school.
"There are relatively few studies that stress the unique role of fathers," Padilla-Walker said. "This research also helps to prove that characteristics such as persistence—which can be taught—are key to a child's life success."
Researchers determined that dads need to practice an "authoritative" parenting style. Authoritative parenting is not authoritarian: rigid, demanding or controlling. Rather, an authoritative parenting style includes some of the following characteristics: children feel warmth and love from their father; responsibility and the reasons behind rules are stressed; children are given an appropriate level of autonomy (自主权).
In the study, about 52 percent of the dads exhibited above-average levels of authoritative parenting. A key finding is that over time, children raised by an authoritative father were significantly more likely to develop persistence, which leads to better outcomes in school.
This particular study examined 11-to 14-year-olds living in two-parent homes. Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a role in teaching the benefits of persistence, which is an avenue of future research.
(1).What is special about the BYU professors' study
A.It centered on fathers' role in parenting.
B.It was based on a number of large families.
C.It analyzed different kinds of parenting styles.
D.It aimed to improve kids' achievement in school.
(2).What would an authoritative father do when raising his children
A.Ignore their demands. B.Make decisions for them.
C.Control their behaviors. D.Explain the rules to them.
(3).Which group can be a focus of future studies according to the researchers
A.Single parents. B.Children aged from 11 to 14.
C.Authoritarian fathers. D.Mothers in two-parent homes.
(4).Which of the following is the best title for the text
A.Three Characteristics of Authoritative Fathers
B.Key Skills for Young Adults to Succeed in Future
C.Children Tend to Learn Determination from Father
D.Family Relationship Influences School Performance

During the rosy years of elementary school (小学), I enjoyed sharing my dolls and jokes, which allowed me to keep my high social status. I was the queen of the playground. Then came my tweens and teens, and mean girls and cool kids. They rose in the ranks not by being friendly but by smoking cigarettes, breaking rules and playing jokes on others, among whom I soon found myself.
Popularity is a well-explored subject in social psychology. Mitch Prinstein, a professor of clinical psychology sorts the popular into two categories: the likable and the status seekers. The likables' plays-well-with-others qualities strengthen schoolyard friendships, jump-start interpersonal skills and, when tapped early, are employed ever after in life and work. Then there's the kind of popularity that appears in adolescence: status born of power and even dishonorable behavior.
Enviable as the cool kids may have seemed, Dr. Prinstein's studies show unpleasant consequences. Those who were highest in status in high school, as well as those least liked in elementary school, are "most likely to engage (从事) in dangerous and risky behavior."
In one study, Dr. Prinstein examined the two types of popularity in 235 adolescents, scoring the least liked, the most liked and the highest in status based on student siirreys(调查研究). "We found that the least well-liked teens had become more aggressive over time toward their classmates. But so had those who were high in status. It clearly showed that while likability can lead to healthy adjustment, high status has just the opposite effect on us."
Dr. Prinstein has also found that the qualities that made the neighbors want you on a play date—sharing, kindness, openness—carry over to later years and make you better able to relate and connect with others.
In analyzing his and other research, Dr. Prinstein came to another conclusion: Not only is likability related to positive life outcomes, but it is also responsible for those outcomes, too. "Being liked creates opportunities for learning and for new kinds of life experiences that help somebody gain an advantage, "he said.
1. What sort of girl was the author in her early years of elementary school
A. Unkind.
B. Lonely.
C. Generous.
D. Cool.
2. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. The classification of the popular.
B. The characteristics of adolescents.
C. The importance of interpersonal skills.
D. The causes of dishonorable behavior.
3. What did Dr. Prinstein's study find about the most liked kids
A. They appeared to be aggressive.
B. They tended to be more adaptable.
C. They enjoyed the highest status.
D. They performed well academically.
4. What is the best title for the text
A. Be Nice—You Won't Finish Last
B. The Higher the Status, the Better
C. Be the Best—You Can Make It
D. More Self-Control, Less Aggressiveness

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I first played ping-pong in our basement at home. My brother and I asked for an old wooden table from my grandfather. It was painted green. Although it was very simple, it served its purpose every day. My father never really played any other sports with me, but ping-pong was one that he played quite well and it took me plenty of time before I could beat him. My elder brother was also a very good competitor.
When I got to university, I was happy to discover a ping-pong table in the common room. I spent a great deal of time there, often until the midnight. There were about three or four friends that I often played against. We were all at the same skill level. One of them had ever played in a tournament. A friend from Germany said his father had ever won the German national tournament. We took part in a tournament. My ranking was the third place, but I had beaten the first and second place winners when we had played for fun. I sometimes played with other friends who didn't play ping-pong well, so I would use my left hand to give them an advantage. But after I became so skilled with my left hand, they no longer had the advantage.
Later, I played in a ping-pong competition which was held by my university. I lost at first. But because it was double elimination(双淘汰制), I went to the loser group. I beat all the players and then played against the student who had beaten me in the first round. Surprisingly, I beat him 3 times and won the competition.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。

Later, there was a tournament held in the city where I studied.

解析:1.句意:我汗流浃背上气不接下气,很快就上了飞机。taxi出租车;plane飞机;station车站;crowd人群。根据第一句"I was late for my flight."及第二段首句"Suddenly, the plane began extreme turbulence."可知,此处是指作者上了飞机(plane)
2.句意:登机后,我和邻座打招呼--一个中年妇女坐在窗口,一个小女孩坐在过道的座位上。friend朋友;passenger乘客;neighbor邻居;colleague同事。根据后面的the little girl was sitting ____ beside me in her seat可知,小女孩坐在作者旁边的座位上。由此可推断出作者和邻座(neighbor)打招呼。
3.句意:我坐在她们中间。in front of在……的前面;across穿过;behind在……后面;between在……之间。根据I greeted my neighbors:a middle-aged woman sitting at the window, and a little girl sitting on the aisle seat可知,登机后,作者和邻座打招呼:一个中年妇女坐在窗前,一个小女孩坐在过道座位。由此可知,作者是坐在中年妇女和小女孩之间(between)。

10.句意:与此同时,小女孩安静地坐在我旁边的座位上。sincerely真诚地;quietly安静地;curiously好奇地;nervously紧张地。由下句可知,小女孩的涂色本和彩色蜡笔都整齐地放在一边,她的双手镇定地放在腿上。所以这里是指小女孩很安静(quietly),一点儿也不惊慌。
11.句意:然后,就像(颠簸)开始时那样突然,颠簸很快就结束了。end结束;raise提高;crash碰撞,坠毁;lit提起。根据just as suddenly as it had begun(正如它开始时一样突然)可知,此处是说颠簸很快就结束(end)了。

14.句意:我父亲是飞行员,他会带我回家的。winner获胜者;pilot飞行员;robot机器人;volunteer志愿者。根据语境可知,小女孩的父亲就是那个飞行员(pilot)。
15.句意:如果我们认识到信念的力量,我们将无所畏惧。standard标准;communication交流;belief信念;judgement判断。小女孩说她爸爸是飞行员,坚信爸爸要带她回家,所以她在飞机剧烈颠簸时不害怕。因此这是信念(belief)的作用。
第二节
答案:①to/with ②regular ③be found ④keeps ⑤for ⑥absolutely ⑦which ⑧to stay ⑨opportunities ⑩an
解析:①考查介词。be connected to/with与......有联系。
②考查词性转换。设空后是名词houses, 修饰名词要用形容词。故填regular。
③考查被动语态。主语building materials与find间是被动关系, 所以使用被动语态, 且空前是情态动词, 后接动词原形, 故填be found。
④考查动词时态和主谓一致。动词-ing形式作主语时, 谓语动词用第三人称单数形式, 故填keeps。
⑤考查介词。在make it difficult to do这个句型中如果需要加上不定式的逻辑主语, 需要借助介词for, 故填for。

⑦考查关系代词。此处引导非限制性定语从句, 指代主句所述的内容, 故填which。
⑧考查动词不定式作定语。设空处作time的定语, 说明其内容, 所以用不定式形式, 故填to stay。
⑨考查名词复数。opportunity是可数名词, 在其前面没有表单数意义的词修饰, 所以该单词需用复数形式, 故填opportunities。
⑩考查不定冠词。设空后是可数名词单数, 此处表泛指, 所以设空处需填不定冠词, important以元音音素开头, 故填an。

Paragraph 1:
"Something must have gone wrong with him," I thought to myself. Sure enough, with a closer look. I found the boy waving his hands desperately. I quickly dived into the water, swimming towards the boy at full speed. By the time I reached him, he had sunk to the bottom of the pool, which filled my heart with fright and concern. I picked the boy up and headed to the poolside, keeping his head above the water.
Paragraph 2:
Having the boy on the floor, I put my ear to his mouth and my fingers at his neck. I could tell that he had no heartbeat and wasn't breathing. Every second counted! Without hesitation, I did first aid, performing CPR as trained. Other guards watching anxiously, I carried on, sweating. Suddenly, a stream of water burst out of his mouth and the boy coughed intensely. Seeing the boy regain consciousness, those around broke into cheers. Exhausted, I sighed with relief. I thought had I accepted that easy position, I would have been nothing but a bystander. I'm happy I didn't take the easy way out.
