Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But last summer Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son . Suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. "The door to his room is always shut , " Joanna noted
Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter." She used to cuddle up(依偎） against me on the sofa and talk," said Mark. "Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is understanding which time is which."
Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what's on their mind. "In fact, parents are first on the list," said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense during the teen years,"Riera explained. "They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last."
Parents who know what's going on in their teenagers' lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children wan to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental(思想的）break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.

A. keeps himself away from his parents B. begins to dislike his parents
C. is always busy with his study D. doesn't want to be ignored
25. What troubles Tina and Mark most is that________
A. their daughter isn't as lovely as before

A. Teenagers talk a lot with their friends. B. Teenagers do not talk much with their parents

When you think of Chinese food in the U.S., fried rice, or General Tso’s chicken may first come to mind. But a new museum exhibition in New York City is trying to expand visitors’ palates (味蕾). It features stories of famous cooks like Martin Yan and home cooks whose food represents18 different regional cooking styles of China.
“I think it’s unfair to just classify(分类) Chinese cooking as one,” says Kian Lam Kho, a co- curator (策展人) of “Sour, Sweet, Bitter, Spicy: Stories of Chinese Food and Identity in America” at the Museum of Chinese in America. “Even with the same dish or same cuisine(菜肴), every family has a different variation（变化）." That’s why the curators say if you want to taste the full range of Chinese cuisine in the U.S, you’ll need to go beyond restaurants and into home kitchens, which can play a central role in many immigrants’ lives.
“The kitchen itself is kind of a comfort when you come to a new country. That’s the one place where you set up as your home base, and you cook things that you remember from your past,” explains co-curator Audra Ang.
One of the home cooks showcased in the exhibition is Ni Biying, 80, of Manhattan. She worked as a live-in babysitter for years before she could finally afford to rent a home with her own kitchen. These days, you can usually find her moving around her one-bedroom apartment as a sweet smell of vinegar and rice wine floats from her stove. For Ni, a small dinner for friends and family means preparing almost a dozen different dishes. She learned some of her techniques from her father, who made most of her family’ s meals when she was a child. “I still make the beef with stir-fried celery my father used to cook," she says. And it’s the kind of comfort food that defines Chinese food for Ni.
28. What is the new museum exhibition mainly about
A. History of Chinese immigration. B. Exploration of famous restaurants.
C. Stories of Chinese food and cooks. D. Cuisine of different countries.
29. Why does the kitchen play a key role in many immigrants’ lives
A. It provides a wealthy life. B. It helps them to accept new cultures.
C. It brings a sense of belonging. D. It enables them to forget the past.
30. What can we learn about Ni Biying from paragraph 4
A. She worked in a Chinese restaurant. B. She made most meals as a child.
C. She lives with a big family. D. She learned cooking from her father.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Chinese Restaurant Tells Immigrant Tales B. Home Cooking Brings More to the Table
C. Immigrants Seek their Fortune in the U.S. D. Cuisine Gains New Variations
D
The 90-minute documentary, Amazing China, which is co-produced by China Central Television and China Film Corp, opened in theaters nationwide on Friday.
The film focuses on the major achievements the country has made since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2012 under Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era（时代）.
The documentary focuses on key Chinese infrastructure（基础设施）projects in aerospace, high-speed rail, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and the world’s largest single-dish telescope FAST. The documentary also informs viewers that seven of the world’s 10 biggest sea ports are now in China. And that the country now has the longest high-speed rail network in the world.
Speaking of the significance of the new documentary for the Chinese, La Peikang, the head of China Film Corp, says: “It’s not only about showing the achievements, but presenting the status quo of China.“ The film will help people to know our country better. The moving stories behind the Chinese miracles reflect the people’s endeavors and spirit.”
A good documentary is usually a vivid portrayal（描绘）of individual stories rather than slogans and Amazing China is no exception. One of the most touching moments in the film is probably footage from an interview of Nan Rendong, often called the “father of FAST”. Amazing China also focuses on common people.
In the film, you see a young Tibetan woman volunteering in rural areas to help people poverty.
The movie shows that their work is not easy, but their spirit and unwavering belief make it possible to achieve their targets. And, they are just representative of the many Chinese who work as hard.
China is the world’s second-largest economy. But the country still faces “the contradiction between unbalanced and inadequate development and the people’s ever-growing needs for a better life”, as stated in the CPC’s 19th National Congress in November. However, as this cinematic production proves, the documentary is a good way for country to boost self-confidence and to aspire for a brighter future.
32．The underlined words “the status quo” most probably mean ________.
A. the cultural differences B. the existing state
C. the national strengths D. the economic development
33．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage
A. The documentary is to be filmed in the near future.
B. The documentary is intended for foreigners.
C. The documentary focuses on common people more.
D. The documentary unfolds through presenting individual stories.
34．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage
A. A story of common people B. Remarkable Achievements
C. A New Era of China D. A powerful Country
35．Where can you possibly read this passage
A. A government report. B. A brochure.
C. An academic journal D. Newspaper.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Traditions are different from culture to culture. Something that sounds rude in one country may be the most polite thing to do in another. 36．
Spitting
People think spitting on or at someone is one of the worst behaviors, and the police even consider it is a kind of attack. 37． When polite children pass by, their elders usually spit at them. Of course, they do this with best wishes. They wish children to live a long life. They also spit on any gift they are about to give. When they move into a new home, they first go outside and spit in the four directions
Flowers
Flowers are usually sent when people have parties, visit friends, thank others and so on.
38． In Germany and France, people use carnations (康乃馨) to decorate tombs. Yellow flowers represent hate in Russia and Iran, and purple flowers are bad luck in Italy and Brazil.
39． In France and Armenia, an even number (偶数) of flowers is for happiness and odd numbers are for sadness
Cleaning Your Plate
When we were young, our parents always told us to clean our plate and not to waste food.40． In the Philippines, North Africa, and some areas of China, the host will put more food on a plate once it is clean. Only when a guest leaves a little bit of food on his plate, the host will think he is full. Or a clean plate means the guest can’t get good service.
To do the right thing, when we are in other places, we’d better respect and follow the traditions, even though we think they are strange.
A. Here lists some of them.
B. Even the number of flowers can be rude.
C. But sometimes it’s rude to give flowers.
D. There are a lot of ways to experience other cultures.
