When you concentrate on one task, you find you have 49 that you didn’t even know you had. The pressure at work is on the rise. In the past, the expectations were 50 among all the family members. But now, in the 51 family, the expectations are now concentrated on the individual(个体) partner. If you feel 24 hours per day are not enough, it is not because the day has too few hours, but because you have too many activities. The 52 is very simple: Refuse to accept so much work. People tend to forget that one who can deal with stress well is given more work—until one day he 53 .

Most people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice. However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.
Born in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies’ two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris.
Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X-ray facilities to help save the lives of wounded soldiers. Irene continued the work by developing X-ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgium. Her services were recognized in the form of a Military Medal by the French government.
In 1918, Irene became her mother’s assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in love and were married in 1926. Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later.
Like her mother, Irene combined family and career. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity (辐射能). Irene Jolioc-Curie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956.
56．Why was Irene Curie awarded a Military Medal?
A. Because she contributed to saving the wounded.
B. Because she won the Nobel Prize with Frederic.
C. Because she received a degree in mathematics.
D. Because she worked as a helper to her mother.
57．Where did Irene Curie meet her husband Frederic Joliot?
A. At the University of Paris. B. At a military hospital.
C. At the College of Sévigné. D. At the Curie Institute.
58．When was the second child of Irene Curie and Frederic Joliot born?
A. In 1932. B. In 1927. C. In 1897. C. In 1926.

Exams affect the whole family. As teenagers bury themselves in textbooks, parents have to behave like saints(圣人), ignoring doubts—is he actually studying up there, or just playing online games? Forget any practical help around the house. “He’s sitting at the kitchen table reading the TV guide，” says the mother of a 15?year?old boy. “But when I ask if he can take the rubbish out, he looks very angry and says, ‘But I’m revising’．” Chloe, 16, comes from a large family and finds it is hard to revise. “I become angry easily，” Chloe says. “I complain to my mum that there’s too much noise and too much mess.”
Beyond these practical considerations, parents are confused about how much they should get involved. Some call for expert help. Others buy lots of practice exam papers. But you may use your skills to spur your children. Anne, 18, admits that the greatest driving force for revision is being in competition with her twin sister. My mother always says my sister is better than me.
Bribery(行贿)is not unknown. “Some parents offer their children material or cash rewards，” says Mike Evans, the author of How To Pass Your Exams. “This may achieve the required result in some cases, but I think it does nothing for the longer-term aim, which I believe is to encourage them to take responsibility for their own personal development.”
“I deal with exam stress all the time，” says an experienced teacher. “Basically, the pupils and I have an agreement to convince the parents that all is going well. Then the parents back off and everything gets better.” Her fantasy solution would keep parents away for six weeks so that they don’t pass on pre?exam stress to their children.

A. children shouldn’t make parents doubt them
B．children should help with some housework
C．parents should create a peaceful environment
D．parents should bear all their children’s behavior

A．Educate. B．Punish. C．Comfort. D．Encourage.
66. What is Mike Evans’s attitude towards parents’ bribing children for better grades?
A．Supportive B．Opposed(反对). C．Objective.（客观） D．Unknown.
67. What is the main idea of the text?
A. How to get along well with your children.
B．How to help your children do well at school.
C．Tips for parents to help children prepare for exams.
D．Tips for parents to help children overcome test anxiety.

Teens don’t want to be seen with their parents, much less talk to them or do anything with them. That’s what we hear all the time. I don’t believe it. Oh，sure, when my daughter and my son were in their teens, they wanted to spend most of their free time with their friends. But there were always those special times planned when we enjoyed being alone with each other, when we connected deeply, and when we were reminded again how much we loved one another.
I recall how delighted my 14—year—old daughter, Alisa, felt when I asked her for a date to see a movie. It was a bittersweet Italian movie, Cinema Paradiso, and I wanted this story to give her a sense of how I grew up as an Italian boy in a small town, where life was simple and where everyone knew one another. I wanted her to know how her father had been brought up and shaped.
We both laughed and cried during the same scenes in the movie. She was_attached_to the movie. I decided we should complete our evening with some lively conversation at a nearby bakery. I told her the movie was now so much more special for me because I had shared it with her. She smiled. She understood. We made a memory that night.
From our living room window, I saw my 13?year?old son, Jason, tearfully searching our vegetable garden for a place to bury his pet boa constrictor (蟒蛇). Because my son had suffered from asthma (哮喘) and allergies, he could never have a dog, a faithful friend that he wanted so much. Every pet he owned—lizards, fish, or snakes—had died.
I was at his side as we searched for the best gravesite (墓地). We dug the grave, said our goodbyes and then he cried. He cried hard and he asked me why every pet he had owned died so soon. I could feel his heart break against my chest. I just held him close. He let me hold his aching soul. He needed me while he was confused. Share your heart with your teens. Show them repeatedly that you know and love who they really are. There are tender memories waiting to be made.

The last five pounds. The vanity(虚荣) pounds. The dream weight. The fantasy weight. The high school weight. Yes, many names are given to the weight – the five pounds – that seems just out of reach no matter how much we exercise and improve our eating habits.
But why is it out of reach? Is it all in our heads? Or is it because the body has a set-point or ideal weight – a weight to which it doesn’t want to give in?
“There is no such thing as ideal body weight,” says James, author of “Weight Loss That Lasts.” “But your body does resist you when you are trying to lose weight. It gets used to a certain weight over a long period of time and then will defend that weight.”
In other words, the body’s “set point” can be lowered – or raised, he says, but it takes time to reset that new weight. That period of time is at least six months. “I often ask patients, ‘What is the lowest stable weight of your adult life?’ to get an idea of what is realistic” in terms of weight loss and maintenance(保持), James says.
He refers to the body’s refusal to change, weight-wise, as an “biological control system that prevents us from going hungry and dying – part of our primitive(原始的) biology.”
Some people might get down to their dream weight for a short period but then can’t keep it long because the calorie limits are too strict once the body starts defending itself against weight loss.
“That’s why it’s important to set realistic goals,” he says. “The idea of the ‘ideal weight’ or ‘dream weight’ is really just a useless exercise.”
But let’s say your goal is realistic and has been set by a nutritionist (营养师)or other weight-loss professionals and you are still plateauing. What could be going on? The reason is that you need fewer calories the less you weigh. So if you want to continue to drop weight, you have to drop calories and increase calorie-burn.
James encourages people to tell the difference between weight loss goals for health reasons and those to do with vanity. “They are different issues,” James says. “One is where important health benefits are seen and the other is about vanity – wanting to look good in a bathing suit.”
72. What might a” set-point weight” refer to?
A. A weight that can be raised or lowered.
B. A weight that you have kept for a long time.
C. A weight that you are trying to lose.
D. A weight that the body doesn’t want to change.
73. People can’t keep their dream weight for a long time because_________.
A. the body system stops us from hunger
B. we can’t keep the habits of dieting for six months
C. we haven’t turned to nutritionists for advice
D. the calorie limits are extremely strict
74. What does it mean by saying “you are still plateauing” ?
A. Your weight keeps increasing.
B. You are still worrying.
C. Your weight remains unchanged.
D. You are still dreaming.
75. According to the passage, what is James’ most possible attitude towards weight loss for vanity?
A. Neutral(中立的). B. Critical(批判的). C. Supportive. D. Encouraging.

When you concentrate on one task, you find you have 49 that you didn’t even know you had. The pressure at work is on the rise. In the past, the expectations were 50 among all the family members. But now, in the 51 family, the expectations are now concentrated on the individual(个体) partner. If you feel 24 hours per day are not enough, it is not because the day has too few hours, but because you have too many activities. The 52 is very simple: Refuse to accept so much work. People tend to forget that one who can deal with stress well is given more work—until one day he 53 .

Most people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice. However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.
Born in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies’ two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris.
Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X-ray facilities to help save the lives of wounded soldiers. Irene continued the work by developing X-ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgium. Her services were recognized in the form of a Military Medal by the French government.
In 1918, Irene became her mother’s assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in love and were married in 1926. Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later.
Like her mother, Irene combined family and career. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity (辐射能). Irene Jolioc-Curie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956.
56．Why was Irene Curie awarded a Military Medal?
A. Because she contributed to saving the wounded.

Exams affect the whole family. As teenagers bury themselves in textbooks, parents have to behave like saints(圣人), ignoring doubts—is he actually studying up there, or just playing online games? Forget any practical help around the house. “He’s sitting at the kitchen table reading the TV guide，” says the mother of a 15?year?old boy. “But when I ask if he can take the rubbish out, he looks very angry and says, ‘But I’m revising’．” Chloe, 16, comes from a large family and finds it is hard to revise. “I become angry easily，” Chloe says. “I complain to my mum that there’s too much noise and too much mess.”
Beyond these practical considerations, parents are confused about how much they should get involved. Some call for expert help. Others buy lots of practice exam papers. But you may use your skills to spur your children. Anne, 18, admits that the greatest driving force for revision is being in competition with her twin sister. My mother always says my sister is better than me.
Bribery(行贿)is not unknown. “Some parents offer their children material or cash rewards，” says Mike Evans, the author of How To Pass Your Exams. “This may achieve the required result in some cases, but I think it does nothing for the longer-term aim, which I believe is to encourage them to take responsibility for their own personal development.”
“I deal with exam stress all the time，” says an experienced teacher. “Basically, the pupils and I have an agreement to convince the parents that all is going well. Then the parents back off and everything gets better.” Her fantasy solution would keep parents away for six weeks so that they don’t pass on pre?exam stress to their children.

C．Tips for parents to help children prepare for exams.

Teens don’t want to be seen with their parents, much less talk to them or do anything with them. That’s what we hear all the time. I don’t believe it. Oh，sure, when my daughter and my son were in their teens, they wanted to spend most of their free time with their friends. But there were always those special times planned when we enjoyed being alone with each other, when we connected deeply, and when we were reminded again how much we loved one another.
I recall how delighted my 14—year—old daughter, Alisa, felt when I asked her for a date to see a movie. It was a bittersweet Italian movie, Cinema Paradiso, and I wanted this story to give her a sense of how I grew up as an Italian boy in a small town, where life was simple and where everyone knew one another. I wanted her to know how her father had been brought up and shaped.
We both laughed and cried during the same scenes in the movie. She was_attached_to the movie. I decided we should complete our evening with some lively conversation at a nearby bakery. I told her the movie was now so much more special for me because I had shared it with her. She smiled. She understood. We made a memory that night.
From our living room window, I saw my 13?year?old son, Jason, tearfully searching our vegetable garden for a place to bury his pet boa constrictor (蟒蛇). Because my son had suffered from asthma (哮喘) and allergies, he could never have a dog, a faithful friend that he wanted so much. Every pet he owned—lizards, fish, or snakes—had died.
I was at his side as we searched for the best gravesite (墓地). We dug the grave, said our goodbyes and then he cried. He cried hard and he asked me why every pet he had owned died so soon. I could feel his heart break against my chest. I just held him close. He let me hold his aching soul. He needed me while he was confused. Share your heart with your teens. Show them repeatedly that you know and love who they really are. There are tender memories waiting to be made.

The last five pounds. The vanity(虚荣) pounds. The dream weight. The fantasy weight. The high school weight. Yes, many names are given to the weight – the five pounds – that seems just out of reach no matter how much we exercise and improve our eating habits.
But why is it out of reach? Is it all in our heads? Or is it because the body has a set-point or ideal weight – a weight to which it doesn’t want to give in?
“There is no such thing as ideal body weight,” says James, author of “Weight Loss That Lasts.” “But your body does resist you when you are trying to lose weight. It gets used to a certain weight over a long period of time and then will defend that weight.”
In other words, the body’s “set point” can be lowered – or raised, he says, but it takes time to reset that new weight. That period of time is at least six months. “I often ask patients, ‘What is the lowest stable weight of your adult life?’ to get an idea of what is realistic” in terms of weight loss and maintenance(保持), James says.
He refers to the body’s refusal to change, weight-wise, as an “biological control system that prevents us from going hungry and dying – part of our primitive(原始的) biology.”
Some people might get down to their dream weight for a short period but then can’t keep it long because the calorie limits are too strict once the body starts defending itself against weight loss.
“That’s why it’s important to set realistic goals,” he says. “The idea of the ‘ideal weight’ or ‘dream weight’ is really just a useless exercise.”
But let’s say your goal is realistic and has been set by a nutritionist (营养师)or other weight-loss professionals and you are still plateauing. What could be going on? The reason is that you need fewer calories the less you weigh. So if you want to continue to drop weight, you have to drop calories and increase calorie-burn.
James encourages people to tell the difference between weight loss goals for health reasons and those to do with vanity. “They are different issues,” James says. “One is where important health benefits are seen and the other is about vanity – wanting to look good in a bathing suit.”
72. What might a” set-point weight” refer to?
A. A weight that can be raised or lowered.
B. A weight that you have kept for a long time.
C. A weight that you are trying to lose.
D. A weight that the body doesn’t want to change.
73. People can’t keep their dream weight for a long time because_________.
A. the body system stops us from hunger
B. we can’t keep the habits of dieting for six months
C. we haven’t turned to nutritionists for advice
D. the calorie limits are extremely strict
74. What does it mean by saying “you are still plateauing” ?
A. Your weight keeps increasing.
B. You are still worrying.
C. Your weight remains unchanged.
D. You are still dreaming.
75. According to the passage, what is James’ most possible attitude towards weight loss for vanity?
A. Neutral(中立的). B. Critical(批判的). C. Supportive. D. Encouraging.
