As the world around them is changing, teenagers continue to need guidance and support from both parents. Studies show that teens who have an active relationship with their fathers are less likely to involve (牵涉) themselves in dangerous behaviors and more likely to succeed in school and develop higher self worth, because their fathers go beyond social expectations to devote attention to them.
Peer (同龄人) pressure has always been a big part of the teens' experience. Even the best father can't completely protect their kids from the growing influence of their peer group. However, studies show that teenagers whose fathers focus on their lives are more likely to resist (抵抗) the more bad effects of peer pressure, taking drugs, for example.
Teens may not like to admit it, but they are watching their parents closely and often follow their example. An interesting finding explains just how important parents are, especially Dad. Swiss researchers discovered that if Dad attends church, even though Mom doesn't, 44 percent of the kids are still more likely to keep going to church as adults. But if Mom goes regularly and Dad never shows up, only 2 percent of the kids continue to attend.
Teenagers face a lot of difficult choices, especially in their later teens. Fathers don't get to make those choices for them, but they can be influenced. For example, teenagers can learn a lot from their parents' concern on what to do when they finish high school. Should they go directly to college and, if so, where Should they consider going to trade schools, joining the army or looking for a job A father's guidance brings a long term perspective that teens often lack to these important decisions.
25．Teenagers without fathers' focus are more likely to ________.
A．have higher self worth
B．experience some dangerous things
C．become the best students in school
D．resist all bad effects of peer pressure
26．What does the third paragraph tell us
A．More teenagers pay no attention to their parents.
B．Teenagers often treat their fathers as role models.
C．Teenagers never attend church with their mothers.
D．Fewer teenagers like to attend church with their fathers.
27．What can we learn from the text
A．Fathers should make choices for teenagers directly.
B．Teenagers care less about what their parents do.
C．Mothers have no effect on their children's life.
D．Teenagers are greatly influenced by their fathers.
C
I came to the United States ten years ago. I would always say that I was trying to study, but there were always things like work and my kids that would not allow me to start.
Now I realized that those were only excuses. What stopped me was that I was afraid to start studying again. I always believed I would learn by myself.
One day, however, my son told me that he was sad because his friends would come over and I didn't understand them because I didn't speak English. He was also sad because I could never help him with his homework. That same day, I told myself, “Rocio, you have to start believing in yourself and you will see you can make it.”
The next day, I went downtown to look for a big banner (横幅) in front of the school which said that they offered classes for adults. I came in to see if I could join, but the classes were closed already. That night I took the kids to the movies, and on the way back, I told them we would take a new route. I ended up getting lost. That's the way I found Chaffey College. The following Monday, I went to ask for information. They told me that summer school was starting that week.
That's how I started studying English last summer. It is difficult, but I have had great rewards. My daughter had written a story for school. It was about the female they most admired and why. She wrote that I was the person she most admired because I had started going to college. I will never forget this.

When scientists go to a forest to study monkeys and their habits and behaviors, how do they know who's who
In the past, scientists had to make marks on each of the animals to distinguish them. But in the future, they may have a much easier way to tell them apart thanks to facial recognition technology.
A research team from China's Northwest University is using facial recognition technology to identify thousands of snub-nosed monkeys that live on Qinling Mountain in Shaanxi province.
Similar to human facial recognition, the technology that is used to identify monkeys uses their facial features to create a database that includes every monkey, Xinhua reported. “When the system is fully developed, we can connect it with cameras set up in the mountains. The system will automatically recognize the monkeys, name them and analyze their behavior,” said Zhang He, a member of the research team. “For each snub-nosed monkey, we have 700 to 800 image samples, and the recognition success rate is 94 percent,”Zhang added.
“We used mobile phones and portable cameras with the monkeys in tests at distances ranging from about 3 to 10 meters,” said He Gang, a member of the research team and an associate professor in the College of Life Sciences at Northwest University. “There is no need to interfere with the monkeys. Such a method of sampling is clearly non-invasive.”
Compared to humans, facial recognition technology for monkeys is more complicated because of their hairier faces. The color of their hair causes them to blend into their environment. These factors make it harder for computers to identify them.
“Monkeys do not cooperate with researchers in the same way humans do. It is difficult to take high-quality pictures and videos of them, which are needed to improve the system,” said Li Baoguo, leader of the research team.
Currently, there are about 4,000 snub-nosed monkeys living on Qinling Mountain. The team's goal is to successfully identify every monkey that lives there.
32. What problem do scientists face while studying monkeys according to the text
A. How to mark them. B. How to tell them apart.
C. How to understand their behavior. D. How to observe them clearly
33. What does the article tell us about facial recognition technology for monkeys
A It is now widely adopted in China.
B. It works better than human facial recognition.
C. It will use monkeys' behavior to create a database.
D. It can help scientists study monkeys without disturbing them.
34. What does “these factors” in paragraph 6 refer to
a. Image samples. b. Hairy faces. c. Hair color. d. The environment.
A. ab B. ac C. bc D. bd
35. What is the author's main purpose in writing the article
A To introduce a new way to identify monkeys.
B. To show the importance of studying monkeys.
C. To compare different ways to identify monkeys.
D. To explain difficulties in developing a new system.
