For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighbouring countries, the parent teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do
Both sides want peace but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.
In this article, I’ll describe three no win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the colour of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is — politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg — the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority — someone who actually knows something —and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.
4. Why does the author compare the parent teen war to a border conflict
A. Both can continue for generations. B. Both are about where to draw the line.
C. Neither has any clear winner. D. Neither can be put to an end.
5. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean
A. The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.
B. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.
C. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.
D. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.
6. Why do parents and teens want to be right
A. To give orders to the other. B. To know more than the other.
C. To gain respect from the other. D. To get the other to behave properly.
7. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows
A. Solutions to the parent teen problems. B. Examples of the parent teen war.
C. Causes of the parent teen conflicts. D. Future of the parent teen relationship.
C
Chinese high schools differ from American high schools in many ways.
The class structure (结构) is different. Students have each class in a different room with a different set of classmates in America, while Chinese students remain in the same classroom all day.
In addition to the structural difference, Chinese high schools also differ from American high schools in the college application process (大学申请过程) that students undergo.
In the United States, colleges use an application system that considers a student's high school grades, standardized test scores, after-school activities. teacher recommendations, and often a personal interview. Usually, the last few months of senior year has little work.
The Chinese college admission process is very different. College acceptance is depended on standardized examinations held once a year at the end of each school year. Although students take tests at the end of their first and second years of high school, the test that really matters is the exam taken at the end of their final year of high school.
The main way in which Chinese and American high schools differ is in the way information is taught.
In America, personal expression is valued heavily. Many classes are based on discussion of the material, and teachers expect students to join in this dialogue, so the classroom can become noisy. Classroom participation (参与), meaning how a student contributes to the class discussion, is an important part of a student's grade, so a student who works hard but never speaks up could receive a lower grade as a result.
Chinese classrooms do not place this same importance on classroom participation. Class is based on the teacher talking and the students listening quietly. Respect (尊敬) for teachers is far more important. When a student is asked to speak, he or she is expected to stand. This classroom is more formal and respectful. But it also means less communication between the teacher and students.
8. What is the class structure for students in America
A. They have one teacher. B. They study in the same classroom.
C. They have the same classmates. D. They have different classmates and classrooms.
9. What are paragraphs 4、5 mainly about
A. Different class structures.
B. The way information is taught.
C. How to get high marks in the final year of high school.
D. The differences of the college application process between America and China.
10. How can a student most probably get a high mark in an American class
A. By being noisy B. By being active in class discussion.
C. By having respect for teachers. D. By working hard and not speaking.
11. How does the author develop the text
A. By listing numbers. B. By following time order.
C. By presenting research findings. D. By comparing the differences.
D
Friends play a very important part in everyone’s life. Friendship usually develops during childhood. New friends are made when you are at school. Those friends that you make as a student can usually last long. Friends influence your development, maturity(成熟) and sense of responsibility(责任). A familiar opinion is “You can tell a lot about a person by knowing who his friends are.” Friendship is based on common interests. If you like sports, most of your friends are likely to be active. If you enjoy reading and shopping, most of your friends do the same.
Some people call you their friends for the wrong reasons. These people are not really friends. They are superficial(表面的)only “friends” on the outside, not the inside where it counts. Superficial friends only want to be your friends if it is to their advantage. True friends are there whether you are rich or poor. It is easy to have many so-called “friends” if you are rich. By this time you should be able to recognize your friends as the real or the “phoney”.
True friends are most special. Sometimes they might not easy to find, so you can consider yourself very lucky if you have one true friend. This friend is eager to help you whenever necessary. He or she knows you would do the same for them. A true friend is someone you can talk to about any subject or problem. You and your true friend have good understanding of each other. True friends support you, take your side, and build up your confidence.
12. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph
A How to make true friends. B. What is friendship based on.
C. We should make friends in our childhood. D. Friends play a very important role in our life.
13. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. It is easy to have many true friends if you are rich.
B. If you have no music in you one of your friends will be a music lover.
C. The friendship developing during your school days will be with you for a long time.
D. What you value above anything is the friendship developing during childhood.
14. What does the underlined phrase “so-called ‘friends’” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Friends in need. B. Fair-weather friends.
C. Those who can help you. D. Those who often gives you money.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards “true friends” according to paragraph 3
A. True friends are too difficult to find. B. You can only share sadness with a true friend.
C. You can simply share happiness with a true friend. D. True friends will stand by you whatever happens.
