Everyone gets sick of hearing. “Put on your seat belt!”But it’s good advice. People who wear seat belts are 45 percent less likely to be killed while riding in the front seat of a car.

The US government wants more seat belt laws. It says children aged 4 to 15 are often killed in car accidents. In 2005, there were 1,627 children aged 4 to 15 killed in car accidents. More than 1,000 of those children were not wearing seat belts. If they had been wearing seat belts, 500 of those children could be alive today.

These children are too old to be in car seats, but they often sit in the back seat. Seat belt laws in many states, including Wisconsin, only require people in the front seat to wear seat belts. Children who aren’t wearing seat belts can be thrown from the car. The risk of dying in an accident is three times greater if the person is thrown from the car.

New laws could require children aged 4 to 8 to be in booster seats in the car. Booster seats help seat belts fit children properly. Right now, only 5 percent of children aged 4 to 8 are seated in booster seats.

While parents have the choice of whether wearing seat belts or not, children are too young to make that choice. Even if you decide not to wear a seat belt, make sure you children are in seat belts and car seats. It’s the law and it will save their lives.

Making Peace with Your Parents

As a teen, you’re going through big changes physically and mentally. Your interests are expanding.   1   

Here is the challenge：Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers that all out in that world. These conflicts can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses. Sometimes conflicts can’t be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.

    For instance, try to find a time to talk when your parents are all not angry, tired, distracted, or hungry. A good time to talk is when you’re all relaxed. Timing is everything. If the conversation begins to turn into an argument, you’d better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation—for now.   2  Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you’re listening.   3 

Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and care about each others’ feelings call disagree without things getting ugly.

      4  How do you build trust? Trust comes by actually doing what you say you’re going to do. Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships. Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule-makers—they’re interesting people who like to watch movies. And go shopping—just like their teenagers!

    What do you do if you are trying your best, but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky?   5  You can find supportive adults, such as a teacher or a coach, who can lend an ear.

    Remember you can only change your own behavior. Your parents are the only ones who can change theirs.

       A．It also gives them a chance to clear things up if you’re not on the same page.

      B．You can pick it up again when everyone’s more relaxed.

C．And then you’ll be able to accept what your parents say.

D．Faced with the challenge, children don’t know what to do.

E．You are more likely to get along with your parents and have more independence if your parents believe in you.

F．And your desire to take control of your own life is growing.

G．You may consider seeking outside help.

七選五（共5小題；每小題2分，共10分）

根據(jù)短文內容，從短文后的七個選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

The band that wasn’t

Have you ever wanted to be part of a band as a famous singer or musician? Have you ever dreamed of playing in front of thousands of people at a concert, at which everyone is clapping and appreciating your music? Do you sing karaoke and pretend you are a famous singer like Song Zuying or Liu Huan? To be honest, a lot of people attach great importance to becoming rich and famous.      1    

Many musicians meet and form a band because they like to write and play their own music. They may start as a group of high-school students, for whom practising their music in someone's house is the first step to fame. Sometimes they may play to passers-by in the street or subway so that they can earn some extra money for themselves or to pay for their instruments.      2      Of course they hope to make records in a studio and sell millions of copies to become millionaires!

     3      It was called the Monkees and began as a TV show. The musicians were to play jokes on each other as well as play music, most of which was based loosely on the Beatles. The TV organizers had planned to find four musicians who could act as well as sing. They put an advertisement in a newspaper looking for rock musicians, but they could only find one who was good enough. They had to use actors for the other three members of the band.

     4      So during the broadcasts they just pretended to sing. Anyhow their performances were humorous enough to be copied by other groups. They were so popular that their fans formed clubs in order to get more familiar with them. Each week on TV, the Monkees would play and sing songs written by other musicians. However, after a year or so in which they became more serious about their work, the Monkees started to play and sing their own songs like a real band. Then they produced their own records and started touring and playing their own music.     5     . The band broke up about 1970, but happily they reunited in the mid-1980s. They produced a new record in 1996, with which they celebrated their formal time as a real band.

A. In the USA they became even more popular than the Beatles and sold even more records.

B. The Monkees’ television show stayed on the air for years after the group broke up. .

C. However, there was one band that started in a different way.

D. But just how do people form a band?

E. Later they may give performances in pubs or clubs, for which they are paid in cash.

F. Most of us probably have our favorite performers, stars or bands, but many of us also want to discover new sounds and rhythms.

G. As some of these actors could not sing well enough, they had to rely on other musicians to help them.

“You do not need to be a rocket scientist.” Americans hear these words often.

People say them in schools, offices and factories. Broadcasters on radio and television use them.

How did the expression begin? No one seems to know it. 66 “It grew,” he says, “because rocket scientists probably are the most intelligent people around.”

Not everyone would agree. Some people might be considered more intelligent than rocket scientists. For example, a person who speaks and reads fifteen languages, or a medical doctor who operates on the brain. Still, many people would agree that there is something special about scientists who build rockets. 67

Moving pictures from before World War II showed a man named Buck Rogers landing on the planet Mars. He was a hero who could withdraw any enemy from outer space. The rocket scientist is a different kind of hero. 68

Rocket scientists, however, can have problems just like everyone else. A Washington rocket scientist tells about a launch that was postponed many, many times. Finally, everything seemed right. Mechanical failures had been repaired. The weather was good. The scientists had planned that part of the rocket would fall into the ocean after the launch. All ships and boats within many kilometers of the danger area had been warned. But in the last few seconds a small boat entered the area. 69

70 One scientist said, "As a child I loved to build rockets. Now I am grown. I still love to build rockets. And now I get paid for it."

A．he or she makes space travel possible.

B．It’s dangerous for rocket scientists to build rockets.

C．Maybe it has something to do with the mystery of space travel.

D．When the work goes well, most rocket scientists enjoy their jobs.

E. Have you ever heard of the space travel?

F. But an official of the American space agency, NASA, says the expression just grew.

G. Once again, the launch was put off.
