16．As any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows，there is far more to a family meal than food．Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50families to find out just how much more．
Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping （錄像） the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes．They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children．But as the number of children gets larger，conversation gives way to the parents'efforts to control the loud noise they make．That can have an important effect on the children．"In general the more question-asking the parents do，the higher the children's IQ scores，"Lewis says．"And the more children there are，the less question-asking there is．"
The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings （兄弟姐妹）．Lewis found that in families with three or four children，dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child，who has the most to talk about，and the youngest，who needs the most attention．"Middle children are invisible，"says Lewis．"When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner，chances are it's the middle child．"There is，however，one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention："When the TV is on，"Lewis says，"dinner is a non-event．"
67．The writer's purpose in writing the text is toA．
A．report on the findings of a study
B．give information about family problems
C．teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner table
D．show the relationship between parents and children
68．Parents with large families ask fewer questions at dinner becauseB．
A．they are busy serving food to their children
B．they are busy keeping order at the dinner table
C．they have to pay more attention to younger children
D．they are tired out having prepared food for the whole family
69．By saying"Middle children are invisible"in paragraph 3，Lewis means that middle childrenA．
A．get the least attention from the family
B．have to help their parents to serve dinner
C．a(chǎn)re often kept away from the dinner table
D．find it hard to keep up with other children
70．Which of the following statements would the writer agree to？D
A．It is important to have the right food for children．
B．It is a good idea to have the TV on during dinner．
C．Elder children should help the younger ones at dinner．
D．Parents should talk to each of their children frequently．

4．There are so many different plastic cards that adults have to carry around-library cards，savings cards for different banks，credit cards，just to name a few…So why not have one to replace them all？
Scott Barnhill，an 1l-year-old fifth-grade student in the US，has come up with an idea for a"Security One Card"．
Sound smart？The US Patent（專利） Office thought so，and it approved a patent for his idea in April．
Here's an example of how Barnhill's idea would work．
Let's say you have the three cards mentioned above．Instead of carrying them all，you could have just one by having additional magnetic strips（磁條） added to it．
The magnetic strips can be added to any plastic card，even a blank one．
Companies could add their information to one of the strips．For example，you could ask a library to add a strip to your bankcard．
Barnhill has a lot of hobbies，including designing websites．He got the idea at the age of 9when he saw his father using a keycard to enter their hotel room．He thought，"The hotels are wasting money with the key cards．"So，instead of using a hotel-issued key card，guests could use their credit cards--if the hotel added a special magnetic strip．At check-out，the strip would simply be removed．
Now that he has his patent，his next step is a letter-writing campaign to get support from major credit card companies．
"I'm going to be writing letters to credit card companies to ask if they can co-operate．I hope they'll give me money every time someone puts a strip on the back of another card，or every time the idea is used，"Barnhill said．"I'll write the letters and see what they say．If they say no，I'll ask someone else，another credit card company．"
He is hoping to make money from his patent and has decided it would be better to collect royalties（專利使用費(fèi)）rather than sell his patent if the idea   take off．
"The ATM person who invented that sold it totally，and if he'd chosen royalties he'd get like 2cents for every transaction （交易） and he'd be a billionaire now，"Scott said．

68．The immediate cause of Scott's invention was thatC．
A．he found that adults have to carry around so many plastic cards
B．he realized it's big waste to make so many plastic cards instead of only one
C．he found even a hotel issued its own cards--keycards
D．he realized it would be a good chance to make big money
69．The advantage of"Security One Card"is that itC．
A．could remove the burden of taking all kinds of plastics cards
B．would he very safe
C．could save your money
D．could have a lot of magnetic strips on it
70．The underlined phrase"takes off"in the last but one paragraph probably meansB．
A．makes money         B．wins a lot of support
C．is worth a lot      D．is practical
71．From the story，we can see Scott isC．
A．more magic than smart             B．clever but lazy
C．creative，determined and wise     D．far-sighted．

1．Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways．When people cheat，it's not fair to other people，like the kids who studied for the test or who the true winners of a game were．
Many people like the action of cheating．It makes difficult things seem easy．Like getting all the right answers on the test．But it doesn't solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won't help on the next test---unless the person cheats again．
Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them．The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade．And，if they get caught cheating，they will be in trouble at school，and may be at home，too．
Some kids cheat because they are busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying．Other kids might feel like they can't pass the test without cheating，even when there seems to be a"good reason"for cheating．
If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn't study，it would be better to talk with the teacher about this．And if you don't have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice，you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school．
A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together．Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating．

31．The author thinks that when kids cheat in classA．
A．it is unfair to other people
B．it does harm to their health
C．teachers should punish them

A．the material in the test is very difficult
B．they want to do better than the others
C．cheating can make hard things seem very easy
D．they have little time to study their lessons
33．The fourth paragraph mainly tells usB．
A．cheating isn't a good idea
B．why kids cheat in the test
C．some kids can't pass the test without cheating
D．some kids don't spent the time studying
34．We can learn from the passageB．
A．cheaters are often thought highly of
B．people show no respect for those who cheat
C．parents whose kids cheat are often in trouble
D．kids cheat in the test because of swim practice
35．In the passage those cheaters are advised toB．
A．spend more time on school than on sports
B．find good solutions instead of cheating
C．try hard to be intelligent rather than lazy
D．a(chǎn)sk their classmates for good methods of study．

8．From now on，never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings．Instead，realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born．Only you have the power to make those seeds grow．
The seeds，and the power to grow them，are contained in the best machine ever created：the human mind．Success is a choice and not a chance．You were born a winner．You can be a success if only you make the right choice．
You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem（自尊）．Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to have over yourself，and thus over your life．People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power，or responsibility for their lives．They are leaves tossed（搖擺） by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather．
You can control your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life．Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance．Successful people realize that they are responsible．
Everything happens as a result of something．If we can identify the cause，we can control the effect．We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe．One generally rises to the level that one expects．We are responsible for setting our expectations．Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence．
In short，in all areas of your life，whether they are financial，physical，emotional，or spiritual，you are responsible．Once you recognize this，accept it，and firmly believe it，you are on the road to success．
68．People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because theyD．
A．a(chǎn)re easily affected by windy weather             
B．a(chǎn)re ready to change their minds
C．don't have the power to face their fate            
D．can't control themselves
69．Losers would think thatA．
A．their failure is only because of bad luck           
B．they don't make efforts to succeed
C．working hard will lead to success             
D．success is the result of hard work
70．It can be inferred from paragraph 5 thatB．
A．success is a chance
B．We are what we make us
C．thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mind
D．developing confidence is the only way to future success
71．The last paragraph serves asC．
A．the proof of the author's points                    
B．a(chǎn)n introduction to another topic  
C．the conclusion of the argument

5．What makes one person more intelligent than another？What makes one person a genius，like the brilliant Albert Einstein，and another person a fool？Are people born intelligent or stupid，or is intelligence the result of where and how you live？These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear．
We know，however，that just being born with a good mind is not enough．In some ways，the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle．It needs exercise．Mental （done with the mind） exercise is particularly important for young children．Many child psychologists （心理學(xué)家） think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about．The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent．If，on the other hand，children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do，they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent．
Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children．According to some psychologists，if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot，then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things．So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children，such as"That was a very clever thing you did"or"You are such a smart child"．
36．The words"intelligent"and"brilliant"in the first paragraph probably meanAwhile"dull"in the second paragraph meansA．
A．bright and splendid； slow in thinking and understanding  
B．pretty and handsome； ordinary-looking
C．great and important； common                       
D．hopeful and helpful； careless　
37．According to the context we can guess that a genius isCwhile an idiot isC
A．a(chǎn) normal person； a funny person                         
B．a(chǎn) strong person； a weak person
C．a(chǎn) highly intelligent person； a foolish or weak-minded person  
D．a(chǎn) famous person； an ordinary person　
38．A personDis more likely to become a genius．
A．whose parents are clever                
B．often thinking about difficult problems
C．often helped by his parents and teachers    
D．born with a good brain and putting it into active use　
39．It is better for parentsA．
A．to praise and encourage their children more often
B．to be hard on their children
C．to leave their children alone with nothing to do
D．to give their children as much help as possible　
40．Which of the following is NOT true according to the article？C
A．Parents play an important part in their children's growth．
B．The less you use your mind the duller you may become．
C．Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live．
D．What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion．
