Sooner or later, many families will face the situation of moving. The experience can be very bad for kids, who may not be a part of the decision to move and may not understand it. You can take steps to make the whole process (過程) easier for everyone.

Many kids like to stay in familiar places. So as you consider a move, weigh the benefits (好處) of that change against the comfort that neighborhood, school, and social life give your kids. If your family has recently dealt with a big life change, such as death, you may want to put off a move to give your children time to accept the fact.

The decision to move may be out of your hands, perhaps because of a new job or money problems. Even if you’re not happy about the move, try to keep a positive (積極的) attitude to it. During the move, a parent’s attitude can greatly influence kids.

No matter what the results are, the most important way to prepare kids to move is to talk about it. Try to give your children as much information about the move as possible. You can ask kids to join in the planning such as house-hunting or the search for a new school. This can make the change feel less like it’s being forced (被迫) on them. If you’re moving across town, try to take your children to visit the new house and the new neighborhood.

A move can have many problems, but good things also come from this kind of change. Your family might grow closer and you may learn more about each other by going through it together.

According to the text, a move can be a bad experience for kids because ________.

A. they may feel they’re forced to do so      B. they often feel lonely in a new school

C. they don’t like their busy parents     D. they are tired of the moving process

In which situation does the author advise to put off a move?

A. The child’s birthday is coming. B. A family member has died.

C. The new neighborhood isn’t safe.     D. The parents have money problems.

Which is the most important when making the move easier for children?

A. Allowing them to choose a school by themselves.

B. Trying not to show them the bad parts of a move.

C. Offering them as much information as possible.

D. Promising to choose a new house with them.

The author wrote this text mainly to tell us ________.

A. what we should do before a move

B. how to prepare children for a move

C. how a move can change the family

D. why parents should talk to children often

科目：高中英語 來源：2012-2013學年四川省成都市高新區(qū)高三2月月考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Do you want to live forever? By the year 2050, you might actually get your wish — if you are willing to leave your biological body and live in silicon circuits （半導體電路）．But long before then, perhaps as early as 2020, some measures will begin offering a semblance of immortality （虛擬的永生）.

Researchers are confident that technology will soon be able to track every waking moment of your life. Whatever you see and hear, all that you say and write, can be recorded, analyzed and added to your personal chronicles （履歷）. By the year 2030, it may be possible to catch your nervous systems through electrical activities, which would also keep your thoughts and emotions.

Researchers at the laboratories of British Telecommunications have given the name of this idea as Soul Catcher. Small electronic equipment will make preparation for Soul Catcher. It would use a wearable supercomputer, perhaps in a wristwatch, with wireless links to micro sensors under your scalp（頭皮） and in the nerves that carry all five sensory signals. So wearing a video camera would no longer be required.

At first, the Soul Catcher's companion system — the Soul Reader — might have trouble copying your thoughts in complete details. Even in 2030, we may still be struggling to understand how the brain is working inside, so reading your thoughts and understanding your emotions might not be possible. But these signals could be kept for the day when they can be transferred to silicon circuits to revitalize minds everlasting entities （永生實體）. Researchers can only wonder what it will be like to wake up one day and find yourself alive inside a machine．

For people who choose not to live in silicon, semblance of immortality would not be as useless as they thought. People would know their lives would not be forgotten, but would be kept a record of the human race forever. And future generations would have a much fuller understanding of the past. History would not be controlled by just the rich and powerful, Hollywood stars, and a few thinkers in the upper society.

1.The main idea of this passage is that _______．

A．human beings long for living forever

B．there are many difficulties in making the Soul Catcher

C．people might live forever as technology develops

D．the invention of Soul Catcher has great importance

2.According to this passage, a Soul Catcher will be ______．

A．a(chǎn) new machine on which research measures have already been made

B．a(chǎn) new invention in order to catch and keep human's thoughts and emotions

C．made by British scientists to offer something that looks like living forever

D．made of silicon circuits which can catch people's nervous activity

3.According to the writer, semblance of immortality is ______．

A．to be a reality sooner or later              B．far from certain

C．just an idea that couldn't t be realized at all    D．a(chǎn) fading hope

4.The meaning of the underlined word "revitalize" in the fourth paragraph is close to        .

A．make dead        B．make famous       C．make known       D．make active
