Children, especially boys, tend to idealise their fathers when they are young.Every little boy wants to grow up to be just like his father, and every little girl thinks her father is the smartest man on the earth. It’s not very easy to be a good father, but it’s not that difficult either. Children will truly enjoy spending time with their fathers, not just when they are kids, but even when they are adults.

Not all children communicate well with their fathers. Communication is often left to mothers, while fathers dispense advice as and when necessary. Don’t expect all conversations to centre around the dinner table. Go to your children’s bedrooms and talk to them about school, their teachers or their friends. Remember that the conversation cannot be one-sided. When your children open up to you, you also need to open up to them.

If your children come home from school feeling upset, go up to them and ask them what is the matter. And if it is something which seems to you to be a silly reason to be upset, don’t voice your opinion. It may be silly to you, but to your children it is important enough. So don’t wave the topic away by telling them not to bother about such stupid things. Simply discussing their problems with them will help them feel better.

Don’t shy away from having discussions about your teenage children’s love lives. Generally speaking, your children are definitely not going to discuss intimate details with you. Try to let them know that you are relaxed about topics on love. Tell your children how you met your wife. It is perfectly normal for children to go through feelings for the opposite sex as they grow up, and by keeping the topic closed for discussion, you are only shutting them off from discussing their feelings with you. All they will do is turn to their friends.

1.To children their fathers are usually very ______.

A. important     B.great           C. serious      D. strong

2.From the second paragraph we can know that ______.

A. some children don’t like their fathers at all

B. talking with children around the dinner table is bad

C. it is better for mothers to communicate with their children

D. mothers usually communicate better with their children.

3. Suppose your children are worried about something you should _____.

A. have a talk with them            B.express your option

C. keep silent                     D. let them alone

4.Your children would not like to discuss their love lives with you probably

   because they think__________.

A. you are relaxed about topics on love

B. they should ask for help from their friends

C. they have already grown up

According to a famous optical(光學) expert, Alexander, who recently visited Shanghai, the developed countries in Europe and America have made rules that children must wear resinous(樹脂) glasses instead of the traditional glasses made of glass. This is because the glass glasses are more likely to do harm to children’s eyesight.

Alexander pointed out: wearing the right glasses as soon as possible is still the best way to cure and put right children’s eyesight problems.

In America and Japan the resinous glasses have taken up 80 percent of the glasses market. And some European countries and America have made it a law that children, teenagers and drivers must wear resinous glasses. Now, about 10 million children in China have different eyesight problems and they need timely treatment.

But still, too many parents are buying the traditional glass glasses for their children. This is mainly because many parents know little or nothing about the good points of the resinous glasses. Besides, the price for the new glasses is a little higher than the traditional ones.

1. This news article mainly wants to tell us _______.

    A. Alexander visited China and introduced a new type of glasses

    C. resinous glasses are popular in Europe and America

    D. glasses can be made of other materials instead of glass

2. According to Alexander, the “timely treatment” to eyesight problems is _______.

    B. to buy a pair of glasses and wear them right away

    C. to wear suitable resinous glasses at the right time

    D. to buy glasses made in Europe, Japan or America if possible

Among various programs, TV talk shows have covered every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style. But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and Oprah Winfrey shows.

Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of "rubbish talk". The topics on his show are as surprising as can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people's lives.

Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes the TV talk show to its top. But Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.

Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society. Jerry ends every show with a "final word". He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.

Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show's main audience are middle-class Americans. Most of the people have the time, money and ability to deal with life's tough problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society. These are 18-to 21year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drug. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show's exploitation.

Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows are ______.

A. more interesting              B. unusually poplar       C. more detailed           D. more formal

Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear unpleasant, people who

watch the shows ______.

 A. show disbelief in them                                       B. are ready to face up to them

 C. remain cold to them                                    D. are willing to get away from them

Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?

A. A new type of robot.                                    B. National hatred.

 C. Family income planning.                             D. Street accident.

Sandra Cisneros was born in Chicago in 1954 to a Mexican American family. As the only girl in a family of seven children, she often felt like she had “seven fathers,” because her six brothers, as well as her father, tried to control her. Feeling shy and unimportant, she retreated(躲避) into books. Despite her love of reading, she did not do well in elementary school because she was too shy to participate.

In high school, with the encouragement of one particular teacher, Cisneros improved her grades and worked for the school literary magazine. Her father encouraged her to go to college because her thought it would be a good way for her to find a husband. Cisneros did attend college, but instead of searching for a husband, she found a teacher who helped her join the famous graduate writing program at the University of Iowa. At the university’s Writers’ Workshop, however, she felt lonely----a Mexican American from a poor neighborhood among students from wealthy families. The feeling of being so different helped Cisneros find her “Creative voice.”

“It was not until this moment when I considered myself truly different that my writing acquired a voice. I knew I was a Mexican woman, but I didn’t think it had anything to do with why I felt so much imbalance in my life, but it had everything to do with it! That’s when I decided I would write about something my classmates couldn’t write about.”

Cisneros published her first work, The House on Mango Street, when she was twenty-nine. The book tells about a young Mexican American girl growing up in a Spanish-speaking area in Chicago, much like the neighborhoods in which Cisneros lived as a child. The book won an award in 1985 and has been used in classes from high school through graduate school level. Since then, Cisneros has published several books of poetry, a children’s book, and a short-story collection.

Which of the following is TRUE about Cisneros in her childhood?

A. She had seven brothers.     B. She felt herself a nobody.

C. She was too shy to go to school.

D. She did not have any good teachers.

The graduate program gave Cisneros a chance to _____.

   A. work for a school magazine        B. run away from her family

   C. make a lot of friends              D. develop her writing style

According to Cisneros, what played the decisive role in her success?

   A. Her early years in college.           B. Her training in the Workshop.

   C. Her feeling of being different.        D. Her childhood experience.

What do we learn about The House on Mango Street?

   A. It is quite popular among students.

   B. It is the only book ever written by Cisneros.

   C. It wasn’t success as it was written in Spanish.

   D. It won an award when Cisneros was twenty-nine.
