A close friend of mine lives with six hundred wild animals on the Greek Island of Kyklos.Ever since he left school (where I first knew him)，he has travelled all over the world collecting animals for his very own zoo.He hoped to collect at least two examples of every sort of animal on his island before the Great Flood. But the flood that my friend was afraid of was a flood not of water, but of people. I expect you have heard of my friend: he writes books about his travels，and about the wild and wonderful animals that he collects. The money from the books helps to pay for all the food that these animals eat.

My friend told me that when he was out looking for water last week，(there is not enough water on the island，though there is plenty all round it，)he found oil.He needs money for his travels，and for his zoo，and a little oil would buy enough water for a lifetime；but he knows that if he tells anybody else about it，it will be the end of his zoo, and his life's work.

So，if I know my friend，he will not tell anybody (but you and me)about what he found—because oil and water do not mix.

1.My friend lives________.

A．on an island in the middle of great flood

B．a(chǎn)t the school that we used to go to on Kyklos

C．on a Greek island with six hundred animals

D．a(chǎn)ll over the world；he is always travelling

2.Since he left school________.

A．he has collected books about every sort of animal

B．he has lived in zoos all over the world

C．he has lived all the time on a Greek island

D．he has travelled all over the world collecting animals

3.The flood，of which my friend was afraid, was ________.

A．a(chǎn) flood of too many people

B．a(chǎn) great flood of water

C．a(chǎn) flood of too many animals on his island

D．a(chǎn) flood of oil

Earlier this year，my oldest daughter got braces (牙箍) on her teeth，and let's just say she did not go quietly into that dentist's chair. Fear and hate pretty much describe the days leading up to her first appointment.

So when she finally walked out with shiny teeth，a sore mouth and a broken spirit, I told her I was proud of her and took her to Ben & Jerry's for an ice cream reward. Two weeks later, we returned to the scene of the crime.The dentist spent about 45 seconds checking her teeth before sending her on her merry way. Before I could start the car, she was placing her ice cream order. She was shocked when I told her that she wasn't going to get a reward every time we got her teeth checked.

Apparently，she's not alone. According to some parenting experts, kids are easily addicted(上癮的)to a benefit?producing system of parental rewards and bribes(賄賂)—not all ice creams, candies and cool toys.Some parents are offering their children novel prizes just to let them sit down and behave in a restaurant—or sleep in their own beds—or score a goal in the next soccer game.

While the experts agree that occasional awards are okay，the danger lies in the system's overuse.Kids quickly gain a sense of entitlement(應(yīng)得權(quán)益)，where they come to expect a big reward for every good thing that they do, no matter how small.To keep things in check，experts say parents should reduce the number of rewards they offer, make sure rewards match the behavior and explain the real benefits of behaving.

1.The intended readers of the passage are________.

A．children B．parents

C．doctors D．teachers

2.Misguided by the parental reward system，children easily believe________.

A．they should benefit from their every desired behavior

B．they can be successful as long as they work hard

C．their parents will give them more presents in the future

D．their parents will feel happy when they behave well

3.In the experts' opinion，parents________.

A．should provide their children with many luxurious things

B．shouldn't give their children too many rewards

C．should give their children more spiritual rewards

D．should tell their children the benefits of rewards

4.What would be the BEST title for the passage?

A．Do Parents Know How to Help Their Children Behave?

B．Is Your Child Afraid to Visit A Dentist?

C．Are Parents Rewarding Their Children Too Much?

D．Does Your Child Show Interest in Rewards?
