阅读理解。    Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers (青少年). But last summer,
Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their elder son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends
than to his parents. "The door to his room is always shut." Joanns noted.
    Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. "She used to cuddle up (蜷伏) with
me on the sofa and talk," said Mark. "Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something,
Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring
out which time is which." 　
    Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what"s on their minds. "In fact, parents are first on the list."
said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. "This completely changes during
the teen years." Riera explained. "They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents
last."
    Parents who know what"s going on in their teenagers" lives are in the best position to help them. To break
down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try
to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need
freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with
their children is a better way to know them. 1. "The door to his room is always shut" suggests that the son _____. [     ]
A. is always busy with his studies 　　
B. doesn"t want to be disturbed (打扰) 　　
C. keeps himself away from his parents 　　
D. begins to dislike his parents 2. What troubles Tina and Mark most is that _____. [     ]
A. their daughter isn"t as lovely as before 　　
B. they can"t read their daughter"s mind exactly (确切地) 　　
C. they don"t know what to say to their daughter 　　
D. their daughter talks with them only when she needs help 3. Which of the following best explains "the wall of silence" in the last paragraph? [     ]
A. Teenagers talk a lot with their friends. 　　
B. Teenagers do not want to understand their parents. 　　
C. Teenagers do not talk much with their parents. 　　
D. Teenagers talk little about their own lives. 4. What can be learned from the passage? [     ]
A. Parents are unhappy with their growing children. 　　
B. Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers. 　　
C. Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers. 　　
D. Parents should try to understand their teenagers.

Sure, a teenager who works part-time may be learning something about responsibility, teamwork and money management. But research has shown that when teens work for 20 hours or more a week, as nearly half of US 12th graders do during the school year, the job isn"t just good practice for the future. Overworked teens give up some sleep and exercise, spend less time with their families, and cut back on their homework. That is not even the worst of it. A 2008 report by the National Research Council and the Institute of Medicine showed that students who worked 20 hours a week had lower grades, higher dropout rates (退学率), and were less likely to go to college. Most of these hardworking teens get jobs in the service industry, with more than half employed in restaurants and stores. A quarter of them are employed in the health-care industry, while 8% work in agriculture. Soon, teens may not be the ones deciding how many hours a week they want to spend on part-time jobs. A labor agency has asked Congress (国会) to give the US Department of Labor instructions to limit the number of hours youngsters under age 18 work during the school year, and Congress has agreed to. If you"d like tips on employment guidelines and teen employment, send away for the Parents Primer: When Your Teen Works. Mail $1 and your written request to the National Consumers League, 1701 K Street, NW, Suite 1200, Washington, DC 20006.

Child labor-the employment of children in industry, often against their will - has been a problem for many years. Over a hundred years ago, Charles Dickens shocked many of his readers when he described the conditions under which young children worked in British factories. The conditions Dickens described continue almost unchanged today in many parts of the world. The only difference is that today employment of children is confined (limited) to small industries and family businesses, such as hotels, restaurants and particularly farms, rather than to large factories. Girls suffer more from child labor practices than boys. Many of them are forced to start work when they are only ten years old. Although the work they are given to do is often light, it is often harmful to the health. Recently, children as young as six years were found to be working in Asian factories, and the children were working from eight to fourteen hours a day in overcrowded and unhealthy working conditions. Sometimes a whole family group is employed, with the payment going to a parent or older relative. The children not only receive nothing or very little for their long hours of work, but also they are prevented from attending school. Therefore, when they become older they are unable to do any other kind of work. The solution to the problem of child labor is clearly better laws to protect young children, greater supervision (监督) of industry and heavier fines for those who break the laws. Only in this way can young boys and girls be allowed to enjoy the most valuable time of their lives-childhood.
1. Which"s the main idea of the first paragraph?
[ ]
A. Children are often willing to work in large factories. B. Most children are working in British factories. C. The poor working conditions of child labor in Dickens" novel. D. The working conditions for children are similar to those a hundred years ago.

[ ]
A. not harmful to the health though it is heavy B. not harmful to the health because it is light C. harmful to the health though it is light D. harmful to the health because it is heavy
3. Young children go to work _____.
[ ]
A. because they are forced to B. in order to be skillful in a certain kind of work C. in order to be paid well D. in order to earn money for education
4. To solve the problem of child labor, the writer suggests the following BUT _____.
[ ]
A. looking over factories more closely B. raising their payment and improving the system of education C. improving laws of protecting children"s interests D. punishing lawbreakers with severer fines

I received pictures of my daughter floating (漂浮) on a lake in California. Right there under the sun during the hottest time of the day, she has only her swimsuit to cover her. When I showed it to my students, it was as if I had shown them scenes from a horror (恐怖) movie. "But she will get dark," they said. "That"s what she wants," I told them. "We think darker skin (肤色) is beautiful." They looked at me in disbelief. It was as if I came from the moon. For years, American girls spend their summer trying to get as tanned (晒黑) as possible. In China, on the other hand, girls use umbrellas all year round. What in the world is going on? The pale skin we think looks unattractive (不漂亮) is what Asian women want. Both groups want to meet their culture"s standard (标准) of beauty. In the US, if you can afford to go on vacation in the summer, you head for a river, a lake or a beach, where you try to get as much sun as possible. If you are rich you take a winter vacation in some sunny spot. Your winter tan shows your wealth. In China, once upon a time, the few wealthy were the ones who didn"t have to work out in the hot sun. So the whiter the skin, the richer the woman. The folk opera performers who play these ladies wore lots of white makeup (妆容). The tradition survives to this day. So it comes naturally that none of my students wishes to follow the Western ways in this regard. But now I am noticing that a new business-the tanning booth (美黑店)-started up in China. I admire those brave enough to define (给…下定义) their own idea of beauty, but I do wonder what their grandmothers would have to say to them about it!
1. The students were shocked at the picture the writer showed them because _____.
[ ]
A. they thought it shameful for a girl only to wear a swimsuit B. the writer"s daughter was wearing very little while out in the sun C. it is dangerous for a girl to be out on a lake alone D. with the powerful sunlight the writer"s daughter would have got a suntan
2. According to the article, which kind of woman meets the American standard of beauty?
[ ]
A. Women with blond hair. B. Women with a slim figure. C. Women with tanned skin. D. Women with pale skin.
3. In the US a winter tan usually means the person _____.
[ ]
A. is hard-working B. doesn"t have to work C. has a lot of money and spare time D. is from a very poor family
4. The writer _____ the tanning booth started up in China.
[ ]
A. is not interested in B. doesn"t understand C. doesn"t like D. has mixed feelings about

Surveys of American teenagers find that about half of them do not get enough sleep on school nights. They get an average of 60 to 90 minutes less than experts say they need. One reason for this lack of sleep is biology. Experts say teens are biologically programmed to go to sleep later and wake up later than other age groups. Yet many schools start classes as early as seven in the morning. As a result, many students go to class feeling like sixteen-year-old Danny. He plays two sports, lacrosse and football. He is an active teen-except in the morning. DANNY:"Getting up in the morning is pretty terrible. I"m just very out of it and tired. And then going to school I"m out of it, and through first and second period I can barely stay awake. "Michael Breus is a clinical psychologist with a specialty in sleep problems. Teens, he says, now commonly sleep for only 6.5 hours to 7 hours. He says sleepy teens can experience a form of depression (压抑) that could have big effects on their general well-being. It can affect not just their ability in the classroom but also on the sports field and on the road. So what can schools do about sleepy students? The psychologist says one thing they can do is start classes later in the morning. Eric Peterson is the head of St. George"s School in the northeastern state of Rhode Island. He wanted to see if a thirty-minute delay would make a difference. It did. He says visits to the health center by tired students decreased by half. Late arrivals to first period fell by a third. And students reported that they were less sleepy during the day. Eric Peterson knows that changing start times is easier at a small, private boarding school like his. But he is hopeful that other schools will find a way. Patricia Moss, an assistant dean at St. George"s School, says students were not the only ones reporting better results. PATRICIA MOSS:"I can say that generally all the teachers noticed immediately that kids were happier to be there at eight-thirty than they were at eight."
1. According to experts like Michael Breus, how many hours of sleep should teens get every day?
[ ]
A. 6.5 hours to 7 hours B. at least 7.5 hours C. More than 9 hours D. Less than 7 hours
2. According to some experts, why do teens wake up later than adults?
A. Because they are lazier. B. Because they need more sleep. C. Because they are biologically programmed to sleep late and wake up late. D. Because they play sports.
3. The article mentions the story of sixteen-year-old Danny to _____.
A. show how he hates getting up in the morning. B. show how teens can be affected by a lack of sleep. C. show how he turns from an active boy to a tired school child. D. show how teens hate school.
4. What does Eric Peterson do about the problem of sleepy students?
A. He visits the health center. B. He punishes late students. C. He punishes sleepy students. D. He starts his school time 30 minutes later.
5. Which of the followings is not true according to the article?
A. Later school time leads to fewer late arrivals. B. Er ic Peterson’s experiment h as answered his question. C. The writer of this article seems to support later school time. D. Teachers of St. George’s School don’t seem to support later school time.
