题型:不详难度:来源:
One in five American families will move every year. Moving is one of the most stress-producing events a family has to go through. Experts say it can be harder for children. How do you help your child adjust to the changes?
The Ricardos moved from their old house to a new home. Same family, same dog-but it was harder for 9-year-old Elena. She hated the room, the house and everything. She hated leaving her friends the most.
“ I was so emotional. I mean, saying goodbye to all my friends…..my very close friends, who was my neighbor, made me so sad,” says Elena.
For some children, the emotional stress of moving is not much more different from the emotions when someone has died.
“There’s that sense that, ‘I’ve lost my friends, my friends, my base, my school, my teachers-everything I knew that made me feel safe is all gone now. I have to start over,” says Dr. Tim Jordan.
Starting over is exactly Dr. Tim Jordan’s advice. Make new friends, enter the new school and enter the new neighborhood. And here are some other pieces of advice.
● Explain clearly to the children why the move is necessary.
● Familiarize(使熟悉) the children as much as possible with the new area with maps, photographs or the daily newspaper.
● After the move, got the children to join in activities in the place.
● Help the children keep in touch with friends from the neighborhood before through telephone, letters, e-mail, and personal visits.
小题1:
Which of the following is useful to reduce the children’s stress before the move?
A.Let doctors give children some advice.
B.Try letting children accept the fact of moving.

小题2:
What can we know from the passage?
A.Most American children can get used to the changes in moving.
B.Dr. Tim Jordan lost his family, friends, teachers after moving.
C.The emotional stress of moving is the same in some way as that of knowing someone’s death.
D.the Ricardos lost their dogs after moving to their new house.

People often talk as if shyness is a disease or mental condition that can be cured. I prefer to think of it as an emotional disability. It’s something we are born with and something we carry with us in our entire lives. There are too many people, however, who seem to be determined to find some way of doing away with their shyness. In my opinion, it’s a waste of time. I don’t mean that we should do nothing about it; quite the contrary, I think we need to separate the basic fact of shyness from our ability to take part in a social environment.
Look at one of the most famous shy people of them all, Johnny Carson. This man is painfully shy, yet for decades he made a living talking and associating with different people every night, in front of a national audience. Carson has never done away with his shyness, but he has successfully found a way to deal with it to the extent that he could be, not just a talk show host, but a legend (传奇) among talk show hosts. Look also at Sally Fields, who has recently admitted her problem with shyness. This is a woman who has appeared in many films, TV shows and interviews, yet in her early years she was so shy that she turned down a lunch invitation from Jane Fonda because she was terribly afraid of meeting her.
I guess that our shyness is there because each of us is born with some insecurity (不安全感) and this insecurity prevents us from reading out to others the way people with a more open personality do. As we grow up and become adults, we allow our social skills to grow and develop. But we are still stuck in kindergarten or elementary school or wherever it was when our shyness took root in our soul.
小题1:. In the author’s view, shyness can be explained as _________.
A.a disease that can be easily cured
B.a not very normal mental condition
C.an emotional disability
D.something we pick up after birth
小题2:. The author believes it’s a waste of time to ____________
A.develop a healthy personality
B.talk with as many people as possible
C.study where shyness comes from
D.look for ways to do away with one’s shyness
小题3:. Which of the following is TRUE of Johnny Carson?
A.He dared to speak in front of a national audience.
B.He did away with his shyness carefully.
C.He was described as a hero in some legend books.
D.He failed to become a good talk show host.
小题4:. The author thinks that our shyness is there because _______
A.we are not open enough
B.we don’t feel safe at heart
C.we try to reach out to others all the time
D.we lack certain social skills

Long long ago, there was an old merchant who had three sons. “To which one shall I leave my fortune?” he wondered. “It must be to the cleverest son. But which one is the cleverest?”
He called his three sons to him. “Here is some money,” he told them, “you must each take one coin to buy something that will fill this room. Anyone who can do this shall have my fortune.”
“It is a big room,” said the eldest son.
“One coin will not buy very much,” said the second son.
But the youngest son said nothing. He stood and thought, and then he smiled, “Come, brothers,” he said, “let us go to the market.”
The eldest son bought straw with his coin. But one coin bought only a bit of straw. Even when he had spread it as much as he could, the straw covered only a corner of the room.
The second son bought sand with his coin. But one coin bought only a bit of sand. Even when he had spread it as much as he could, the sand covered only half of the floor.
“What did you buy?” the eldest son angrily asked the youngest son. “You don"t have any straw.”
“Yes, what did you buy?” the second son asked angrily. “You don"t have any sand.”
“I bought this,” said the youngest son.
“A candle!” cried his brothers. “What good is a candle?”
“Watch”, said the youngest son.
He lit the candle, and all at once the room was filled from wall to wall, from ceiling to floor. It was filled with light!
“Although you are the youngest, you are indeed the cleverest of my sons,” the old merchant said.
And that is how, the old merchant left his fortune to his youngest son, the one who could fill a room with light.
小题1: Who would get father"s fortune?
A.The oldest son.B.The richest son.
C.The cleverest son.D.The silliest son.
小题2: The merchant left his fortune to the son
A.who would fill the room by using something which is worthy of one coin
B.who would take care of him when he became old
C.who wanted to get his fortune
D.who got married first
小题3: How do you think of the youngest son?
A.He is very clever.B.He is very lazy.
C.He is very mean.D.He is very diligent.
小题4:  The youngest son used _____ to fill the room.
