阅读理解。     I"m sure I"m not the only person (my age 15) who hates going to the dentist. Channel 4"s late-night
documentary (纪录片) Open wide last Tuesday was excellent for people like me. However, none of my
school friends watched it because they didn"t know it was on. Why can"t television companies let us know
about such important programmes in advance?
     This pragrammes was important because it showed how methods for helping people with toothache
have developed over the centuries. If you think visiting the dentist today is an uncomfortable experience,
just be grateful you didn"t live 200 years ago! Then, the programmes told us, the only cure for toothache
was removing the tooth. There weren"t any dentists, so the person who cut your hair also pulled out your
bad teeth, and there was nothing to stop you feeling the pain.
     The programme has also completely changed my attitude to looking after my teeth. My parents were
always saying to me things like, "Don"t eat too many sweets." And, "Brush your teeth after meals." But I
never paid much attention. Now I"ve seen what damage sugar can do, especially if I don"t use a toothbrush
regularly. I"m going to change my habits. Many people would benefit from a repeat of this programme.

     Except for the Indians, the earliest backpackers in America were frontiersmen (边疆居民), who walked in
the wilderness looking either for necessities such as food and water or for sources of wealth such as fur and
gold. For them backpacking was a way of survival or a means of achieving what one day would be called the
"American dream". Today, however, many people enjoy backpacking as a recreational activity. Shouldering a
pack and leaving behind the world of telephone, television and traffic promise an exciting experience. Testing
one"s stamina (耐力) and skills and challenging a sense of one"s place in the natural world can be rewarding.
Moreover, backpacking is an activity that can last any length for time and can be enjoyed alone or with friends.
Then too, a backpacking trip may be organized within a day or two. The backpacker and his friends have only
to decide on their destination and then organize the all-important kit (工具包), whose contents they must depend
on throughout their trip. A map, a compass, a flashlight, along with first-aid equipment, food, and extra clothing
can be rounded up without much difficulty. Once the backpackers have left word about where they go in a note
on the refrigerator door or in a message on an answering machine, they can look forward to an adventure that
will lift the spirit and encourage the soul. Their outing will enable them to return in a short time to the age of
technology with the courage and independence of Natty Bumppo, who did indeed belong to the age of the
frontier.

请先通读下列短文,然后从所给的七个选项中选出能填入空格的最佳选项。
     1_____ One of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club. It"s great fun especially if you
are the sort of person who feels there"s never anything to do during the school holidays.   
     The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club. What are you interested in? Pets, clothes,
pop music or dancing groups, sports, or making things? 2_____

who are interested in the same thing as you.

you can think up. That"ll keep you busy for ages.

brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret!   
     Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again
you will spend a lot of time making them. Use a bright thick pen to make a special design. Why not leave some
space for a photo of yourself? 5_____

     It is not unusual at all for teens to answer their parents with one-word answers. "Where are you going?"
"Places." "When will you be back?" "Sometime." "Who will you be with?" "People."
     That means that the days of your children bounding in the front door with the details of their day are over.
They are breaking away from you so that they"ll be able to stand on their own as a young adult.
     Some parents feel sad about this loss of their children"s closeness. Of course you miss those conversations
and friendly talks. Once your children move out after high school and establish themselves confidently as a
young adult, they"ll come back for easy conversations and even ask for advice. But in order to determine who
they are right now they need to separate from you.
     Your job, however, is to keep them safe-and that requires knowing where they are and who they are with.
Let them know clearly that it"s not because you want to dominate their life and control them; it"s because it"s
a safety issue for family members to keep track of one another.
     When they"re home and sit down to eat a meal, sit down with them. You need to open up to them about
your life. Tell them of an interesting incident at the office, let them in on a bit of family gossip (闲谈), discuss
a piece of news with them. They are glad that you see them as old enough to be in on a few experiences of
your life. By letting a teen in on your life, they just may let you in of theirs.

     Parents should stop blaming themselves because there"s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager
problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and
helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.
     I"ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right
from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman.
I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself (懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no
attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick
glance at me. His mother was ashamed. "I don"t know what to do with him these days," she said.
     "He"s forgotten all the manners we taught him." He hasn"t forgotten them. He"s just decided that he"s not
going to use them. She confessed (坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from
the sofa onto the floor.
     Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare
at me and say, "I don"t like your dress; it"s ugly." One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school.
The other has left home.
     "Where did we go wrong?" their parents are now very sad. Probably no one is to blame on this issue.
1. This text is most probably written by _____.
[     ]

[     ]
A. the change from good to bad that"s seen in a child
B. the way that parents often blame themselves
C. the opinion that a child has of his parents
D. the advice that parents want their children to follow
3. From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters _____.
[     ]
A. pay no attention to them
B. are too busy to look after them
C. have come to hate them
D. feel helpless to do much about them
4. What is the writer"s opinion about the sudden change in teenage children?
[     ]
A. Parents have no choice but to try to accept it.
B. Parents should pay still more attention to the change.
C. Parents should work more closely with school teachers.
D. Parents are at fault for the change in their children.
