Low-Cost Gifts for Mother's Day
Gift No. 1
Offer to be your mother's health friend. Promise to be there for any and all doctor's visits whether a disease or a regular medical check-up. Most mothers always say "no need," another set of eyes and ears is always a good idea at a doctor's visit. The best part? This one is free.
Gift No. 2
Help your mother organize all of her medical records, which include the test results and medical information. Put them all in one place. Be sure to make a list of all of her medicines and what times she takes them. "Having all this information in one place could end up saving your mother's life," Dr. Marie Savard said.
Gift No. 3
Enough sleep is connected to general health conditions. "Buy your mother cotton sheets and comfortable pillows to encourage better sleep," Savard said. "We know that good sleep is very important to our health."
Gift No. 4
Some gift companies such as Presents for Purpose allow you to pay it forward this Mother's Day by picking gifts in which 10 percent of the price you pay goes to a charity (慈善機(jī)構(gòu)). Gift givers can choose from a wide variety of useful but inexpensive things — many of which are "green" and then choose a meaningful charity from a list.

小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一則廣告中“Promise to be there for any and all doctor's visits whether a disease or a regular medical check－up”(不管是疾病檢查還是定期的醫(yī)療檢查，你都一定要陪母親看醫(yī)生)可知，B項(xiàng)正確。關(guān)鍵詞定位：文章中的Promise to be there和be with her是同意表達(dá)。故選B。

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

The parents of a troubled teen may feel unsure as to whom to turn to in order to find help for their child. They may feel as if they have exhausted all of their options, and sometimes they are on the verge of giving up. But there is hope. Schools for troubled teens offer discipline and in some cases, drug treatment programs that can provide important life skills, and more importantly, a fresh start.
The following is a list of the most effective types of schools for troubled teens. Not every facility is a match for every child, but by knowing the differences between them, parents can make a better educated decision about where to send their teenager.
Boarding Schools
When a child is unable to deal with the relative freedom of a standard school day, boarding schools might be a good choice. At boarding schools, the child lives in a dorm setting, where almost every minute of the day is scheduled by school administrators.
Treatment Centers
When a teenager has an addiction to drugs or alcohol, a residential center that specializes in young people is an outstanding way to help them break the cycle of addiction. Treatment centers feature individual and group counseling to help identify the root causes of the drug problem and help develop the life skills needed to stay clean when the program is over.
Wilderness Programs 
Designed to help improve the discipline and self-reliance of the child, wilderness programs send kids back to nature. By placing them in a foreign and sometimes uncomfortable setting, wilderness programs hope to improve children’s behavior. Programs generally include hikes, exercise programs and team building exercises.
Boot Camps
Boot camps are the most extreme style of school for troubled teens. These facilities are modeled after actual military boot camps, where the individual must get into shape, work as part of a team, and follow a long, hard set of rules and regulations. However, boot camps might not be the best choice for a teen with a drug addiction.
小題1:Who would be the intended readers of the passage?
A．Teachers.B．Parents.C．Students.D．Experts.
小題2:As the author suggests, schools for troubled teens______.
A．can be a good choice for some desperate parents
B．can completely help and change troubled teens
C．a(chǎn)re becoming popular with teens in trouble
D．care more about discipline than life skills
小題3:According to the passage, boarding schools_____.
A．provide children with more freedom
B．have their students’ time managed carefully
C．pay much attention to team building exercises
D．can make children feel safer
小題4:What’s the purpose of this passage?
A．To introduce schools for troubled teens.
B．To show some problems of troubled teens.
C．To teach parents how to educate their children.
D．To remind parents to care for their children.
