【題目】"Be careful!" shouts mum to her son, as he climbs up to the highest point of the climbing frame. "I'm the king of the castle", he shouts back without a care in the world! There's no real danger—there are soft floor tiles in the playground and equipment has been designed to the highest safety standards.
"How will he learn to deal with danger if you wrap him in cotton wool all the time?" asks granny.
It's a modern problem—in the past, children had to grow up much earlier, and often faced danger at home and at work. In England, children were made to climb chimneys to clean them, work in coal mines, textile mills and many other dangerous places. They walked to school alone, played outside for hours by themselves, and nobody ever worried.
But modern parents see danger in everything, and are often accused of turning their children into "cotton wool kids", they are so overprotected that children never get the chance to explore or learn through play and adventure.
Child psychologists say that modern children are becoming too soft, and that parents must give young people freedom to play. They must learn to solve their own disputes, and see danger for themselves. So, if you think you're in danger of becoming a “cotton wool kid,” ask your parents for a little more independence. When you’ve proved you can be responsible, maybe they'll "unwrap" you for the real world!
【1】What does the underlined phrase “without a care in the world” mean?
A. Not care about the world.
B. Not scared or worried.
C. There is nothing to care about in the world.
D. Be careless.
【2】Which of the following is NOT true about the family in the past according to the passage?
A. Children grew up earlier.
B. Children often faced danger at home and at work.
C. Children walked to school alone.
D. Children played outside for hours by themselves which made their parents worried.
【3】Why are modern parents accused of turning their children into "cotton wool kids"?
A. Because they wrap their children in cotton wool.
B. Because they see danger in everything.
C. Because they overprotect their children.
D. Because they do nothing for their children.
【4】In the child psychologists’ view, which of the following is NOT expected to be done by modern children?
A. Become soft. B. Solve their own disputes.
C. See danger for themselves. D. Be responsible.
【答案】
【1】B
【2】D
【3】C
【4】A
【解析】文章介紹了現(xiàn)代社會父母過度保護孩子,使孩子們沒有機會去探索或學習玩耍和冒險。文章呼吁父母應該給孩子自由玩耍的機會,孩子也要請父母多給一點獨立性。
【1】B詞義推測題。根據(jù)前邊"I'm the king of the castle"(我是城堡之王),可推知孩子沒有任何的擔心和畏懼,B項符合文意,故選B。
【2】D細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段They walked to school alone, played outside for hours by themselves, and nobody ever worried.(他們獨自一人去學校,獨自在外面玩幾個小時,沒人擔心)可知,D項在過去孩子們在外邊玩幾個小時,他們的父母會擔心,是不正確的。故選D。
【3】C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段But modern parents see danger in everything, and are often accused of turning their children into "cotton wool kids", they are so overprotected that children never get the chance to explore or learn through play and adventure.可知,因為現(xiàn)代的父母看到了所有的危險,所以他們過度保護孩子們,并經常被指責把孩子變成了“棉毛孩子”,以至于孩子們沒有機會去探索或學習玩耍和冒險。C項符合文意,故選C。
【4】A推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段Child psychologists say that modern children are becoming too soft, and that parents must give young people freedom to play.可知,兒童心理學家說,現(xiàn)代的孩子變得過于軟弱,父母必須給年輕人自由玩耍的自由。A項符合,故選A。

I went to Mount Tai with one of my friends. Mount Tai is famous as the green mountains. When they arrived at the destination by the bus, we caught sight of many mountains by looking through the mist. Mount Tai was just like sleeping baby at that time. That impressed me most was the sunrise on Mount Tai. Stood on the top of the mountain, I see the sunshine giving out in all directions. The green mountains in the mist and the shocking expression on people’s face made a peaceful picture. The scenery of Mount Tai left a greatly impression on me.

【題目】One of the newest words on the coffee stage is “shade grown coffee”. Shade grown coffee isn’t new. In fact, until only a few years ago, shade grown coffee represented the major coffee beans sold on the world coffee market. The coffee plant is a natural shade lover, growing best in the shade afforded by an overgrowing canopy (樹冠) of rain forest plants. That canopy protects the coffee plant from sunlight that reduces its production and kills it.
Shade grown coffee is, however, more expensive to grow, at least in the short run. Growing coffee in the shade means that coffee growers also have to spend time working on the protectors. It means that less land is left to produce coffee beans. The arrival of technically engineered coffee plants that grow well in the sun represented a major development in coffee industry. Because there was no need to grow shade trees to protect the coffee trees, farmers could use more and more land to grow coffee trees, increasing their productivity and leading to more money for the coffee plantations (種植園) and farmers.
However, it was not a good idea to move away from shade grown coffee. The sheltering canopy provided more than just shade for the coffee trees. Those plants provided shelter for birds and other animals who feed on pests.
They help to fix nitrogen in the soil, and nitrogen is a natural fertilizer which makes plants grow more successfully. The increase in land used to grow sun loving coffee trees also had an unexpected effect on the law of supply and demand. The increased production resulted in a huge amount of coffee beans coming to the market, which brought down prices.
Moreover, most experts agree that shade grown coffee is better in taste than coffee grown in full sun. Plants grown in shade take longer to develop. The slower growing time helps to improve the coffee’s taste. You can buy a can of shade grown coffee to replace your usual sun coffee. One cup of coffee a day---it’s a small price to pay for a better world.
【1】What do we know about shade grown coffee?
A. It has been introduced to the market recently.
B. It was the main coffee beans sold on the market.
C. It is protected by the canopy from pests and animals.
D. It grows well where there is adequate natural sunlight.
【2】Why did farmers move away from shade grown coffee?
A. It had a bitter taste.
B. It left no land for shade trees.
C. It offered less profits.
D. It’s no longer well received.
【3】What is an advantage of sheltering plants?
A. They keep a balanced environment.
B. They bring more money to farmers.
C. They help clear the nitrogen in the soil.
D. They make coffee plants grow quickly.
【4】What does the author suggest?
A. Spending less on coffee. B. Listening to experts’ ideas.
C. Buying shade grown coffee. D. Planting sun loving coffee.

Develop Better Relationships with Neighbors
Good neighbors are a lot like electricity or running water:we don't know how much we depend on them until we don't have them. They make our lives more pleasant and give us a sense of who we wrte, both as an individual and as a member of the community. Here is how to develop your relationships with these very important people in your life.
Often neighbors don't even know each other's names. But it's okay to be the one to break the ice , even if you've lived next door for years.Most neighbors enjoy making small talk with the folks on the other side of the fence. So as you see them at work in their yards, smile, wave, and say hello. Ask how their kids are (whether they're babies or in college), whether they could use an extra cucumber from your garden, or what they think of the price at the local supermarket.
These days, the old Welcome Wagon is a thing of the past. But your new neighbors may be feeling lonely and unsure, especially if they're far from home, and might appreciate a friendly face bearing fresh-baked chocolate cakes. If they have kids, tell them where the children in the neighborhood live. Recommend the best places to eat and sleep. Invite them over for coffee or tea when they get settled, give them your number, and point to your house as you say good-bye.
Return anything that you borrow from a neighbor, such as tools, in good repair and as soon as you've finished with them. Replace anything that belongs to your neighbor that you, your children, or your pets break or soil. Make sure that your car is not blocking their doorway. Such random acts of consideration will have your neighbors talking—and the talk will be good.
If you value a friendship with your neighbors, spend time with them. What better way to meet your neighbors than to invite them to an informal barbecue, pool party, or holiday open house? Better yet, you might even consider throwing a get-together in their honor. Deliver the invitations in person to everyone who lives on your street and chat with each for five minutes before moving on to the next house. This way, you will get an idea of what your neighbors are like so that you can plan for appropriate food and music.
In a good relationship, it's really the little things that count. Help to bring in the mail for the elderly neighbor when there is a heavy rain. When your neighbor gorgets to take in his rubbish cans, roll them back into his yard. If you're truly concerned, you'll know when your neighbor needs some cheering up—a bunch of flowers or a helping hand when it's needed. All it takes to develop your relationship with neighbors is the respect for their feelings.
