11.Parents used to rely on physical punishments to control their children's bad behavior,which has been proven to be very harmful.Therefore,most parents now choose to simply yell,thinking that language probably won't hurt as much.But is that really so?
    Using harsh words such as"lazy"or"stupid"is just as harmful as hitting,according to a new study carried out at the University of Pittsburgh,US."It cannot reduce or correct their problem behavior,"said Professor Ming-Te Wang,leader of the study,in an interview with The Wall Street Journal."On the contrary,it makes it worse."
    In the study,which involved 976 two-parent families,researchers asked the kids about their behavior problems,while asking their parents how often they had yelled at them. Nearly half of the parents admitted that they'd shouted at their children in the past year.Researchers noted that the kids whose parents used more harsh words experienced more behavior problems after-wards,including fighting,stealing,lying as well as symptoms of depression.
"Adolescence is a very sensitive period when kids are trying Lo develop their self-identities(個性).When you yell,it makes them feel they are not capable,and that they are worthless and useless,"Wang said."This may explain why so many parents say that no matter how loud they shout,their teenagers don't listen.          
While harsh yelling can stop bad behavior in the moment,it doesn't teach children to behave how parents want them to,according to Professor Alan Kazdin of Yale University,US.What parents need is to praise their children for good behavior.If parents really need to punish their kids,they should try things like taking away smartphones and reminding them that good behavior will get themback. After all,"we want to teach kids,not hurt them,"said Kazdin.
 
46.How do most parents react to their children's misbehaving now?C
A.Letting them alone.
B.Beating them.
C.Shouting at them.      
D.Praising them.
47.The study finds that using harsh words.A
A.can make things even worse  
B.inspires children to do better
C.corrects children's bad behavior
D.has a better effect than hitting
48.According to Professor Ming-Te Wang,D. 
A.physical punishments are sometimes necessary
B.children are more self-centered in adolescence
C.parents should never punish kids for misbehaving
D.harsh yelling damages children's self-confidence
49.In Professor Alan Kazdin's opinion,parents shouldC      
A.set good examples for their children
B.take away their children's smartphones
C.praise their children for good behavior
D.a(chǎn)lways think in their children's shoes
50.What does the underlined word"them"in the last paragraph refer to?D

16.Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance (pocket money).The purpose is to let children learn from experiences at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.
The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family.Timing is another consideration.Some children get a weekly allowance.Others get a monthly allowance.
     In any case,parents should make clear what,if anything,the child is expected to pay for with the money.At first,young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it.If they do this,they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget (預(yù)算).Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance.The object is to show young people that a budget demands a choice between spending and saving.Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs,like clothing or electronics.
   Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home.These jobs are a normal part of family life.Paying children to do extra work around the house,however,can be useful.It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.
     Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money.They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause.They can spend it by buying things they want.Or they can save it.
     Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice.You have to cut costs and plan for the future.Requiring children to save part of their allowances can also open the door to future saving and investing.Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance.A saving account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest.
     Compounding works by paying interest.So,for example,one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year.The second year,the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents,and so on.That may not seem like a lot,but over time it adds up.
32.Parents give their children allowances in order toC.
A.show off their wealth of family    
B.let them make more money
C.learn the value of money         
D.help children manage family finance
33.What is the second paragraph mainly about?D
A.The time to give allowances
B.The way to spend alloweances.
C.the amount of allowances given to children.
D.Considerations taken to give allowances.
34.Why are parents adivsed to offer yougn children allowances stricktly as planned?A
A.To help children learn to make a budget.
B.To have children save money for larger costs.
C.To let children make fewer mistakes.
D.To give them more allowances next time.
35.What does the author intend to tel lthe readers?C
A.The methods of limiting allowances.
B.The advice on a better family budget.
C.Teaching children to use allowances wisely.
D.Offering allowances to children properly.

20.A patient on the brink of death has received the world's first self-contained artificial heart-a battery-powered device about the size of a softball that runs without the need for wires,tubes sticking out of the chest.It is powered by a small battery pack worn outside the body that transmits current through the skin.
Two surgeons from the University of Louisville implanted(植入)the titanium(鈦)and plastic pump during a seven-hour operation at Jewish Hospital Monday.The hospital said the patient was"awake and responsive''Tuesday and resting comfortably.It refused to eve personal details.
The patient had been expected to die within a month without the operation,and doctors said they expected the artificial heart to extend the person's life by only a month.But the device is considered a major step toward improving the patient's quality of life.
The new pump,called AbioCor,is also a technological leap from the mechanical hearts used in the l980s,which were attached by wires and tubes to large machinery outside the body.The most famous of those,the Jarvic-7,used air as a pumping device and was attached to an apparatus(器械)about the size of a washing machine.
"I think it's potentially a major step forward in the artificial heart development,''said Dr.David Faxon,president of the American heart Association.However,he said the dream of an implantable,permanent artificial heart is not yet a reality:"This is obviously an experimental device whose long-term success has to be demonstrated."Only about half of the 4,200Americans on a waiting list for donor hearts received  themlast year,and most of the rest died.
Some doctors,including Robert Higgins,chairman of cardiology(心臟病學(xué))at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond,said artificial hearts are unlikely to replace donor hearts."A donor heart in a good transplant can last l5to 30years.''he said."It's going be hard to replace that with a machine.''

56.The self-contained artificial heartC.
A.is made of titanium and pump
B.brought the patient to the brink of death
C.gets power from a battery pack without wires
D.was invented by two surgeons from University of Louisville
57.From the text we can knowB.
A.the patient recovered completely
B.the patient got better after the operation
C.the patient refused to obtain a donor heart
D.the patient died a month later after the heart implantation
58.What can we learn about the Jarvic-7?B
A.It is a technological leap today.
B.It could be used most widely in the l980s.
C.It is as advanced as AbioCor.
D.It must be attached to a washing machine.
59.Dr.David Faxon thinks the self-contained heartD.
A.has achieved a long-term success
B.will replace donor hearts
C.is an implantable and permanent artificial heart
D.is still in the experimental stage
60.What does the underlined word"them''in Paragraph 5refer to?A
A.donor hearts           B.a(chǎn)rtificial hearts
C.experimental devices   D.heart operations.
