21、 We’re not sure where letting children drink wine fits into permissive, authoritarian and authoritative parenting styles, but a research team from the University of New South Wales are trying to find it out.
During their study, researchers discovered that kids who were given alcohol by their parents were more likely to be consuming whole drinks by the time they were 15 or 16, but were far less likely to binge-drink(酗酒).
The researchers analyzed nearly 2,000 Year 7 students and their parents over a four-year period. They measured the teenagers’ consumption of whole drinks, their binge drinking—consuming four or more drinks at a time, as well as who supplied them with the alcohol: their parents, friends, or other adults. The study found that when children were given alcohol from their parents, they were least likely to binge-drink.
But what about the long-reported damage that alcohol can have on developing teenage brains? Lead author of this study, Professor Richard Mattick, says that giving children alcohol at an earlier age could serve as a preventative measure of kids developing alcohol-related problems later in life. “There’s a body of research indicating the adolescent brain is still developing well into the early 20s and alcohol may prevent the best development,” says Professor Mattick. “But also we know parents want to do the right thing for their children and there has been anecdotal evidence that children introduced to alcohol by their parents, as is common in some European cultures, may be less likely to develop problems with alcohol.”
However, there’s one result from the study Professor Mattick can’t ignore: that being given alcohol at an early age by the parents doubled (使加倍) children’s possibility of drinking than their peers (同龄人). “There may be later harms that are not yet obvious, and we’re aware that an early start of drinking is strongly associated with later alcohol use problems in adulthood—putting it off is the best strategy.”
【1】According to the researchers, kids supplied with alcohol by their parents will be______.
A.more likely to quit drinking in adulthood
B.less likely to grow into teenage binge-drinkers
C.more likely to grow into binge-drinkers
D.less likely to have whole drinks as teenagers
【2】Who affected kids’ drinking behaviors the most in the study?
A.Their parents B.Their friends
C.School authorities D.Strangers
【3】Which statement will Professor Mattick agree with?
A.The brain stops developing before the age of 20.
B.Alcohol won’t damage the developing teenage brains.
C.Giving kids alcohol at an earlier age may have its benefit.
D.European kids tend to develop problems with alcohol.
【4】On Professor Mattick’s advice, parents had better________.
A.let kids drink alcohol at an early age
B.make kids start drinking alcohol late
C.forbid kids to drink alcohol at any age
D.permit kids to drink alcohol at will
22、 A year ago, paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher emphasized the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.
One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished. Gently shaking his head and shrugging his shoulders (耸肩), he said, “You don't say!”
“You don't say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate topic. “Well, I'd better change the topic.” So I said to him, “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was great and beautiful.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide.
“The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted again by his words “You don't say!” I couldn't help asking, “Why do you ask me no to talk about it?” “Well, I didn't request you to do so.” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didn't you say 'You don't say'?” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “In English 'You don't say' actually means 'Really?'. It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don't pay attention to English idioms.” Only then did I know I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions.
Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students.

24、At the start of every working week, millions of people around the world get ready for something they do endlessly, joylessly and badly: a meeting.
The root of the rotten meeting is simple, says Madeleine de Hauke, a meeting coach and teacher in an Antwerp Management School. “We spend our lives and huge sums of money in meetings, but there’s very little investment (投入) into helping people run them effectively.”
Madeleine is correct. Running a meeting well takes skill. People need to know ahead why they are meeting, what they are supposed to achieve, who really needs to be there and how they should contribute. That sounds obvious but it is not, as anyone who has been to a pointless meeting knows. Yet meeting leaders are expected to learn all this on the job. I cannot remember ever being taught how to organize a meeting, and I have rarely had a job requiring me to do it.
I also like Madeleine’s descriptions of what she calls the Meeting Monsters: people who destroy meetings with all sorts of annoying behaviors. There is the cruel off-topic speaker. The non-stop noise in the background. The confusing rambler (夸夸其谈者). The rude multi-tasker. The mute who says nothing but emails later to say what was decided will never work.
The trouble is, we are all meeting monsters sometimes, says Madeleine. A good meeting leader knows how to stop this behavior, or make sure it never starts by making it clear what will and won’t be allowed.
A bad meeting is like a virus. By failing to produce good decisions it often requires another meeting to be held, then another and another. Luckily there is no need for a vaccine, just a bit more care and preparation, and an understanding that there is no shame in being taught how to lead a meeting well.
【1】How does the author introduce the topic?
A．By showing specific numbers.
B．By telling his own experience.
C．By mentioning an expert’s words.
D．By describing a common activity.
【2】What causes bad meetings according to Madeleine?
A．Boring meeting activities.
B．Untrained meeting leaders.
C．Incompetent meeting coaches.
D．Unreasonable meeting schedules.
【3】Which is a typical behavior of a “Meeting Monster”?
A．Always raising questions.
B．Scaring meeting attenders.
C．Never stopping his chatter.
D．Refusing to finish his tasks.
【4】Why does the author say “a bad meeting is like a virus”?
A．It makes the attenders sick.
B．It results in more meetings.
C．It fails to produce decisions.
D．It requires care and preparation.
【5】Which can be the best title for the text?
A．Kill the Meeting Monsters
B．Get Ready for Bad Meetings
C．Start the Week with A Meeting
D．Invest More for Meeting Attenders
