21、Good afternoon. I am Sullivan. Now think about a question: What determines the way we are when we grow up? Let's start with the TV program Seven Up. Do you still remember it? It started following the lives of a group of children in 1973. We first meet them as wide-eyed seven-year-olds and catch up with them at seven-year intervals: nervous 14-year-olds, serious 21-year-olds and then grown-ups.
There are ups and downs in their lives, but interestingly, in almost all the cases the children's early hopes and dreams are shown in their future lives. For example, at seven, Tony is a lively child who says he wants to become a sportsman or taxi driver. When he grows up, he goes on to do both. How about Nicki? She says, "I would like to find out about the moon." And she goes on to become a space scientist. As a child, soft-spoken Bruce says he wants to help "poor children" and ends up teaching in India.
But the program would have been far less interesting if the lives of all the children had followed this pattern. It was the children whose childhood did not prepare them for what was to come that made the program so fascinating. Where did their ideas come from about what they wanted to do when they grew up? Are children influenced by what their parents do, by what they see on television or by what their teachers say? Many film directors, including Steven Spielberg, say that an early visit to the cinema was the turning point in their lives. One of my colleagues, Dr. Margaret, who has devoted herself to researches in this area and published her findings in Science, thinks that the major factors are parents, friends and the wider society.
【1】From paragraph 2, we know that ________.
A.people will make great achievements if they have dreams in their childhood
B.the children's childhood dreams are more or less the same
C.the lives of the children in the TV program are not smooth
D.a large number of poor people in India are in need of help
【2】From Spielberg's story we can conclude that ________.
A.going to a movie at an early age helps a child learn about society
B.a single childhood event may decide what one does as a grown-up
C.parents and friends can help a child grow up properly
D.films have more influence on a child than teachers do
【3】Which one is true according to the passage?
A.The TV program is not so appealing.
B.One of the children, Bruce, ended up teaching in India because he is not strong.
C.The children in the TV program made good preparations for their future in their childhood.
D.In the TV program, the research on the children is done every seventh year.
【4】We can tell that Sullivan may be ________.
A.a professor
B.a radio announcer
C.a librarian
D.a geologist
22、Sometimes having a teenager at home can be a real headache. Many teenagers smoke, drink, wear strange hairdos and even fight. Basically, they are often taking risks.
Earlier studies have shown that teenagers are more likely to make irrational decisions than people from any other age group, including children and adults. Is it that teenagers are too young to tell right from wrong? Not really. So what explains their risky behavior?
According to Laurence Steinberg, a professor at Temple University, US, the reason is that teens care a lot about how their peers (同龄人) view them – that’s the effect of “peer influence”, reported Science Daily.
As children enter their teenage years, they spend more time with their friends and classmates and also become more sensitive to their feedback (反馈). This sensitivity drives teenagers to concentrate on the short-term benefits of making risky choices and overlook the costs.
In a test, a group of teenagers were asked to play a video driving game. When they played with their friends watching, they took more chances and drove more carelessly because that would increase their possibility of winning. But when they played alone, they tended to drive more safely.
Why does pressure from peers have such a big influence on teens’ behavior?
As Steinberg sees it, a teenager’s brain is like a car with a good accelerator (油门) but a weak brake (刹车). The “accelerator”, the brain’s ability to notice the benefits of things, is fully developed by teenage years while the “brake”, the brain part related to controlling impulses (冲动) and long-term thinking, is still immature . When teens are under the pressure of being judged by their peers, they tend to push hard on the accelerator. Given how weak the brake is, it is likely that they are going to end up in a crash.
But the good news here, according to Steinberg, is that a violent teenager doesn’t necessarily become a violent adult. About two-thirds to three-quarters of violent youth grow out of it. “They get more self-controlled,” Steinberg told Live Science.
Also, people who haven’t committed a violent crime by age 19 are less likely to start doing it later, added Steinberg.
【1】The underlined word “irrational” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning
to ______.
A. crazy B. quick C. careful D. independent
【2】Why are teenagers likely to take risks according to the text?
A. They are too young to tell right from wrong.
B. They are eager to challenge themselves.
C. They care a lot about what their peers think of them.
D. Their brains are more sensitive to thrilling events.
【3】 How does Steinberg explain the influence of peer pressure on teens’ behavior?
A. By performing an in-depth analysis.
B. By giving examples.
C. By using a metaphor (比喻).
D. By presenting research findings.
【4】According to the text, with peers around them, teenagers tend to ______.
A. use more self-control
B. become more careful about what they do
C. perform better than when they are alone
D. focus more on short-term benefits
【5】What can we conclude from the text?
A. Those who love taking risks are more likely to commit violent crimes.
B. The majority of teenagers become less violent when they grow up.
C. Violent teenagers often grow to be adults who cannot control themselves well.
D. People who are over 19 years old are less likely to commit a crime than Teenagers.
23、 After watching Stanford's graduation celebration online,Farrow took to social media to announce the milestone to her followers. “I graduated from college today. First-generation, low-income, and first from my tribe(部落)to graduate from Stanford," she posted.The message quickly attracted thousands of likes and comments. Farrow said she was shocked by the sudden fame. “I didn't know how to react,” she said. "So, I kind of kept it a secret for as long as I could. " But that proved to be easier said than done.
Farrow's home is on the Umatilla Indian Reservation in the countryside of Oregon. The reservation is small and home to about 3,500 members of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla. Growing up there wasn't always easy. Few residents attend college, and many are low-income and face health challenges.
"Like most reservations in the United States,we have a lot of health disparities(差异)that range from mental health, physical health and spiritual health," she said."I wanted to break that cycle for the betterment of myself and the future generations and my community." Growing up, Farrow threw herself into academics and school activities. She attended a local tribal high school and earned the Gates Millennium Scholarship,a full academic scholarship for minority students.
At Stanford, Farrow majored in psychology with a concentration in health and development. She had initially planned to pursue a medical career and become a doctor but has decided to apply to graduate school this fall to pursue a master's degree in public health. She hopes to spend her career working to improve health outcomes for local people.
Farrow said her experience in the reservation has provided a solid foundation for her future. “I will remember the four years I spent at Stanford and I'm really excited to see what is next," she said.

24、The mom had died when the rescuers found her after the terrible earthquake. She was covered by a destroyed house.
