21、It doesn’t matter how smart teens are or how well they scored on the SAT or ACT. Good judgment isn’t something they can do extremely well in, at least not yet.
The rational (理性的) part of a teen’s brain isn’t fully developed and won’t be until age 25 or so. In fact, recent research has found that adult and teen brains work differently. Adults think with the brain’s rational part. This is the part of the brain that responds to situations with good judgment and an awareness of long-term consequences.
Teens process information with the emotional part. In teens’ brains, the connections between the emotional part of the brain and the decision-making center are still under development—and not always at the same rate. That’s why when teens have overwhelming (压倒性的) emotional input, they can’t explain later what they were thinking. They weren’t thinking as much as they were feeling.
So, you need to understand what is happening. Discussing the consequences of their actions can help teens link impulsive (冲动的) thinking with facts. Teen brains need more sleep than adults, so try to guide your teens toward good sleep habits. It’s normal for teens to be down or out of sorts for a couple of days. But if you see a significant mood or behavioral change that lasts more than 2 weeks, it could mean something else is going on, such as depression. Depression is serious and, if left untreated, can be life-threatening.
Your teens need your guidance, even though they may think they don’t. Understanding their development can help you support them in becoming independent, responsible adults.
【1】How do adults deal with information?
A．React emotionally.
B．Think rationally.
C．Judge subjectively.
D．Behave impulsively.
【2】Why do teens fail to explain their thoughts when angry?
A．Their decision- making ability is weak.
B．They pay less attention to their feelings.
C．They don’t know how to make judgment.
D．The rational parts of their brains are developing.
【3】What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A．It is vital for parents to offer teens’ proper direction.
B．Impulsive actions benefit teens’ rational thinking.
C．It is necessary for teens to sleep as long as they want.
D．There’s no need to care about teens’ lasting mood changes.
【4】What is the purpose of the text?
A．To tell readers how to deal with depression.
B．To introduce the working principles of brains.
C．To explain the reasons for teens’ misbehaviors.
D．To advise the parents to give teens more instruction.
22、Literature is the body of written works produced by scholars and researchers, who specialize in a given field. Why is literature important? Let’s see.
Literary works are descriptions of the thinking patterns and social criteria(准则) and they’re descriptions of the different aspects of common people’s life.【1】They also encourage imagination and creativity. Exposing oneself to good literary works is like providing one with the finest educational opportunities. On the other hand, the lack of exposure to good literature is equal to depriving(剥夺) one of the opportunity to grow.
Some of the great literary works provide society with the guiding principles of life. Works by poets like Homer, Plato, Sappho, Horace and many more are timeless.【2】The Lord of the Rings, The Godfather, A Tale of Two Cities, and James Bond series are some of the best-selling books of all time that have entertained several generations.
There are also great works in children’s literature. Amused by the stories they tell, kids associate themselves with these books’ characters and idealize some of them. Moral stories are an aid for parents and teachers to let the kids learn important lessons in life. Aesop, Enid Blyton, and Mark Twain are some of the most widely popular children’s authors.【3】
True, languages are the building parts of literature. But the study of literature cannot be restricted to only studying languages.【4】A degree in language and literature perhaps can’t provide one with everything literature can offer. Its scope(范围) is so deep and wide that even a lifetime may not be enough to really study literature.
【5】Great literary and poetic works help a person take a closer look at the different aspects of living. In many ways, literature, in its different forms, can change one’s attitude towards living.
A．Literature helps understand life.
B．Literature has an effect on health and wealth.
C．They have enriched the childhoods of so many.
D．Classical literary works serve as food for thought.
E．In fact, literature means more than just an educational course.
F．They are so great that they have always attracted their readers.
G．Instead, literature lays the foundation of a wealthy life, adding “life” to “living”

24、In today's world of smart phones and laptops, most people have at least one time-telling thing with them. Since these digital products are so common, is time running out for the 500-year-old watch? According to some consumers, the answer is yes. New Jersey teenager Charlie Wollman says a watch is “an extra piece of equipment with no necessary function.” Many young adults think so and use their smart phones to tell time. It is said that fewer young people wear watches today than ten years ago. As a result, some people say that the watch industry is at a crossroads.
However, watchmakers optimistically say that watches redeem（挽回） popularity when consumers reach their 20s and 30s. By then, they are willing to spend money on a quality watch that doesn’t just keep good time. Fifty years ago, watchmakers took pride in their products’ accuracy. But in recent years, the watch industry has changed itself into an accessory(配饰) business. And today, the image a watch conveys has become more important than the time it tells.
“Complications” — features that go beyond simple timekeeping — are an important part of a watch’s image. Today’s watches offer lots of features that meet almost any personality. These features include compasses, USB drivers, and even other functions that measure the effectiveness of golf swings!
Creativity also plays a key role in designing today’s watches. For example, Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash makes watches that don’t even look like watches. The company’s popular Shinshoku model uses different color lights to tell time. It looks more like a fashionable bracelet（手镯） than a watch.
Whether a watch conveys fashion sense, creative talent or a love of sports, consumers want their watches to stand out. Nowadays, everyone has the same kind of little things in their bags, so people want to make a statement with what’s on their wrists. Will this interest in wrist fashion last? Only time will tell!
【1】What can we know from the first paragraph?
A. As most people see, watches are out of fashion.
B. Some people feel that watches have been of no use.
C. The watch industry will close down sooner or later.
D. There are so many choices of watches for teenagers today.
【2】According to the passage, what image does a watch convey nowadays?
A. It simply tells time.
B. It appeals to many teenagers.
C. It has many complex functions.
D. It has an impact on creativity and imagination.
【3】Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash is mentioned in Paragraph 4 to _________.
A. show why Shinshoku watches are popular
B. advertise Shinshoku watches made by Tokyoflash
C. make a comparison between watches and bracelets
D. tell that today’s watches need more imagination
【4】What may be the best title for the passage?
A. Watches Tell More Than Time
B. Japanese Watches Stand Out
C. Watch Industry Is in a Bad Situation
D. Watches Are Becoming Less Popular

But Zackary Johnson, who is turning eleven years old in a few days, did the right thing.
