21、The parenting styles of parents in the United States are often criticized. One type of parenting that is criticized is a helicopter parent. This kind of parents hover over their children like helicopters, which means these parents are always on top of their children.
While being an aware and involved parent is not a bad thing, helicopter parents take it to the extreme. The actions of helicopter parents actually hurt children, by not teaching them to be responsible for their actions. For example, a helicopter parent would call their adult college-age child to wake them up to go to class, when part of college is learning to be responsible and learning to manage your own time. Helicopter parents are also overly worried about their kids getting hurt. This means helicopter parents hold back their child's natural curiosity. Part of growing up means your kid has to get hurt, physically and emotionally. This is how lessons are learned. Instead, the kids of helicopter parents can grow up to be overly needy, dependent adults. Some people blame the rise of helicopter parenting on the rise of cell phones. Mobile phones make it easier for parents to track their kids all the time.
The opposite of the helicopter mom is the free-range mom. The free-range mom follows a slow parenting style, meaning she lets her kids explore the world at their own pace with little direction. The name free-range comes from the idea that kids should have the freedom to explore their world or range in a way that makes sense to them. This often means that free-range moms will not schedule activities like extra classes or play dates for their kids. Instead a free-range mom will just let her child play in a park. There is less of an emphasis on things like the latest toys.
【1】Which word can best describe a helicopter parent?
A．Dependent.
B．Overprotective.
C．Demanding.
D．Involved.
【2】Why may the actions of helicopter parents hurt their children?
A．Their children may not be responsible for their actions.
B．Their children will explore the world with little direction.
C．Growing up means getting hurt physically and emotionally.
D．Their children cannot get up on time for their college class.
【3】What partially caused helicopter parents to emerge?
A．The ability to track people.
B．The need to look after ones' kids.
C．The rise of mobile phones.
D．The lack of curiosity in youngsters.
【4】What will a free-range mom do according to the passage?
A．Purchase the latest toys for their kids.
B．Put their children through extra classes.
C．Allow their children to explore the nature.
D．Avoid exposing their kids to painful lessons.
22、Punks, Ravers, Mods and Teddy Boys. No, these aren't some hot new bands, but the names of a number of British youth subcultures(亚文化) from the last 70 years.
Youth Club, a UK not-for-profit organization, released a book earlier this year celebrating many different subcultures from throughout Britain s recent history.
"A catalyst(催化剂) for creativity on the worldwide stage, British youth culture movements from the Teddy Boys of the 1950s to the grime Scene of the 2000s continue to play a pioneering role in music, fashion and creativity across the globe," it wrote on its website.
These subcultures were traditionally a way for young people to show their personalities to others. Walking around London in the 1970s would have meant seeing dozens of young "punks" - people dressed in ripped denim(破洞牛仔裤), leather jackets, body piercings(穿孔) and with brightly-dyed hair—on the streets. And in the90s, “ravers” were young people who threw all-night parties in abandoned buildings or car parks.
So, what was the reason behind these subcultures?
"On both sides of the Atlantic, more and more young disappointed teenagers were looking for an escape from the boredom and constraints(约束)of society, "wrote lan Youngs, BBC entertainment reporter. "Unemployment, racial tensions and social upheaval (剧变)added fuel to their fires."
Youth subcultures have all but disappeared in the West. Some experts believe the reason for this is the instant and low-priced availability of music and clothing in the internet age.
"Fashion and music, they’re much cheaper and they’re much faster today, " Ruth Adams, a culture lecturer at Kings College London told The Guardian.
"When I was a teenager, you had to stick to one type of music or fashion, because it cost more money. Now, it' s all a bit more blurry(模糊不清的),” she said, believing that it's harder to figure out someone's personality or music tastes nowadays just by looking at them.
Despite this, Adams believes that today’s young people are still finding their own way to express themselves, but in a more modern way.
"It's certainly happening online," she said. "It's a lot easier to use personas(伪装) online just by showcasing certain types of mysterious knowledge."

23、Denmark is one of the happiest nations on earth with some of the best quality of life. You don’t need statistics to understand the Dane’s happy lot. Walk around any Danish town and you’ll experience some of the most harmonious civic spaces anywhere. Their intimate scales and perfect transport systems combine the rich history and bold modern lines of the built environment to delight the eye, and the locals’ manners and sense of humor is refreshing.
Denmark’s capital Copenhagen is a remarkable city with well-preserved medieval streets, renowned art galleries, Michelin-starred restaurants and a healthy business center.

24、The World Health Organization has for the first time expressed “cautions optimism” that the growth in new Ebola cases in West Africa may be slowing down.
Bruce Aylward, who is in charge of the WHO response to Ebola, said in Geneva that he was particularly encouraged by evidence of a downward trend in Liberia, one of the three worst-affected countries.
The WHO’s official total number of Ebola cases has reached 13.703—a big jump from the10,141 cases it reported four days ago. But Dr Aylward said that was mainly the result of the data being updated with old cases, rather than new cases arising.
“Do we feel confident that the response is now getting an upper hand on the virus? Yes, we are seeing a slowing rate of new cases, very definitely.” Dr Aylward said.
However, Dr Aylward also urged people not to celebrate prematurely over any apparent downturn in the epidemic（传染病). “I’m terrified that the information will be misinterpreted and people will think Ebola is under control.” he said.
Any reduction in the battle against the virus might lead to “an oscillating（震荡的）pattern where the disease moves up and down”.
The improvement in Liberia seems to be due to a combination of more treatment facilities, better contact tracing and safer burial practices, together leading to fewer new infections from Ebola patients.
In Sierra Leone the number of cases continues to increase in some areas. “We’re still seeing this thing burning quite hot in parts of Sierra Leone,” Dr Aylward said
Tracing the progress of individual patients, the WHO estimates an overall death rate of 70 percent, though people who receive treatment in a well-equipped clinic are slightly less likely to die. The WHO plans to set up 56 Ebola clinics with 4,700 beds in West Africa. Of these 15 clinics with 1,050 beds are already operational and another 22 clinics are expected to open during November.
Meanwhile, two former NATO（北约）secretaries-general and dozens of leading European politicians have urged the alliance to send troops, aircraft and ships to west Africa to help contain the Ebola crisis.
【1】In the first paragraph, “cautious optimism” probably refers to ________.
A. Ebola under control thanks to WHO’s caution
B. the decline of new Ebola cases though not defeated
C. celebrations on the downturn in Ebola in Liberia
D. More treatment and relief supplies to West Africa
【2】Why did Dr Aylward urge people not to celebrate prematurely?
A. Because celebrations may increases infections.
B. Because the pattern of the disease is up and down.
C. Because people may be misled to cease the battle.
D. Because we are getting an upper hand on the virus.
【3】Which of the following didn’t contribute to the improvement in Liberia?
A. better contact tracing B. more treatment facilities
C. safer burial practices D. data updated with old cases
【4】According to the text, “burning quite hot” means ________.
A. very severe B. extremely hot
C. on fire D. well received
