26、A teenager needs to have a sense of independence in their life to feel secure(安全的). To some teenagers independence means a lot to them, and I think that some parents don’t allow their teenagers enough independence.
Independence has something to do with freedom. Some kids are not allowed to go anywhere alone, and the only thing their schedule includes is going to school, coming home, going to sleep, and repeating the process the next day. Parents tend to be afraid that their kids can get hurt if they go outside into the world. But if parents control their kids too much, they may never learn to live on their own. The best way for a teenager to learn lesson is through experience. I think it is beneficial for teenagers to have freedom.
Teenagers’ lack of freedom can also stop them from having good friendship at school. Some might say this is a good thing, because it helps them focus more on their school work. I argue that this can only discourage them not to do their school work. Some parents do not allow their children to be around their friends outside the school, thinking that this will get them into trouble. But I don’t think so. Instead, isn’t this a good reason for parents to get their children a cellphone? Cellphones allow teenagers to stay in touch with their parents, and communicate with friends.
Privacy is another issue between parents and their teenagers. Teenagers tend to enjoy relaxation by themselves in their own room. This also gives them a sense of independence. It often annoys teenagers when their parents enter their room when they are not home. I know that my mom always goes in my room when I’m not home, and this has brought me to the point where I have asked many times to get a lock on my door.
【1】What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
A.Kids know how to live independently.
B.Some parents allow their kids no freedom.
C.It benefits teenagers to have freedom.
D.Kids have a dull routine every day
【2】In the opinion of the author, ___________.
A.parents should make it easy for kids to communicate with their friends
B.good friendships between kids harm their school work
C.it is unnecessary for a kid to have a cellphone
D.kids should focus on the school work
【3】How do teenagers usually feel when their parents enter their rooms in their absence?
A.Disappointed
B.Lucky
C.Angry
D.Calm
【4】The author hopes to have her door locked in order to ______________.
A.keep her father from reading her dairy
B.prevent her mother entering her room
C.Protect herself from any harm
D.Stop thieves from going in

28、 Myth: If you cut your hair, it will grow long faster.
Truth: That’s not true. “Your hair isn’t like a lawn or a rosebush, where cutting can stimulate fresh growth,” says Phillip Kingsley. The length of your hair is genetically determined. When it reaches a certain length, it stops growing. When you clear up the dead split ends, this makes your hair look healthier, but not necessarily longer.
Myth: If you skip meals, you lose weight fast.
Truth: There’s no truth in this advice. Not only will you not lose weight by starving yourself, but according to Carol Ann Rinzler, this may actually cause you to gain weight. Rinzler reasons that missing a meal causes your metabolism (新陈代谢) to slow down so that you burn food more slowly. This only makes you feel hungrier and by the time you finally do reach the table you will probably eat more food. Strange as it may seem, studies show that eating several small meals and snacks throughout the day is a more healthy way to lose pounds.
Myth: If you swallow goon, it will stay inside your stomach for seven years.
Truth: Actually, it takes just a few days for gum to make its exit - not seven years, says Nei Izenberg, M. D., editor of Kids Health organization. But because gum is made of the same thing as rubber, it cannot be fully digested in your stomach — so if you gum up the works on a regular basis, might find yourself in a stick situation.
Myth: The best way to stop a nosebleed is to lift your head back.
Truth: Now that’s bad advice. Bloody noses are caused by broken blood vessels, so while lifting your head back might stop the fluid from rushing out of your nose, it won’t stop the bleeding; you’ll just end up swallowing lots of blood. Your best bet? “Rest quietly. Don’t poke or pick, and the blood will naturally clot (凝结) within a minute or two,” suggests Dr. Izenberg.
【1】The length of your hair is determined by ________.
A.cutting it often B.your gene
C.the food you eat D.clearing up the dead split ends
【2】According to Carol Ann Rinzler, skipping meals will ________.
A.help you lose weight fast B.help you lose weight slowly
C.cause you to become fatter D.make you burn food more quickly
【3】Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Gum cannot be fully digested in the stomach.
B.Gum can stay inside your stomach for seven years if you swallow it.
C.Gun can leave your stomach after you swallow it a few days later.
D.If you often swallow gum, you might find yourself in a sticky situation.
【4】What does the phrase “best bet” mean?
A.A large sum of money. B.An impossible action.
C.High expectation. D.A wise solution.
29、 When young people begin to live independently, home-hunting can be difficult. But they would do well to remember that a new choice is available --- micro-homes.
Fondly called "tiny houses," these houses have all living necessities in a small package, including kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Generally under 50 square meters, most tiny houses can hold just one or two people though some claim the space for more. What's lost in size is not lost in designas these homes are often quite modern in design.
Besides an attractive appearance, tiny houses can also have practical features. Making the best of urban space, the 72-to-122-centimeter-wide Keret House in Warsaw, the world's narrowest home, filled in an alley(小巷). The home Ecocapsule uses solar power, wind power and rainwater collection to enable its owner to live practically anywhere.
Although micro-homes are attractive, there are a few disadvantages to consider before getting comfortable on a minicouch. Moving into a tiny house, you should throw away unnecessary things. It is also mostly impossible to invite guests. And finally, a micro-home is likely a temporary(暂时的) living choice for most people since they will probably start families and own more things.
Though the limitation will scare some, there is usually a benefit. A small size results in low prices and small bills, making tiny houses easier to save up for. And though you won't have many things around the house, it makes it easy and simple to keep it clean. Micro-homes are also eco-friendly, which can't be matched by other homes. They probably aren't for everyone or forever, but when it comes to your next (or first) home, they could be just what you need.
【1】What can be learnt about micro-homes from Paragraph 2? ______
A. People can't take a package into the tiny houses.
B. All of the houses can hold more than two people.
C. These houses are convenient though tiny in size.
D. Such houses are poorly designed due to the small size.
【2】The author develops Paragraph 3 mainly ______ .
A. by example B. by comparisons
C. by order in space D. by causes and effects
【3】Micro-homes are especially suitable for ______ .
A. a young person who has many things
B. a person who doesn't have much money
C. a family wanting to protect environment
D. a family hoping to settle down in a city
【4】What can be the best title for the text? ______
A. East or west, home is the best. B. Micro-homes --- more than tiny!
C. Home-hunting --- no easy matter! D. Tiny or large, this is a choice.
