26、Many parents have learned the hard way that what sounds like open communication is often the very thing that closes a youngster’s ears and mouth. One common mistake is the Lecture, the long monologue that often starts with “When I was your age” Eighteen-year-old Kelly calls lectures “long, one-side discussions in which I don’t say much.”
Kids reflexively(条件反射地)shut down in the face of a lecture. Their eyes glaze over(呆滞),and they don’t register any incoming information. Listen to 13-year-old Sarah describe her least favorite times with her mom and dad. “First, they scream. Then comes the ‘We’re so disappointed’ speech. Then the ‘I never did that to my parents’ lecture begins. After that, even if they realize how ridiculous they sound they never take it back.”
Lines like “When you have children of your own, you’ll understand” have been seriously said by parents since time immemorial. But many of our expert parents, like Bobby, a registered nurse and mother of three, feel that by falling back on clichés(陈词滥调)to justify your actions, we weaken our position.
Since kids are creatures of here and now, the far-off future has no relevance to them. Therefore, good communicators like Bobby suggest, “Give specific reasons for your actions in present language: ‘I’m not letting you go to the party because I don’t think there will be enough adult supervisions.’”
Betty, who lives in Missouri, uses an indirect approach. “I find that warnings are accepted more readily if I discuss a news article on a subject I am concerned about. My husband and I talk about it while our children absorb the information. Then they never think I’m preaching(布道).”
This really helped when Betty’s kids began driving. Instead of constantly repeating “Don’t drink; don’t speed,” she would talk about articles in the paper and express sympathy for the victims of a car crash. Betty made no special effort to draw her kids into the conversation. She depended on a teenager’s strong desire to put in his opinions---especially if he thinks he isn’t being asked for them.

27、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
Many times when children make a mistake,starting with breaking a window while playing football or skipping classes and ending with stealing something or fighting with another child,parents are always blamed by the society for not having known how to educate their offsprings(后代).The situation is not that easy to explain.
Parents always look for the best interest of their children and many times they are ready to take measures only for their sake.They know their children are suffering when they are forced to stay indoors or when they have no money,but they have to teach them a lesson so that they won’t repeat the same mistakes over and over again.When a child realizes that his father is talking seriously about him not being allowed to do something,he understands the seriousness of his deeds and he knows he will think twice before making the same mistake again.
These are the cases of the responsible parents,who suffer when they see that their children are not happy but who resist the temptation of forgiving them so easily so that they realize the gravity of their actions not only at present but also in the future.
On the other hand there are parents who always find excuses for their children’s behavior,who never consider they make mistakes or if they just do what they call “childish” things.
When you buy your children everything he has ever dreamt of or when you tell him he can wear a necklace even if he is only 13,he will become so spoiled that he won’t take into consideration anything of what you are telling him later on.He will get to the point where he steals from the house or from a shop so that he can afford to buy cigarettes or drugs.
【1】What does the author imply in the first paragraph?
A.It is the parents who are to blame when their children make mistakes.
B.Children are easy to make mistakes.
C.It is not always right to blame parents when their children make mistakes.

【2】According to the author,if a child makes a mistake,the parents should .
A.teach the child a lesson
B.understand the child and forgive him or her
C.not make him or her stay indoors
D.not forgive him or her at all
【3】We can infer from the passage that .
A.parents’ attitude towards their children’s mistakes affects their children’s behavior greatly
B.parents’ excuses for their children’s behavior make no difference to their children
C.children are hard to educate if they often make mistakes
D.parents who make excuses for their children’s bad deeds are not good parents
【4】The purpose of writing this passage is to .

28、Phillis Wheatley was born in Gambia (in Africa) on May 8, 1753 and died in Boston on December 5,1784. When she was seven or eight, she was sold as a slave to John and Susanna Wheatley of Boston. She was named after the ship that brought her to America, The Phillis. The family supposed the girl—who was “suffering from a change of climate”, with “no other covering than a dirty carpet”—to be “about seven years old...from the circumstances of shedding (使脱落) her front teeth”.
Phillis was very intelligent. The Wheatley family taught her to read and write, and encouraged her to write poetry. Her first poem On Messrs. Hussey and Coffin was published when she was only twelve. In 1770, An Elegiac Poem, on the Death of That Celebrated Divine, and Eminent Servant of Jesus Christ, the Reverend and Learned George Whitefield made her famous. It was published in Boston, Newport, and Philadelphia.
When she was eighteen, Phillis and Mrs Wheatley tried to sell a collection containing twenty-eight of Phillis’ poems. Colonists (殖民者) did not want to buy poetry written by an African. Mrs Wheatley wrote to England to ask Countess(女伯爵) of Huntingdon for help. The countess was a wealthy supporter of the abolition (废除) of slavery. Phillis had Poems on various subjects, religious and moral published in England in 1773. This book made Phillis famous in England and the thirteen colonies. She wrote a poem for George Washington in 1775, and he praised her work. They met in 1776. Phillis supported independence for the colonies during the Revolutionary War.
After her master died, Phillis was freed. She married John Peters, a free black man, in 1778. She and her husband lost two children. John was put into prison for debt in 1784. Phillis and her remaining child died in December of 1784 and were buried in an unmarked grave.
Phillis was the first African American and the first slave in the United States to publish a book. She was the first African American woman to earn a living from her writing. Phillis’ poetry proved the abolitionists’ idea that blacks could be artistic and intellectual. Her achievements were used to support a growing antislavery movement.
【1】The Wheatley family guessed the age of Phillis by ______.
A．her weight
B．her clothes
C．her skin color
D．the condition of her teeth
【2】It can be inferred from the text that Countess of Huntingdon ______.
A．lived on writing poems
B．helped Phillis get her writings published
C．supported independence for the colonies
D．felt surprised that Phillis could read and write
【3】What can we learn from the text?
A．Phillis was only 18 years old when her first poem was published.
B．Phillis ’ first attempt at selling her poetry in America was illegal.
C．Phillis ’ husband was put into prison for debt in 1778.
D．Phillis finally became free after her master died.
【4】The last paragraph is mainly about Phillis ’ ______.
A．marriage
B．achievements
C．sufferings as a slave
D．fight against slavery
29、Gyms that profit most from the January rush
Every year, like clockwork, many people go through the same routine. On December 26th and January 1st, as the fog of cheese, chocolate oranges and champagne lifts, regret creeps（悄悄出现）in. Online searches for “get fit” and “lose weight” increase.【1】“Intent typically takes seven to 14 days to turn into reality,” notes Humphrey Cobbold, chief executive of Pure Gym, Britain’s largest gym chain. So this week will be one of the busiest for the gym industry globally.
Many gym recruits（新成员）will have their new sportswear on for high-intensity interval training. In the basement of Another Space, a club near London’s Leicester Square, music pumps and light flash as a trainer shouts instructions to a group of mostly young women. They are pushed through bursts of burpees, handclap push-ups and various kick and punches at boxing bags. The training is murderous.【2】Such high-end gym can charge up to eight times as much as low-cost ones, based on two visits a week over a year.
They are at one end of a fitness market.【3】America’s market leader, Planet Fitness, promises “the best value on the planet”, and has over 10 million members; its shares rose in 2017. One in seven people in Britain is a gym member, and 35% of private memberships are low-cost, up from 14% in 2013, according to Leisure DB, a data firm. Mid-range clubs, meanwhile, have fared less well. Virgin Active recently sold its less luxurious facilities in Britain to avoid being squished（压扁）in the middle.
Pure Gym expects soon to reach 1 million members. Part of its appeal is that, unlike traditional gyms, members are not bound by a long contract. “We have taken a £500 decision and turned it into a £20 decision,” says Mr Cobbold.【4】Most new joiners do not plan to spend much money. But gyms proper on non-attendance. According to IHRSA, an industry body based in Boston, fewer than half of gym members in America hit the treadmill（跑步机）at least twice a week—until the exercise cycle begins anew the following January.
A．There will be other ripple effects（连锁反应）, too.
B．That will be good news for some gym goers because many will soon suffer a second round of regret.
C．However, the club’s luxurious changing rooms and bars relieve some of the pain.
D．Health clubs of all shapes and sizes stand ready to respond.
E．Spending on fashion items also increases around the time of joining a gym.
F．At the other are budget gyms, which have accounted for the big part of gym growth in recent years.

31、课文填空
New ideas and values gradually replaced old ones from the Middle Ages. As a result, painters concentrated less on religious themes. They began to adopt a more 【1】attitude to life. An important breakthrough during this period was the use of【2】by Masaccio (1401-1428).【3】painters such as Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), Michelangelo (1475-1564), and Raphael (1483-1520) built upon Giotto and Masaccio’s innovations to produce some of the greatest art that Europe had ever seen.
In subject matter, the 【4】increasingly shifted from religious themes to people and the world around us. Kings, nobles, and people of high rank wanted to purchase【5】pictures of themselves and the people they loved. Others wanted paintings showing important【6】events or stories from mythology. Finally, most clients wanted paintings that were beautiful and interesting to look at.
