21、A generation of parents raised according to the permissive principles of postwar childcare experts is rediscovering the importance of saying "No" to their children．They are beginning to reclaim the house as their own．Even spanking（打屁股）is back．
While today's parents do not want to return to the Victorian era （时代）—when children were seen, spanked, but not heard—there is a growing acknowledgement that the laissez-faire approach produced a generation of children running rings around puzzled parents struggling to restore order．
Janthea Brigden, a trainer with Parent Network, says: " The problem is that parents don't want all that controlling things．What they want is to be able to discipline （管教） their children through teaching and encouraging．"
According to Steve Biddulph, the author of More Secrets of Happy Children, the permissive era was often just an excuse to ignore children．He believes discipline involves firm but friendly teaching and does not need to involve punishment．He teaches a method called "stand and think" , where a child is helped to figure out what is wrong and how to get it right．Mr．Biddulph understands parents using spanking, but lie is against it．"The happiest children are those who know Mum and Dad are in charge．As children grow into their teens, more negotiation can take place, such as: Prove you can be home safely by 1l pm, and we might let you stay out till midnight．"
" There is no good evidence that an occasional, properly administered spanking is harmful in any way．" says John Rosemond, an American who has won a huge following by calling for "parent power"．It is pure nonsense to believe that restricting children to their room as a punishment could make them have negative feelings about the room and cause sleep problems．
Mr．Rosemond tracks the overturning of traditional family values to the end of the Second World War．He blames the change of the American family into a child-centered, self-respect-oriented （以…为导向） unit on psychologists and social workers, who for 30 years have weakened traditional approaches．Previous generations of American parents raised children not by the book, but by self-evident truth, he says．Children should be seen and hot heard．If you make your bed, you'll have to lie in it．He says that those phrases contain time-honored understanding and principles that helped children to develop what we refer to as the "three Rs" of parenting: respect, responsibility and resourcefulness．
【1】Which is closest to the meaning of the underlined word "laissez-faire" in the second paragraph?
A．Let it be． B．Go for it．
C．Get it right． D．Take it easy．
【2】If his child did something wrong, Steve Biddulph would ______．
A．give him a good beating
B．lock him up in a dark room
C．ask him to stand in a corner for hours
D．help him find out the problem and solution
【3】By mentioning the underlined part in the last paragraph, Mr．Rosemond ．
A．blames parents for ignoring children's rights
B．reminds parents to communicate more with children
C．encourages parents to involve children more in family affairs
D．explains how previous generations of parents raised children
【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．The causes of discipline problems．
B．The best way to discipline children．
C．Different opinions on ways of parenting．
D．Differences between parents of different times
22、My brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister’s bureau(衣橱)and picked out a wonderful skirt. “Jan bought this the first time we went to New York, at least eight or nine years ago. She never wore it. She was saving it for a special occasion. ” Well, I guess this is the occasion.
He took the skirt from me and put it on the bed. His hands touched the soft material for a moment, and then he shut the drawer and turned to me, “Don’t ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day you’re alive is a special occasion.”
I’m still thinking about his words, and they’ve changed my attitude to life. I’m spending more time with my family and friends and less time on committee meetings. Whenever possible, life should be a pattern of experience to enjoy, not suffer. I’m trying to recognize these moments now and treasure them.
“Some day” and “one of these days” are being lost from my vocabulary. If it’s worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now. I’m not sure what my sister would have done if she had known she wouldn’t have tomorrow.
I think she would have called family members and a few close friends. She might have called a few former friends to apologize and mend her fences for past things. I think she would have gone out for a Chinese dinner, her favorite food.
If I knew that my hours were limited, those little things left undone would make me angry. Angry because I put off seeing good friends whom I was going to get in touch with some day. Angry and sorry because I didn’t tell my husband and daughter often enough how much I truly love them.
I’m trying very hard not to put off, hold back, or save anything that would add laughter to our lives. And every morning when I open my eyes, I tell myself that every day, every minute, every breath truly…, is a gift worth cherishing.
【1】What kind of person do you think Jan is?
A. Mean and conservative.
B. Active and confident.
C. Economical and introvert(内向).
D. Indifferent and distant.
【2】Which of the following is not the writer’s attitude to life?
A. Spending more time staying with the family.
B. Enjoying life and valuing every day.
C. Attending social activities as often as possible.
D. Trying to get along well with friends.
【3】Which of the following can best explain the underlined expression “mend her fences for past”?
A. Break her word.
B. Try to be friendly again with someone.
C. Give up her point of view.
D. Keep her promise.
【4】What can be inferred from the passage?
A. People are advised to treasure every day and the meaning of life.
B. People are encouraged to be hard on themselves for a bright life.
C. People are told to get rid of being angry and sorry in life.
D. People are persuaded to care for themselves more than others.
23、You may have experienced the frustration of receiving a parking fine or finding your car towed away （拖走）after leaving it parked for a couple of minutes．
But now a high tech car sticker could help motorists avoid such a situation by allowing a traffic warden（管理员）to get in touch with them．Car owners can buy the sticker and place it inside their car’s windscreen，having set it up with vital information，such as their phone number．The slim design will i nclude a sensor that will send a text message warning a driver about a coming fine when touched by a traffic warden．The message will ask them to move their car immediately．The driver could then type a reply for the warden us ing their smartphone，which will appear on the sticker’s screen．They may choose to write something along the lines of“back in two minutes”in a bid to avoid a fine．Frankfurt-based IT consultant，Daniel Kalliontzis，came up with the idea and is raising funds on Indiegogo to put his 54 sticker into production．
The smart sticker system will rely on the good will of traffic wardens and critically，a German law．The law states:“An officer has to choose the most e fficient and inexpensive way for the car owner to remove the vehicle．”It could be cheaper for the authorities to contact the driver than to tow his car．
At the time of writing，Mr Kalliontzis has raised just over 3，000 of his 50，000 goal on Indiegogo．If he manages to raise the money，the stickers will be shipped in June 2015．But it appears that car owners using the smart system could get some unnecessary warning messages，because anyone could touch the smart sticker．
【1】The first paragraph is intended to ________．
A． highlight an awkward situation
B． complain about a parking fine
C． introduce the topic of the passage
D． remind motorists of the parking risk
【2】What may probably contribute to the application of the TowStop sticker in Germany？
A． The sticker’s low cost．
B． The mass production．
C． The goodwill of motorists．
D． The law of the country．
【3】What can be concluded from the last paragraph about the TowStop Sticker？
A． It takes time and efforts to put it to use．
B． Only traffic wardens can touch the sticker．
C． All car owners will use the sticker in 2015．
D． Kalliontzis is experienced in raising money．
【4】What’s the right order of the following statements according to the passage？
①A message is sent by the sensor．
②The sticker is put inside a car’s windscreen．
③A traffic warden touches the smart sticker．
④The sticker is set up with vital information．
⑤The motorist sends a message．
A． ②④⑤③①
B． ④②③①⑤
C． ④②③⑤①
D． ②④①③⑤
24、Finding it hard to focus in the modern open office setup is a common problem. For some, the only way to actually get things done is to leave the office and work from a coffee shop. It may sound strange, but research shows that workers are able to focus more attentively on their job in a busy coffee shop than from their office. And it's not because of tasty coffee they're sipping on.
A newly study from Harvard Business Review reports that noise may not be the problem—it's the people who are making the noise. A research conducted in the Journal of Consumer Research found that the just right amount of surrounding noise can actually be helpful in thinking creatively. Of course, there may be the same levels of noise in an average office as there are in a coffee shop, but because most workers want or have to engage in office conversations, those noises act as a distraction. Essentially, the white noise present in cafe-like spaces produce an environment that can cause your brain to loosen up and thus think creatively; on the other hand, being in an open office exposes you to distractions from package deliveries to group announcements or your coworkers' whispering. Constantly being interrupted from your workflow is without doubt preventing your most creative thoughts from being realized.
Some employers try to make their open workspaces more like coffee shops, offering employees hang-out spaces in parts of the building with more comfortable seats and non-office settings. The idea is on the right track—focusing on work away from your desk may prevent certain distractions—however, you're still not safe from chatty coworkers entering the space, bringing the latest office stories along with them.
While putting on headphones is a good way to keep the noise from outside your office on a regular basis, when you're working on a big creative project, it may still be best to brainstorm in a coffee shop for an hour or so.
【1】What's the issue presented in Paragraph 1?
A．Taste of coffee.
B．Office setting.
C．Worker's concentration.
D．Potential workers.
【2】What's the real reason for distraction?
A．Co-workers.
B．Noise of office.
C．Setup of office.
D．Lack of coffee.
【3】How does the second paragraph mainly develop?
A．By providing examples.
B．By making comparisons.
C．By following the order of time.
D．By following the order of importance.
【4】What's the writer's attitude towards working in a coffee shop?
A．Negative.
B．Neutral.
C．Unknown.
D．Supportive.
