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
27、 When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called "Brownie". My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.
One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破)one of Dad's shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, "Bad girl, "she looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.
Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. She went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she'd let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we' d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked(吠) or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone. .
Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss the days when she was with us.
【1】What would Brownie do when someone was ill in the family?

28、 My boss’s daughter was studying in the Phinilippines. He asked me if my husband and I could take care of her. He thought his daughter would be able to improve her English communication skills in this way.
After days of thinking, we agreed. He then brought her here and left after 3 days. I thought that my boss’s daughter was well-mannered, but that was wrong.
After a month of staying in the Philippines, she started to show her true colors. When my husband asked her what she wanted for breakfast, she answered him in a rude way. From then on, we experienced fights at home. There was a time when we didn’t talk to her for a week as a punishment of not being good to us. What I hated most was that she didn’t care about other people’s feelings. She ate ahead of us when we were still working and didn’t leave anything for us. So we had to separate her food from ours to avoid such a problem.
The worst thing about her was that she shouted at us. I was wondering if she did this to her parents. We told this to her parents, but unfortunately I didn’t think that solved the problem. This situation lasted for almost 8 months. Our patience was tested during that time.
We tried to teach her everything we could to make her a better person, but I guess 8 months may not be enough. We even tried to understand her and adjust for her, but it didn’t work. I just hope that she learned something from us and from other Filipinos.

29、 In May, 2010, Christine Jones saw an ad for a customer service job at a call center in Mobile, Alabama. A company, which handles calls for insurance companies (保险公司), needed people with professional phone skills. Jones filled out an online application and was asked for an interview.
A few days later, she arrived at the company in a blue business suit and waited with other applicants for the interview. Jones was among several candidates offered a position that very day by the company's human resource manager Wilson. All that remained was for Jones to fill out some paperwork and take a drug test, which was scheduled for a future date. When Jones realized she was not available that day, she privately told Wilson about the conflict, and Wilson replied that she could reschedule her test for another day.
But right before Jones turned to leave the office, Wilson raised a strange question: Did Jones have dreadlocks (骇人的长辫)? Jones, who is a black, was wearing a dread—very short ones. Wilson, who is white, explained the company couldn’t employ Jones 'with the dreadlocks', since they 'tend to get messy, although I'm not saying yours are, but you know what I'm talking about'. Although Jones would never communicate with callers face to face, the company had 'a policy', which stated that 'hairstyles should show a business image', and that 'excessive (过分的) styles and unusual colors' weren't allowed. Wilson asked Jones to choose whether to get rid of the dread or leave the job. Jones walked out, jobless.
In September, 2013, the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEOC) accused the company on behalf of Jones in the District Court. It argued that the company's policy broke the state's law by discriminating (歧视) against a black job applicant because of her hairstyle, which is 'a manner of wearing a hair that is physiologically (生理上地) and culturally associated with people of African origin.'
But the company claimed that the issue wasn't Jones' race. It was simply about a hairstyle, which Jones, or any applicant, black or white, with dreads, could have changed if she wanted to land the job.
【1】What can we know according to the first two paragraphs?
A.The job Jones applied for mainly dealt with insurance.
B.Jones didn't prepare well for the job interview.
C.Wilson was in charge of the insurance company.
D.Jones rescheduled her test because she wasn’t free on that day.
【2】What does the underlined word 'messy' in Para.3 mean?
A.dirty B.straight C.loose. D.attractive.
【3】The passage shows that ______.
A.Wilson was accused of discriminating against a black applicant.
B.Jones' hairstyle suggested her African origin in physiology and culture.
C.Jones had no choice but to leave the company.
D.Jones went jobless because of her excessive hair color.
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A.A case of discrimination. B.Dreadlocks, a dread?
C.A black with dreadlocks. D.An argument on dreadlocks.

31、课文内容填空
Middle English is the name 【1】(give) to the English used from around the 12th to the 15th centuries. Many things played a part in the 【2】(develop) of this new type of English. The most important 【3】(贡献) was from the Normans, a 【4】 (French speak) people who【5】 (打败) England and took control of the country in 1066. 【6】, the Norman Conquest did not affect English as much as the Angles and the Saxons’ victory about 600 years earlier, which led to Old English 【7】 (replace) Celtic. Even though the Normans spoke French for the e【8】 250 years they ruled England, French did not replace English 【9】 the first language. On the other hand, the English language did borrow many words from French. This resulted in even more words with similar meanings, such as answer (from Old English) and reply (from Old French).
