21、   It’s late at night. A car stops in the middle of a forest. After dropping off their three teenagers, the parents say “good luck” and drive away. The teenagers, totally lost, have to find their way back home by themselves.

It may sound crazy to you, but this is a tradition with a long history for Dutch parents called “dropping”. Dutch people believe that children should not depend too much on their parents and should learn how to solve problems through activities like “dropping”.

However, for many other parents around the world, their top worry is their children’s safety. After all, why should they put their children at risk when there are many other ways to develop their independence?

People have many different opinions about parenting (育儿). All parents want their children to be happy, healthy and successful. In China, for example, many parents spend much money on summer vacation activities for their children. They want their children to enjoy their vacation as much as possible.

But some parents try too hard and become “helicopter ( 直 升 机 ) parents”—just the opposite of “dropping”. They worry too much about their children and pay attention to everything they do—like helicopters flying over their children. In their eyes, children need to be protected all the time.

But this might not be a good parenting style either, according to American parenting expert Kenneth Ginsburg. As Ginsburg writes, parents should keep a balance (平衡) by “making sure their children don’t crash (碰撞) against the rocks, but allowing them to ride the waves (波浪).”

【1】For Dutch people, “dropping” can help children .

A.learn how to solve problems B.find their homes in forests

C.depend on their parents D.enjoy a summer vacation

【2】Many other parents around the world worried the most about  .

A.good luck B.safety C.grades D.success

【3】Which one of the following pictures can best show “helicopter parents”?

A.A B.B C.C D.D

【4】According to Kenneth Ginsburg, parents should   .

A.find a balance between keeping safe and letting go

B.depend a lot on their children in the future

C.let their children take risks all the time

D.watch their children doing everything

22、Teeth are important. Strong , healthy teeth help you chew(咀嚼) foods that help you grow. They help you speak clearly. And yes, they help you look best. Here are some tips for you to take care of your teeth:

1.Brush your teeth the right way.

Brush your teeth at least twice a day – after breakfast and before bedtime. If you can, brush after lunch or after sweet snacks, too. Brush all of your teeth, not just the front ones.

23、   Dogs like living with people. They are very friendly. They can do many things for people.

Some dogs help people to look after sheep, other dogs help them to find the lost children. And some of the dogs can help the blind.

There is a kind of dog whose name is Seeing Eye Dog. Now we can see this kind of dog all over the world. They are working for the blind. The Seeing Eye Dog is strong and easy to train. He helps the blind to walk from place to place. Before a dog becomes a Seeing Eye Dog, he must be in a training school for about three months. First the dog has to learn to sit or stay when he hears the trainer’s call. In his next lesson the dog learns to take his trainer across busy streets. The dog has many things to learn. At the end of the training, he must take tests. When he passes the tests, the Seeing Eye Dog will do things by himself.

Now he can help the blind people. The new master may be a man , a woman or even a child. It takes the dog and his blind master about a month to learn to work and live together.

【1】The underline words “Seeing Eye Dog” means________.

A.导盲犬 B.看门狗 C.宠物狗 D.电子狗

A.learn to sit or stay when he hears the trainer’s call B.learn to take his trainer across the streets

24、Every time we get on a plane, we’re asked to either turn off our phones or change them to the flight mode—it’s for “safety reasons”.

But according to The Conversation website, having to turn our phones off on a plane is “a service issue, not a safety one”.

When we speak on our phones in the air, they can cause interference to the aircraft’s radios. Pilots can hear this interference in their headphones. “It’s the same noise you’ll be familiar with, if you put your mobile too close to a speaker,” the Mirror noted. “This sound does not affect safety, but is annoying for sure.” Though speaking on a phone during a flight isn’t dangerous, it isn’t still a good idea.

When we make or receive a call on the ground, we connect (连接) to a cell tower that deals with all calls within an 80-kilometer radius (范围). As we move from place to place we are “handed on” to different cell towers.

As US scientist Sven Bilen explains, there shouldn’t be too many “handoffs (信号转移)”; people shouldn’t travel faster than cars and phone users should be close to the ground.

However, during the flight, telephone calls cannot meet any of the conditions above. And even worse, our cellphones would stop working.

But now things are beginning to change. If we still can’t speak during a flight, we can use other phone functions (功能). For example, Airbus A330 of Emirates Airline has in-flight WiFi to make passengers send and receive short messages in the air. In the future, as Bilen points out, it may be possible for air travelers to make and receive calls freely.

【1】When you are on a plane, you should ________.

A．turn off your phone

B．turn the phone down to silence

C．put your phone in your bag

D．leave your phone at home

【2】The underlined word “interference” here means “_______” in Chinese.

A．震动

B．干扰

C．记录

D．光束

【3】When we make or receive a call on the ground, _______.

A．we must walk around all the time

B．the phone must be more expensive

C．we must travel faster than a car

D．there must be a cell tower that deals with the call

【4】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A．It’s not a good idea to make phone calls on an airplane.

B．Telephone calls on airplanes are bad for the airplane radio.

C．Now we can use other phone functions on planes.

D．On a plane, our cellphones work better than on the ground.

【5】The best title for the passage may be “________”.

A．Can we make calls on a plane?

B．How to make calls on a plane

C．What to do with cellphones on planes
