21、 If you were like most children, you probably got upset when your mother called you by a brother’s or sister’s name. How could she not know you? Did it mean she loved you less?
Probably not. According to the first research to deal with this topic head-on, misnaming the most familiar people in our life is a common cognitive (认知的) error that has to do with how our memories classify and store familiar names.
The study, published online in April in the journal Memory and Cognition, found that the “wrong” name is not random but is always fished out from the same relationship pond: children, friends, brothers and sisters. The study did not examine the possibility of deep psychological significance to the mistake, says psychologist David Rubin, “but it does tell us who’s in and who’s out of the group.”
The study also found that within that group, misnamings occurred where the names shared initial or internal sounds, like Jimmy and Joanie or John and Bob. Physical resemblance between people was not a factor. Nor was gender.
The researchers conducted five separate surveys of more than 1,700 people. Some of the surveys included only college students; others were done with a mixed-age population. Some asked subjects about incidents where someone close to them – family or friend – had called them by another person’s name. The other surveys asked about times when subjects had themselves called someone close to them by the wrong name. All the surveys found that people mixed up names within relationship groups such as grandchildren, friends and brothers and sisters but hardly ever crossed these boundaries.
In general, the study found that undergraduates were almost as likely as old people to make this mistake and men as likely as women. Older people and women made the mistake slightly more often, but that may be because grandparents have more grandchildren to mix up than parents have children. Also, mothers may call on their children more often than fathers, given traditional gender norms. There was no evidence that errors occurred more when the misnamer was frustrated, tired or angry.
【1】How might people often feel when they were misnamed?
A.Unwanted. B.Unhappy. C.Confused. D.Indifferent.
【2】What did David Rubin’s research find about misnaming?
A.It is related to the way our memories work.
B.It is a possible indicator of a faulty memory.
C.It occurs mostly between kids and their friends.
D.It often causes misunderstandings among people.
【3】What did the surveys of more than 1,700 subjects find about misnaming?
A.It more often than not hurts relationships.
B.It hardly occurs across gender boundaries.
C.It is most frequently found in extended families.
D.It most often occurs within a relationship group.
【4】Why do mothers misname their children more often than fathers?
A.They suffer more frustrations.
B.They become worn out more often.
C.They communicate more with their children.
D.They generally take on more work at home.
22、It's never been easier to find vacant(空缺的）jobs or to apply for them nowadays.“With technology,it's much easier,”says Dennis Masel,chief operating officer of a US staffing agency.Mr. Masel says PDF files,mobile devices and fast Internet have changed the way he works.“I used to personally send my resumes (简历) to a client's(客户) office,”he says.“Now I can send an application to a client within seconds via the Internet.”
Some companies have developed their own mobile apps to simplify the process.Job seekers can post their resumes online and apply for posts with a single mouse click.And it is not only computers but also mobile phones.However, some employers do not trace the applications they receive.It results in candidates becoming disillusioned and less unlikely to get new jobs. Dennis Masel says three steps can help you stand out.
First,he advises candidates to reach out to online networking connections at the company where you want to work.“By making a personal connection,you could essentially make your application stand out and get noticed by people.”
Second, he says,you must react quickly when you see a job you want.“For every position that you are interested in,you have to imagine that thousands of jobseekers are all coming after the same position.You have to be quick.Sometimes positions are filled within the span of hours.”
Third,use email notices on job listing sites and choose to get only the ones you want.
“I absolutely love email notices because I can get exactly the jobs that interest me, and it's really easy for me to basically in,”he says.“Put keywords in,such as the location you want to search and your experience,and get exactly what you want.”

23、 “Don’t be a helicopter parent.” This message has been repeated frequently and others try to encourage parents to back off their kids and give them greater space and freedom to explore. But it doesn't actually tell parents how they should act. What kind of parenting style should be adopted in place of the overprotectiveness of helicoptering?
One possible answer is, “Be a lifeguard parent.” That means sitting apart from the action and keeping an eye on everything that’s going on, ready to jump in if needed. This was brought up by Dr. Mariana Brussoni, a developmental psychologist at the University of British Columbia and Richard Monette, editor-in-chief of Active for Life. They think life guarding should include three parts.
Open attention is the stage parents should be in most of the time, showing a caring interest in what kids are doing, but keeping their physical distance and remaining non — intrusive (不介入的). Focused attention is when a parent perceives (察觉) warning signs and becomes more alert. Maybe it’s time to check in with the child to see how they’re doing. It might be a good opportunity to help the child think through their actions, rather than directing them. Most of the time, play goes back to being safe and the parent can return to open attention. Active intervention is when a parent needs to step in to reduce immediate risk. A child might not realize they’re close to the edge of a busy road or deep water, so the parent has to ensure their safety.
Brussoni says most of a parent's time should be spent in open attention. Days could pass，without ever entering focused attention. Active intervention should be extremely rare. It’s crucial to avoid telling kids to be careful all the time. This sends a message that the child can’t do things without parental assistance.
No one said parenting was easy, but it can be less unbearable if you let go of some control, teach your kids to do things independently, and trust them to self — regulate. Everyone comes out happier in the end.
【1】Why is helicopter parent mentioned in paragraph 1?
A.Warn parents not to overprotect kids.
B.Introduce another parenting approach.
C.Remind parents to give kids more freedom.
D.Make a comparison between two parenting styles.
【2】What will a lifeguard parent probably do?
A.Accompany kids as little as possible.
B.Tell kids to be aware whatever they are doing.
C.Direct kids when they are climbing a thin branch.
D.Urge kids to leave a heavy traffic road immediately.
【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Parenting has been the toughest job since ancient times.
B.Allowing parents to self-regulate may be of great benefit
C.Less control may lead to a harmonious parent-child relationship.
D.Child should be taught to things all by themselves to grow up.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Don’t Be a Helicopter Parent. B.Teach Kids to Identify Risks.
C.How to Guarantee Kids’ Safety. D.Strive to Be a Lifeguard Parent.
24、 Barry Farmer didn't have the easiest childhood, but it was an experience that made him who he is today—a foster father（养父）.
“When I was very little, I was going from home to home, living with friends of my parents. ” Farmer said. He then lived with his aunt, followed by a foster home.
When Farmer was four years old, something happened that would change his life forever： He moved in with his grandmother. At his grandmother's house, he had neighborhood friends, a good school and a sense of community. That stability was beneficial to Farmer,
“I lost my parents but I gained a whole village of support. That inspired me to become a foster parent, too," Farmer said.
When he was just 20 years old, he saw an advertisement about how to become a foster parent, "A year after getting licensed, I got my first case," he said. Farmer said social workers were not willing to assign（分配）him cases since he was not old enough, but he finally got his first child.
About a month after that child moved out, Farmer received another case. Farmer decided to take in 8-year-old Jaxon, “He was supposed to be with me temporarily," Farmer said. However, when Jaxon moved out, he was placed with a family who was supposed to adopt him but he didn't like it, "He missed me and I missed him because I wasn't really prepared for him to go,” Farmer said, "That's when I made a decision to keep him. ”
Foster care itself is so unpredictable. You don't know what to expect once you sign up," Farmer said, “There's no easy way to foster. It's an emotional（情感上的）journey. And you have to put your own personal feelings aside to make sure you're doing what's best for the children. But at last, both you and your foster children can benefit a lot. ”

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
When I was 19, I spent part of my summer at an adventure camp on Vancouver Island, supervising (照料) a group of 10-year-old girls. Towards the end of the first week, I took them on a camping. By six in the evening, we’d climbed a small mountain. The peak had trees on one side and bald rock on the other. I let the girls play in the wooded area while I arranged things for dinner.
When the screaming started, I wasn’t too alarmed-I could see my group tearing through the bush and thought they’d just disturbed a bees’ nest. As the first girl appeared, I asked what was going on. “Wildcat!” she gasped. The image in my head was of a house cat gone wild, but with her next breath she added, “It’s attacking Alyson.” I told the girls to climb on to the rocks and then ran to where they’d been playing. Alyson was lying by bush. She was on her back, eyes wide, staring at a huge cat beside her. The cat was watching me.
Anyone familiar with westerns will have seen a cougar (美洲狮) — the mountain lion that springs from the rock face on to the passerby. We’d been told how to deal with bears: “Keep still, back up, make yourself look big.” But we hadn’t covered cougars. I grabbed a stick and swung it into the animal’s face. Startled, it took off into the bushes.
Seeing that Alyson was hurt, I set off for the first-aid box, but hadn’t gone four steps when I heard a moan. Turning back, I saw the cougar crouched (蹲伏) by Alyson’s head. It appeared to be eating her. This time I used a bigger stick, hit harder and held on. Once again, it disappeared, and I knelt by Alyson.
“There’s no way someone can live through this,” I thought. The cat had torn deep into her neck. She had long cuts on her face. “Am I going to die?” she asked. Her heartbeat was racing but weak, the sign of a heart trembling from shock.
