15.Career success could be predicted as early as kindergarten,according to a 20-year study recently published in the American Journal of Public Health.
 Researchers from Pennsylvania State University and Duke University tracked more than 700children from across the US between kindergarten and age 25and found a significant correlation(相关性) between their social skills as kindergartners and their success as adults two decades later.
In 1991,teachers assessed how the kindergartners interacted with each other socially using a range of criteria like whether they cooperate with their peers without prompting(激励),if they're helpful to others,whether they're good at understanding feelings,and if they can solve problems on their own.
Researchers then kept track of whether the students went on to graduate high school on time,get a college degree,and find and keep a full-time job by 25.They also monitored the participants'involvement with crime,drug abuse,public assistance,and mental health issues.
The results showed that socially competent children were far more likely to earn a college degree and have a full-time job by 25than those with limited social skills.Those with limited social skills also had a higher chance of getting arrested,binge(放纵) drinking,and applying for public housing.
"This study shows that helping children develop social and emotional skills is one of the most important things we can do to prepare them for a healthy future,"said Kristin Schubert,program director at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation,which funded the research,in a release."From an early age,these skills can determine whether a child goes to college or prison,and whether they end up employed or addicted."The good news,according to Damon Jones,lead author of the study,is that intervention(干预) at a young age can help improve social and emotional skills."This research by itself doesn't prove that higher social competence can lead to better outcomes later on,"he said."But when combined with other research,it is clear that helping children develop these skills increases their chances of success in school,work,and life."
8.What has the 20-year study found?D
A.Most kindergartners can solve problems alone.
B.Helpful children understand others feeling better.
C.Outgoing children cooperate with their peers easily.
D.Social skills play a key role in children's development.
9.Paragraph 3and 4are mainly about?C
A.when the researchers began their study
B.how long it took to complete the study
C.how the researchers conducted the study
D.what factors were studied by the experts
10.What should parents do to help their children to succeed according to Kristin Schubert?A
A.Teach them how to cooperate with others.
B.Teach them some basic living skills.
C.Tell them to keep off alcohol.
D.Coach them in their lessons.
11.The text makes very good sense toB.
A.teenagers       B.educators        C.doctors         D.general readers.

3.Dear Alcohol,
    You've been around forever.I can remember all the pain you've caused for me.
Do you remember the night you almost took my father's life?I do.He loves you.Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me.He's addicted(上瘾) to you,to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them.You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street,crashing into two other cars.He wasn't the only one hurt by you that night.
    Do you remember the night of my first high school party?You were there.My friends were intrigued by you.They treated you as if they were never going to see you again,drinking all of you that they could.I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely.Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you.
   Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons?Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car?He died the next morning too.His sister walked home from her dance lesson,and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio.She didn't realize her brother was in the middle of it all.She never saw him again.And it's all your fault.
I wish you'd walk out of my life forever.I don't want anything to do with you.Look at all the pain you've caused.Sure,you've made people happy too from time to time.But the damage you've caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable.Stop luring (引诱) in the people I love.Stop hurting me,please.
Sincerely,
Anonymous
