9．Something I enjoy doing most in my leisure time is going to the cinema to watch a great film．It's two hours of relaxation and escapism from real life．But when I kick back in my seat to enjoy the film and tuck into my box of popcorn，I'm often irritated by seeing someone next to me texting on their mobile phone or worse still，talking to someone．
It's no surprise that a proposal by a US cinema chain to let people use their phones during some film screenings was met with such anger，that the company had to withdraw the idea．People said it was'the worst idea ever'!Surely，going to watch the latest film is just that-watching not multi-screening．And if you're out with a friend it seems very antisocial or just rude．I certainly get distracted by the click-click on someone's mobile keyboard as they text and the glow of the bright small phone screen-why aren't they concentrating on the big screen？!
But with the availability of streaming films at home and cheap DVDs，cinemas are struggling to keep their customers．Some places now offer comfortable seats with complimentary snacks and drinks so maybe trying to attract a younger audience by allowing the use of mobile phones is the way forward？A survey in 2012found that a majority of 18-to-34-year-olds believed using social media while watching a movie would add to their experience．
However，not every young person wants to multi-task at the movies．Many of us still get annoyed by the theatre staff who appear not to do anything about it．Of course，we could ask the offenders to turn their phones off but as Adam Aron，head of AMC Entertainment，said in Variety magazine，"when you tell a 22-year-old to turn off the phone，don't ruin the movie，they hear‘please cut off your left arm above the elbow'．"Clearly this is not what I would like to see but if you want to use your mobile phone in the cinema that I'm at，please don't sit next to me!What do you think is the right thing to do？
28．The underline word"irritated"in Paragraph 1meansC．
A．terrified
B．depressed
C．annoyed
D．embarrassed
29．Which of the following is True of the US cinema chain's original advice？B
A．The advice was carried out smoothly．
B．They permitted people to use the phone．
C．The advice was very popular with people．
D．They prohibited people to use the phone．
30．What can we infer from Paragraph 3？A
A．Young people use their social media frequently．
B．The cinema needn't worry about their customers．
C．People prefer to watch films and DVD at home．
D．Sending messages is the best experience for young people．
31．What is the author's attitude towards multi-task at the movies？D
A．Sympathy．
B．Encouragement．
C．Enthusiasm．
D．Disapproval．

F．Make sure your actions match your words．

Consistency（一贯性） is one of those general features that everyone wants，but few people actually manage to gain．Don't worry!Here is some advice that will help you．
（61）F
Being consistent means that you don't say one thing while actually doing something else．You can't be inconsistent in your behavior and expect yourself to behave consistently in other parts of your life．Try to avoid saying words that you can't back up with your actions．There is no shame in admitting you don't yet know how to do something．For example，if you're tasked with something at work that you haven't done before or don't know how to do，don't pretend like you have got everything under control．Instead，ask for some help and show your willingness to learn something you don't know．
（62）B
General consistency is great，but being consistent is not easier and more likely to succeed if you set specific goals．These goals will help you behave consistently and give you something to work for．You can set a variety of goals in different areas of your life．For example，if your specific goal is to lose weight，you would need to work on being consistent with exercise，with your diet（eating healthy foods），etc．
（63）C
If you try and do everything at once all，you will be very tired．It will make it a lot harder for you to be consistent．Make gradual changes instead of jumping a big step．If you can do something for three weeks，it will become part of your routine．Pick one thing you'll work to be consistent in for a month．When that month is up，add another thing to be consistent in．
（64）D
To be consistent you have to make sure that you recognize when you don't come up to the standards and goals that you've set．And that is when you don't act consistently with your goals．On a calendar write down each day whether you succeeded or failed in following your consistency goals．If you failed，explain why you didn't follow them．This will help keep you responsible for when you don't follow your goals and will also serve as a marker of your progress．
（65）E
Everyone fails．It doesn't matter how hard you work，how intelligent you are and how prepared you are，because you aren't always going to succeed．You have to be willing to entertain that possibility and work out what to do if you don't succeed．How are you going to handle failure？Plan for your setbacks and failures．If that literary agent rejects your manuscript，find out where next to send it，or look it over to see what might be improved．

10．‘Kangaroo mothering'helps boost a child's health and intelligence
"Kangaroo mothering"，the practice of continuous skin-to-skin contact with a newborn baby，results in healthier，more intelligent and successful children，a new study finds．
A 20-year follow-up research found that those brought up in the kangaroo method scored higher in IQ tests and earned 53% more．They were also found to be less likely to have behavior problems than babies in a control group．
Followers of the method nest their kids in a"kangaroo"position on their chest as soon as possible after birth．Both mother and baby are supposed to go home as quickly as possible．
The technique is often used in cases of premature birth （早产）．In such cases，the trained mother acts as the child's main source of stimulation （刺激） and food，in the form of breast feeding．Between 1993and 1996，a group of more than 700prematurely born babies in Columbia were，on the basis of random selection，placed either away from mother or were raised using the kangaroo method．Two decades later，a follow-up survey funded by the Canadian Government has shown that those who went through the latter method benefited by comparison．
Published in the journal Paediatrics，the research shows that kangaroo mothering offered significant protection against early death，with a 3.5% death rate compared to a 7.7% rate in the control group．IQ test also showed a small but significant advantage of 3.5% compared to other infants．
Lead researcher Dr Nathalie Charpak，of the Kangaroo Foundation in Bogota，said the method has"significant，long-lasting social and behavioral protective effects"．"We firmly believe that this is a powerful，efficient，scientifically based healthcare intervention that can be used in all settings，from those with very restricted to unrestricted access to healthcare．"
The study also found that，compared with babies in the control group，those raised in the kangaroo method went on to develop bigger brains，with significantly larger volumes of gray matter．

63．According to the passage，what is"kangaroo mothering"？C
A．Mothers trying their best to improve their babies'IQs．
B．Mothers raising their babies in bags like kangaroos．
C．Mothers staying in touch with their babies early and constantly．
D．Mothers breastfeeding their babies instead of using milk powder．
64．The underlined word"infants"in Paragraph 5 probably meansA．
A．children B．kangaroos C．parents D．researchers
65．What is Dr Nathalie Charpak's attitude toward Kangaroo mothering？D
A．Sceptical．B．Neutral．C．Disapproving．D．Supportive．
66．This passage shows that Kangaroo mothering canB．
A．give children bigger heads
B．benefit children's brain growth
C．reduce the number of premature births
D．solve school children's behavioral problems．

11．A new study published in the Journal of Marriage and Family claims that all that time you spend parenting just doesn't matter．But it's a claim that，despite the enthusiastic and widespread coverage by the media，does not hold water．
The research suggests that child outcomes （including behavior problems，emotional problems，and academic performance） are barely connected with the time that parents spend with their children．The researchers examined the time diaries of 1，600 children，looking at parenting time and outcomes when the kids were aged 3 to 11 in 1997，and again in 2002，when they were between 8 and 16．
This research largely reflects the failure of the authors to correctly measure parental input （投入）．It just looked at time diaries from two particular days-one a weekday and the other a weekend day．
Trying to get a sense of the time you spend parenting from a single day's diary is a bit like trying to measure your income from a single day．If yesterday was payday，you looked rich，but if it's not，you would be reported as poor．You get a clearer picture only by looking at your income-or your parenting time-over a more meaningful period．
What you did yesterday should not be taken as representative of what you did last year．This is why most high-quality studies of parenting time focus instead on how often parents read to their children，play with them or help them with homework over a period of a month or longer-long enough to represent their different approaches to parenting．
As an exhausted parent who doesn't get enough time to work out，and who hasn't seen a movie for months，I understand why so many of us might seize on studies suggesting that we should take more time for ourselves．Perhaps we should．But I agree with Ariel Kalil，a developmental psychologist，on the suggestion"that when parents spend high-quality time with their children，their children are more likely to succeed．"

32．What do the underlined words"hold water"in the first paragraph probably mean？A
A．To be valid．
B．To be surprising．
C．To be confusing．
D．To be usual．
33．What's the purpose of conducting the study？A
A．To explore the link between parenting time and child outcomes
B．To explore the link between time diaries and child development．
C．To explore the link between children's habits and parents'influence．
D．To explore the link between daily activities and children's problems，
34．How is Paragraph 4 mainly developed？C
A．By giving descriptions．
B．By analyzing the cause．
C．By making a comparison，
D．By offering research findings．
35．The author may agree that high-quality-studies of parenting time shouldD．
A．be completed in one month
B．adopt some different approaches
C．concentrate mainly on learning time
D．be based on data of a longer time period．
