12.Getting your teen to think beyond his own immediate needs can be more difficult than cracking a nut with a plastic fork.But don't worry.It's not impossible.There are many ways to encourage your teen to care about those outside his immediate circle of friends.As he begins to have responsibility towards others,he will realize he feels even better about himself.
"Teens are thinking about career,college,and what their future might look like,"explains Michelle Midenberg,a clinical director of Westchester Group Works,a center for group treatment in New York."This is very challenging and just one of the reasons why they are so focused on their own world."Once teens participate h community service,howeer,they begin to look beyond their personal needs.They also learn firsthand about the challenges others face,and they experience a sense of authority as they realize they can make a real difference in others'lives.
Not sure how to convince a teen to get away from the cell phone and into a community project?Teens buy into community service when the project or program is in an area of their interest.
"Finding something in an are of interest for them keeps them motivated and inspired,"Maidenberg says.For instance,if he is interested in culinary (烹饪) school,he could volunteer in a soup kitchen or bake for a project that supports families in need.Volunteer projects in your teen's area of interest will build her knowledge base as well as help others.
Parents can do their part by participating in community service themselves.Teens can learn directly from their parents that personal enjoyment is not,all tha matters.
Let teens know the benefits they will obtain."Give them every reason in the world to volunteer,"Maidenberg advises.She says that working on community service projects builds confidence."By working with others,teens improve managerial,interpersonal and communication skills.Community service helps to approach maturity when they take a step back to see the needs of other people,"she adds.Another reward:service hours look great on a resume!

64.According to Michelle Maidenberg,it's hard to get teens to think beyond their own immediate needs partly becauseD.
A.they care more about their circle of friends
B.they have no interest in doing anything
C.they have to work hard for college
D.they are facing many challenges
65.The underlined phrase"buy into"in Paragraph 3probably meansA.
A.agree to join in    B.spend money on  C.get away from     D.are interested in
66.The writer mntions the benefits in the last paragraph in order toC.
A.make teens feel much better about themselves
B.encourage teens to care about his own needs
C.help parents reason teens into volunteering
D.get parents to do more community service.

分析 让你的孩子摆脱眼前利益的桎梏而去做长远考虑无异于和用塑料叉子去砸开一个核桃一样困难.但是不用担心,这并不是毫无可能的.
有很多方法让你的孩子去做到不只是关心他们自己狭窄的朋友圈.当他对其他人感到负有责任的时候,他将会意识到他对自己的感觉会更好.
"孩子们思考着事业,学业,和他们未来可能会怎样,"Westchester Group Works的临床主任 Michelle Maidenberg解释说.Westchester Group Works是纽约的一个群体治疗的中心.
"要解决这一点非常难,而且这是孩子们太过专注自己世界的原因之一."然而一旦孩子们参加到社/会服务事业中去,他们就会开始从高于自身利益着眼.
他们也同时会直接了解到其他人所面临的困难和挑战;当他们能为别人的生命做出贡献的时候
他们会体验到一种权威的意识.
不知道怎样使孩子离开电话粥而投身入社/会事业?孩子们会对社/会事业买账,如果他们发现他们对这项社/会事业的领域感兴趣的话.
"寻找到一个能激励打动孩子们的一个领域,"Maidenberg说.比如,如果孩子对烹饪学校感兴趣,他就会自愿参加例如流动厨房或者为困难家庭做饭这样的项目.
志愿参加这些孩子们感兴趣的项目不仅可以帮助他人,还可以帮助孩子们增长知识.
父母们也能在参与社/会服务的项目中助一臂之力.因为孩子们是从父母那里直接学习到,个人的快乐并不是最重要的.
让孩子们知道他们将会获得的收益."给他们参与志愿活动的充分理由."Maidenberg建议说.
她说,在社会服务项目工作同时帮助建立自信."通过与他人合作,孩子们提高自己管理,人际和交流的技能.当孩子们迈出了这一步,看到他人的需要,社会服务帮助他们日渐成熟."她补充说,另一个好处是:社区服务时间会对孩子们的简历有很大的帮助!

解答 64-66 DAC
64.D  细节题.由第二段第二句"This is very challenging and just one of the reasons why they are so focused on their own world."可知说明部分原因是他们要面对许多挑战,正确答案为D.
65.A  推断题.由文章第二段倒数第二句"Once teens participate h community service,however,they begin to look beyond their personal needs."可知作者鼓励青少年参加社区服务,由此推断划线词所在句"Teens buy into community service when the project or program is in an area of their interest."意为"当这项工作或计划属于他们感兴趣的领域时,青少年就会投身社区服务",所以 buy into 意为"参与,投身于",故正确答案为A.
66.C  细节理解 由最后一段第二句"Give them every reason in the world to volunteer."可知作者列举志愿服务的好处是为了说服青少参与志愿服务,故正确答案为C.

点评 本文考查细节题为主,细节题可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息或是其变体.搜查信息在阅读中非常重要它包括理解作者在叙述某事时使用的具体事实、数据、图表等细节信息.在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都属于这类围绕主体展开的细节.做这类题一般采用寻读法即先读题,然后带着问题快速阅读短文,找出与问题有关的词语或句子,再对相关部分进行分析对比,找出答案.

3."Ten years ago I could never have imagined I'd be doing this,"says Greg Pal,33,a former software executive."I mean,this is essentially agriculture,right?But the people I talk to,especially the ones coming out of business school,think this is the one hot area everyone wants to get into."
He means bugs.To be more accurate,the genetic(基因的) change of bugs---very,very small ones---so that when they feed on agricultural waste such as woodchip or wheat straw,they do something extraordinary.They excrete (排泄) crude oil.
Unbelievably,this is not science fiction.Mr.Pal holds up a small cup of bug excretion that could,in theory,be poured into the tank of the big Lexus SUX next to us.Not that Mr.Pal was willing to risk it just yet.He gives it a month before the first vehicle is filled up with what he calls"renewable petroleum".After that,he smiles,"It's a brave new world."
Mr.Pal is a senior director of LS9,one of several companies in or near Silicon Valley.The company is not interested in using corn as material,given the much-advertised problems created by using food crops for fuel.Instead,different types of agricultural waste will be used according to whatever makes sense for the local climate and economy:wheat straw in California,for example,or woodchip in the south.
Are Americans ready to be putting genetically changed bug excretion in their cars?"It's not the same as with food,"Mr.Pal say."We are putting these bacteria in a very isolated container.Their entire universe is in that tank.When we've done with them.they are destroyed."
"Besides",he says,"there is greater good being served.""I have two children,and climate change is something that they are going to face.The energy crisis is something that they are going to face.We have a collective responsibility to do this."

4.The engineer Camillo Olivetti was 40 years old when he started the company in 1908.At his factory in Ivera,he designed and produced the first Italian typewriter.Today the company's head office is still in Ivrea,near Turin,but the company is much larger than it was in those days and there are offices all around the world.
By 1930 there was a staff of 700 and the company turned out 13,000 machines a year.Some went to customers in Italy,but Olivetti exported more typewriters to other countries.
Camilllo's son,Adriano,started working for the company in 1924 and later he became the boss.He introduecd a standard speed for the production line and he employed technology and design specialists.The company developed new and better typewriters and the calculators(计算器).In 1959 it produced the ELLA computer system.This was the first mainframe(主机)computer designed and traded in Italy.
