11．Going shopping seems easy，but actually it takes a lot of learning，especially in America．In fact，many Americans who are not so well-off often shop at"sales"or at special stores that sell things at low prices，which you may find interesting．In America，the important rule of dressing is that one should change his or her clothes every day．For example，in an American college，neither professors nor students are seen in the same clothes two days in a row．So you may find it necessary to buy more clothes than you have in China．While you are shopping in the States，you will discover that prices range considerably from time to time．The purchase of used，second-hand clothing，furniture，or other household articles may be an excellent way of saving money．Most second-hand clothes are of pretty good quality．If you are going to settle down in the States and want some furniture，you may go to a "loan closet"，where furniture rents at low cost，or you may also go to a"furniture exchange"place in the community．
  Sheets，blankets，and other bedclothes go on sale in most communities twice a year．Advertisements for"white sales"on bed linen，towels，etc．，often appear in January，as well as in May，June or July．Once or twice every season，there will be"garage sales"，where you can get almost anything，from a yacht to a pair of shoes，at low prices．Prices at"discount stores"and"thrift shops"are also as low as you can imagine．
  When shopping for food，you should look for special prices for various items that are put on sale weekly．To economize，it would be a good idea for you to plan the weekly menu according to what is on sale，including in it the meats，vegetables，fruits，etc．that can be bought at special prices that week．
Exchange and return policies vary from store to store．You should also keep in mind that exchange and return policies for sales items can be different from standard store policies，especially if the price of the items has been reduced．Ask the merchant about their exchange and return policies before making your purchase．Obtaining an exchange or a return without a store receipt is often difficult．So，to save yourself the headache，you'd better hold on to any paper or other proof of purchase．

16．A good teacher is many things to many people．In my own experience，the people I respect the most and think about the most are the teachers who demanded the most discipline （纪律） from their students．
I miss one teacher in particular that I had in high school．I think she was a good teacher because she was a very strict person．I remember very clearly a sign on her classroom door．It was a simple sign that said，"Laboratory：in this room the first five letters of the word was stressed not the last seven．"In other words，labor for her was more important than oratory，which means making speeches．
She prepared her work very carefully and told us to do the same．We got lots of homework from her．Once she had broken her arm，and everybody in the class thought that maybe the homework load would be reduced，but it continued just the same．She checked our work by stamping her name at the bottom of the papers to show that she had read them．
I think sometimes teachers who demand the most are liked the least．But as time goes by，this discipline really seems to benefit the students．

51．Which of the following is considered a good teacher by the writer？C
A．A patient teacher．
B．An honest teacher．
C．A strict teacher．
D．An easy-going teacher．
52．The teacher put up the sign on her classroom door．D
A．to remind the students that this room was a laboratory
B．to advise the students to follow the disciplines
C．to warn the students not to be careless
D．to tell the students to work hard in the classroom
53．When the teacher's arm was broken，sheA．
A．gave her students the usual amount of homework
B．gave her students less homework
C．asked her students to check the homework themselves
D．gave her students more homework
54．What's the writer's opinion of disciplineB？
A．It makes the students dislike their teachers．
B．It does good to the students in the long run．
C．It's too much for young children．
D．It does more harm than good to the students．

3．Parents often think that time spent with their kids will gradually decrease in adolescence．But a new study suggests that while teens try to avoid spending a lot of time together with their parents，private parent-child meetings may actually increase in their early adolescent years．And that may raise a teenager's self-esteem （自尊） and social confidence，especially if it is the time that spent with Dad，the researchers added．The researchers created a long-term study in which they invited families in 16school districts in central Pennsylvania to participate．In each family，a teenager，a younger sibling （兄弟姐妹），their mother and their father were interviewed at home and then asked about their activities and self-worth five times over a period of seven years．
The study authors were surprised to discover that when fathers spent more time alone with their teenagers，the kids reported they felt better about themselves．Something about the father's role in the family seemed to improve self-esteem among the teenagers in the study，said study co-author Susan McHale，a professor of human development at Pennsylvania State University．
"Time with Dad often involves joking，teasing，and other playful interactions．Fathers，compared to mothers，were more involved in leisure activities and had more peer-like interactions with their children，which is crucial for youth social development，"the study showed．But Marta Flaum，a psychologist in Chappaqua，New York，said，"How these findings reflect the real world is a real question．The sample in the study is so small and so unrepresentative of most families in the country today that I'm not sure how much we can generalize from it．In my community in Westchester County，I don't see parents and teenagers spend much time together at all．Parents are often working so hard and have less time to be together with their kids．"
However，Flaum encourages parents to make time for their kids no matter how much work they have to do．"Research like this reminds us of how important it is．The time we have with them is so short，"she said．

28．According to the study，when teenagers spend more time alone with their fathers，A．
A．their social skills will be improved
B．their fathers will better understand them
C．they will be willing to help their siblings
D．their family members will spend more time together
29．What is Flaum'attitude towards the findings of the study？C
A．Unconcerned       B．Favorable．C．Doubtful．D．Puzzled．
30．What does the underlined word"it"in the last paragraph refer to？D
A．The research by Susan McHale．
B．The work to be done．
C．Parents'encouragement．
D．The time parents spending together with their kids．
31．Where is the passage most likely to be taken from？B
A．Science magazine．B．A news report．C．A research plan．D．An advertisement．
