My parents are amazing. I had the most wonderful childhood, and it’s not because I had everything I wanted or because I was a cool kid. I have learned a lot about parenting from what my parents did. Here are a few gems (珍宝) that I use now or plan to use in the future with my two boys.

Here’s how a conversation often went when I was a kid. Usually it was around 4:30 p.m. I said, “I’m hungry. Can I have a cookie?” My mom answered, “No. Have a banana.” “I don’t want a banana.” “Then you’re not hungry.” Sometimes I was angry about it, but I knew that was good for me. Thanks mom for not letting me eat junk food (垃圾食品). Now I agree with my mother and I have this same conversation with my three-year-old son. I hope it helps him form healthy diet habits.

I know many of us heard this as children. “If everyone jumped off a bridge, would you do it, too?” If our kids asked for something just because everyone else had it or was doing it, we often got this response. It was the perfect response, and we soon learned not to ask for things because everyone else had it, but because it was something we wanted.

I will always be thankful that my parents let us try the things that interested us, not the things they wanted to push us into. This helped me try swimming, dance, and the piano before second grade. I found a love — singing — and kept up with that through my college years. It drives me crazy, as a mom and teacher, when I see kids who are pushed into their parents’ favorite activities, even when they don’t have a passion for them.

1.What are the gems in the writer’s mind?

A. Her parents’ knowledge.

B. Her parents’ educational methods.

C. Her parents’ love.

2. Why does the writer mention the conversation with her mother in Paragraph 2?

A. To show her mother was so strict with her.

B. To stress the importance of healthy diet habits.

C. To show her mother was not concerned about her.

D. To show how her mother helped her develop healthy diet habits.

3.The response from the writer’s parents in Paragraph 3 is mainly used to .

A. refuse their kid’s same request

B. meet their kid’s right request

C. tell their kid not to be in danger

D. tell the good from the bad

4.Which of the following may be supported by the writer?

A. The children must do what their parents want them to.

B. The children can do anything that they want to.

C. The children must do what is useful to society.

D. The children can try the things that interest them.

Enough ＂meaningless drivel＂. That’s the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data.

The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee’s report, released last week, has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark (认证标记) to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions.

＂The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to anyone,＂ says Andrew Miller, the chair of the committee. Instead, he says, firms should provide a plain-English version of their terms. The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original.

It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme, but the UK government is looking at introducing it on a voluntary basis. ＂we need to think through how we make that work in practice,＂ says Miller.

Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark? ＂I think if you went and did the survey, people would like to think they would,＂ says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton, UK, who studies open data. ＂We do know people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their information.＂ But what would happen in practice is another matter, he says.

Other organisations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand, but Miller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new. ＂We still don’t know how significant the long-term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20 years’ time,＂ he says.

Shadbolt, who gave evidence to the committee, says the problem is that we don’t know how companies will use our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving. Large collections of personal information have become valuable only recently, he says.

The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don’t expect, even if users have apparently permission, show that the current situation isn’t working. If properly administered, a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to. Although they would still have to actually read them.

1. What does the phrase ＂ meaningless drivel＂ in paragraphs 1 and 3 refer to?

A. Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to.

B. Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites.

C. Guidelines on how to use social media websites properly.

D. Insignificant data collected by social media firms.

2. It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether _______.

A. social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark scheme

B. people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they think

C. a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scale

D. the kitemark would help companies develop their business models

3. Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because _______.

A. their users consist largely of kids under 20 years old

B. the language in their contracts is usually harder to understand

C. the information they collected could become more valuable in future

D. it remains unknown how users’ data will be taken advantage of

4. The writer advises users of social media to _______.

A. think carefully before posting anything onto such websites

B. read the terms and conditions even if there is a kitemark

C. take no further action if they can find a kitemark

D. avoid providing too much personal information

5. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

A. Say no to social media?

B. New security rules in operation?

C. Accept without reading?

D. Administration matters!

My brother used to ask me question whenever he did his homework, that made me annoyed. But every time he accepted my explanations I feel that I was the smartest person in the world. Answered his questions, I always liked to say that he was so stupid to solve such simple problems.

Last week both of them got the report cards from our school. Unexpectedly, I got a lot of Bs, though he got As. To make things worse, all that day my brother screamed how foolish it was for me not to ask questions! I could say nothing but admit that he was right. I have never made a fun of him since then.

I was in a terrible mood. Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn’t invited me. I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in.

“Want to go for a ride, today, Beck? It’s a beautiful day.”

“No! Leave me alone!” Those were the last words I said to him that morning. My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later. I forgot to be mad at them and when I came home to find a note on the table. My mother put it where I would be sure to see it.

“Dad has had an accident. Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital”.

When I reached the hospital, my mother came out and told me my father’s injuries were extensive. “Your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911, thank God! If he had moved Daddy, there’s no telling what might have happened. A broken rib（肋骨）might have pierced（穿透）a lung...”

My mother may have said more, but I didn’t hear. I didn’t hear anything except those terrible words: Leave me alone. My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more. How much had I hurt him when I hurled those words at him earlier in the day?

It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation. I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him.

“Daddy… I am so sorry…”

“It’s okay, sweetheart. I’ll be okay. ”

“No,” I said, “I mean about what I said to you that day. You know, that morning?”

My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly. He looked at me and said. “Sweetheart, I don’t remember anything about that day, not before, during or after the accident. But I remember kissing you goodnight the night before. ”He managed a weak smile.

My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power. They can hurt or they can heal. And we all have the power to choose our words. I intend to do that very carefully from now on.

A. he couldn’t drive to the mall with his friends

A. Because he was rude to his father that morning.

B. Because he didn’t get along with his father.

C. Because he failed to come earlier after the accident.

D. Because he couldn’t look after his father in the hospital.

3.The reason why the author’s father said he forgot everything about that day is that _____

A. he had a poor memory

B. he didn’t hear what his son said

C. he lost his memory after the accident

D. he just wanted to comfort his son

A. Don’t hurt others with rude words.

B. Don’t treat your parents badly.

C. Don’t move the injured in an accident.

D. Don’t be angry with friends at small things.

How to Be a Good Friend

A good friend, who wouldn’t want one? Ever felt like yours just not good enough but don’t know where to improve?__ 1.___ I used to annoy a lot of my friends before, just for the sake of having fun and from that, I’ve learned how to be a good friend, and stay as a good friend.

Listen.

No one likes being interrupted when they’re talking. So, when someone talks, keep yourself quiet and listen to them, especially if they’re feeling down, you need to be the shoulder for them to cry on. If you have any comment to make, be sure that you word it in a way where you don’t sound too negative.___ 2.__ When you just don't share the same interest or you’re not in the mood to listen to them, politely let them know and ask them to understand.

Always smile.

__3.__ The least you can do is, whenever you see your friends, smile and say hello. That way, if they had a bad day, you can make them feel better with your smile along with your ear, and maybe, you can share something funny to cheer them up.

Don’t ever lie.

Everyone would hate being lied to, especially if it’s by your own friend, so don't lie! It might seem alright to lie occasionally, but once you lose your friend’s trust, you may lose them forever. ___4.____

Keep secrets.

Make sure you can keep a secret. If not, tell your friends straight away you cannot help yourself when it comes to secrets. Otherwise, when you let them tell you about their secrets and you “accidentally” share it with someone else, you’ll have your friends hating you for the rest of your life. __5.____ Secrets are not meant to be shared, so don’t even try.

A.Everyone has their bad days, and it’s unavoidable.

B.And that is something you surely do not want to happen.

C.They’ll probably call you “big mouth”.

D.A few people seem upset at you for being so direct.

E.Otherwise, they may just take it as you are trying to put them down.

F.This same thing happened to a good friend of mine.

G.Well, you’ve come to the right place.
