【题目】 Since the time of Socrates, it has been widely said that art imitates life. In the case of literature, however, it would be more accurate to say that art reflects life. The writings of the Romantics were a natural result of life in 19th century America and American Romanticism was the first truly American literary movement, including a group of authors who wrote and published between 1820 and 1860.

The unique American history and landscape had a profound influence on the romanticists. Many were writing not long after the War of 1812. This was a time of growth and expansion and their idealism fueled high hopes for the infant nation. The country was moving westward into vast newly acquired territory. The frontier, both as a place and a concept, became an important representation of the American spirit.

While American Romanticism was a new attitude toward nature, it was also a new attitude toward people, promoting the solitary individual standing against society. Individualism is a typical American value and was central to their writings, which urged people to follow their inner knowing regardless of the pressure to conform.

Romantic writers rebelled against the idea that reason was the best tool for discovering truth. Instead, they deliberately explored feeling, imagination, fantasy, and belief. Their style took advantage of personal freedom in order to break through the wall separating the author and the reader, and gave the author the freedom to comment on the events in the story in novel ways.

Stylistically, the American romantics liked to experiment with form and the novel became an important vehicle for expression, unlike the European romantics who focused mainly on poetry. They also made clever use of symbols to refer to truths or knowledge that exist beyond rationality (合理性).

1What increased hopes for the newly born America?

A.The War of 1812.B.The belief of romanticists.

C.The western territory.D.The history of America.

2Which of the following is an ideal of American romantic writers?

A.Reason should be involved to find out truth.B.The author and the reader need to be separated.

C.Individuals should follow their heart.D.Nature is more important than humans.

3What literary form did American romantics mainly adopt to express their ideas?

A.Poetry.B.Use of symbols.C.Novels.D.Drama.

4What is the passage mainly about?

A.Advances in American history.B.The rebellion of Romantic writers.

C.A new attitude to people.D.Romanticism in American literature.

【题目】Five tips for emotional training

Training your children on their emotions(情绪) is the work of those adults who want to nurture(培养) emotional health. I can also say that the best emotional trainings do certain things, which I list as my 'Top Five' pointers, and here they are:

Connect

Be able to see the situation from your children’s perspective(视角). 1. They'll feel you're on their side and you want to understand. Speaking angrily is a sign of disconnection.

2

The calmer we can stay, the better chance our children have of learning how to calm themselves. Of course, there are moments when being calm feels out of the question, which is why learning how to stay calm and centered during an emotional storm is a good practice.

Listen fully

Being able to honestly hear what a child is saying can be important. 3. You are there for them. Even saying 'I'm here for you' can help greatly.

4

Children make mistakes when emotionally triggered(被触发)-like we all do, especially early on in our development. But the best emotional trainings focus on solving the 'emotional problem' rather than just punishment for a not-so-smart choice.

Learn together

5. We may be learning patience and forgiveness, while our children may be learning how to skillfully handle their big emotions like anger or sadness.

Children are impressionable. I remember being a young child and having a 'flashbulb moment(闪光瞬间) ' when someone said something that changed my mind. I remember everything about that moment for better or worse. So, our aim is to give our children positive flashbulb moments.

A. Be a calming presence

B. Make effective punishment

C. Focus on problem-solving not punishment

D. You can pretend to agree whatever they say

E. This doesn't mean you totally agree, but you hear them

F. We’re always learning alongside our children

G. Putting yourself in their shoes helps build a stronger connection

【题目】

This month Angelina Horsefield writes about an animal rescue (援救) society in Australia: WIRES

WIRES Wildlife Information and Rescue Service began in 1985 when someone found an injured bird in a park in Sydney, Australia. At the time, no one knew how to help this “native” animal. WIRES help animals like snakes, kangaroos and, of course, birds. However, they can only help Australian wildlife, so they can’t help other animals like cats or rabbits.

Like other animal rescue groups, WIRES need more people. I believe they are helping the local animals, but they can only continue if others join in. They hold excellent courses, where people can learn what to do when they find an injured animal. They also explain what happens to the animals in their care. Many of the people who help also lake care of the animals themselves in their own gardens or on their farms.

I spoke to 15-year-old Guy McKenzie, whose dad helps WIRES in his free time. Guy told me about the work they do. “Dad usually gets a phone call at home and drives immediately to where the animal is, to rescue it. He has special equipment and always wears gloves. The animals are wild, after all.”

Guy also talked about a woman who found a bat in her garden. She thought it might be dead but then she noticed that there was a baby bat too. Guy’s dad brought it back to the centre, where it grew into a healthy adult. Then, WIRES returned it to nature. Guy showed me a baby kangaroo that his dad was looking after and told me that one day he’ll be doing the same thing. Yes, he will, for sure.

1WIRES aim at helping ________.

A.pet animalsB.wildlife animals

C.small animalsD.farm animals

2Guy’s dad is an example to show ________.

A.who started WIRESB.how one helps WIRES

C.why people join WIRESD.how WIRES study animals

3What does Guy hope to do in the future?

A.Live in nature.B.Take care of his dad.

C.Study bats.D.Work for WIRES.

4The author writes the passage in order to ________.

A.describe a course on animalsB.introduce an animal scientist

C.call on people to join the rescue groupD.give advice on keeping pets
