The good news: Your son or daughter has graduated from college. The potentially bad news: Due to job losses, the pressure of student loan debt or some other factors, he/she has to return home, living with you.

A recent survey has found that almost one-in-five grown children (aged 18-34) now live with their parents. And of those children, about one-third say they used to live independently elsewhere before returning home. The phenomenon has become known as “The Boomerang Generation”(回巢族).

Don’t worry. From a positive angle, you may find you can actually do a lot to keep harmony in the household and make this tricky time manageable, even beneficial for all involved. When your child comes back, he/she can be a source of social support. He/She can help out economically. And you really get a chance to establish a different relationship—as adults.

It’s important to know how long this kind of situation will last. This can be discussed with your family members, but it’s essential that everyone understands the arrangement. It’s also important to set a goal for your graduated child to help him/her find a suitable job.

Everyone should keep the household rules. College kids are used to doing what they want. So let your child know your expectations for household chores, overnight guests, noise and so on. You can list something that you can never accept.

It is absolutely OK for parents to charge rent(房租). If a grown child is able to pay rent, he/she should be asked to pay some. This can also include electricity, water or other benefits he/she is enjoying. If you feel it uncomfortable to take money from your child, you can collect rent money and return it to him/ her when he/she leaves, to help him/her in his/her new home.

Avoid falling into traditional parent-child roles. This is difficult, but parents should not do traditional things such as lending your grown child money or doing his/her laundry or cleaning any more. Your child has grown up; he/she is no longer a teenager.

At last, parents should not get overly involved in your child’s lives and personal relationships. Parents need to respect your child’s growing independence. Creating a dictatorship (独裁) doesn’t help him/ her grow as a self-reliant individual.

A new study found that inner-city kids living in neighborhoods with more green space gained about 13% less weight over a two-year period than kids living among more concrete and fewer trees. Such findings tell a powerful story. The obesity epidemic(肥胖症的流行)began in the 1980s, and many people think it results from increased portion(食物) sizes and inactivity , but that can't be everything. Big Macs and TVs have been with us for a long time. "Most experts agree that the changes were related to something in the environment," says Thomas Glass of the Hopkins School of Public Health. That something could be a shrinking of the green.

The new research, published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, isn't the first to associate greenery with better health, but it does get us closer to identifying what works and why. At its most straightforward, a green neighborhood simply means more places for kids to play — which is important since time spent outdoors is one of the strongest links to children's activity levels.

Glass warns that most studies don't necessarily prove a link between greenness and health, but they're helping spur action. In September the U.S. government approved the No Child Left Inside Act to encourage public initiatives (积极性)aimed at exposing kids to the outdoors.

Finding green space is, of course, not always easy, and you may have to work a bit to get your family a little grass and trees. If you live in a suburb or a city with good parks, take advantage of what's there. Your children in particular will love it — and their bodies will thank you.

1.According to the passage, what might cause children’s inactivity?

A. Less concrete and more trees

B. Increased portion sizes

C. A green neighborhood

D. A shrinking of the green

2.According to the passage, which of the following statements is wrong?

A. Big Macs and TVs have something to do with obesity.

B. If a 100-pound man lives in green space for 2 years, he will lose 13 pounds.

C. Kids should be exposed more to outdoors.

D. Kids gain less weight living in a suburb or a city with good parks.

3.What does the underlined word “spur” in the fourth paragraph mean?

A. improve B. take

C. encourage D. stop

4.What might be the best title of the passage?

A. The obesity epidemic B. Slimmer in the grass

C. Causes of obesity D. Prevention of obesity

 

Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems.While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves.University of Missouri(MU) researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.

“To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density(密度)”,said Jae Kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU.“The radioisotope(放射性同位素) battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries.”

Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, presently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro / nanoelectromechanical systems (M/NEMS).Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said they are safe.

“People hear the word ‘nuclear’ and think of something very dangerous,” he said, “However, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems.”

His new idea is not only in the battery’s size, but also in its semiconductor(半导体).Kwon’s battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.

“The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure(晶体结构) of the solid semiconductor,” Kwon said, “By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem.”

Together with J.David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery.In the future, they hope to increase the battery’s power, shrink its size and try with various other materials.Kwon said that battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.

1.Jae Kwon gave examples in Paragraph 4_________.

A.to show chemical batteries are widely applied.

B.to introduce nuclear batteries can be safely used.

C.to describe a nuclear-powered system.

D.to introduce various energy sources.

2.According to Jae Kwon, his nuclear battery _______.

A.uses a solid semiconductor

B.will soon replace the present ones.

C.could be extremely thin

D.has passed the final test.

3.The text is most probably a ________.

A.science news report B.book review

C.newspaper ad D.science fiction

There is a story telling of a religious master who is said to be capable of moving mountains. A man came to him asking for a demonstration. The master sat in front of a mountain for a moment, then went to the other said of it and declared the end of the demonstration. All the audiences were greatly puzzled and begged him for an explanation. He said, “There has never been a way of moving mountains; what you can do is to go to the mountain if it doesn’t come.”

One of my friends, though with the makings of a merchant, was bent on being a painter. He resigned from office and devoted himself entirely to painting at home. Several years, however, saw no progress in this regard.

A painful retrospection bought him to his senses. He made up his mind to take up business in place of painting. It took him only a few years to become a rich businessman. Meanwhile he spent his spare time exchanging experience and skills in painting and calligraphy. His works finally won acclamation by expert painters and were on sale in art gallery and grand hotels. He had his collections published and his dream of becoming a painter came true at last.
