Teenage years can be confusing for both teenagers and parents. At about 15, many teens start thinking about how they feel about themselves and out how this matches or mismatches what others think of them. Most teens work through this by the age of 16 or 17.

Often teenagers are treated like bigger children, but they will never become and responsible if they are not allowed to make some decisions for themselves. If parents forbid their children from doing something, chances are that they will do it without permission anyway. The role of a parent must, therefore, change from that of protector and keeper to that of friend and .

Yet even the most caring parents misunderstand their children sometimes, and some think of teenagers as insecure, stubborn and .As a result, teenagers always keep their from their parents. Teens often that their parents repeat the same things over and over again and never listen to them. Parents must understand that teens need to be allowed to their side of any problem and express their point of view.

Thus, more private and level-headed communication is needed for the parents. Every parent should try to schedule time to be with their child, like taking a short trip together. This time allows parents to talk and listen without from work or other family members. It might also be good to encourage teens to important issues at dinner. Discussion time shows teens that parents are interested in them and their lives.

A person’s teenage years are a key time for them to identify their own ,like distinguishing good from evil. Handling and improving communication with teenagers is not easy, but success will be for parents and teens alike.

"A photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically with a smart phone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website" is the definition of "selfie" in the Oxford English Dictionary. In fact, it wasn't even in the dictionary until August of last year. It earned its place there because people are now so obsessed with (对……痴迷) selfies ─ we take them when we try on a new hat, play with our pets or when we meet a friend whom we haven't seen in a while.

But is there any scientific explanation for this obsession? Well, you should probably ask James Kilner, a neuroscientist(神经系统科学家) at University College London.

Through our lifetime we become experts at recognizing and interpreting other people's faces and facial expressions. In contrast, according to Kilner, we have a very poor understanding of our own faces since we have little experience of looking at them ─ we just feel them most of the time.

This has been proved in previous studies, according to the BBC.

Kilner found that most people chose the more attractive picture. This suggests that we tend to think of ourselves as better-looking than we actually are. To further test how we actually perceive our own faces, Kilner carried out another study. He showed people different versions of their own portrait ─ the original, one that had been edited to look less attractive and one that was made more attractive ─ and asked them to pick the version which they thought looked most like them. They chose the more attractive version.

But what does it say about settles? Well, isn't that obvious? Selfies give us the power to create a photograph ─ by taking it from various angles, with different poses, using filters (滤色镜) and so on ─ that better matches our expectations with our actual faces.

"You suddenly have control in a way that you don't have in non-virtual(非虚拟的) interactions," Kilner told the Canada-based CTV News. Selfies allow you "to keep taking pictures until you manage to take one you're happy with" , he explained.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A. The definition and fun of taking selfies.

B. A study of why people love taking selfies.

C. How taking selfies influences people's daily lives.

D. How to interpret people's facial expressions in their selfies.

2.The underlined word "perceive" in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by "______".

A. interpret B. beautify C. choose D. explain

3.What did Kilner discover from his researches?

A. People interpret others' facial expressions worse than their own.

B. People tend to spend more time looking at their faces than at others'.

C. People tend to believe they look more attractive than they actually are.

D. People who like taking selfies know more about their facial expressions.

4.According to Kilner, people like taking selfies probably because they think ______.

A. it is a good chance to learn more about their actual faces

B. it is a way to respond to others' facial expressions correctly

C. it enables them to interact with their friends in social media

D. it allows them to satisfy their expectations with their appearances

I am a vegetarian(素食主义者). Many people are quick to think of vegetarianism as strange behavior. I treasure our Earth, and since we only have one, we should protect it and the wildlife that lives on it. But that’s only one of the reasons to be a vegetarian.

Vegetarians may live longer, healthier lives. There is a connection between red meat consumption and various diseases. From an economic standpoint, it requires less land, money and energy to produce foods for a vegetarian diet. While there are many benefits to being a vegetarian, only a handful of those who attempt to adopt this lifestyle succeed.

The most important quality required to be a vegetarian is firmness since surrounded by the temptation of meat, we tend to give up vegetarianism easily. Creativity is almost as important as commitment. It’s easy to tire of eating nothing but salad. But with a little creativity and some soy products, almost any meal can become vegetarian-friendly.

Not everyone wants to be vegetarian. Accepting this is part of being a vegetarian with style. Forcing your beliefs on others is disrespectful. Stylish vegetarians should also be able to turn down a meaty dish politely without annoying their hosts.

Being a successful vegetarian has been easy for me, but it may not be so for others. A common mistake is quitting before your body has adjusted to the change. It can be difficult to keep the lifestyle in the beginning because of temptation. However, it fades over time. Another common mistake is quitting because you’ve been misinformed about the nutritional wisdom of being a vegetarian. That’s why it is vital to be educated. Countless people will tell you that it’s impossible to obtain the nutrients and protein(蛋白质)your body requires without meat, but they are incorrect. People actually need only 44-55 grams of protein a day, and that is easily found in a vegetarian diet. Many meat eaters are consuming three times that amount, which is not beneficial. It leads to diseases. Vegetables can also supply all the vitamins, minerals and nutrients your body needs. However, if you’re still not convinced, you can take a multi-vitamin.

1.According to the passage, being a vegetarian helps ______.

A. protect the wildlife

B. free people from diseases

C. rid people from strange behaviors

D. develop a better economy

2.What’s the underlined word temptation in Paragraph 3 closest in meaning to?

A. Unpleasant taste B. Extreme attraction

C. Great consumption D. Significant importance

3.Stylish vegetarians do not ______.

A. force others to be vegetarians

B. respect other people’s beliefs

C. turn down hosts gracefully

D. refuse an offer of meat

4.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Many people give up before their bodies can adjust to the transition.

B. Many people quit because they’re poorly educated about nutrition.

C. Consuming 150 grams protein a day can be harmful.

D. Vegetarians need multi-vitamins to keep healthy.

5.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. Reasons why the author became a vegetarian.

B. Important qualities required to be a vegetarian.

C. Advantages and disadvantages of being a vegetarian.

D. Common mistakes on the way to being a vegetarian.

Dolphins call out the specific names of loved ones when they become separated, a study finds.Other than humans, they are the only animals known to do this, according to the study.The big difference with dolphins is that these communications consist of whistles(鸣叫), not words.

Earlier research found that dolphins have a “signature whistle” that would be somewhat like human shouting, “Hey everybody! I’m an adult healthy male named George, and I mean you no harm.”

The new finding is that dolphins also say the names of certain other dolphins.“Animals produced copies of the same sound when they were separated from a close partner.This supports our belief that dolphins copy another animal’s signature whistle when they want to reunite with that animal,” Stephanie King, who led the study, says.

King and her colleagues collected acoustic(声音的)data from wild dolphins around Sarasota Bay, Florida, from 1984 to 2009.The researchers also studied four adult male dolphins housed at the Seas Aquarium, also in Florida.

Those males are adults that keepers named Calvin, Khyber, Malabar and Ranier, all of whom, as well as all of the wild ones, developed their own signature whistles that served as names in communication with other dolphins.

“A dolphin uses its signature whistle to broadcast its identity and announce its presence.The signature whistles allow animals to identify one another over long distances and allow animals to recognize one another and to join up with each other,” King explains.“Dolphin whistles can be heard up to 20km away, depending on water depth and whistle frequency(频率).”

The researchers said dolphins copy the signature whistles of loved ones, such as a mother, when the two are separated.These “names” are always used in positive situations, and are only directed toward loved ones.

While researchers are often unwilling to apply the word language to non-human communications, dolphins clearly have a very complex communication system.

1.The underlined word “housed” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_________”.

A.raised B.saved C.discovered D.hunted

2.Which of the following plays a part in whether dolphin whistles can be heard over a distance?

A.The dolphin’s identity.

B.The water temperature

C.The whistle frequency.

D.The dolphin’s age.

3.When do dolphins copy the signature whistles of loved ones?

A.When there is a fight.

B.When their keeper comes.

C.When they are apart.

D.When they are hungry.

4.Where is the passage probably taken from?

A.A magazine about scientific advances.

B.A website about various animals.

C.A report on animal acoustics.

D.An essay about the relationship between humans and animals.
