   Oh,you’ve been there: Your parents are insisting you come home by 10 ,when everyone else can stay out until midnight. Your soccer coach keeps benching you. 36 We all have days when we think we might explode.

   That's because anger is 101 percent normal — in fact,it ,s rooted in the most primitive of survival mechanisms(机制) . 37 But humans,highly evolved (进化的) brains attach similar meaning to things that aren't life-threatening but produce an equally intense response.

   Of course,no one ever got into trouble for having angry thoughts. 38 Think about it: Scream at your parents? Grounded. Eye-roll at your teacher? Sent to detention(课后留校的惩罚) .So consider the following survival guide to making it through those moments when you're about to explode.

   First,recognize your anger response. When you’ re angry,your whole body reacts,and your angry feelings can go from zero to out-of-control before they even register in your brain!That's why it's important to pay attenjion to physical signals. 39 

   Second,pause the passion. It can be impossible to make right decisions when you re angry. So once you ve recognized that you re mad,stop whatever you’ re doing,which will stop your body's anger response and get your brain back on track. Try one of these simple,science-backed methods to freeze your feelings and calm your mind. For example,you can take deep breaths,or close your eyes and count (to 10,to 100 ... whatever it takes!) . 40  

   Once the heat of the moment is behind you,you may be able to move right on.

   A. You’ re angry,and who wouldn't be?

   B. People sometimes lose control and get violent.

   C. A simple “Hey man,not cool” would probably do the trick.

   D. Or shift your focus to something pleasant to lift your spirits.

   E. It is what you do about your anger that makes all the difference.

   F. When an animal is threatened,it feels anger as a signal to fight to stay alive.

   G. Learn to recognize them on the spot and you'11 be able to keep your anger in check.

   Parents who help their kids with homework might feel disappointed after knowing what two researchers Angel L. Harris and Keith Robinson have found.

   “We need to do away with the assumption that anything parents do will help. That assumes that parents have all the answers,but actually they don't,” Harris said.

   “We found that when parents from various racial and socioeconomic groups regularly helped their child with homework,in most cases,it made no difference for the child's improvement in their test scores in reading,math,and their grades ,” Robinson said.

   Could the findings simply reflect the fact that kids struggling with school ask for more homework help,thus making it look as though children who get more help do worse? No,Harris said,because the researchers measured the change in achievement among all kids,including those who performed well in school. The effect of parental homework involvement was the same across the board.

   “Parents tend to hold the reins when it comes to how they’ re going to help with homework without consulting the child,” Robinson noted. “So maybe parents could ask kids, ‘Is what I'm doing helping you? How would you want me to help? ’ In this way,kids may benefit more from parents’ help."

   Vicki Davis,a high school teacher,said she's seen her share of parents doing the assignments for their kids,especially writing papers,or taking charge of important and big projects. Davis expects elementary school students to get help from parents because they're still learning study skills,and she doesn’t mind if older students talk “big picture” with their families about a project. But in general,parents should limit their involvement in making sure kids are completing their homework,she advised.

   Kerry Lyons,a mother of five in Irvington,N.Y., said the research findings are a “huge relief." Lyons works full time,so when she gets home,her kids — three kindergartners,one second-grader and one fourth-grader 一 are usually done with homework.

29. It was found that parental homework involvement generally.

   A. has a poor effect

   B. has a lasting effect

   C. has a negative effect

   D. has a significant effect

30. The underlined part “hold the reins” in Paragraph 5 can best be replaced by “”.

   A. show up   B. get ready

   C. watch out   D. take control

31. Who does Vicki Davis want parents to help with homework?

   A. High school students.

   B. Primary school students.

   C. Students who are writing papers.

   D. Students who perform poorly in school.

32. How did Kerry Lyons find the research findings?

   A. Exciting. B. Surprising.

   C. Comforting. D. Disappointing.

   When I was growing up,our family often started a jigsaw puzzle(拼图游戏) in the evening. Everyone would go to bed,but I wouldn’t. I cannot leave a puzzle unfinished. I would just keep going,and finish it at five in the morning. When everyone got up in the morning,too bad — the puzzle was done.

   In eighth grade,I decided to be a professional puzzle maker. However,I attended law school eventually. The spring of my first year in law school,I wrote my parents that I'd be dropping out to work on puzzles. My mom wrote back a very thoughtful .letter saying, “This is a terrible idea ,” and listing all the reasons why. I thought her reasoning was good,so I did get my law degree.

   I have worked as a crossword(纵横字谜) editor since 1993 and invented hundreds of varieties of puzzles. I get 75 to 100 crossword submissions (投稿) a week. Every puzzle has to be looked at and responded to: yes or no. Usually,I write some comments on the puzzle. On average,about half the clues in the puzzles are mine. The most important thing for my work is accuracy,so I check anything that I'm not 100% sure of. I also edit for the proper level of difficulty,freshness,color,and just a sense of fun. After the puzzles are edited,they are typeset (排版) and sent to four test solvers.

   In our daily life,we’ re faced with various problems. We do the best we can,but we never know if we’ve got the best solution. The great thing about a human-made puzzle is when we? re done,we know we have achieved perfection. We don't get that feeling much in everyday life.

   I enjoy everything I do. I'11 never get tired of doing this.

   Many teachers use student participation as a basis on which to assign grades. Some criticize the practice as harmful to classroom dynamics,like two California high schoolers who wrote an opinion piece about it in their school newspaper. “A student who is unwilling or unable to speak in class does not always show a lack of care,since all students function in different ways,” they write,noting that some students require more time,or written assignments,to grasp new material presented in class.

   They also point out the detrimental effect participation requirements can have on the quality of a lesson; for example,students might speak up only in an effort to get participation points,resulting in questions that lack insight and wasted opportunities for those who genuinely want to learn.

   Finally,the high schoolers criticize the nature of participation grades. uSimply recording the number of times a person participates fails to capture the nature of what exactly was said,” they write,adding that participation grades leave too much room for teachers’ favoritism to show through.

   Of course,there's a different side to every story. In a recent article in The Atlantic,a middle school teacher defends her decision to keep class participation as a requirement for her students. uAs a teacher,it is my job to teach grammar,vocabulary,and literature,but I must also teach my students how to succeed in the world we live in — a world where most people won’t stop talking”’ she says. “If anything,I feel even more strongly that my introverted(内向的) students must learp how to self-advocate by communicating with parents,educators,and the world at large."

   She mentions several resources in the article. One such resource is Dr. Kendall Hoyt,an assistant professor of medicine at Dartmouth Medical School. Dr. Hoyt is a self-described introvert and mother of two introverts. “I understand that social anxiety is a real thing,and part of my job as a teacher is to teach people how to express themselves clearly and be heard,” Dr. Hoyt says. She also teaches this to her own children,creating chances for them that require them to approach strangers,make eye contact,and ask for something,like directions or information.

29. The article written by the two high schoolers is about whether students should .

   A. speak freely in class

   B. be graded on participation

   C. spend more time speaking

   D. be given written assignments

30. Which can best replace the underlined word “detrimental” in Paragraph 2 ?

   A. Lasting. B. Harmful.

   C. Practical. D. Beneficial.

31. The middle school teacher mentioned in Paragraph 4 stresses the importance of .

   A. English literature

   B. vocabulary and grammar

   C. grading students objectively

   D. teaching students to express themselves

32. Why does the middle school teacher mention Dr. Hoyt in her article?

   A. To express her doubts.

   B. To support her argument.

   C. To compare different ideas.

   D. To attract readers* attention.

What will man be like in the future —5,000 or even 50 ,000 years from now? We can only make guesses,of course,but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today,for man is slowly changing all the time.

Let us take an obvious example. Man,500 years ago,was shorter than he is today. Five hundred years is relatively a short period of time,so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again,in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so,we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity. As time goes on,however,we shall have to use our brains more and more,and eventually we shall need larger ones!This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head. In particular,the fore-head (前额) will grow larger.

Nowadays our eyes are in constant (持续不断的) use. In fact,we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time,it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.

On the other hand,we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These,as a result,are likely to grow weaker. At the same time,however,our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.

But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in the course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future,then,both sexes are likely to be bald (秃头的) .

Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at!

This may be true. All the same,in spite of all these changes,future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being,with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.

41. The passage mainly tells us that .

   A. man's life will be different in the future

   B. future man will look quite different from us

   C. man is growing taller as time passes

   D. man's eyes will become weaker 

42. What serves as the evidence that man is changing?

   A. Man's hair is getting thinner and thinner.

   B. Man has got stronger eyes now than before.

   C. Man's arms and legs are becoming lighter and weaker.

   D. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.

43. Man's forehead will grow larger probably because.

   A. he will grow taller and stronger

   B. the other 80% of his brain's capacity will grow

   C. he will fully use the 20% of his brain's capacity

   D. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on

44. Which of the following is TRUE about a human being in the future?

   A. He will think and feel less in different ways.

   B. He will be hairless because hair is no longer useful.

   C. He will have smaller eyes and wear better glasses.

   D. His fingers will grow weaker because he doesn’t have to use them.

45. We can learn from the passage that .

   A. human's future life will be boring

   B. men and women will look the same in the future

   C. human beings will become less attractive in the future

   D. future human beings will have different emotions from us
