7.Being Authoritative (由权威的) Parents
Phrases like"tiger mom"and‘‘helicopter parent"have made their way into everyday language.Many of us find ourselves drawn to the idea that with just a bit more parental hard work and effort,we might turn out children with bright futures.But is there anything wrong with a kind of"overparenting style"?
Parental involvement has a long history of being studied.Many of the studies,conducted by Diana Baumrind,a famous psychologist at the University of California,Berkeley,have found that a good parent is the one who is involved and reacts to her child in a positive way,who sets high expectations but gives her child independence.These"authoritative parents"appear to hit the sweet spot of parental involvement and generally raise children who do better academically,psychologically and socially than children whose parents are not strict and less involved,or controlling and more involved.Why is this parenting style so successful?
Authoritative parents actually help improve motivation in their children.Carol Dweck,a social psychologist at Stanford University,has done research that indicates why authoritative parents raise more motivated children.In a typical experiment,Dr.Dweck takes young children into a room and asks them to solve a simple puzzle.Most do so with little difficulty.But then Dr.Dweck tells some,but not all,of the kids how clever they are.As it turns out,the children who are not told they're smart are more motivated to solve increasingly difficult puzzles.They also show higher levels of confidence and show greater progress in puzzle-solving.
As the experiment suggests,praising children's talents and abilities seems to shake their confidence.Dealing with more difficult puzzles carries the risk of losing one's status as"smart".Dr.Dweck's work strongly supports that of Dr.Baumrind,who also found that reasonably supporting a child's independence and limiting interference (干涉) causes better academic and emotional results.
The central task of growing up is to develop a sense of self that is independent and confident.If you treat your young child who is just learning to walk as if she can't walk,you reduce her confidence.Allowing children to make mistakes is one of the greatest challenges of parenting.It is easier when they are young.The potential mistakes carry greater risks,and part of being a parent is reducing risk for our children.

8.How has smoking been controlled in recent years?
People were asked to stop smoking in a range of public places over the second half of the 20th century but it was after the King's Cross Underground fire on November 18,1987,caused by a cigarette end which resulted in 31deaths,that restrictions on smoking in public places gained rapid and widespread acceptance.
How did a ban on smoking in public places come into place?
In 1998the Smoking Kills White Paper set out a national strategy to reduce smoking prevalence (流行) and passive smoking,including in public places.The measures were voluntary and poorly carried out.After a public conference in England in 2004,the Government decided to choose for lawmaking.Scotland went first,with a ban in 2006,followed by the other nations a year later.
What is the current law?
Any person who smokes in enclosed public places,including pubs,offices,on public transport and work vehicles,is breaking the law.It does not extend to private houses.It is also an offence for people in charge of premises (营业场所) to permit others to smoke in them.
How was it received?
It was welcomed by most organizations-except for some pub owners and restaurateurs.All railway facilities are covered,as are all football grounds and stadiums.School grounds are not required to be smoke-free under the legislation(法规),but the majority now are.
How has it been forced?
Compliance (服从) in public premises has been high,with inspections suggesting that 99per cent of places were sticking to the rules.The number of people charged for smoking in cars has been very low,which was due to the problems defining and identifying"work"vehicles.They said that a total ban on smoking in vehicles would end this confusion.
Has it improved health?
Studies in early adopters of the law suggest a reduction in hospital admissions for heart disease,which has been shown to be linked to passive smoking.There is also strong evidence of a drop in the number of cigarettes consumed by those who continue to smoke.

64.When did the first law come out to ban smoking in public places?D
A.1987.  B.1998.   C.2004.  D.2006.
65.Which of the following behaviors may NOT be against the law?C
A.Jack often smokes in the office when he is alone.
B.A taxi driver is smoking with a lady in his car.
C.Tom smokes while thinking of his future at home.
D.Max smokes for relaxation during time-out in the stadium.
66.Who might feel unhappy about the law according to the article?A
A.A restaurant owner.   B.A company manager.
C.A car owner.          D.A policy maker.
67.What can you infer from the article?B
A.Most heart diseases have been proved to be linked to passive smoking.
B.A new law may soon come out with a total ban on smoking in vehicles.
C.The 1987fire has convinced more people that smoking is bad for health.
D.Most of the school grounds are not smoke-free,as it is not banned in the law.
5.Virginia is set to begin enforcing the toughest drunken-driving punishment,one that will require thousands of first-time offenders-whether they were highly drunk or slightly over the limit-to install in their cars blood-alcohol testing devices that can lock the ignition.The devices work like this-A driver must blow into a blood alcohol device linked to the car's ignition.If the result is higher than the legal limit,the car will not start.The device also requires random"rolling retests"once the driver is on the road.
Virginia's current law requires only repeated offenders or those with a blood alcohol level of 0.15 or higher to have an ignition interlock device in their cars.
    The new law,which takes effect in July,will roughly increase the number of people required to use ignition interlock devices four times,and offenders will have to pay about $ 480 for a typical six-month installation.
    The measure has caused a debate between groups battling drunken driving and those representing offenders.Such groups as Mother Against Drunken Driving and The Washington Regional Alcohol Program say that Virginia's 274 alcohol-related road deaths and more than 5,500 injuries in 2010 remained unacceptably high despite years of cracking down on drunken driving.Ignition interlock devices,they say,reduce repeat offenses.But some public defenders and lawyers argue that the devices are too severe a punishment for offenders at the legal blood alcohol limit 0.08,and that the court system will be burdened by more cases going to trial and lower-income drivers will be affected by the fees.
    Del.Sal R.Iaquinto,who sponsored the bill,had a simple reply for concerns about the costs of the interlock devises:"How much does a life cost?""Blowing into a tube for six months,you will remember that,"Iaquinto said,"And you're not likely to offend again."
66.The underlined word"ignition"in Paragraph 1 probably refers to the part in a car whereB.
A.the alarm goes off    
B.the engine starts  
C.the door opens    
D.the car is fueled
67.Who are required to install the blood alcohol devices according to the current law?C
A.The first time drunken-driving offenders.
B.The drivers who are not able to pay offence fees.
C.The repeat drunken-driving offenders.
D.Drivers whose blood alcohol level is below 0.15.
68.The reason why some defenders and lawyers oppose the new law is thatD.
A.fewer cases go to trial
B.lower-income drivers will not afford to drink again
C.interlock devices increase repeat offenses
D.the devices are too severe a punishment for offenders
69.The debate aroused by the measure implies thatB.
A.prevention is better than cure               
B.no law is absolutely perfect
C.punishment is the key to all             
D.justice has long arms
70.What is Del.Sal R.Iaquinto's attitude towards the new law?D
A.Negative
B.Indifferent
C.flexible
D.workable.

For example flexibility there is the Eurailpass which allows you to take trains in 17 combinations on any day you like.It is valid on a continuous basis for a period of either 15 or 21days,one,two or three months.
If you just want to travel in one or two countries to learn more about the local culture,the Eurailpass also offers two-country passes such as Spain-Portugal,France-Switzerland and Belgium-Luxemburg.Countries like Britain,France and Germany offer a kind of Eurailpass which allows unlimited train travel in their country.
Before buying a Eurailpasts,you should be aware of the best ways to save money.A second class train travel ticket is cheaper than first class; youths under 26 years old or group of two or more people traveling together can enjoy discounts.
