【题目】I got invited to go with some friends to a game at another school. A senior will be driving us, and I think she’s a good driver, but it’s someone my parents don’t know. I want to tell my parents where I’m going, but what if I ask and they say “no”? I’ll end up wishing I never mentioned it and just went ahead and did it anyway.

If you want more privileges, it’s best to build a track record of honesty and trust. Letting a parent know where you’re going is always a good idea.

You may worry that telling your parents puts you at risk of getting “no” for an answer. But there’s a good chance your parents might be OK with you going. If you go but don’t tell them, you risk losing something more important — your parents’ trust.

Parents who find out their kids did something behind their backs may be less likely to give permission to do things in the future. When trust is broken like this, parents wonder if teens are trying to hide something — and what they imagine can be far worse than the reality.

Before you talk to your parents about the game, think about which approach will help them feel most comfortable with giving you more freedom. Maybe they’d like to meet the person driving or talk to friends who have driven with her in the past. If your parents have questions or hesitate about letting you go, find out what their worries are and then do your best to answer them.

The Best Ways to Offer Support and Encouragement

Whether it is a friend, family member, or coworker, at some time or another somebody will need support and encouragement. This could be the result of a disappointing change in life, a health change or other similar challenges. 【1】 Even if you do not think that you have the ability to offer the proper support and encouragement,your willingness to be there and to listen may be enough.

Each situation is different,and each would require different levels of both support and encouragement. 2 Helping keep up someone's spirits when they are feeling helpless just by letting them know you are there,can make a serious difference in their lives.

3 For people in this situation, often a telephone call, or dropping in to say “hello” is more than enough. You may not feel that you are doing much of anything,but to the person who is feeling isolated the effort you take to stop and see them,or call them can make a big difference. For someone who has recently lost a job,you may be able to offer support by helping them network effectively. Or, you may be able to help them craft a new resume,apply for benefits,or a number of other “small” things that may seem insignificant to you, but to them can be a very significant event.

4 However,if you let them know that you are there for them,and make it a point to check in with them regularly,they may soon feel more comfortable and share them /span>with you. Take for example a person who is suffering with depression.

5 They may not be willing to admit that there is something wrong. However,if you trust your instincts(直觉) and take a little extra care to support and encourage them even in little ways,you can make a huge difference in their overall outlook.

A. You know that there is something wrong.

B. All too often,people feel isolated and do not know where to turn.

C. So you may need support and encouragement to pull through.

D. You may not always understand all of the issues going on in someone's life.

E. In such cases,it is natural for you to reach out and offer your support and encouragement.

F. You know better than anyone the best ways to support and encourage someone who is going through a difficult time.

G. The support you offer could be as simple as helping with simple household tasks, running errands(跑腿儿),or even being available for telephone calls.

【题目】Clean your plate!” Just about every kid in the US has heard this from a parent. Often, it is accompanied by an appeal: “Just think about those starving orphans in Africa!” Sure, we should be grateful for every bite of food. Unfortunately, many people in the US take too many bites. Instead of staying “clean the plate”, perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow.

According to news reports, US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies. A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer, with two to four times the amount recommended by the government, according to a USA Today story. Americans traditionally associate quantity with value and most restaurants try to give them that. They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little.

Barbara Rolls, a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University, told USA Today that restaurant portion sizes began to grow in the 1970s, the same time that the American waistline began to expand.

Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions. Now, apparently, some customers are calling for this too. The restaurant industry trade believed restaurants serve portions that are too large; 23 percent had no opinion; 20 percent disagreed. But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can’t afford fine dining still prefer large portions. 70 percent of those earning at least $150,000 per year prefer smaller portions; but only 45 percent of those earning less than$25,000 want smaller.

It’s not that working class Americans don’t want to eat healthy, It’s just that, after long hours at low-paying jobs, getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal. They live from paycheck to paycheck, happy to save a little money for next year’s Christmas presents.

1“Clean your plate!” in the first paragraph means ______ .

A. to wash the plate B. not to eat too much

C. not to waste the food D. to help the starving orphans

2American restaurants serve large portions because ______ .

A. Americans are good at eating B. Americans value the amount

C. the restaurants want people to keep healthy D. the government recommend s the amount

3What happened in the 1970s?

A. The government recommended serving small portion.

B. Americans began to realize the importance of health.

C. Health experts persuaded restaurants to serve large portion.

D. People in the United States began to gain weight.

4What does the survey indicate?

A. Many poor Americans want large portions.

B. 20 percent Americans want smaller portions.

C. 70 percent Americans earn at least $150,000 per year.

D. 45 percent Americans earn less than $25,000 per year.

【题目】Any dog’s love and devotion can feel like a miracle(奇迹). In a sense, Mason, a one-year-old dog, may be the most amazing one on the earth.

The long-legged dog in North Smithfield, Alabama, was caught in a storm in his family’s garage last spring. His family thought he would be safe there, but the storm broke the garage door and Mason disappeared.

Dozens of people died that day. Mason’s family were grateful just to be alive. But they were heartbroken at the thought that their sweet, playful companion had died. They combed the neighborhood, but Mason didn’t turn up.

Three weeks after the disaster, Mason’s family were surprised to find Mason on the front door, so ecstatic to see his family.

Where had Mason landed during the windstorm? What did he eat for those long weeks? How did he find his way back home?

There were no answers to those questions and no time to work them out. Mason was terribly thin and couldn’t stand properly. The family quickly sought help and learned their beloved dog had crawled(爬) home on broken front legs. “He was simply on his elbows(肘),” says Dr. Doster.

Doster had spent days reuniting pets with their owners and took an instant liking to the brave dog. He contacted Dr.William Lamb of Vulcan Park Animal Care in Birmingham, who volunteered to perform the needed surgery for free. Lamb inserted two metal plates and 17 screws(螺丝钉) in an operation that lasted more than five hours.

Mason’s injuries were so significant that he required weeks of recovery to heal. By the time he returned home to his family in September, he was jumping around again. “There were no ill effects at all, which is a miracle in itself,” Doster says.

1The best title for the passage is probably__________ .

A. A new miracle came up

B. Mason—the miracle dog

C. What creates a miracle

D. How can miracles happen

2What does the underlined word “ecstatic” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. Surprised. B. Excited. C. Fantastic. D. Lifeless.

3What can we know about Mason?

A. Mason had the longest legs in the world.

B. Mason was a female dog with great courage.

C. Mason was seriously hurt in the storm.

D. Mason was deserted in the garage by design.

4It can be inferred from the passage that____ .

A. Mason sheltered himself from the storm

B. some kind people had offered Mason food

C. it took three weeks for Mason to recover

D. Mason’s operation was a tough one for Dr.Lamb
