9.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.

20.A 12-year-old girl who had a slight feeling that she might be quite clever has taken a test and proved she was absolutely right.
  Lydia Sebastian achieved the top score of l62 on Mensa's Cattell III B paper,suggesting she has a higher IQ than well-known geniuses Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.
  The comparison doesn't sit well with the British student,who's currently in Year 8 at Colchester County high school,a selective girl's grammar school in Essex,England.
"I don't think I can be compared to such great intellectuals such as Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.They've achieved so much.I don't think it's right."Lydia told CNN.
  Lydia sat the test in her summer holidays,after raising the idea with her parents who were in favor of it after some time.
  It turns out the test wasn't that hard after all.
"I was really nervous before the test and I thought it was going to be really hard.But as I started the test,I thought it was a bit easier than l thought it was going to be,"she said.
  Lydia's not quite sure what she wants to do when she goes to university,though she's leaning toward something"based around math,because it's one of my favorite subjects."
"All I'm going to do is work as hard as I can,and see where that gets me,"she said.
  To put Lydia's mark in perspective,the top adult score in the Cattell III B test,which primarily tests verbal reasoning,is 161.A top 2% score-which allows entry to Mensa,the club for those with high IQs-would be 148 or over.Lydia scored 162,placing her in the top l% of the population.
24.What can we know about Lydia from the passage?B
A.She is a middle school student.
B.She is the cleverest student.
C.She thinks she is cleverer than Einstein.
D.She had thought the test was very easy.
25.According to the passage,who supported her taking the test?D

B.be able to attend a famous university
C.have a great interest in math
D.get at least 148 in the IQ test
27.After Lydia graduates from high school,she willA.

17.Not many years ago,a wealthy and rather strange old man named Johnson lived alone in a village in the south of England.He had made a lot of money in trading with foreign countries.When he was seventy-five,he gave﹩60,000to the village school to buy land and equipment for a children's ground.
As a result of his kindness,he became famous.Many people came to visit him.Among them was a newspaperman.During their talk,Johnson remarked that he was seventy-five and expected to live to be hundred.The newspaperman asked him how he managed to be healthy at seventy-five.Johnson had a sense of humor.He liked whisky and drank some each day."I have an injection (注射) in my neck each evening,"he told the newspaperman,thinking of his evening glass of whisky.
The newspaperman did not understand what Johnson meant.In his newspaper he reported that Johnson was seventy-five and had daily injection in his neck.Within a week Johnson received thousands of letters from all over Britain,asking him for the secret of his daily injection.

1.March 21 has been declared World Sleep Day,a time to recognize and celebrate the value of sleep.Many sleep experts hope it will be a wake-up call.
According to a poll (民意调查)by the National Sleep Foundation,nearly 4 in 5 Americans don't get as much sleep as they should during the workweek.On average,adults are thought to need at least eight hours of sleep a night,although some can manage with less and some won't do well without more.But the survey found that,on workdays,only 21% of Americans actually get a full eight hours of sleep,and another 21% get less than six.
To many of us,the thought of spending more time sleeping is,well,a big yawn.On the other hand,the thought of being smarter,thinner,healthier and more cheerful can be very attractive.And those are just a few of the advantages that can be ours if we get enough sleep,researchers say.Also on the plus side:We're likely to have better skin,better memories,better judgment,and,oh,yes,longer lives.
"When you lose even one hour of sleep for any reason,it influences your performance the next day,"says Dr.Alon Avidan,director of the UCLA Sleep Disorders Center.
A study published last year found the same to be true even of children.When kids aged 8 to 12 slept for just one hour less for four nights,they didn't function as well during the day.
But sleeping has an image problem."We see napping or sleeping as lazy,"says Jennifer Vriend,a clinical psychologist in Ottawa,Canada,and the leading author of the study with children."We put so much attention on diet,nutrition and exercise.Sleep is in the back seat."In fact,she adds,no matter how much we work out,no matter how well we eat,we can't be in top physical shape unless we also get plenty of sleep.

32.The underlined part in Paragraph 1 meansB.
A.to wake up the sleepers                 B.to draw people's attention
C.to serve as a morning call              D.to declare the special day
33.According to papragrph3,we can conclude thatD.
A.being healthier is one of the advantages for us
B.sleeping has nothing to do with one's expectations
C.spending more time on sleeping is a waste of time
D.enough sleep can be of great benefit to everyone
34.What Jennifer Vriend said in the last paragraph implies thatC.
A.sleeping is an image problem            B.lazy people tend to sleep long  
C.people care little about sleeping       D.sleeping is only part of our life
35.What is the purpose of the passage?A
A.to raise the awareness of enough sleeping.
B.to provide a research result of sleeping.
C.to talk about people's sleeping problems.
D.to stress the function of sleeping at night.
