18．Parents who exert too much control over their children could be causing them lifelong psychologic——青夏教育精英家教网—

18．Parents who exert too much control over their children could be causing them lifelong psychological damage，according to a study which tracked a group of people born in the 1940s until the present day．
Researchers found that people who reported that parents had intruded on their privacy in childhood or encouraged dependence were more likely to have low scores in surveys of happiness and general wellbeing carried out in their teens，their 30s，their 40s and even their 60s．
The negative impact on wellbeing was comparable in degree to that observed in people who have lost a family member，experts from University College London （UCL） said．
In contrast，people who said their parents were more caring，warm and responsive to their needs tended to be more content well into adulthood．
The findings are the culmination of a survey which has tracked more than 5，000 people since their birth in 1946．It is well-established that childhood influences can have profound effect on the
developing brain，but this is one of the first studies that have attempted to measure their impact over
such a long period of time．
Information on parenting styles was only available from the study participants themselves，who were asked to recall  their childhoods when in their 40s，and may therefore suffer from a degree  of so-called recall bias-unhappy people may be more likely to depict their parents as controlling．
However，the research said the findings agreed with previous studies which have shown that children who are  able to form secure emotional bonds with parents are more likely to have secure happy relationships later in life．
"parents also give us stable base from which to explore the world while warmth and responsiveness has been shown to promote social and emotional development，"said Dr．Maid Stafford，of the Medical Research Council's（MRC） Lifelong and Ageing unit at UCL．
"By contrast，psychological control can limit a child's independence and leave them less able to regulate  their own behaviour．"Dr Stafford said that the study did not seek to blame parents．
"Parents are vitally important to the mental wellbeing of future generations，"she said．
"Policies to reduce economic and other pressures on parents could help them to foster better relationships with their children．"
Previous research has shown a clear link between economic stress in parents and poorer early child development．
32．What can be inferred from the passage？C
A．Various parenting styles can count．
B．An unfair finding can easily mislead parents．
C．There is a side effect from too much control over children．

C．Parents'control over children is completely wrong．
D．People of many age ranges are interviewed in the survey．
34．The study，according to Dr Stafford，is intended toD．
A．blame parents with control over children
B．encourage the children's dependence

17．Don't we all know a"Happy Meal"when we see one-the famous boxed meal that includes a hamburger，a kid-sized portion of fries，a drink and so on，served with a toy that's extremely popular with children who love to collect them？
But collectors of these little toys will soon be in for a surprise．For the book lovers though，there is some good news．Mc Donalds will replace toys with books．However，each of these books will mainly pass on nutritional messages．
Do you know that Mc Donalds has been marketing the boxed kid's meal since 1979？Happy Meals are extremely popular with kids，especially for its collectible toys，when you consider that over 1.3 billion of these packages are sold each year!These packages have been very controversial．Health supporters believe that drawing kids to these meals with toys is a clever way of promoting unhealthy food choices．They see it as an advertising strategy of"catching its customers young"-a move that has paid off very well for the fast food company．
Child development experts say that food habits get formed in children by age six and continue through to their adult life．Fatty and sugary foods such as those served in Mc Donalds'Happy Meals are believed to play a big role in growing health problems such as obesity and diabetes．Public health care costs have gone up and untold amounts of other health problems．In 2010，the State of California tried to ban toys in Happy Meals．But it was strongly opposed by some as being heavy-handed，and the ban was thrown out by the government．
While some people believe that Mc Donalds，with its large following of children，can create a powerful message through the books，others believe its actions are contradictory．Anyway，the company is trying to spread the message of nutrition while it is serving food that is anything but healthy．
28．What's the aim of the question raised in the first paragraph？D
A．To give a surprise to the book lovers．
B．To persuade the readers to buy boxed meals．
C．To make the readers think about the answer．
D．To get the readers'attention to the passage．
29．Books will be added into Happy Meals toC．
A．encourage more kids to read books
B．introduce the history of McDonald's
C．have kids learn more about nutrition
D．help young kids learn to read and write
30．In the author's opinion，Happy MealsB．
A．bring much fun to children
B．do no actual good to children's health
C．are popular with the young and the old
D．teach children a lot about nutrition
31．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage？A
A．Are Happy Meals Really Happy？
B．The links Between Food and Health
C．The Importance of Eating Healthy Food
D．Happy Meal-A New Advertising Method．

16．Lots of people buy books and products from Amazon，an online seller．They order and pay over the Internet and the books are shipped through the mail or a delivery service like FedEx．
One day，people could get their Amazon deliveries from an"unmanned aerial vehicle"-a tiny flying vehicle that looks like a toy helicopter．And instead of waiting days to get the parcel，it could be at the buyer's home in half an hour or less．The company is working on a fleet of tiny vehicles they call"Prime Air"．The vehicles are also known as"octocopters"．On their website，Amazon says，"one day，Prime Air vehicles will be as normal as seeing mail trucks on the road today．"
The U．S．'s Federal Aviation Administration （FAA） is working on safety regulations for unmanned flying vehicles like the Prime Air copters（飞机）．Those regulations will make sure the copters are able to fly safely where they need to go．Once the FAA has put its rules in place，which could be as early as 2015，Amazon will be ready with its fleet of tiny flyers．The process could take as many as five years．
The new delivery service would likely be available only in the United States at first．The copters the company is testing now can handle packages up to five pounds （2.3kg） and they have a range of 10miles （16kilometres）．
Other companies are also looking at using unmanned flying vehicles to deliver their products．For instance，Domino's Pizza in the UK released a video showing a"DomiCopter，"delivering a pizza．That video may have been a publicity stunt（噱头）．In any case，just like Prime Air's octocopters，the DomiCopters don't have clearance to take off just yet．
21．For what purpose does Amazon want to use the Prime Air？C
A．To remind people to order online．
B．To check the delivery service．
C．To shorten the delivery period．
D．To predict the sales volumes．
22．What does Paragraph Four mainly tell us about the new delivery method？D
A．Its safety．
B．Its appearance．
C．Its moving speed．
D．Its delivery ability．
23．What can be concluded from the last paragraph？A
A．The delivery service in the world is making great progress．
B．The new vehicles would be put into immediate production．
C．The designer will promote his new product to other countries．
D．The similar delivery vehicles in other places worked out to be well．

15．This is Tornado and Severe Weather （龙卷风与恶劣天气） Awareness Week．It's important to know what to do and where to go during severe weather．A Wisconsin couple says an early warning could have been the difference between life and deathwhen a tornado hit last summer．
Larry and Rita Krznarich were camping in northern Wisconsin last year．The day started off nice，but took a turn for the worse in the evening．So they turned on their weather radio．
"I turned the radio on and there was a specific warning：A storm is about to hit the Turtle-Flambeau．Take cover immediately，"says Larry Krznarich．"I said to Rita，‘Head for the table．I'm going to warn the neighbors．'"
Larry joined Rita under the picnic table and within minutes a tornado hit．A falling tree hit Larry and broke his leg bone，but without the warning the couple says things could have been worse．
"The tent，where we may have been if not for the weather radio，was completely covered by trees； all of our things were completely covered，"says Rita Krznarich．
With spring here，people are being reminded to plan for severe weather．That includes buying a weather radio．
"The great thing about the weather radio is that it's instantaneous．It's directly from the weather service，so you're getting information at exactly the same time they're getting it，"says Tod Pritchard，Emergency Preparedness Coordinator．
Larry has recovered from his injuries and now the couple makes sure everyone they know has a weather radio．
"Ever since the storm，we've given weather radios as gifts to people．You can get them for $20so there's no excuse not to have one or a couple，"says Larry．

14．"When I was a child，space was all I dream and talked about．My parents thought it was just a phase （阶段），but as I grew up I became greatly interested in science．I never doubted that one day I'd be an astronaut （宇航员）．"As an adult，Anousheh Ansari left her home country Iran，settled in the USA and started a company．The company was so successful that she was finally able to sell it for 750million．"Thefirstthingthatcrossedmymindwasthatmylife'sgoalmightnowbewithinreachandIsigneduptobecomethefirstfemale（女性的）privatespaceexploreratacostofaround20million．"
Anousheh set off on September 18th along with two astronauts．On the space station，each member of a space crew （全体机组人员），tourist or not，is expected to carry out important
experiments on board．For Anousheh，this meant working on lower back pains in astronauts and studying tiny life forms that can carry diseases on board the station．Many people might have considered this"working holiday"bad，but Anousheh loved it．
Anousheh faced many difficulties on board．To wash her hair，for example，she had to put water over her head； however，little bits of water would float （漂浮） away．"The guys liked to make fun of me．They'd ask me to pass the bread and when I handed it to them，rather than floating it，they'd say I'd taken all the fun out of it．After a while，I got used to all this，though，and I felt so at home that in the end it was hard to go back to normality．"
Anousheh is proud to be the first female space tourist and wants to encourage women all over the world．However，she doesn't like the title"space tourist"．"I think if my experience is to be compared to an experiment or an experience on Earth，it is probably closer to an adventure to Antarctica or climbing Mount Everest，"she explains．
