19．Some Life Skills Teenagers Should Learn
Healthy habits，
Teens should understand the importance of sleep，exercise and nutrition．（36）GAlso，teach healthy self-soothing（自我安抚）skills for managing disappointment．Teens don't handle disappointment well these days，which contributes to anxiety
Dealing with conflict．
Whether dealing with a thoughtless roommate or an unclear boss，teens need to learn to have uncomfortable conversations．When we handle things for our kids，they learn to avoid situations that feel difficult．
（37）F
Phone skills．
（38）DThis seems simple to you．However，this seems not so much to a generation of texters．Have teens practice by ordering the family's to-go meal by phone and making their own doctor and dentist appointments．If they get sick in college-and they will-they'll need to contact the student health clinic without you．
（39）A
Teens should know how to settle their checking account and understand budget basics．Explain how health insurance works，what a co-pay is and the nuts and bolts of credit cards．
Household chores．
Teens should not only understand two to run a washing machine，but how to fold clothes and put them away．Have your child sweep the floor，clean a bathroom，cook breakfast for the family or go to the grocery store for you．（40）E they  may complain but the more tasks teens handle，the more competent they'll feel when they move out．Competence begets confidence．

A．Money basics．
B．Developing confidence．
C．Sometimes they might lost patience．
D．Teens need practice talking on the phone．
E．Kids need to experience great skill at home．
F．So let your teen handle talking to her coach，teacher or boss．
G．Before you can do anything well，you have to have healthy habits．
18．Neil Armstrong，who was born on August 5，1930，was a great astronaut who was the first man to land on the moon．At the age of two，Neil Armstrong with his father went to see the 1932 Cleveland National Air Races，and on seeing the planes fly，he fell in love with flying．At six，he took a plane ride in a Tin Goose．And he began taking flying lessons when he was fourteen．

In January 1969，Armstrong was chosen to command the Apollo 11mission of landing on the moon．A spacecraft named Eagle carried Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin to the moon．At 4：17pm on July 20，mission"Lunar Landing"was accomplished!At 10：56pm，Armstrong stepped on the moon．Armstrong，joined by Aldrin performed experiments，collected samples and put an American flag on the moon．They left some medals there，in memory of spacemen who had lost their lives during space missions．On July 24，they returned to Earth．
Neil Armstrong died of illness on August 25，2012，aged 82．He was considered as one of the greatest of American heroes-not just of his time，but of all time．

With Chinese economy has developed fast，the life standard has improved rapid．A lot of people have money to travel abroad．Recently，I saw a video，which was about what the foreigners judged Chinese tourists．The video reported the crazy situation where Chinese tourists created．In the foreigners eyes，Chinese tourists are rich．But at the same time，they were annoying by the acts of Chinese tourists．Some of them would like write some words in the tourist sites and some people would spit anytime and anywhere．As far as I'm concerned about，when we are in the foreign countries，what we do somehow present the image of their motherland，so it is important to act politely．
14．When you enjoy a speech or a performance，you probably feel like clapping to show your admiration．But what if you were forbidden to do it？
In July，Elanora Heights Public School，which is on Sydney's northern beaches，did just this，banning students from clapping out of respect for school community members who are sensitive to noise．When students attend an assembly，teachers will tell the audience to conduct a silent cheer if needed．Instead of clapping，the students are free to punch the air，pull excited faces and twist their body on the spot．The rule was introduced to respect a teacher with a hearing condition that causes sensitivity to noise．Teachers have also found the silent cheers to be a great way to consume children's abundant energy．
GQ．com editor Lauran Larson wrote that this ban comes after a major push in Australia towards political correctness in schools．Elanora Heights Public School's ban on clapping in favor of silent cheering comes after several schools which have banned hugging．In April，hugging was banned at a Geelong primary school and children were told to find other ways to show affection．The schools has banned hugging，singing Christmas carols，celebrating Australia Day and singing the word"black"in the nursery rhyme"baa baa black sheep"．In July，teachers at t he Cheltenham Girls High School in northwest Sydney were reported to have been banned from calling students"girls"，"ladies"or"women"．
Political correctness is defined by Merriam-Webster as"agreeing with the idea that people should be careful to not use language or behave in a way that could offend a particular group of people"．The goal of political correctness is to respect every group in society．
The debate around political correctness has been going on for many years．"What I think the political correctness debate is really about the power to be able to define．The definers want the power to name．And the defined are now taking that power away from them．"said Toni Morrison，a famous US novelist and editor．
Fortunately，this story was finally adjusted on 22 July to clarify that the policy was brought in because of a teacher's condition and applied to gatherings only．Despite the good ideas behind the ban on clapping，it may make school less fun for the kids．"If we silence kids now，the quiet air punching will grow until the fists of their rage beat us all．"said Larson．
 
32．Why were t he students at Elanora Heights Public School forbidden to clap？C
A．Students are always full of energy and fight with each other．
B．Some students like calling students"girls"，"ladies"or"women"．
C．Some people may be offended by the noise of clapping．
D．Students find it interesting to conduct a silent cheer．
33．How can the students at Elanora Heights Public School show their admiration at assemblies？D
A．They can applaud as loudly as they can．
B．They can punch the excited faces．
C．They can hug and sing Christmas carols．
D．They can perform a quiet air punching．
34．In Morrison's opinion，what leads to political correctness？C
A．Politicians are in favor of it．
B．It has also received many criticisms．
C．It is a matter of competing for power．
D．There is heated debate about it．
35．What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean？C
A．Kids will obey the rule．
B．Kids will have much fun．
C．Kids will get angry．
D．Kids will become quiet．
13．If you watched the 2016 Rio Olympic Games，you might have noticed that several athletes，including US swimmer Michael Phelps，had circular bruises on their bodies．These bruises were the results of"cupping therapy"（拔罐疗法）a traditional Chinese medical practice that has been around for more than 2，000 years．Cupping therapy involves attaching circular cups to the skin using suction．（吸出）The suction is created either by heating the cup inside or by using a handheld pump．This suction pulls the skin upward into the cup．Sometimes it can leave dark red bruises，other times there is no mark at all．
Many athletes say that they have benefited from the therapy．Phelps used the therapy in the fall of 2014 and has used it about twice a week since，reported ABC News．Another US swimmer，Dana Vollmer，also believes that"it really helps with blood flow，and helps pull swelling out of different areas．"
To figure out whether cupping has many physical effects，last year researchers from Germany carried out a test in which a sham treatment was provided．In the study，the same type of cups was used in the real treatment and the sham treatment．But in the sham treatment，the cups had a hole at the top so that they cou ldn't create the proper suction．
The tested patients，who suffered from a disorder that causes a lot of pain，were told that they would receive either a traditional cupping of"soft cupping"．But they were not informed that the so-called"soft cupping"was a sham treatment．
It turned out that most patients correctly guessed which kind of cupping they had received．In both groups，patients also experienced about the same reductions in pain．The results suggest the effects of cupping therapy might come from factors that are not necessarily part of the treatment itself，probably resulting from people feeling that the treatment works，the researchers told the LiveScience Website．
The question of whether cupping therapy works still needs to be answered．But because the treatment is relatively safe and it could be helpful for some people，"The therapy can be used as a part of a comprehensive treatment program involving other exercises，nutritional choices and life-style interventions"，Dr Brent Bauer，director of the US'Mayo Clinic Complementary and Integrative Medicine Program，told LiveScience．

12．The outdoor billboard presents a masked health worker in a protective suit appearing over a bed-ridden patient．Above them，bright red letters warn people on a busy street in Abidjan，Ivory Coast that"The Ebola risk is always there．"
As the country tries to keep off an Ebola outbreak destroying neighboring West African states，such serious reminders of the catastrophe unfolding across its western border are everywhere．The worst recorded outbreak of the virus has killed more than 2，622 people in Liberia，Sierra Leone and Guinea and has also spread to Nigeria and Senegal．Yesterday it was confirmed there were 5，335 cases diagnosed，though that figure may be inaccurate as most patients are at home not in hospital．
If Ebola reaches Ivory Coast，the powerhouse of French-speaking West Africa，the economic consequences could be huge．The country exports 40 percent of the world's cocoa，the raw material for chocolate，an d supplies its landlocked neighbors with everything from rice to fuel．
The country is therefore taking the kind of aggressive anti-infection measures．Hand-washing stations have appeared at the entrance of government buildings and office towers i n Abidjan．People have also abandoned the traditional three-kiss greeting．Mass text messages have been sent out nationwide．And children，exposed to warnings on radio and television，separate their classmates in a playground game they call"Ebola"．
Coast government has even imposed strict measures at its borders．Flights to and from Guinea，Sierra Leone and Liberia have been banned-arousing anger in those count ries-and last month the western border was shut．
"The infectious disease，particularly in Sierra Leone and Liberia，is outpacing our attempts to control it，"said Marc Poncin．"Ivory Coast is the country most at risk．It's probably a matter of time before it appears in Ivory Coast．"
Citizens of Abidjan are cautious．On packed public buses，people try to avoid touching．"It's often difficult because you can't avoid human contact，"said student Cesar Kouakou．"But we try to do it because no one knows what causes this sickness．"
