【题目】B

Having a bit of a temper tantrum(发脾气), whether at home or in the classroom, is as harmful as you can get and only serves to discourage your teenagers.

What they really need at this stage in their lives are words that build them up according to their needs that it may benefit them-that is, words of encouragement, affirmation(肯定) and a good deal of praise. The benefits to them and us as parents and teachers are quite amazing-harmony, peace and love.

When I left my last school where I had been a casual(代课老师) for eight years, I received "thank you" notes from the students. I think these notes illustrate what teenagers want and need from their parents and teachers.

Some of the notes mention kindness, patience, thoughtfulness, encouragement and fun. Teenagers value these qualities and what I found was that the more I relaxed and enjoyed their company, the less I had to discipline them.

Below I've included a few excerpts from the notes to let the kids speak for themselves. These are teenagers speaking from the heart and show what, according to teenagers, they need and value.

Each note began, "Thank you for..."

making each student in the school happy

putting up with us every time you get us (i.e. having patience)

Always giving every student a chance and treating everyone like an adult giving lots

of merits and making every lesson fun and enjoyable

Being very kind & for giving me lots of (merit) stickers

You make working be fun

【题目】Engineers should embrace（接受） the arts，Sir John O'Reilly，a fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology，argued in a lecture．

About 59% of engineering companies in the IET's 2014 survey feared skill shortages could threaten（威胁） business．

"There is nothing as creative as engineering," Sir John told the reporter．He says science，technology，engineering and mathematics - often known as "Stem" subjects，are vital for a modern knowledge economy．But there is a massive shortfall in the number of recruits（招聘） - with a recent study by the Royal Academy of Engineering saying the UK needs to increase by as much as 50% the number of Stem graduates it produces．

Delivering this year's Mountbatten Lecture at the Royal Institution，Sir John argued that engineers should recognise the role of the arts in their work - among other benefits; this could attract more people into the profession．The lecture，Full Steam Ahead for Growth，advocated a wider adoption -- Steam，or science，technology，engineering，arts and maths．Engineers should embrace the arts as being key to creativity and an important component of innovation（创新），crucial to creating new products and boosting future competitiveness，he argued． "Engineering and technology is an increasingly diverse and creative field," said Sir John．

Some university engineering departments already cooperated with art schools to develop understanding，he told the reporter．In particular he mentioned Cranfield University's Centre for Creative Competitive Design and Imperial College's work with the Royal College of Art．The two sets of people could work well together and more emphasis on the creative side of engineering could improve the success of products，he said．

"Aesthetics(美学) is part of it," he told the reporter，adding that Apple's iPod was not the first digital media player，nor the only one that worked - but it came to dominate the market "because it was nice to have"．

Sir John said he was not suggesting universities started requiring A-level art from engineering applicants - the key subjects for admission would continue to be maths and the sciences．But an emphasis on creative skills would help "broaden the pool and attract more people in"．

【1】According to a recent study by the Royal Academy _______ ．

A. skill shortages could threaten business

B. engineering graduates are not as creative as expected

C. there are not enough arts graduates produced in the UK．

D. the UK needs more graduates in science，technology，engineering and mathematics

A. engineers should cooperate with arts majors

B. Accepting the arts could attract more people into engineering

C. engineers should realize arts play the most important part in their work

D. engineering and technology is as diverse and creative as before

【3】By giving the example of Apple's iPod，Sir John intends to _______ ．

A. stress the importance of arts

B. stress the importance of marketing

C. stress the importance of communication

D. stress the importance of science and technology

【4】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. More university students should study arts instead of engineering．

B. Engineering and technology is increasingly different and unrelated fields．

C. The IET's skills survey raised concerns about the number of recruits to engineering．

D. Students from some university engineering departments have already transferred to art schools

【5】What is the passage mainly about?

A. Lack of creativity makes it difficult for the engineering major to find a satisfactory job．

B. The key subjects for engineering majors remain to be maths and the sciences rather than arts．

C. University engineering departments should cooperate with art schools to improve the success of products．

D. Engineering needs to emphasize its creative side to encourage more young people to choose it as a career．
