【题目】 It is late at night. A car stops in the middle of a forest. After dropping off their three teenagers, the parents say "good luck" and drive away.1.

It may sound crazy to you, but this is a special tradition in the Netherlands(荷兰) called “dropping”. Dutch(荷兰的) people believe that children should not depend too much on their parents.2American parenting writer Lenore Skenazy said, “When you let children out doing some things by themselves, all the good things happen -the self-confidence and happiness."

Although the Dutch enjoy this tradition, other people think it's a bad idea. 3“I don't think it's a nice thing for kids," said one parent from the US. “It's late and long and kids might be scared."

People have many different opinions about parenting. 4They worry too much about their children and pay attention to everything they do - like something flying over their children. In their eyes, children need to be protected all the time.

What is a good parenting style? An American Parenting expert kenneth Ginsburg says “5”. As Ginsburg writes “parents should make sure their children don't crash (碰撞) against the rocks, yet allow them to ride the waves, even if they get a little choppy (波涛汹涌的) sometimes”.

A. Some parents don't think it is responsible (负责任的) parenting.

B. The teenagers, totally lost, have to find their way back home by themselves.

C. And they should learn how to solve problems through activities like “dropping”.

D. Good parents need to find a balance between protecting their children and letting go.

E. The teenagers have fun singing and dancing together and don't want to go back home.

F. In China, some parents try too hard and become "helicopter parents”, which is basically the opposite of "dropping”.

The winners of one of the greatest prizes in the world-the Nobel Prize--were known last October. According to Alfred Nobel1 the prize should go to people who2“the greatest benefit (利益) to humankind”already.

Fourteen greatest people,3 scientists, politicians and authors, won awards in the prize's six fields. Many of the winners have one thing in common: the4 they made dated back years ago. For example, John B. Goodenough, one of the three winners of last year's chemistry prize, is 97,5 person ever to win a Nobel Prize. He and the other two scientists won the prize for6 the lithium-ion batteries(锂离子电池)that we use today in mobile phones, laptops and electric cars. His technology first appeared in the 1970s7 50 years ago.

The reason it took so long for this prize to be announced(宣布) is that it takes time to see the real 8 of a new breakthrough (突破).“Every year, there are lots of claims(声称) of amazing discoveries, and quite a few of them turn out to be not as amazing as everyone thought," said Sven Lidin, former chairman of the Nobel Committee for Chemistry. “We want to make sure that we award those who open the first door into new9insight(见解). The whole process always takes a long time, so10 there is a delay(延迟)."

【题目】

A

Your temperature can affect(影响) how you feel about other people. A study showed that experiencing physical warmth gives people a more positive attitude(积极的态度). For example, if you're holding a cup of hot coffee, you are probably more selfless towards others.

B

About one in 10 people are left-handed. Many people think being left-handed happens for no reason. But. a new study shows that it’s caused by genes. British scientists have found genetic instructions(基因指令)in human DNA. They might cause people to be left-handed at birth. The instructions affect the part of the brain that deals with (处理) language. This might be why left-

handers are better at learning languages.

C

A group of French researchers found that children with older brothers take longer to develop language skills. These children had a two-month delay (延迟) in language development on average(平均) compared to children with older sisters. Researchers think this is because older brothers talk more often in order to draw their parents' attention. Older sisters might talk with their younger sisters or brothers more.

D

Are you a quiet person? Maybe you can try to pretend(假装) to be outgoing. This will make you happier, according to a study by US scientists. They asked 123

people to try more outgoing behaviors, such as talking more and being more active for one week. During a second week, they acted as they usually would. The people said that they felt happier when they tried to behave as if they were outgoing. They didn't feel uncomfortable.
