Children model themselves largely on their parents.They do so mainly through identification.Children identify   1   a parent when they believe they have the qualities and feelings that are   2   of that parent.The things parents do and say---and the   3   they do and say to them--therefore strongly influence a child's   4  .However, parents must consistently behave like the type of   5   they want their child to become.

       A parent's actions   6   affect the self-image that a child forms   7   identification.Children who see mainly positive qualities in their   8   will likely learn to see themselves in a positive way.Children who observe chiefly   9   qualities in their parents will have difficulty  10  positive qualities in themselves.Children may   11   their self-image, however, as they become increasingly   12    by peers groups standards before they reach 13.

       Isolated(孤立的) events,   13  dramatic(突然的) ones, do not necessarily have a permanent   14   on a child's  behavior.Children interact such events according to their established attitudes and previous training.Children who know they are loved can,   15  , accept the divorce of their parents' or a parent's early   16  .But if children feel unloved, they may interpret such events   17   a sign of rejection or punishment

       In the same way, all children are not influenced   18   by toys and games, reading matter, and television programs.  19   in the case of a dramatic change in family relations, the   20 of an activity or experience depends on how the child interprets it.

The Writers' Strike:Making the Best of the Worst

       By now you are probably feeling the effects of the TV writers’ strike---the decision of television writers to stop working.With few new TV shows, I present to you a list of shows available on DVD worth your viewing time to keep you going during this painful period.

       Arrested Development is one of the funniest and most clever shows ever to have appeared on network TV.With a most perfect cast(全体演员), the show sets out to cover the daily happenings of the Bluth family, a group of selfish staff who manage to still put family first.

       For more comedy goodness, I recommend one of the sharpest comedies to have ever broadcast, 30 Rock.Starring Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin, two stars with impressive comic timing, the show gives you a glimpse into the making of a sketch show (幽默短剧),similar to Saturday Nigth Live, from the funny writers to the self-centered cast all the way up to the boss.

       If you are looking for something more serious, or perhaps Friday Night lights might be more to your liking.If you are a fan of football, this show is probably for you.If you are a fan of great drama, both soapy and serious, this show is probably for you, If you are a fan of good-looking people, this show is definitely for you .

      If those shows were not enough for you, might I recommend a show with a more heart-pounding excitement? The Amazing Race, after twelve seasons, still remains one of the most exciting shows on TV.Teams of two travel the globe with little to no money and experience far-out adventures in an attempt to remain the last team standing.

1.If you are fond of soapy TV shows, you will probably choose to watch      

       A.Friday Night Lights                        B.30 Rock

       C.the Amazing Race                              D.Saturday Night Live

2.From the DVD shows listed above, we can learn that   

       A.two teams won the amazing race

       B.football fans enjoy the Amazing Race

       C.the Bluths care about their family though selfish

       D.30 Rock and Saturday Night Live have nothing in common

3.The author writes the passage to tell us that       

       A.the effects of the TV writers’ strike are great

       B.the strike puts TV shows in the worst situation

       C.watching DVD is a good choice during the strike

       D.we should choose DVD shows according to our tastes

4.The passage is most probably taken from      

       A.a book review                                  B.a newspaper

       C.a film poster                                    D.a DVD menu

Our spiritual intelligence quotient (精神智商), or SQ, helps us understand ourselves, and live fuller, happier lives.

       Though we're all born with SQ, most of us don’t even realize that we have it.Fortunately, you don't have to sign up for classes to learn how to improve your SQ.Here are some simple steps that can lead you to this new level of understanding.

       Sit Quietly.The process of developing spiritual intelligence begins with solitude (独处) and silence.To tune in to your spirit, you have to turn down the volume (强度) in your busy, noisy, complicated life and force yourself to do nothing at all.Start small by creating islands for silence in your day.In the car, instead of listening to the music, use the time to think.At work, shut the door to your office between meetings, take a few breaths and let them out very, very slowly.Enjoy the stillness in your home after the kids are finally in bed.

       Step Outside. For many people, nature sets their spirit free.Go outside to watch a beautiful sunset.If you are walking with the dog, take the time to admire flower in bloom; follow the light of a bird and watch clouds float overhead.

       Ask Questions of Yourself.Ask open-ended questions, such as "What am I feeling? What are my choices? Where am I heading?"

       But don't expect an answer to arrive through some supernatural form of e-mail."Rarely do I get an immediate answer to my question," says Reverend Joan Carter, a Presbyterian minister in Sausalito, California.“But later that day I suddenly find myself thinking about a problem in a perspective(角度) I never considered before.”

       Trust Your Spirit.While most of us rely on gut(本能的) feeling to realize danger, spiritual intelligence pushes us, not away from, but towards some action that will lead to a greater good.

1.The passage is mainly about          

       A.what your SQ is and in what way it can benefit our life

       B.what your SQ is and in what way it can be improved

       C.the relationship between your SQ and your life

       D.advantages and disadvantages of SQ

2.The underlined phrase "to tune in to your spirit" in the third paragraph probably means to __.

       A.get your spirit relaxed                    B.keep up your spirit

       C.keep seated quietly                             D.change your spirit

3.From the passage, we can know that the most important thing to improve your SQ is     

       A.a peaceful mind                                B.deep thought

       C.spare time and hobbies                       D.good spirits

4.According to the passage, which of the following is True?

       A.Not everyone has SQ.

       B.You have to go to classes to learn how to improve your SQ.

       C.SQ leads us to take wrong actions.

       D.SQ can benefit our life.
