Parents should stop blaming themselves because there’s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.
I’ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I don’t know what to do with him these days,” she said. “He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.” He hasn’t forgotten them. He’s just decided that he’s not going to use them. She confessed(坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.
Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, “I don’t like your dress; it’s ugly.” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.
“Where did we go wrong?” her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.
小题1: This text is most probably written by ______.
A.A specialist in teenager studies.
B.a headmaster of a middle school
C.a parent with teenage children
D.a doctor for mental health problems
小题2:The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to ______.
A.the change from good to bad that’s seen in a child
B.the way that parents often blame themselves
C.the opinion that a child has of his parents
D.the advice that parents want their children to follow
小题3:The boy on the sofa would most probably be described as ______.
A.lazyB.quietC.unusualD.rude
小题4:From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters ______.
A.pay no attention to them
B.are too busy to look after them
C.have come to hate them
D.feel helpless to do much about them
小题5:What is the author’s opinion about the sudden change in teenage children?
A.Parents have no choice but to try to accept it.
B.Parents should pay still more attention to the change.

Devra Davis, an epidemiologist(皮肤病专家) who has worked for the University of Pittsburgh, has published a book about mobile phone radiation(辐射)"Disconnect." Davis studies how often brain cancer happens during different age groups. She finds a big increase in brain cancer in the 20-to-29 age group and a drop for the older people.
Children are more easily hurt by radiation than grown-ups, Ms. Davis and other scientists point out. But no studies have yet been finished on cell phone radiation and children, she says.
Henry Lai, a research professor, began lab radiation studies in 1980 and found that mice exposed to(暴露在) radiofrequency(电波频率)radiation had destroyed DNA in their brains.
Ms. Davis recommends using wired earphones(有线耳机)or the phone"s speaker. (2)Children should send text messages rather than call, she said, and pregnant(***的) women should keep phones away from their bodies.

Light travels at a speed which is about a million times faster than the speed of sound. You can get some idea of this difference by watching the start of a race. If you stand some distance(距离) away from the starter, you can see smoke from his gun before the sound reaches your ears.
This great speed of light produces some strange facts. Sunlight(太阳光) takes about 8 minutes to reach us. If you look at the light of the moon tonight, remember that the light rays left the moon 1.3 seconds before they reached you. The nearest star is so far away that the light that you can see from it tonight started to travel towards you four years ago at a speed of nearly 2 million km. per minute. In some cases, the light from one of tonight’s stars had started on its journey to you before you were born.
Thus, if we want to be honest, we can’t say, “The stars are shining tonight.” We have to say instead, “The stars look pretty. They were shining four years ago, but their light has only just reached the earth.”
小题1:Light speed is ______ sound speed.
A.as fast as
B.a million times slower than
C.about millions of times faster than
D.about a million times faster than
小题2: If you stand 200 meters away from a man who is firing a gun to start a race, you will find out that ______.
A.you can hear the sound before you see the smoke
B.the sound does not travel as fast as light
C.the sound will reach you before the man fires
D.sound travels about a million times faster than light
小题3:Sunlight obviously(显然的) ______ than the light of the moon.
A.has to travel a greater distance
B.moves less quickly
C.travels much more quickly
D.is less powerful
小题4: The scientific way of saying "The stars are shining tonight" should be ______.

The earth is our home. We must take care of it. Life today is easier than it was       years ago, but it has brought some new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution(污染). We can see it, smell it, drink it and even      it. Man has polluted the        . The more people, the more pollution.Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so      people. When the land was used up (用光), the river was not clean in a place,man went to      place. Now man is slowly polluting the whole world      pollution is still the most serious, it’s bad for      things in the world.Many countries don’t le t people burn      for air in houses and factories in the city. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of      pollution. It’s caused by heavy traffic. People say it’s      to ride bikes. When you are      , there is no pollution. But even in developed countries, most people don’t go to work by bike. It’s not     bikes are expen sive or people are tired if they ride to work. It’s because the number of cars on the roads becomes larger. So more people      their bikes and go to work by cars,  then things are getting      . We should have special roads only for bikes and make it      difficult and expensive for drivers to take their cars into the city that they will go back to use their bikes.
