Today’s children are the “result” of the modern society. Our parents have jobs that keep them busy almost all day long. They only have a free day in a week. This doesn’t allow them to keep an eye on their children.
On the other hand, the modern society gives more freedom to the children than they could “handle”. As a child, you don’t know how to grow up by yourself until you reach a certain age. That is why you need school and parents to be by your side all the time. If you don’t have either of them you may make a lot of mistakes. The social system of the modern society is very lenient especially with the children.
Most of the children today are rebels (判逆者). They are rude. They are given too much freedom by their families. This is their parent’s mistake. They ought to know that the freedom they give to their children is misunderstood.
For example it is a bad thing for a 17 – year – old child to go out in the evening on weekends. Parents are also guilty of the way their children show up in the street or at school. The same guilt belongs to the teaching system as well. Pupils shouldn’t be allowed to dress like they were on a fashion presentation at school.
Another important fact we can think of regarding the freedom of children is their free will of spending money. Parents shouldn’t allow their children to spend money on whatever they want.
I think children are given too much freedom not only by their parents, but also by the society. The latter is more to be blamed!
小题1:The writer implies that parents’ busy lifestyle         .
A.makes their children become independent
B.may lead to a tense parent – child relationship

试题分析:本文主要讲述了现代社会对孩子过去宽容,给孩子的自由太多,导致孩子的教育方面出了很多的问题。
小题1:D 推理题。根据第一段Our parents have jobs that keep them busy almost all day long. They only have a free day in a week. This doesn’t allow them to keep an eye on their children说明父母没有时间照看孩子,让孩子的成长遇见了很多的问题,成为叛逆的一代,故D项正确。
小题2:B 推理题。根据下一句They are given too much freedom by their families.说明现在的孩子被给了太多的自由,家庭社会对孩子的要求不高,不够严格。故B正确。
小题3:C 推理题。根据文章倒数第三段最后2行Pupils shouldn’t be allowed to dress like they were on a fashion presentation at school.说明在现在的学校里,孩子想怎么穿衣服就怎么穿。这样的事情不应该被允许,故他认为学生应该穿校服,故C正确。
小题4:A 推理题。根据文章第二段On the other hand, the modern society gives more freedom to the children than they could “handle”.说明现在的社会对孩子太宽容是孩子犯错误的主要原因,故社会环境是孩子出问题的主要原因。故A正确。

举一反三
After an earthquake or any similar disaster, parents and teachers need to help children overcome the effects of this frightening and sometimes devastating ( 毁灭性的) experience. Psychologists (心理学家)say that if children go through a disturbing event before the age of ten, they are three times as likely to suffer psychological problems as teenagers. After a disaster children may become easily upset, shy, aggressive , or afraid of wind, rain, noises, or darkness. They may have trouble letting go of their parents and resist going to school or daycare. Some children may even feel guilty thinking that they somehow caused the disaster through their bad behavior.  Because of such common reactions, parents and others should begin as soon after the event as possible helping these children. 
Some suggestions include talking to the children about what happened, letting the children express their own feelings, spending extra time with them doing activities together and reassuring (使放心)them that you love them and won"t leave them. For some children expressing themselves through drawing pictures or writing can be useful. Do everything possible to help children get back to a normal routine; however, don"t be afraid to "spoil" these children for a while after the disaster.  Let them have extra privileges (特权)and more attention than usual.  Encourage the children to grieve (悲痛)after a loss. It should be OK for them to cry. Caring families and friends can do much to heal children victims of disasters.
小题1:This passage is mainly about_______.
A.how to help traumatized(心理受到创伤的)children to get over

C.the psychological problems children before ten are likely to suffer

Kindergarten outside? Yes, indeed. It’s part of a growing worldwide trend toward outdoor education. The schools are called forest kindergartens.
The numbers are small so far in the U.S., but the idea is well established in Europe, with schools in Scotland, England, and Switzerland. By far the most such schools are in Germany, which has more than 400 forest kindergartens.
Some schools feature several hours of outdoor schooling. This is certainly the case with the Waldorf School of Saratoga Springs. Children there will be venturing out on the nearby Hemlock Trail to learn more about the natural world. Some lessons are focused on nature; others are academic topics delivered in a natural setting. In all cases, students are active-not sitting at desks or on mats on the floor but walking, running, jumping, solving problems like how to get the mud off the bottoms of their shoes before their parents find out.
Seriously, the focus is on activity at these schools. Studies have shown that children’s immune systems actually get stronger after all of the outdoor activity, and that graduates of forest kindergartens show a higher ability to learn when they progress through their academic careers.
Other schools are all outdoors, all the time. This is the case with the Cedar Song Nature School, on Vashon Island, Washington. Students at this school spend their whole three–hour day outdoors, in a private five-acre forest, doing all kinds of physical activities.
At these forest kindergartens, students learn science by observing and doing it, learn math by applying it to the natural world around them, learn letters and words by putting them together using sights and sounds. These students learn how to get along with one another, individually and in a group. They also develop healthy levels of self-confidence.
Nowadays many children become obese(肥胖的) because of sedentary(久坐的) activities like watching television and playing video games. These outdoor schools give children chances to learn just as much, if not more, from opening their eyes to the real world around them.
小题1:What do we know about forest kindergartens?
A.The first one was created in England.B.They are very popular in Germany.
C.There are 400 all over the world.D.Their number is huge in the U.S.
小题2:What is special about forest kindergartens?
A.Kids learn more than those at ordinary kindergartens.
B.Students go outside when weather permits.
C.They value activity very much.
D.They are situated in forests.
小题3:The main difference between the Waldorf School and Cedar Song Nature School lies in______.
A.the subjectsB.the activities
C.the outdoor timeD.the teaching methods
小题4:Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A.Get close to natureB.A new trend of education
C.Forest kindergartens are popularD.Outdoor education benefits kids a lot

Everyone has good days and bad days.
Sometimes, you feel as if you’re on top of the world and all the questions on your maths test might seem easy. But occasionally you feel horrible, and you lose things and cannot focus on our schoolwork.
For more than 20 years, scientists have suggested that high self-esteem(自尊) is the key to success.Now, new research shows that focusing just on building self-esteem may not be helpful. In some cases, having high self-esteem can make people less likeable or more upset when they fail in something.
“Forget about self-esteem,” says Jennifer Crocker, a psychologist at the University of Michigan, US. “It’s not the important thing.”
Feeling good
Crocker’s advice may sound a bit strange. After all, feeling good can be good for you.Studies show that people with high self-esteem are less likely to be depressed, anxious, shy, or lonely than those with low self-esteem.
However, after reviewing about 18,000 studies on self-esteem, Roy Baumeister, a psychologist at Florida State University, has found that building up your self-esteem will not necessarily make you a better person.
He believes that violent people often have the highest self-esteem of all. He also said:“ There’s no evidence that kids with high self-esteem do better in school.”
Problems
All types of people have problems. People with high self-esteem can have big egos(自我) that can make them less likeable, said Kathleen Vohs, a psychology professor at Columbia University.People with high self-esteem tend to think more of themselves, VOhs says. People with low self-esteem are more likely to rely on their friends when they need help.
What to do
Researchers say it is best to listen to and support other people. Find positive ways to contribute to society. If you fail in something, try to learn from the experience. “The best therapy(药方) is to recognize your faults,” Vohs says. “It’s OK to say, ‘I’ m not so good at that,’ and then move on.”
小题1:What does the underlined part “on top of the world” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Quite helpful.B.Extremely happy.C.Very unlucky.D.Rather upset.
小题2:The conclusion drawn from the new research shows that high self-esteem_____.
A.is not important at allB.makes people more likeable
C.may not be the key to successD.helps you do better at school
小题3:Which of the following is TRUE according to Vohs?
A.Feeling good doesn’t mean you lead a happy life.
B.People with high self-esteem always seek others’ help.
C.People with high self-esteem tend to be selfish.
D.People with low self-esteem are often more popular.
小题4:We can infer from the text that the best therapy mentioned in the last paragraph is mainly for people_____.
A.with high self-esteemB.with low self-esteem
C.who contribute significantly to societyD.who are in need of support

For many young people, having to attend school with a parent would be their worst nightmare. However, Senior 1 student Li Qinmei is happy taking her father with her as long as she can go to classes. He is disabled and unable to take care of himself.
The 16-year-old country girl in Zhucheng, Shandong Province has experienced one disaster after another in her short life. Li lost her mother at three. Four years later, her father became paralyzed after a tractor accident. At 12, her misfortune returned with the death of her grandma. Since then she has been forced to shoulder all the responsibility for her broken family.
Li learnt to cook and managed to live a life with an allowance of only 24 yuan per month. The most difficult thing she had to deal with was helping her father bathe, dress and use the toilet as he could hardly move.
"I felt embarrassed, and so did my dad. It was really hard at the beginning," she recalled.
During most of her junior school years, Li went to classes only once a month as her father was seriously ill at the time.

Li admitted that the difficulties in life had taught her to be strong.
"I believe I will go on and continue my studies at a good university," she said, in a confident tone.
Her teacher Mr. Wang has the same belief. Li made great progress in the recent monthly exams. "She works hard and is always eager to excel . It"s not easy for her never to be late for school, but she has managed to make it work," Wang said.

Do you want to live another 100 years or more? Some experts say that scientific progress will one day help humans to last tens of years longer than what is now seen as the natural limit(限制)of the human life span(寿命).
“ I think we are knocking at the door of immortality (永生),” said Michael Zey, a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future. “ I think by 2075 we will see it and that’s a conservative estimate(保守估计).”
At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said progress in using genes as well as nanotechnology(纳米技术)makes it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past. “ There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years,” he said. “ Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years.”
However, many scientists who research into aging are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.
Scientists also disagree on what kind of life the super aged might live. “It remains to be seen whether you could be healthy enough to have good quality of life when you pass 120.” said Leonard Poon, director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Center. “ At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all.”
小题1:By saying “ we are knocking at the door immortality”, Michael Zey means_____.
A.they believe that there is no limit of living
B.they are sure to find the truth about long living
C.they have got some ideas about long living
D.they are able to make people live beyond the present life span
小题2:Donald Louria’s attitude toward long living is that_____.
A.people can live from 120 to 180
B.it is still doubtful how long humans can live
C.the human body is designed to last about 120 years
D.it is possible for humans to live longer in the future
小题3:The underlined “ it” (Para. 4) refers to_____.  
A.a great push
B.the idea of living beyond the present life span
C.the idea of living from 200 to 300
D.the conservative estimate
小题4:What would be the best title for this text?
A.Living longer or not
B.Science, technology and long living
C.No limit for human life
D.Healthy lifestyle and long living
