题型:不详难度:来源:
Judy Kaczynski is president of an anti-bullying group called Bully Police USA.Her daughter Tina was the victim of severe bullying starting in middle school in the state of Minnesota.She said, "Our daughter was a very outgoing child.She was a bubbly personality, very involved in all kinds of things, had lots of friends.And over a period of time her grades fell completely.She started having health issues.She couldn"t sleep.She wasn"t eating.She had terrible stomach pains.She started clenching her jaw and grinding her teeth at night.She didn"t want to go to school."
Bullying is defined as negative behavior repeated over time against the same person. It can involve physical violence.Or it can be verbal — for example, insults or threats.Spreading lies about someone or excluding a person from a group is known as social or relational bullying.
And now there is cyberbullying, which uses the Internet, e-mail or text messages.It has easy appeal for the bully because it does not involve face-to-face contact and it can be done at any time.
The first serious research studies into bullying were done in Norway in the late 1970s.The latest government study in the United States was released last year.It found that about one-third of students age twelve to eighteen were bullied at school.
Susan Sweater is a psychologist at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and co-director of the Bullying Research Network.She says schools should treat bullying as a mental health problem to get bullies and victims the help they need.She says bullying is connected to depression, anxiety and anti-social behavior, and bullies are often victims themselves.

What accounts for its popularity? The show features a new generation of Chinese fathers, who, as part of the country’s new middle class, have faced more problems with modern child-raising techniques such as taking an active role with their children.
Part of the appeal of the show is the chance to throw a glance at the lives of Chinese celebrities (名流) and their children. Audiences are interested in watching the failed attempts of celebrity dads making dinner, doing hair, and disciplining (管教) children -- tasks often left to mothers in a society still influenced by the saying that “men rule outside and women are inside.” “In traditional Chinese culture, fathers are strict and mothers are kind. But on the show, we see fathers who are much gentler on their kids and more involved in their upbringing, ” said Li Minyi, an associate professor. “This show raises an important question for modern Chinese society -- what is the role of fathers in today’s China?”
After each episode (集) goes to air, the Chinese internet explodes with comments on each celebrity"s parenting style.
Actor Guo Tao tries to communicate with his son, Shitou, but is seen as a more traditional Chinese father, and has been criticised online for being too harsh. Zhang Liang, a supermodel, is an audience favorite for treating his son, Tiantian, more like a friend. The show’s most famous celebrity, Lin Zhiying, a film star, was originally praised as patient with his son Kimi. But as the season progresses, fans begin to criticise him for raising a spoiled, undisciplined boy. Director Wang Yuelun is at a complete loss when it comes to care of his daughter’s hair.
Even the People"s Daily is pleased with the success of the show.
小题1:Sponsorship rights for the show’s first season were sold for about______.
A.312 million yuan | B.50 million yuan |
C.31 million yuan | D.600 million yuan |
A.gives audiences the chance to raise the star"s children themselves |
B.invites some famous film stars to take part in it |
C.lets people think about the role of fathers in modern families |
D.raises people"s concern about women"s role in the society |
A.careless | B.strict | C.clumsy | D.kind |
A.Guo Tao | B.Zhang Liang | C.Lin Zhiying | D.Wang Yuelun |
Never giving up is the key to make our dreams come true. We may fail from time to time, but we can learn from failure, correct our mistakes and try again until we achieve our goals. Our life is like a long journey which is not all roses. It sometimes has wind and rain. We believe rainbows will appear after storms.
Cooperation is also necessary. Everyone likes a person who is good at cooperating with others. Besides, in our society most problems can"t be solved by one person alone. Cooperation is becoming one of the most important ways for people living in the developing society.
At the same time, we should learn to examine our abilities because it helps us know our advantages and disadvantages as well as get a full control of ourselves. Then we may be confident enough to face challenges.
Follow the suggestions above, and our dreams are sure to come true.
小题1:How many suggestions of making dreams come true are mentioned in this passage?
A.One. | B.Two. | C.Three. | D.Four. |
A.never giving up our dreams | B.our life |
C.a long journey | D.learning from failure |
A.The Chinese Dream |
B.Cooperation is Necessary |
C.Examine Our Abilities |

(CNN) -- Democrats and Republicans were unable to resolve (解决) their differences over Obamacare (奥巴马医改计划)and now the government is shut down. The two previous shutdowns — 1995 and early 1996 — cost the country $1.4 billion. But what will the shutdown mean for you? Here are 7 ways the government shutdown will affect you.
7. Vacation all I ever wanted: Need to get away? Well, you can’t. At least not to national parks. Or to national zoos. Or to national museums. They"ll be closed. Were you thinking more along the lines of a trip to France? If you don’t already have a passport, you might not get your blue book in time. The last time the government shut down, 200,000 applications for passports went unprocessed.
6. If you drive a car, I"ll tax the street: You may be thinking, “No functioning government, no need to pay taxes.” Think again. The Man would continue to collect taxes. U.S. bonds would still be issued. And other essential banking functions will go on.
5. Wait a minute, Mr. Postman: You know that whole “Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night” thing? Apparently, the U.S. Postal Service works through shutdowns as well. Sorry, you won’t catch a break from the junk mail.
4. I want a new drug: Oh, the irony (讽刺的). Republicans still want to defund, delay or otherwise withdraw gradually at Obamacare in exchange for funding the government. But the health care act at the center of this storm would continue its process during a shutdown. That is because its funds aren’t dependent on the congressional budget (预算) process.
3. Pass the ammunition (军火): Not so fast. A shutdown would affect the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Translation: That gun permit you wanted processed won’t happen anytime soon if this goes on for a while.
2. Money (that"s what I want): Well, if you owned a small business and needed a loan from the government, you would have to wait, depending on how long this lasts. If you were planning to buy a house and needed a federal loan, you would have to wait.
1. I"m proud to be an American: Perhaps the biggest hit would be to the collective psyche (下意识心理). America is the largest economy in the world and a beacon for how democracy ought to work. A recent CNN Research Corporation found that 51% would blame Republicans for the shutdown. The United States has operated without a budget since 2009 and has avoided a government shutdown with last-minute deals. Not only did the government run out of money on Tuesday, but the nation is set to hit its borrowing limit and potentially default on its debt in mid-October. Together, they serve as a double whammy (打击).
小题1:Which is the most probably meaning of the underlined word?
A.Raise some money. | B.Take the money back. |
C.Borrow some money. | D.went on a strike. |
A.Apply for a gun permit. | B.Apply for a new passport. |
C.Apply for a loan. | D.Pay taxes. |
A.Once. | B.Twice. | C.Three times. | D.Not mentioned. |
A.The government of America ran out of money. |
B.The government of America is on debts. |
C.America is set to hit the borrowing limit of its debts. |
D.The American government ran out of money and may fail in repaying its debts. |
The American self-image is spread with the golden glow of opportunity. We think of the United States as a land of unlimited possibility, not so much a classless society but as a place where class is mutable—a place where brains, energy and ambition are what counts, not the circumstances of one"s birth.
The Economic Mobility Project, an ambitious research led by Pew Charitable Trusts, looked at the economic fortunes of a large group of families over time, comparing the income of parents in the late 1960s with the income of their children in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Here is the finding: "The "rags to riches" story is much more common in Hollywood than on Main Street. Only 6 percent of children born to parents with family income at the very bottom move to the top.
That is right, just 6 percent of children born to parents who ranked in the bottom of the study sample, in terms of income, were able to bootstrap their way into the top . Meanwhile, an incredible 42 percent of children born into that lowest are still stuck at the bottom, having been unable to climb a single rung of the income ladder.
It is noted that even in Britain---a nation we think of as burdened with a hidebound class system-children who are born poor have a better chance of moving up. When the studies were released, most reporters focused on the finding that African-Americans born to middle-class or upper middle-class families are earning slightly less, in inflation-adjusted dollars, than did their parents.
One of the studies indicates, in fact, that most of the financial gains white families have made in the past three decades can be attributed to the entry of white women into the labor force. This is much less true for African-Americans.
The picture that emerges from all the quintiles, correlations and percentages is of a nation in which, overall, "the current generation of adults is better off than the previous one", as one of the studies notes.
The median income of the families in the sample group was $55,600 in the late 1960s; their children"s median family income was measured at $71,900. However, this rising tide has not lifted all boats equally. The rich have seen far greater income gains than have the poor.
Even more troubling is that our nation of America as the land of opportunity gets little support from the data. Americans move fairly easily up and down the middle rungs of the ladder, but there is "stickiness at the ends" —four out of ten children who are born poor will remain poor, and four out often who are born rich will stay rich.
小题1:What did the Economic Mobility Project find in its research?
A.Children from low-income families are unable to bootstrap their way to the top. |
B.Hollywood actors and actresses are upwardly mobile from rags to riches. |
C.The rags to riches story is more fiction than reality. |
D.The rags to riches story is only true for a small minority of whites. |
A.perfect its self-image as a land of opportunity |
B.have a higher level of upward mobility than Britain |
C.enable African-Americans to have exclusive access to well-paid employment |
D.encourage the current generation to work as hard as the previous generation |
A.The US is a land where brains, energy and ambition are what counts. |
B.Inequality persists between whites and blacks in financial gains. |
C.Middle-class families earn slightly less with inflation considered. |
D.Children in lowest-income families manage to climb a single rung of the ladder. |
A.Social Upward Mobility. |
B.Incredible Income Gains. |
C.Inequality in Wealth. |
D.America Not Land of Opportunity. |
Many Chinese cities have been filled with Christmas neon lights,Christmas songs,Christmas trees,and the images of“Santa Claus”in recent days.As a matter of fact,foreign festivals are becoming more popular than certain traditional Chinese festivals among the Chinese people,particularly the youth.“Certain traditional festivals have died out because people have forgotten their spiritual meanings,”said noted writer Feng Jicai.More and more Chinese people are beginning to exchange gifts on Valentine"s Day and Christmas.However,many of them know nothing about Chinese New Year pictures or sugarcoated figurines(小糖人),and have never heard suona music.Certain folk customs on the Dragon Boat Festival,Tomb Sweeping Day,and other traditional festivals have gradually disappeared.Under such circum-stances,even the“Chinese Fortune Grandpa”is unlikely to defeat“Santa Claus”.
However,it is not a bad thing to some extent.It constantly reminds people to restore the“true
face”of traditional festivals.China has listed traditional Tomb Sweeping Day,Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival as legal holidays,which brings more paid leaves to the public,and helps to awake the public awareness of traditional festivals.
In modern society,festival is a carrier of culture and its meaning largelydepends on their understandings and usages by people.Compared with foreign festivals,traditional Chinese festivals are not inferior (次于) in cultural meanings,but lack of fashion sought by modern people.If people do not appreciate the historical culture contained by traditional festivals,and only take pleasure-seeking as the most important,the significance of traditional festivals will fade away and the inheritance (继承) of fine traditional culture will be cut off.
小题1:The second paragraph implies that______________________.
A.traditional festivals should co-exist with foreign festivals |
B.all the Chinese festivals are disappearing in the near future |
C.western festivals are constantly impacting on our festivals |
D.the Chinese people have the public awareness of traditional festivals |
A.an image designed by the Chinese people will be displayed |
B.many foreigners know nothing about Chinese festivals |
C.the Chinese gift-giver was intended to symbolize traditional culture |
D.the Chinese are beginning to exchange gifts on the Mid-Autumn Festival |
A.traditional festivals are out of fashion now |
B.the historical culture is more difficult to understand |
C.western festivals contain more cultural meanings |
D.the inheritance will cut off their contact with western festivals |
A.Gone are Chinese Traditional Festivals |
B.True Face of Chinese Traditional Culture |
C.Foreign Festivals Popular with Chinese |
D.Chinese Fortune Grandpa VS.Santa Claus |
