Last weekend, I was talking about winter vacation plans with a friend when I suddenly realized that this year I should start up an old plan of learning how to skate again.
I’ve always wanted to learn skating. But I didn’t have a proper chance to learn it. When I was young, the small coastal city where I lived had no ice rink (溜冰场). My parents signed me up for classes at a skating school out of town, but I had to catch the early bus on weekends to get there, and it took two hours to go and come back, so I gave it up pretty quickly.
Now is my chance to fulfill my childhood dream! Excited, I started calling skating rinks in Beijing, hoping to sign up for lessons. But some said they only had classes for children. Some said it was too much trouble to teach adults. One receptionist paused after my question and said strangely, “You never learned this as a child?”
I understand if they don’t get many adult learners, but to say that adults are harder to teach than children is such a slap in the face. I thought I lived in a society that encourages people to take on lifelong learning. Is there some unspoken rule that says after one reaches a certain age, he or she is not allowed to learn systematically with a trainer anymore? Are adults not allowed to pursue new hobbies?
There were many things I didn’t have time to properly learn when I was young. I failed to see how important hobbies were, and I was sick of my parents nagging (唠叨) me to do after-school activities. Today, when I want to go out with friends, I find I have so few activities to do with them. And now I’m being told that I can’t even make up for my childhood mistake. It seems that I’ve missed my chance. I missed it 20 years ago. Now, I can only go on being ordinary.
24. The author gave up learning skating when she was young because _____________.
A. she wasn’t interested in it
B. her parents didn’t allow her to learn it
C. her parents couldn’t find any skating schools
D. it was inconvenient for her to take the lessons
25. How did those skating rinks the author called respond to her request?
A. Positively B. Anxiously C. Flexibly D. Disappointingly
26. Which could be the author’s opinion?
A. It’s never too late to learn.
B. It ’s understandable that adults don’t like learning.
C. Adults are harder to teach than kids.
D. Adults had better not pursue new hobbies.
27. The passage is written to express the author’s ___________.
A. fear of going on being ordinary
B. determination to learn skating well
C. regret for losing the chance of pursuing hobbies
D. blame on her parents’ nagging her to do after-school activities
C
We’re not sure where letting children drink wine fits into permissive, authoritarian and authoritative parenting styles, but a research team from the University of New South Wales are trying to find it out.
During their study, researchers discovered that kids who were given alcohol by their parents were more likely to be consuming whole drinks by the time they were 15 or 16, but were far less likely to binge-drink(酗酒).
The researchers analyzed nearly 2,000 Year 7 students and their parents over a four-year period. They measured the teenagers’ consumption of whole drinks, their binge drinking—consuming four or more drinks at a time, as well as who supplied them with the alcohol: their parents, friends, or other adults. The study found that when children were given alcohol from their parents, they were least likely to binge-drink.
But what about the long-reported damage that alcohol can have on developing teenage brains? Lead author of this study, Professor Richard Mattick, says that giving children alcohol at an earlier age could serve as a preventative measure of kids developing alcohol-related problems later in life. “There’s a body of research indicating the adolescent brain is still developing well into the early 20s and alcohol may prevent the best development,” says Professor Mattick. “But also we know parents want to do the right thing for their children and there has been anecdotal evidence that children introduced to alcohol by their parents, as is common in some European cultures, may be less likely to develop problems with alcohol.”
However, there’s one result from the study Professor Mattick can’t ignore: that being given alcohol at an early age by the parents doubled (使加倍) children’s possibility of drinking than their peers (同龄人). “There may be later harms that are not yet obvious, and we’re aware that an early start of drinking is strongly associated with later alcohol use problems in adulthood—putting it off is the best strategy.”
28. According to the researchers, kids supplied with alcohol by their parents will be______.
A. more likely to quit drinking in adulthood
B. less likely to grow into teenage binge-drinkers
C. more likely to grow into binge-drinkers
D. less likely to have whole drinks as teenagers
29. Who affected kids’ drinking behaviors the most in the study?
A. Their parents B. Their friends C. School authorities D. Strangers
30. Which statement will Professor Mattick agree with?
A. The brain stops developing before the age of 20.
B. Alcohol won’t damage the developing teenage brains.
C. Giving kids alcohol at an earlier age may have its benefit.
D. European kids tend to develop problems with alcohol.
31. On Professor Mattick’s advice, parents had better________.
A. let kids drink alcohol at an early age
B. make kids start drinking alcohol late
C. forbid kids to drink alcohol at any age
D. permit kids to drink alcohol at will
D
An arts program is helping students at some of the lowest performing schools in the United States. The program, called Turnaround Arts, aims to help improve low performing schools by adding music and the arts to the usual study program.
Turnaround Arts was launched by Michelle Obama, the wife of former U.S President Barack Obama. Some money for the program comes from the federal government. For the students at participating schools, the program offers a kind of safe place from city neighborhoods. Many of the children come from areas with high crime rates.
Turnaround Arts is a partnership between the federal government and private businesses. Florence Griffith Joyner Elementary is one of the 68 schools in the U.S. participating in the program. Teachers receive special training and look for ways to add music and the arts into all the classes. Turnaround Arts schools partner with musicians and actors who work with the students. Performers have included Yo-Yo Ma, Sarah Jessica Parker, Elton John and Cameron Diaz.
School headmaster Long noted “The children were so excited and have been so excited because it’s not just about — ‘Go to the board. Do the problem. Turn the page. Read the book’; it’s about acting and imitating artists and historic figures.” She noted how some students got the chance to act out the process of a caterpillar (毛虫) becoming a butterfly. “I like to act and I like to sing and I like to dance,” said 10-year-old Kayla Driakare.
Long said that Turnaround Arts was only in its first year at the school, and teachers were already seeing results. “We’ve probably suspended(暂时停学) one kid this year. That’s amazing,” she said. “Parents are getting phone calls to come to family arts night, and it’s not just the naughty calls home. It’s for them to come and learn more about what their children are learning. So our parents’ engagement goes up.”
32. Turnaround Arts launched by Michelle Obama ______.
A. helps students who behave badly get high grades
B. aims to improve teachers’ and students’ performance
C. gets financial support only from the federal government
D. provides students with a chance of having access to musicians and actors
33. What can be inferred from what Principal Long said?
A. Students love this program very much.
B. Students can learn how to act from this program.
C. This program makes students know science well.
D. Students can perform themselves well during the program.
34. Which word can replace the underlined word in the last paragraph?
A. attitude B. proposal C. involvement D. opportuni
