A

How men first learned to invent words is unknown, in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters, we call words.　 The power of words, then, lies in their association-the thing they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and the sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increase.　 Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey （表达，传递）his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should, therefore, learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they make our speech silly and vulgar.（粗俗的）21. Which of the following about a real poet is NOT true? A. He is less than a master of words.  B. His style is always charming. C. His poem can move men to tears. D. He can express his ideas in words that sing like music.22.

What is the main idea of the passage? A. The importance of choosing words.

B. Where the real power of words come from.

C. What great writers are like.

Moral（道德的）science is taught as a subject in most schools but with little effect. Perhaps part of the problem lies in the fact that morality is not a science, strictly speaking. It is too much of a social phenomenon, and also has too much of the personal and subjective things mixed within. Besides, morality itself changes with generations. So it is impossible to be defined in a textbook.

I remember sitting through forty minutes of moral lessons, which told stories about little children who never told lies and were rewarded for their goodness. It had little effect and left no impression on me, though.

If moral science has to be taught as a subject in schools, it needs a participatory(参与其中的) approach. When you tell a child about morals, you also have to deal with social norms（规范）and cultural differences. You have to explain that morality can be subjective, and be able to co-exist in society. You will probably have to refer to the morals of the present time.

The best way to tell a child how to live is to show him what is valued. If a child likes his friend, you have to make the child think about why. Once the child notices and recognizes goodness in others, he or she is likely to develop it as well.

In fact, children learn most of their morals by watching people around them. They absorb behavior patterns from teachers and older students. They watch to see what is rewarded and who is punished. They learn on the sports field and through social work. Moral science lessons should simply consist of letting them live and interact, and watch you support correct values and reward good behavior.

28. Which is NOT the reason that moral science is taught in schools but with little effect?

A. Morality doesn’t strictly belong to a science.

B. Morality is more like a social phenomenon.

C. Different generations have different moral ideas.

D. Morality can’t be written down in textbooks.

29. The author describes his own experience of having moral lessons in order to _____.

A. explain telling lies is not moral for little children.

B. advise people should be rewarded for their goodness.

C. prove moral lessons in schools have little effect.

D. show he has no opinions about moral science.

30. When you tell a child about morals, you should________.

A. teach him to share personal moral ideas with others.

B. tell him about social norms and cultural differences.

C. explain that nobody can influence his moral ideas.

D. say that the present morals are likely to be changed.

31. What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A. The best way of teaching children about morals.

B. The value of teachers’ setting a good example.

C. The influence of people’s behavior on morals.

D. The importance of rewarding good behavior.

D

It’s not easy being a teenager(13至19岁青少年)---nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager. You can make your child feel angry, hurt or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you’ll still be there for him when he needs you.

Expect a lot from your child，just not everything. Except for health and safety problems，such as drug use or careless driving，consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something，don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind. The more you insist，the more likely that he’ll calm up. Instead，let him attempt to solve(解决)things by himself. At the same time，remind him that you’re always there for him should he seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenager’s privacy(隐私).Never read his mail
