Remind children that bad things don’t last. It may sound simple, but the message is extremely important. “Children often don’t have the experience to know that when something bad happens---they lose an important game or their best friend lets them down---it’s not the end of the world,” explains Nancy Leffert, a senior research scientist with the Research Institute, an American adolescents(青少年) and children’s research group. “They think their bad feelings will last for ever, or that one failure will ruin everything.”
Unfortunately, that kind of thinking discourages motivation(動機). “If a child believes that the cause of her upset is lasting, or that nothing she does will make a difference, it decreases her ability to keep on trying.” says Dorothy Rich, president of the MegaSkills Education Center of the Home and School Institute, based in Washington. Any time you can help your child see that a situation is not lasting, that a result can be changed, or that one opinion does not reflect reality, you give her reason to hope.
Case in point: “When my daughter Kathy was eight, art was one of her favorite subjects,” says Beth, a mother of two. “Then she got an art teacher who gave a great deal of praise to one student and barely noticed the rest. Kathy was ready to give up until I explained to her, “Never stop doing your best just because one person doesn’t give you praise.” Beth had to repeat the advice often, and finally her daughter got the message. “Kathy is 12 now, and art is still one of her strongest subjects.”

A. know how to face a failure
B. try their best to avoid a situation of failure

B. “Go ahead. Don’t care what other people think.”

To see the world is one thing; to have someone to share it with is another. Indeed, travel becomes more interesting when you have a travel partner. A travel partner can be a close friend, a family member, a pal you’ve met online, or a business friend.
You can have someone to talk to
Traveling alone is fun, but wouldn’t you feel lonely? Having a travel partner can remove the feeling of loneliness. This is especially true if you can get a travel companion who is very familiar with the place you’re traveling to. You don’t have to ask any information from the locals, and you can increase the time you spend in the country.
One of the major headaches in traveling is the costs involved. You can’t simply ignore the rising price of hotels or plane tickets. You should also think about your daily needs, such as your food. Of course, you can’t simply go back without bringing any souvenirs (紀念品) to your friends and family. All these can ruin your budget. However, when you have a travel friend, you can have someone to share the expenses with.
You can meet a good friend
Having a travel mate is a good way of meeting a new friend or even a lifelong partner. You can never count the number of couples who actually found their way into each other’s heart while traveling together in another country.
You can have someone to watch out for you
When you’re in a foreign land, you’ll never be really safe. You don’t know the rules as well as the culture of the people. A travel will be perfect to remind you of your duties in the country and to watch your back just in case you get lost. So why don’t you find a travel companion now!
Let’s find out how…
1.What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
|
A．To introduce a travel company. |

B．To encourage us to have a travel partner. |

|
D．To tell an interesting experience with a travel partner. |

|
A．You can have someone to share the expenses with |
|
B．You can know the local culture well |
|
C．You can enjoy food with your partner |
|
D．You can save money by bargaining together |
3.Which of the following statements agrees with the author’s opinion?
|
A．Traveling alone is not fun. |
|
B．Buying souvenirs isn’t necessary. |
|
C．Many people fall in love when traveling. |
|
D．It’s better to choose a stranger as a travel partner. |

Teaching my first child, Danae, to share her toys was the biggest challenge. To 36 this, we started inviting other children to play, which could help Danae discover that it’s 37 to share with others – a lesson I needed to 38 myself as well, as it 39 .
One evening Danac had 40 a friend, Natalie, to play with her. Their favorite was a children’s 41 game called Go Fish. That evening, 42 Natalie left, Danae came to me and said, “Mommy, I’d like to give these to Natalie tomorrow. They’re her favorites.”
She help up three cards from the Go Fish game. I tried to 43 that I didn’t want her to give them away because then our 44 wouldn’t be complete. “But I really want her to have them!” Danae 45 . I thought perhaps she didn’t understand that when she gave something away, it was gone 46 . So I tried again, saying, “ 47 you give the cards to her, you can’t 48 them back tomorrow.”
A look of 49 came over Danae’s face. For a moment I was happy that she seemed to 50 . But then she smiled and said. “Well, that’s okay, I want her to have them anyway.”
What could I say to that? I sat 51 for a moment and then I realized I had been trying for so long to 52 her to share. Did it 53 that our Go Fish set would be 54 ? What mattered was that my daughter was learning the 55 of giving, that she was thinking about others instead of herself, and that she was trying to make her friends happy. Isn’t that what life is all about?

科目：高中英語 來源：2012屆度山東省高三9月教學質量檢測（英語） 題型：閱讀理解
If you look for a book as a present for a child, you will be spoiled for choice even in a year when there is no new Harry Potter. J.K. Rowling’s wizard is not alone: the past decade has been a harvest for good children’s books, which has set off a large quantity of films and in turn led to increased sales of classics such as The Lord of the Rings.
Yet despite that, reading is increasingly unpopular among children. According to statistics, in 1997 23% said they didn’t like reading at all. In 2003, 35% did. And around 6% of children leave primary school each year unable to read properly.
Maybe the decline is caused by the increasing availability（可利用性）of computer games. Maybe the books boom（繁榮）has affected only the top of the educational pile. Either way, Chancellor Gordon Brown plans to change things for the bottom of the class. In his pre-budget（預算） report, he announced the national project of Reading Recovery to help the children struggling most.
Reading Recovery is aimed at six-year-olds, who receive four months of individual daily half- hour classes with a specially trained teacher. An evaluation earlier this year reported that children on the scheme made 20 months’ progress in just one year, whereas similarly weak readers without special help made just five months’ progress, and so ended the year even further below the level expected for their age.
International research tends to find that when British children leave primary school they read well, but read less – often for fun than those elsewhere. Reading for fun matters because children who are keen on（熱衷） reading can expect lifelong pleasure and loving books is an excellent indicator（指示物）of future educational success. According to the OECD, being a regular and enthusiastic reader is of great advantage.
1.Which of the following is true of Paragraph 1?
|
A．Many children’s books have been adapted from films. |
|
B．Many high-quality children’s books have been published. |
|
C．The sales of classics have led to the popularity of films. |
|
D．The sales of presents for children have increased. |
2.Statistics suggested that ___.
|
A．the number of top students increased with the use of computers. |
|
B．a decreasing number of children showed interest in reading. |
|
C．a minority of primary school children read properly. |
|
D．a large percentage of children read regularly. |
3.What do we know about Reading Recovery?
|
A．An education of it will be made sometime this year. |
|
B．Weak readers on the project were the most hardworking. |
|
C．It aims to train special teachers to help children with reading. |
|
D．Children on the project showed noticeable progress in reading. |
4.Reading for fun is important because book-loving children ____.
|
A．takes greater advantage of the project. |
|
B．shows the potential to enjoy a long life. |
|
C．is likely to succeed in their education. |
|
D．would make excellent future researchers. |
5.The aim of this text would probably be ____.
|
A．to overcome primary school pupils’ reading difficulty. |
|
B．to encourage the publication of more children’s books. |
|
C．to remind children of the importance of reading for fun. |
|
D．to introduce a way to improve early childhood reading. |

科目：高中英語 來源：2009年普通高等學校招生全國統一考試全國卷I英語試題 題型：閱讀理解
It’s not easy being a teenager（13至19歲青少年）—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 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 clarn up. Instead , let him attempt to solve（解決）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 （隱私）. Never read him his mail or listen in on personal conversions.
Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation（節制）. Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part –time job
1.The main purpose of the text is to tell parents _____________.

A．how to get along with a teenager |
