| Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers (青少年). But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their elder son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. "The door to his room is always shut." Joanns noted. Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. "She used to cuddle up (蜷伏) with me on the sofa and talk," said Mark. "Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something, Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which." Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what's on their minds. "In fact, parents are first on the list." said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. "This completely changes during the teen years." Riera explained. "They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last." Parents who know what's going on in their teenagers'lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them. |
| 1. "The door to his room is always shut" suggests that the son _____. |
| A. is always busy with his studies B. doesn't want to be disturbed (打扰) C. keeps himself away from his parents D. begins to dislike his parents |
| 2. What troubles Tina and Mark most is that _____. |
| A. their daughter isn't as lovely as before B. they can't read their daughter's mind exactly (确切地) C. they don't know what to say to their daughter D. their daughter talks with them only when she needs help |
| 3. Which of the following best explains "the wall of silence" in the last paragraph? |
| A. Teenagers talk a lot with their friends. B. Teenagers do not want to understand their parents. C. Teenagers do not talk much with their parents. D. Teenagers talk little about their own lives. |
| 4. What can be learned from the passage? |
| A. Parents are unhappy with their growing children. B. Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers. C. Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers. D. Parents should try to understand their teenagers. |

| There are thousands of products of all colors and shapes in a supermarket, making you believe that they are worth a try. How? Packaging (包装) is the silent but persuading salesman. There on the shelves, each bottle, can, box, and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer (消费者), so that is buying not only a product but also his belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the "quality" of the product and on how well it sells, because "Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products," as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers' feeling for packaging, noticed. Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw human attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the word "green" today can keep food prices going up. Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. That's why the round yellow M signs of McDonald's are inviting to both young and old. This new consumer response (反应) to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people buy to satisfy both body and soul. |
| 1. According to the passage, ______ seems to be able to persuade a consumer to buy the product. |
| A. the pleasing color of the package B. the special taste of the product C. the strange shape of the package D. the belief in the product |
| 2. If a package or a product is round in shape, it can ______. |
| A. bring excitement to the consumers B. attract the consumers' attention C. catch the eye movement of the consumers D. produce a happy and peaceful feeling |
| 3. "And the word 'green' today can keep food prices going up." This sentence suggests that consumers today are ______. |
| A. starting to notice the importance of new food B. enjoying the beauty of nature more than before C. beginning to like green vegetables D. paying more attention to their healthy |
| 4. It can be inferred from the passage that V8 is a kind of ______. |
| A. vegetable dish B. healthy juice C. iced drink D. red vegetable |

| If you walk slowly through downtown Helsinki (赫尔辛基) during the day, taking in the splendid 19th century buildings, white boats and noise of passing trams (有轨电车), you will start to understand why it is called a city of two colors: white and blue. The sea is always present in Helsinki. When you take a walk over the great open space of the central square, you will hear seabirds screaming. When you take the tram, suddenly and unexpectedly, you are faced with a calm, shining blue sea. You may notice that people in Helsinki do not rush about as in other cities. Instead, they walk along the roads, politely letting other people by. A usual way to see Helsinki for the first time is to start out by boat. You will walk by the elderly women selling fish and vegetables in the market square and find yourself in front of a beautiful park. You may enjoy a pleasant walk in the park for a few hours and then take the tram. Trams are the perfect way to get around in Helsinki. Watching the old houses, parks, theatres, churches, shops, restaurants and people in the streets, you may have a slightly sad film feeling to it. The pale summer nights are another wonder in the city. Following the waterfront (滨水区) of the city after sunset, you couldn't help stopping and listening to the sweet silence, interrupted only by the screaming seabirds and leaving fishing boats. However, in some way Helsinki is also the most modern city in northern Europe. You will surely want to visit the white Glass Palace, the modern art museum, and all those extremely popular cafes and design stores. |
