         The position of children in American family and society is no longer what it used to be. The_1_ family
    in colonial(殖民时期的)North America was mainly concerned with survival and beyond that, its own
    economic prosperity. Thus, children were  2  in terms of their productivity(生产能力), and they played
    the role of producer quite early. Until they fulfilled this role, their position in the family was one of
    subordination(附属).
         With the_3_of the society. the position of children in the family and in the society became more
    important. In the complex and technological society that the United States has become, each_4_must
    fulfill a number of personal and occupational_5_and be in contact with many other members. Therefore,
    viewing children as necessary members of society means that they are_6_more as people in their own
    fight than as those of subordination. This acceptance of children as_7 participants in the family is reflected
    in various laws_8_the rights of children and in the social and public welfare programs.
         This new_9_of children and the frequent contact between the members of society has also  10  an
    increasing interest in child-raising techniques. People today spend much time seeking the proper way to
      11  children. 
         Nowadays, the socialization of the child in the United States is a  12  transaction(事务)between
    parent and child    13  a one-way, parent-to-child training  14  . As a consequence, socializing children
    and   15  with them over a long period of time is for parents a mixture of pleasure, satisfaction, and  
    problems.

         Many people take    1   for granted that black is a colour of bad things while white should always
    mean something good. This may be because in their opinion, black is related     2  darkness and white
    to purity. However, that is   3   always the case. Did you know that the same one colour may mean 
       4    (different) in different places of the world? 
         In   5   English-speaking world, black is the colour of mourning. People wear black clothes at the
    funeral. Red is concerned with danger or bloodshed (流血). Yellow is the word for fear. If you are
    afraid, you are yellow. Yet none of these sayings   6    true outside the English-speaking world. In
    China and Korea white is the colour of mourning. In Russia, China and some other countries, red stands
    for   7   (beautiful), life and excellence. In Italy and Germany, you are yellow with anger, not with fear.  
         Even within the English-speaking area it is not difficult    8   (find) colour contradictions (矛盾). A
    redcap in the United States is a porter in a railway station. In Britain,   9   , a redcap is a military
    policeman. Both names are logical because both men wear red caps. Similarly, the British term for an
    American white collar worker   10   (call) a black-coated worker sometimes.

         Being thirteen has certain problems that only another thirteen-year-old would understand. The biggest,
    I think, is learning to get along well with adults. I have found that when dealing with grown-ups, it is wise
    to remember two things.
        1. Always use your head
        2. Never use your head
          For instance, one day just before supper, my mother sent me to the store for a loaf of whole-wheat
    bread. They didn't have any. When I told my mother, she said, "Well, what kind did you get?" I told her
    I didn't get any. She looked as if I had just announced that I was leaving home for good. "For goodness'
    sake!" She said, "If they hadn't had whole-wheat, you should have got something else! Why don't you
    use your head?"
         Not long after that, she sent me to the store for red oilcloth. They didn't have any, so I bought seven
    yards of purple. I thought it was pretty. Mother didn't. She said, "Who ever heard of purple oilcloth in a
    red kitchen?" I told her I was only trying to use my head. She said. "Well, don't ! And in the future, if you
    can't get what I send you for, don't get anything."
         See what I mean?         
         There are other things that seem a little strange, too. If my father goes out for the evening, he tells me
    to "look after" my mother and sister. But if the family goes out, and I want to stay home, my father won't
    let me. He doesn't feel comfortable if I am home alone. That means I am old enough to "look after" my
    mother and sister but not old enough to "look after" myself.
           Another problem is what to do when you trip over the cat and land with your head in the refrigerator, causing a large lump to appear just over the right eyebrow. In that case, your father could feel free to say with a few choice words. Your sister could shed enough tears to dampen the whole room. Your mother
    could, and probably would, do both. But you? You are thirteen and can't do anything! You are too young
    to curse, and "big boys" don't cry. So you just stand there looking more stupid than usual. But in spite of
    all this I still think thirteen is a wonderful age!

    1. The main idea of the passage is that____.
                          
    A. young children are boring
    B. being thirteen involves too may responsibilities
    C. a thirteen-year-old boy is the sun of the family
    D. thirteen-year-olds have special problems

    2. The author says the biggest problem is_____.   
                       
    A. learning how to use one's head
    B. assuming responsibilities
    C. showing you can be trusted
    D. learning how to get along with grown-ups

    3. The author thinks that his father should allow him to ____.       
                 
    A. go shipping by himself  
    B. stay at home alone
    C. look after the family  
    D. use his head

    4. The author complains that there is no acceptable way for a thirteen-year-old boy to____.

    A. prevent his sister from crying
    B. act when he is in the kitchen
    C. avoid tripping over the cat    
    D. behave when he hurts himself

    5. The author believes being a boy of thirteen is _____.         
               
    A. frustrating   
    B. painful    
    C. delightful    
    D. tiring

         Societies all over the world name places in similar ways. Quite often there is no official naming
    ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an organized
    body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it happens that a place has two names: One
    is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas, old habits died hard,
    and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.
         Many roads and places in Singapore are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered
    by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in
    keeping with traditions in many countries ---- in both the West and the East.
         Another way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to
    promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there
    were originally from the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we see
    some of the roads named in former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see
    Piccadilly Circus- obviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel.
         Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road
    is an interesting example, "Base Basah" means "wet rice" in Malay(马来语). Now why would anyone
    want to name a road "Wet Rice Road"? The reason is simple. During the pioneering days, wet rice
    was laid out to dry along this road.
         A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is "Circular Road" for one. Other
    roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes, like "Paya Lebar Crescent". This road
    is called a crescent(月牙) because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to
    join the main road again.

    1. We learn from Paragraph 1 that _____.

    A. the government is usually the first to name a place
    B. many places tend to have more than one name
    C. a ceremony will be held when a place is named
    D. people prefer the place names given by the government

    2. What does the underlined phrase "die hard" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

    A. Change suddenly.
    B. Change significantly.
    C. Disappear mysteriously.
    D. Disappear very slowly.

    3. Which of the following places is named after a person?

    A. Raffles Place.
    B. Selector Airbase.
    C. Piccadilly Circus.
    D. Paya Lebar Crescent.

    4. Bras Basah Road is named _______.

    A. after a person
    B. after a place      
    C. after an activity
    D. by its shape

    5. What can be inferred from the passage?

    A. Some place names in Singapore are the same as in Britain.
    B. Some places in Singapore are named for military (军事的) purposes.
    C. The way Singaporeans name their places is unique.
    D. Young Singaporeans have forgotten the pioneers.

         There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth
    and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the
    different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
           People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of
    conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all
    the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore,
    they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many
    people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such
    unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing(批评) and being disliked is
    perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be
    strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I
    hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
          Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on
    deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats
    them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper
    and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune,
    nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they
    bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize
    their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without
    worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any
    contact(接触) with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially
    when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.

    1. People who are unhappy _______.

    A. always consider things differently from others
    B. usually are affected by the results of certain things
    C. usually misunderstand what others think or say
    D. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things

    2. The phrase "sour the pleasure of society" most nearly means "_______".
    A. have a good taste with social life
    B. make others unhappy
    C. tend to please others openly    
    D. enjoy the pleasure of life

    3. We can conclude from the passage that _______.

    A. we should pity all such unhappy people
    B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
    C. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
    D. unhappy people can not understand happy persons

    4. If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should _______.

    A. prevent any communication with them
    B. show no respect and politeness to them
    C. persuade them to recognize the bad effects
    D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes

    5. In this passage, the writer mainly _______.

    A. describes two types of people
    B. laughs at the unhappy people
    C. suggests the unhappy people get rid of the habits of unhappiness
    D. tells people how to be happy in life
