Some people think we should establish a standard with our kids and give them something for meeting this standard as a reward. Punishment is given out in much the same way, but it’s used when certain standards of performance, behavior, etc. have not been met. Kids will often become more dutiful when threatened with punishment, and work harder when promised a valuable reward. The problem is what happens when you aren’t around. To develop responsible, self-disciplined kids, parents need to promote certain ideas. One of these ideas is that everyone pitches in and helps in your family. Another idea is that there can be enjoyment in doing any task if we choose to make it so. When a task is for a worthy cause (our family can enjoy the house more because I helped clean it), this message can have a big impact. This is how we help our kids develop a sense of responsibility. When our children develop this responsibility, they’ll be more disciplined, and they’ll control their emotions better. When we give 1 , 3 , 5 rewards to our kids, we reduce the sense of responsibility. We also create children who may temporarily perform to a certain standard, but who aren’t likely to continue the performance without the carrot hanging in front of them. “Rewards and punishment can change behavior for a while, but they cannot change the person who engages in the behavior,” said Alfie Kohn, author of Punished by Rewards. “Good values have to be grown from the inside out.” Parents can help give their children a sense of shared responsibility and discipline which can last a life time. The real rewards that your children receive will be their readiness for the complex and demanding world that waits for them—a world that rewards those who have learned the secrets of discipline responsibility. So keep those shiny rewarding to yourself, and let your kids find their own rewards. 56. According to the passage, when children are threatened with punishment, ______. A. they may lose interest in their work B. the results will be worse than usual C. they may change to another person D. they may appear to be well-behaved 57. The underlined part “the carrot” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to _____. A. apologies B. aims C. rewards D. doubts 58. According to the passage, Alfie Kohn would agree that parents should ______. A. never pay attention to the way their children do things B. show their children how to behave by example C. help their children establish good values D. never punish their children 59. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Should parents reward their children? B. Do you often reward your children? C. When should parents reward their children? D. What can parents reward their children with? B Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis was one of the most private women in the world, yet when she went to work as an editor in the last two decades of her life, she revealed (展现) herself as she did nowhere else. After the death of her second husband, Greek shipping magnate ( 巨 头 ) Aristotle Onassis, Jacqueline's close friend and former White House social secretary Letitia Baldrige made a suggestion that she consider a career in publishing . After consideration, Jacqueline accepted it. Perhaps she hoped to find there some ideas about how to live her own life .She became not less but more interested in reading. For the last 20 years of her life, Jacqueline worked as a publisher's editor, first at Viking,then at Doubleday, pursuing a late-life career longer than her two marriages combined. During her time in publishing, she was responsible for managing and editing more than 100 successfully marketed books. Among the first books were In the Russian Style and Inventive Paris Clothes. She also succeeded in persuading TV hosts Bill Moyers and Joseph Campbell to transform their popular television conversation into a book, The Power of Myth. The book went on to become an international best-seller. She dealt too, with Michael Jackson as he prepared his autobiography(自 传), Moonwalk. Jacqueline may have been hired for her name and for her social relations, but she soon proved her worth. Her choices, suggestions and widespread social relations were of benefit both to the publishing firms and to Jacqueline herself. In the books she selected for publication, she built on a lifetime of spending time by herself as a reader and left a record of the growth of her mind. Her books are the autobiography she never wrote. Her role as First Lady, in the end, was overshadowed by her performance as an editor. However, few knew that she had achieved so much. 60.We can learn from the passage that Jacqueline________. A. became fond of reading after working as an editor B. gained a lot from her career as an editor C. promoted(促进) her books through social relations D. was in charge of publishing 100 books 61. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means that________. A. Jacqueline's ended up as an editor rather than as First Lady B. Jacqueline's life as First Lady was more colorful than as an editor C. Jacqueline's role as First Lady was more brilliant than as an editor D. Jacqueline was more successful as an editor than as First Lady 62.What can be inferred from the passage? A. Jacqueline's two marriages lasted more than 20 years B. Jacqueline's own publishing firm was set up eventually C. Jacqueline's achievements were widely known D. Jacqueline's views and beliefs were reflected(反映) in the books she edited 63. The passage is mainly________. A. a brief account(叙述) of Jacqueline's career as an editor in her last 20 years B. a brief description of Jacqueline's lifelong experiences C. an introduction of Jacqueline's life both as First Lady and as editor D. an analysis of Jacqueline's social relations in publishing C For five days, Edmonton's Downtown Park is transformed into one huge stage where artists are able to share their talents, and where people are able to celebrate and enjoy themselves .Since its beginning in 1980, the Edmonton Folk Music Festival has been commemorating(纪念)the true feeling of what folk music is all about and that's the traditional togetherness(友爱)that is felt when people gather to share stories and feelings through song. This year will be the sixth year when volunteer Riedel will be offering up her time to the festival. "People coming off a busy spring and summer have a moment of relaxation ," Riedel said. "It's really easy to relax, and it's great seeing family and friends have fun together." These families and friends come from all different kinds of musical tastes. People who take pleasure in Blues are there, so are people who love Bluegrass. This festival does its best to develop everyone's musical interests. With so many years of experience, the festival has become a well-oiled machine, and does whatever it can to make attendees feel as comfortable as possible. There are free water stations throughout the venue( 举 办 地 ) for people to fill up their travel cups. When people buy food, reusable dishes are given a $2 plate fee, but that is returned when the plate is brought back. The festival has completely sold out of tickets, and in record time. But with big names such as Van Morrison and Jakob Dylan, it’s easy to see how that was going to happen. There is no parking area during the festival, so using the Park & Ride system or Edmonton Transit is highly recommended. A bike lock-up area is provided and will be available Thursday until Sunday one hour before the gates open until 45 minutes after the gates close. The Edmonton Folk Music Festival begins on Wednesday, Aug.4 with Van Morrison playing the special donation fund (基金)concert, and will finish up on Sunday, Aug.8. 64. The Edmonton Folk Music Festival is held mainly to ___________. A. remind people of the real sense of folk music B. gather people with different musical tastes C. exhibitive good voices of great talents in folk music D. collect old stories of folk music 65. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. It's hard for people to appreciate Blues. B. Riedel has volunteered for the festival for at least 5years. C. It costs people a little to fill up their cups from water stations. D. People have to pay $2 for a plate of food. 66. We can learn from the passenger that____. A. people can get tickets easily for the festival B. driving one's own car to the festival is highly recommended C. the Edmonton Folk Music Festival is highly recommended. D. bikes are available at the festival from Wednesday to Sunday 67. What would the best title for the passenger? A. Folk Music of Blues B. One Festival Family Gathering C. Festival for family Gathering D. Edmonton’s Downtown Park D Many people influenced various aspects of my life, based on their personal characteristics, accomplishments and values. I have been fortunate to have had numerous teachers and professors who I respect for their patience and intelligence. There are artists that have inspired me by their natural talents and original creativity. I value many political leaders, who have inspired me by their contributions to society, and their ability to change our futures. But of all the people I have known in my life, the person I admire most is my father. As the youngest girl in my family, I always considered myself to be “Daddy's little girl”. While I grew up, it always made me sad to see so many of my friends and neighbors without a father or father-like figure around. This helped me appreciate how my father always takes an interest in his children's lives. In every aspect of my life my father continuously pushes me to excel, so I could accomplish my work outstandingly among my people. Whenever I feel like giving up, or have a question or a concern, I know I can always call on him for advice. From him I have also learned that sometimes you have to put others' needs ahead of your own, but you should make sure you are not taken advantage of by others. His strength seems to be unbreakable during hard times, and he is extremely determined to accomplish anything he sets his mind on, no matter how tiny it is. I highly respect him for how he stands up for what he believes in, and will never back down. I have always admired his open mind, compassion(同情) for people, and sense of understanding. He is a very reserved(保守的) man, but to everybody's surprise, he has a great sense of humor, and always knows how to put a smile on the faces of his wife, his children and his friends. Living in his affection and instruction, I am very proud of my father. He also professes how proud he is of his children, and is still there to support us in whatever we are involved in. 68. Which of the following could not be used to describe the author's father? A. Considerate and humorous. B. Affectionate and open-minded. C. Energetic and helpful. D. Learned and fashionable. 69. Which of the following can best explain the underlined word“excel”? A. Show off. B. Do better than others. C. Be cleverer than others. D. Keep healthy. 70. According to the underlined part, the father was telling the author to _________ A. try to be good to those who were worth making friends with. B. try to take advantage of those who were friendly to her. C. think about others and help them, but not to be made use of in a negative way.

Distance is no longer a big problem for journey with the invention. As the government encourages the Automobile industry, the number of cars in most cities has been increasing for several years. According to a data from the police, in Shanghai nearly every three persons own a car. As a result, traffic jam has become a severe problem in those major cities, especially when people are on the way to or back from work. This has directly and strongly affected people’s daily life and work. Meanwhile, the traffic accidents have caught people’s eyes. And what is even worse, along with the accidents come the pollution and noise. Actually, living in a green way is practical. Either taking a bus or subway or carpooling is a good way to reduce the number of cars on the road. Besides, cycling can replace driving if our house is not so far from where we work. It may take a bit longer but saves energy, avoids traffic jam and improves our health. If possible, we can even walk. In one word, solutions are more than problems. City is a place where people gather. To solve a problem can never depend on one person. However difficult the problem may be, it will certainly become easy when we build a shared vision.查看更多
