There’s nothing like a beautiful summer dayblue skies, warm breezes, birds singing lie back and dream about your future. You have the world before you.Allow yourself to dream, and think big big as the sky. The world’s greatest achievers are some of the best dreamers. Walt Disney, Amelia Earhart, Henry Ford, Susan B. Anthony, Andrew Carnegie, and hundreds more, all had dreams.Then take the first step to make your dreams come true. Form. a goal and accomplish it. Create a new goal and accomplish it. Every time you set and achieve a goal, you’ll move one step closer toward building the future you want for yourself.When you achieve a target you’ve set for yourself, it helps build your self-confidence and teaches you self-discipline. Each goal you achieve will boost your confidence and help you set bigger goals for your future. Soon, you’ll find yourself moving on a path to success.Steps for reaching your dreams:It can be as easy as starting a savings account at your credit union. Give yourself a goal. First, what do you want to save for? It might be a new CD player, your first car, or college.Next, where will your savings come from? Will you use a portion of your allowance, or can you think of other ways to earn money?It’s okay to set small goals at first. In fact, that may be wise so you begin to understand the rewards and personal satisfaction that come from achieving your goals.You can keep your goals secret or share them with someone close to you who may help you stay on track.Another important step is to write your goal on paper. Post your written goal (or a photo of it) in your room where you can see it regularly. This will remind you of what you are working toward.Give yourself a pat on the back when you’ve achieved your goal and start thinking about your next personal challenge.Before you know it, you’ll be living your dreams.(1)What is the first step for reaching your dreams?A、To start a savings account.B、To give yourself a goal.C、To save money for something you want.D、All of the above.(2)To make dreams come true, how many steps are mentioned in the passage?A、Three.B、Four.C、Six.D、Seven.(3)Andrew Carnegie and Henry Ford are mentioned to show ___________.A、they all had dreamsB、they are greatest achievers in the worldC、we should dream and think bigD、we are achievers if we are dreamers(4)According to the passage, you praise and encourage yourself when you _________.A、have formed a goalB、have accomplished a goalC、build your self-confidenceD、are planning a personal goal(5)You’ll be living your dreams〃 means you’ll __________.A、live in your dreamsB、be dreamersC、reach your dreamsD、believe your dreams
Passage FourFriends become a child’s chosen family. If his social life is going well, he gains confidence. If he has trouble connecting, it hurts and can make him feel sad and withdrawn and lonely.1. Help your child communicate. Naturally outgoing kids have an easier time expressing their interest in other children than shy ones do. But you can help build this skill through practice. Ask your child about his favorite games and toys. Praise him for specifics when he shows interest in other people:” You were so nice to let Roger talk about his little dog. I am proud of you.”2. Keep play short and sweet. Parents should keep early play date short, so no one gets too tired and everyone has fun. Schedule the next one soon after that, so kids can quickly build on their comfort foundation.3. Know your child. If your child is bossy, tale with him and agree beforehand on which toys will be shared and which ones should be put away because your child just can’t seem to share them. If you have a shy child, match him with a younger child so he has a chance to be the leader.4. Help your child help others. Encourage your child to be a better friend by helping him include others in play. If you see someone being excluded, don’t ignore it. This is an opportunity to work on your child’s ability to understand others. “Rachel is beingleft out. That must make her feel very sad. Can you think of a way to include her in the game?”5. Help your kids help themselves. If your child is the one who’s being ignored or treated badly, teach him to speak up.48. Which word can best describe a child who is good at connecting?A Bossy B Confident C Proud D Showy
Part BDirections：You are going to read a list of headings and a text about what parents are supposed to do to guide their children into adulthood. Choose a heading from the list A——G that best fits the meaning of each numbered part of the text （41——45）。 The first and last paragraphs of the text are not numbered. There are two extra headings that you do not need to use. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. （10 points）How Can a Parent Help？Mothers and fathers can do a lot to ensure a safe landing in early adulthood for their kids. Even if a job's starting salary seems too small to satisfy an emerging adult's need for rapid content， the transition from school to work can be less of a setback if the start-up adult is ready for the move. Here are a few measures， drawn from my book Ready or Not， Here Life Comes， that parents can take to prevent what I call “work-life unread ness”。41.You can start this process when they are 11 or 12. Periodically review their emerging strengths and weaknesses with them and work together on any shortcomings, like difficulty in communicating well or collaborating. Also, identify the kinds of interests they keep coming back to, as these offer clues to the careers that will fit them best.42.Kids need a range of authentic role models-as opposed to members of their clique, pop stars and vaunted athletes. Have regular dinner-table discussions about people the family knows and how they got where they are. Discuss the joys and downsides of your own career and encourage your kids to form. some ideas about their own future. When asked what they want to do, they should be discouraged from saying “I have no idea.” They can change their minds 200 times, but having only a foggy view of the future is of little good.43.Teachers are responsible for teaching kids how to learn； parents should e responsible for teaching them how to work. Assign responsibilities around the house and make sure homework deadlines are met. Encourage teenagers to take a part-time job Kids need plenty of practice delaying gratification and deploying effective organizational skills, such as managing time and setting priorities.45.They should know how to deal with setbacks, stresses and feelings of inadequacy. They should also learn how to solve problems and resolve conflicts, ways to brainstorm and think critically. Discussions at home can help kids practice doing these things and help them apply these skills to everyday life situations.What about the son or daughter who is grown but seems to be struggling and wandering aimlessly through early adulthood？ Parents still have a major role to play, but now it is more delicate. They have to be careful not to come across as disappointed in their child. They should exhibit strong interest and respect for whatever currently interests their fledging adult （as na？ve or ill conceived as it may seem） while becoming a partner in exploring options for the future. Most of all, these new adults must fell that they are respected and supported by a family that appreciates them.41.___________A. Set a Good Example for Your KidsB. Build Your Kid's Work SkillsC. Place Time Limits on Leisure ActivitiesD. Talk about the Future on a Regular BasisE. Help Kids Develop Coping StrategiesF. Help Your Kids Figure Out Who They AreG.

In a world where self-gratification is emphasized,empathy is in short supply but high demand Here,'s how to teach your kids how to have empathy.Empathy is one of those strange qualities-some thing almost everyone wants,but few know how to truly give or receive it.this is all the more reason to teach the next generation what it means to have empathy for those around them 1.While some children are gifted with naturally kind hearts,in most cases kids need to see empathy modeled by the adults around them.It begins with the way parents relate to their children.Parents who show an interest in the things that matter to their kids and respond to emotions in a positive and caring way are teaching the skill of empathy 2.When children have their emotional needs met,two things happen They learn how to meet the emotional needs of others and they are anchored in what they are receiving,meaning that they are secure enough to give to others when the need arises but first they need to receive.An empty jug cannot fill a cup.3.There is nothing like a real life example to model what you are teaching Look for situations that affect another person and talk to your kids about what it means to the people involved and how they might feel.For example,if you see an ambulance speed past,talk about how the family members of the sick person might be feeling 4.Younger kids in particular love to pretend that they are someone or something else.You can use ese fun times for teaching empathy.Get your kids playing the role of another person.This might be a character in a book or on tv,or even someone you know who has been througn a significant experience lately.You can act out the story together and ask your kids to stop and imagine how their character night have been feeling at any given moment.This will focus their attention on the emotions that another person might experience when in that situation.You can ask them to make faces that reflect the feelings of their character.5.Teaching your kids the difference between right and wrong from a young age gives them a strong internal moral compass that will direct them to make good choices.In situations that require a decision,help them to see how our choices and behavior affect others.Talk to them about how wrong doing harms others and help them to see the hurt and damage that it causes.It's a good idea to talk to them about the little things such as calling a sibling an unkind name that hurts her feelings or refusin to play with the leir brother when friends visit.When building a strong moral foundation,start small and begin with the basics.3选？A.Develop their inner moral compassB.Empathetic kids:givers not takersC.Kids need to see adults show empathyD.Look for real life situations to practice empathyE.Talk to kids about emotional needsF.Meet emotional needsG.Play games
Building a house costs quite a lot of money. Suppose you plan to build a house. Your first step will be to find a right piece of land. Your choice will depend on many different things. You will probably try to find a sunny place, with pleasant surroundings near shops and bus stops, not too far from your friends and the place where you work. Next you will find a good builder, and together with the builder you will work out a plan. The builder will draw the plan. It will show the number of rooms, their position and size, and other parts, which must be noticed, such as windows, doors, and electric outlets. The builder will work out how much money is needed to build your house. He will work out the cost of the wood, bricks, the glass, and everything else that must be used in building the house. Later on, when he starts to build, this estimate must be corrected and revised. His estimate is based on existing prices, but prices of such things may change, and many other things may happen between the time when he makes the estimate and the time when he builds the house. When the builder gives his estimate, you may wish to change your plan. (You may also wish to change your builder, if his estimate is too high! ) You may find that the house you wanted at first costs too much, or that you can spend a little more and add something to your plan. The builder's estimate depends on the plan, but the final plan depends on the builder's estimate. The phrase "draw a plan" in this passage means _______A.making a picture of a building or a roomB.making a planC.working out a planD.pulling a picture out of a room

资料：Did your child's brain shrink last summer? Probably not, but it may have shifted into reverse, according to a study by Dr. Harris Cooper, professor of psychology at the University of Missouri-Columbia. The study found that when students return to school after a long summer vacation, they've lost one to three months worth of learning.The decline is more detrimental for math than it is for reading. "All students lose math skills," says Cooper. It may be because community and home environments give kids more opportunities to practice reading than math. The study also found that income has an impact on how much a student loses or gains in reading. Middle-class children actually gained in reading over the summer, while lower-income students experienced losses. Cooper attributes this to the enrichment activities that many middle-class kids participate in over the summer, such as camp and trips.Your kids don't have to spend the summer stuck in reverse. "Parents can help their kids retain educational skills," says Cooper. He suggests the following five tips to kick off a learning-filled summer.1. Keep lots of books around and make regular trips to the library. Most libraries schedule special summer events for kids. Sign up your family! 2. Think about what your kids may be learning next year when you plan the family vacation. Talk with teachers to find out what they'll be covering in class. If it's a unit on the civil war for example, you may want to schedule a visit to Gettysburg. If it's geology, visit a national park.3. Keep math in mind. Since kids lose more math skills than anything else over the summer, try to do some special planning to find math-related activities. For example, if you can't decide whether to sign your child up for "Shakespeare's Theater" or "Math Magic" at the local community center, go with the math.4. Consider summer school or tutoring. Struggling kids can get a lot of different kinds of help from these programs. Summer school can also enrich and accelerate learning in areas where kids show a special interest.5. Call the curriculum coordinator in your child's school district, visit the school board office, or contact the schools of education at local colleges and universities to find out what educational programs will be offered in your area over the summer.Remember to keep it fun!

资料：Did your child's brain shrink last summer? Probably not, but it may have shifted into reverse, according to a study by Dr. Harris Cooper, professor of psychology at the University of Missouri-Columbia. The study found that when students return to school after a long summer vacation, they've lost one to three months worth of learning.The decline is more detrimental for math than it is for reading. "All students lose math skills," says Cooper. It may be because community and home environments give kids more opportunities to practice reading than math. The study also found that income has an impact on how much a student loses or gains in reading. Middle-class children actually gained in reading over the summer, while lower-income students experienced losses. Cooper attributes this to the enrichment activities that many middle-class kids participate in over the summer, such as camp and trips.Your kids don't have to spend the summer stuck in reverse. "Parents can help their kids retain educational skills," says Cooper. He suggests the following five tips to kick off a learning-filled summer.1. Keep lots of books around and make regular trips to the library. Most libraries schedule special summer events for kids. Sign up your family! 2. Think about what your kids may be learning next year when you plan the family vacation. Talk with teachers to find out what they'll be covering in class. If it's a unit on the civil war for example, you may want to schedule a visit to Gettysburg. If it's geology, visit a national park.3. Keep math in mind. Since kids lose more math skills than anything else over the summer, try to do some special planning to find math-related activities. For example, if you can't decide whether to sign your child up for "Shakespeare's Theater" or "Math Magic" at the local community center, go with the math.4. Consider summer school or tutoring. Struggling kids can get a lot of different kinds of help from these programs. Summer school can also enrich and accelerate learning in areas where kids show a special interest.5. Call the curriculum coordinator in your child's school district, visit the school board office, or contact the schools of education at local colleges and universities to find out what educational programs will be offered in your area over the summer.Remember to keep it fun! You don't want to sour your kids on learning during the summer break.How to keep kids from losing more math skills, according to Dr. Harris Cooper? （ ）A.Doing some special planning to have math-related activitiesB.Signing up for programs like “Shakespeare’s Theater”C.Having less reading activities over the summerD.Going to the libraries more often
