As children grow, so does their desire to become independent. 1. . As parents, our job is to find the right balance between kids’ desire for independence and the need to keep kids safe.

Kids need to be allowed, in fact encouraged; they like to be given certain risks. 2. . The right risk level for your child will depend on their age, developmental level, and character. It will change over time, and there are few hard and fast rules that apply to every child.

3. Every time you put your kids in the car you are putting them at risk. It is a fact of life.

So what is a parent to do ? We must encourage them to explore their world while setting clear limits where safety is an issue. 4. . We must let them run, but be prepared to catch them when they fall. We can’t take their steps for them; we can only point out the path.

It’s hard to imagine when they are small, but someday very soon they will be walking , riding a bike, even driving ! 5. .

A. Children do not often want to become independent.

B. It is impossible for any of us to live completely risk-free.

C. The goal for parents is to determine how much risk is appropriate.

D. Often they will become more willing to take risks and try new things.

E. Sometimes it is really tough for parents to encourage their children to be independent.

F. Someday they must face the world without us, and part of our job is to prepare them for that.

Last year, I lived in Chile（智利）for half a year. I lived with a Chilean family and had the responsibilities of any Chilean teenager. I had good days and bad days I didn’t understand.

Chuquicamata, my host community, is a mining camp. When I arrived there, I was scared. It was so different from what I was used to. There were lots of dogs in the streets, and there was no downtown, few smoothly paved（鋪砌的）streets, and little to do for entertainment. Rain was not seen very often, earthquakes and windstorms were frequent.

I had studied Spanish for two and a half years and was always one of the best students in my class. But in my first week in Chile I was only able to communicate and needed one person to whom I could explain my shock. I couldn’t speak the thoughts in my head and there were so many.

Most exchange students experienced this like me. Culture shock presents（呈現(xiàn)）itself in everything from increased aggression（攻擊）towards the people to lack of appetite（食欲）. I was required（要求）to overcome all difficulties.

As time passed, everything changed. I began to forget words in English and to dream in Spanish and love Chilean food. I got used to not depending on expensive things for fun. Fun in Chuquicamata was being with people. And I took math, physics, chemistry, biology, Spanish, art, and philosophy.

But the sacrifices（犧牲）were nothing compared to the gain. I learned how to accept and to succeed in another culture. I now have a deeper understanding of both myself and others.

1. The author came to Chile last year with the purpose of ________.

A. paying a visit to Chile as a tourist

B. experiencing Chilean life as a teacher

C. studying Chilean culture as a college student

D. studying knowledge as an exchange student

2. On arriving in Chile, why did the author feel frightened?

A. Because he did not know how to get along with the local people.

B. Because it was full of dangers like earthquakes and windstorms.

C. Because its living conditions were worse than what he was used to.

D. Because it was not convenient for him to shop there.

3.What did the author most probably think of his life in Chile?

A. Wonderful and worthwhile

B. Difficult but meaningful

C. Difficult and meaningless

D. Boring and disappointing

4. According to the passage, which of the following statements about Chile is TRUE?

A. Its official language is Spanish and English.

B. It is a developing country without foreign students.

C. It seldom rains and natural disasters often happen.

D. Most Chileans are not friendly to foreigners.

Throughout the world, boys and girls prefer to play with different types of toys. Boys typically like to play with cars and trucks, while girls typically choose to play with dolls. Why is this? A traditional sociological explanation is that boys and girls are socialized and encouraged to play with different types of toys by their parents, peers, and the “society”. Growing scientific evidence suggests, however, that boys’ and girls’ toy preferences may have a biological origin.

In 2002, Gerianne M. Alexander of Texas A&M University and Melissa Hines of City University in London surprised the scientific world by showing that monkeys showed the same sex typical toy preferences as humans. In the study, Alexander and Hines gave two masculine toys (a ball and a police car), two feminine toys (a soft doll and a cooking pot), and two neutral(中性的) toys (a picture book and a stuffed dog) to 44 male and 44 female monkeys. They then assessed the monkeys’ preference for each toy by measuring how much time they spent with each. Their data showed that male monkeys showed significantly（顯著地） greater interest in the masculine toys, and the female monkeys showed significantly greater interest in the feminine toys. The two sexes did not differ in their preference for the neutral toys.

If children’s toy preferences were largely formed by gender socialization, as traditional sociologists’ claim, in which their parents give “gender appropriate” toys to boys and girls, how can these male and female monkeys have the same preferences as boys and girls？They were never socialized by humans, and they had never seen these toys before in their lives.

1.Traditional sociologists believe boys’ and girls’ toy preferences ________.

A. are passed down from their parents

B. have a biological origin

C. have nothing to do with gender socialization

D. are largely formed in later life

2.The study by Alexander and Hines shows that monkeys________.

A. also play toys as humans do

B. also have a sex typical toy preference

C. have no toy preferences

D. like to play different toys at different time

3.Alexander and Hines carried out the study to ________.

A. find out why boys and girls prefer different toys

B. test the intelligence of monkeys

C. test whether monkeys like to play toys

D. find more evidence for traditional sociology

4.Masculine toys are mainly intended for________.

A. monkeys B. adult C. boys D. girls

More than half of rich Americans have not shown their full wealth to their children, a new survey showed last Tuesday.

The survey, published by the Bank of America, studied the rich with $ 3 million or more in assets．It found that “surprisingly few of those surveyed have well-developed plans to preserve and pass on their assets to their children”.

The majority of the 457 people surveyed are self-made, first-generation rich．Fifty-two percent of parents have chosen not to tell their children just how wealthy they are, and 15 percent have given away nothing about the family wealth．One in their parents said they had never thought to do it.

They are worried that their children would become lazy, spend money freely, make bad decisions and even become a target for gold diggers.

Only 34 percent strongly agreed that t heir children would be able to handle any inheritance(遺產(chǎn)) they plan to leave them.

“There is an expectation about the wealthy parents that they have a responsibility to pass down their fortune to the next generation,” said Sallie Krawcheck, president of the Bank of America Globai Wealth and Investment Management．“Our research, however, uncovered changing views of what one generation owes the next.”

The trend is led by the world’s richest man Bill Gates, who promised in 2008 that he would leave his $58 billion fortune to the charity started by him and his wife, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation(基金會(huì)), and not to his children.

“We want to give it back to society in the way that it will have the most positive impact,” he said.

Of his plans for his children, Gates said: “I will give the kids some money but not a meaningful percentage… they will need to work but they will feel reasonably taken care of.”

1.We can learn from the passage that .

A．rich parents may not know how to manage their inheritance

B．rich parents don’t equal rich kids, at least in the US

C．American children don’t get to inherit their parents’ wealth

D．poor children don’t expect themselves to be as rich as their parents

2.According to the survey, most rich Americans .

A．think they owe their children nothing

B．think it best to give their money back to society

C．doubt their children’s ability to handle wealth

D．a(chǎn)re confident of their children’s ability to handle wealth

3.From the last paragraph, we can see that Bill Gates wants to show .

A．the trend of leaving no inheritance to children

B．the positive impact of charity on society

C．the way of giving back to society

D．the importance of independence for children
