What Teenagers Can Do To Earn More Respect

As teenagers continue to grow and develop into young adults, the transition(過渡) into adulthood has begun. With so many physical and emotional changes going on, certain manners are often for gotten and other adult traits are not yet accepted as a way of life.  1.   By doing the following things, you will earn more respect.

Contribute to the household

At the very least, clean up after yourself. As a teenager, you are old enough to clean up after yourself. When you make a mess, clean it up.  2.  All chores that you do help to reduce the load of the person who did them before. Now that you’re old enough and capable, why shouldn’t you contribute to the household?   3.    

Be responsible

      4.  Whether they are basic things, like brushing your teet h or doing your homework , or more involved chores that contribute to the household, simply fulfill your responsibilities on time. When adults know that they can rely on you, their trust and respect for you will increase.

3.  Solve more of your own problem without asking for help

Instead of taking the easy approach and asking for help, make an effort to solve your problems on your own first. The “easy way ” is only easy for you, but it is an extra task for the person from whom you are seeking help. Seek help only after you have made an honest effort to solve your own problems.  5.   When you become a good problem solver, you increase your valve to the community.

A.The people doing the chores before will greatly appreciate the help.

B.It will make your life more pleasant.

C.Everyone has certain responsibilities.

D.When speaking to a group, speak loud enough.

E.This includes. But is not limited to , your dishes and your room.

F.By being aware of these manners and traits, you can manage them sooner.

G.Depending on the problem, 15 minutes of effort is usually a good guideline.

試題分析：本篇文章是關(guān)于青少年要如何贏得別人尊敬和信任的幾點(diǎn)建議。首先要學(xué)會在家里幫忙做家務(wù)，即使從最簡單的洗碗疊被做起。其次，要學(xué)會負(fù)責(zé)任，哪怕是自己個人衛(wèi)生也要做好。最后，要學(xué)會獨(dú)立解決問題。當(dāng)把這些都做好的時候，人們對你的信任也就隨之而來了。

1.F考查上下文的推理判斷能力。前句中出現(xiàn)的manners和traits以及后句的句式和F選項(xiàng)的句式以及句中的these manners和traits恰好呼應(yīng)，語義上也能起到承上啟下的作用，所以判斷F選項(xiàng)正確。

2.E考查上下文的推理判斷能力。前句講你應(yīng)該學(xué)會自己收拾衛(wèi)生，而E選項(xiàng)This includes. But is not limited to , your dishes and your room. “這包括在內(nèi)，但不能局限在收拾自己碗筷和房間上”恰好能承接上文，故E選項(xiàng)正確。

3.A考查上下文的推理判斷能力。本段內(nèi)容是建議青少年要學(xué)會做家務(wù)活來幫助家人。所以所填句子應(yīng)該和做家務(wù)幫忙有關(guān)，而且從段落安排上看，最后一句話應(yīng)該起到總結(jié)概括作用，由此判斷A選項(xiàng)正確。句意：“如果你幫忙做家務(wù)，那么平時做這種家務(wù)的人會很感激。”

4.C考查上下文的推理判斷能力。由后句Whether they are basic things, 可以推斷前句應(yīng)該出現(xiàn)they所替代的名詞，而根據(jù)下文舉的例子like brushing your teeth or doing your homework 等可知C選項(xiàng)符合語境，能引領(lǐng)下文。句意：每個人都有某些責(zé)任。故C為正確選項(xiàng)。,

5.G考查上下文的推理判斷能力。在本段中作者建議人們不要輕易向人求助，要在自己努力而未果的情況下去找人幫忙，縱觀選項(xiàng)，只有G選項(xiàng)符合語境，能承接上文。

考點(diǎn)：考查信息匹配。

It was shortly before midnight, and Dr Patricia was getting ready for bed. The phone rang on the end of the line was a woman about to break a promise.

The woman was her mother’s neighbor. Flora Harris had made the neighbor swear she wouldn’t tell her daughter she’d had a heart attack and was in the hospital, for fear her daughter would worry. The neighbor wisely decided to disobey orders.

Harris desperately wanted to get to the hospital immediately, but she couldn’t. She lives in Washington, D. C, and her mother lives in California.

For the past year a half, Harris has gone to Los Angeles every other month to take care of her mother. Flora Harris takes care of her husband, James, who’s 91 and has Alzheimer’s disease. They live in their own home, and a caregiver comes to help them a few hours a day.

Harris is one of many Americans facing the heartache of how to take care of aging parents from afar. She’s often worried, not to mention exrtemely busy with a demanding job, two teenage daughters and the frequent trips to California.

In some ways, Harris is lucky. She has the resources to make the trips to Los Angeles. Plus, Harris is a doctor who treats the elderly.

“But it’s still tough,” she says. “I can foresee what the next few years are going to look like, and it’s not a pretty picture. My father’s going to need diapers (尿布). There will come a time when he won’t recognize me and he’s easily excited. I worry he’s going to be violent and hurt my mother.”

So what do you do when you live a continent away from your aging, sick parents? There are no magic answers. You can hire someone to help, but you can’t oursource it completely.

Why was the woman thought to have broken a promise?

A.She failed to take care of Flora.

B.She was not supposed to call Harris at midnight.

C.She couldn’t go to hospital on time.

D.She told Harris about her mother’s illness.

What can we learn about Patricia Harris from the passage?

A.She thinks it harder to look after her parents the next few years.

B.Her parents cannot take of themselves at all.

C.She cannot do a demanding job.

D.She cannot afford to go to California often.

What does the underlined word “outsource” in the last paragragh mean?

A.Arrange somebody outside to do a job.

B.Work something out by oneself.

C.Speak something out for help.

D.Understand something.

What’s the main idea of this passage?

A.Aging people in the USA are increasing.

B.The rate of heart disease is high in America.

C.It is difficult to tend aging parents from afar.

D.Harris advises on tending aging parents from afar.

三、閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）

閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的四個選項(xiàng)（A．B．C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)的標(biāo)號涂黑。

A

I remember a day when I was a little kid. I was making a sandwich in the kitchen when I noticed the date on one of the wine bottles.

"Dad, dad!" I cried. "This wine is too old to drink."

"Son, hold on," he said.

"No, you can't drink this tonight! This bottle of wine was made 10 years ago."

"Wait, let me tell you..."

"Would you like me to throw it away for you?" I asked.

"Son, wait a second," he said. "Son, some wines get better over time. The longer you wait to drink it, the better it will be. Although this may seem strange, it is true."

When I was young, I didn't have any understanding of what this meant, but now, this would have been very helpful to remember as I went through my teenage years.

In our society, we forget this simple role: The longer you wait for certain things, the better they will be. But we want the best job as quickly as possible; we want to graduate from college in as few years as possible; we even speed through our homework just to chat with friends. When we do this, we lose something of great importance.

We all want to get to the next step so quickly that perhaps we don't get ready enough to get there. This has a negative effect on our society. When trying to go to the right college, we will do anything to get in and when we rush through our class－work, we may not study enough for the test, and end up failing. We need to be ready for whatever comes, ready for the unexpected. Wine gets better over time, so do the things in our paths of life.

56．Why did the author tell his father not to drink the bottle of wine?

A．Because it smelt terrible.

B．Because it was mixed with something else.

C．Because his father drank too much that night.

D．Because it had been kept for years.

57．What the author's father said______.

A．made the author puzzled when he was a little child

B．was too simple a rule to be meaningful to the author

C．threw the author into deep thought then

D．was an excuse to drink the wine

58．In the author's opinion, if we do things too quickly we will______.

A．do it better                                                                 B．save much time

C．graduate from college more quickly          D．miss something useful to us in life

59．Which of the following best reflects the main idea of the passage?

A．Well begun is half done.                       B．More haste, less speed.

C．Failure is the mother of success.       D．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
