4.British society is considered to be divided into three main groups of classes-the Upper Class,the Middle Class,and the Lower or Working Class.This is known as the Class system and it is important to know something about it if you want to understand British people and society.Most British people grow up with a deep knowledge and understanding of the class system even if they are not very conscious(意识到)of it.Most people know which class they belong to by the way they speak,their clothes,their interests or even the type of food they eat.
Social class is not only about behavior and attitudes.For example,although many upper class people are rich and may own a lot of land,having a lot of money does not make a person upper class.It is also important to come from a particular kind of family,have friends who are considered suitable,have been to a certain type of private school and speak with the right kind of accent.There are people who are poor but who do not think of themselves as working class,because their family background,education,political opinions,etc.are different from those of most working-class people.Many people do not like the class system but it is impossible to pretend that these differences do not exist or that British people do not sometimes form opinions in this way.
63.According to the passage,you cannot judge an Englishman's social class byC.
A.the clothes he wears                
B.the way he speaks
C.where he was born                   
D.the interests he has
64.If an Englishman has much money,A.
A.he is not likely to be from the upper class
B.he must be a member of the upper class
C.he belongs to the middle class
D.he may buy an upper class title with the money
65.What does the second paragraph mainly discuss?B.
A.Many rich people do not belong to the upper class
B.An Englishman's social class is determined by many factors(因素)
C.Many poor people do not consider themselves as lower class
D.Today many British people do not like the class system
66.According to the passage,the idea of the class system in BritainD.
A.exists only in the mind of foreigners      
B.is regarded as a long system
C.is now under severe attack               
D.is deeply rooted in the British people.

5.Being Authoritative (权威的) Parents
Phrases like"tiger mom"and‘‘helicopter parent"have made their way into everyday language.Many of us find ourselves drawn to the idea that with just a bit more parental hard work and effort,we might turn out children with bright futures.But is there anything wrong with a kind of"overparenting style"?
Parental involvement has a long history of being studied.Many of the studies,conducted by Diana Baumrind,a famous psychologist at the University of California,Berkeley,have found that a good parent is the one who is involved and reacts to her child in a positive way,who sets high expectations but gives her child independence.These"authoritative parents"appear to hit the sweet spot of parental involvement and generally raise children who do better academically,psychologically and socially than children whose parents are not strict and less involved,or controlling and more involved.Why is this parenting style so successful?
Authoritative parents actually help improve motivation in their children.Carol Dweck,a social psychologist at Stanford University,has done research that indicates why authoritative parents raise more motivated children.In a typical experiment,Dr.Dweck takes young children into a room and asks them to solve a simple puzzle.Most do so with little difficulty.But then Dr.Dweck tells some,but not all,of the kids how clever they are.As it turns out,the children who are not told they're smart are more motivated to solve increasingly difficult puzzles.They also show higher levels of confidence and show greater progress in puzzle-solving.
As the experiment suggests,praising children's talents and abilities seems to shake their confidence.Dealing with more difficult puzzles carries the risk of losing one's status as"smart".Dr.Dweck's work strongly supports that of Dr.Baumrind,who also found that reasonably supporting a child's independence and limiting interference (干涉) causes better academic and emotional results.
The central task of growing up is to develop a sense of self that is independent and confident.If you treat your young child who is just learning to walk as if she can't walk,you reduce her confidence.Allowing children to make mistakes is one of the greatest challenges of parenting.It is easier when they are young.The potential mistakes carry greater risks,and part of being a parent is reducing risk for our children.
25.According to the passage,a"tiger mom"D.
A.helps her children realize their dreams
B.speaks her children's everyday language
C.places reasonable expectations on her children
D.pays close attention to her children's experiences
26.It is implied that controlling style of parenting mayB.
A.face more challenges of children              
B.cause more problems in children
C.develop independence in children             
D.lead to children's academic success
27.The example of the children doing the puzzles suggests thatC.
A.a good game plays a big role in training young minds
B.puzzle-solving can give children the motivation they need
C.overpraising makes children less motivated and confident
D.bright children usually show less confidence in difficult games
28.The last paragraph tells us thatD.
A.children should not be given much freedom
B.parents should not increase the risk of challenging
C.children should correct mistakes with the help of their parents
D.parents should allow their children to learn from the mistakes.

11.Most likely,you aren't the family breadwinner.But doing a small job or getting a weekly allowance (零花钱) would put some money in your pocket.For kids and grown-ups alike,money is easy to spend.If you aren't careful,it can be going in no time.
  Being responsible with your money is an important skill to learn-and the sooner you start the better.Whether you are tracking your spending or saving for something special,creating a budget can help you deal with your expenses and plan for the future.All you need are paper and a pencil-and some self-control.
  First,take a look at our sample monthly budget.Then,use a separate sheet of paper to plan your own.In the first two columns (栏),list your sources (来源) of income and how much you expect to earn from them.In the third and fourth columns,list what you expect to spend your money on and the amount.
  The left-hand total should be more than or equal to the right-hand total.If it is,you have an effective budget.Budgets are not complex,but sticking to them can be tough.When planning your budget,be realistic about your expenses.If you know that you drop  18 at a movie,don't write  12 in that space simply because you wish you were spending less.
  If you are eyeing a big purchase,such as a  150 skateboard,spend less and save more until you have the total amount.No matter how attractive it may be,avoid spending your savings.One day,you will thank yourself!
