17.It is not only praise or punishment that determines a child's level of confidence.There are some other important ways we shape our kids-particularly by giving instructions and commands in a negative or positive choice of words.For example,we can say to a child"Don't run into traffic!"or"Stay on the footpath close to me."In using the latter,you will be helping your kids to think and act positively,and to feel competent in a wide range of situations,because they know what to do,and aren't scaring themselves about what not to do.
Why does such a small thing make a difference?It is all in the way the human mind works.What we think,we automatically rehearse.For example,if someone offered you a million dollars not to think of a blue monkey for two minutes,you wouldn't be able to do it.When a child is told"Don't fall off the tree,"he will think of two things:"don't"and"fall off the tree".That is,he will automatically create the picture of falling off the tree in his mind.A child who is vividly imagining falling off the tree is much more likely to fall off.So it is far better to use"Hold on to the tree carefully."
Clear,positive instructions help kids to understand the right way to do things.Kids do not always know how to be safe,or how to react to the warning of the danger in negative words.So parents should make their commands positive."Sam,hold on firm to the side of the boat"is much more useful than"Don't you dare to fall out of the boat?"or worse still"How do you think I'll feel if you drown?"The changes are small but difference is obvious.
Children learn how to guide and organize themselves from the way we guide them with our words,so it pays to be positive.

12.Positive choice of words helps kids toB.
A.do things carefully
B.build up their confidence
C.improve their imagination
D.learn in different situation
13.What can we infer from Paragraph 2?B
A.A child will act on what is instructed.
B.One can't help imagining what is heard.
C.A child will fall off the tree when told not to.
D.One won't think of a blue monkey when given money.
14.Which of the following commands helps kids to be safe?A
A.Fasten your seat belt.
B.Don't play by the lake.
C.How do you think I'll feel if you get hurt?
D.Don't you dare to walk through the red light.
15.The main idea of the passage is thatD.
A.praise makes kids confident
B.right instructions keep kids safe
C.clear commands make kids different
D.choice of words can make a difference.

12.As the morning school bell rings and students rush in,teenagers in one classroom settle onto mats and meditation (冥想)pillows.They fall silent after the teacher taps a"singing bowl".
These students are in a for-credit,year-long mindfulness class,which is meant to ease youth anxiety and depression and to prevent violence.For 90 minutes,three days a week,they practice a mix of yoga,sitting,and walking meditation,deep breathing,journaling,and non-judgmental listening.
Yoga and meditation have gained popularity among Americans in recent decades,supported by studies showing benefits to emotional,mental,and physical health.The centuries-old practices have roots in eastern religions,but Western culture has long focused on physical postures (姿势),breathing,and relaxation techniques.
Some people have greeted the move with less than enthusiasm.Last year,an elementary school in Ohio ended its mindfulness program after parents complained it was too closely linked to religion.But many school districts are reporting success.In Richmond,California,schools have reported drops in school problems among low-income,at-risk youths.The school district in South Burlington,Vermont,introduced a successful mindfulness course as part of a health and wellness program,and now administrators there have advocated mindfulness into K-12 currculums.
Two years ago,Caverly Morgan developed the after-school mindfulness program teamed up with Allyson Copacino,who teaches yoga.After hundreds of students signed up,Principal Brian Chatard took note.The school was dealing with a student,s suicide (自杀),and few resources were available to address students'emotional and mental health.
"High school is the hardest period of time for kids,"Mr.Chatard said."You've got emotional changes,physical changes,and all the social pressures.It's also the onset of mental illness for some kids,depression hits,and there's the pressure of college and sports.All these things kids do is over?whelming without having a strategy (策略)to deal with it."And now schools all over the country are introducing the practices.

25.What do Western people value more about yoga and meditation?C
A.Non-judgmental listening.
B.Religious meaning.
C.Physical benefits.
D.Journaling.
26.What can we infer about the mindfulness class?B
A.It is supported by parents.
B.It relives pressure of students.
C.It mainly builds students up physically.
D.It improves students'academic performance.
27.Who started the mindfulness class?C
A.Administrators.
B.Brian Chatard.
C.Caverly Morgan.
D.Allyson Copacino.
28.What is Mr.Chatard's attitude towards the program?A
A.Supportive.
B.Concerned.
C.Doubtful.
D.Reserved.

If there are two winners of a particular prize,the award money is divided equally between the winners.If there are there,the awarding committee can choose to divide the money equally,or award one-half to one winner and one-quarter to each of the others.It is common for winners to donate prize money to benefit scientific,cultural,or charitable causes.

6.When Frida Kahlo's paintings were on show in London,a poet described her paintings as"a ribbon (丝带)around a bomb".Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence(影响) on the art world of her time.Sadly,she is actually a much bigger name  today than she was during her time.
Born in 1907in a village near Mexico City,Kahlo suffered from polio(小儿麻痹症)at the age of seven.Her spine (脊柱)became bent as she grew older.Then,in 1925,her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident.Throughout the rest of her life,the artist had many operations,but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back.However,the accident had an unexpected side effect.While lying in her bed recovering,Kahlo taught herself to paint.
In 1929,she got married to Diego Rivera,another famous Mexican artist.Rivera's strong influences on Kahlo's style can be seen in her early works,but her later works from the 1940s,known today as her best works,show less influence from her husband.
Unfortunately,her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and 1940s,even in her home country.Her first one-woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953.For more than a decade after her death in 1954,Kahlo's works remained largely unnoticed by the world,but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.

28.What does the phrase"a much bigger name"in paragraph 1most nearly mean?C
A.a far better artist
B.a far more gifted artist
C.a much more famous person
D.a much stronger person
29.The terrible pain Kahlo suffered was caused byC.
A.polio
B.her bent spine
C.back injuries
D.the operations she had
30.Kahlo's style had become increasingly independent since theB.
A.1930s
B.1940s
C.1950s
D.1970s
31.What is author's attitude toward Kahlo?B
A.Laugh       
B.Sympathy       
C.Worry         
D.Courage.

7.A new study has found that social media could be affecting the sleep of young adults.The study is a project of researchers at the University of Pittsburgh's School of Medicine.They found that young people who often use social media are more likely to suffer from sleep disorders than those who use social media less.
The researchers say doctors should ask young adults about their use of social media when treating sleep issues."This is one of the first pieces of evidence that social media use really can affect your sleep,"said Jessica C.Levenson.She is a postdoctoral researcher in the university's Department of Psychiatry.She was the lead author of a report on the study.The researchers set out to examine the connection between social media use and sleep among young adults.
The researchers wanted to find out how often young people used social media sites like Facebook,Twitter and etc..For the study,they gave questionnaires to nearly 1,800adults,aged 19to 32.On average,members of the study group used social media sites one hour a day.They also visited various social media accounts 30times per week.Thirty percent of the study's participants reported having serious problems with sleeping.Those people who used social media a lot were three times more likely to have a sleep disorder.And those who spent the most time on social media were two times as likely to suffer from sleep disturbances.
Frequent checking is big part of the problem.Levenson said the number of times a person visits social media is a better predictor of sleep problems than overall time spent on social media.If this is true,she adds,then practices that stop such behaviors may be most effective.
Researchers say social media can influence sleep patterns in a number of ways.People can lose sleep by staying up too late looking at social media.Sensitive issues argued about on social media can cause"emotional,cognitive or physiological"excitement.Using an electronic device can disturb a body's natural sleep rhythms because of the light coming from cell phones or computer screens.The researchers note that in some cases,young adults who have a hard time sleeping may use social media to help them fall asleep.
"It also may be that both of these hypotheses (假定) are true,"says Brian A.Primack.He is director of the Center for Research on Media,Technology and Health.He is also the study's senior author.Primack says,"Difficult sleeping may lead to increased use of social media,which may in turn lead to more problems sleeping.This cycle may be particularly problematic with social media.Many forms of social media involve interactive screen time that is stimulating (刺激) and rewarding and,for those reasons,can keep you awake."

68.From the results of the questionnaire,who are more likely to have a sleep problem?B
A.The participants aged from 19to 32.
B.The participants visiting social media frequently.
C.The participants using social media sites one hour a day.
D.The participants spending the most time on social media.
69.The main purpose of the passage is toC.
A.compare and evaluate
B.examine and reason
C.inform and explain
D.argue and conclude
70.What is the best title for the passage?A
A.Social Media Is Keeping Young Adults Awake
B.Difficult Sleeping Is Affecting Sleeping Patterns
C.Electric Devices Are Influencing Sleep Rhythms
D.Young Adults Are Suffering from Sleep Disorders.
