The Hidden Health Issue：Emotional Well-Being

　　The Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health has just released the results from the second annual Bay Annual Parent Poll, a telephone survey of nearly 1,800 parents from Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco．San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties in California．

　　For the second year in a row．Bay Area parents have put their children's emotional health at the top of their worry list, highlighting a health risk not usually discussed．Parents across economic, ethnic, and geographic lines say that they worry about stress, depression, weight, and the impact of family stress on their kids．

　　Stress and Depression

　　About 65% of the parents of teenagers say their children experience stress from schoolwork, pressure to compete in school, divorce and family finances．In addition, 25% of the parents worry that their children might be depressed．Comparatively, less than 10% of the parents of the teens are concerned about their children smoking cigarettes, using alcohol or smoking marijuana．

　　Other Results

　　Family Time：More than 25% of the parents say they do not spend enough time together as a family．

　　Media：More than 45% of the parents way that the media have a negative effect on their teens．

　　It is clear from the results of this survey that parents of older teens are more worried about their emotional health, and I would guess that part of this finding reflects parents not feeling “connected” to their teens．We know that stress and depression are predictors for teens participating in many unhealthy behaviors, including drinking and smoking．

　　Not only do these results call for schools and health care to regularly assess the emotional well-being of teens, it is also a wake-up call for parents to “engage” with both the health care and educational systems to support changes to reduce the stress our youth are feeling．

(1)

What is the greatest stress for the Bay Area Children in the parents' opinions?
[　　]
A．	Activities like sports, music, arts．
B．	Difficulties with family members．
C．	Pressure to compete in school．
D．	Homework and schoolwork．

(2)

According to the survey, parents worry most about their kids' ________．
[　　]
A．	unhealthy behaviors
B．	emotional health
C．	physical health
D．	school lessons

(3)

How many parents think that the media have a bad effect on their teens?
[　　]
A．	One out of ten．
B．	Over a quarter．
C．	Nearly a half．
D．	About two thirds．

(4)

We can conclude from the results of the survey that ________．
[　　]
A．	children's health risk should be highlighted
B．	parents should help to reduce children's stress
C．	educational systems should be completely changed
D．	parents should prevent their children from bad behaviors

答案：1．D;2．B;3．C;4．B;

The basic flag of the United States is one of the world's oldest national flags. Only the basic flags of Austria, Denmark, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland are older.

　　During the discovery and settlement of what is now the United States the flags of various European nations were flown over the land, as symbols of possession. Later, in the colonial and Revolutionary War Periods flags representing famous persons, places and events were flown in the American Colonies.

　　The first official flag of the United States was created by Congress on June 14,1777, It consisted of 13 alternate red and white stripes and 13 white stars in a field of blue, representing the 13 colonies that had declared their independence in 1776. Congress adopted a new flag of 15 stars and 15 stripes in 1795, to give representation to the two new states admitted into the Union, Vermont and Kentucky.

　　By 1817, there were 20 states in the Union, and it became apparent that adding one stripe for each new state would destroy the shape of the flag. As a result, Congress in 1818 restored the original design of 13 stripes and provided that each state was to be represented by one star. In 1912 President　　 William. H. Taft made the first official provision for the arrangement of the stars. He ordered that there be six even rows of eight stars each. Previously the arrangement of the starts had been left to the flagmaker's desire. The evolution of the stars and stripes reflects the growth of the United States. After the admission of Hawaii into the Union in 1959, the flag was officially changed for the 26th time since its creation. There are many government flags flown in the United States in addition to the national flag. Among them are the presidents and vice-presidents flags and those of the federal departments and some federal agencies. Each state in the Union has an official flag. The United States Navy used special flags for signaling.

(1) Why were only the flags of various European nations flown over the land during the discovery and settlement period?

[　　]

A．Because the flags were older than the national flag of the U.S.

B．Because the land was divided by these nations.

C．Because there was universal flag over the land．

D．We don't know from the passage.

(2)The first national flags of the United States ________.

[　　]

A．represented the 13 colonies which won independence in 1776

B．were flown in American colonies in 1776

C．were flown in American colonies in 1795

D．gave representation to Congress

(3)Where the stars were placed on the national flag in 1818 was decided by _______.

[　　]

A．Congress

B．the president

C．the government

D．the flagmaker

(4)How many stars entered the Union between 1818and 1912?

[　　]

A．30

B．28

C．13

D．8

(5)Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

[　　]

A．Before 1959 the flag had been changed 25 times.

B．Each federal department has its own official flag.

C．The national flag of the U.S. had 26 stars on it after admission of Hawaii into the Union in 1959

D．By 1912, there had been 48 states in the Union.

     The story of how the song Happy Birthday to You came to be, began as a sweet one, that later
soured. Two sisters, Mildred Hill, a teacher at the Louisville, Kentucky Experimental Kindergarten, and
Dr. Patty Hill, the headmaster of the same school, together wrote a song for the children, named Good
Morning to All. As the local expert on spiritual songs, and as the organist(风琴师) for her church,
Mildred combined her musical talents with her sister's knowledge in the area of Kindergarten Education,
Good Morning to All was sure to be a success.
     The sisters published the song in a collection called "Song Stories of the Kindergarten" in 1893.
Thirty-one years later, after Dr. Patty Hill became the head of the Department of Kindergarten Education
at Columbia University's Teacher College, a gentleman by the name of Robert H. Coleman published the
song, without the sisters' permission. What was worse, he added a second lyric, the familiar Happy
Birthday to You
     Mr. Coleman's addition of the second lyric made the song famous and popular and, eventually, the
sisters' original first lyric disappeared. Happy Birthday to You the one and only birthday song, had
altogether replaced the sisters' original title Good Morning to All.
     After Mildred died in 1916, Patty, together with a third sister named Jessica, discussed the issue
together and took Mr. Coleman to court. In court, they proved that they, indeed, owned the melody
(曲调). Because the family legally owns the song, they can earn royalties(取版税)on it, whenever it is
sung for commercial purposes.

1. Why was the song Good Morning to All successful?

A. Because both of the two sister liked music a lot.
B. Because the two sisters are experts on music and education.
C. Because both of the sisters are passive and patient.
D. Because the two sisters are teachers of kindergarten.

2. What do the underlined words later soured mean (in Paragraph 1)?

A. The song was completely changed in the end.
B. The song later had a sad development story.
C. The son didn't become popular years later.
D. The song is meant for commercial use later.

3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The Hill family got a lot of money eventually.
B. Mr. Coleman got a lot of money from the song.
C. The Hill sisters got support from the court.
D. Mr. Coleman published the song secretly.

4. What's the main idea of the passage?

A. The origin of a famous song.
B. The addition of a famous song.
C. The life of the two sisters.
D. The story of a family's fame.
