    Children find meanings in their old family tales．

    When Stephen Guyer’s three children were growing up, he told them stories about how his grandfather, a banker,    1   all in the 1930s, but did not lose sight of what he valued most. In one of the darkest times   2   his strong-minded grandfather was nearly   3   , he loaded his family into the car and   4    them to see family members in Canada with a   5   , “there are more important things in life than money”.

    The  6   took on a new meaning recently when Mr. Guyer downsized to  7    house from a more expensive and comfortable one. He was  8     that his children, a daughter, 15, and twins, 22, would be upset．To his surprise, they weren’t.  9     , their reaction echoed (共鸣) their great-grandfather’s．What they  10    was how warm the people were in the house and how  11     of their heart was accessible.

    Many parents are finding that family stories have surprising power to help children

      12   hard times. Storytelling experts say the phenomenon reflects a growing  13     in telling tales, evidenced by a rise in storytelling events and festivals.

    A university   14    of 65 families with children aged from 14 to 16 found kids’ ability to 15  parents’ stories was linked to a lower rate of anger and anxiety.

    The 16   is telling the stories in a way children can  17   . We’re not talking here about the kind of story that  18  , “ When I was a kid, I walked to school every day uphill both ways, barefoot in the snow.” Instead, we should choose a story suited to the child’s 19 , and make eye contact (接触) to create “a personal experience”. We don’t have to tell children 20   they should take from the story and what the moral is.

    My color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautiful when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.

    Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.

    When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.

    1.Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?

    A. He got an older model than he had expected.

    B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken.

    C. He could have bought it at a lower price.

    D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.

    2.Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off” in paragraph 1?

    A. ended all their programs B. provided fewer channels

    C. changed to commercials D. showed all-night movies

    3.How does the author sound when telling the story?

    A. Curious B. Anxious

    C. Cautious D. Humorous

    Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive (欺骗) ? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.

    For example , some might say, "I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票) . It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars! "

    This guy's a winner, right?  Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. He's really a big loser!

    He didn't say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That's called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.

    Some politicians often use this trick. Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents says, "During Governor Smith's term, the state lost one million jobs!" That's true. However, an honest statement would have been , " During Governor Smith's term , the state had a net gain of two million jobs. "

    Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, "Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache. " It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.

    This kind of deception happens too often. It's a sad fact of life: Lies are lies , and sometimes the truth can lie as well.

    1.How much did the lottery winner lose?

    A. One hundred dollars. B. Two hundred dollars.

    C. Three hundred dollars. D. Four hundred dollars.

    2.We may infer that the author believes people should___________.

    A. buy lottery tickets B. make use of half-truths

    C. not take anything at face value D. not trust the Yucky Company

    3.What do the underlined words " net gain" in Paragraph 5 mean?

    A. final increase. B. big advantage.

    C. large share. D. total saving.

    4.What can we know from the example of the Yucky Pill advertisement?

    A. False statements are easy to see through.

    B. Half-truths are often used to mislead people.

    C. Doctors like to act in advertisement.

    D. Advertisements are based on facts.

    Parties, iPods, concerts, movies, TV shows, video games, traffic. All of these things of the modern world make life entertaining and enjoyable. But our 21st-century lifestyle is also loud and, if we don’t take notice, it can have an effect on our hearing.

    Most teenagers don’t think about hearing loss. But if you experience any of the following symptoms , you may already be hearing damaged: you make efforts to hear normal talk, you have to turn up the TV or radio so high that others complain, you watch other people’s expressions to understand what they are saying, you ask people to repeat themselves, you misunderstand what people are saying or you hear ringing in your ears.

    iPods and other MP3 players are as common as the clothes you wear, and just as fashionable. But if you turn up an iPod to more than 60 percent of its maximum volume , and listen to music for more than an hour, you are asking for trouble. And, it does not matter if the music you play is classical, rock or heavy metal.

    Some researchers find that young people who break the so-called 60-percent/60-minute rule in listening to iPods are at the risk of suffering hearing loss.

    Why is an iPod dangerous? With ear buds placed directly in the ear canal and high-volume music played over a long period of time, it’s like working in a loud factory all day, being a maintenance person under a jet airplane or using a jackhammer（手提钻）on a building site.

    Similarly, iPod music can cause a short time or permanent hearing damage. A loud iPod can cause a ruptured（破裂的）eardrum and, over time, may cause permanent damage to the tiny hairs in the inner ear. If these tiny hairs are damaged, they cannot effectively send sounds to the auditory nerves（听觉神经）that connect to the brain. If this happens, hearing loss becomes permanent.

    1.Which of the following shows that you are suffering hearing loss?

    A. You are interested to listen to others’ talking.

    B. You have to read others’ expressions to understand them.

    C. You can only understand others over the phone.

    D. You always think you hear the ringing of the phone.

    2.Which of the following is TRUE when you listen to music?

    A. Listen at least an hour every time.

    B. Turn up the volume to the highest level.

    C. Keep the sound lower than 60% of its highest volume.

    D. Choose classical, rock or heavy metal music.

    3.What is the correct order of causing permanent hearing loss?

    a. The eardrum is broken.

    b. The auditory nerves cannot receive sounds.

    c. Tiny hairs are damaged.

    d. Ear buds are placed directly in the ear canal.

    e. High-volume music is played over a long time.

    A. d-a-c-b-e B. e-c-a-b-d

    C. b-c-a-d-e D. d-e-a-c-b
