    When it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as important as confidence．
    People naturally have different levels of confidence．Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals．Increasing self confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists and other professionals．
    One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace．We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise．This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities．After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?
    Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success．If you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors, will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do．
    Being thought of as the person to go to, and being seen as an expert in your chosen field, is naturally very important to success on the job．If you can make yourself the person people go to for guidance and advice, you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing（裁员）．After all, if you are a recognized expert at the office, you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team．
    Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve．Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence．
    小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
    A．The influence of confidence on one's life．
    B．The difference of people's confidence．．

    A．who dream to be recognized experts
    B．who expect to give guidance to others
    C．who want to ask the boss for a raise
    D．who think their goals are hard to reach
    小题3:What message does the author want to convey（传递） in the last paragraph?
    A．To overlook one's disadvantages．
    B．To make full use of one's advantages．
    C．To have great confidence in one's abilities．
    D．To make objective evaluations of one's abilities．

    小题1:C
    小题2:D
    小题3:D
    文章告诉我们在生活和工作中信心是最重要的。

    Welcome to your future life!
    You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging(抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age !
    You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change your clothes’ color or pattern.
    You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says, “You shouldn’t drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk , and it knows the milk is old . In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.
    It’s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve(袖子). Such “smart technology” is all around you.
    So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed,” says scientist Andrew Zolli , “it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one example --what will be the next?

    The evidence for harmony（和谐）may not be clear in some families. But it seems that four in five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly- held image(印象)of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
    An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past. ”We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seem to be about their families, ”said one member of the research team. ”They’re expected to be rebellious(叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation(商议) and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat. ”
    So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat the children as friends. ”My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me, ”says 17-years-old Daniel Lazall. ”I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it. ”Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. ”Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that. ”
    Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenagers’ rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, ”Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in out social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over. ”
    小题1:What is the popular images of teenagers today?
    A．They worry about schoolB．They dislike living with their parents
    C．They are locked in to avoid troubleD．They quarrel a lot with other family members
    小题2:The study shows that teenagers don’t want to ___
    A． share family responsibilityB． cause trouble in their families
    C． go boating with their familyD． make family decisions
    小题3:Compared with parents of 30 years age, today’s parents___.
    A． go to clubs more often with their children
    B． are much stricter with their children
    C． care less about their children’s life
    D． give their children more freedom
    小题4:What is the passage mainly about?
    A． Negotiation in familyB． Education in family
    C． Harmony in familyD． Teenage trouble in family
    小题5:Which of the following NOT TRUE?
    A.Parents are stricter than their own parents.B Parents get along well with their kids C.Parents will discuss something with their kids  D. Harmony in family is important.

    “It hurts me more than you” and “This is for your own good” — these are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework.
    That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy for us. They taught that it as all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.
    Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we’ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who speaks of her students “so passive” and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to children’s passivity. “We’re talking about a generation of kids who've never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them, instead of saying  'go and look it up’, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.”
    Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It’s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It's time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it's for their own good. It's time to start telling them no again.
    小题1:Children are becoming more inactive in study because _______.
    A．they watch TV too oftenB．they have done too much homework
    C．they have to fulfill too many dutiesD．teachers are too strict with them
    小题2:By “permissive period in education” (L.1, Para. 2) the author means a time _______.
    A．when everything can be taught at school
    B．when every child can be educated
    C．when children are permitted to receive education
    D．when children are allowed to do what they wish to
    小题3:The main idea of the passage is that _______.
    A．parents should leave their children alone
    B．kids should have more activities at school
    C．it's time to be more strict with our kids
    D．parents should always set a good example to their kids

    Many parents watch the news or other shows as children play nearby. But new research shows that even when the television is just background noise，it may be disruptive to a child’s normal development.
    It’s estimated that 75 percent of very young children in the United States live in homes where the television is on most of the time，even though the kids often aren’t watching it. The University of Massachusetts researchers recently studied how TV background noise might affect young children. The study looked at 50 1­，2­and 3­year­olds. Each child came to a lab with a parent and was allowed to play for an hour with various toys. For half the time，a television was on in the room，showing the adult game show as well as advertisements. During the other half hour，the TV was turned off.
    As expected，the children paid little attention to the adult television show，glancing at it for less than a few seconds at a time，and less than once a minute. Even so，the distraction (分心) of the background noise had a significant effect on how children at every age played. When the television was on，the children played with each toy for far shorter periods of time，and focused attention during play was also shorter compared to how they played when the TV was off.
    Researchers said that even though the children aren’t interested in the show，background TV affects their ability to do various types of play. The finding is important because many well­meaning parents who wouldn’t let their young children watch television may not realize that even adult programs that don’t interest children still can have an effect.
    “Background TV is potentially a chronic (长期的) environmental risk factor affecting most American children，” said the lead author of the study. “Parents should limit their young children’s exposure (接触)．”
    小题1:We know from the passage that________.
    A．background TV noise has little effect on adults
    B．most young children in America live in homes exposed to TV noise
    C．the effect of background TV noise on children is immediate
    D．most parents in America wouldn’t let their children watch TV
    小题2:The underlined word “disruptive” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to________.
    A．harmfulB．importantC．similar D．related
    小题3:In the study，the children________.
    A．were all 3­year­oldsB．were asked to watch adult TV shows
    C．played for an hour while the TV was onD．played with more than one toy
    小题4:What does the study show?
    A．Children pay much attention to adult TV shows.
    B．Children should be allowed to watch TV for kids only.
    C．The background TV noise affects children’s ability to focus.
    D．The more toys a child has，the shorter time he plays with each one.

    We had known for along time that flowers of different plants open and close at different time of day. Yet no one really understands why flowers open and close like this at special time. The question is not as simple as we might think, as recent experiments have shown. In one experiment, flowers were kept in constant (持续的）darkness. We might expect that the flowers ,without any information about the time of the day, did not open as they usually do. In fact, they continue to open at their usual time. This shows that they have some special ways of knowing the time. Their sense(感觉) time does not depend on information from the outside world. It is inside them: a kind of "inner (内部的）clock". This discovery may not seem to be very important. However, it is later found that not just plants but animals have this "inner clock" which control（控制）the working of their bodies and influences their activities. Human beings, then, are also influenced by it. Whether we wish or not, itaffectssuch things in our life as our need for sleep or need for food.

    A．its age and size
