14．Going to a friend's house is very exciting．You may spend time with a friend and get to see where he lives．So remember to be polite．
When to arrive
The first thing to remember is that when a friend invites you over，you need to arrive on time．If your friend tells you to come"around 3：00"，that means you can turn up a little bit after 3：00．But usually it is a good idea to arrive at the right time．
What to bring
Often it is also nice to bring something to your friend's house．This could be a box of chocolates for you two to share，or maybe a movie that you can watch together．You can also bring some flowers．A little gift is a nice way to show your friend that you are excited to be at his house．
How to greet
When you visit your friend's house，you may also meet his parents．You should tell them who you are and they may tell you their names．As a child，I went to visit my friend Paul．I called his parents by their first names John and Mary．But now I know it is more polite to call them Mr．or Mrs．Smith．This will show them more respect and then they may tell you to call them by their first names．Another way to show respect is to call them Madam or Sir．
It is a cool thing to visit a friend's house．Be polite to your friend and your friend's parents，and you will be invited again!

13．When a baby is seven months old，he or she can already feel，hear，taste，smell and see．As a new mother，you should know that your child is ready to learn about the world from birth．
Touch．One of the most important ways of communicating a mother has with her baby is touch．Babies enjoy gentle touch and rhythmic（有节奏的） movement．While inside the mother，the baby is used to being rocked by the mother's movements．After birth，the same rocking movements comfort him or her．Crying babies often become quiet by being put close to the mother's body and gently rocked．Even the most common activities-feeding and bathing the baby，or walking with the baby in your arms-improve the baby's sense of touch and movement．
Smell and Taste．Even at birth，babies show that they can recognize different kinds of smells by avoiding unpleasant ones．They quickly learn to recognize familiar smells，especially their mothers'．Although their taste organs（器官） aren't completely developed，they can tell sweet from sour and much prefer the former．
Hearing．A baby listens to your voice，your heartbeat，breathing，and so on．When his or her head is pressed against your chest，those familiar sounds are comforting，and many babies fall asleep in this position．You may notice that high-pitched（高声的） voices are more pleasant to babies，so men should raise the pitch of their voices when speaking to them．As a baby gains more control over his or her head movements，it becomes clear that he or she can correctly identify（确认） the location of a sound source．Loud，sharp noises often upset babies，while soft，rhythmic sounds calm them down．Music boxes，toys that make pleasant sounds and soft music stimulate（激发） the babies'sense of hearing．

I used to love science class-all of them-biology，chemistry，geography，and physics．I think I liked those classes because I felt that it helped me understand what the world works．For example，when I was a child，the rain was a mystery．In one class，I learned it rained．I think science classes clear up mysteries．But then there was always more mysteries look into．What was my least favorite class？That was maths．After learn the basics of the subject，nothing else seemed very practically to me．I never saw how I can use it in my daily life．

8．It is said that there are about 40，000different kinds of jobs in the world．（36）B
"Finding a job"is not the same as"choosing a job"．Many young people end up in a job which they are not suitable for．（37）F Here are a few steps to help you think about jobs which you might enjoy doing after school or university．
First，it is important to realize what kind of person you are，which special qualities make you different from everyone else and what you are interested in．（38）D If you like art and enjoy looking at pictures，that is an interest．But if you can draw a horse that looks like a horse instead of a big dog，that is a skill．
Then ask yourself this question：in the following three areas-skills with people，skills with information and skills with things-which are your best skills？
After examining your skills，the next step is research．To find out as many different kinds of jobs as possible，go to the library and read books，magazines and newspapers．（39）E
Finally，trust your own ideas and your own thinking!（40）A

A．It is your own life，so find something that you enjoy doing．
B．Choosing the right one itself is a difficult job．
C．We must know what our ideal jobs are．
D．There is a difference between an interest and a skill．
E．Ask your friends about the work they do．

G．Your parents may also give you some useful advice．

7．One key study published in 2009in Occupational & Environmental Medicine analyzed data on 3，122men to see whether the leadership qualities of their managers were associated with a risk for fatal or nonfatal heart attack and death due to heart disease．
Anna Nyberg，the lead author of the study and a researcher at the Stress Research Institute at Stockholm University，says there's an important view from the research："The longer you have worked at a workplace，the better or worse the situation becomes．So if you are working under a boss who stresses you in a destructive manner，and your possibilities or chances to change the situation are limited，you should try to change jobs as soon as possible．"
Research also has linked the degree to which supervisors demonstrate fairness （such as giving timely back information，including praise，and showing trust and respect） to employees'blood pressure．A small 2003study published in Occupational & Environmental Medicine found that workers'blood pressure readings were significantly higher when they worked for supervisors they perceived unfavorably on such characters than when they worked for supervisors they viewed more favorably．
A more recent meta-analysis published in 2012in the Journal of Applied Psychology looked at 279studies to examine the associations between perceived unfairness and employee health； it found a link between unfairness and mental health complaints，such as depression，and physical troubles，such as sleep problems，high blood pressure and being overweight．
"One of the ways that bad bosses work is through splitting people，"O'Connor，a psychotherapist in New York，says．"They play favorites and develop a network of informers，so that you don't trust anybody and you really do feel more isolated．You feel that there must be something wrong with me because everybody else seems to be getting along okay．"
This produces a fight-or-flight response，which causes your body to begin to change a lot-just as it would if you were running from a tiger baring its teeth，Kelloway says．Your breathing quickens and your heart beats faster as your body prepares to spring into action．When this stress response goes on too long or occurs too often，it can cause damage on the body by promoting other physiological changes that can increase the risk of a-long-time disease．
32．According to Anna Nyberg，what can you do if you work under an extremely bad boss？C

6．Well，parents，surprise!Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to thumb rides，and not just to school．It's awkward to be refused when you call a friend and ask for a ride．But with Twitter，you just look for other people heading the same way．
    It may sound risky，so many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides，and don't branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter just like me，but to some young people，especially those taking longer trips，stranger danger is less of a concern．
"I think the digital connection of young people is really key，because younger generations grew up sharing things on line，sharing files，photos，music，etc，so they've been very used to sharing，"said Juliet Schor，a sociology professor at Boston College．
    The sharing economy got big during the recession （经济衰退），allowing people to access more goods，services using technology and even to share costs．And that technology，for me，is what the car was for my mom，a gateway to more freedom，like what my friend Earl says，"The symbol of freedom isn't the car any more because there's technology out there connecting you to a car．"
According to the researchers at the University of Michigan，30 years ago，eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver's license compared to six in ten today．So it's not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasn't rushing to get a license but an iPhone．
"Driving，for young people，does mean they have to disconnect from their technology，and that's a negative．So if they could sit in the passage side and still be connected，that's going to be a plus．"Schor continued．
To me，another plus is that ride sharing represents something，something much bigger than trying to save money．I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other．My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar．For the system to work，some of us still need our own cars．But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle，you can find me on Twitter．
21．The American teens like me，prefer to possess an iPhone as a birthday gift becauseC．
A．it is most fashionable and cool              
B．they are bored with driving cars 
C．they are fond of being connected             
D．it is much cheaper than a car
22．We can learn from the text thatB．
A．Twitter is a website for teens to make friends and achieve goals
B．ride sharing can be seen as a sign that people still count on each other
C．driving cars for teens means a plus and connecting with technology
D．having a car and cost-sharing symbolize more freedom for the author's mother
23．Professor Juliet would agree thatD．
A．young people will sit waiting to be contacted by reading a passage
B．sharing economy is bound to be responsible for the recession
C．young people tend to share a car with strangers by means of Twitter 
D．being connected via technology is important for young people
24．The best title for the passage is probablyC．
A．Twitter，an Awesome Website              
B．Cars or iPhone
C．Teens Use Twitter to Thumb Rides         
D．Cool Teens on the Go．
