24、   “If you don't behave, I'll call the police” is a lie that parents might use to get their young children to behave. A new psychological(心理学的) study led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore suggests that it is connected with harmful effects when the children become adults.

The research team asked 379 Singaporean young adults whether their parents lied to them when they were children, how much they lie to their parents as adults, and how well they respond(响应) adulthood challenges.

The first questionnaire asked these young adults to recall if their parents told them lies about eating, leaving or staying, spending money and so on. Some examples of such lies are “If you don't come with me now, I will leave you here by yourself” and “I don’t bring money with me today, we can come back another day”. The second questionnaire included questions that could show how often they lie to their parents as adults. Lastly, these young adults filled in two other questionnaires that asked them about their psychosocial problems and tendency (趋势) to behave selfishly and impulsively(冲动地).

Adults who reported being lied to more as children were more likely to report lying to their parents in their adulthood. They also said they faced greater difficulty in meeting psychological and social challenges.

Lead author Setoh Peipei from NTU Singapore's School of Social Sciences said, “Parenting by lying

can seem to save time, especially when the real reasons behind why parents want children to do something are difficult to explain. When parents tell children that ‘honesty is the best policy’, but display dishonesty by lying, such behavior can send negative (消极的) messages to their children. Parents' dishonesty may finally erode trust and encourage dishonesty in children.”

“Our research suggests that parenting by lying is a practice that has negative influence on children when they grow up. Parents should be aware of these possible risks and consider other ways to replace lying, such as knowing children's feelings, giving information so children know what to expect, offering choices and solving problems together, to encourage children to have good behavior, ”said lead author Setoh Peipe.

But the study has its limitations. Some limitations of the study include depending on what young adults report about their parents' lying. “Future research can explore using many informants(提供信息的人), such as parents, to report on the same thing.” suggested Setoh.

【1】What did the research team do during the study?

A.They turned to 379 Singaporean children.

B.They looked for questionnaires on the Internet.

C.They collected answers to some sets of questions.

D.They asked the young adults parents for information.

【2】What does the underlined word “erode” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A.建立 B.增进 C.毁坏 D.恢复

【3】Which of the following might Setoh Peipei agree with?

A.Parents can sometimes tell harmless lies to their kids.

B.Parents had better explain to their kids why they’ve lied.

C.Parents who like lying are more likely to behave selfishly.

D.Parents should use positive ways instead of lying during parenting.

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A.Parents' lying to children can influence them negatively.

B.Parents lie to children to save themselves some trouble.

C.Children's behavior can be affected by their parents.

D.Children may lie more if their parents often lie.

25、

Everyone knows that it’s hard to drink in space because of the low gravity, but Chinese astronauts Jing Haipeng and Chen Dong showed us how they drank tea on a TV show during the month-long trip in Shenzhou XI spaceship last year. They used a specially made tea cup and a special Pu’er cream to drink tea while standing upside down.

The Pu’er tea cream they drank is produced in Yunnan province, which is known for its Pu’er tea industry.

“Drinking hot tea is harder,” said Jing Haipeng. “The difficult part of drinking tea in space is that there should not be anything left after the tea dissolves (溶解) in water, also, the solubility（溶解度）of the tea should be low since water in space can only be warmed to 60 degrees at most.”

The tea cream the astronauts drank is produced by Gongrunxiang Tea Industry Corp in Kunming. Zhang Guanghui, manager of Gongrunxiang, said that the company tries to produce a tea cream that’s a safe, healthy tea product. Tea products are often reported to be polluted by air and heavy metals. “I never imagined that one day our tea cream would help astronauts to drink tea in space,” Zhang said, adding that drinking tea in space can be seen as a turning point for the Pu’er tea industry.

“For us, astronauts’ drinking tea in space means our technology used in the tea industry has had some achievements,” Zhang said. “In the future, more tea producers will use it to improve the tea industry.”

【1】What can we learn from the passage?

A. Astronauts are able to enjoy many kinds of tea in space.

B. The tea cream is reported to be polluted by air and heavy metals.

C. The astronauts showed how they drank tea after returning to the earth.

D. The technology used in the tea industry may help the astronauts drink tea.

A. Drinking is very hard in the low-gravity situation.

B. The solubility of the tea should remain the same.

C. They have to use a kind of specially made tea cup.

D. There should be nothing left after the tea dissolves in water.

B. He thinks it might make Pu’er tea dissolve easily.

C. He thinks it might help improve the production of Pu’er tea.

D. He thinks it might help improve the tea industry and make Pu’er tea popular.

26、   These days, with digital(数码的) cameras and smartphones common in China, people can take photos wherever and whenever they like. Still, some Chinese enjoy taking photos at traditional studios(照相馆) with their family.

China Photo Studio, a time-honored studio in Beijing, is one of them. The studio uses old-style, wooden cameras and a century-old lens(镜头) and develops film the old way. To work better, the studio also uses digital cameras and buys some old-style cameras produced in modern times. "We stick to old traditions and also keep up with modern times." An officer of this studio said.

Many customers of this studio like taking photos there, because they don't appear unrealistic. "They only retouch the photos a bit, so you still look your age. Your photos have recorded your life.

The studio's most popular products are family photos and children's photos. And people like to take photos there to mark important family moments, such as parents' birthdays. The golden seasons for the studio are festivals and holidays. During important festivals. The studio sometimes welcomes about 300 families a day.

27、James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.

“J.C.”, he replied.

She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.

Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second-year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.

A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.

The stage was set for Owens’ victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African-American winners.

“It was all right with me,” he said years later. “I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.”

Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone call from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.

Owens’ Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles, and dogs.

“Sure, it bothered me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”

In time, however, his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,” he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.”
