26、What do you know about Sweden (瑞典)? Northern lights or Sweden’s funiture store, IKEA?
However, some Sweden’s customs are unique in the world, including the following.
Fika Custom
Fika is the Swedish custom of having coffee, cakes and a chat. This custom, which can be used as a noun and a verb, is so important to Swedish culture that many companies even make fika a rule, since it’s believed to be good for employees’ mental health.
At work, you might fika once in the morning and then again in the aftenoon, and then fika again later with friends!
Flogsta Scream
Every night at about 10 pm, in the city of Uppsala’s Flogsta neighborhood, the students of Uppsala University open their windows and scream into the night. It’s believed the custom may have been started by students in the 1970s or 1980s to become less stressed around exam time.
Students at Stockholm University also have a neighborhood scream called the Lappkarr Cry, and Lund University has the Delphi Roar.
Donald Duck on Christmas Eve
Every Christmas Eve at 3 pm, families across Sweden sit down to watch the 1958 Disney
Christmas Special, which is known in Sweden.

27、For teenagers, it's great fun to explore new places and it feels like an adventure, even when you know you're not the first to have been there. But to make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles, the following tips may be helpful.
◆Do the map reading if you're being driven somewhere. It'll be easier if you keep the map following the direction you are traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn, or you'll have to move to the back seat.
◆ Get a group of friends together and go exploring. You'll need a good map, a compass , a raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies .Tell someone where you're going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back. The purpose of the activity is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up.
◆See if your school or a club organizes orienteering(越野识途比赛)activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B(and B to C, etc. ) in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity. It enables you to be familiar with the use of maps and compass and gain some special skills. In some way, it’s not only good fun, but also a great way to keep fit.
【1】When you sit beside the driver, you’d better________.
A. look ahead to see where there is a gas station
B. move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortable

28、Patience is one of those things we wish and may even pray for, but still it feels like it’s an unreachable goal because kids are so good at pushing our buttons. But one thing I’ve learned after being a mom for 33 years is that patience is like a muscle and you can get better at it if you continually exercise your patience muscles. No weightlifter starts with a 200-pound weight. They start with small weights, and as they learn to control the small weights, they keep increasing the weights. If you’d like to grow your patience muscles, then I have a plan for you.
When you feel your patience wearing thin, the first baby step you can take is to walk away or give yourself a time-out. Whatever it takes for you to calm down—deep breathing, counting to 10 or sending your child to his or her room, do it. This is so critical because what you say in anger and what you say when you feel calm are two different things,
Once you feel you are somewhat calm, listen to your child. This means you’ll have to stop talking, and let them speak without your correction. As you listen, seek to understand instead of being concerned about whether your child is listening to you. Try to figure out why they’re acting a certain way and why they respond as they do. There’s always a possible reason for your child’s behavior. Listening to your kids can help you know the true reason.
Besides, I encourage you to filter (过滤) your words. Think about what you are about to say and how it will sound to your child. I understand that filtering every word that comes out of your mouth is not a realistic goal. But you can start by filtering your responses in conversation that is about sensitive (敏感的) topics. It’s a very good start.
The more you take small steps in patience-building, the stronger your patience will become. It will take time but eventually, your parenting patience will increase.
【1】What does the author intend to tell us in the first paragraph?
A.Building patience is a difficult task.
B.Patience can be improved through practice.
C.Lacking patience is a common problem among kids.
D.Patience is an important soft skill for successful athletes.
【2】What does the underlined word “critical” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Important.
B.Difficult.
C.Pleasant.
D.Polite.
【3】Why does the author advise parents to listen to their kids?
A.To calm down faster.
B.To win the trust of kids.
C.To understand the kids better.
D.To improve kids’ performance at home.
【4】What lesson can parents mainly learn from Paragraph 4?
A.Look before you leap.
B.Every man has his value.
C.Put yourself in others’ shoes.
D.All your efforts will pay off.
