26、   We talk continuously about how to make children more “resilient (有恢复力的)”, but whatever we’re doing, it’s notworking. Rates of anxiety disorders and depression are rising rapidly among teenagers. What are we doing wrong?

Nassim Taleb invented the word “antifragile” and used it to describe a small but very important class of systems that gain from shocks, challenges, and disorder. The immune (免疫的) system is one of them: it requires exposure to certain kinds of bacteria and potential allergens (过敏原) in childhood in order to develop to its full ability.

Children’s social and emotional abilities are as antifragile as their immune systems. If we overprotect kids and keep them “safe” from unpleasant social situations and negative emotions, we deprive (剥夺) them of the challenges and opportunities for skill-building they need to grow strong. Such children are likely to suffer more when exposed later to other unpleasant but ordinary life events, such as teasing and social rejection.

It’s not the kids’ fault. In the UK, as in the US, parents became much more fearful in the 1980s and 1990s as cable TV and later the Internet exposed everyone, more and more, to those rare occurrences of crimes and accidents that now occur less and less. Outdoor play and independent mobility went down; screen time and adult-monitored activities went up.

Yet free play in which kids work out their own rules of engagement, take small risks, and learn to master small dangers turns out to be vital for the development of adult social and even physical competence. Depriving them of free play prevents their social-emotional growth. Norwegian play researchers Ellen Sandseter warned: “We may observe an increased anxiety or mental disorders in society if children are forbidden from participating in age adequate risky play.”

They wrote those words in 2011. Over the following few years, their prediction came true. Kids born after 1994 are suffering from much higher rates of anxiety disorders and depression than did the previous generation.

What can we do to change these trends? We can’t guarantee that giving primary school children more independence today will bring down the rate of teenage suicide tomorrow. The links between childhood overprotection and teenage mental illness are suggestive but not clear-cut. Yet there are good reasons to suspect that by depriving our naturally antifragile kids of the wide range of experiences they need to become strong, we are systematically preventing their growth. We should let go—and let them grow.

【1】Why does the author mention the immune system in Paragraph 2?

A.To stress its importance. B.To analyze the cause of anxiety.

C.To question the latest discovery. D.To help understand a new word.

【2】Parents overprotect children because ________.

A.they are concerned about their children’s safety

B.they want to keep children from being teased

C.parent-monitored activities are a must

D.children are not independent enough

【3】According to the author, free play can ________.

A.promote children’s resilience

B.strengthen children’s friendship

C.reduce children’s risky behavior

D.develop children’s leadership skills

【4】Which of the following does the author probably agree with?

A.Stop trying to perfect your child.

B.It takes great courage to raise children.

C.Prepare the child for the road, not the road for the child.

D.The more exposed the children are to the risks, the more resilient they would become.

27、Some coffee shops in Norway are hoping to solve the problem of loneliness. They’ve come up with a clever idea to supply ceramic mugs (马克杯) labeled “Skravlekopp”. This translates roughly as “chatterbox” or, as a Norwegian friend explained to me, “someone who barely stops talking, but not in a negative sense”.

The idea is that you can choose to have your coffee served in a green Skravlekopp as a way of signaling to others nearby that you feel like chatting. Someone with a similar urge for companionship can sit down with you and you’ve suddenly got a friend, at least for a short while.

It might seem like a lot of extra effort just to strike up a conversation with a stranger, but the fact is that many people have lost that skill, especially younger generations that now have more contact with people over texting and social media than face-to-face. It can feel awkward and uncomfortable to approach someone, not knowing if they want to talk. But with Skravlekopp, a simple mug bridges that gap.

“It turns out that we up here in the north are a little shy and often afraid to disturb others. We need a little signal that we are available and that it is allowed to have a little talk. Maybe you can talk to someone you’ve never talked to before, maybe you can teach something you’re good at, maybe you know something you didn’t know, maybe you can meet again, maybe not. You can be the little human meeting someone needs today,” said a customer in his post on the Internet.

And people do need it more than ever. Ours has been called the “age of loneliness”, and in the United States about 20 to 30 percent of the population suffer from it. Last year it was reported that around 200,000 older people in the UK had not had a conversation with a friend or relative in more than a month.

So we need initiatives like this. I hope other towns and cities take note, realizing that it doesn’t take much to put a smile on someone’s face and make their day.

【1】If a customer uses a Skravlekopp mug, it indicates that he or she ______.

A．is in trouble and needs help

B．is sad and looking for comfort

C．hopes to have someone to talk with

D．wants to drink coffee in a different way

【2】Why do many young people have trouble with face-to-face communication?

A．They aren’t good at expressing themselves.

B．They don’t feel like connecting with people.

C．They lack the chance of approaching people.

D．They rely too much on phones and the Internet.

【3】What does the author think of the initiative?

A．It is very effective.

B．It is quite necessary.

C．It will increase coffee sales.

D．It has room for improvement.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A．A coffee mug can find you a friend

B．A coffee mug can get rid of your pressure

C．What a coffee mug means to your life

D．How a coffee mug shapes your character

28、Encouragement and praise can come in many forms, and some ways are better for child development than others. Researchers at the University of Chicago who studied mother-child interactions found that the type of praise children receive affects their attitudes toward challenges later in life. Specifically, praise coming with feedback about their behavior helped them to deal better with difficult experiences five years later, compared with compliments that focused more on the child himself, like “You’re a good boy.”

“This is something we suspected that would be the case based on a lot of experimental research, and it’s exciting to see it plays out in the real world,” says Elizabeth, a professor of psychology at Temple University, who led the study. “Praising the efforts, actions and work of the kid is going to be more beneficial in the long run.”

Such “process praise” includes comments such as “You worked really hard” or “You’re doing a great job,” which emphasize the child’s actions. “Person praise” includes comments like “You’re so smart” or “You’re so good,” which focus on a child’s inner qualities. These distinctions aren’t new in the field of psychology, but exactly how they affect children’s development over the years hasn’t been clear.

As part of the study, researchers visited the homes of more than 50 toddlers between the age of 1 and 3 years old, and filmed their daily interactions with their parents during multiple 90-minute sessions. Five years later, the researchers followed up with the families, using questionnaires to measure the children’s attitudes toward challenges and problem solving. The children who grew up with more process praise were more open to challenge, and could identify more ways of overcoming difficult problems. While person praise didn’t seem to have any negative effect on the children, process praise teaches children that their talents and abilities can be developed and improved, while person praise sends the message that their abilities are fixed and therefore not easily changed.

【1】Hearing the praise “You’re a good boy”, kids may ________.

A．get proper feedback from parents

B．think that their abilities are fixed and not easily changed

C．have effective interaction with parents

D．be willing to solve problems they met

【2】Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A．Praising inspires kids to form good personal quality.

B．Praising kids is considered beneficial in the long run.

C．Researchers doubts whether kids should be praised.

D．The praising experiment is carried out in real situation.

【3】The underlined word distinctions in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.

A．conditions

B．differences

C．exceptions

D．appearances

【4】From the last paragraph we can learn that ________.

A．Kids should not be praised too frequently

B．Different kids should be praised differently

C．Process praise is less effective as we expected

D．Kids with process praise tend to be more creative

【5】What is the main purpose of the passage?

A．To introduce a better way to praise kids.

B．To recommend two different praising ways.

C．To predict the result of process praising.

D．To report the process of praising experiment.

29、Nowadays, more and more people are moving to big, noisy cities from small villages. They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years.

In many countries, the main reason people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a residential area nearby, too. The families of these workers need schools, hospitals and shops, so many people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.

In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices. In the USA, this area is usually in the city center downtown. It is here that you can see many huge skyscrapers and office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the city center. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.

But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger and bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years, and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages.

【1】Why do people move to live in cities or towns?

A．Because they would like to live a more comfortable life there.

B．Because they mainly want to find a job there.

C．Because they like noisy life better than peaceful life.

D．Because they are sure of having a better life there.

【2】Which of the following statement is NOT true about the business district?

A．Big companies usually have their main offices in the business district.

B．Nearly every major city has its own business district.

C．A business district usually lies in the city center downtown.

D．The people working in the business district in America only need to travel a short way to work.

【3】In the USA, many people ________.

A．work in the center of a big city but live in the suburbs of the city

B．work in the suburbs of a big city and live there

C．work in the center of a big city and live there

D．work in the center of a big city but live in rural areas

【4】We can infer that this movement from rural to urban areas ________.

A．has now stopped already

B．will surely continue in the future

C．has been going on for more than 2,000 years

D．may not continue in the future
