21、 A 22-year-old young man from Northeastern China, is reported to have spent 2 million yuan on studying in New Zealand but failed to get any diploma (毕业证). He even could not take care of himself and his grandmother had to feed him.
To use a popular label, the man in the case is a so-called adult baby, because his deeds make him al-most the same as a baby. However, he burns money faster than any normal baby. He spent 2 million yuan in two years overseas, but could not finish even the preparatory course. We do not mean to judge his choice, but someone who lacks the basic ability to survive has little chance of success in any modern society.
In a later interview, his mother was in tears and said she regretted not having taught her son well. She also told the story about how she “educated” her son: by meeting all his demands. When he did not perform well in school, she simply spent money sending him overseas. She would buy whatever he wanted. That was bad for her and bad for him.
No one is born an adult baby. It is a lack of proper education that makes adult babies. The failure of the young man has much to do with his parents giving in to his every demand.
The young man might be an extreme case. However, there are many more families that fail to educate their children properly and simply consider “raising a child” as “buying everything” they want. That might in turn make more adult babies for this society, and it is time for them to change.
【1】What can we learn about the young man?
A.He is the only one child in his family.
B.He is poor in study but good at spending money.
C.His grandmother loves him more than anyone else.
D.He did well in school before he went to New Zealand.
【2】Why did the young man’s mother send him to study abroad?
A.The young man’s family was wealthy enough.
B.She wanted to satisfy her son’s need.
C.The young man could achieve his dream there.
D.She intended to offer her son better education.
【3】____________should be to blame for the young man’s situation.
A.His overseas university
B.His aged grandmother
C.The education system
D.His mother’s education manner
【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A.To warn parents baby adults.
B.To explain what is a baby adult.
C.To share a story about an overseas student.
D.To raise the problems with foreign education.

23、 Nail biting and hair pulling are two forms of body language. Both nail biting and hair pulling can be either conscious or subconscious body language gestures, each showing some interesting aspects of the character, emotion and inner working of the individual.
Nail biting is a non-verbal gesture. In adults it’s often a habit adopted and carried through from childhood and can become apparent in stressful situations throughout adulthood. To most people, nail biting is associated with nervousness and shyness and is an involuntary response to certain social situations. In many cases, it’s an adaptor behaviour that channels nervous energy, inactivity or boredom and doesn’t disturb normal functioning. In severe cases nail biting can become a repetitive behaviour that is intentionally performed. It can result in great physical damage.
So when we look deeper, in both adults and children, it has been suggested that severe nail biting is often referred to as a method of “self-heating”. This indicates that nail biting is a subconscious behaviour indicating increased anxiety and low self-confidence.
Hair pulling can indicate a number of emotions and behaviors. For example, children who bite their nails or frequently pull their hair may be nervous or have low self-confidence. Hair pulling may be a comforting action for a child who is tense and anxious, and may become habitual later in life in stressful situations. Routine and severe hair pulling can be a compulsive disorder that may be linked to genetics, anxiety and depression. It’s most commonly thought to be a stress-related condition.
However, hair puling is also another non-verbal body language that can signify different things in different situations. For example, in some situations, it can mean interest and desire. However, in other situations, it can suggest anxiety, incompetence, uncertainty or shyness.
【1】What does the text say about nail biting?
A.It doesn’t harm its doer physically. B.It stops its doer functioning normally.
C.It isn’t a gesture only made by children. D.It is a commonly used way to avoid shyness.
【2】According to the text, children who often pull their hair .
A.may take no interest in something B.may feel quite sure of themselves
C.must suffer from lack of desire D.may not feel at ease at all
【3】The underlined word “signify” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “ “.
A.explain B.indicate
C.hide D.summarize
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.How to Read Forms of Body Language?
B.What Do Nail Biting and Hair Pulling Suggest?
C.How to Express Ourselves with Body Language?
D.What Are the Deep Meanings of Body Language?
24、 The entire family was here recently –14 in all, including six kids under the age of 5. We had a joint birthday party for two of the grandkids.
The day after everyone cleared out I noticed that the drain stopper(排水塞)was missing from downstairs bathroom sink.
The last thing you want to do is accuse your own fresh and blood of stripping hardware from your bathroom, but a drain stopper doesn’t just wash itself down the drain.
So I sent out a carefully-worded e-mail saying what a wonderful time we had and asking if anyone had accidently tucked a drain stopper in a purse, pocket or suitcase. I even attached a picture of a drain stopper in case there was any doubt as to what the missing part looked like.
Our son responded that he thought his 10-month-old might have eaten it. He said he’d let us know if they found it in the next day of two.
Our youngest daughter responded that she thought she saw it in her husband’s lunchbox that morning, but she could be wrong.
Our oldest daughter replied that she had suspected her sister’s husband all along. He replied that he had been framed.
Our oldest daughter then checked the guilt of one of her twins with following exchange:
Mommy: “Do you know where Grandma’s drain stopper is?”
Three-year-old: “Yeah, let me show you.” (Heads to the bathroom.)
Mommy: “No, not ours, where is Grandma’s? Did you take it?”
Three-year-old: “I think she took it.” (She points at her 18-month-old baby sister). “She’s a naughty kid.”
Naturally, the 18-month-old defended herself by saying: “Bububbubnananabublalala!”
The next day, an email arrived from our daughter-in-law. “Guess what I found in my laundry this morning? I thought the dryer was louder last night.”
Our “perp” was short. He has a known history of building and disassembling, is mechanically inclined, determined and just turned 3.
It’s always good to know a child’s interests and talents. We have a valve(阀门)that occasionally drips under the kitchen sink. I may have him take a look at it the next time he’s here. But I’ll pat him down before he leaves.
