Some parents feel sad about this loss of their childrens closeness.Of course you miss those conversations and friendly talks.Once your children move out after high school and establish themselves confidently as a young adult，theyll come back for easy conversations and even ask for advice.But in order to determine who they are right now，they need to separate from you. Your job，however，is to keep them safeand that requires knowing where they are and who they are with.Let them know clearly that its not because you want to dominate their life and control them；its because its a safety issue for family members to keep track of one another. When theyre home and sit down to eat a meal，sit down with them.You need to open up to them about your life.Tell them of an interesting incident at the office，let them in on a bit of family gossip (闲谈)，discuss a piece of news with them.They are glad that you see them as old enough to be in on a few experiences of your life.By letting a teen in on your life，they just may let you in of theirs. 56The underlined word “That” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to “_” Ateens no longer tell parents their detailed information Bteens dont tell parents where they had been any more Cparents are impatient to listen to their children Dparents are occupied by doing their business 57The author believes that teens oneword answers show_. Atheir awareness of independence Btheir physical and mental changes Can unpleasant parentchild relationship Dtheir wishes for keeping silent 58. Whats the main idea of the last paragraph? AParents should understand their children. BParents should keep their children safe. CParents should open their hearts to their children. DParents should give their children enough freedom. 59Whats the authors purpose in writing the passage? ATo give advice. BTo direct teenagers. CTo present findings. DTo comfort parents. B “I swear，I didnt steal anything！” I shouted over the alarm.Obviously the security guard didnt believe me because he seized the shopping bag right out of my hand. “Do you have a receipt for this？” he asked doubtfully，putting any new backtoschool outfit (全套装备) onto the dusty floor near the mall entrance. “Of course I do， ” I replied，fishing my wallet out of my coat pocket.Elsie and Monica，my two best friends，stood beside me.They were laughing their heads off! I almost tore my wallet apart for the receipt，but it had disappeared.“Let me look again， ” I said nervously.Then I looked again，and again，and again！My face was getting hotter by the minute，and my heart was beating like a racehorse. Finally，I looked back at the guard and whispered， “Its not here.” The guard picked up my clothes and said， “Youll have to come with me，Miss.” When he opened the office door，I saw a man sitting behind a big metal desk.It was the manager.Then I had an idea. “May I say something？” I asked.“I can prove I didnt steal this thing.” Then I explained all about the cashier (出纳员)She said that she had bought the exact same outfit as a birthday present for her little sister.“Well just see about that， ” the manager said and went off to find her.Ten minutes later，I was free! It was terrible to be unfairly accused of something！Then I remembered shouting at my sister that very morning for taking my new hair clips.Had she really taken them？I made a promise that day never to accuse someone of something without proof，and I havent.At least something good came out of my terrible experience. 60Why didnt the security guard believe the author? ABecause she looked nervous at that time. BBecause she had no money in her wallet. CBecause she didnt have a receipt for the outfit. DBecause her face turned red after being caught. 61That the authors two friends laughed their heads off showed_. Athey didnt believe the author was a thief at all Bthey laughed at the author who stole things Cthey expected the author to be caught Dthey played a trick on the author 62Who proved that the author hadnt stolen anything? AThe manager. BThe cashier. CThe authors friends. DThe security guard. 63From her experience，the author learned that_. Ayou should believe in yourself in face of difficulty Bit is a terrible thing to be suspected by friends Cyou should ask for a receipt for whatever you buy Dyou should not doubt others if you cant prove it C Each new school year brings fresh reminders of what educators call the summer learning gap.Some call it the summer learning setback.Put simply，it means the longer kids are out of school，the more they forget.The only thing they might gain is weight. Most American schools follow a traditional ninemonth calendar with winter and spring breaks and about ten weeks of summer vacation.Some schools follow a yearround calendar.They hold classes for about eight weeks at a time，with a few weeks off in between.The National Association for YearRound Education says there were fewer than 3,000 such schools at last count.They were spread among fortysix of the fifty states. But many experts point out that the number of class days in a yearround school is generally the same as in a traditional school.Brenda McLaughlin is research director at the National Center for Summer Learning at Johns Hopkins University.She says studies of yearround schooling have not found strong learning gains.Lead researcher Paul von Hippel said， “Yearround schools dont really solve the problem of the summer learning setback.They simply spread it out across the year.” Across the country，research shows that students from poor families fall farther behind over the summer than other students.Experts say this can be prevented.They note that many schools and local governments offer programs that can help. But calling them “summer school” could be a problem.The director of the summer learning center at Johns Hopkins，Ron Fairchild，said research with groups of different parents in Chicago and Baltimore found that almost all strongly disliked the term “summer school” In American culture，the idea of summer vacation is connected to beliefs about freedom and the joys of childhood.The parents welcomed other terms like “summer camp” “extra time” and “handson learning” 64According to the first paragraph，the summer learning gap_. Ahelps children to gain weight Bleads children to work harder Cimproves childrens memories Daffects childrens regular studies 65Compared to traditional schools，students in the yearround ones_. Aperform better and have more learning gains Bhave much less time for relaxation every year Chave generally the same number of class days Dhold more classes with more free weeks off 66Which of the following statements is true? AStudents from poor families often fall behind after the vacation. BYearround schools can solve the problem of the learning gap. CThere are schools in each state following a yearround calendar. DNothing can help the students who fall behind after the vacation. 67Why did almost all parents dislike the term “summer school”？ AThey cherish the childrens rights of freedom very much. BThey are worried about the quality of the “summer school” CThey want their children to be forced to make up the gap. DThey cant afford the further study during the vacation. D To all of you at Chinese love links， I am 44 years old and never married.I have always wanted to find that perfect someone that I dream about.For about the last five years I have almost given up the hope of ever finding the one I truly wish to spend the rest of my life with. I have always tried to be a nice guy.I had found your website some four or five months before.I did not know what to expect.I dont know how to speak Chinese and never thought truly of how I was to an Asian woman. Well，I had a lot of replies from some very nice and pretty women.I had a hard time finding only a couple to write to.But one stood out from the rest.She was cute，nice and seemed to hold a lot of the same values as I do.In a short time I had decided to write only to her.We communicated via email 23 times a day and phone calls once or twice a week. I went and met her and her family only a week ago.Her name is Ying and she lives in Nanning.I found Nanning to be one of the most beautiful cities I had ever been to.We had even decided to marry and I wanted to bring her to the USA under the fiancee visa.Not only did she meet everything I had ever hoped to find in someone else but turned out to be what every woman should be like，at least the ones I have met.We plan to marry as soon as she is here and start a family together as neither of us has children but we both want them. So to anyone out there reading this，I can only say this：You may not find what you are looking for if youre not honest with your partner and yourself.This site worked for me mostly because I was honest with something that I wanted in someone else.When I did find her，love can work even across the other side of the world，between language differences and cultural differences.I wish you all luck in finding your perfect match.I have finally found mine and wish to give all my thanks to those at Chinese love links to help make it happen. Sincerely yours， Arthur 68We can infer from the letter that Chinese love links is a website to_. Ahelp foreigners to travel in China Bhelp both Chinese and foreigners to find one they want to marry Chelp Chinese and foreigners make friends Dreceive letters from the USA 69Which of the follo
