As their father, I often say things that are unpopular. If they hate me once in a while, I know Im doing a good job.There are three other words that I wont allow in my house, however. Last week, I was watching my older son play with a paper airplane. After he accidentally threw it into a wall and it came apart, his eyes welled up with tears.“I hate myself,” he said. It wasnt the first time hed said it, and I was concerned that hed started to actually believe it.I knelt down next to him and made him look into my eyes. I told him that I never wanted to hear those words again, and that he needed to respect himself.The difference between your kid telling you they hate you and them saying they hate themselves is that, five minutes later, theyve already forgotten they “hate you”. Self-hate is much more potentially poisonous and for young people, it can linger into the rest of their life.Kids who start to believe they hate themselves sometimes struggle to form new friendships. As teenagers, they avoid the chance to connect with a potential love interest, because they assume theyll be rejected. And as adults, they might choose not to apply for the dream job because they assume it wont work out.I know this is true, because I didnt have a high opinion of myself as a child. I found myself struggling in many areas, and Id hate to see my children suffer the same fate.Sometimes, words are just words. But some words can make the kind of impact Id very much like to avoid for my children. I dont fear strong language; I fear language that makes us weak.24. How did the author feel on hearing his kids saying “I hate you”?A. Depressed. B. Annoyed. C. Unconcerned. D. Excited.25. Why wont the author allow the three words “I hate myself”?A. Because the impact of thinking in this way is negative.B. Because it hurts parents to hear their kids saying so.C. Because it doesnt make any sense to blame oneself.D. Because the impoliteness of saying so is unbearable.26. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “linger” in paragraph 5?A. e to an end B. continue to exist C. begin to change D. bee out of dateCFaraday was the inventor of the electric generator(发电机) and the electric motor. Faradays father suffered from long-time health problems. As a result, Faradays family had little money and Faraday got only the least formal schooling. Actually, he sometimes had only enough to eat. But Faraday was curious and determined to learn. While working in London as a teenager, he had a chance to know various books and he read everything he could get his hands on. Thus Faraday soon educated himself on a variety of scientific subjects, and his life as a scientist began.In 1812, Faraday attended four lectures at the Royal Institute given by a famous chemist named Humphrey Davy. Afterwards Faraday sent a letter to Davy, expressing a strong interest in the subjects covered in the lectures and offering his services as a helper. A year later, Davy accepted him as his lab assistant. Davy also took Faraday with him on an 18-month tour of Europe, where Faraday met some of the most famous scientists of the day.Thanks to his work with Davy, Faraday gained a plete scientific education. He soon began to do reseach and experiments with electricity. He constructed two machines to create electromagnetic rotation(电磁转动), the force used to power electric motors. Apart from helping Davy mostly, Faraday began to appear on his own as a chemist and scientist of great importance. He began to give frequent lectures. Soon he was accepted as a gifted lecturer and published many research papers.When Davy retired in 1827, Faraday took his place as the head of the chemistry department of the Royal Institute. Upon accepting the position he could focus on his own research, and Faradays best-known work began in the 1830s. In 1831, he discovered electromagnetic induction(感应). And for the next eight years Faraday worked long hours in the laboratory, which did harm to his health. By the end of the decade he was in such poor health that his research did not begin again until 1845.In the mid-1850s, as Faraday gradually lost the ability to take care of himself he was forced to retire from scientific studies. Queen Victoria offered him Faraday knighthood(爵士封号), but he refused it. He lived at Hampton Court, which Queen Victoria offered him, until his death on August 25, 1867.27. The text is mainly developed by _. A. following the time order B. analysing causes C. making parisions D. giving examples28. Faraday offered to be Davys helper because he wanted to _. A. meet other famous scientists B. travell all over the world C. get more chances to give lectures D. learn more about science.29. Which shows the correct order of the following events? Faraday discovered ecletromagnetic induction. Faraday taught himself on various scientific subjects. Faraday had an opportunity to do research and conduct experiments. Faraday began delivering speeches frequently and had many research papers published. Faraday met Davy and a year later he was fortunate enough to serve as Davys assistant. A. B. C. D. 30. What can we learn from Faradays story? A. Education is essentional. B. Poverty is an advantage. C. Talent is necessary. D. Constant efforts are the key to success.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Bee SmartThere are three things that will get you ahead in life: good looks, smarts and being considered as being smart.
