One of their greatest desires was to raise decent, loving children who had an opportunity to finish college.My brother, Gene, never hesitated to learn new things. He had an artistic hand, so he went into fine arts for a while. He also did a lot of screens about puters.

The meaning of life consists in its dedication, not its length.CA simple gesture can be formed into a childs memory so quickly that it will cause the child to give a false answer to a question acpanied by that gesture. A new finding suggests that parents, social workers, psychologists and lawyers should be careful with their hands as well as their words.While memories of both adults and children are easy to react to suggestions, those of children are known to be particularly influenced, said lead researcher Sara Broaders of Northwestern University. Kids are used to looking to adults to tell events for them and can be misled even if not intentionally.Previous research, for example, has shown that detail-loaded questions often cause false answers. When asked, say “Did you drink juice at the picnic?” the child is likely to say “yes” even if no juice had been available. It is not that the child is consciously lying, but rather the detail is quickly formed into his or her memory.To avoid this problem, social workers have long been advised to ask children only open-ended questions, such as “What did you have at the picnic?” But an open-ended question paired with a gesture, briefly meaning a juice box, is treated like a detailed question. That is, children bee likely to answer falsely.And it isnt just a few kids: 77% of children gave at least one piece of false information when a detail was suggested by an ordinary gesture. Gestures may also bee more popular when talking with non-fluent language users, such as little kids, Broaders said as hand movements can impart meaning of unfamiliar words and phrases, it certainly seems reasonable that adults would gesture more with children.In general, Broaders advises parents and other adults to “try to be aware of your hands when questioning a child about an event. Otherwise, you might be getting answers that dont reflect what actually happened.”28. According to the text, gestures _.A. have not any function at allB. are rarely used by peopleC. have certain effect on childrenD. are often used by social workers29. Why are kids easy to be misled by gestures according to Sara Broaders?A. These gestures are very attractive.B. Their memories are affected easily.C. Children are easy to tell lies.D. these gestures are used frequently.30. According to the text, which of the following questions may cause a wrong reply?A. What will you have for lunch?B. Did you cheat in the last English examination?C. Where are you going Lucy?D. Did you see anything else last night?31. The underlined word “impart” in Paragraph 5 means _. A. separateB. tell apartC. confuseD. pass onDActors Keira Knightley and Kristen Bell have both mented on their worries about using Disney princesses as role models for their children.On a famous talk show, Knightley said her daughter (who was born in xx) was “banned” from watching Cinderella, which Disney produced as a cartoon in 1950 and a live-action film in xx. “Cinderella waits around for a rich guy to rescue her. Dont. Rescue yourself! Obviously.” Knightley added that she had also forbidden The Little Mermaid, the 1989 cartoon. “This is the one that Im quite annoyed about because I really like the film. I mean, the songs are great, but do not give up your voice for a man. Well, thats a little difficult to handle, but Im keeping to it.”Bell, the star of Frozen, expressed her disapproval of the Snow White fairytale, which became a classic Disney cartoon in 1938. In an interview with parents, Bell said: “I look at my girls and ask, Dont you think its very unusual that Snow White didnt ask the old witch why she needed to eat the apple? Or where she got that apple? I say, I would never take food from a stranger, would you? And my kids respond, No! And I think Im doing something right.”Bell, who played a Disney princess in Frozen, said she also used the story to illustrate issues about permission. She says that she asked her children: “Dont you think that its very strange that the prince kisses Snow White without her permission? Because you cannot kiss someone if theyre sleeping!”Bell later responded to criticism on social media. To one user she wrote: “Everything is a message to our children, because they are sponges(海绵) that soak up everything and are learning how to be adults through what they see. I want my girls to see and practice critical thinking and respectful behavior.” 32. Why did Knightley stop her daughter from watching The Little Mermaid?A. Because Knightley disliked it.B. Because the little mermaid was tricky.C. Because the film showed wrong values.D. Because the songs in the film were annoying.33. What can we infer about Bell from Paragragh 4? A. Bell thought Snow White behaved well.B. Bell didnt know how to persuade her kids.C. Bell wanted her kids to learn from Snow White. D. Bell believed her kids should be critical about the film.34. What qualities do Knightley and Bell expect their children to have?A. curious and hard-working.B. smart and generous.C. independent and good-mannered.D. critical and proud.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Say No to Disney Princesses.B. Rescue Yourselves.C. Doing Something Right.D. Practice Critical Thinking.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。People e into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
