reading materials, a book list for children made by experts was recently released (发布) at the chinese museum of women and children.the list called kingdom of little bookworms is divided into two parts - one for children aged 3 to 6, and the other for those above 6. we still dont have an official system of reading levels in china, says bai bing, an experienced childrens book writer. more than half of the 35 books recommended（推荐）for children under age 6 are picture books in simple language, while the other 42 books for older children deal with wider topics and require better reading ability.during the book lists release, experts also thought that parents role in forming childrens reading habit was very important. at home, if parents watch tv and are on gadgets all the time, its hard to imagine that their children will have a good reading habit, says wang zhigeng, director of the childrens book section at the national library of china. action speaks louder than words. if parents themselves like reading and buying books, the children will follow them and reading will become a familys culture.wang points out that reading aloud for the children is important. he says: to

zebras, wild pigs, deer and giraffes.there is a wild road leading through the park, but nobody is permitted to walk on the road. anyone traveling in the park has to go in a car because wild animals

are killed for their horns, which are used in traditional chinese medicines for colds and headaches. perhaps they will be seen only in museums and books one day.travelers may buy food for the animals. they can feed them when they tour the park. of course, they should not feed them in a close distance because the wild animals may attack people. in addition, they should only give proper food to the

complaining to a nurse about one patients family. the patient was dying, and the young doctor had organized a meeting with the family to talk about withdrawing life-support machines and starting comforting measures. the family had spent the entire meeting asking questions but then refused to make any decisions or withdraw any treatments.“i spent all this time telling them we could continue to make their loved one suffer pain or we could make him comfortable,” he said, “i told them suffering or comfort-it was their decision. but in the end, they made no decision and just walked right out of the room!”the way doctors and patients approach medical decisions has changed sharply over the last 50 years. for generations, these decisions were made by doctors, and patients often had little say in the final choice. but that decision-making process(过程) began to change in the late 1960s.for the next 40 years, young doctors, myself included, would be trained to restrain（抑制）ourselves from making anything but emergency or small decisions for patients.but a new study shows that too much physician restraint may not be all so good for the patient. researchers interviewed more than 8,000 patients at the university of chicago. when it came to medical decisions, most patients-two out of three-also preferred that their doctors made the final decisions regarding their medical care. “the data says that most patients dont want to make these decisions on their own,” said dr. farr . curlin.for doctors, then, the key to preserving patient-centered care-lies not in letting patients make the final decisions alone but in respecting their opinions and shouldering the responsibility. “we have to stop drawing a circle around patients and their families,” dr. curlin said. “we have to stop forcing them to suffer the loneliness and burden of autonomy(自主性) and instead begin standing in that circle with them.”28. the young doctor the author worked with complained that one patients family_. were too rude to him b. kept asking him questions c. didnt agree with his decision d. made no decision on how to treat the patient29. the underlined word “withdraw” in paragraph 1 can be replaced by_. paying for b. making a change for c. considering using d. stopping using30. to preserve patient-centered care, doctors should _. let patients make the final decisions aloneb. respect patients opinion and help to make decisionsc. draw a circle around patients and their familiesd. request autonomy for their patients31. what can we learn from the text?. most patients prefer to make decisions on their own.b. letting patients make decisions by themselves is good for them.c. patients used to have little right in making decisions before the late 1960s.d. young doctors will be trained to make decisions for their patients in the future.dbad news sells. if it bleeds, it leads. no news is good news, and good news is no news. those are “the classic rules” for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. but now that information is being spread and monitored（监控）in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. by tracking peoples e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories. “the if it bleeds rule works for mass media,” says jonah berger, a scholar at the university of pennsylvania. “they want your eyeballs and dont care how youre feeling. but when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. you dont want them to think of you as a debbie downer. ”researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communicatione-mails, web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations found that it tended to be more positive than negative, but that didnt necessarily mean people preferred positive news. was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? to test for that possibility, dr. berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on the new york times website. he and a penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. one of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. he found that science amazed times readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others. readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them just sad. they needed to be aroused（激发）one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. the more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared as dr. berger explains in his new book, “contagious: why things catch on. ”32. what are the classic rules mentioned in the text suitable for? a. news reports. b. research papers. c. private e-mails. d. daily conversations. 33. what can we infer about people like debbie downer?a. theyre not socially active. b. theyre good at telling stories. c. theyre not considerate towards others. d. theyre careful with their words. 34. which tended to be the most e-mailed according to dr. bergers research?a. sports news. b. science articles. c. personal stories. d. financial reviews. 35. what can be a suitable title for the text?a. sad stories travel far and wide b. online news attracts more peoplec. reading habits change with the times d. good news beats bad on social networks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。 knowing how and when to say goodbye is often difficult, even in informal situations. 36 it will help you keep your relationships and let people know you care. its also easier than it seems sometimes. read on to learn how to recognize opportunities and predict others needs when you leave.recognize when to leave. when youre at any kind of party, or even a one-on-one conversation，it can be difficult to get away. learning to recognize good opportunities to leave will make a goodbye much easier. 37 if more than half the people have left, it might be a good time to leave. 38 overstaying your welcome is rude, but it can often be difficult to tell. people dont like telling you that theyd like you to leave，so try to watch for signals. this may be some other family members starting to check their watch or even pack up or the fact that there is hardly anyone left.make plans to see each other again. saying，“see you at school tomorrow” or “cant wait to see you again at christmas” keeps the goodbye light and focused forward.

any more complicated(复杂的) than that.a. watch body language.b. leave when you want.c. notice if the crowd seems to be reducing.d. even saying, “see you soon” suggests just that.e. if you want to
