reaction to her complaint was eye-rolling, along with thinking, “being a kid is hard? are you kidding me?” as i mentally ticked off all the hard things that her mama does.however, as i thought about it a bit more, i realized how silly my reaction had been. yes, as we adults look back on our childhood, being a kid seems carefree and easy and full of fun. coloring at school! playing games! riding bikes! how could that be hard? so i asked my daughter why being a kid was so hard.her first answer didnt surprise me. “well, because you dont have your own phone, and you cant eat in the living room.”i asked if anything else was hard about being a kid. “someone else is the boss of you,” she replied.i thought some more. what else is hard about being a kid? well, sometimes, we dont really take kids seriously.there are times when ive responded to my childrens tears with “its not that bad,” or “you dont need to be upset about that.” because i believe that a cancelled playdate or a lost toy is no big deal. but for little ones, it is.we dont intentionally ignore these opportunities for connection, but sometimes, in busy moments of parenting, we respond unskillfully. we dont take our childrens view, and we miss an opportunity to practice compassion(同情心).21. what was the authors attitude toward “being a kid is hard” in the first place?a. dissatisfied. b. disapproving. c. curious. d. cautious.22. the author seems to _.a. have a happy childhood b. love drawing at schoolc. feel bored in childhood d. do hard things at school23. the authors daughter complained about _.a. terrible meals b. attending schoolc. boring toysd.lacking freedom24. according to the author, parents should _.a. do the same things as their childrenb. share their life societies with their childrenc. give

activity, but were also being urged to get out of our chairs-even if we do the right amout of exercise. the new guidelines focus not just on the exercise but on the amount of time we spend being sedentary(惯于久坐不动的). sedentary behavior is the term to describe physically inactive tasks that dont require lots of energy, basically sitting or sleeping. activities are often measured in mets (metabolic equivalent of task). sedentary activities are in between 1 and 1.5 mets, walking at a moderate pace ranges from 3 to 3.5 and jogging is about 7. in recent years, a growing body of research has linked sedentary behaviour to obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, some cancers. its considered such a risk that one us expert has gone so far as to suggest sitting for most of the day may be as dangerous to your health as smoking. experts state were sedentary on average for 7 to 10 hours a day (this doesnt include our time spent sleeping). even if you are meeting, or exceeding (超过), the recommended 60 minutes a day of physical activity, you can still be considered sedentary. the guidelines dont make any specific suggestions about how long you should sit for. instead they say we should “minimize the amount of time spent in prolonged sitting” and “to break up long periods of sitting as often as possible. ”28. from the passage we know that _.a. sedentary behavior is as dangerous to health as smokingb. sedentary behavior is likely to lead to some cancersc. we are sedentary for 7-10 hours a day in totald. we are healthy if we take one-hour physical activity a day.29. which may score the highest in mets according to the passage?a. sleepingb. readingc. shoppingd. running30. which way of behavior does the new guidelines advocate ? a. stand up or take a short walk between sittings b. exercise less than 60 minutes a day c. shorten the time of sleeping d. stand for a long time a day31. where does this passage probably come from? a. science fiction b. a scientific paperc. an advertisement d. a health reportdfew of us havent read cinderella, the story of a young woman living in poverty who meets the prince of her dreams. some might not want to admit it, but there is a hidden cinderella in everyones heartwe all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity(默默无闻).mary santiago has that secret dream, too. her story is featured in another cinderella story, a film set in a us high school.mary is shy but loves to dance. compared with other girls, she is invisible(隐形的). however, her world changes completely when a famous teenage pop singer, joey parker, appears.joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are notkind, handsome and desirable. mary and joeys paths cross at a ball. they meet and fall in love with each other. but when mary has to rush back home, she leaves behind her mp3 player, which becomes the only clue joey has to find the girl of his dreams. of course, there is a wicked stepmother, who turns out to be dominique blatt and she takes in mary after her dancer mother dies. dominique treats mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure mary doesnt get into the top dance school. her two daughters are equally determined to stop joey from falling for mary, even if that means embarrassing them.the story, though it mostly follows cinderella, does add a few modern-day twists to the classic fairy tale. refreshingly, the film, unlike many high school films, does not focus on looks, although the actors are all beautiful. there is also a lot less materialism in another cinderella story than in many similar movies.“the movie takes the cinderella fairy tale as a jumping off point,” writes movie critic amber wilkinson. “yet the focus is firmly on following your dream.”32. the first paragraph is mainly to_.a. inform us of the importance to marry a princeb. remind us why cinderella is popular all the yearsc. build interest and lead us to marys secret dreamd. tell us how interesting the fairy tale cinderella is33. in the movie, mary santiago is the main character who _.a. is badly treated by her stepmotherb. is brave in expressing her lovec. has a dream of meeting a princed. is embarrassed by the top singer34. what can we infer from the passage?a. joey is just like other boys in marys class.b. the mp3 player helps joey in finding mary.c. not many people have a dream to be realized.d. marys mother influences her a lot in singing.35. the passage is mainly about_.a. an introduction to mary santiagob. a review(评论) about a filmc. an essay about dreamsd. an advertisement of cinderella 第二节 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。（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） house-sittingin many countries of the world people do what is called house-sitting. it means that if owners of the house are going away, they want someone to come into their house and look after the house and maybe pets while they are away.in australia, many people travel. after people retire, they might buy a van and travel all over the country. 36 .so if someone wants to travel or go away for some reason, they might want someone in their house to care for it and keep the gardens tidy. house-sitters might have to care for pets. also, quite a few people have swimming pools in their back yards and they need cleaning. 37 i feel it is a great way of seeing the country, because you go and stay in a new city, get to meet new people, and have time to go sightseeing in a new area. 38 there are websites where you find the advertisements by people who want to travel, and by replying to the advertisements, you can make arrangements to go and look after their houses.there are some requirements to be a house-sitter. you must be a trusted person, so that the house owner knows you will not steal anything. you must be able to go when the house owner wants you to go, so you need lots of free time. 39 you need to be good with pets, able to care for cats and dogs, or other pets they may have.some house-sitting jobs are just for a few days or a couple of weeks while the house owners have a short holiday. sometimes it is for much longer. we have had a house-sitting job for six months, while the house owner travelled to europe. 40 then you can travel to many different countries and stay there. one of the important things to get is references from the house owners for whom you have done house-sitting. a reference is a written letter to say that you are trustworthy and have looked after their house well. you can show these letters to future house owners and they know you will do a good job.a. i have done house-sitting many times.b. thousands of people do this all the time.c. it is also possible to do house-sitting in other countries.d. generally you have many opportunities to get a house-sitting job.e. you must take a little care over what your description says about you.f. this is an international house-sitting service for all city and country areas.g. you must have a
