will be successful in his own way.several weeks ago，i was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. i kept asking him to sit down，telling him that he would concentrate better. he sat but seconds later，as if he didnt even notice he was doing it，he got up again. i was getting frustrated，but then it hit me. i started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up. could he be more focused while standing up?this made me start questioning myself and what i had been raised to believe. i was raised to believe that quiet，calm child was a sure way to success. this child would have the discipline to study hard，get good grades and become someone in important in life.now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of dna and personality traits(特点)，and all you can do is loving and accepting them. as parents，throughout their growing years and beyond that，we need to be our kids best cheer leaders，guiding them and helping them find their way.i have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. obviously，he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. we need to learn to accept our kids ways of doing things. some ways may have worked for me but doesnt mean we need to carry it through generations. there is nothing sweeter than being individual and unique. it makes us free and happy and thats just the way i want my kids to live their own life.51.at the beginning，the author tried to keep his sons seated in order to make him .a.get right answers b. pay more attention to his study c. finish his homework on time d. keep silent in the room52.inspired by the case of his son，the author began to doubt .a. the relationship between kids and their parents b. the importance of parents c. the good grades of some kids d. the old form of education53.from the passage，we learn that .a. parents should study their kids dna b. parents should love

sentence from an american friends emai1，i 1aughed. i thought it was a perfect examp1e of ching1ish(中式英语).obvious1y，it is a word-by-word trans1ation of the chinese greetings in eng1ish ！later on，my friend to1d me that it is a standard american greeting. but i didnt be1ieve her. so i did a researching on googl. to my surprise，there are over 60 thousand web pages containing long time no see. this sentence has been wide1y used in emai1s，1etters，newspapers，movies and even books . however，it needs to be corrected grammatica11y in microsoft word. it is be1ieved that it came from char1ie chans movies. in the 1930s，ho11ywood movie makers successfu11y created a wor1dwide famous chinese detective named char1ie chan on wide screens. “long time no see was his trademark. soon after char1ie chan，long time no see became a popu1ar phrase in the rea1 wor1d with thanks to the popu1arity of these movies.some scho1ars refer to america as a huge pot of stew. a11 kinds of cu1ture are mixed in thestew together，and they change the co1or and taste of each other. american chinese，though a minority ethnic (少数民族)group in the us，is a1so contributing some changes to the stew!you can have some other examp1es than adoptions(吸纳)from chinese，such as pizza from ita1ian,susi from japanese，and djvu from french etc. there is a 1ong 1ist! americans do not just simp1y borrow something from others. they try to make it their own. since americans appreciate chinese cu1ture more and more nowadays，i be1ieve more chinese words wi11 become american eng1ish in the future. in this way the american stew keeps adding richness and f1avor. 55. the writer himse1f fe1t surprised at .a. the ching1ish expression long time no seeb. finding out americans use the expression everyday c. so many 1itera1 trans1ation of the expressions used in americad. long time no see” used as standard american eng1ish 56. the word stew in the 4th paragraph probab1y means .a. a kind of cooked dish b. confucius wordsc. mixture literature d. american changing cu1tures57.according to the passage，it can be inferred that .a. detectives trans1ate the phrase” long time no seeb. adoptions in 1anguages rare1y happen in america c. hollywood made” long time no sees”popu1ar d. cu1tures cant be changed in the huge pot of stew58. the main idea of the passage is that .a. some american expressions can be used in china b. some chinese expressions are introduced into eng1ish c.you11 not be surprised at the tofu in a restaurant in america d. american eng1ish keep being enriched from other cu1turescare people less happy or more happy the older they get? if you answered more happy, then you were right, based on a study in 2008. it found that people usually become happier and experiences less worry after age fifty. in fact, it found that by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were at eighteen.the results came from a gallup survey of more than three hundred forty thousand adults in the united states in 2008. at that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.arthur stone in the department of psychiatry and behavioral science at stony brook university in new york led the study. his team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. stress levels dropped suddenly after people reached their fifties.happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their seventies. but the people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.the survey also found that men and women have similar emotional changes as they grow older. however, women at all ages reported more stress and worry than men did.the researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, losing jobs. but they found influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness related to age.so why would happiness increase with age? one reason is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better controlled of their emotions. they also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.59. we

i went over and found two salesmen in the showroom. “just how friendly is friendly ford?” i asked and explained my trouble. they quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. they would accept no payment, so when i got home, i wrote them a note to say thanks. i received a letter back from one of the salesmen. he said that no one had ever taken the time to write him and say “thank you”, and it meant a lot. thank you - two powerful words. theyre easy to say and mean so much.63. the writer planned to stop at oklahoma city_. a. to visit a friend b. to see his parents c. to say
