do we want to43ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? for some people, many friendships on the surface are44enough. and thats all right. but at some45we need to make sure that our expectations are the same as our friends expectations. the sharing of personal experiences including our tears as well as our dark46is the surest way to deepen friendships. but it must be47slowly and carried on only if there are48of interest and action in return. what are some of the49of our friendship?

as a society, we dont seem to know. its not like the hours from 8 am to 3 pm, when the drill is known to all. parents go to work; kids go to school. its not like the hours after 6 pm when a sort of consensus(一致的意见, 共识)reigns again. parents stay at home and the kids do whatever the parents want them to do. school ends at around 3 pm. work finishes at around 5 pm, and it can take parents up to an hour or more to get home. love it or hate it, thats the way it is. we have a gap between the lives of kids and parents, and there is no good way to connect them. it is as if the gap were some unexpected problems, and each family is responsible for finding its own solution, much the same as when someone gets sick. the term “key kids” comes from the image of young children carrying house keys around their necks or in their pockets. when school ends, they make their way home alone and walk into an empty house. what they do after that is between them and the cat. the christian science monitor says that crime peaks during the after-school hours. also, according to a report from the national safe kids campaign, 4. 5 million children are injured in their homes every year. most of them are kids who are unsupervised after school. personally, i dont need numbers. when i picture a child between the ages of 6 and 12 coming home alone, my mind instantly fills with terrible thoughts. this cant be any parents preferred choice. there must be a better solution. 60. what is the writers main purpose of writing this article?

a. hurrying home. b. being busy with their work. c. staying with their children. d. preparing supper. (c) he may not have learned to read and write until he was 91, but jim henry is becoming a literary star. since the 98-year-old academy point resident published his first book, in a fishermans language, in nov. , 2011, he and his family have been in a world of book printings, agents, publicity, and film rights. the books first printing of 780 copies were sold out in just two weeks and 1, 000 more arrived last week. a new york city film producer has contacted henry and his family. a german television station and a greek newspaper are doing stories about him. theres an offer for an audio book. and people from not just around the country but the world have called and emailed wanting a book. when he was a third-grade student, his father made him and his brother quit school so they could work odd jobs. over the years, he hid his illiteracy(无学识)from friends and relatives by employing a variety of tricks, such as ordering what he heard someone else asked for when he went to a restaurant. then, seven years ago, at 91, henry was inspired after learning about the story of george dawson, the grandson of a slave who wanted to earn his high school diploma by learning how to read and write at 98. dawson went on to write the book life is so good. henry began by reading books designed for first-graders and spent countless hours practicing how to write, first the alphabet and his name, then small words. mark hogan, a retired east lyme english teacher who is a volunteer, spent many hours with henry helping him read and write and editing the book. 64. why did jim henry become famous? a. because his story was written in a textbook. b. because his book was translated into foreign languages. c. because he published his first book at the age of 98. d. because his story was spread widely online. 65. what made henry learn how to read and write again? a. the story of george dawson. b. the book life is so good. c. the requests of his family. d. the encouragement from mark hogan. 66. what can we learn from henrys story? a. knowledge is power. b. its never too old to learn. c. you cant teach an old dog new tricks. d. a little learning is a dangerous thing. (d) most kids dont regularly use sunscreen, although many of them suffer from sunburns, which increases the risk of developing skin cancer later in life, according to a recent study. most of the study participants said they liked the appearance of a tan(晒黑), and the number of children who said they spent time in the sun to get a tan increased over the three-year period. lead author stephen dusza said the findings showed the importance of finding effective ways to educate children of this age group about sun safety and the potential dangers of more exposure to ultraviolet(紫外的)light. “when you ask kids or teens about tanning, they say people look better with a tan, so trying to get them to limit this behavior is a difficult message to get across, ”dusza said. “this is the age group we need to make an impact on, because it gets harder to make an impact as they get into their later teen and early adult years, ”said dr. jonette keri from the university of miamis miller school of medicine. “its a time when parents dont have much control and kids do what they want. ” skin cancer is on the rise among young adults. “we need to identify what these kids think so that we can target their thinking and try to change their habits, ”said keri, “the problem is the idea of a tan being beautiful is perpetuated on television and in the media, and its very hard to break that. ” “maybe we can get them thinking about their skin, and get them to examine it carefully and know what changes to look for, so if they do go tanning or are out in the sun, they can at least be aware of the signs of skin cancer so they can get treated early, ”she added. 67. what can we learn from duszas words? a. kids consider tanning a kind of beauty. b. kids know a lot about sun safety in fact. c. adults dont know what the kids think. d. its difficult for kids to learn about skin cancer. 68. what makes it difficult to break the childrens idea of a tan being beautiful? a. parents control on children. b. lacking in education. c. showing of tan on tv and other media. d. children having too much freedom. 69. the underlined word “perpetuated” in paragraph 6 may mean“”. a. analyzedb. ignored c. replaced d. fixed70. what does the study in the text show? a. most young children dont know about sunscreen. b. parents care little about their childrens tanning. c. kids try to get a tan not for health but for beauty. d. kids must be stopped from spending time in the sun. 第四部分任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分, 满分10分)请认真阅读下列短文, 并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意: 每个空格只填一个单词。how to take a nap whether you think you need daytime rest or not, picking up a nap habitor continuing to make time for oneis a smart, healthy move. consider the evidence: the mayo clinic says naps promote relaxation, reduce tiredness, better mood and recover alertness(机敏). a 2010 british study found that compared to getting more nighttime sleep or drinking more coffee, a mid-day nap was the best way to cope with the mid-afternoon slump(萎靡). the harvard health letter says that several studies have shown that people remember new information better when they take a nap shortly after learning it. and, unbelievably, a 2007 study of nearly 24, 000 greek adults in the archives of internal medicine found that people who napped regularly had a 37 percent reduced risk of dying from heart disease compared to people who didnt nap. to get the most out of your rest, follow these tips. how long to sleep: naps provide different benefits depending on how long they are, says mentalf. a 20-minute nap will promote alertness and concentration; a 90-minute nap which includes deeper stages of sleep, can strengthen creativity. the danger zone is when youre somewhere in between, because waking up in the middle of a sleep cycle can lead to sleep inertia(惯性). so stick to 20 or 90 minutes for maximum benefits. if you wake up from a nap feeling confused or more tired, its likely that your timing was just off. what time to sleep: prevention. com says that you experience a natural dip in body temperature(the same kind that makes you feel sleepy at night)between 1 pm and 3 pm. a power nap at this time can promote alertness for several hours and, for most people, wont affect being able to fall asleep at night. how to get comfortable: mentalfloss. com says it takes about 50 percent longer to fall asleep sitting up than lying down. (thats why we sleep so poorly on planes and trains!) pick a dark, cozy place thats not too warm or too chilly. prevention. com recommends napping on the couch instead of in bed, so you wont snooze for too long. s
