teach and 36 children to set the behavior right 37 punish them. as for me, i may use single word reminders or questions or state facts, instead of 38 or demanding compliance (服从).i was 39 the first time i noticed how well this works. as usual, my daughter walked out of the bathroom with the lights still on. normally i would bark “switch off the light”. she would sometimes follow the 40 , and sometimes she would 41 with “you switch off the lights” or an aggressive “no!” or 42 , just plainly ignore me. anyway, that day i just said “lights” in a normal and 43 tone. surprisingly, she went back to the bathroom and 44 the lights. i have 45 this with all my heart now anytime i remember, i just use a single word said in the tone of a friendly 46 , and most of the times, it works. for example, “car” gets her to 47 hanging about and walk towards the car.i have also used the question technique, which has 48 pretty well so far. instead of shouting “go, put your shoes back on the shoe shelf”, a simple question like “hey, where do we put our shoes?” gets the job done with less 49 . 50 , stating facts helps too. when washing hands, if she is fooling around, i just 51 “water is wasting” and she is likely to wash her hands faster than 52 like “you are wasting water”.i advise parents to pick up one new 53 discipline technique to 54 or one old habit to let go of, and 55 that for the rest of the week. it may work for you, it may not. but unless you try, you will never know! so, take action to find a way to get back on the positive path!36. a. permit b. forbid c. advise d.

states bought more than $75 million worth of tickets. the box office totals pushed the popular movie, “frozen”, to second place in opening weekend success. experts say “zootopia” is expected to stay strong this weekend. they predict it will make as much as $50 million more. already, the movies worldwide box office total is more than $230 million. “zootopia” is a city of animals. the movie stars a bunny rabbit police officer and a fox criminal who team up to find a missing otter. he is among several animals that have suddenly disappeared from the city. critics have strongly praised “zootopia” for its sharp humor and strong message. the film explores racism and other intolerance in its portrayal(描绘) of relations between two kinds of animals in the city. jared bush and phil johnston wrote “zootopia”. they told reporters that it started out as a spy movie set in several different animal worlds. but they found the mammal world especially interesting. so they changed the story. bush and johnston said building the imaginary world took a lot of research. they both spoke about it to the website inside the magic. bush said they asked themselves, “whats this world like? whats the history of this world?” and then, he said, they went to the experts. the writers spoke with people who study culture and group behavior, as well as those who study the psychology of individuals. and they talked with animal experts like zookeepers. they learned that the natural world is made up of 90 percent prey animals and 10 percent predator animals. “zootopia” director byron howard says that discovery helped build the films themes prejudice and inclusion in a diverse world. the creators have noted that diversity was not easy to produce in drawings. there are 64 species represented in the

disappearing from the city. c. the creators asked experts for help to build the imaginary world. d. “zootopia” is a spy movie set in different animal worlds.60. where can you probably find the passage? a. in a film textbook. b. in a tourist brochure. c. in a research paper. d. in a news report.c working through a self-help program online can prevent or delay major depression disorder in people who are vulnerable, a study finds. similar programs have been used to treat depression, but this may be the first one tested to prevent it, the researchers say. online programs for mental health problems can be as effective as face-to-face treatment and offer some advantages: low cost and available at any time. but theyre not panaceas. the study, which was conducted by researchers from germany, involved 406 people with subthreshold depression, which is defined as having some symptoms of depression but not enough to be diagnosed with major depressive disorder.in this experiment, half of the participants were asked to do six half-hour-long exercises that were based on cognitive behavioral therapy (认知行为疗法) and problem-solving therapy, which are techniques commonly used for in-person therapy. in the cognitive behavioral therapy, participants were asked to identify positive activities they used to engage in and then were asked to actively plan those activities again. at the next session, participants reflected on their experiences. for the problem-solving therapy, people were asked to create a list of the things that matter most to them in their lives and brainstorm on how to incorporate those things into daily life. they next were asked to categorize problems and worries into “manageable” and “unmanageable”; the main focus in problem-solving therapy is to tackle those problems that are considered manageable.both therapies are intended to change negative thinking in order to change mood and behavior. after completing each exercise, participants in the intervention (干预) group received written individualized feedback from an online trainer. the trainers did not offer any therapeutic advice, only motivation and encouragement to continue the exercises. participants also could repeat the online sessions as often as they liked. the control group received information about depression but didnt have to read it.of the 406 participants that began the study, 335 completed the telephone follow-up at the end of 12 months. twenty-seven percent in the intervention group experienced depression compared with 41 percent in the control group.it is unclear if the people who went on to develop major depressive disorder had experienced it before. lead author claudia buntrock says that because the study only tracked participants mental health over the course of 12 months, the long-term effectiveness of the intervention is unknown. “its also not clear if this kind of program could be used widely. it took the trainers about 30 minutes to provide feedback for each session, and they also stayed in touch with participants via instant messaging.” he adds. 61. according to the experiment, the participants _. a. are treated in the same way by the trainers b. access the online programme just for once c. show severe symptoms of depression d. are divided into two different groups 62. the underlined word “panaceas” in paragraph 2 probably refers to something that can _. a. solve all the problems b. produce harmful effects c. appeal to every patient d. distribute powerful results63. the author develops paragraph 4 mainly by _. a. making comparisons b. describing a process c. providing examples d. offering an explanation64. from what claudia buntrock said, we can infer_. a. people suffering from depression have experienced it befor
