that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. but last summer, joanna and henry noticed a change in their older son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “the door to his room is always shut,” joanna noted.tina and mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “she used to sit in my arms on the sofa and talk with me,” said mark. “now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. the problem is figuring out which time is which.”before age 11, children like to tell their parents whats on their minds. “in fact, parents are first on the list,” said michael riera, author of uncommon sense for parents with teenagers. “this completely changes during the teen years,” said riera explained. “they talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”parents who know whats going on in their teenagers lives are in the best position to help them. to break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. and they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.56. the underlined part in the 1st paragraph “the door to his room is always shut” suggests that the son _.a. is always busy with his studiesb. doesnt want to be disturbedc. keeps himself away from his parentsd. begins to dislike his parents57. what troubles tina and mark most is that _.a. their daughter isnt as lovely as beforeb. they cant read their daughters mind exactlyc. they dont know what to say to their daughterd. their daughter talks with them only when needing help58. which of the following best explains “the wall of silence” in the last paragraph?a. teenagers talk a lot with their friends.b. teenagers dont want to understand their parents.c. teenagers dont talk much with their parents.d. teenagers talk little about their own lives.59. what can be learned from the passage?a. parents are unhappy with their growing children.b. parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers.c. parents should be patient with their silent teenagers.d. parents should try to understand their teenagers.bgoals can help you do，be and experience everything you want in lifeinstead of just letting life happen to you，goals allow you to make your life happensuccessful and happy people have an idea of how their life should be and they set lots of goals to help them succeedby setting goals you are taking control of your lifeit s like

problems. in conversation he expressed little joy and it seemed that his life was drawing to a close.when his heart problems led to operation, jim went through it successfully, and a full recovery was expected. within days, however, his heart was not beating properly. jim was rushed back to operation, but nothing was found to explain the cause of his illness. he died on the operating table on the day before his 48th birthday.dr. bruce smoller, a psychologist, had had many conversations with him, and the more he learned, the stranger he realized jims case was. when jim was a child, his father, a teacher, suffered a heart attack and stayed home to recover. one morning jim asked his father to look over his homework, promising to come home from school at noon to pick it up. his father agreed, but when jim returned his father had died. jims father was 48.i think all his life jim believed he killed his father, dr. smoller says. he felt that if he had not asked him to look at his homework, his father would have lived. jim had been troubled by the idea. the operation was the trial （判决）he had expected for forty years. “smoller believes that jim willed himself not to live to the age of 48.jims case shows the powerful role that attitude plays in physical health, and that childhood experiences produce far-reaching effect on the health of grown-ups. although most cases are less direct than jims, studies show that childhood events, besides genes, may well cause such midlife diseases as cancer, heart disease and mental illness.64jim was sent back to operation because _.ahis heart didnt work well bhe expected a full recoverychis life was drawing to a close dthe first one wasnt well performed65what made dr. smoller feel strange about jims case?ajim died at a young age.bjim died on the operating table.cboth jim and his father died of the same disease.djims death is closely connected with his fathers.66from smollers words, we can infer that _.ajims father cared little about his studybsmoller agreed that jim did kill his fathercjim thought he would be punished some daydsmoller believed jim wouldnt live to the age of 4867which of the following could have strong effect on ones physical health according to the text?a. ones genes. b. ones life in childhood. c. ones physical education.d. the date of ones birthday. e. the opinions one has about something.aa, b, d ba, b, e ca, c, e db, c, ddif you make a mistake, dont worry! yeah, you may want to forget about them, but mistakes can be useful. making a mistake doesnt mean its the end of the world. in your real life you have to grow and mature, and you will experience some growing pains. you know you should have studied hard but you went out with some friends instead. you know you should have put the money into the bank for a rainy day instead of spending it on all kinds of things you didnt need.most people experience growing pains and make mistakes when they are growing up. if you make mistakes, face them and learn from them. all of the famous people you wish to copy have made mistakes. theyll continue to make mistakes for all their successes.one of the major differences between people like them and the majority of others is that they dont let their mistakes stop them. instead, they use their mistakes as learning tools. at the very least, when you make a mistake, youll know what not to do. and you can help others by warning them of the mistakes youve made. dont let mistakes stop you from doing anything. learn from them, and dont hide. face up to your mistakes now and later you will mature. what mistakes are you making now? take a look at anything you might be doing wrong. take a step back and evaluate（评估）your situation, and then correct your mistakes. then move forward. always remember your mistakes to remind yourself of what not to do for the future. 68. why does the writer say mistakes can be useful?a. because you can get to the end of the world. b. because famous people also make mistakes. c. because you can mature by facing and learning from mistakes. d. because you spend money on something you dont need. 69. when you make mistakes next time, what should you do?a. try to face the mistakes. b. let mistakes stop you from doing anything.c. forget the mistakes you make. d. expect others to make the same mistakes.70. what can you learn from the passage?a. before you make any mistake, you had better hide in your room. b. remember your mistake and dont make the same mistake again. c. dont go out with some of your friends any more. d. forget your mistakes. 第四部分

is that secret success formula(公式), and can anyone develop it? at the gallop organization we recently focused in depth on success, inquiring into the attitudes of 1500 distinguished people selected at random（任意地）from whos who in america. our research finds out a number of qualities that occur regularly among top achievers. here is one of the most important, that is common sense. common sense is the most widely possessed quality of the people surveyed. 79 percent award themselves a top score in this quality. and 61 percent say that common sense is very important in contributing to their success.to most, common sense means the ability to present sound, practical judgments on everyday affairs. to do this, one has to remove extra ideas and get right to the key points of what matters. a texas oil and gas businessman puts it this way: the key ability for success is simplifying. in conduction of meeting and dealing with industry reducing a complex problem to the simplest term is highly important.is common sense a quality a person is born with, or can you do something to increase it? the oil mans answer is that common sense can definitely be developed. he owes his to learning how to debate in school. another way to increase your store of common sense is to observe it in others, learning from theirand your ownmistakes.besides common sense, there are many other factors that influence success: knowing your field, self-reliance, intelligence, the ability to get things done, leadership, creativity, relationships with others, and of course, luck. but common sense stands out. if you develop these qualities, youll succeed. and you might even find yourself listed in whos who someday.topic: secrets to successfinding of the (1)_top achievers have s
