Sometimes teens need to have some time away from their families They may want to move out of the family for a while Many parents will say no to this demand But experts say it might be a good idea to let your teens live with a friend or relative It was the break I needed at the time said Richard Lerner He is talking about the time he spent living with his grandmother when he was 15 It allowed me to be a different person than I was with my parents Lerner said He now heads the Institute for Children Youth and Families at Michigan State University Experts say teens living away from their families can test new ways of thinking and getting along with people They may see new solutions to problems This is different from running away the experts stress Runaways are often fleeing serious problems Some teens who want some time away from family attend a structured summer program Others live for a while with a relative or with the family of a friend If there is conflict at home having a teen live elsewhere can benefit other family members It gives everyone space to develop better relationships Joseph Kett teaches history at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville He says living at home until the late teen years has become the norm only in recent times In the 17th century children were often sent to live in other people s homes when they were about 10 or 11 he said Peter Sheras teaches education at the University of Virginia He said parents should listen when a child wants to move out They should try to find out why the child wants some time away Often parents can

after several sleepless nights he decided to consult his doctor The doctor advised a change of surroundings Go abroad he said But I m not good at foreign language said Mr Smith It doesn t matter said the doctor It won t hurt you to talk a little less Go on a voyage Take plenty of exercise Try to reduce your weight Avoid rich food Mr Smith went to Switzerland He did not know French or German and had to communicate through gestures He attended a physical training course The instructor made him bend his knees swing his arms stretch his neck and shake his head rapidly He had to lie on the ground and raise his right and left legs alternately After a time his muscles grew hard and firm He forgot the financial crisis and the importance of raising the level of production He even began to notice

hurt brain Without enough blood the brain lives only three to five minutes Sometimes the hurt brain gets better by itself More often the doctors can t fix the hurt brain Sometimes they are afraid to try something to help It is dangerous to work on the brain The doctor might make the person worse if he works on the brain Dr Robert White a famous professor and doctor thinks he knows a way to help He thinks doctors should try to make the brain become very cold If it is very cold the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes This gives the doctors a longer time to do something for the brain Dr White tried his idea on 13 monkeys First he taught them to do different jobs Then he operated on them He made the monkeys blood go through a machine The machine cooled the blood Then the machine sent the blood back to the monkeys brain When the brain temperature was 10 Dr White stopped the blood to the brain After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on He warmed the blood again After their operations the monkeys were as they were before They were healthy and busy Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them Dr White s idea works well on monkeys Are there other problems with human beings Dr White thinks doctors will use his idea on human beings He thinks it will help people who have to die when their heart stops doctors can start it again The problem comes when the brain is without blood for three to five minutes the person has a living body but a dead brain Maybe in the future doctors will try Dr White s idea When the person s heart stops the doctors will quickly try to cool the brain They will have 30 minutes to start the heart again Maybe there will be no problem with the brain 51 Which of the following expresses the main idea of the first paragraph

Brain D A New Machine to Help the Brain Passage Four I hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling I wish it were so At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents You should be learning to stand on your own two feet But take a good look at the present rebellion It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents Instead of striking out boldly on their own most of them are clutching at one another s hands for courage They claim they want to dress as they please But they all wear the same clothes They set off in new directions in music But somehow they all end up just by listening to the same record Their reason for thinking or acting in this way is that the crowd is doing it It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be And many of today s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children All this adds up to a greater barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path But the barrier is worth climbing over The path is worth following You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party You may want to collect rocks when every one else is collecting records You may have some thoughts that you don t care to share at once with your classmates Well go to it Find yourself Be yourself Popularity will come with the people who respect you for whom you are That s the only kind of popularity that really counts 56 The main purpose of this passage is to tell A readers how to be popular with people around B teenagers how to learn to decide things for themselves C parents how to control and guide their children D people how to understand and respect each other 57 According to the author many teenagers think they are brave enough to be themselves but in fact most of them A have much difficulty understanding each other B lack confidence C dare not cope with problems single handed D are very much afraid of getting lost 58 According to the passage which of the following is not true A There is no popularity that really counts B What many parents are doing is in fact hindering their children from finding their own paths C It is not necessarily bad for a teenager to disagree with his or her classmates D Most teenagers ate not actually rebelling 59 The author thinks of advertisements as A original B influential C detrimental D authoritative 60 During the teenager years one should learn to A differ from others in as many ways as possible B get into the right season and become popular C find one s real self D rebel against parents and the popularity wave Part Cloze 20 points Directions There are 20 blanks in the following passage For each blank there are four choices marked A B C and
