does take a different approach than parenting younger kids Looking back it seemed relatively easy They were born itty bitty so you could take control usually to keep them safe from harm to teach right from wrong and begin to equip them with problem solving and relationship skills But hey remember when they were about two or three years old and they began to toddle 蹒跚学步 off and test your limits This was normal child development and you soon trusted that your child wouldn t touch the stove muck about in the flowerpots or bite the cat Adolescence is kind of similar in process to the two or three year old testing their limits In adolescence though the test is more towards social limits who they can go out with when where and for how long Unlike the young child though adolescence is nerve wracking 伤脑筋 because now they are truly out of sight the stakes are higher and your didn t raise your kid for 13 years plus to see them get into trouble now Also unlike the young child your teen is no longer itty bitty and you can t simply tell them what to do Parenting the adolescent requires extreme trust patience and letting them take responsibility for decisions even when the consequences are not favorable They do need to learn what the mantle of responsibility means during adolescence so that as adults they are suitably equipped to then carry on responsibly No practice no mastery Taking responsibility takes practice and opportunity Difficult as it may seem the parenting style has to shift from being the boss to being a consultant Now no one is saying here that there aren t any rules but they are more flexible and more subject to negotiation When you were the boss you simply told your young child what to do and you expected them to follow your wishes Now as a consultant you are more in an advisory position and must rely on the judgment of your teen to choose correctly 41 Who are the intended readers of the passage A Adolescents B Parents C Educators D Bosses 42 In the first paragraph the author gives the example of two or three years old to show that A parenting adolescents is quite different from parenting younger kids B parenting younger kids seems relatively easy C there are still similarities between parenting adolescents and younger kids D it is difficult to take control of kids about two or three yours old 43 In the second paragraph the author mentions differences between parenting 4 adolescents and younger kids A 2 B 3 C 5 D 6 44 It can be inferred from the text that A parents should let adolescents take responsibility for decision if the result is not harmful B adults are more suitably equipped to carry on responsibly C parents should provide opportunity for teens to practice taking responsibility D the adolescent whose parents are bosses tends to follow their parents wishes 45 The underlined word it in the last paragraph refers to A the change of parenting style B the change of the boss s way to treat his child C the change from being the boss to being a consultant D the change of adolescents attitude toward their parents B B By Zhan Lisheng Updated 2008 09 27 07 50 GUANGZHOU At least 13 people were killed and nine left missing after Typhoon Hagupit swept through the country s southern region on Wednesday authorities said More than 11 5 million people in Guangdong Hainan and Guangxi provinces were affected by the disaster with direct economic losses reaching 13 46 billion yuan 1 97 billion Ministry of Civil Affairs figures showed Hagupit the strongest typhoon to hit Guangdong and its Pearl River Delta region in 12 years reportedly headed south toward Vietnam on Thursday The typhoon killed nine people and left nine missing in Guangdong alone causing direct economic losses of more than 7 7 billion yuan Yang Minyi a press official with the provincial flood drought and wind prevention office said yesterday Direct losses to agriculture forestry animal husbandry and fishery in the region were estimated at 4 2 billion yuan industrial and transport sector 1 5 billion yuan and water conservancy infrastructure 1 billion A total of 6 52 million people in 344 towns in the cities of Maoming Yangjiang Zhanjiang Zhuhai Zhongshan and Jiangmen in the Pearl River Delta region and in the west of Guangdong bore the brunt of the typhoon in the province More than 15 300 houses fell down and 365 800 hectares 公顷 of farmland were affected authorities said Wang Yugui a pig farmer in Maoming city said Hagupit proved fatal to his 5 business About two thirds of his 4 000 odd pigs had drowned or were left missing in the typhoon The typhoon has landed me in huge debt and I really don t know how to weather the losses Wang told China Daily yesterday Wang said many others in the city suffered similar losses when Hagupit hit the city on Wednesday morning Hagupit also hit a South Korean freight ship named Zeus in the waters off Jiangmen All 17 sailors onboard were still missing the Yangcheng Evening News reported on Friday 46 This passage most probably appears A in a newspaper B on the Internet C in a magazine D a travel guide 47 We can know from the report that A at least 13 people were killed in Guangdong B Guangxi and Hainan suffered more economic losses than Guangdong C so far Hagupit has been the strongest typhoon to hit Guangdong in this century D Hagupit hit South Korea before it landed in Guangdong 48 The underlined word bore the brunt of can be best replaced by A received the main force of B suffered similar economic losses from C shared the losses caused by D stood the test of 49 The example of the pig farmer Wang Yugui is used to show A that pig farmers suffered the most losses in the disaster B That many others in Maoming suffered similar losses C How difficult it will be for people to go through the disaster D How seriously the disaster affected people 50 Altogether people are reported missing in the passage A 9 B 18 C 35 D 26 C C Until March 28 the fate of the gray wolf in the Rocky Mountains was in the hands of the federal government because the wolf was listed as an endangered species But once it was removed from the list a decision that is being challenged in court by a 6 dozen conservation groups the gray wolf fell under the protection of individual states That is turning out to mean almost no protection at all Idaho s Fish and Game department announced last week that it would allow 428 of the state s estimated 1 000 wolves to die this year Some will die of natural causes Most will be killed by hunters Idaho officials argue that the remaining population will still be larger than the very small number to be protected in the original federal wolf recovery plans But Idaho s Fish and Game department has overruled its own staff biologists who for the good of the wolf population and the ecosystem 生态系统 as a whole argued that more animals should be allowed to survive Sadly in Idaho wolves are nothing more than another game animal to be managed for the benefit of human hunters Beginning on Sept 15 any Idaho hunter with a hunting license and 10 50 for a wolf tag will be entitled to shoot one wolf at least until the quota 限额 of dead wolves in his region has been reached And how will a hunter know if the local quota has been reached There will be a hot line of course Hunters will be encouraged not to shoot wolves wearing radio collars because those wolves are still being studied Perhaps the solution is to fit all wolves with radio collars It is still possible that Idaho s wolves and the wolves in other states will get a reprieve A federal judge will soon decide whether to support or object to the government s decision to delist the gray wolf We hope he will restore the wolf to the endangered species list There is no better proof of how dangerous life is for wolves than Idaho s plan to protect them 51 From the first paragraph we can know that A The gray wolf was not listed as an endangered species until March 28 B In the author s opinion individual states will not protect the gray wolf well C The gray wolf fell under the protection of individual states when it was listed as an endangered species D It s up to the federal government to protect the gray wolf after it was removed from the list 52 Why do Idaho officials permit a certain number of gray wolves to be hunted A Some will die of natural causes if they are not killed by hunters B Hunters kill gray wolves for the good of the wolf popu
