On the other hand, Italians, for example, exercise more control. We found Canadians seem to focus on negotiation in case of a conflict.”Claes said Canada, France and Italy were selected for the study because they share important cultural and social factors. “We chose FrenchCanadians because they share the same language as France, and originally came from France and share certain values. Italy was included because it was considered to have similar, strong and important family values,” he explained.The researchers examined the emotional ties between parents and their children by questioning 1,256 students aged 11 to 19 years old.Canadian students reported less control and more free actions, according to the study. Italian parents were stricter and French parents were somewhere in the middle.Claes explains that the differences lie in education in Canada, France and Italy.“North America has its own educational values, which promote individualization. Tolerance and comprehension are encouraged. Italy, on the other hand, promotes respect of authority, control, and the need for permission.” he said.Children from all three countries described their mothers as warm and communicative. Italian and Canadian children had similar feelings about their fathers, and reported high levels of emotional ties. But French fathers were generally thought by their children to be more distant and cold.“We were surprised by this,” Claes admitted.“It seems as though the relationships between French mothers and their children were becoming closer over time, while fathers maintain a form of distance and coldness, which is more of a source of conflict in France than in the other countries.”21Professor Michel Claes believes that Canada, France and Italy _.Ahave the same family spiritBhave some similar cultural traditionsChave experienced some similar social changesDhave experienced similar cultural developments22How did the researchers carry out the study?ABy collecting answers of parents from Canada, France and Italy.BBy collecting answers of children from Canada, France and Italy.CBy questioning parents and their children from Italian Canadian families.DBy questioning children from FrenchCanadian families.23According to Michel Claes, what mainly leads to the differences in parentchildren relationships among Canada, France and Italy?AEducational opportunities.BTraditional ideas.CEducational values.DHistorical events.24Which of the following is NOT a finding of the study?AFrench children have troubled relationships with their parents.BCanadian children have close relationships with their parents.CItalian children have good relationships with their parents.DKids from Canada, France and Italy have closer ties with their moms.I look in the mirror, and Im not happy with what I see. I dont have a perfect face. I look in the magazines and all I see are girls with fair hair, blue eyes, and, of course, a pretty little nose. Theyre on the outside of the buses that I take home, the television programs I watch, and the billboards（广告牌）I walk under. Almost every advertisement I see shows this human physical perfection. These billboards not only tell me what to drink, but also how to look.Our society places more importance on a persons physical beauty, rather than their ability, honesty and character. We have influenced women to go through painful surgeries（手术）and starve themselves to become this society-built physical model. To be a beautiful woman in the 21st century doesnt mean that you are a brilliant doctor or caring mother. It means you have the perfect jaw, eyes and lips. It means that you can be six feet tall and weigh one hundred and ten pounds.But what about the women who are starting to leave their youth? Instead of looking at aging as a sign of wisdom, we try to prevent the aging process (过程）. Its a kind of funny thing to want to look eighteen when fifty. Fifty is a relaxed age, when you can step back and look at all youve achieved(successfully complete something). It is when your hard work pays off. Unfortunately, our society just sees you as “old”. To stop the aging process, women buy wrinkle（皱纹）creams, do eye lifts and face lifts. They spend thousands of dollars to win the hopeless battle against age.I remember when I was about thirteen years old and going through teens, I had oily hair, and a half developed body. I hated the way I looked. I used to cry to my mother all the time, but she would just laugh and tell me that you dont want anyone to like your appearance. Its your heart that is important, because beauty fades（消逝）. I knew that she was right. If you work on your heart enough, people will start to see the beauty in you, which lasts and remains on even after you die.25The main idea of the first paragraph is that .A. the author doesnt have a perfect faceB. women have to look beautifulC. photos of beautiful girls can be seen everywhereD. there are too many beauties in daily life26Whats the authors attitude towards being old?A. Its a pity that people have to get old.B. Its a fruitful and wise time.C. Its stupid to try to stay young.D. Its a pity that society looks down upon the old.27It is that regard(s) the physical beauty as more important.A. women themselvesB. the authors parentsC. newspapers and magazinesD. society28Whats the authors opinion about beauty?A. The author doesnt like the beauties our society values.B. It is not important whether a person looks beautiful or not.C. It is a persons heart and inner qualities that are important rather than the physical beauty.D. The author feels appearance is important to a person.
