Looking back at photos, I appeared so thrilled that he had finally arrived. I held and bathed him, smiling from cheek to check. I do not remember that feeling now.Being the first child in the family, I was the one my parents tested their new parenting techniques on. I was their guinea pig. Mark was always the happy one, the joker, the one who won because of my battles with my parents. After too many fights, I declared war on Mark. We were now enemies. All l remember is being jealous of and angry with my innocent little brother.Thus,I made his life a misery. I teased, tricked, embarrassed, and fought with him. often leaving him in floods of tears.Our little sister was born when I was 11 and instantly she and Mark could not be separated. They pushed me aside. Was this because 1 was becoming a monster, or did 1 grow into an uglier green-eyed monster because they loved each other so much?Thankfully, Mark quickly grew tall and strong, and our conflict looked more like a cold war than bloodshed (流血）.It all ended suddenly when I went to study abroad. The hatred disappeared and love climbed in.Despite all the abuse Mark suffered he has implied that he has forgiven me, or even that there is nothing to forgive, although I have never brought up the subject in too much detail. I would like to; however, it would be a selfish move to look for more forgiveness. But I prefer to remember the hurt. During all those wasted years, I should have been the loving sister, defending instead of attacking.24. How did the writer feel at the birth of her brother?A. Worried. B. Excited. C.

Childrens relationships with peers strongly influence their success in school，and children with fewer friends are more at risk of dropping out of school，becoming depressed and other problems.Making and Keeping Friends Is More than Childs PlayWhen 6yearold Rachel returned to school on a recent Monday morning，her eyes immediately scanned the playground for her friend Abbie. “Though they were only separated by a weekend，the girls ran right into each others arms and hugged,” recalls Rachels mother Kathryn Willis of Gilbert. “It was like a scene from a movie.”Most parents instinctively (本能地) know that having friends is good for their child. Experts agree that friendship is not simply childs play，but a powerful predictor of social adjustment throughout life.A Skill for Life“Childhood friendships serve as a very important training ground for adulthood,” says Dr.Robbie AdlerTapia，psychologist with the Center for Childrens Health & Life Development at the East Valley Family Resource Center.Researcher William Hartup states，“Peer relations contribute significantly to both social and cognitive development.” Hartup concludes that the single best childhood predictor of adult social adaptation is not school grades or classroom behavior，but rather，how well a child gets along with other children.The work of Arizona State University professor of Developmental Psychology Gary Ladd proves that just as being able to make and keep friends is beneficial to kids while the lack of friends is detrimental.Good Friendships Dont Just HappenExperts agree that it is essential for children to establish highquality friendships. But，researchers warn，these friendships dont necessarily just happen. Often，a good friendship begins with involved parents.Psychologist Dr.Lynne Kenney Markan believes kids should be taught social skills in much the same way they are taught math and reading.Bad CompanyMany parents worry about the quality as well as the quantity of their childs friendships. “When she was in 1st grade，her supposed best friend began calling her names and threatening to hurt her,” says Mindy Miller. “My daughter wasnt allowed to talk to or even look at other girls in her class. It really crushed her spirit. I told my daughter she didnt need a friend like that.”“Ill bend over backwards(拼命) to help my son get together with a friend I think is good for him,” AdlerTapia says. “I dont look at it as manipulation (操纵)，just positive parental involvement.”28. The example of Rachel and Abbie is used to indicate that_.A. childhood friendship is of great significance to their growthB. a positive friendship helps children solve emotional and physical problemsC. it is a proven fact that peer friendship is the most rewarding experience throughout lifeD. Rachel missed her friend Abbie very much because of their separation of one weekend29. The underlined word “detrimental” could be replaced by_.A. aggressive B. disappointing C. ridiculousD. harmful30. We can learn from the passage that highquality friendship most probably results from_.A. social skills and good study habitsB. school grades and classroom behaviorsC. academic success and social adaptationD. positive parental involvement and social skills31. From the last paragraph we can conclude that Dr.Robbie AdlerTapia agrees that_.A. parents should regard making friends as something that just happensB. its wise for parents to support and encourage healthy peer relationshipsC. parents only need to help their children to cope with difficult social situationsD. parents are supposed to encourage their children to make as many friends as they canDAre you attracted to unknown places? Do you prefer to vacation away from other tourists？Are you careful to take only memories and to leave only footprints? If you answered yes to more than one of these questions，you just might be an ecotourist.Ecotourists are people who want to experience the unspoiled natural worldand leave it that way when they return home. This trend started in the 1990s，and ecotourism is now growing three times faster than the entire tourism industry . The Kapawi Ecolodge in Ecuadors remote Amazon Basin is contributing to that expansion，and it gives a snapshot of what ecotourism looks like.At the Ecolodge，a small group of cabins sits in the middle of the Achuar peoples reserve and is only accessible by air. From here，visitors can explore parts of the Amazon rainforest seen by few outsiders. As they do，local Achuar guides explain how the forest is like their supermarket，where they find food，clothing，medicine and tools. As a result，tourists learn to appreciate the local culture as well as the natural environment.The owners of Kapawi pay monthly rent to the Achuar people，but they also train the community to run and manage the lodge. They have agreed on a plan to turn the operation over to the Achuar completely by 2020.The owners are working to make ecotourism benefit and empower the local people.You probably wont start your own ecolodge，but you can be an ecotourist if you follow these guidelines：Protect the environment；Support local businesses；Respect the local customs and traditions.The world is full of fascinating places to visit. As an ecotourist，you can enjoy them yourself and make sure that they remain beautiful for future generations as well.32. According to the text，the ecotourists should be_.A. those who like to experience the easilyremembered natural environmentB. those who like to go to their travelling places by hikingC. those who prefer an undamaged natural world and remain what it used to beD. those who prefer unique natural environment of cultural relics33. At the Kapawi ecolodge，visitors cant_.A. explore the Amazon rainforest B. reach there by airC. live in the Achuar reserve D. see many travelers from outside34. Which of the words is closest in meaning to the word “snapshot” in the second paragraph?A. Idea. B. Aim. C. Adventure. D. Opportunity.35. We can learn from the passage that_.A. the Kapawi ecolodge will continue to run and manage the lodge after 2020B. the Kapawi ecolodge owners are the Achuar in favor of ecotourismC. the achuar people have benefited a lot by collecting money from ecotouristsD. the owners of Kapawi encourage tourists to appreciate the Achuar culture第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Fun doesnt have to be expensiveEveryone likes to have fun, but not everyone has much money to spend.
