They have a strong need to make decisions, manage thei

26、r environment, and lead rather than follow. Stephen Jackson, a Year One student, “operates under the theory of whats mine and whats yours is mine,” says his mother. “The other day I bought two new Star Wars light sabers(剑). Later, I saw Stephen with the two new ones while his brother was using the b

27、eat-up ones.”“Examine the extended family, and youll probably find a bossy grandparent, aunt, uncle or cousin in every generation. Its an inheritable trait,” says Russell Barkley, a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina. Other children who may not be particularly bossy can gradually

28、gain dominance(支配地位) when they sense their parents are weak, hesitant, or in disagreement with each other.Whether its inborn nature or developed character at work, too much control in the hands of the young isnt healthy for children or the family. Fear is at the root of a lot bossy behavior, says fa

29、mily psychologist John Taylor. Children, he says in his book From Defiance to Cooperation, “have secret feelings of weakness” and “a desire to feel safe.” Its the parents role to provide that protection.When a “boss child” doesnt learn limits at home, the stage is set for a host of troubles outside

30、the family. The overly willful and unbending child may have trouble obeying teachers or coachers, for example, or trouble keeping friends. It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways.“I see more and more parents giving up their power,” says Barkley, who has studied bossy b

31、ehavior for more than 30 years. They bend too far because they dont want to be as strict as their own parents were. But they also feel less confident about their parenting skills. Their kids, in turn, feel more anxious.51. Bossy children like Stephen Jackson _.A. make good decisionsB. show self-cent

32、erednessC. lack care from othersD. have little sense of fear52. The underlined phrase “inheritable trait” in paragraph 2 means _.A. inborn natureB. developed characterC. accepted theoryD. particular environment53.

33、children B. should be strict with their childrenC. should not be so anxious about their childrenD. should not set limits for their children54. What is the passage mainly about?A. How bossy behavior can be controlled.B. How we can get along with bossy children.C. What leads to childrens bossy behavio

34、r.D. What effect bossy behavior brings about.BHealthy knees arent the main consideration in choosing high heels, but new research says chunky heels are just as bad for the knees as spindly stilettos (细高跟鞋). “It takes a long time to feel the effects of knee osteoarthritis (骨关节炎) - and once you do, it

35、 is too late,” said Dr. Casey Kerrigan, leading researcher of the study and associate professor at Harvard Medical Schools department of physical medicine. “I compare it to smoking - one cigarette is not painful, but over a lifetime it is. Wide-heeled shoes feel comfortable, so women wear them all d

36、ay long, “Kerrigan said. “They are better for your feet than stiletto heels, but just as bad for your knees.”In the study, researchers had twenty women wear two pairs of shoes with three-inch heels, one with a narrow heel and the other with a thick one. The scientists compared how much pressure was

37、put on the womens knees by both types of shoes. The women also walked barefoot to test normal pressure. The scientists found that both types of shoes applied equal amounts of pressure to the knees. Compared with walking barefoot, the heels increased pressure on the inside of the knee by 26 percent.

38、Increased pressure on the knee eventually leads to arthritis(关节炎), experts say.The idea that high heels are bad for your health isnt new - scientists have warned women for years that they contribute to problems ranging from corns to hammer toes, tendonitis, knee pain, sprained (扭伤) ankles and back p

39、roblems. But in 1998, Kerdgan and a team of Harvard researchers were the first to link high heels and knee osteoarthritis, a painful joint disease that destroys cartilage (软骨) surrounding the knee. The first study looked only at stiletto heels, and Kerrigan said she wanted to study the chunky high-h

40、eeled shoes she noticed many women wearing. “This study confirms what we all intuitively (直觉地) know that high-heeled shoes of any kind are not good for our health,” said Dr. Glenn Pfeifer, a San Francisco doctor and member of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons who was not connected to the s

41、tudy.55. We learn from the passage that women choose chunky heels because _.A. they want to walk comfortablyB. chunky heeled shoes are cheaper than stiletto heeled pairsC. chunky heels do less harm to kneesD. chunky heels are not painful at all56.

42、 got to know the high heels are bad for health recentlyB. people have known the high heels are bad for health for yearsC. people havent known the high heels are bad for health yetD. people will be warned that the high heels are bad for health soon57. The best title for the passage may be _.A. Taking

43、 Healthy Knees into Consideration B. High-heels Do Harm to KneesC. Chunky Heels and Stiletto Heels D. When Wearing High-heelsC“Opinion” is a word that is used carelessly today. It is used to refer to matters of taste, belief, and judgment. This inaccurate use would probably cause little confusion if

44、 people didnt attach too much importance to opinion. Unfortunately, most attach great importance to it. “I have as much right to my opinion as you to yours, and Everyones entitled to his opinion, are common expressions. In fact, anyone who would challenge anothers opinion is likely to be branded int

45、olerant.Is that label accurate? Is it intolerant to challenge anothers opinion? It depends on what definition of opinion you have in mind. For example, you may ask a friend What do you think of the new Ford cars?” And he may reply, “In my opinion, theyre ugly.” In this case, it would not only be int

46、olerant to challenge his statement, but foolish. For its obvious that by opinion he means his personal preference, a matter of taste. And as the old saying goes, Its pointless to argue about matters of taste.But consider this very different use of the term. A newspaper reports that the Supreme Court

47、 has delivered its opinion in a controversial(有争议的) case. Obviously the justices did not share their personal preferences, their mere likes and dislikes. They stated their considered judgment, painstakingly arrived at after thorough inquiry and deliberation(审议).Most of what is referred to as opinion

48、 falls somewhere between these two extremes. It is not an expression of taste. Nor is it careful judgment. Yet it may contain elements of both. It is a view or belief more or less inaccurately arrived at, with or without examining the evidence.Is everyone entitled to his opinion? Of course, this is

49、not only permitted, but guaranteed. We are free to act on our opinions only so long as, in doing so, we do not harm others. 58. Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the author?A. Everyone has a right to hold his own opinion. B. Free expression of opinions always leads to confusion

50、.C. Most people tend to be careless in forming their opinions.D. Casual use of the word “opinion” often brings about quarrels. 59. According to the author, who of the following would be labeled as intolerant?A. Someone who turns a deaf ear to others opinions.B. Someone who cant put up with others ta

51、stes.C. Someone who values only their own opinions.D. Someone whose opinion harms other people.60. The new Ford cars are cited as an example to show that _.A. it is foolish to criticize a famous brand B. one should not always agree to others opinionsC. personal tastes are not something to be challen

52、gedD. it is unwise to express ones likes and dislikes in public61. Considered judgment is different from personal preference in that _.A. it is stated by judges in the courtB. it reflects public like and dislikesC. it is a result of a lot of controversyD. it is based on careful thought DA friend of

53、mine, in response to a conversation we were having about the injustices of life, asked me the question, “Who said life was going to be fair, or that it was even meant to be fair?” Her question was a good one. It reminded me of something I was taught as a youngster: Life isnt fair. Its disappointing,

54、 but its absolutely true. One of the mistakes many of us make is that we feel sorry for ourselves, or for others, thinking that life should be fair, or that someday it will be. Its not and it wont.One of the nice things about surrendering(屈从) to the fact that life isnt fair is that it keeps us from

55、feeling sorry for ourselves by encouraging us to do the very best we can with what we have. We know its not “lifes job” to make everything perfect, its our own challenge. Surrendering to this fact also keeps us from feeling sorry for others because we are reminded that everyone is dealt a different

56、hand; everyone has unique strengths and problems in the process of growing up, facing the reality and making decisions; and everyone has those times that they feel victimized or unfairly treated.The fact that life isnt fair doesnt mean we shouldnt do everything in our power to improve our own lives or the world as a whole. To the contrary, it suggests that we should. When we dont recognize
