23、ay. Whether they need to talk with you or just be in the same room with you, make yourself available.Even as kids get older, quality time is important. Its really hard for some people to come home after a tiring day of work, get down on the floor, and play with their kids or just talk to them about

24、their day - especially if theyve had a stressful day themselves. But expressing interest in your kids shows that theyre important to you.Help your child deal with stress by talking about what may be causing it. Together, you can come up with a few solutions. For example, he should cut back on after-

25、school activities, spending more time talking with his parents or teachers, developing an exercise plan or keeping a journal.You can also help by predicting potentially stressful situations and preparing kids for them. For example, let a child know ahead of time, but not too far ahead of time, that

26、a doctors appointment is coming up and talk about what will happen there. Keep in mind, though, that younger kids probably wont need too much advance preparation. Too much information can cause more stress.Remember that some level of stress is normal, Let kids know that its OK to feel angry, scared,

27、 lonely, or anxious and that other people share those feelings, too.When kids cant or wont discuss these problems, try talking about your own concerns. This shows that youre willing to handle tough topics and are available to talk with when theyre ready. If a child shows symptoms that concern you an

28、d is unwilling to talk, consult a counselor （顾问）or other mental health experts.Most parents have the skills to cope with their childrens stress.

Although that bird came from Guinea（几内亚）in Africa, the English apparently first import

33、ed it from Turkish merchants. So, naturally, they called it a turkey. When English speakers established their first colony in Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607, they thought they saw turkeys there too. “We found an island, on which there were many turkeys,” wrote one. These birds were not from Turkey and

34、 were not related to the Guinean fowl（家禽）of Africa. But turkeys they were called, and turkeys they remain.Much of what we know about the Jamestown colony was written by Captain John Smith, whose efforts preserved the colony from collapse（垮掉）and who in turn was preserved by the Indian “princess” Poca

35、hontas. Smiths accounts of the colony frequently mention turkeys as food, gifts, and objects of trade. In 1607, Smith wrote, to celebrate the first peace after the first armed fight, the Indians brought turkeys, bread and what they had, singing and dancing in celebration of friendship till they depa

36、rted. Elsewhere Smith noted that the Indians made warm and beautiful cloaks（披风）from turkey feathers. Further north, as the Plymouth colony neared the end of its first year in 1621, Governor William Bradford also observed a great flock of wild turkeys, of which they took many. Undoubtedly, turkeys we

37、re among the fowls served at the first Thanksgiving dinner.Despite those significant beginnings and Benjamin Franklins lobbying（游说）, the turkey lost to the bald eagle in the contest for American bird. And it is a loser in modern English slang, too. Since the 1920s, turkey has been a term for a play

38、or movie that is a failure, and since the 1950s for a person who is not fit for his job. But though the turkey never succeeded in becoming the American symbol, it did become the American feast. Thanksgiving is Turkey Day, and the turkey has come into our language more than other birds. We never “tal

39、k eagle”, we “talk turkey” when we speak frankly.55. Who named the bird turkey?A. English speakers. B. Turkish merchants. C. Captain John Smith. D. Guineans.56. It can be inferred from the second paragraph that _. A. turkeys were brought to Jamestown by Smith B. the Indians fought with Captain Smith

40、 for turkeys C. turkeys were served at the first Thanksgiving dinner D. Captain John Smith wrote a book named Jamestown Colony57. When we say somebody is a turkey, it means _. A. he is very angry B. he has no ability to do his job C. he likes eating turkeys D. he speaks frankly58. Which of the follo

41、wing statements is true according to the passage? A. The turkey was beaten in a fight by the bald eagle. B. Turkeys were introduced to America from Guinea. C. The turkey has become American food because it was beaten. D. Turkey has become a term of failure in modern English slang.DChinese writer Mo

42、Yans Nobel Prize for Literature might ignite an explosion of global interest in Chinese literature and lead to more titles translated into English, European experts say.“Hopefully, the award means more people will read Chinese literature and more works will get translated,” says Michel Hockx, profes

43、sor of the Languages and Cultures of China and Inner Asia from University of London. “Many very good Chinese writers have been accepted globally for a long time already. Mo Yan is probably the most translated Chinese writer alive, with at least five of his novels made available in English over the p

44、ast 20 years.”Jonathan Ruppin, web editor of bookseller Foyles, says Mos win coincides with growing interest in Chinese literature and recognizes the talents of a distinctive and visionary（富于幻想的）writer. “We are very excited by the fact that English translations of more of his books should now become

45、 available,” Ruppin says. He made the comment after Mo became the first Chinese citizen to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in its century-long history.As East-West cultural exchange has been booming, Chinese literature has been attracting growing attention in recent years. Hockx explains, “Its ma

46、inly because there are many more opportunities for Chinese writers to visit other countries, to publish their works outside China and to interact with readers abroad. At the same time, more and more people globally are learning Chinese and taking an interest in the Chinese language and culture.”Univ

47、ersity of Oxford lecturer in modern Chinese literature Margaret Hillenbrand says, “The obvious reason for the growing global presence of Chinese literature is the growing global presence of China itself. People have come to realize that there is a serious knowledge deficit （缺少）between China and its

48、international counterparts in particular, China knows incomparably（无比地）more about Europe and America than the other way round and reading Chinese literature is an effective, simple means of solving that gap.”59. The underlined word “ignite” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_”. A. start out B. burn up

49、C. set off D. appeal to60. Chinese literature has been attracting growing attention mainly because A.

50、literature D. the cultural communication between China and western countries has developed61. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Chinese literature has spread with the development of China. B. The Nobel Prize for Literature has a history of hundreds of years. C. In the past,

51、 no Chinese writers were accepted outside China. D. Foreigners know about China mainly by reading Mo Yans works.62. How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? A. China knows more about Europe and America than before. B. China knows more about Europe and America than they kn

52、ow about China.C. China, Europe and America know one another more than before.D. Compared with America, China knows more about Europe.DI live in the land of Disney, Hollywood and year-round sun. You may think people in such a splendid, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some m

53、istaken ideas about the nature of happiness. Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more lasting emotion.Goin

54、g to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a

55、role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful individuals have constant access to glamorous parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells “happiness”. But in memoir（回忆录）after memoir, they reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug a
