How to Help Kids Grow?
All parents have sky-high hopes for their children. We want them to be confident and content. What can parents do to help their kids grow up to lead happy and productive lives? Experts advise:
1. Helping them find their talents. In order to succeed, children need to feel they're good at something. So expose your children to as many interests as possible; then let them choose those they like best!
2. Applauding their accomplishments. A study found that students whose parents fussed over their abilities were far more likely to do well in school—and in life—than students whose parents didn't show such support. So celebrate your kids' achievements, no matter how small they are.
3. Giving them responsibilities. Responsibilities help youngsters grow into mature and self-motivated adults. So assign your children household chores when they are young. Four-year-olds can pitch in by picking up their dirty clothes and helping to set the table.
4. Letting them make decisions and mistakes. Making their own decisions increases a child's self-control and boosts their self-esteem. And allowing kids to make wrong decisions—as long as doing so won't harm them—helps kids learn from their mistakes.
5. Encouraging them to solve their own problems. As they grow, children need practice in communicating, standing up for themselves and compromising. One of the best places to learn these skills is at home. So the next time your child runs to you complaining that her brother picks on her, step back and let them work it out.
41、 What should parents do so that their children are likely to do well in school? ______
A. Have high expectations on them.
B. Appreciate their achievements.

When I was very young, people in our village lived by planting fruit trees. My grandmother always took me to the orchard(果园) on the hill. At that time, they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill halfway up the hill. Even though they worked so hard, the production level of fruit was still low because it was short of water there.
One day, two young men led a group of workers to our village. They learned about the difficulties we faced, and later, canals and other projects began to be built in our village. "Who are they?" I asked. "They are good men from our government," my grandma replied.
Shortly afterwards, I moved to another city for my junior high school. The only reason I ever came back to my hometown was my grandmother.
One day, my family and I made time to return. We were surprised because everything had changed. The canal ran past every orchard so villagers didn't have to go up and down the hill anymore. The river was now so clean that fish swam happily in it. When we arrived home, my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples. She told us that after the water conservation project (水利工程) was completed a policy(政策) was made to encourage more people to increase the fruit production with clean water in the river.
Thank those good men who have devoted themselves to the development of our countryside. Nowadays, people work hard to live in a big city. However, we should not forget our hometowns where we are from.

If you have to describe yourself to someone else, what will you say? It can be difficult to see yourself from the outside, but knowing who you are, namely self-awareness, can help you understand feelings and make friendships closer.
Self-awareness means having a good understanding of our own character, that is, having the ability to see ourselves clearly. If you're self-aware, you may know that you love playing an instrument because you do well in it and music makes you happy, or that you prefer watching TV on your own because it helps you relax.
Knowing what you like and dislike, what you do well in and what you find difficult allows you to make better decisions about friendships, schoolwork and so on. You learn to trust your own feelings more, which builds confidence. The World Health Organization says self-awareness is one of the ten important life skills that help young people live happier, healthier lives. Being self-aware doesn't mean only thinking of yourself. By understanding your own feelings, you will better understand other people too.
How do you learn to be self-aware? It's a good way to ask questions. But ask yourself questions that start with "What" instead of "Why". So if you don't understand why you keep arguing with a friend, ask yourself what you disagree on instead of why you're arguing.
Learning to be more self-aware is a skill, which means you learn it as you grow. So be bold and try out new things, like playing a new sport or listening to different kinds of music. Don't be afraid to dislike something—discovering what you find difficult is a key part of learning more about yourself.
51、 What is the second paragraph mainly about? ______
A. What self-awareness is.
B. What true happiness is.
C. How to find true happiness.
D. How to develop self-awareness.
52、 Knowing yourself is important because ______.
A. it'll make you think more of yourself
B. it'll make you perform better at school
C. it'll help you learn how to ask proper questions
D. it'll help you have a better understanding of others
53、 What does the underlined word "bold" in the last paragraph probably mean in Chinese? ______
A.努力的 B.自豪的 C.大胆的 D.耐心的
54、 What's one of the keys to becoming more self-aware? ______
A. Being in high spirits.
B. Discovering your weak points.
C. Having a taste for pleasant music.
D. Learning to get along well with others.
55、 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? ______
A. It can be hard for you to know yourself well from others.
B. It takes a lot of time and energy to develop close friendships.
C. It is important and necessary for you to make a right decision.
D. It is a must to stick to your opinions when arguing with others.
Online meetings may affect creativity, study finds. Many companies have moved online because of COVID-19, with work meetings around the world taking place on the Internet instead of in the office. But a recent study has found that online meetings may affect creative thinking.
The study, published in Nature, included 602 people who were divided into random pairs. Each pair was given five minutes to think of creative uses for one certain item, and then one minute to choose the most creative idea. Some pairs were asked to work together on a video call, while others worked in person. The results showed that the in-person pairs had more ideas than the virtual pairs.
Some researches were also done to see whether focusing on a screen could affect a person's creativity. Teams working together virtually spent more time looking directly at each other and remembered lots of their surroundings when asked later. The in-person pairs spent more time looking around the room but also had more ideas.
The researchers did the same study with 1,490 engineers. The pairs were asked to think of new product ideas and choose one as an idea for their company. The results were similar to the first study, with the engineers who met in person thinking of more product ideas, and the virtual pairs making slightly better decisions about which idea to choose.
The results suggest that businesses should think carefully about which tasks can be done online, and which—like thinking of new ideas—should be done in person.
56、 According to the passage, under the influence of COVID-19, besides offline meetings, some companies also have meetings ______.
A. airline B. online
C. underline D. outline
57、 How many pairs were there in the study published in Nature? ______

58、 What does the phrase "in person" in the passage mean? ______
A. Going somewhere and doing something oneself.
B. Communicating by email.
C. Asking someone else for help.
D. Experiencing something different.
59、 According to the last paragraph, the study results suggest that ______.
A. if a company wants to get more creative ideas, online meetings should be held
B. all tasks can be done online
C. if a company wants to get more creative ideas, in-person meetings should be held
D. businesses should pay less attention to which tasks can be done online
60、 Which of the following statements is NOT true? ______
A. The study published in Nature showed that online meetings might affect creativity.
B. The study with engineers showed that the virtual pairs made slightly better decisions about which idea to choose.
C. Focusing on a screen can affect a person's creativity.
D. The in-person pairs had fewer ideas than the virtual pairs.
Many people believe that teaching children music makes them smarter, and better able to learn new things. But the organizers of a new study say there's no scientific evidence that early musical training affects the intelligence of young people.
An estimated 80 percent of American adults think music lessons improve children's ability to learn and their performance in school. They say that the satisfaction from learning to play a new song helps a child express creativity.
Researchers at Harvard University, however, have found that there's one thing musical training does not do. They say it does not make children more intelligent.
Samuel Mehr, a graduate student at Harvard's School of Education, says it is wrong to think that learning to play a musical instrument improves a child's intellectual development. He says the evidence comes from studies that measured the mental ability of two groups of 4-year-olds and their parents. One group attended music class, and the other went to a class that places importance on the visual arts—arts that can be seen.
"The evidence there is 'no'. We found no evidence for any advantage in any of these tests for the kids participating in these music classes," said Mehr. There was no evidence that the musical training group did much better in the mental tasks than the other group. The researchers confirmed the results with a larger group of children and their parents.
Mr. Mehr says music lessons may not offer children a fast and easy way to gain entry to the best schools later of their life. But he says the training is still important for cultural reasons, in his words, "We teach music because music is important to us."
61、 The word "intelligence" in Para. 1 can be best understood as the ability to ______.
A. speak B. dance
C. learn D. paint
62、 According to the second paragraph, most of the American adults think that ______.
A. children's ability to learn can be improved by music lessons
B. teachers are satisfied with students who can play a new song
C. students with good performance in school should learn music
D. music lessons are more important than other lessons in school
63、 Which of the following belongs to "visual arts"? ______
A. Music. B. Photography.
C. Literature. D. Talk show.
64、 Which of the following statements is NOT supported by Samuel Mehr? ______
A. Learning to play a musical instrument can't improve a child's intellectual development.
B. Kids gain no advantage on their mental ability from participating in music classes.
C. Music lessons may not add to students' chances of receiving the best education.
D. Musical training is unimportant.
65、 What can be the best title for this passage? ______
A. The Best Way to Improve Students' Intelligence
B. No Evidence Found on the Effect of Musical Training on Intelligence
C. Benefits of Musical Training
D. How to Improve Students' Performance in School
