1、 Man has always wanted to fly. Some of the greatest men in history had thought about the problem. One of them, for example, was the great Italian artist, Leonardo Da Vinci. In the sixteenth century he made designs for machines that would fly, but they were never built.

Throughout history, other less famous men had wanted to fly. An example was a man in England 800 years ago. He made a pair of wings from chicken feathers. Then he fixed them to his body and jumped into air from a tall building. He did not fly very far. Instead, he fell to the ground and broke every bone in his body.

The first real steps took place in France, in 1783. Two brothers, the Montgolfiers, made a very large "hot air balloon". They knew that hot air rises. Why not fill a balloon with it? The balloon was made of cloth and paper. In September of that year, the King and Queen of France came to see the balloon. They watched it carry the very first air passengers into the sky. The passengers were a sheep and a chicken. We do not know how they felt about the trip. But we do know that the trip lasted eight minutes and that the animals landed safely. Two months later, two men did the same thing. They rose above Paris in a balloon of the same kind. Their trip lasted twenty-five minutes and they traveled about eight kilometers.

2. "You're trying to control my life," says my nine-year-old son. "I don't know why you think you can do that, but you can't." I received this bit of information after I asked Gabriele to put his dirty socks in the basket. And I get no sympathy from my mother, who says, "You let him have his way from the beginning."

It's true. I have always asked Gabriele's opinion, found out how he felt about things - treated him as my peer, not my child. And what have I got from my troubles? A lot of back talk. At least I'm not alone; it's a complaint heard among parents across the country.

It's not just that we're confused by the contradictory advice offered in parenting books. The fact is, in an effort to break away from how we were raised - to try something more liberal than our parents' "do it because I say so" approach - our generation has gone too far. "Today's parents want to be young, so they try to be friends with their children," says Kathy Lynn, a parenting educator.

"When it comes to discipline, our society has gone from one extreme to the other," says Ron Moorish, a behavior specialist. "We used to use the strap, to intimidate. Then we had permissiveness, and now it's about giving children choices and allowing them to learn from their own experiences."

Real discipline, says Moorish, is about teaching. "By correcting our children when they do something wrong, we teach them how to behave properly," he says. But this only works, he emphasizes, if parents regain their position of authority. Children will always be children. The key is for parents to choose to take the time to guide and teach their kids.

Rita Munday, a mother of four children, couldn't believe the dramas that played out in the children's shoe store she operated. She often saw children insist on having the high-priced, brand-name shoes. And even when the mother didn't want to spend the money, she would give in when the kid

started acting up and throwing shoes around.

Rhonda Radice, Munday's younger colleague, is one parent who has bucked the trend - and is proud of it. "I don't negotiate with them. You can't. I've seen parents come into the store and bribe their children to behave. You shouldn't have to buy love and respect."

(6)、The author's way of treating her son ______A______.

A：is shared by many parents

B：is encouraged by her mother

C：proves to be quite successful

D：shows little concern for the child

(7)、It can be inferred from the passage that _____C_____.

A：parents should learn to make friends with their children

B：parents need to follow the advice of parenting books

C：today's children enjoy more freedom than the previous generation

D：today's parents are better at raising children than previous generation (8)、According to the passage, to have "discipline" means that parents should _____B______.

A：adopt the "do it because I say so"approach

B： teach their children to understand the rules

C：negotiate with their children for a decision

D：never allow their children to have their ways

(9)、If Ronda Radice is the parent who has "bucked the trend", which of the following can also be cited as the example for"bucking the trend"? D

A：Parents buy whatever their children want.

B：Parents treat their children as their equals.

C：Parents make decisions for their children.

D：Parents maintain authority over their children.

(10)、The main point of the passage is to _____B_____.

A：compare different ways of raising children

B：analyze the problems faced by today's parents

C：explain the importance of understanding children

D：point out the mistakes made by the older generation

3、 One day in 1965, when I was a library worker at school, a teacher came to me. She had a student who finished his work before all the others and needed something more difficult for him to do. "Could you help me in the library?" she asked. I said, "Send him along."

Soon, a golden-haired boy appeared. "Do you have a job for me?" he asked. I told him about a system for sorting books. He picked up the idea immediately. Then I showed him some cards for some unreturned books that I thought had been returned but not recorded. Maybe some books were put on wrong places. He said, "Is it a kind of a detective （侦探） job?" I answered yes, and then began his work.

He had found three books with wrong cards by the time his teacher opened the door and said, "Time for rest!" he argued for finishing the finding job, but the teacher won.

The next morning, he arrived early, "I want to finish these books," he said. At the end of the day, when he asked to work with me more often, it was easy for me to say yes.

After a few weeks I found a note on my desk, inviting me to dinner at the boy's home. At the end of a pleasant evening, his mother declared that the family would be moving to another school. Her son's first concern, she said, was leaving the library. "Who will find the lost books?" he asked. When the time came, it was hard to say goodbye. Though at the beginning he had seemed an ordinary boy, his strong feeling of interest had made him different. Do you know who he is? This boy became a great man of the Information Age: Bill Gates.

(11)、Why did the teacher go to the library to find a job for Bill Gates? C A：Because the teacher found the librarian quite busy.

B：Because Bill Gates wanted to find a job.

C：Because Bill Gates finished his study quickly and had more free time than the others.

D：Because the library needed a new worker.

(12)、What do you know from the passage? B

A：Library work was very difficult for Bill Gates.

B：Bill Gates did his job without any difficulty.

C：The librarian was too busy to have a rest.

D：His mother hoped that Bill Gates would stay for his job.

(13)、The sentence "He picked up the idea immediately" means that

___A___.

A：he learned that system quickly

B：he collected that system quickly

C：he lifted up that system quickly

D：he improved that system quickly

(14)、What was Bill Gates expected to do in the library? D

A：Finding the lost cards.

B：Learning the system.

C：Helping the worker with everything in the library.

D：Finding books with wrong cards.

(15)、How did Bill Gates feel when his family would move to another school area? C
