Part III Reading ComprehensionDirections: Read the following passages carefully. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished sentences. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer to each question.Passage OneAll parents need to motivate (激励) their kids. Whether it’s getting smaller children to eat their dinner or getting a sixth-grader to do homework, getting kids to apply energy to a situation can be a challenge. The traditional way has all-too-often been to shout, threaten, and scold children into action.But while that approach has some obvious shortcomings, it turns out the opposite way can be harmful, too, according to experts. Some parents simply reward their children too much, which can reinforce (强化) a whole range of negative personalities (性格) and lead to some problematic behaviors.Children are master observers. And if you continually reward children for doing things, pretty soon they can develop the opinion that they should only do things if there’s a reward or payment involved.When parents too often reward children for various behaviors, it removes opportunities for children to judge for themselves what’s important and necessary – they always have an expert in the form of their parents to tell them what should matter to them. This can hurt their confidence in their own observations.When children are rewarded too much, they are likely to focus on external (外在的) rewards instead of internal ones – the “What’s in it for me?” attitude. And while this may prove to be a practical way to get your children to clean up the mess they made in the living room, it’s not always so handy as it grows into adulthood. At that point, this viewpoint can become a great trouble.By offering a reward anytime a task needs to be done, parents send a message to their kids that the task is unpleasant. But that may not necessarily be the case. Many tasks can be fun for children because kids have endless desire for new experiences and learning. Reward-giving often prevents this natural desire, by taking away their attention with external reinforcement.(1) (单选题)What does the author say about the two ways used by parents to get kids do things well?A.The traditional way is not good at all.B.The traditional way works better on smaller children.C.Giving frequent rewards is better than the traditional way.D.Giving frequent rewards may make children form some bad habits.(2) (单选题)According to the passage, what can be the result of motivating kids with rewards？A.Kids will learn it is rewarding to do things well.B.Kids will learn to always turn to experts for advice.C.Kids will lose their focus on more important matters.D.Kids will lose their ability to make their own judgment.(3) (单选题)What does “What’s in it for me?” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?A.What good things can I do for others?B.What expectations do you have for me?C.What reward can I get from doing this task?D.What things can I learn from doing this task?(4) (单选题)According to the author, what message can be sent if parents offer rewards to their children for every task to be done?A.The task must be unpleasant.B.The task must be challenging.C.The task can give me new experiences.D.The task can help me to learn something.(5) (单选题)Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A.What Can Kids Learn from Their Parents?B.Can It Bad to Reward Children for Being Good?C.Advantages and Disadvantages of Rewarding Children.D.Traditional Ways and New Ways of Motivating Children

Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the websites you've visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.In fact, it's likely some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen — the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked.Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that it's important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs （碎屑） you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.The key question is: Does that matter?For many Americans, the answer apparently is "no" .When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found an overwhelming pessimism about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is "slipping away, and that bothers me."But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny fraction of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths （收费站） to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon （优惠券）.But privacy does matter — at least sometimes. It's like health: when you have it, you don't notice it. Only when it's gone do you wish you'd done more to protect it.What does the author mean by saying "the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked" ?A.People's personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge.B.In the 21st century people try every means to look into others' secrets.C.People tend to be more frank with each other in the information age.D.Criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology.What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?A.Friends should open their hearts to each other.B.Friends should always be faithful to each other.C.There should be a distance even between friends.D.There should be fewer disputes between friends.Why does the author say "we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret"?A.Modern society has finally evolved into an open society.B.People leave traces around when using modern technology.C.There are always people who are curious about others' affairs.D.Many search engines profit by revealing people's identities.What do most Americans do with regard to privacy protection?A.They change behaviors that might disclose their identity.B.They use various loyalty cards for business transactions.C.They rely more and more on electronic devices.D.They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.According to the passage, privacy is like health in that .A.people will make every effort to keep itB.its importance is rarely understoodC.it is something that can easily be lostD.people don't cherish it until they lose it

Leading the list once again is anesthesiologist(麻醉师),with an average annual salary of 235 070. General and specialized physicians dominate the 10 best-paying jobs in the country. Further down the list, internists,family and general practitioners, and psychiatrists continue the trend. According to the BLS, healthcare industry expansion means that employment for physicians and surgeons is expected to grow nearly 20% between 2012 and 2022-faster than the average for all occupations. The lone representative of the corporate org.Chart that makes the list is chief executive,coming in at number 10 with an average annual salary of 178 400.

The worst-paying job in America is fast food cook, a job that pays an average of 9.07 hourly, or 18 870 for those employed full-time.Year-round. In fact, restaurant and food-service industry jobs occupy the majority of rungs at the lowest end of the wage ladder, with various positions in food preparation,dish washing,and counter and cafeteria service all paying at or below about 20 000 annually. Shampooers also bring in some of the lowest wages, at an average 9.09 per hour, or 18 910 annually, as do theater ushers. Amusement park attendants, and farm workers. Perhaps more significant than the difference between wages at the top and bottom of the compensation spectrum is how many more people hold low-wage jobs than high-wage jobs. According to the BLS, "Most of the largest occupations were relatively low paying. Of the 10 largest occupations, only registered nurses, with an annual mean wage of 68 910, had an average wagc above the US all-occupations mean of 22.33 per hour or 46 440 annually.
