Nearly all children have trouble getting along with their parents. They know theft parents love them and have done much for them, but they find it hard to communicate or obey their parents' rules. Arguments such as these as well as other kinds of family conflicts can be resolved by following principles of communication, respect, and consideration. The most important element of any relationship is good communication. When parents make a rule for their children, they will usually explain the reason for their rule. For example, "I don't want you to be out after 10 o'clock at night because I don't think it is safe." Perhaps the child disagrees with this rule. The child should communicate by expressing his or her opinion politely. Talking through a disagreement can often help parents and children understand each other. Then, respect is important. Even if a child disagrees with the final decision of the parent, he or she should still show love and respect in word, action, and attitude. Often, the child becomes angry or complains when he does not get his way. Children who want to be treated like adults should act in a responsible and trustworthy manner. Third, it is important to consider the needs and fights of the other person. Caring for others requires resisting pride and selfishness. If a child helps with housework and thanks his parents often, the parents will appreciate it, and their relationship might be better. These principles can be applied to any relationship. A person who communicates well and shows respect and consideration should have little trouble in relationship with parents or others.1. Regarding parent-child conflict, the author thinks ______.at one time or another all parents and children have conflictsparents and children should never have conflictsconflicts between parents and children can never be resolvedunresolved conflicts will cause more conflicts later in life 2.

The children can show their consideration to their parents by the following EXCEPT ______.resisting pride and selfishnesshelping with houseworkthanking their parents oftendisagreeing with parents' final decision 5. In the last paragraph, the author suggests that ______.it is impossible for a child to get along well with his/her parentsdeveloping the skills to get along well with parents can also help with other relationshipsa person who is good at communicating with others may also have trouble in parent-child relationshipif a person cannot get along well with others, he will never get along well with his/her parents

Scientific publishing has long been a license to print money.Scientists need journals in which to publish their research，so they will supply the articles without monetary reward.Other scientists perform the specialized work of peer review also for free，because it is a central element in the acquisition of status and the production of scientific knowledge. With the content of papers secured for free，the publisher needs only find a market for its journal.Until this century，university libraries were not very price sensitive.Scientific publishers routinely report profit margins approaching 40% on their operations，at a time when the rest of the publishing industry is in an existential crisis. The Dutch giant Elsevier，which claims to publish 25% of the scientific papers produced in the world ，made profits of more than £900 m last year，while UK universities alone spent more than £210 m in 2016 to enable researchers to access their own publicly funded research；both figures seem to rise unstoppably despite increasingly desperate efforts to change them. The most drastic，and thoroughly illegal，reaction has been the emergence of Sci-Hub，a kind of global photocopier for scientific papers，set up in 2012，which now claims to offer access to every paywalled article published since 2015.The success of Sci-Hub，which relies on researchers passing on copies they have themselves legally accessed，shows the legal ecosystem has lost legitimacy among its users and must be transformed so that it works for all participants. In Britain the move towards open access publishing has been driven by funding bodies.In some ways it has been very successful.More than half of all British scientific research is now published under open access terms：either freely available from the moment of publication，or paywalled for a year or more so that the publishers can make a profit before being placed on general release. Yet the new system has not worked out any cheaper for the universities.Publishers have responded to the demand that they make their product free to readers by charging their writers fees to cover the costs of preparing an article.These range from around ￡500 to ﹩5，000.A report last year pointed out that the costs both of subscriptions and of these "article preparation costs" had been steadily rising at a rate above inflation.In some ways the scientific publishing model resembles the economy of the social internet：labour is provided free in exchange for the hope of status，while huge profits are made by a few big firms who run the market places.In both cases，we need a rebalancing of power.（1）Scientific publishing is seen as "a license to print money" partly because ____ A．its funding has enjoyed a steady increase.B．its marketing strategy has been successful.C．its payment for peer review is reduced.D．its content acquisition costs nothing.（2）Which statement is true from Paragraphs 2 to 4？ ____ A．Scientific publisher Elsevier have thrived mainly on university libraries.B．Most scientific publishers gone through an existential crisis until this century.C．Sci-Hub offers free access to paywalled articles published since 2015.D．The researchers' legally-accessed copies deny the legal ecosystem legitimacy.（3）It can be learned from Paragraphs 5 and 6 that open access terms ____ A．allow publishers some room to make money.B．render publishing much easier for scientists.C．reduce the cost of publication substantially.D．free universities from financial burdens.（4）Which of the following characteristics the scientific publishing model？ ____ A．Trial subscription is offered.B．Labour triumphs over status.C．Costs are well controlled.D．The few feed on the many.
Why some youngsters approach food as an adventure and others insist on mono-meals of macaroni (通心粉) cheese? It turns out kids' tastes for food don't happen by accident. Studies show that children prefer the flavors they experience early on, including while they're in the womb (子宫). A doctor is drawing on that research to help get more pregnant and nursing women to eat healthy and varied diets because doing so will make their babies tend to eat what's good for them. According to Alan Greene, a professor on children health at Stanford University and the author of the new Feeding Baby Green, children can acquire what he calls nutritional intelligence, which will help them choose healthy food later in life. And this intelligence springs from food impress, which begins during pregnancy. "How a child learns to eat is one of the most important health issues in this country," he says, "It's learned behavior." In his book, Greene paints a vivid picture of the budding foodie. A fetus (胎儿) in the second and third month has highly sensitive taste buds that get to experience whatever mom is eating. Fetuses remember flavors from this time in the womb and seek them out after birth. This process explains why adopted infants, when swept off to a new culture, years later prefer their native foods even though they may never have actually eaten them in the conventional sense. A study published last year in a scientific journal revealed the long-term effect of food impress. In the experiment, half of the pregnant and nursing animals were given a balanced diet of healthy foods. The other half ate some healthy food, as well as a large amount of items filled with sugar, salt and fat. Scientists found that offspring of the animals who had eaten only healthy items tended to choose those same healthy items when they became adults. They were also significantly more likely to have normal weight, blood sugar, etc. compared with the junk-food-eaters' offspring, who made less healthy choices as adults and were significantly more likely to be fat.1. To shape her baby a healthy food habit, a pregnant woman should ________.A) learn to eat green food onlyB) make a balanced food choice C) get rid of her own food preferenceD) promote her nutritional intelligence2. Prof. Greene's research is to find out ________.A) the differences between youngsters and children's food preferencesB) the differences between food impress and nutritional intelligenceC) whether food preference is acquired by nature or learned behaviorD) whether mothers' food habit during pregnancy has influence on their kids' food preference 3. The expression "budding foodie" (Para. 3) can be best replaced by ________.A) growing eater B) new food choiceC) increasing appetiteD) developing preference4. The animal experiment mentioned in the last two paragraphs can prove that ________.A) animals have the same food preference as human beings doB) animals tend to choose healthy food when they become adultsC) animals have much longer food impress effect than human beings doD) animals will experience similar influence of food choice as human beings do 5. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A) fetus will have a vivid picture of what their mother once eatB) the nutritional intelligence can only be acquired in one's childhoodC) a healthy diet should contain no large amount of sugar, salt and fat D) adopted children will not develop their preference for their local food

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.
Americans experience more food recalls (召回) today than they did five years ago, especially when it comes to meat and poultry (家禽). Meat and poultry recalls increased by two-thirds from 2013 to 2018, while food recalls overall went up 10%, according to the report recently published by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group.Meanwhile, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates (估计) 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die from food-borne disease each year in the U.S. "We are looking for the farm-to-fork preventative solutions," said Adam Garber, the research group's consumer watchdog. "By doing that, we can protect people's health."Over the five-year period, poultry posted the most recalls (168), followed by beef (137) and pork (128). The report shows the most serious meat recalls are on the rise. Among meat and poultry, the number of Class I recalls has increased by 83%, nearly doubling. Class I, the most serious of the recalls, is issued when there is a reasonable probability that the food will cause health problems or death.53. When would Class I recalls be issued?A. When the food is likely to cause health problems or death.B. When there are too many complaints from customers.C. When the food problem lasts for five years.D. When the product quality is below standard.

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.
Most children with healthy appetites are ready to eat almost anything that is offered them and a child rarely dislikes food (51) it is badly cooked.

If the father says he hates fat meat or the mother refuses vegetables in the child’s hearing he is (54) to copy this procedure. Take it (55) granted that he likes everything and he probably will. Nothing healthful should be omitted from the meal because of a (56) dislike. At meal times it is a good idea to give a child a small portion and let him (57) back for a second helping rather than give him as much as he is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child (58) meal times, but let him get on with his food, and do not allow him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will soon learn to swallow his food (59) he can hurry back to his toys.
