Read the article and select the best answer. Article: Teenagers are often a difficult group. With all those hormones flooding their bodies, they can be moody, unpredictable, and tend to make uncertain choices. But however confusing their teenage years are, kids can still be generally happy, depending on their lifestyle choices. According to a new research by British scientists, teens who don't smoke, drink only moderately or not at all, and who don't eat much junk food are likely to be happier than other teens. The study looked at 40,000 British families and came up with some interesting findings. For example, kids who never drank alcohol were up to six times more likely to report higher levels of happiness than kids who drank. And teens who smoked were five times less likely to rate high on happiness charts compared to kids who don't smoke. Same goes for diet and physical activity. The more fruits and vegetables kids eat, and the more hours they spend playing sports, the happier they are. Now, of course this doesn't mean that not smoking or drinking, and playing sports guarantees happiness. It could be that kids who have happy character tend to be more active and less addicted to drinking or smoking. And it could equally be the case that kids who are unhappy are more related to drinking and smoking and eating junk food. Other studies have shown that exercise is a proven way to treat anxiety and depression. Future studies may support the idea that other healthful behaviors, including refraining from smoking, drinking, and eating too much junk, can avoid sadness and increase happiness, too. Question: Which can be the best title for the text? Options: A: Ways to treat anxiety and depression. B: Exercise and teenagers' health. C: Teenagers shouldn't drink or smoke. D: Teenagers' lifestyle and their happiness.

Read the article and select the best answer. Article: There is an agreement that we are depriving this current generation of young kids a chance to do what they are not only equipped to do,but need to dotake some risks.And we're not talking about unimportant ones,either.Kids need to learn how to handle "dangerous" things like power tools,make fires,and have the benefits that occur from "playing with knives". Hanna Rosin focuses on some of the misguided reasons we are raising "The Overprotected Kid" in the Atlantic.She says our concerns with kids' safety go beyond the actual risks. I agree with this new opinion. For many kids growing up today,there are fewer and fewer opportunities to practice risk taking.Risk taking is an important skill every kid needs to learn,how to do something that they are a little seared of doing because they haven't done it before.Part of the reason for "Overprotection" is certainly the parental fear. This is certainly evident in terms of the physical environment. I claim that much of the parental concern isn't driven by.fear of injury--it's more about concern with success. "Play" may be in fact less dangerous than our structured sports--yet we focus more on the risk because we don't see the benefit.And this broader concern with success is not limited to the playground or sports field."Overprotection" certainly happens in the social and academic fields as well,as phrases like "helicopter parent" have become mainstream.There is plenty of social and academic risk taking that can also be prevented because of the perception of risk. Question: Which of the following are "helicopter parents" according to the passage? Options: A: those who help their children take responsibility for their own action B: Those who find out the important elements of a healthy development C: those who give advice on how to find their own sense of creativity D: Those who offer any help whenever their children are in need

Ques: Read the article and select the best answer. Article: You may know your mother, but how well do you really know Mother's Day? Cards, flowers, sales, TV specials, and a day off for someone who really deserves it --those are what probably come to mind for many people when they think of Mother's Day. But there's more about the story. The earliest Mother's Day celebrations were held during spring in Ancient Greece. The celebrations honored Rhea, the Mother of the gods. During the 1600s, England celebrated a day called Mothering Sunday. On this day even servants were given the day off to spend with their families. A mothering cake was even served with the family meal. In the U.S., Mother's Day began in 1872 when Julia Ward Howe, who wrote the words of the famous song The Battle Hymn of the Republic, suggested it as a day devoted to peace. But it didn't really become popular until 1907 when Anna Jarvis started a campaign to honor her own mother. She believed that mothers could help people get over the pain they experienced during the Civil War. The U.S. isn't alone in devoting a day to its mothers. Many other countries including Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, Japan, and Belgium also celebrate their Mother's Day in May. Other countries honor their mothers at different times of the year. Learning more about Mother's Day and celebrating Mother's Day is important, but probably not as important as understanding what your own mother, or grandmother, or aunt has really done for you. And that should certainly be appreciated more than one day in a year. Question: What is the passage mainly about? Options: A: The reason why people celebrate Mother's Day. B: How people honor mothers. C: The history of Mother's Day. D: Mother's Day in different countries.
Ans: C

Ques:Read the article and select the best answer. Article: Many students are planning field trips as spring draws near. Fourteen-year-old Zhou Liqun is busy digging holes along rivers. The girl and her "One Piece of Paper Team" are planting trees to improve the environment. They collect waste paper to sell for trees and have set up websites to spread the message of connections between humans and nature. "We want to make environmental protection everyone's habit," says the girl. "Even a piece of paper matters." Eager to join Zhou in such meaningful work? Now you are offered advice on what to do. Last month, measures for public participation in environmental protection were published by the State Environmental protection Administration . The special measures are expected to change the light rain of the past into a storm of environmental protection. Last year's Songhua River pollution acted as an alarm to Chinese people. According to SEPA officials, environmental pollution has become serious, and will continue so for the next 15 years. A recent survey showed that though most Chinese people care about environmental problems, they don't put their concerns into practice. One reason is that they don't know how. So the newly published measures present information about how to report environmental problems and how to join in the battle against pollution. Actually there is much you can do in daily life. Buy less to reduce waste. Don't throw away things before you have made the most use of them. Use electricity, water and gas only when necessary. Switch them off when you don't need them. Everyone can participate in making the planet suitable for future generations. Why not join in and make our world more fantastic? Question: What is the best title of the passage? Options: A: Songhua River is in Danger B: Students Improve Environment C: Measures to Reduce Waste D: Pollution Makes Our World Worse
