Nearly a quarter of people surveyed said they had “zero” close friends with whom to discuss personal matters. More than 50 percent named two or fewer ones, most often immediate family members.“This is a big social change, and it shows something thats not good for our society,” said Duck University Professor Lynn Smith Lovin.She said it show people had a surprising drop in the number of close friends since 1985. At that time, Americans most commonly said they had three close friends whom they had known for a long time, saw often, and with whom they shared a number of interests.Ties to a close network of friends create a social safety net that is good for society, and for the individual. Research has linked social support to a longer life.People were not asked why they had fewer close ties, but part of the cause could be that Americans are working more, marrying later, having fewer children, and commuting longer distances. The data also show that the social isolation trend mirrors other class divides: Now whites and people with less education tend to have smaller social networks than white Americans and the highly educated.That means that in daily life, personal emergencies and national disasters like Hurricane Katrina, those with the fewest resources also have the fewest personal friends to call for advice and assistance.Its one thing to know someone and exchange e-mail with them. Its another thing to say, “will you give me a ride out of town with all of my possessions and pets? And can I stay with you for a couple or three months?”1. The passage is mainly about _.CA. the living conditions of AmericansB. the reduction of Americans close friendsC. social environment and close tiesD. the change of Americans ideas about friends2. Compared to Americans 20 years ago, nowadays Americans _D_.A. dont like to make friendsB. spend more time in commutingC. have larger social networksD. work harder3. Why did Americans have fewer close ties?DA. They pay much attention to work.B. They married later and had fewer children.C. They have to commute longer distances every dayD. All of above.4. According to the passage, a larger social network means that_D_.A. one has fewer difficulties in the daily lifeB. one should know how to deal with disasters in advanceC. one can make ones life interesting and richD. one can have more chances to get help when in trouble5. The last paragraph mainly tells us_A_.A. that we know someone doesnt mean he is our friendB. we should exchange e-mails with our friendsC. we can turn to friends for help from time to timeD. knowing someone speaking to someone are differentTask 2 Eat your vegetables. Wash your hands. Always say “please” and “thank you”. We are full of advice for our children, but when it comes to money, we often have little to say. As a result, our children may grow up with clean hands and good manners, but without any idea how to manage their money.Here are some basics that will help guide them their entire lives:Show them the future. If your 13-year-old girl were to save $1,000, invest it at 8% and add $100 every month, by the time shes 65, she would have $980,983.Be careful of credit. Credit cards can help you buy necessary things and build a credit history, but they must be used responsibly, which means paying off your debt in time. Explain to your children that when you buy something using a credit card, you can easily end up paying two or three times what you would have paid if you used cash.Teach patience. Suppose your child wants a new bicycle that cost $150. Rather than paying the cash, give him some regular pocket money and explain that by putting aside, say, $15 each week, he will be able to buy it for himself in only ten weeks.Provide incentive. Tell your children the importance of saving. “For every dollar he or she agrees to save and invest rather than spend, you agree to add another dollar to the pot,” says Cathy Pareto, expert in money planning.Explain your values. Values and money are deeply intertwined, say Eilleen Gallo, coauthor of The Financially Intelligent Parents. When your child demands that you buy something, explain why you really dont want to buy it. “You might say, “I d rather save that money for your education,” advises Gallo. Every time you spend or dont spend money, you have a chance to share your values.1. The writer gives some basics to help _A_ in a proper way.A. parents teach their children how to deal with moneyB. children follow their parents instructionsC. children manage their moneyD. parents save their money2. The writer thinks that, if a child wants to buy something, his parents should_B_.A. give him some regular pocket moneyB. encourage him to put money away for itC. explain to him the importance of investmentD. tell him to save some money by using a credit card3. Why you should tell your children that we should be careful of credit?A A. We must be used responsibly. B. Its too trouble to use a credit card. C. Credit cards can help you buy necessary things. D. You can easily end up paying two or three times what you would have paid.4. The underlined word “incentive” in paragraph 6 means_D_. A. honor B. praise C. excitement D. encouragement5. What leads the writer to write this article?DA. Parents want to know how to educate their children.B. He wants to share his good idea about money matters.C. He thinks money management the most important for children.D. Parents care little about their childrens management of money.Task 3Dear Brain Store Customer, We hope you enjoyed books and other items included in our catalogue 目录.

Ask Steveland Morris and hell tell you that blindness is not necessarily disabling. Steveland was totally without sight in 1950s. He became Stevie Wonder-composer, singer, and pianist. He is widely acclaimed(喝彩)for his outstanding contributions to the world.As a child, Stevie learned not to think about the things he could not do, but to concentrate on the things that he could do. His parents encouraged him to join his sighted brothers in as many activities as possible. They also helped him to sharpen his sense of hearing, the sense upon which the usually disabled are so dependent.Because sound was so important to him, Stevie began at an early age to experiment with different kinds of sound. He would bang things together and then imitate the sound with his voice. Often relying on sound for entertainment, he sang, beat on toy drums, played a toy harmonica(口琴), and listened to the radio.Stevie soon graduated from toy instruments to real instruments. He first learned to play the drums. He then mastered the harmonica and the piano.One of Stevies sessions was overheard by Ronnie White, a member of a popular singing group called The Miracles. Ronnie immediately recognized Stevies talent and took him to audition(试听)for Hitsville USA, a large recording company. Stevie recorded his first smash hit “Fingertip” in 1962 at age of twelve, and the rest of Stevies story is music history.1. This passage would be entitled_.A). The Music World B). Steveie WonderC).
