They would select a

11、suitable chestnut, drill a hole in it and thread it onto a string, then swing their conker at that of an opponent until one of them broke. But the game has fallen out of favour. Children spend less time outdoors and rarely have access to chestnut trees. Besides, many schools have banned conkers game

12、s, worried that they might cause injuries or nut allergies.That sort of risk-averseness(规避风险) now spreads through every aspect of childhood. Playgrounds have all the excitement designed out of them to make them safe. Many governments, particularly in societies such as America, have tightened up thei

13、r rules, requiring parents to supervise(监管) young children far more closely than in the past. Frank Furedi of the University of Kent, a critic on modern parenting, argues that allowing children to play unsupervised or leaving them at home alone is increasingly described as a symptom of irresponsible

14、 parenting.In part, such increased caution is a response to the huge wave of changes. Large-scale urbanization, smaller and more mobile families, the move of women into the labor market and the digitization of many aspects of life have unavoidably changed the way that people bring up their children.

15、 There is little chance that any of these trends will be changed, so todays more intensive(精细化的) parenting style is likely to go on.Such parenting practices now embraced by wealthy parents in many parts of the rich world, particularly in America, go far beyond an adjustment to changes in external co

16、nditions. They mean a strong bid to ensure that the advantages enjoyed by the parents generation are passed on to their children. Since success in life now turns mainly on education, such parents will do their best to provide their children with the schooling, the character training and the social s

17、kills that will secure access to the best universities and later the most attractive jobs.To some extent that has always been the case. But there are more such parents now, and they are competing with each other for what economists call positional goods. This competition starts even before the child

18、ren are born. The wealthy classes will take their time to select a suitable spouse and get married, and will start a family only when they feel ready for it.Children from less advantaged backgrounds, by contrast, often appear before their parents are ready for them. In America 60% of births to singl

19、e women under 30 are unplanned, and over 40% of children are born outside marriage. The result, certainly in America, has been to widen already massive social inequalities yet further.All the evidence suggests that children from poorer backgrounds are at a disadvantage almost as soon as they are bor

20、n. By the age of five or six they are far less “school-ready” than their better-off peers, so any attempts to help them catch up have to start long before they get to school. America has had some success with various schemes involving regular home visits by nurses or social workers to low-income fam

21、ilies with new babies. It also has long experience with programmes for young children from poor families that combine support for parents with good-quality child care. Such programmes do seem to make a difference. Without extra effort, children from low-income families in most countries are much les

22、s likely than their better-off peers to attend preschool education, even though they are more likely to benefit from it. And data from the OECDs PISA programme suggest that children need at least two years of preschool education to perform at their best when they are 15.So the most promising way to

23、ensure greater equality may be to make early-years education and care for more widely available and more affordable, as it is in the Nordics. Some governments are already rethinking their educational priorities, shifting some of their spending to the early years.Most rich countries decided more than

24、 a century ago that free, compulsory education for all children was a worthwhile investment for society. There is now an argument for starting preschool education earlier, as some countries have already done. In the face of crushing new inequalities, a modern version of that approach is worth trying

45、 skill, especially when working across cultures.In international negotiations, experienced negotiator (谈判者) stay silent and impassive on purpose because that will make others feel uncomfortable and possibly make compromises without having to do anything. Americans especially cant stand silence, so t

46、hey often are the first to break the silence and sometimes might be at a disadvantage in negotiations.So, whats the best response? Set your jaw and wait it out. Dont offer a compromise just because they are not speaking. If you have to say something, ask a direct question, such as “Whats your initia

47、l reaction to that offer?” Once a silence is getting into 45 seconds you could say, “Lets come back to that in a minute and go on with the next part of our negotiation.”In presentations, silence can be far more effective than dramatic passion (热情). Before starting, look at the audience and be silent

48、 for a moment because that says, “Im in control. I know what Im doing. Im confident.”A classic example was when Apple co-founder Steve Jobs launched the first iPhone. He introduced with many pauses so that you didnt miss his key points. Because silence makes us nervous, our natural reaction is that

49、wed better pay attention, theres something going on here.Equally, when giving a speech to staff or trainees, pauses count-especially if there are negatives. If you keep talking youre spoon feeding. Give people a moment of silence to get beyond the emotional response and to start thinking consciously

50、 and processing.Silence can be an inward-focused thoughtful activity or an outward stillness where you give yourself the time to watch and think and listen to the world around you. Having observed the use of silence in Finland and also among the Blackfeet Nation, a North American Indian tribe in nor

51、thern Montana in the US, we can see benefits far beyond wheeling and dealing.Silence can be a very powerful point for understanding ourselves, understanding others, for developing better common understanding and more productive outcomes and that applies to business, politics, education, law, medicin

52、e, every area of human life.1、What is most likely to be Americans idea?ASpeaking less gives the upper hand.BThe shorter talking gaps are, the better.CA silent man is the best one to listen to.DSpeak out what you have in your mind.2、What is the purpose of the example of Steve Jobs?ATo show the wisdom

53、 of Steve Jobs.BTo explain silence can be more effective.CTo introduce how to make a presentation.DTo prove silence can ease ones nervousness.3、What is the meaning of the underlined words “spoon feeding” in Paragraph 6?ASupporting some person with any selfless help.BFeeding somebody patiently with a

54、 small spoon.CGiving others some new ideas to think over carefully.DUsing a way that discourages independent thought.4、What is the main idea of the passage?ASilence is the best defense.BSilence in negotiations is of great help.CLearning the skills about silence is important.DSilence has different me

55、anings in difficult culture.25（10分）Can you imagine printing food? Some scientists are trying to revolutionize the dining experience by doing this. They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will become as commonplace as the microwave. Scientists say that they are easy to use: you simply have

56、to select a recipe and put the raw food inks into the printer. You can also change the instructions to make the food exactly how you want it. This means that it would be very quick and easy to create tasty and nutritious meals.They say that if people used 3D printers to create meals there would be l

57、ess need for traditional growing, transporting and packaging processes as food production would be a lot easier. For example, alternative ingredients (原料) such as proteins from insects could be changed into tasty products. And as is known, those traditional activities are not beneficial to our surro

58、undings.This technology could also help people who suffer from dysphagia (a swallowing disorder). The patients could program the printer and softer versions would be made so that they would not have trouble swallowing them.However, some people think that using 3D-printed foods would be a disaster. I

59、t could take away many jobs, including those for growing, transporting and packaging food. Imagine a world where there was no need for farming or growing crops and the same tastes could be printed from a raw food ink. Likewise, traditional cafes and restaurants might lose business. Also, there are c

60、oncerns about the nutritional value of printed food: is it really possible to get the nutrients we need from food-based inks?Whats more, cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity. It is hard to imagine a world where the pastime of cooking
