I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it , at certain times a wonderful reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal. I’ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself (懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in , and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me . His mother was ashamed. “ I don’t know what to do with him these days,” she said. “He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.” He hasn’t forgotten them. He’s just decided that he’s not going to use them. She confessed(坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor. Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say ,”I don’t like your dress, it’s ugly.” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home. “Where did we go wrong?” her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents. 56. This text is most probably written by_____. A. a specialist in teenager studies  B. a headmaster of a middle school C. a parent with teenage children   D. a doctor for mental health problems 57. The underlined word “ it” in the second paragraph refers to ____. A. the change from good to bad that’s seen in a child B. die way that parents often blame themselves C. the opinion that a child has of his parents D. the advice that parents want their children to follow 58. The boy on the sofa would most probably be described as ___. A. lazy    B. quiet    C. unusual    D. rude 59. From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters___. A. pay no attention to them        B. are too busy to look after them C. have come to hate them        D. feel helpless to do much about them 60. What is the author’s opinion about the sudden change in teenage children? A. Parents have no choice but to try to accept it. B. Parents should pay still more attention to the change. C. Parents should work more closely with school teachers D. Parents are at fault for the change in their children.  B Every year, earthquakes are responsible for a large number of deaths and vast amounts of destruction(破坏) in various parts of the world. There are about a million quakes a year. Fortunately, however, not all of them are destructive. The intensity (强度) of an earthquake is measured on the Richter Scale, which goes from zero upward. The highest magnitude recorded to date is 8.9Major damage generally occurs from quakes ranging upwards from 6.0. The actual cause of earthquake itself is the breaking of rocks at or below the breaking of rocks or below the earth’s surface. This is produced by pressure which scientists believe may be due to a number of reasons, two of which are the changed of the earth’s crust (外壳) and continental drift(漂流). In order to minimize the damage and to decrease some of the pain resulting from earthquakes, scientists are working on ways to improve accurate prediction. Two kinds of the instruments now in use to achieve this goal are seismograph(地震仪) and tilt (倾斜) meter. The former records any shaking of the earth. Seismologists ca accurately record the exact time, location and size of an earthquake. The latter, as the name suggests, is used to record any changes in the tilt of the land. 61. Which of the following statements is NOT true, according to the passage? A. The highest magnitude of earthquake recorded is 8.9 B. Major damage usually happens when the intensity of an earthquake is below 6.0 C. Scientists usually use seismographs and tilt meters to predict earthquakes now. D. Continental drift may cause an earthquake. 62. What’s the main idea of the passage? A.  Earthquakes can cause a lot of damage. A. Scientists are working hard to predict the earthquakes. B. The reason why earthquakes happen. C. Introduce the earthquake and its prediction.  63. Where does the passage mot likely come from? A. A newspaper.  B. A report   C. A science magazine.    D. A history book.  C WELCOME TO YOUR FREE ISH MEMBERSHIP Your Membership International Students House is a unique, cultural and recreational centre providing a wide programme of events for students 310 days a year.
