It is difficult for parents of nearly every family to teach their children to be responsible for housework,but with one of the following suggestions,you really can get your children to help at home.
If you give your children the impression that they can never do anything quite right,then they will regard themselves as unfit or unable persons.Unless children believe they can succeed,they will never become totally independent.
My daughter Carla’s fifthgrade teacher made every child in her class feel special.When students received less than a prefect test score,she would point out what they had mastered and declared firmly they could learn what they had missed.
You can use the same technique when you evaluate (评价) your child’s work at home.Don’t always scold and give lots of praise instead.Talk about what he has done right,not about what he hasn’t done.If your child completes a difficult task,promise him a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.
Learning is a process of trying and failing and trying and succeeding.If you teach your children not to fear a mistake of failure,they will learn faster and achieve success at last.

“In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight.”
“Two full inches in the first three days!”
These are the kinds of statements used in magazine, newspaper, radio and television ads, promising good shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device. The promoters of products say they can shape the legs, slim the face, smooth wrinkles, or in some other way add to beauty or desirability.
Often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their promoters. The results they produce are questionable, and some are dangerous to health.
To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public, it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation. If the product is a drug, FDA (Food Drug Administration) can require proof under the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act that it is safe and effective before it is put on the market. But if the product is a device, FDA has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness. If a product already on the market is a danger to health, FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily, or it can take legal action, including seizure (查封) of the product.
One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor, which had been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds that was dangerous to health and life.
Obviously, most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings (法律诉讼), and new devices appear continually, Before buying, it is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.
49. It can be inferred that ads mentioned in the text are_____.
A. objective B. costly C. unbelievable D. illegal
50. The Relaxacisor is mentioned as______.
A. a product which was designed to produce electricity
B. a product whose distributor was involved in a legal case
C. a successful advertisement of a beauty product
D. an example of a quality beauty product
51. The author intends to______.
A. make consumers aware of the promoters’ false promise
B. show the weakness of the law on product safety
C. give advice on how to keep young and beautiful
D. introduce the organization of FDA
52. Which of the following is true according to the text?
A. The court is in charge of removing dangerous products.
B. New products are more likely to be questionable.
C. The production of a device must be approved by FDA.
D. The promoters usually just care about profits.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。
To get an extra 14 years of life, don't smoke, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly and drink alcohol in a proper amount.That is according to a study published this Monday in the Public Library of Science Medicine Journal.
After tracking more than 20,000 people aged 45 to 79 years in the United Kingdom from about 1993 to 2007, Kay-Tee Khaw of the University of Cambridge and his colleagues found that people who adopted these four healthy habits lived all average of 14 years longer than those who didn't.
“We've known for a long time that these behaviors are good things to do, but we've not seen this benefit before, ” said Susan Jebb, head of Nutrition and Health at Britain's Medical Research Council.“The benefit was also seen regardless of whether or not people were fat and what social class they came from.”
Study participants(参与者)scored a point each for not smoking, regular physical activity, eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day and moderate alcohol intake.
Public health experts said they hoped the study would inspire governments to introduce policies helping people to adopt these changes.But because the study only observed people rather than testing specific changes, it would be impossible to conclude that people who suddenly adopted these healthy behaviors would surely gain 14 years.
“We can't say that any person could gain 14 years by doing these things, ”said Dr.Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization.“The 14 years is an average across the population of what's theoretically(理论上地)possible.”
“Most people know that things like a good diet matter and that smoking isn't good for them, ” Susan Jebb said.“We need to work on providing people with much more practical support to help them change.”
53. Which of the following DOESN'T belong to the four healthy habits?
A. Eat five servings of fruits and vegetables a day.
B. Do proper exercise in the morning every day.
C. Drinking alcohol in the proper amount every day.
D. Having a cigarette before going to bed every day.
54.We can learn from the passage that .
A. Susan Jebb did not take part in the study.
B. the study observed people as well as tested specific changes.
C. there's no need for people under 45 to adopt these good habits.
D. only those from first class can benefit from these healthy behaviors.
55. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. All the people are well aware of the harm of their bad habits.
B. People aged 45 to 70 have bad habits in the United Kingdom.
C. Governments should take measures to help people change their bad habits.
D. People have adopted the four healthy habits after knowing they're good.
56. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. Smoking and Drinking Cuts You 14 Years
B. How to Live a Much Healthier Life
C. How to Make Your Life Longer Than Others
D. Healthy Habits May Give Extra 14 Years
【参考答案】53、DAC 56. D
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。
Drunken driving—sometimes called America’s socially accepted form of murder—has become a national epidemic(流行病). Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250,000 over the past ten years. A drunken driver is usually referred to as one with 0.10-blood alcohol content or roughly three beer glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American manly image and judges were lenient in most courts, but the drunken killing has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially concerning young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant(忍受).
Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend(逆转潮流)in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18—20-year-old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21.
Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach them to resist peer pressure to drink.
Though new laws have led to increased arrests and tests in many areas already, to a marked drop in accidents, some states are also punishing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A bar in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was “obviously drunk” and later drove off the road, killing a nine-year-old boy.
As the accidents continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years national prohibition(禁令)of alcohol that began in 1919, which President Hoover called the “noble experiment”. They forgot that legal prohibition didn’t stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption(腐败)and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution.
57. What can be inferred from the fact of the traffic accidents in New Jersey?
A. Young drivers were usually bad.
B. The legal drinking age should be raised.
C. Some drivers didn’t surprise the legal drinking age.
D. Drivers should not be allowed to drink.
58. The underlined word “lenient” in the first paragraph means .
A. merciful B. cruel C. serious D. determined
59. As regards drunken driving, public opinion has changed because .
A. judges are no longer lenient
B. new laws are introduced in some states
C. drivers do not appreciate their manly image
D. the problem has attracted public attention
60. Which of the following statements best shows the writer’s opinion of drunken driving?
A. It is difficult to solve this problem.
B. It may lead to organized crime.
C. The new laws can stop heavy drinking
D. There should be no bars to serve drinks.
