(2016·兰州高三诊断)Your kids learn a lot from their friends — things you cant teach them, no matter how much you want to.
Probably the most important thing kids learn is how to have peer relationships. As a parent, you can?t do this, because you and your child aren?t equals.
For example, when you?re sitting on your family room floor and your very young child asks you to pass him the blocks, you probably hand them right over. If your child is sitting with a peer and asks the same thing, though, he might not get what he wants.
To succeed, your child will need to learn strategies for getting what he wants. For example, he might simply yank (猛拉) the toy out of his friend’s hand. If he does that, he may learn that it’s not the best way of getting what he wants because it leads to fighting and timeouts. The successful child will learn that he needs to negotiate a trade, to wait patiently, or to find something else equally fun to play with.
Friends also provide emotional support, something that is part of the foundation of healthy adulthood. You can?t be with your child on the elementary school playground or at the high school dance. Your child?s friends will be the ones to stick_up_for her, to include her in games, and later, to tell her she looks great even if her lousy prom (糟糕的舞会) date wanders off instead of dancing with her.
Friends also help your children learn. Friends solve problems together, imitate each other, and pass on knowledge.
Some experts believe that the single biggest predictor of your child?s success later in life is her ability to make friends. In fact, they claim it?s even more important than IQ and grades.
This doesn?t mean that the kids who are most popular in school do the best later on in life. What matters is not the number of friends a child has but rather the quality of the relationships.
This is good news for those of us who hate to think that popularity really is the Holy Grail of childhood and adolescence. While it’s true that popularity has many advantages, and that many popular kids really are nice people — and not just the best dressed or best looking — it’s better to have a few good friends than to have the admiration of the masses.

(2016·山东省日照市校际联合检测)“Friendly doctors are bad for their patients’ health，” researchers have warned as a new study revealed two thirds of young doctors struggle to be truthful with patients they like.
Blurring (使……变得模糊不清) the lines between social and professional relationships can affect the level of care offered and prevent patients from being honest about important side effects.
“Doctors should avoid adding patients as friends on Facebook, and they should not hug or allow patients to call them by their first names，” regulators have warned. “Those who break the boundaries will face some punishment.”
It comes as a survey of 338 oncologists (肿瘤学家) under the age of 40, finding 59 per cent said they found it difficult to tell the truth to those patients they like. Sixty per cent of respondents said if doctors felt too close to their patients, it could prevent them from making objective decisions about a person?s care.
Lesley Fallowfield of Brighton and Sussex Medical School said：“Oncology is a profession that can be enormously rewarding but is filled with many challenges. Young oncologists have to master the means of dealing with anxious patients who are facing a lifethreatening disease, conveying the true prognosis (预断), discussing the complexity of modern treatments, and explaining the unavailability of some drugs, the side effects of treatments, and likely treatment aims.”
But she also said, “Those doctors who have entered the profession in the age of ’the Internet world’ are more likely to fall victim to blurring the professional boundaries with patients.”
She said，“The difficulty, if you hug and kiss patients, if you allow them to call you by your first name, is that quickly the relationship can become confusing as a social one rather than a professional one. Doctors become confused, ’I really like these people, how
can I bear to tell them that they’re going to die？ They find it more difficult to be objective.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。最新研究表明，医生的态度友善反而对患者的治疗不利，因此医生和患者之间需要保持适当的距离。5．Why are friendly doctors bad for their patients health?
A．Because they dont like to cheat patients.
B．Because they are not good at treating patients.
C．Because they find it not easy to be objective to the patients.
D．Because they seldom blur the relationship with patients.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“two thirds of young doctors struggle to be truthful with patients they like”及最后一段中的“They find it more difficult to be objective.”可知，三分之二的年轻医生很难对他们喜欢的病人讲实话，他们很难客观地对待病人，这样对患者的治疗不利，故选C项。
6．What should doctors do according to the regulators?
A．Add patients as friends on Facebook.
B．Have a close connection with patients in life.
C．Always be cold to patients.
D．Keep patients at a proper distance.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据文章的第三段可知，医生应该避免在脸谱网上添加患者为朋友，他们也不应该拥抱病人或让病人直呼他们的名字，即医生应该和病人保持适当的距离，故选D项。
7．Which opinion will Lesley Fallowfield agree with?
A．Oncology is a rewarding profession without challenges.
B．The Internet makes it easier for young doctors to break the boundaries.
C．Its not the doctors’ duty to deal with patients’ anxiety.
D．Becoming friends with patients will help them recover soon.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Those doctors who have entered ... boundaries with patients.”可推知，网络使得医生更容易模糊与病人之间的职业分界线，故选B项。
8．Young oncologists will face the following challenges EXCEPT ________.
A．dealing with a lot of lifethreatening diseases
B．discussing difficulties of treatments with patients
C．explaining the unavailability of some medicines
D．informing patients of the possible results of the treatments
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“Young oncologists have to master ... and likely treatment aims.”可知，B、C、D三项表述正确；年轻的肿瘤学家需要掌握如何对待面临生命威胁的焦虑病人，A项“处理很多威胁生命的疾病”表述错误。故选A项。

(2016·华中师大附中高三上学期期中检测)Chinese female scientist Tu Youyou won the 2015 Nobel Prize in medicine on October 5 for her discoveries concerning a novel treatment against malaria (疟疾). This is the first Nobel Prize given to a Chinese scientist for work carried out within China.
Tu shared the prize with Irishborn William Campbell and Satoshi Omura of Japan, who were honored for their revolutionary
antiroundworm treatment. 84yearold Tu is awarded this prize for her contribution to cutting the death rate of malaria, reducing patients? suffering and promoting mankind?s health. Although she received several medical awards in the past, the 2015 Nobel Prize is definitely the most privilege reward that recognizes Tu?s dedication and perseverance in discovering artemisinin (青蒿素), the key drug that battles malariafriendly parasites (寄生虫).
However, her route to the honor has been anything but traditional. She won the Nobel Prize for medicine, but she doesn’t have a medical degree or a PhD. In China, she is even being called the “threenoes” winner: no medical degree, no doctorate, and she?s never worked overseas. No wonder her success has stirred China?s national pride and helped promote confidence of native Chinese scientists.
The fact that Tu has none of these three backgrounds reminds us that science should be more accessible to all. One shall be able to become a scientist no matter what kind of background he or she comes from, as long as one dives into scientific research. There have been discussions on people who really love science but are never able to achieve much during their whole life. Their contributions can never be ignored. They work so hard to prove the wrong way so that the future researchers will be closer to the right one.
As the first Chinese mainland Nobel Prize Winner of natural science award, Tu?s recordbreaking winning also serves as a reminder to those who are too eager for instant success. Science is never about instant success. Tu spent decades on scientific research before its value is officially acknowledged. There is no way to measure how much one devotes to science and compare it with how much reward he or she may get.
语篇解读：中国女科学家屠呦呦获得了2015年度诺贝尔医学奖，作为一名“三无”无医学学位、无博士学位、无海外经历获奖者，她带给我们很多值得思考的东西。
9．We can know from the text that ________.
A．Tu worked at home and abroad to conduct her research
B．Tu got the Nobel Prize for her antiroundworm treatment
C．the Nobel Prize is the first award to recognize her work
D．her discovery of artemisinin has helped to cut malaria death rate
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第三段第三句中“shes never worked overseas”可知A项错误；根据第二段第一句可知，进行antiroundworm treatment的是爱尔兰和日本的两位科学家，故B项错误；根据第二段最后一句可知，屠呦呦曾经获得过几个医学奖项，故C项错误。根据第二段第二句可知D项正确。
10．The author seems to agree that a person who is more likely to become a scientist is the one with________.
A．a sense of national pride
B．relevant academic knowledge
C．a desire to achieve success

A．inform readers of the news and make comments
B．discourage the pursuit of instant success in science

(2016·济南一中第一学期期中质量检测)Square dancing is a form of entertainment and physical exercise, which is a good thing. However, a group of senior Chinese ladies dancing in New Yorks Sunset Park were recently faced with noise complaints from nearby residents. The local court even served a summons (传票) related to a certain Ms. Wang.
The news soon caused heated discussion across China, with many believing the incident to involve a cultural conflict between the East and West, while others view it as a form of discrimination against Chinese in the United States.
The United States is a diverse society, and in many cases, Chinese dancers are tolerated and even appreciated. Meanwhile, the United States is a society based on the rule of law, and due to cultural differences, local regulations seem to be very different from those in China. As a result, some old Chinese ladies dancing in New York’s Sunset Park found themselves caught in an embarrassing situation. Locals and immigrants from other nations view such noise as a violation of their right to enjoy tranquillity. Calling the police is regarded as the most efficient way to solve such a problem.
Before, these ladies probably did not understand local customs and rules. However, since the incident took place, they should perhaps know a little better next time and keep the noise to a minimum. People from different nations are often supposed to reach compromises, respecting and tolerating each other.
Whatever your choice of entertainment is, it is important not to affect other people’s lives. Square dancing is only one of many activities during which people should mind their behavior.
As for U．S. police practice, there might still be some room for improvement. Some were said to be rather rude, leading to the socalled “racial discrimination”， which is a sensitive topic in U．S. society.
If the involved parties could be more tolerant, and solve such problems without involving the court, perhaps immigrants would mix more.

(2016·河南省高考适应性测试)
How to Be a Good Friend
A good friend, who wouldnt want one? Ever felt yours just not good enough but don’t know where to improve? __1__ I used to annoy a lot of my friends before, just for the sake of having fun and from that, I’ve learned how to be a good friend, and stay as a good friend.
Listen.
No one likes being interrupted when they’re talking. So, when someone talks, keep yourself quiet and listen to them, especially if they’re feeling down, you need to be the shoulder for them to cry on. If you have any comment to make, be sure that you word it in a way where you don’t sound too negative. __2__ When you just don’t share the same interest or you’re not in the mood to listen to them, politely let them know and ask them to understand.
Always smile.
__3__ The least you can do is, whenever you see your friends, smile and say hello. That way, if they had a bad day, you can make them feel better with your smile along with your ear, and maybe, you can share something funny to cheer them up.
Don’t ever lie.
Everyone would hate being lied to, especially if it’s by your own friend, so don’t lie! It might seem alright to lie occasionally, but once you lose your friend’s trust, you may lose them forever. __4__
Keep secrets.
Make sure you can keep a secret. If not, tell your friends straight away you cannot help yourself when it comes to secrets. Otherwise, when you let them tell you about their secrets and you “accidentally” share it with someone else, you’ll have your friends hating you for the rest of your life. __5__ Secrets are not meant to be shared, so don’t even try.
A．Everyone has their bad days, and its unavoidable.
B．And that is something you surely do not want to happen.
