My dad is very unique because of his personality and lifestyle.For instance,he put his watch on his left hand,even though he's a lefty,and parking his car only in the garage is just his thing and doesn't change.
My father only wears suits during the week because it's something very professional and formal. He loves to teach what he knows,from teaching my mother,aunt,and sisters driving skills to teaching his kids vocabulary. Also,whenever he is asked to do something at work,whatever it is,he will always complete the task on time.
My mother buys most of his clothes,as he hates big crowds. In his house,children watch TV only after finishing all homework,which he believes is the best,because the child does his homework and still stays happy.
One of my father's main focuses in life is making sure his children grow up the right way,like he did.He grew up with one sister in Chicago. As he got older,he got married to my mother who is three years younger than him.
My dad is an individual with numerous qualities. His personality is just very wonderful to live with. The manners he shows are so refined and probably much better than most people. I admire my father and want to be just like him when I grow up.

With only a click of the mouse,rumors (传言) can be forwarded between microblogs very quickly.As an example,recently,sensitive netizens discovered that some photos displayed on microblogs describing Beijing's June rainstorm had actually been fabricated.
Sina.com is one of the major Internet portals in China with hundreds and thousands of users,and a majority of celebrities and famous citizens have their microblog accounts on this portal.As recently as six months ago,the website decided to establish a specialized team to prove rumors and provide accurate information for its users.Tan Chao is in charge of the team.
“Before I took the job,I usually couldn't identify what information was real and what was fake.But during the process of identification,we discovered that a lot of information was false,including fake photos,fake news stories and rumors that had been spread through microblogs.”
It's not just website portals which are taking on factchecking responsibilities,but also a number of civicminded netizens,who recently set up a Rumor Identification Federation on Sina.com's microblog system to help netizens identify fake information online.
Dian Zizheng is the team leader of the federation.He says they've publicized more than 150 pieces which contradict rumors,which attracted more than 10 thousand visitors within two months.
“We live in an age of new media,so we can't use the old methods to prove rumors.We can't wait for the media to prove the facts with related administrative departments and then release a formal announcement.We can't allow rumors to run wild and then deal with it,we need to fight rumors while they're spreading.I think that this is the best way to deal with rumors nowadays.”
Some experts say this displays the advantages of the Internet compared to other traditional media.The open platform allows information to be examined and clarified by netizens.But experts like Ding Wenguo,President of the Journalism and Communication College at the China University of Political Science and Law says this selfcorrection function of the Internet is still quite limited.
“It's still quite difficult to tell which information is true in such an open environment by just reading a number of different opinions on the same issue.This is something which we need to pay attention to.If society is flooded with too much false information,and it's allowed to spread in such a fast manner,then people will be suspicious of all kinds of information including important information from authorities.It also worsens problems relating to social communications and mutualunderstanding,which in turn harms society as a whole.”
Experts suggest that the government should react more quickly in the Internet age.Once a rumor begins to spread,administrative departments should make announcements as early as possible to drive away rumors before they lead to bad outcomes.
【语篇大意】 本文主要介绍了随着网络时代的到来,网络谣言大行其道,严重混淆了人们的视听。为了阻止网络谣言的传播,社会各方都采取了很多应对措施,比如在谣言传播的时候就给予检查和打击、依靠网络自我纠正的功能等。
40.Sina.com decided to found a specialized team to ________.
A.prevent the spread of rumors on the Internet
B.advance the development of microblogs
C.limit the number of microblogs
D.urge the government to react quickly to the rumors

答案 A
41.The underlined word “fabricated” in the first paragraph can be replaced by ________.
A.made up
B.dug out
C.got round
D.given away
解析 答案 A
42.The writer cited Ding Wenguo's words in Paragraph 8 to ________.
A.draw a conclusion
B.introduce a topic
C.support an argument
D.describe a scene

Every night I have to go over the books he has learned from in class, signing each page to show the teacher that I have understood what the children have already done.
My child waits for me to play with him while I have my nose buried in his books.
“Have you done your homework yet, mom?”
At least once a week we are handed fliers about various events going on, while the homework keeps piling up.
And while my son throws his books in his bag every day quite happily, it's my responsibility to check he has everything he needs, that his lunchbox is washed and dry, that his water bottle is clean and full.
My child is sailing through the classes, especially, of course, English, in which they have been asked to choose an English name and decorate a nameplate for lessons.
My son, who already has an English name, has chosen another one, Harry.
Wu Shenhao, a little boy from my child's kindergarten, has chosen Helen. The girl who sits next to him has chosen Peter.
English is the one lesson I am not trapped with illegible(难以辨认的) requests and homework. The kind teacher has decided to let us off this one.
With 42 children in a class I have piles of respect for the teachers who sustain their devoted, detailed training of these young minds.
Perhaps with the homework load they are causing some kind of revenge on the parents who have produced these little charges, and in doing so have caused them all this work.
To my little boy, it's all good fun with a bit of writing and numbers thrown in.
He loves most of it, especially the weekly flagraising ceremony, which, while a little surprising to the little ones, is at least accompanied by lively music and bright red flags.

The first time that I had heard the term“EQ”was in the fall of 1995 when the book Emotional Intelligence, by Daniel Goleman, was widely covered by the American press. The widespread research presented in the book supported my own observations and doubts about life and emotions, and told me that I was on the right track to go after happiness. The research continues to confirm what I had concluded on my own: These feelings are extremely important to individual health, happiness, and social harmony. This might seem a bit obvious, but it was not always obvious to me.
I grew up in a family where we didn't talk about feelings. We talked about ideas, concepts and principles. As a result, I could tell you what I thought about everything, but I couldn't tell you how I felt about anything. After several failed relationships, I took time off to reflect on my life and realized I had made many decisions which resulted in unhappiness for myself and others. After studying the literature on emotions and feelings, I concluded that most of my poor decisions could be directly due to what is now called low emotional intelligence, or low EQ, for short. Previously, I struggled to find happiness through the traditional routes—material success. Now, however, I realize that:
There's not much point having either wealth or relationships if you aren't happy.
It is hard to be happy with others if you aren't happy yourself.
It is hard to be happy alone if you don't feel good about yourself, i.e. have high selfesteem and selfconfidence.
It is hard to have good feelings about yourself if you don't have good emotional management skills.
Emotional management skills, the main subject of EQ, are, therefore, one of the most basic elements of happiness.
【语篇大意】 情商所包含的一项主要内容就是一个人驾驭自己情感的能力。情商对于身体健康、家庭幸福以及社会和谐都是特别重要的。
52.The author's views and ideas about life were exactly proved by ________.
A.the widespread reports in American newspapers
B.own observations and doubts about life and emotions
C.ideas and views in the book Emotional Intelligence
D.the fact that he was on the right track to go after happiness

At present an increasing number of teenagers are taking part in TV talent shows,about which students' opinions are divided.Some think that it is a stage to show their talents of art,contributing much to their social experience and selfconfidence.What's more,it's good for their overall development.
However,other students hold the different idea that the teenagers are just imitating others rather than showing something original.Besides,some are such“star dream”followers that they can't put their heart and soul into their study,thus affecting their study badly.
In my opinion,important as study is,it's not the only thing we can do.It is preferable to explore our abilities in other areas besides study.
