　　(2016重庆一诊)

　　Just a couple of hours ago,I was on the plane,ready to fly home from London.The flight had been delayed by a few hours so it felt good to be so close to take-off.I had my iPod in place and a new book to read.Then,over the loudspeaker came the pilot’s voice,“The ground crew has found a metal instrument in one tire.We regret that we must cancel this flight.”

　　The passengers’ reactions that announcement led to were interesting.One man close to me began to argue with a flight attendant.A couple in another row complained loudly.A businessman in a black suit actually kicked the seat in front of him.Yet some passengers responded differently.An elderly gentleman smiled as he helped others take their bags down from the overhead compartments.A teenager,rather than trying to rush off the plane like most of the other passengers,stopped to help a woman with a disability.The lady sitting next to me laughed and said,“Hey,it’s not the end of the world,”before she made a call to her kids and shared her adventure with them.The wisest among us have a remarkable ability to maintain grounded when times get tough.

　　No life is perfect; mine certainly isn’t.We all must face challenges,both large and small.You and I have the power to choose to rise above the external circumstances.We always have the choice to be strong and kind when things fall apart.

　　That’s grace under pressure.My seatmate was right—things could have been so much worse.Anyway,I am safe.I have my health.I have two wonderful children.I have work I love and so much to be grateful for.Sure I now have to wait a few hours to catch the next flight home.

　　Psychologist Joseph P.Allen says almost all parents and teenagers argue.But it’s the quality of the arguments that makes all the difference.

　　“We tell parents to think of those arguments as a critical training ground,”he says.Such arguments,he says,are actually mini life lessons in how to disagree—a necessary skill later on in life with partners,friends and colleagues.

　　Teens should be rewarded when arguing calmly and persuasively and not when they are yelling,crying or threatening,he says.

　　In Allen’s study,157 13-year-olds were videotaped describing their biggest disagreement with their parents.Allen interviewed the teens again at ages 15 and 16.“The teens who learned to be calm and confident and persuasive with their parents acted the same way when they were with their peers(同龄人),”he says.They were able to confidently disagree,saying “no” when offered alcohol or drugs.In fact,they were 40 percent more likely to say “no” than kids who didn’t argue with their parents.

　　For other kids,it was an entirely different story.“They would back down right away,”says Allen,saying they felt it pointless to argue with their parents.This kind of passivity was taken directly into peer groups,where these teens were more likely to acquiesce(勉强同意) when offered drugs or alcohol.“These were the teens we worried about,”he says. 

　　So,the best thing parents can do is help their teenager argue more effectively.For this,Allen offers one word:listen.

　　In the study,when parents listened to their kids,their kids listened back.They didn’t necessarily always agree,he says.But if one or the other made a good point,they would acknowledge that point.“They weren’t just trying to fight each other at every step and wear each other down.They were really trying to persuade the other person.”

　　Acceptable argument might go something like this:“How about I prove to you I can handle it for three weeks before we make a final decision about it?”

　　Again,parents won’t necessarily agree.But “they’ll get across the message that they take their kids’ point of view seriously and honestly consider what they have to say,”Allen says.

　　【语篇导读】本文是议论文。研究表明和家长理性地争论有益于孩子们的成长。

　　5.According to Allen,teens should be encouraged to 　. 

　　A.earn more rewards

　　B.develop new practical skills

　　C.yell and cry when they want to

　　D.argue with their parents persuasively

　　答案:D

　　解析:细节理解题。由第二、三段可知,青少年应该被鼓励和父母争论。

　　6.What does the underlined part “back down” in Paragraph 5 mean?

　　A.To give up. B.To get angry.

　　C.To show off. D.To make threats.

　　答案:A

　　解析:词义猜测题。上一段讲和父母冷静地争论的孩子们会在必要时表达不同意见,对待问题有自己的独立的看法。本段讲另外一些截然不同的孩子,他们认为和父母争论没有意义,所以他们在和父母有不同意见时会立即认输。这就导致他们无法形成独立的见解,容易被误导。故A项正确。

　　7.Whom was Allen worried about?

　　A.Teens who were addicted to drugs.

　　B.Teens who drank too much alcohol.

　　C.Teens who always argued with others.

　　D.Teens who didn’t say no when necessary.

　　答案:D

　　解析:推理判断题。由第五段中的“they felt it pointless to argue with their parents.This kind of passivity was taken directly into peer groups...”可推断,Allen担心的是那些没有自己独立见解的青少年。

　　8.Allen advises parents to 　. 

　　A.try to agree with their kids

　　B.always try to persuade their kids

　　C.consider the feelings of their kids

　　D.communicate with their kids effectively

　　答案:D

　　解析:细节理解题。由最后四段可知,Allen建议家长认真听孩子讲话并认真答复他们,也就是说家长要和孩子有效地沟通。

　　Ⅱ.七选五

　　Shed(去掉) that sweet tooth

　　The World Health Organization (WHO) has set new dietary guidelines for people around the world.The guidelines advise people to cut back on their sugar intake to stay healthy.

　　The guidelines do not apply to the sugars in fresh fruits and vegetables or those that are naturally present in milk.According to the WHO,there is no reported evidence of negative effects of consuming those sugars.1.　 These include sugars that are added to processed foods and drinks such as cookies,candy,and soft drinks. 

　　2.　 The reason is they exist in foods we might not think of as sweets,such as honey and ketchup(番茄酱).Health experts advise consumers to look at ingredients on food packages to help make better-informed decisions. 

　　In the U.S.,adults currently get about 11 to 15% of their calories from added sugars.3.　 For adults in Hungary and Norway,it is about 7%.In Spain and the United Kingdom,sugar makes up as much as 17% of adults’ diets. 

　　Kieran Clarke,scientist of the University of Oxford,said,“4. Even if you are not eating lollies(棒棒糖) and candy,you are probably eating a fair amount of sugar.”

　　But Clarke also notes that for those people who can’t shake their love for sweets,getting more exercise is a good solution.She said,“5.　 But it’s very hard to avoid large amounts of sugar unless all you’re eating is fruits and vegetables.” 

　　A.Sweet treats can be hard to resist.

　　B.In Europe,sugar intake varies by country.

　　C.New health guidelines advise less sugar in our diets.

　　D.The trouble is,we really do like sugar in a lot of things.

　　E.If you get enough exercise,you can eat almost anything.

　　F.Added sugars are sometimes described as “hidden” sugars.

　　G.Instead,the new guidelines focus on “added” or “free” sugars.

　　答案与解析:

　　【语篇导读】本文是说明文。世界卫生组织建议人们减少糖的摄入量。

　　1.G　解析:G项与下文的“These include sugars that are added to processed foods and drinks such as cookies,candy and soft drinks.”相呼应。

　　2.F　解析:下文的“The reason is they exist in foods we might not think of as sweets...”与F项构成因果关系。

　　3.B　解析:下文列举了在欧洲不同国家糖摄入量的不同情况。故B项恰当。

　　4.D　解析:D项与下文的“Even if you are not eating lollies(棒棒糖) and candy,you are probably eating a fair amount of sugar.”相呼应,强调很多食物中都含糖。

　　5.E　解析:E项与上文的“getting more exercise is a good solution”相呼应,指出运动可以消耗掉糖。
