holding her back. he consumes every waking minute of her precious time and smooth-talks her as well. his goal is to get her to agree to go to the college of his choice, not her choice, and because his grades are lower, his choice will be limited. i feel like i want to rescue her, but she pushes me away and shuts me out. she has only brought us pride and joy; and now this! help! a worried motherdear mother of a 17-year-old girl, hmmmmm. whats the matter with kids today? remember that song from bye bye birdie? well if you do not, let me fill you in about teenagers and their life-management skills. do not expect too much too soon because at the ripe age of 17, life-management is not within their reach, nor should it be. life experience creates both the conditions and the skills for management, and if management went before experience, there would be little of it. your daughter is an honor student for good reasons. she is smart, studies with intelligence and you have given her good values. when the time comes for her to apply for college, and she visits the ones that are specifically designed for students at the top of their grade, she will most likely break away from her boyfriends influence. it is rare for an honor student to change the path of their academic career for puppy love. that being said, there might be some adolescent wisdom in her behavior after all. perhaps she is choosing to worry you, her parents, for unconscious reasons. being such a good girl and being a steady source of joy might have become a bit too much for her. let your daughter have her own private moment of 11th grade rebellion. she deserves a break from perfection. michelle56. from the mothers letter we can learn that her daughter _ . .a. is being fooled by the boy b. has fallen behind in her studiesc. doesnt talk much with her mother d. has chosen which college to attend57. according to michelle, 17-year-old teenagers _ . .a. are too young to manage their life b. are old enough to live their own lifec. should have management before experience d. have reached the age of an adult58. the underlined word puppy-love refer to_ . . a. false love b. foolish love c. pure love d. adolescent love59. michelle seems to believe that the daughter will finally_ . .a. come up with the right decision b. follow her boyfriends advicec. worry her parents for unconscious reasons d. influence her boyfriends behaviorbcompassion is a desire within us to help others. with effort, we can translate compassion into actions. an experience last weekend showed me this is true. i work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly. these old people are our main customers, and its not hard to lose patience over their slowness. but last sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. this untidy man walked up to my register（收款机）with a box of biscuits. he said he was out of cash (现金), had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. he asked if we could let him have the food on trust. he promised to repay me the next day.i couldnt help staring at him. i wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. i had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. i told him that i was sorry, but store rules didnt allow me to do so. i felt stupid and unkind saying this, but i valued my job.just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. if anything, he looked more pitiable. “charge it to me,” was all he said.what i had been feeling was pity. pity is soft and safe and easy. compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. i thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. then i reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. i reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.60. the aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits_ .a. hoped to have the food first and pay later b. promised to obey the store rulesc. forgot to take any money with himd. could not afford anything more expensive61. which of the following best describes the old gentleman?a. kind and luckyb. friendly and helpful c. poor and lonelyd. hurt and disappointed62. the writer acted upon the store rules because_ .a. he felt no pity for the old gentlemanb. he considered the old man dishonest c. he expected someone else to pay for the old mand. he wanted to keep his present job63. what does the writer learn from his experience?a. wealth is more important than anything else b. experience is better gained through practice c. obeying the rules means more than compassion.d. helping others is easier said than donecthe secret in re-remembering is to allow the full power of your memory to flow freely without “trying” to remember any one specific (特定的) thing.i recently sat down to a relaxed and enjoyable dinner with some friends. at the beginning of the meal, a friend told us that his car had just been broken into and his briefcase (公文包) had been stolen. he was frustrated (懊恼的) because his diary and a number of other items important to him were in the briefcase. he said he could remember only four items that were in his stolen briefcase, that he knew there were many more, that he had to give a full report to the police within two hours, and that the more he tried to remember the more blocked he became. several of us at the table who were familiar with memory principles (规则) then took him through the following exercise; instead of continuing to allow him to think of what he could not remember, we asked him when he had last had his briefcase open. it turned out that it was at the office just before he left work, at which point he suddenly remembered that he had put two important magazine articles in the briefcase. we then asked him when he had last had the briefcase open before leaving home for work. it turned out to have been the night before, and he remembered having put in two more articles as well as a tape recorder, in preparation for the following morning. finally we asked him to describe the inner (内部的) design of his briefcase, and as he went through a detailed description, he remembered pens, pencils, letters and a number of other items that he had completely “forgotten” before. within 20 minutes, he remembered 18 additional items. the secret is to “forget about” whatever you are trying to remember and “relive” all experiences that connect in any way with the item you are trying to remember. this method works at once almost in all cases, and takes the form of a created mind map around the “missing” center. this memory method, like the others, improves your memory as well as your creativity, and in addition gives you confidence when you realize that, no matter what you have forgotten, there is still a chance to solve any memory mystery (谜团)!64. which of the following shows how the man remembered the items according to the passage?a. b.cd . . 65. what does the underlined word “relive” mean in the passage? a. go through againb. get out of c. get used to againd. pay attention to66. what can be the best title for the passage?a. forgetting you can never really forget b. drawing the better way to remember thingsc. re-remembering remember what you have forgottend. replacing forgetting something instead of rememberingda serious problem for todays society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their lives. it is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society. i would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.first, employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. to make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. but when a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs.another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. this means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. this does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. this means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.in addition, the governme
