Last weekend, I was talking abut winter vacatin plans with a friend when I suddenly realized that this year I shuld start up an ld plan f learning hw t skate again.
I’ve always wanted t learn skating. But I didn’t have a prper chance t learn it. When I was yung, the small castal city where I lived had n ice rink (溜冰场). My parents signed me up fr classes at a skating schl ut f twn, but I had t catch the early bus n weekends t get there, and it tk tw hurs t g and cme back, s I gave it up pretty quickly.
Nw is my chance t fulfill my childhd dream! Excited, I started calling skating rinks in Beijing, hping t sign up fr lessns. But sme said they nly had classes fr children. Sme said it was t much truble t teach adults. One receptinist paused after my questin and said strangely, “Yu never learned this as a child?”
I understand if they dn’t get many adult learners, but t say that adults are harder t teach than children is such a slap in the face. I thught I lived in a sciety that encurages peple t take n lifelng learning. Is there sme unspken rule that says after ne reaches a certain age, he r she is nt allwed t learn systematically with a trainer anymre? Are adults nt allwed t pursue new hbbies?
There were many things I didn’t have time t prperly learn when I was yung. I failed t see hw imprtant hbbies were, and I was sick f my parents nagging (唠叨) me t d after-schl activities. Tday, when I want t g ut with friends, I find I have s few activities t d with them. And nw I’m being tld that I can’t even make up fr my childhd mistake. It seems that I’ve missed my chance. I missed it 20 years ag. Nw, I can nly g n being rdinary.
The authr gave up learning skating when she was yung because _____________.

C. Adults are harder t teach than kids.
D. Adults had better nt pursue new hbbies.
27. The passage is written t express the authr’s ___________.

D. blame n her parents’ nagging her t d after-schl activities

We’re nt sure where letting children drink wine fits int permissive, authritarian and authritative parenting styles, but a research team frm the University f New Suth Wales are trying t find it ut.
During their study, researchers discvered that kids wh were given alchl by their parents were mre likely t be cnsuming whle drinks by the time they were 15 r 16, but were far less likely t binge-drink(酗酒).
The researchers analyzed nearly 2,000 Year 7 students and their parents ver a fur-year perid. They measured the teenagers’ cnsumptin f whle drinks, their binge drinking—cnsuming fur r mre drinks at a time, as well as wh supplied them with the alchl: their parents, friends, r ther adults. The study fund that when children were given alchl frm their parents, they were least likely t binge-drink.
But what abut the lng-reprted damage that alchl can have n develping teenage brains? Lead authr f this study, Prfessr Richard Mattick, says that giving children alchl at an earlier age culd serve as a preventative measure f kids develping alchl-related prblems later in life. “There’s a bdy f research indicating the adlescent brain is still develping well int the early 20s and alchl may prevent the best develpment,” says Prfessr Mattick. “But als we knw parents want t d the right thing fr their children and there has been anecdtal evidence that children intrduced t alchl by their parents, as is cmmn in sme Eurpean cultures, may be less likely t develp prblems with alchl.”
Hwever, there’s ne result frm the study Prfessr Mattick can’t ignre: that being given alchl at an early age by the parents dubled (使加倍) children’s pssibility f drinking than their peers (同龄人). “There may be later harms that are nt yet bvius, and we’re aware that an early start f drinking is strngly assciated with later alchl use prblems in adulthd—putting it ff is the best strategy.”
Accrding t the researchers, kids supplied with alchl by their parents will be______.
mre likely t quit drinking in adulthd
less likely t grw int teenage binge-drinkers
mre likely t grw int binge-drinkers
less likely t have whle drinks as teenagers
29. Wh affected kids’ drinking behavirs the mst in the study?
A. Their parentsB. Their friendsC. Schl authritiesD. Strangers
30. Which statement will Prfessr Mattick agree with?
A. The brain stps develping befre the age f 20.
B. Alchl wn’t damage the develping teenage brains.
C. Giving kids alchl at an earlier age may have its benefit.
D. Eurpean kids tend t develp prblems with alchl.
31. On Prfessr Mattick’s advice, parents had better________.
A. let kids drink alchl at an early age
B. make kids start drinking alchl late
C. frbid kids t drink alchl at any age
D. permit kids t drink alchl at will

Saving smene’ s life is clearly nt an easy thing, especially when it cmes t smething as persnal and risky as sharing ne f yur kidneys（肾脏）with them. This kind f behavir always presuppses （以...为先决条件）a relatinship between the dnr and the receiver, like a husband t his wife r a father t his sn. S when a wman dnated a kidney t a cmplete stranger, she surprised the wrld with her kindness.
The stry has a surprising start, in a public bus. Rex Sctt is a bus driver and his wife, Valerie Sctt, had been dealing with kidney disease fr 7 years. Her kidneys kept grwing until they reached the size f ftballs, gradually lsing their functin. “Only a transplant peratin can save her,” Rex Sctt tld the reprters.
Rex was nt even suppsed t be driving the day that he met his wife's saviur（救星）, Jyce Smith. When Jyce Smith barded Rex' s bus, she had been n a trip with her friend, Heather Musch. Musch was als in need f a kidney transplant and Jyce had vlunteered t be her dnr. Jyce spent a mnth preparing t becme a pssible dnr. Unfrtunately, Musch was nt cnsidered healthy enugh t be a recipient （接受者）yet and the windw was clsing fast n Jyce' s pssibility f becming a dnr.
That is all until Jyce and her friend were abut t get ff Rex' s bus. "Befre he let us ff the bus, he als said he tk a kidney as a tip. If he had nt made that jke, nne f this wuld have happened,” Jyce Smith said.
Jyce was already fit t be a dnr, but since her friend Musch culd nt receive her kidney, all her effrts seemed wasted. S when she heard Rex’ s jke, she knew that her pprtunity t help smebdy came. She had already made the decisin t be a dnr, whether it was her friend r smene else.
Para. 1: “My little sn has benefited frm the transplant peratin and I want t pass the kindness n,” Jyce Smith said. ____________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para. 2: What's crazier is that Jyce Smith was a perfect match fr Valerie Sctt. __________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Dear Editr,
I’m writing t ask fr advice n my relatinship with my teenage sn. T tell the truth, I ften struggle t get alng with him. Recently we have argued with each ther a great deal.
He is anxius abut his skin because it has started t becme very ily, with lts f red spts. He is always angry these days and seems less cnfident. I keep telling him that these changes are nrmal, and that things will turn ut just fine. Of curse, I wanted t shw my cncern fr his cnditin, s I asked him t see a dctr. But then he became angry and we had a big argument. He tld me that I was putting even mre press n him by talking abut his spts all the time. In the end, I sent him t his rm. He finally calmed dwn, but it tk sme time.
The whle experience was really terrible and I d nt want t g thrugh the same thing again. What shuld I d?
Best wishes,
Mrs. Zhang

Para.1: “My little sn has benefited frm the transplant peratin and I want t pass the kindness n,” Jyce Smith said. Jyce’s little sn was a transplant recipient years ag. He gt the gift f life in the frm f a kidney transplant. “I want t d an act f kindness. I lve this kind f actin because it might make a ttal difference in the lives f thers. It was my first act f kindness, and I really want t cntinue.” Jyce Smith added, smilingly.
Para. 2: What's crazier is that Jyce Smith was a perfect match fr Valerie Sctt. Usually, it's hard t find the right match because yu dn’t just need a willing dnr. The dnr and the receiver need t have the same bld type. Luckily, Jyce was a perfect match fr Valerie Sctt. Mre frtunate is that the peratin was successful. Valerie Sctt was becming healthy slwly. The tw strangers became life-lng friends and develped a clse relatinship.
