　　His father was not so pleased and made his feelings known as he and Stephen were on their daily walk. It was the first step in his plans for Stephen to take over the estate（地產(chǎn)）when the time came, and although Stephen was well aware of this, he could think of no reason not to accompany him.

　　“Thought you’d forgotten that nonsense. Still, I dare say I could pull a few strings to get you to the Army...”

　　“No, Father! I have told you I want to learn to fly. What chance would I have to do that in the Army? I'd be better off in the Navy棗Nat least they've got the Fleet Air Arm. But I have been put in the RAF and that's where I want to be, so let’s leave it at that.” His face went red. Sent to his father's school and then to Cambridge, much to his satisfaction, he had never had to defend his own desires and his father was a hard man to oppose.

　　The father glared at Stephen, “No, I won't leave it at that. I want to know what other ridiculous ideas are in your head. For a start, what’s all this about America?”

　　“America?”

　　“Yes. All those books I saw in your room the other day. Brochures about emigration（移民）.”

　　The big, silvered head lowered, like that of a bull about to charge．“Don’t trouble to deny it. ”

　　“I won’t, Father. Some men at Cambridge have been talking about it. They want people like us here, mathematicians and scientists, for all kinds of researchthe sort of research I could do．It would be a worthwhile life for me.”The father responded exactly as his son had known he would. You've got a worthwhile life here！You’ve got an estate to run！”

　　“No, Father. You’ve got an estate to run. I never asked for it. Why not ask Baden to do this stuff? He perhaps can make a good job of it, but I... ”“If he were here, I might think about this silly idea of yours棗Ionly think about it, mind you but...”

　　Do you think it is ever a good idea for a teenager to have a credit card?

　　My kids watch closely as I swipe the card through the register. They’ve seen me do it hundreds, thousands of times. Cool. They are itching to swipe it through the machine themselves. When we walk out of the store with our groceries or pet food, or whatever, it’s almost as though money has not changed hands, painless, easy.

　　So it shouldn’t be shocking to discover that teenagers are becoming card carrying consumers in their own right. The question is, should they?

　　While some argue it’s best to teach kids how to use a credit card while still living under the family roof, not everyone agrees.

　　Dave Ramsey, financial expert says getting a credit card for your teenager is actually, “an excellent way to teach him or her to be financially irresponsible. ”

　　Now parents are required to co-sign on credit cards for children under 21. “If their name is on the credit card, then the parent may say, ‘Hey, my name is on this. Don’t get me into trouble,” says Mary Beth Pinto, a marketing professor. “When parents were the co-obligors（共同借貸人），the children caused less debt. If the parents are the co-obligors, the tendency is that the parents were explaining how to use the cards.” Still, Pinto believes parents should start the process much earlier. “Yes, there has to be teaching going on and it has to start when they’re younger. You’re not going to get rid of credit cards. They are here to stay. You have to have them.

　　You can’t fight progress,” Pinto said.

　　Ramsey, however, disagrees. “Throwing teens into a pool of （credit）sharks is a sure way to guarantee a life-time of heartache,” he said“You can make online purchases and rent a car with a credit card. Of course, you must have money in your bank account before you can make a purchase with a credit card. But paying for things with money is what you are supposed to do. ”

　　6. The author mentioned her experience in Para 2 mainly to_______.

　　A. prove the convenience of using credit cards

　　B. tell what impression credit cards leave on kids

　　C. give advice on using credit cards wisely

　　D. explain the pleasure credit cards bring to customers

　　7. The underlined word in Para 2 can be replaced by _______.

　　A. eager

　　B. afraid

　　C. embarrassed

　　D. thankful

　　8. What’s Ramsey’s attitude towards teens’ using credit cards?

　　A. He feels it is worth a try

　　B. He is very supportive

　　C. He is strongly against it

　　D. He considers it as a pleasant experience

　　9. Pinto will most likely agree that _______．

　　Aparents should let teens own their credit cards earlier

　　B. you shouldn’t be in control of credit cards

　　C. it is never good for anyone to get a credit card

　　D. learning to use credit cards is practical

　　(2024·南昌市高三調(diào)研)At first, the earth's surface layer (層) was made up of huge blocks of hard, solid rocks. Then slowly, these rocks broke up into smaller and smaller pieces. Finally stones, pebbles (礫石) and grains of sand were formed. Many sorts of plants and animals lived and died on the surface of the earth. Their remains mixed up with the stones, pebbles and formed soil. The outmost layer of the earth is soil.

　　There are many ways in which large pieces of rock break up into smaller ones. Wind, water, heat and cold help to break up rocks. When winds blow grains of sand against a large rock for a long time, the softer layers of the rock are slowly worn away. These leave holes and cracks (裂縫) in the rock, which become bigger and finally the rock breaks up into smaller pieces.

　　The moving water of streams and rivers also helps to break up rocks. As the water moves along, it carries with small pieces of rock.These rub the larger ones.

　　Thus, the larger rocks are worn down to smaller pieces.

　　The heat of the sun is also helpful in breaking up rocks. When the sun shines, the rocks become very hot.

　　If these rocks are suddenly cooled, they may crack. Ice also plays a part in making soil. Water in the cracks can turn into ice in cold weather. As this happens, it becomes bigger and the cracks become wider, and finally break up into smaller pieces.

　　1．According to the passage, soil ________.

　　A．forms very slowly

　　B．is a mixture of stones, pebbles and sand

　　C．makes up the layers of the earthD．is becoming smaller and smaller

　　2．Which of the following speeds up the breaks of rocks most?

　　A．Hot weather.B．Cold water.

　　C．Sharp changes in temperature.D．More dead plants in the cracks.

　　3．Which of the following is NOT true?

　　A．The remains of many plants and animals can form soil.

　　B．If a large rock never moves, it will never break up.

　　C．Even if a large rock never moves, it will break up.

　　D．Ice in the cracks helps to break up rocks.

　　4．The best title for this passage should be ________.

　　A．Soil from rocksB．Ways to break up rocks

　　C．Soil on the earthD．Soil, outmost layer of the earth

　　How do you enter a room full of strangers? Do you walk right in full of confidence? Or do you try to slip in without being noticed? The way you go into new situations shows your level of self-confidence.In life, we admire those who do their tasks confidently. We prefer people who appear to know what they're doing. But where does that confidence begin?

　　Developing self-confidence starts very early. It's parents' role to get kids on the right track toward becoming confident people. To help that process, parents should always offer more praise than criticism (批評(píng)). That can be done by focusing on the child's strengths. Parents should encourage their children to try new things and take risks. When children make mistakes, their parents should still let them know that they are loved. Children whose parents do these things will likely develop into confident adults. But self-confidence still doesn't come easily. So what's the solution?

　　With most things in life, practice makes perfect, and that is true of confidence skills. The more you practice them, the easier they will become.

　　Always hold your head high and look people in the eye. Answer questions clearly and confidently. The way you walk shows others how confident you are.Focus on the things that you do well, and look for opportunities to use those abilities.

　　Keep an item in clear view that reminds you of a recent success. It could be a good test score or a prize from a contest. Remind yourself that one success often leads to the next.

　　Prepare thoroughly for every project. You'll approach the task more confidently knowing that you're ready.

　　All humans fail at times, and you will too. But don't allow mistakes to trouble you. Learning from mistakes helps you face the same situation later without fear.

　　Even with practice, you will never be perfect. But you can learn to love and accept yourself and live your life with confidence.

　　Title: (1) ________ Self-confidence

　　The parent's role (2) ________ more than blame them. Encourage them to try new things and take risks.

　　Ideas about polite behavior are different from one culture to another. Some societies, such as America and Australia, for example, are mobile and very open. People here change jobs and move houses quite often. As a result, they have a lot of relationships that often last only a short time, and they need to get to know people quickly. So it’s normal to have friendly conversations with people that they have just met, and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard as personal.

　　On the other hand, there are more crowded and less mobile societies where long–term relationships are more important. A Malaysian or Mexican business person, for example, will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business. But when you do get to know each other, the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society.

　　To Americans, both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at first. On the other hand, as a passenger from a less mobile society puts it, it’s no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you don’t want to answer.

　　Cross-cultural differences aren’t just a problem for travelers, but also for the flights that carry them. All flights want to provide the best service, but ideas about good service are different from place to place. This can be seen most clearly in the way that problems are dealt with.

　　Some societies have “universalist” cultures. These societies strongly respect rules, and they treat every person and situation in basically the same way. “Particularist” societies, on the other hand, also have rules, but they are less important than the society’s unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or a particular person. So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situation or the importance of the person.

　　This difference can cause problems. A traveler from a particularist society, India, is checking in for a flight in Germany, a country which has a universalist culture. The Indian traveler has too much luggage, but he explains that he has been away from home for a long time and the suitcases are full of presents for his family. He expects that the check–in official will understand his problem and will change the rules for him. The check–in official explains that if he was allowed to have too much luggage, it wouldn’t be fair to the other passengers. But the traveler thinks this is unfair, because the other passengers don’t have his problem.

　　A. like traveling better　 easy to communicate with　

　　difficult to make real friends D. have a long–term relationship with their neighbors

　　11. People like Malaysians prefer to associate with those _______.

　　A. who will tell them everything of their own

　　B. who want to do business with them

　　C. they know quite well

　　D. who are good at talking

　　12. A person from a less mobile society will feel it _______ when a stranger keeps talking to him or her.

　　A. boring

　　B. friendly

　　C. normal
