Unexpected but Good
What a fine day! Mansor was sure that he would see his birthday present on the dining table. It had been like
this for the past 15 years. Whatever happened, his parents would place the present next to his glass of milk on that
day. He had given various hints (暗示) about what he really wanted, and even silently put a picture of the mobile
phone into his mother's handbag. It was impossible that she didn't get the message.
To his surprise, there was nothing on the table this time. The family gave morning wishes to each other as
usual and talked as if there was nothing special about the day. His mother only reminded him to clear his writing
table.
Mansor quickly ran out of the house as he did not want his parents to see he was sad that they had forgotten
his birthday! He would feel better if he joined his friends at the Old People's Home. As he did not want to stay
around the house any longer, he got into the first taxi he saw. He was still sad while he was in it.
He got down from the taxi and realized how fine the weather was. The sun was shining brightly as if to give
him joy. The chirping of the birds lightened his heart. He walked with a spring in his steps to Old People's Home.
As he looked around, he saw people laughing and enjoying themselves. These old people didn't get much care or
attention from their busy children, yet they were happy. Why should he be sad? A mobile phone was not quite a big
deal after all.
Then he decided to go home. After getting home, he started to tidy his table, knowing that his mother expected
him to do so. Wait! What's this? An air ticket to Pulau Redang (热浪岛) for a scuba diving course! "The mobile
phone is nice, but we prefer that you learn something rather than have the latest mobile phone.
Hope you will like our present."
With tears of excitement, Mansor realized that he should have known that his parents would never forget hisbirthday.
24. What did Mansor do to get the present he wanted?
A. He talked to his parents. B. He gave hints to his parents.
C. He carefully cleaned his table. D. He paid a visit to his good friends.
25. After seeing those old people, Mansor___________.
A. felt their life was so boring B. realized he shouldn't be sad
C. wanted to offer help to them D. hoped to get another present
26. What can we learn from the story?
A. Mansor liked the birthday present. B. Mansor knew his parents very well.
C. Mansor's parents would buy a new gift. D. Mansor's parents would say sorry to him.
C
Sports, drama, and all kinds of organizations keep students busy during high school. Where do they get the money
to do these things? Not everyone gets it from parents. Most have to work for at least some of the money to pay for
these activities. Some adults question if high school students should have jobs. I say yes, they undoubtedly should.
Some people worry that teens with after-school jobs will have difficulty finding time for
schoolwork. Actually, having a job helps teens make better use of their time. Many jobs take
only a couple of hours on weeknights. According to an article, 86 percent of high school
students have an after-school, weekend or summer job and students who work between 10
and 20 hours per week during the school year get higher grades than those who do not
work at all. Instead of considering working after school ahindrance, it should be looked at as
real-world education.
Other people think that work adds too much stress（压力）, which may be somewhat true, but whether having a
job or not, there is always stress. Better to learn how to deal with busy schedules（日程表）in a controlled
environment like high school than to be out on your own and alone in the future, experiencing stress for the first
time. I personally would be worried about the teenager who has to become independent without having any
experience of working.
The biggest reason teens should work is that it is a healthy way of making money. There are many things teens need
to pay for and they cannot do it if they don’t have a job. Not all parents can pay for these activities. My dad told
me, “Having a job is a good way to save up for things you are going to need or want to do. You get a lot more out
of things if you pay for them yourself.” The sooner kids make money, the sooner they can learn how to use moneywisely. If they are not allowed to work in high school, they may have a hard time in the future. Teens should,
without a doubt, be allowed to work on school nights.
27.The word“hindrance” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_______”.
A. something that encourages teens to study
B. something that helps teens improve study
C. something that prevents teens from studying
D. something that makes teens lose interest in study
28. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A. Teens are too busy with study to work at high school.
B. Teens experience stress for the first time at high school.
C. Teens are worried about being independent in the future.
.
D Teens who work will deal with stress better in the future.
29. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Working makes teens get lower grades.
B. Working teaches teens to spend money more wisely.
C. Working helps teens to get on better with their parents.
D. Working stops teens from taking part in after-school activities.
30. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. What money means to teens.
B. Why teens should work after school.
C. Whether parents should help teens find jobs.
D. How teens get money for after-school activities.
D
Researchers have recently discovered how to make families work, more successfully. A surprising idea has
appeared: the single most important thing you can do for your family, it seems, is to develop a family story.
I first heard this idea in the mid－1990s. from Marshall Duke, a professor at Emory University. Duke was
studying stories in families when his wife, a children's learning specialist, made a discovery: “The students. who
know a lot about their families will do better when they face challenges (挑战),”Sara said.
,
Interested Duke set out to test her conclusion. He and Emory workmate Robyn Fivush developed a method
called the “Do You Know?" degree that asked children to answer 20 questions such as: Do you know where your
grandparents grew up? Do you know where your mum and dad went to high school? Do you know about an illnessor something really terrible that happened in your family?
Duke and Fivush asked those questions to members of four dozen families in 2001. They then compared the
children's results with a group of psychological (心理学的) tests the children had taken and reached a conclusion
that agreed to Sara's theory. The more children knew about their families' histories, the stronger their sense of
control over their lives, the higher their self－respect, and the more successfully they believed their families
worked from generation to generation (代代传承).
“We were really surprised," Duke said. The researchers mentioned the children after the terrible events of
September 11, 2001. “Once again," Duke said, “the ones who knew more about their families proved to be
stronger."
Why does knowing where her grandmother went to school help a child overcome something terrible and
difficult? Duke said that children who have the most self-confidence have what he calls “a 'strong intergenerational
self". They know that they come from something bigger than themselves.
Duke suggested that parents do the same activities with their children again and again. Any kind of activities
work to teach the sense of history: holidays, vacations, big family get-togethers, even a drive to the shop. “These
traditions become part of your family,” Duke said.
Years of research have showed that most happy families also communicate successfully, but it's not simply a
matter of talking through problems. Talking also means telling a positive (正面的) story about yourselves. When
faced with a challenge, happy families, like happy people, just add a new chapter (章) to their life story that helps
them overcome the difficulty. This skill is very important for children when they are growing up.
The bottom lines: if you want a happier family, create, refine and retell the story of your family's best moments
and your relations' ability to overcome difficulty. That act alone may prove the fact that your family will thrive (兴
旺) for many generations to come.
31. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. Happy children are usually brought up in happy families.
B. Our family is the most important place to teach children.
C. There are many things for the young to learn from the old.
D. Family history plays an important part when children grow up.
32. What can the “Do you know?" degree tell us?
A. What relation in one's family is. B. What story one's family has had.
C. How much one knows his family. D. How much one loves his family.33. Which of the following is true, according to the passage?
A. The event of September 11, 2001 helped Duke reach his conclusion.
B. Duke thinks that a strong intergenerational self is very important.
C. Duke and Sara's research work led us to an unexpected conclusion.
D. According to Duke, positive talks will add new chapters to one's life.

The Super Bowl
The Super Bowl is the championship game of the National Football League (联盟) in America every year.
The champion of the National FootballConference (NFC) competes against the champion of the American Football
Conference (AFC) to decide which is the best team in the country. Super Bowl is far more than a sporting event.
The mix of America’s biggest instituti ons (体系):sports, TV, food consumption, advertising and entertainment
makes the Super Bowl an American cultural phenomenon.
The Super Bowl is usually held on the last Sunday of January or the first Sunday of February. That day is
called Super Bowl Sunday. For years, it has been the most watched one-day sporting event in the US and it
gradually has become an unofficial national holiday. The average viewing rate of Super Bowl reached to 44.9
percent in 2019.
Super Bowl Sunday sees more parties than any other day during the year. Young people are no exception to the
party spirit. They gather to watch the game on TV. The Super Bowl is the third biggest eating day in America —
behind Christmas and Thanksgiving. Fans host Super Bowl parties by filling their living rooms with junk food and
drinks. Guests may arrive dressed in their team’s T-shirt and carrying beer to share.
Knowing that the Super Bowl has the attention of millions of Americans, companies pay big money for game-
time advertising. In 2019, the advertising cost set a record — $5.3 million for 30 seconds. The Super Bowl has
developed to a T V selling season sandwiched between after-Christmas sales and Valentine’s Day.
Another tradition of the Super Bowl is the Halftime Show, which presents at the halftime break between the
second and third quarters. The Super Bowl Halftime Show is the most-watched musical event of the year. So it
is also called the Americans’ Spring Festival Gala. Non-football fans tune (调台) into the Super Bowl for the most
famous musicians’ performances during halftime. As the top performers, Maroon 5, Travis Scott and Big Boi gave
impressive live show for the audience in the Super Bowl Halftime Show 2019. The show represents a link between
American football and pop culture and helps broaden the television audience and nationwide interest.Americans view the Super Bowl as a National Day of revelry ( 狂欢).Although people may watch it for
different reasons, there is one thing for sure they can find their own pleasure in it.
34. What is the Super Bowl?
35. When is the Super Bowl usually held?
36. How do fans usually host Super Bowl parties?
37. Why is the Halftime Show called as the ―Americans’ Spring Festival Gala‖?
