Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers.But last summer，Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son.Suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. "The door to his room is always shut，" Joanna noted.
Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. "She used to cuddle up （依偎） against me on the sofa and talk，" said Mark."Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something.Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady.The problem is understanding which time is which."
Before age 11，children like to tell their parents what's on their mind."In fact，parents are first on the list，"said Michael Riera，author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers."This completely changes during the teen years，"Riera explained."They talk to their friends first，then maybe their teachers，and their parents last."
Parents who know what's going on in their teenagers' lives are in the best position to help them.To break down the wall of silence，parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say，and try to find ways to talk and write to them.And they must give their children a mental （思想的） break，for children also need freedom，though young.Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend，not a manager，with their children is a better way to know them.

1．Young children who have experienced compassionate （有同情心的） love and empathy （認(rèn)同感） from their mothers may be more willing to turn thoughts into action by being generous to others，a University of California，Davis' study suggests.
In lab studies，children tested at ages 4 and 6 showed more willingness to give up the tokens （代金券）they had earned to fictional children in need when two conditions were present-if they showed bodily changes when given the opportunity to share and had experienced positive parenting that modeled such kindness.The study initially included 74 preschool-age children and their mothers.They were invited back two years later，resulting in 54 mother-child pairs whose behaviors and reactions were analyzed when the children were 6.
"At both ages，children with better physiological regulation and with mothers who expressed stronger compassionate love were likely to donate more of their earnings，" said Paul Hastings，UC Davis professor of psychology. "Compassionate mothers likely develop emotionally close relationships with their children while also providing an early example of satisfying the needs of others，" researchers said in the study，published in November in Frontiers in Psychology：Emotion Science.
In each lab exercise，after attaching a monitor to record children's heart-rate activity，the examiner told the children they would be earning tokens for a variety of activities，and that the tokens could be turned in for a prize.The tokens were put into a box，and each child eventually earned 20 prize tokens.Then before the session ended，children were told they could donate all or part of their tokens to other children.
Taken together，the findings showed that children's generosity is supported by the combination of their socialization experiences-their mothers' compassionate love-and their physiological regulation，and that these work like "internal and external supports for the ability to act prosocially that build on each other".
In addition to observing the children's propensity（習(xí)性）to donate their game earnings，Hastings suggested that "being in a calmer state after sharing could reinforce（加強(qiáng)） the generous behavior that produced that good feeling."
（1）How do young children loved by their mother tend to become in later years？
A．Considerate.
B．Emotional.
C．Generous.
D．Optimistic.
（2）What is the second paragraph mainly about？
A．The process of the research.
B．The result of the experiment.
C．The reactions of the children.
D．The importance of Mom's love.
（3）According to Hastings，what factor could strengthen children's good behaviors？
A．Their moms love them deeply.
B．They donate the tokens easily.
C．They behave physiologically.
D．They are calmer after sharing.
（4）What is probably the best title of this passage？
A．What Contributes to Generosity？
B．The More You Give，the Calmer You Will Be
C．Do You Prefer to Receive or Give？
D．More Giving，Less Receiving發(fā)布：2025/1/1 15:30:1組卷：10引用：2難度：0.6 -
2．Looking for a fun Earth Day activity？You may want to try plogging，or picking up litter while jogging.Strange as it may sound，the new "sport" is becoming popular with runners worldwide，many of whom are posting photos of themselves and friends holding bags of trash on social media.
Plogging is the idea of Erik Alstrom.In 2016，after moving to Stockholm in northern Sweden，Alstrom showed concern over the amount of trash on the road during his daily bike ride to work.Thus，he began plogging during his daily runs.
Other joggers soon joined Alstrom，and the activity became so popular that official "plogging" events started all across Sweden.As plogging became popular on social media，the new "sport" began to spread beyond Sweden，first to other European countries and then worldwide.
The official online "Plogga" group now includes members from over 40 countries，all the way from United States cities like Ohio to Thailand and Ecuador.Many school running clubs are also getting in on the action to encourage people，staging competitions that reward the runners with the heaviest trash bags.
As it turns out，plogging is not only good for the environment but also a healthy way to exercise.According to Swedish fitness app Lifesun，an average person burns about 288 calories while plogging for half an hour.This is about 50 calories more than he/she would burn when just jogging.Additionally，the constant squatting（蹲）to pick up litter increases the plogger's flexibility，while lugging（費(fèi)力地拖）around the increasingly heavy garbage bags helps strengthen his/her arm muscles.
On this Earth Day，be sure to put on your running shoes，carry a trash bag or two，and go plogging.Or better still，start a plogging team at school，or around your neighborhood，and make every day Earth Day!
（1）Why did Erik Alstrom decide to pick up litter while running？

A．They post photos of official events online.
B．They explain what plogging means on stage.
C．They compete with one another for members.
D．They hold competitions to attract people to plog.
（3）Why is Swedish fitness app Lifesun mentioned in paragraph 5？
A．To show that plogging is of benefit to health.
B．To say that plogging is environment-friendly.
C．To offer the approaches to exercising properly.
D．To tell joggers to carry heavy bags to work out.
（4）What is the best title for the text？

3．Lonely？You're hardly alone.Since COVID-19 struck，few teens have been able to spend as much time at school or with friends as they used to.But even before the COVID-19，loneliness was becoming a growing problem for teens.And the trend（趨勢）appears throughout industrial nations across the world.That's the finding of a new study.
In America，the share of lonely teens jumped from 18 percent in 2012 to 37 percent in 2018.Overall，during those years，the share of girls reporting loneliness basically doubled in the countries studied.The increase in boys was somewhat smaller.
The new study connected rising loneliness to a greater use of smartphones and the Internet.Jean Twenge works at San Diego State University.He and his team found that since 2012，U.S.jye.ai have been spending less time together face-to-face.So this increase in loneliness started long before the COVID-19 made such meet-ups unsafe.
"Smartphones can help us connect with friends，" says Twenge. "But they can also make us feel excluded（受排擠的）." Girls，especially，may feel this way.One reason may be that they post more photos than boys.Studies have shown that if those images don't get many "likes''，it can affect a teen's mental health.And then there's "phubbing"（低頭族）.It's that moment in which a friend or a family member takes out a phone and plays with it，ignoring everybody else.
The new study mainly refers to a survey called the Programme for International Student Assessment （PISA）.Some one million teenage students from 37 countries took this survey in 2000，2003，2012，2015 and 2018.Its questions mostly dealt with education.But they also included six statements about loneliness，such as， "I feel awkward and out of place in my school." The good news：Even in 2018，most teens around the world still felt liked and included at school.But the fact that so many were reporting loneliness is a worrisome trend.
（1）What's a finding of the new study？
A．People struggle with COVID-19.
B．More girls than boys suffer loneliness.
C．Teens are eager to connect with friends.
D．There are more girls than boys in the U.S.
（2）What is Paragraph 4 mainly about？
A．What leads to friends' ignorance.
B．What benefits girls' mental health.
C．How smartphones lead to loneliness.
D．How smartphones help teens communicate.
（3）What can we infer about PISA mentioned in the last paragraph？
A．It explains the problems teens face.
B．It is the reference（參考）of the new study.
C．It lists the statements about loneliness.
D．Its result brings us much concern about teens.
（4）Which of the following is a suitable title for the text？
A．A Growing Number of Teens Feel Lonely.
B．Loneliness Contributes to Failure at School.
C．COVID-19 Greatly Affects American Teens.
D．A New Study Shows Teens' Life on the Internet.發(fā)布：2025/1/1 15:30:1組卷：1引用：3難度：0.6
