Our “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down.“I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie.
Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I’ll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out.
The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time. Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around，”Christie shared with me quietly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention.
Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering (口吃) son, Tom, doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who’s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.
The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child－talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves (應得到) to be an only child at least once in a while.
1.What is the text mainly about?
A. The experience of the only child being with mother.
B. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time.
C. The happy life of two families.
D. The basic needs of children.
2.Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were ______.
A. happy B. curious
C. regretful D. friendly
3.What is one of the changes the author finds in her children?
A. The daughter acts like a leader.
B. Sam holds her hand more often.
C. The boys become better followers.
D. Tom has less difficulty in speaking.
4.The author seems to believe that ______.
A. having brothers and sisters is fun
B. it’s tiring to look after three children
C. every child needs parents’ full attention
D. parents should watch others’ children

A． How inner beliefs can help
B． Why are habits so important
C． How to develop positive habits
D． Improve your life
E．You can do it
F．Action plan
The single most important factor that contributes to success is what you do every single day．It is as simple as that．Your habits will determine whether you are successful or not．If you have strong and healthy positive habits，it does not matter whether or not you fail today because you are guaranteed to succeed in the long run．
1._________________________________
Because you repeat the same actions and the same behaviors every single day，a single positive action will not change your life，but the same action repeated 1,000 times will have a significant impact on your life．For example，if you go to the gym one time，you won’t see a big difference in your life．However，if you go to the gym 1,000 times over a five year period，you will see a big difference in your body．The same principle applies to finance，health，relationships，work，career，and school．Simple positive actions repeated every single day will have a great impact on your life in the long run．
2._________________________________
There’s nothing easier than developing positive habits．You simply have to do every single day the action you want to make a habit．If you want to develop the habit of running，run almost every day．If you want to develop the habit of eating healthy，eat healthy every day．If you want to develop the habit of reading，read every day．Habits are created by repetition．The more you do an action，the easier it becomes in the long run．
3.__________________________________
If you want to be successful in changing your habits，you should think about changing your inner beliefs about your habits．For example，your old belief was: “I love cigarette because it makes me feel good and relaxed． I need cigarette to be happy and relaxed． ”If you keep this belief，you won’t be able to keep your resolution to stop smoking for very long．Instead，you should adopt this new belief: “I love yoga because it makes me feel good and relaxed． Cigarette is poisonous and destroys my body．Yoga makes me happy．” You should analyze your beliefs and make sure they won’t stop you from changing your habits．The same is true when you try to form positive habits．If you want to start eating healthy food，here are some positive beliefs you should start thinking about: “Healthy food is very good for my health．It gives me a lot of energy and I feel very good． ”
4.___________________________________
It’s now time for you to develop positive habits in your life and avoid your negative habits．Write down 3 positive habits that you would like to develop and 3 negative habits that you would like to get rid of．For each positive habit，write down exactly what actions you’re going to take every single day in order to develop the new habit．For each negative habit，write down exactly what actions you’re not going to take in the next weeks．Here are some positive habits that will lead to success: exercise，healthy food，reading，saving，studying，healthy relationships，hard work，etc． Here are some negative habits to get rid of: gambling，drug and alcohol abuse，overeating，shyness，etc．
5._____________________________________
Everybody can change．All it takes is courage and commitment．Decide right now to improve your life by changing your habits．Take action right now！Don’t be afraid． Yes，you will probably make mistakes along the way．But never forget that success is guaranteed for you if you have positive habits in your life．If you refuse to quit，success will be yours．

Tom was one of the brightest boys in the year, with supportive parents. But when he was 15 he suddenly stopped trying. He left school at 16 with only two scores for secondary school subjects. One of the reasons that made it cool for him not to care was the power of his peer (同齡人) group.
The lack of right male (男性) role models in many of their lives — at home and particularly in the school environment (環境) — means that their peers are the only people they have to judge themselves against.
They don’t see men succeeding in society so it doesn’t occur to them that they could make something of themselves. Without male teachers as a role model, the effect of peer actions and street culture (文化) is all-powerful. Boys want to be part of a club. However, schools can provide the environment for change, and provide the right role models for them. Teachers need to be trained to stop that but not in front of a child’s peers. You have to do it one to one, because that is when you see the real child.
It’s pointless sending a child home if he or she has done wrong. They see it as a welcome day off to watch television or play computer games. Instead, schools should have a special unit where a child who has done wrong goes for the day and gets advice about his problems — somewhere he can work away from his peers and go home after the other children.
1.Why did Tom give up studying?
A. He disliked his teachers.
B. His parents no longer supported him.
C. It’s cool for boys of his age not to care about studies.
D. There were too many subjects in his secondary school.
2.What seems to have a bad effect on students like Tom?
A. Peer groups. B. A special unit.
C. The student judges. D. The home environment.
3.What should schools do to help the problem schoolboys?
A. Wait for their change patiently.
B. Train leaders of their peer groups.
C. Stop the development of street culture.
D. Give them lessons in a separate area.
4.A teacher’s work is most effective with a schoolboy when he __ .
A. is with the boy alone
B. teaches the boy a lesson
C. sends the boy home as punishment
D. works together with another teacher

Short and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. "Football, tennis, Cricket—anything with a round ball, I was useless." he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the object of jokes in school gym classes in England's rural Devonshire.
It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first the teen went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to cycle along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed, strength and endurance. At age 18, he ran his first marathon.
The following year, he met John Ridgway, who became famous in the 1960s for rowing an open boat across the Atlantic Ocean. Saunders was hired as an instructor at Ridgway's school of Adventure in Scotland, where he learned about the older man's cold-water exploits（成就）. Intrigued, Saunders read all he could about Arctic explorers and North Pole expeditions, then decided that this would be his future.
Journeys to the Pole aren't the usual holidays for British country boys, and many people dismissed his dream as fantasy." John Ridgway was one of the few who didn't say, 'You are completely crazy,' " Saunders says.
In 2001, after becoming a skilled skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition toward the North Pole. He suffered frostbite, had a closer encounter（遭遇）with a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit.
Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he's skied more of the Arctic by himself than any other Briton. His old playmates would not believe the transformation.
This October, Saunders, 27, heads south to explore from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, an 1800-mile journey that has never been completed on skis.
1.The turning point in Saunders’life came when _____
A. he started to play ball games
B. he ran his first marathon at age 18
C. he got a mountain bike at age 15
D. he started to receive Ridgway’s training
2.We can learn from the text that Ridgway _______.
A. won his fame for his voyage across the Atlantic
B. built up his body together with Saunders
C. hired Saunders for his cold-water experience
D. dismissed Saunders’ dream as fantasy
3.What do we know about Saunders?
A. He followed Ridgway to explore the North Pole.
B. He once worked at a school in Scotland.
C. He was chosen for the school sports team as a kid.
D. He was the first Briton to ski alone to the North Pole.
4.The underlined word “Intrigued” in the third paragraph probably means_____.
A. Excited B. Fascinated
C. Delighted D. Convinced
5.It can be inferred that Saunders’ journey to the North Pole ______.
A. was accompanied by his old playmates
B. made him well-known in the 1960s
C. was supported by other Arctic explorers
D. set a record in the North Pole expedition

Money is the root of all evil and new study claims there may be some truth behind the saying. Scientists at the University of California. Berkeley, US，announced on February 27 that rich people are more likely to do unethical (不道德的)things, such as lie or cheat，than poorer people.
The scientists did a series of eight experiments. They published their findings online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS，《美國國家科學院院刊》).
They carried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley. They noted that drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks. Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive cars ignored a pedestrian compared with only 30 percent of people driving more modest (不豪華的)cars.
In another experiment，a group of college students was asked if they would do unethical things in various everyday situations. Examples included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more change. Students from higher-class families were more likely to act dishonestly.
According to the scientists，rich people often think money can get them out of trouble. This makes them less afraid to take risks. It also means they care less about other people’s feelings.
Finally，it simply makes them greedier. “Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more，and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self-interest，’’said Paul Piif, lead scientist of the study.
Piff pointed out that the findings don’t mean that all rich people are untrustworthy(不能信賴的)or all poor people honest. He said the experiments were to show how people living in different social situations express their instincts and values in different ways.
1.By saying “money is the root of all evil”，the author wants to___________.
A. draw readers’ attention to the research
B. link wealth with bad behavior
C. show how the saying proves the findings
D. defend rich people who do unethical things
2.Which of the following is TRUE about the experiments the scientists did，according to the scientist quoted?
A. Most wealthy people are not trustworthy.
B. The findings were not persuasive enough and the scientists will do further experiments.
C. Drivers of more expensive cars are more likely to break traffic rules.
D. Students from poorer families are not as honest as students from richer families.
3.Why did the scientists do the experiments?
A. To show how social status affects people's ethics.
B. To show people’s instincts and values in different ways.
C. To test whether the saying “money is the root of all evil” is true.
D. To show the difference between higher-class people and lower-class people.
4.What does the article really want to show us?
A. Money is the root of all evil.
B. The rich are more likely to act badly.
C. The saying is reasonable.
D. All rich people are untrustworthy.
