Westerners39。 故選B。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“ （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。Yang Dongping, dean of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, says, The Chinese teaching methods are designed to strictly train the majority. Foreign teaching methods, however, are more natural and relaxing, and designed to inspire students39。 The documentary, titled Are Our Kids Tough Enough? focuses on five Chinese teachers who are sent to teach 50 UK teens at a school in Hampshire. 選A。 （4）考查主旨大意。故選C。根據(jù)第二段中的“In the months afterwards, students who had chosen to show their inner thoughts and feelings in their writing visited the health center for illness much less often than those who had written about everyday topics.”可知，在隨后的幾個(gè)月里，那些選擇在寫(xiě)作中表達(dá)自己內(nèi)心想法和感受的學(xué)生，比那些寫(xiě)過(guò)日常話題的人更少去看病。許多專(zhuān)家認(rèn)為將與令人不安的事件有關(guān)的思想和情感表達(dá)出來(lái)是十分重要的。Recently, a team of medical researchers studied the links between describing psychologically painful events and longterm health. In one experiment healthy college students were asked to write about either personally disturbing experiences or ordinary topics over a period of four days. In the months afterwards, students who had chosen to show their inner thoughts and feelings in their writing visited the health center for illness much less often than those who had written about everyday topics. 故選C。這是在說(shuō)謠言的危害，像病毒一樣容易傳播。故選D。故選C。根據(jù)第一段中的“In more traditional times they shook entire families.”；第二段中的“The fact is that rumors have great potential to upset things, whether socially or personally.”；以及第四段中的“Another property of rumors is that they tend to bee viral.”等信息可知作者認(rèn)為謠言會(huì)對(duì)個(gè)人生活和社會(huì)造成混亂，作者對(duì)謠言是批評(píng)的態(tài)度。s the author39。 Normally rumors are oral messages: word of mouth. The paradox(自相矛盾) is that there is no evidence to support rumors, but the more people share it, the more they see it as true. To finish defining rumors, we think that they follow certain very clear laws. Secrecy: The source is unknown. There is also a proven phenomenon that human beings usually forget the source of a message before they forget its content. Certainty: We hardly question rumors simply because of the mental effort involved. On the other hand, no one likes to doubt a person who convinces us that the information they spread is true. Change: It acts like a tree. New rumors branch out to fill in the gaps left by the initial rumor.t enjoy being on the receiving end of one, since they usually don39。ve all spread some. In more traditional times they shook entire families. Today, they circulate differently because the way we share information has also changed.根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的”What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores? Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return?“可知，寫(xiě)這篇文章是邀請(qǐng)讀者發(fā)表意見(jiàn)。根據(jù)第三段中的”O(jiān)ther people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money.“其他人認(rèn)為，獲得現(xiàn)金津貼或其他報(bào)酬能激勵(lì)孩子做家務(wù)，并且它也教他們關(guān)于我們是多么需要工作賺錢(qián)這一真實(shí)世界的教訓(xùn)。根據(jù)第二段中的“Susie said, ’A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It39。在交流中，有些孩子得到津貼或其他獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)，如額外的計(jì)算機(jī)時(shí)間。present the author39。 . A.s opinion on raising kidsB.kids have the responsibility to share houseworkD.D. Write a 200word response.

A.所以，文章主要闡述年輕人的幸福取決于在工作中改變世界；再根據(jù)第二段中的“Making a difference is so important to them that 45 percent say they would take a 15 percent pay cut to work at an organization that has a social or environmental influence, and 58 percent say they would take a pay cut to work for an organization whose values are the same as their own.”對(duì)他們來(lái)說(shuō)，改變世界是如此重要，以至于45% 的人說(shuō)他們?cè)敢饨邮?5% 的減薪去為一個(gè)對(duì)社會(huì)或環(huán)境有影響的組織工作，58% 的人說(shuō)他們?cè)敢饨邮軠p薪去一個(gè)與他們價(jià)值觀相同的組織工作?？芍?，多數(shù)的畢業(yè)生都認(rèn)可工作產(chǎn)生的社會(huì)影響對(duì)他們而言是重要的。根據(jù)最后一段中的“One reason for the emphasis(強(qiáng)調(diào)) on improving the world probably has to do with the culture of colleges, which encourages students to connect their studies back to realworld problems.”強(qiáng)調(diào)改善世界的一個(gè)原因可能與大學(xué)文化有關(guān)，大學(xué)文化鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生將他們的學(xué)習(xí)與現(xiàn)實(shí)世界的問(wèn)題聯(lián)系起來(lái)。根據(jù)第三段中的“Besides this, the survey found that female students are far more likely to put social influence in first place than their male classmates”除此之外，調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)女生比男生更有可能把社會(huì)影響放在第一位；以及“the results of a former study showing that female maths and science majors are more likely to say they go into those fields to make a difference.”以前的一項(xiàng)研究結(jié)果顯示，數(shù)學(xué)和科學(xué)專(zhuān)業(yè)女學(xué)生所占的比例更有可能說(shuō)她們進(jìn)入這些領(lǐng)域是為了有所作為，可以推斷出兩項(xiàng)調(diào)查的結(jié)果是一致的。 education has on their children.（3）What can you learn from the passage? people will surely gain happiness if they can make a difference in their work. than half of the college seniors will take a pay cut to work with the same values. college graduates believe it important to have a positive social influence in work. graduates are all putting more social influence in first place than male graduates.（4）Which could be the best title for the passage?
