The Privileged Children

Life really should be one long journey of joy for children who are born with a world of wealth at their tiny feet.But experts on psychological research now believe that silver spoons can leave a bitter taste.If suicide statistics are a sign of happiness,then the rich are a miserable lot. Figures show that it is the rich who most often do away with themselves.
Dr. Robert Coles,an internationally famous doctor,is the world's top expert on the influence of money on children.He has written a well-received book on the subject,The Privileged Ones,and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little."Ohviously there are certain advantages to being rich,"says the 53-year-old doctor,"such as better health,education and future work expectations.But most important is the quality of family life. Money can't buy love."
It can buy a lot of other things,though,and that's where the trouble starts.Rich kjds have so much to choose from that they often become confused.Their parents' over favoring can make them spoiled.They tend to travel more than other children,from home to home and country to country, which often makes them feel restless.
"But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world,"adds Mr Coles, "and they are more self-assured."
Today's rich parents perhaps have realized that their riches can be more of a burden than a favor to their children.So their priority is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.

Dr. Robert Coles believes that________.
A:being rich has as many advantages as being poor
B:rich children often get too little entertainment
C:rich children sometimes can't enjoy the thing they are most in need of
D:rich children aren't given enough things

Passage Two
Generationsof Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is essentialto one′s life.Eating breakfast at the start of the day,we have been told,and told again,is as necessary asputting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people,the thought of food as the first thing in the morning is never a pleasure Sodespite all the efforts,they still take no breakfast.
Between 1977 and 1983,the latest year for which figures could beobtained,the number of people who didn′t have breakfast increased by 33%from8.8 million to 11.7 million--according to the Chicago-based Market ResearchCorporation of America.For those who dislike eating breakfast,however,thereis some good news.
Several studies in the last few years have shown that,for adults especially,there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast."Going without breakfast does not affect work,"said Arnold E.Bender,former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London,"nor does giving people breakfast improve work."Scientific evidence linkingbreakfast to better health or better work is surprisingly inadequate(不充分),and most of the recent work involves children,not adults."The literature,"says one researcher,Dr.Earnest Polite at theUniversity of Texas,"is poor."

Which of these is mentioned inthe second paragraph?

A.The number of the people who skip breakfast has increased.
B.Many people fill their cars withgasoline in the?morning.
C.8.8 million people got involved in astudy on?eating habits.
D.A company carried out a research in1983.

Text 1 A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys,people are actually more stressed at home than at work.Researchers measured people’s cortisol,which is a stress marker,while they were at work and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge.“Further contradicting conventional wisdom,we found that women as well as men have lower levels of stress at work than at home”,writes one of the researchers,Sarah Damske.In fact women even say they feel better at work,she notes.“It is men,not women,who report being happier at home than at work.”Another surprise is that findings hold true for both those with children and without,but more so for nonparents.This is why people who work outside the home have better health.What the study doesn’t measure is whether people are still doing work when they’re at home,whether it is household work or work brought home from the office.For many men,the end of the workday is a time to kick back.For women who stay home,they never get to leave the office.And for women who work outside the home,they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks.With the blurring of roles,and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace in making adjustments for working women,it’s not surprising that women are more stressed at home.But it’s not just a gender thing.At work,people pretty much know what they’re supposed to be doing:working,making money,doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income.The bargain is very pure:Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola.On the home front,however,people have no such clarity.Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out.There are a lot of tasks to be done,there are inadequate rewards for most of them.Your home colleagues—your family—have no clear rewards for their labor;they need to be talked into it,or if they’re teenagers,threatened with complete removal of all electronic devices.Plus,they’re your family.You cannot fire your family.You never really get to go home from home.So it’s not surprising that people are more stressed at home.Not only are the tasks apparently infinite,the co-workers are much harder to motivate.
According to Paragraph 1,most previous surveys found that home_____

A.was an unrealistic place for relaxation
B.generated more stress than the workplace
C.was an ideal place for stress measurement
D.offered greater relaxation than the workplace

Home Schooling
All children in the United States have to receive an education,but the law does not say they have to be educated at school. A number of parents prefer not to send their children to school.
______(46)There are about 300,000 home-schoolers in the United States today.Some parents prefer teaching their children at home because they do not believe that public schools teach the correct religious values;others believe they can provide a better educational experience for their children by teaching them at home.______(47)
David Guterson and his wife teach their three children at home.Guterson says that his children learn very differently from children in school.______(48)For example,when there is heavy snowfall on a winter day,it may start a discussion or reading about climate,snow removal （去除）equipment , Alaska , polar bears（北极熊）,and winter tourism. A spring evening when the family is out watching the stars is a good time to ask questions about satellites and the space program.______（49)
Home schooling is often more interesting than regular schools,but critics say that home-schoolers are outsiders who might be uncomfortable mixing with other people in adult life. ______(50)However,most parents don't have the time or the desire to teach their children at home,so schools will continue to be where most children get their formal education.

______(49)
A: Interestingly,results show that home-schooled children quite often do better than average on national tests in reading and math.
B: Critics also say that most parents are not well qualified to teach their children.
C: Learning starts with the children's interests and questions.
D: Children who are educated at home are known as“home-schoolers.”
E: In some countries,however,children are educated by their parents.
F: If the Brazilian rain forests are on the TV news,it could be a perfect time to talk about how rain forests influence the climate,and how deserts are formed.

Breakfast

Studies show that children who eat breakfast do better in school.It doesn't take much
further thought to believe that adults will feel better and perform better at work as well.
Whether you work at home,on the farm,at the office,at school,or on the road,it is not
a good idea to skip（故意略去）breakfast.
If we don't eat breakfast,we are likely to become tired when our brains and bodies run
low on fuel.By mid-morning,a lot of us grab a cup of coffee,or wolf down a sugary candy
bar to wake up again.This might work for a few minutes,but by lunchtime we are hungry,
bad-tempered,and perhaps our mood might make us a little more likely to make unhealthy
choices at lunch.Eating a good breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day.
People who eat breakfast are generally more likely to maintain a healthy weight.Many
people believe that they will lose weight if they skip meals,but that isn't a good idea.The
body expects to be refueled a few times a day,so start with a healthy breakfast.
A healthy breakfast should contain some protein（蛋白质）and some fiber（纤维）.
Protein can come from meat , eggs , beans , or soy（大豆）.Fiber can be found in whole
cereals（谷物）,grains or in fruits. A good example of a healthy breakfast might be
something simplelike a hard boiled egg,an orange,and a bowl of whole grain cereal with
soy milk.

Adults who eat breakfast will perform better at work.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned

Text 1 A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys,people are actually more stressed at home than at work.Researchers measured people’s cortisol,which is a stress marker,while they were at work and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge.“Further contradicting conventional wisdom,we found that women as well as men have lower levels of stress at work than at home”,writes one of the researchers,Sarah Damske.In fact women even say they feel better at work,she notes.“It is men,not women,who report being happier at home than at work.”Another surprise is that findings hold true for both those with children and without,but more so for nonparents.This is why people who work outside the home have better health.What the study doesn’t measure is whether people are still doing work when they’re at home,whether it is household work or work brought home from the office.For many men,the end of the workday is a time to kick back.For women who stay home,they never get to leave the office.And for women who work outside the home,they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks.With the blurring of roles,and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace in making adjustments for working women,it’s not surprising that women are more stressed at home.But it’s not just a gender thing.At work,people pretty much know what they’re supposed to be doing:working,making money,doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income.The bargain is very pure:Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola.On the home front,however,people have no such clarity.Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out.There are a lot of tasks to be done,there are inadequate rewards for most of them.Your home colleagues—your family—have no clear rewards for their labor;they need to be talked into it,or if they’re teenagers,threatened with complete removal of all electronic devices.Plus,they’re your family.You cannot fire your family.You never really get to go home from home.So it’s not surprising that people are more stressed at home.Not only are the tasks apparently infinite,the co-workers are much harder to motivate.

The results of the test show that．

A.breakfast has great effect on work and studies
B.breakfast has little to do with a person’s work
C.a person will work better if he has simple breakfast
D.those working with brains should have much for breakfast

Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one life’s essentials.Eating breakfast at the start of the day,we have all been told,and told again,is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.
But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure.So despite all the efforts,they still take no breakfast.Between 1977 and 1983,the latest year for which figures are available,the number of people who didn’t have breakfast,increased by 33 percent.
For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast,however,there is some good news.Several studies in the last few years indicate that,for adults especially,there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast.“Going without breakfast does not affect performance,”said Arrold E.Bender,former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London,“nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”
Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate,and most of the recent work involves children,not adults,“The literature”,says one researcher,Dr.Erresto at the University of Texas,“is poor”.
The latest year for which figures could be obtained is_______.

A.the year the author wrote the article
B.1977
C.any year between 1997 and 1983
D.1983
