showy possessions, but you are surrounded by surprising consumption(消費). this contrast is beginning to bother your 6-year-old son. you are worried that he will want to live as they do, and wonder if you should move.sometimes big pocket money, joyful birthday parties, special playrooms and super-big houses tell you that your neighbors probably have more money than you do, and that theyre not as careful as you are with money, but you may find that they cook and dig in the garden with their children just as often as you do, talk with them as freely and read to them every night.or you may find that some of these parents stay in one wing of their big house while their child plays by himself, way off in a wing of his own. in that unfortunate case, he is basically growing up alone without being looked after properly, but this can happen to a child who lives in a normal-size house, too, if he has a tv, a computer and a few video games in his room. even the most caring parent doesnt walk in and out of it to see what show her child is watching, what internet site he has found and if hes still playing that video game.too much uncontrolled screen time may lead to a certain loss of innocence(天真),but mostly this child will lose the sense of unity and satisfaction, and if it doesnt , you might decide to move. dont judge your neighborhood too harshly(嚴厲地)，though. there are some things that are right with almost any neighborhood and some things that are wrong with the best of themlike those super-big houses. the wealth of their ownersand the way they throw money aroundmay make your son feel sorry for himself, unless you help him understand that you and his dad save some of the money, give some to people who dont have enough and use the rest to pay for whatever the

3, the author seems to agree that parents should_.a. spend more time with their children b. give their children more freedomc. work hard to lead a richer life d. set an example for their children to follow23by saying “throw money around”(paragraph 4),the author means that rich people_.a. spend money carelessly b. save money for their childrenc. help the poor people willingly d. leave money all

reasons for hair loss in women. however, in most cases, treatment is quite effective. female hair loss patterns in women are not as easily recognizable as they are in men. a woman may experience it temporarily due to pregnancy or illness, although they may experience it for other reasons.hair loss can be due to a variety of factors, including a genetic tendency (which is not genetically linked to just one parentboth parents contribute to the tendency to lose hair).women who are experiencing hair problems seem to have more limited choices than men. there are some female hair loss treatments that are available such as the tricomin system which is a topical treatment that is nutrition based. shen min for women is another natural treatment that contains herbs ( 藥草) that are said to stimulate(刺激) hair growth and even restore hair that is graying to its natural color.the majority of the popular, proven hair loss treatments are only intended for men and are not suitable for women. true, a womans hair issue is different from a mans. the biological makeup is different and the needs are different. women have different needs and their bodies react in different ways to environmental changes, physical illness and even the treatments that are available. there are many natural treatments such as vitamin and mineral supplements that are said to stimulate hair growth, but, for the most part, these claims are currently unproven.one of the first and most important factors to effectively treating is to get a diagnosis from a doctor. talk to your doctor about any symptoms(癥狀) that you may be experiencing in addition to the thinning hair. stress, weight loss or gain, illness and depression, all of these can be contributing factors.28. it can be learned from the 1st paragraph that _.a. usually hair loss is hard to heal b. female hair loss is more common than the mensc. women tend to suffer from hair loss during the pregnant periodd. only illness contributes to hair loss29. which of the following statements matches the text about the two treatments?a. both are to solve the problem of male hair loss.b. tricomin system is effective in speeding the growth of the new hairc. shen min is an updated way of treating hair lossd. the former is nutrition-based, while the latter is medicine-based.30. the reasons for the differences between the female and male hair loss problems do not include _.a. the biological structure and composition of the hair b. the wants and needsc. the reactions and responses to the outside changes d. the approach to taking exercise31. the natural treatments _.a. include vitamin and mineral supplements b. are applied to keep the hair healthyc. have been proved useful d. are the most commonly-used waysdit is widely known that any english conversation begins with the weather. such a fixation with the weather finds expression in dr.johnsons famous comment that “when two english meet, their first talk is of weather.” though johnsons observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, most commentators(評論員) fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this english weather-speak.bill bryson, for example, concludes that, as the english weather is not at all exciting, the obsession with it can hardly be understood. he argues that to an outsider, the most striking thing about the english weather is that there is not very much of it.” simply, the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the british isles.jeremy paxman, however, disagrees with bryson, arguing that the english weather is by nature attractive. bryson is wrong, he says, “because the english preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena(現(xiàn)象).”the interest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty.” according to him, the weather in england is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the english as well as the outsider.bryson and paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather-speak among the english. both commentators, somehow, are missing the point. the english weather conversation is not really about the weather at all. english weather-speak is a system of signs, which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other. everyone knows conversations starting with weather-speak are not requests for weather data. rather, they are routine greetings, conversation starters or the blank “fillers”. in other words, english weather-speak is a means of social bonding.32.the author mentions dr. johnsons comment to show that_.a. most commentators agree with dr. johnson b. dr.johnson is famous for his weather observationc. the comment was accurate two hundred years agod. english conversations usually start with the weather33. what does the underlined word”obsession” most probably refer to?a.a social trend. b.an emotional state. c.a historical concept. d.an unknown phenomenon.34.according to the passage, jeremy paxman believes that_.a.bill bryson has little knowledge of the weatherb.there is nothing special about the english weatherc.the english weather attracts people to the british islesd.english people talk about the weather for its unccrtainty35.what is the authors main purpose of writing the passage?a.to explain what english weather-speak is about.b.to analyse misconceptions about the english weather.c.to find fault with both bill bryson and jeremy paxman.d.to convince people that the english weather is changeable.第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）

mind. 36 many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. these people have little motivation once they arrive home. laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to procrastinate(拖延). by adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from project to project. others take a more proactive approach, viewing each project or task as a challenge they must overcome alone. 37 some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(誘惑) that surround them. a television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much tv often promotes laziness. create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child to promote responsibility. complete a certain number of chores and reward yourself with a good dinner. 38 39 spouse(配偶) and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not addressed quickly. to fight household laziness, lead by example. be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own chores. it is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people. 40 enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help boost your mood.a. knowing how to fight laziness is important.b. one way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.c. laziness can also be a lasting problem at home.d. if you have a hobby, celebrate after completing a project.e. finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.f. with strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.g. laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.第三部分
