Fifteen years ago, Crystal Wang’s father took a photo of her in the arms of a Harvard University police officer Charles Marren during a campus visit. It turns out that the photo was prophetic. Wang is now a member of Harvard’s Class of 2023. So, of course, she had to recreate the original image with Officer Charles Marren during move-in. Sure, Wang, now 18, looks a lot different. But Marren? He hasn’t aged a day. Wang had just turned 3 years old when her father, Jin, took the original photo while in the area for a business trip.

Her dad told her she should try and see if Marren still worked there, but not even knowing his name at the time, Wang was not sure. She pushed the idea to the back of her mind. But destiny had other plans. When she posted the original photo on Instagram announcing her college decision, a reporter working for the Harvard Gazette saw it and recognized Marren. She got in touch and set a date for the two to meet again. When the two reunited, Wang said the connection was true.

I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval , he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way. Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting frustrated, but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up. Could he be more absorbed while standing up? This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the willpower to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life. Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality qualities, and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids’ best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their way. I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids’ ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesn’t mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being personal and unique . It makes us free and happy and that’s just the way I want my kids to live their own life. 【1】Why did the author get his son seated again and again? A.To make him work fast. B.To make him go polite. C.To make him stay relaxed. D.To make him keep attentive. 【2】Inspired by the case of his son, what did the author begin to doubt? A.The importance of parents. B.The old form of education. C.The relationship between kids and their parents. D.The good grades of some kids. 【3】What does the author attempt to tell other parents to do? A.To correct their kids’ manners from the early ages. B.To respect and trust their kids’ ways of behavior. C.To develop a good relationship with their children. D.To guarantee their children’s freedom at home. 【4】Why has the author stopped asking his son to sit down? A.Because he has changed his traditional ideas. B.Because his son wants to be unique. C.Because his son doesn’t follow his advice. D.Because his son’s DNA is different. 【5】Which of the following would be the best title of the passage? A.Parental help with teens’ study B.Adult influence on teen growth C.Kids’ success in their own styles D.Friendship between generations |

In the past 50 years, the amount of water in the open ocean with zero oxygen has increased more than four times. In coastal water bodies, including the river mouth and seas, low-oxygen sites have increased more than 10 times since 1950. Scientists expect oxygen to continue dropping even outside these zones as the Earth warms. To stop the decline, the world needs to control in both climate change and nutrient pollution. Oxygen is a must to life in the oceans. The drop in ocean oxygen is among the most serious effects of human activities on the Earth’s environment. This is the first time for the scientists to take such a deep look at the causes, consequences and solutions to low oxygen worldwide, in both the open ocean and in coastal waters. About half of the oxygen on the Earth comes from the ocean. However, combined effects of nutrient loading and climate change are greatly increasing the number and size of “dead zones”in the open ocean and coastal waters, where oxygen is too low to support most sea life. In areas traditionally called “dead zones”, like those in Chesapeake Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, oxygen drops to levels so low that many animals have trouble in breathing and die. As fish run away from these zones, their living areas become smaller and smaller. But the problem goes far beyond “dead zones”. Even smaller oxygen drops can hold up the growth in animals, reproduction and lead to disease or even death. Low oxygen also can cause the release of dangerous chemicals. While some animals can thrive in dead zones, overall biodiversity falls. 【1】What does the underlined word “decline” mean ? A.Increase. B.Drop. C.Keep. D.Double. 【2】How much oxygen on the Earth comes from the ocean? A.10%. B.25%. C.40%. D.50%. 【3】Why are these waters called “dead zones”? A.The oxygen in these areas is too low for the animals to live. B.Ships are easy to break down and sink in these areas. C.There are no animals living in these areas. D.Many people died in these areas. 【4】Which of the following statements is TRUE? A.All animals living in the sea need oxygen. B.Climate change can help cut down the dead zone. C.Fish grow faster and better in low oxygen area. D.Human activities have many bad effects on environment. 【5】What is the main idea of this passage? A.Dead zone in water is becoming larger. B.Oxygen in water is necessary for sea animals. C.The drop in ocean oxygen causes bad effects. D.Low oxygen can cause the release of dangerous gas. |
