When I got the driving license last summer, Mom and I took our first trip around an empty parking lot. Then I found that my mother was not the best teacher for me. It wasn't that she shouted, or told me that I was doing poorly. As you can imagine, my mother's "helpful instructions" only managed to make me more nervous. Since I could no longer practice with her, the job was placed in the hands of my father. The idea of learning from Dad was not one that thrilled me. I loved him dearly, but I just did not see Dad as someone I could be comfortable learning from. He almost never talked. We shared a typical father-daughter relationship. He'd ask how school was, and I'd say it was fine. Unfortunately, that was the most of our conversations. Spending hours alone with someone who might as well have been a stranger really scared me. As we got into the car that first time, I was not surprised at what happened. Dad and I drove around, saying almost nothing, aside from a few instructions on how to turn. As my lessons went on, however, things began to change. Dad would turn the radio up so I could fully appreciate his favorite Stones music. And he actually began talking. I was soon hearing about past failed dates, "basic body" gym class, and other tales from his past, including some of his first meeting with Mom. Dad’s sudden chattiness was shocking until I thought about why he was telling me so much in the car. In all the years that I had wondered why my father never spoke that much, I had never stopped to consider that it was because I had never bothered to listen. Homework, friends, and even TV had all called me away from him, and, consequently, I never thought my quiet father had anything to say. Since I began driving with him, my driving skill has greatly increased. More important, though, is that my knowledge of who my father is has also increased. Just living with him wasn't enough— it took driving with him for me to get to know someone who was a mystery. 4. The author couldn't practice driving with her mother because . A. she couldn't talk with her mother B. her mother made her nervous C. her father wanted to teach her D. she didn't trust her mother 5. At first, the idea of learning driving from her father made her . A. happy B. disappointed C. satisfied D. uneasy 6. What surprised the author when the driving lessons went on? A. Her Dad was a chatty person. B. Her Dad was the best teacher. C. Her Dad liked modern music. D. Her Dad told her his sad stories. 7. With her story "Car Talk", the author indicates that . A. fathers love their daughters dearly B. family members need real communication C. mothers are less patient than fathers D. it takes time to improve the father-daughter relationship

The increasing demand of newer resources has creating the need for experts and researchers who can find better ways to deal with the ongoing needs. In addition, in order to meet the increasing demands of environment-friendly equipment, both green product designer and educated and trained workers are needed. Management of environmental organizations also demands a large number of environmental managers. Where can you find green-collar jobs? Internet is undoubtedly the best way to find information on almost any matter. Nowadays, different kinds of jobs are being posted online. Search through a couple of job websites to look for a bright future in energy conversion and recycling of waste management. Check regularly and find the right work for yourself.

Boys’ schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music． Far from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity(男子气概)，the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to be consistent to a stereotype(传统观念)，a US study says． Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their abilities to express their emotions，rather than feeling they had to obey the“boy code”of hiding their emotions to be a “real man”． The findings of the study are against the received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls． Tony Little，headmaster of Eton，warned that boys were being ignored by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls．He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls． The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills． But in single-sex schools teachers can adjust lessons to boys’ learning style，letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom，wrote the author of the study,Abigail James of the University of Virginia． Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with “boy-focused” approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them．Because boys generally have sharper vision，learn best through touch, and are physically more active，they need to be given “hands-on”lessons where they are allowed to walk around．“Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine(女性的)and prefer the modern type in which violence and sexism are major themes.” James wrote． Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to give in to a stereotype that men should be “masterful and in charge” in relationships．“In mixed schools boys feel pressed to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means.” the study reported. 12．The author believes that a single-sex school would ． A.force boys to hide their emotions to be “real men” B.help to form masculine aggressiveness in boys C.encourage boys to express their emotions more freely D.naturally place emphasis on the traditional image of a man to boys 13．It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys ． A.perform better B.grow up more healthily C.behave more responsibly D.receive a better education 14．What does Tony Little say about the British education system? A.It fails more boys than girls academically． B.It focuses more on mixed school education． C.It fails to give boys the attention they need． D.It places more pressure on boys than on girls． 15．According to Abigail James，one of the advantages of single-sex schools is ． A. teaching can be designed to promote boys’ team spirit B.boys can focus on their lessons without being absent-minded C.boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in D. teaching can be adapted to suit the characteristics of boys

How successful leaders spent their teenage years I don’t think I have ever before been compared with Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, etc. 16 But for what it is worth, I’ll give you some traits that I think are common among most of these people. Reading Read a wide variety of books and articles that stretch your imagination. Don’t just read easy books (like Harry Potter). 17 Those difficult texts can really stretch your mind. Because most of the people mentioned grew up in a different era, they spent a big portion of their time just reading the encyclopedia. Many of them would eventually read every encyclopedia volume letter. These people had a strong need to learn new things. Play-acting At an early age, most of these people spent more time play-acting than others. Very few of these people spent their time playing organized sports---they instead were in their bedroom, backyard, or nearby park playing by themselves. 18 Experimenting It is amazing how many successful people lit things on fire, blew things up, caught and studied bugs, built bird nests, and more. 19 And they were the ones in charge of the experiment. Creating vs. Consuming Watching wonderful movies, listening to music, etc. are all great ways to spend time. 20 Most of these successful people spent a large percentage of their time creating. They were building things, starting things, etc. This is really important. A. Read things that challenge your thought. B. Today it is harder to spend time creating. C. They were letting their imagination run wild. D. They were building, creating, viewing, and observing. E. But they are passive ---- these are consuming functions. F. Most of these people had parents that asked them to read less. G. I am nowhere near as successful as most of the people on this list.
