When your teenager is about to take important exams, you may feel as though you're living with a stranger.   71  So what can you really do to help?

Trust your teenager

First off, though it may seem easier said than done, trust your teenagers. Their study skills might differ from your own and it might be attractive to offer advice, or suggest additional hours slaving away under the lamp, but try to bite your tongue.  72  Turning revision into even more of a bore than it already is won't help your child's state of mind.

Let them relax — within reason

Relaxing is a key part of the revision process. Though going out every night isn’t to be recommended, do recognise that your teenager needs some time out. Keep a copy of the exam timetable and your child's revision timetable in a family area - maybe pinned to the kitchen wall — so that you know when your child is planning to go out and what work he or she will have done before then.  73  

 74

Ensure that you and your child share realistic targets — both small-scale, in terms of what they plan to revise every day, and long-term, for example what grades they hope to achieve. Unrealistic expectations will add to the stress in the household - and are sure to end in disappointment.

Don’t ask too many questions — but be supportive.

When you know your child is feeling the stress of exams, it's natural for you to ask about what in particular is causing the worry.  75  It will be enough if you remind your teenager that you’re happy to listen to them if they want to talk something through. Don't be angry if they choose to offload on to a sympathetic friend of the family or a teacher rather than chatting to you — sometimes it's easier to talk to someone who is a little further removed from the situation.

A. Be realistic.

B. Be confident.

C. Your child is only too well aware of how important these exams are.

D. Even students who don’t have a private study area remain organized.

E. But remember that too many questions will get interpreted as “complaining”!

F. For the parents of a teenager, it's difficult to do anything right at the best of times.

G. Scheduled free time gives your teenager something to look forward to once they’ve got through the day’s work..

What will man be like in the future — in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.

Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively a short period of time, so we may suppose that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity(容量). As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and finally we shall need our brains more and more, and finally we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.

Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.

On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.

But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.

Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and motions similar to our own.

1.The passage mainly tells us that __________.

A.Man’s life will be different in the future

B.Future man will look quite different from us

C.Man is growing taller and uglier as time passes

D.Man’s organs’ functions will change

2.What serves as the evidence that man is changing?

A.Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.

B.Man’s hair is getting thinner and thinner.

C.Man’s arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.

D.Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.

3.The change in man’s size of the forehead is probably because __________.

A.he makes use of only 20% of the brain’s capacity

B.his brain has grown larger over the past centuries

C.he will use his brain more and more as time goes on

D.the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time

4.Which of the following is TRUE about a human being in the future?

A.He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.

B.He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.

C.His fingers grow weaker because he doesn’t have to make use of them.

D.He thinks and feels in a different way.

5.It is implied that __________.

A.human beings will become less attractive in the future

B.body organs will become poorer if they are not used often

C.human beings hope for a change in the future life

D.future life is always predictable

The passengers on the subway who caught a glimpse of me may have thought I was strange. In particular a gentleman sitting opposite me was always staring at me, looking at the cheese bread on the floor in front of me and then staring back at me. A passenger probably dropped it by mistake and got off at a previous stop, but the gentleman might not think so. “Next stop, St. Patrick Station” — my stop was quickly coming up. I had a few minutes to either take the cheese bread, which nobody else was claiming, or leave it there.

In those few minutes I felt my pride getting in the way. “What would others on the subway think of me if I took the cheese bread? Would they think that I was poor and hungry? Would they think that I was stealing?” The ignorant thing to do was say “yes” to any of those self-imposed questions. Actually, they were just my own thoughts. Though I would leave the subway, walk a block to my office, get settled at my desk, and sit comfortably in my office for the whole day, I couldn’t get rid of the enormous sense of guilt and regret.

My thoughts once pushed me towards pride and ignorance, but finally I had to admit I was wrong. This missing cheese bread could be a gift for a homeless person who suffered from cold and hunger. So why not overcome a little bit of my pride and pass along so much kindness?

Just as the doors opened at my stop, I grabbed the cheese bread and left the subway. It felt awesome, but I didn’t care if people were looking at me or what they were thinking. Instead of going directly to my office as usual, I walked a few more blocks up to Queen’s park, where I often saw a homeless man sitting outside. I always wanted to give him something, but only today I walked toward him, who wrapped himself in a sleeping bag. I was full of satisfaction, and so did the homeless man, I thought.

1.The gentleman kept staring at the author because _______.

A.he wanted to talk to the author

B.he might think the author dropped the bread

C.the author appeared too nervous

D.the author was going to get off

2.The underlined word “self-imposed” in paragraph 2 probably means “_______”.

A.easily obtained

B.strongly supported

C.purposely created

D.completely unaccepted

3.Why did the author grab the cheese bread when he got off?

A.He noticed that no one was looking at him.

B.He didn’t want to see the cheese bread to go to waste.

C.He remembered a homeless man at that very moment.

D.He valued kindness more than his own pride.
