Passage 1

Stop Yelling At Your Kids

Parenting is hard. If you’re a parent, I’m sure that I don’t need to tell you that our job is a tough one. When you're managing children, it can be difficult to remember that they are still learning. If you find yourself yelling at your kids more often than you want to, here are some ways that can help you reduce the yelling. I’ve been working on this for the past few months and I have to say， it’s been amazing for both the kids and me.

If you are having an argument with your child, you need to make sure you both take the time to really listen. It gives both of you time to think and really listen to each other, which is important. Kids are more likely to listen to you if you listen to them!

One of your biggest struggles is to remind yourself of appropriate expectations. You can’t expect that your youngest acts as responsibly as your oldest. You should lower what you expect -taking into consideration things like their age - it can make a big difference. You should do your best to take a moment before yelling and take in a deep breath. It makes a world of difference for you. Instead of yelling, you’d better whisper. It can also help diffuse any situation by making things quieter, not louder. Besides, the more time you spend with your kids, the better you’ll get at communicating with them. You’re both more likely to understand each other.

If your children aren’t listening or it seems they only don’t listen to you, you don’t take it personally. You should remind yourself that your kids are still learning and they’re not going to be perfect.

（ F ）21. As a parent, you may know that parenting is an easy job.

（ T ）22. Listening to each other is a good way to stop argument between parents and their kids.

（ T ）23. Usually younger kids behave less responsibly than elder children.

（ F ）24. Parents should lower their expectation for their kids.

（ F ）25. Both yelling and whispering can help make things quieter.

Foodie

Keeping your pet’s diet healthy and nutritious （有营养的） is very important at any stage of their life, but as they become old they need a different set of vitamins and minerals.

Gym membership

Although they may seem tired and slow for outdoor activities, this doesn’t mean they shouldn't keep exercise anymore. You don’t have to drag them on a 10-mile uphill hike, but encourage your pet to get out into the fresh air.the sights and smells should inspire their natural urge to trot about and explore again. If they’re lazy, try small indoor games and toys that will keep their mind active.

Fit not fat

If you’re feeding your pet healthy foods in appropriate sized portions （分量） and making sure they’re getting enough exercise, you shouldn’t have an overweight friend at your side.

Older pets should be taken to the vet at least once every six months. On your next visit, ask your vet what common issues usually affect their particular breed （种类） such as arthritis （关节炎） or diabetes （肥胖症）. You can then be more careful when taking care of them.

Passage 2

I want to translate the Web into every major language: every webpage, every video, and, yes， even Justin Bieber' s tweets.

Nowadays, most of the Web is inaccessible （不能接触的） to most people in the world because its content splits up into hundreds of languages with over 50% of it in English. this problem is pressing, now more than ever, with millions of people from China, Russia, Latin America and other quickly developing regions entering the Web.

There are certainly systems (like Google translate) that are improving every day at translating the gist of things written in other languages than English. Unfortunately, they are not yet accurate enough: even when what they spit out is intelligible （智能的），it’s so badly written that people can't read more than a few lines before getting a headache.

This is why a new project called Duo lingo is introduced here. Duo lingo aims at breaking the language barrier, and thus making the Web truly “world wide.”

The idea behind Duo lingo is to kill two birds with one stone by solving both of these problems simultaneously. It is accomplished by transforming language translation into something that anyone can do 一 not just bilinguals 一 and that millions of people want to do: learning a foreign language. It is estimated that over one billion people worldwide are learning a foreign language, with millions doing so using computer programs.

With Duo lingo, people learn and translate a foreign language at the same time. When you learn on Duo lingo, the website gives you exercises set specifically for you that teach you every aspect of the new language. You may be asked to translate a sentence, to pronounce or listen to a phrase, or to describe what you see in an image. In this way, Duo lingo produces translations that are as accurate as those from professional language translators.

26. What does the author want to do？ .

A. Business communication.

B. Online Translation.

C. Door-to-door sales.

27. According to the article, most people in the world can’t receive most of the information on the Web due to the problem of .

A. different languages

B. social conflicts

C. governmental disagreement

28. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a problem of many translating systems? .

A. They are not accurate enough.

B. They don’t work every day.

C. The translations are badly written.

29. to kill two birds with one stone means to .

A. Spend time and moneymaking success

B. Do things without conside1ing its results

C. Solve both problems with only one move

30. What can you be asked to do to while using Duo lingo? .

A. To the product with others

B. To pay for the exercises you learn

C. To describe the image that you see
