A
Kids will often ignore your requests for them to shut off the TV, start, their chores（杂事）,or do their homework as a way to avoid following your directions．Before you know it, you've started to " sound like a broken record as you repeatedly ask them to do their assignments, clean their room, or take out the rubbish．Rather than saying "Do your chores now．" you'll be more effective if you set a target time for when the chores have to be completed．So instead of arguing about starting chores, just say, "If chores aren't done by 4 pm, here are the consequences．" Then it's up to your child to complete the chores．Put the ball back in their court．Don't argue or fight with them, just say," That's the way it's going to be．" It shouldn't be punitive（征罚性的）as much as it should be persuasive．"If your chores aren't done by 4 pm, then no video game time until chores are done．And if finishing those chores runs into homework time, that's going to be your loss．" On the Other hand, when dealing with homework, keep it very simple．Have a time when homework Starts, and at that time , all electronics go off and do not go back on until you see that their homework is done．If your kids say they have no homework, then they should use that time to study or read．Either way, there should be a time set aside when the electronics are off．
When a kid wears his iPod or headphones when you're trying to talk to him, make no bones about it; he is not ignoring you, he is disrespecting you．At that point, everything else should stop until he takes the earplugs out of his ears．Don't try to communicate with him when he's wearing headphones—even if he tells you he can hear you．Wearing them while you're talking to him is a sign of disrespect．Parents should be very tough about this kind of thing．Remember, respect becomes more important as children mature．
56．According to the passage, it seldom happens that__．
A．kids turn a deaf ear to their parents' requests
B．parents' directions sound like a broken record
C．children are ready to follow their parents' directions
D．parents are unaware of what they are repeating to their kids
57．Parents will be able to deal with their children more effectively if they__．
A．avoid direct ways of punishment
B．make them do things at their request
C．argue and fight with their children
D．allow their children to behave in their own way
58．It can be inferred from the passage that _____．
A．parents should take．off his headphones when trying to have a talk with their child
B．it will make no difference that a kid is wearing his earplugs while talking to his parents
C．parents shouldn't give in to their kid when he shows no sign of respect
D．kids' purposely talking to their parents with iPod gives them a sense ofpowel and control
59．The main idea of the passage is___．
A．that respecting each other is more important than anything else
B．how kids behave to ignore and disrespect their parents
C．that children should make choices and decisions on their own
D．how parents can deal with their kids' behavior effectively
B
What would you do if you were lost in the dark forest at night? The first, sensible lesson is that you shouldn't bother trying to find your way in the dark at all, but just stay out until dawn．Because then you won't trip over things? No, mainly because you'll have an idea of direction．The sun rises in the east．But you will'be amazed at how many people forget they know that．Apparently, the area underneath a holly bush provides a good makeshift shelter—they are thick, and evergreen．The next thing to do—or rather not to do—is panic, for the obvious reason that unless there is someone there to hear you scream, it will get you nowhere．Just try to think of nice, happy things．
There is always a point in films when a person who is lost in the desert or the snow, dehydrated （脱水的）and exhausted, comes across a set of their own footprints and realizes they have just walked in a huge, round circle．It is wrong to owe it to the unequal strengths or different lengths of your legs．
Experiments prove that, without the sun or the moon（or landmarks） as a fixed guide, lots of small errors add up over time so the brain can't correctly identify the "straight ahead" direction．To just get out of somewhere, pick a spot on the horizon and just head for it．
There are several ways to find directions in the dark, and by far the best is to establish north using the stars．Most people can identify the Plough, which is part of Ursa Major．It looks a lot like a pan．
The Plough rotates （旋转） through the sky, but let's imagine the pan lying horizontally, with its handle on the left．You need to trace a line from the star at the right-hand base of the pan through the star at the right-hand rim （边沿）, and follow it upwards; the North Star is roughly five times the distance between those two 'pointer" stars．Then drop a vertical line from the North Star to the horizon and that's north．
"Tonight is very cloudy and I can't see the Plough．" Maybe luckily, it is quite windy．Keep in mind that almost all of our weather comes from a south-westernly direction．（This only works if you are in the British Isles．） To find．．the direction, you can throw light bits of dried-out grass in the air and see which way they blow; or, if there are clouds and patches ofclear sky, see which way they blow across the stars．You can also get an idea of direction from leggy plants．If they look as if they have been blown over, they will probably be pointing north-east．If they are simply leaning in one direction as they grow, there's a good chance that it is south （they will be reaching towards the sun）．
The last thing to do is to judge your direction and off you go．
60．What might be the best title of the passage?
A．What to do if you are lost B．How to protect yourself in the forest
C．How to survive in the forest D．How to direct your way out of the wild
61．Which of the following pictures matches the description of the position of the North Star?

62．Why will people often walk in a circle if they are lost in the desert or the snow?
A．Because without anything to refer to for directions, the brain will be confused, by err
