24、   For many of us, the idea of a family is a lot narrower（更狭小） than it used to be. Today children go away to college, and take up jobs wherever chances seem greatest. So instead of growing up in a family with grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, many of us are truly connected only to our parents and brothers. Many kids today know little of the lives of their relatives and don’t care deeply about them. Whether we realize it or not, this feeling of being disconnected makes people feel a kind of lonely. “People need to feel connected,” says Joy Browne, a doctor in the US.” And they will do it in the easiest ways. When family members aren’t connected, what could be easier than forming a connection to famous people?

This isn’t something unusual, of course.  People cried when Mei Yanfang died in 2003. It’s natural and in most ways harmless to feel that way. But that’s unhealthy, because these relationships aren’t two-way. For that, we need to stay connected to our own families. We’ll never turn back the clock to keep families from breaking. But parents can help by telling their children stories about their grandparents, aunts and cousins, and by telling them the children’s latest activities and interests. We can use technology to keep connected with each other. It’s easy to send e-mails to granddad. Better yet, take a vacation with members of your relatives-not with any other person. A week or so of relaxing vacation can be a great way to tie up family ties. And when a bad thing happens, no one can be as helpful as your relatives. Because no matter how much we cry for the famous people, they can’t be there to cry for us.

根据短文内容，判断下列句子的正（T）误（F）。

【1】The writer seems to tell us the feeling of love should be two-way.

【2】People should love famous people better than they love their relatives.

【3】The writer thinks that we can’t use technology to keep connected with each other.

【4】The reason why people feel lonely is that family member aren’t connected as before.

【5】The writer writes this passage to advise families to keep closely connected.

25、For as long as we can remember, one of the most popular ways parents use to punish their children has been the “time out”.

It seems that it is a good idea: the child sits on his own to reflect on what he has done. Then, when the time is up, he will apologize and learn from the mistake.

However, just because it’s something that’s been done for years, that doesn’t mean it is the right thing to do. In fact, very often, children don’t sit nicely and think about what they’ve done. Instead, they need to be told a few (or many) times to go back to their places and stay quiet. They’re not reflecting on why they are in the “time out” at all. More likely than not, they’re probably just really angry, and so are the parents. In the end, both the parents and the children make each other unhappy, or even angry.

What can parents do to change this situation? You may have already heard of things like peaceful parenting and gentle parenting. These focus on the relationship between parent and child through building trust and love. So, instead of starting a “time out”, try something called “time in”. A “time in” needs both parent and child to stay close until both get calm. After that, the parent and child can discuss what happened and solve the problem together. If the child can make changes, everyone can then move on.

As we all know, punishment and violence seldom work and will never teach the children what the right way to act is. A “time in” can be the great time for the children to learn through mistakes. Kids learn how to build their emotional and social skills through difficult situations. So, instead of punishing them for acting their age, we can use chances to teach and guide them to a place of learning.

A “time in” may take more time, but it does work.

【1】During a “time out”, a child is told to ________.

A．stay outside

B．sit alone and reflect

C．make a promise

D．return to school

【2】In the writer’s opinion, a “time out” ________.

A．doesn’t always work

B．is becoming more popular

C．should be parents’ first choice

D．takes too much time

【3】When a child has done something wrong, the writer suggests that ________.

A．both teachers and parents discuss how to solve the problem

B．the child stays at home and reflects until he never makes mistakes

C．the child says sorry to his or her parents and learns from mistakes

D．parents try something called “time in”instead of “time out”

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A．“Time out” or “time in”?

B．Learn from mistakes!

C．Why not “time in”?

D．No violence at home!

26、The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th of the first month of the lunar calendar. This day is always the first full moon in the new year, Ancient people also called it Shangyuan Festival. Celebrations and traditions on this day began from the Han Dynasty and became popular in the Tang Dynasty.
