21、Tips for Traveling with Your Parents

Many of us have fond memories of traveling with our parents as children,which makes going on vacation with them as adults much more special.【1】But depending on your parents'age,health, and preferences,going away together can also bring challenges.here are ups to help make sure everyone has a good time.

Find a point person.

Build in options.

【3】Being aware of each traveler's fitness and activity level is crucial in designing a route.For example,start with a slow-paced activity that everyone can enjoy such as wine tasting，and have more-energetic activities,like hiking.【4】

Consider buying insurance.

Emergencies--such as a missed flight or lost luggage--can happen at any age,so it's wise to invest in travel insurance.Many policies cover medical emergencies as well as everyday travel mishaps(小事故).【5】Some insurance supplements even arrange air medical transfers to the traveler's hospital of choice.

22、Generally speaking, respect is something that is earned. One earns another' s respect by voluntarily doing things like taking that person's feelings, needs and thoughts into consideration.

Respect seems to be like a boomerang in the sense that you must send it out before it will come back to you. Respect cannot be demanded or forced, though sometimes people mistakenly believe that it can, as discussed below.

Since a baby has no concept of respect, and feels only its own needs when it is first born, it seems the only successful way to teach a child what respect is, is to earn the respect of the child as they slowly grow into a thinking human being.

The way this is done is first of all by attending to the child's natural needs, such as to be fed and nurtured (养育). As the child grows, his needs change. His psychological needs have increasingly advanced. He begins to express his own views, his own preferences, and he has an increasing need for freedom, autonomy and independence. This is when the adults in his life can treat him with increasing respect and thereby earn his respect in return.

It doesn't make sense to think of respecting a baby in the same way that we say we respect an adult. Yet on some level the two concepts are similar. This similarity has to do with our voluntarily helping that person with their needs. In either case, we must first accept the needs. For example, if a baby needs to be fed at three in the morning we don't do it reluctantly if we respect his natural needs; we simply accept that the infant has a natural need to eat at that particular moment. Likewise, if an adolescent or an adult needs to talk, we accept this need and we show respect by listening voluntarily.

In the same way, when we are respected we gain the voluntary cooperation of people. We don't have to use as much of our energy and resources trying to get our needs met.

【1】What is a misunderstanding of respect?

A．It requires voluntary actions.

B．It needs much consideration.

C．It is based on people's needs.

D．It can be obtained forcefully.

【2】Why does the author mention “boomerang” in Paragraph 2?

A．To introduce a tool.

B．To clarify a concept.

C．To present a fact.

D．To make a prediction.

【3】How can we earn respect from our children?

A．By teaching them to respect.

B．By making them independent.

C．By treating them respectfully.

D．By talking to them voluntarily.

【4】What does this article mainly talk about?

A．How we could earn respect.

B．Why respect is important.

C．Who we show respect for.

D．What true respect means.

23、Think about the last time you felt afraid. Was it a fear of height? Did you oversleep on a weekday and fear you’d get into trouble at the office? In any case, you know what it feels like to feel fear.

But one woman doesn’t The woman, code-named “UM”, gave her first-ever interview after years of being studied by a team of researchers. The woman is given a code name because the researchers want to protect her from anyone who would take advantage of her inability to feel afraid.

UM can’t tell you what fear is because she’s never experienced it. “I wonder what it’s like to actually be afraid of something,” she said. The formal name for the disease is Urbach-Wieth disease, which is characterized by a hoarse(粗哑的)voice，small bumps around the eyes, and calcium deposits(钙沉积的)in the brain.

In the case of UM，the disease has transformed the part of her brain that controls the human response to fear. In the interview, UM talks about an event in her life where she was held at knifepoint and gunpoint, “I was walking to the store，and I saw a man on a park bench．He said. “Come here，please,” so I went over to him. He grabbed me by the shirt，put a knife to my throat and told me he was going to cut me. I told him,  “Go ahead and cut me,” I wasn’t afraid at all. And for some reason，he let me go.”

 Doctors who have been studying UM’s condition for years have been trying different things that could strike fear into her. They finally figured something out—increasing UM’s carbon dioxide levels．Extra carbon dioxide concentration in the blood is known to cause fear and panic in health individuals. Increasing UM’s carbon dioxide levels did manage to give her a fright．

【1】The text starts by_______．

A. challenging the reader

B. solving daily problems

C. listing situations

D. giving explanations

【2】Why is the woman with Urbach-Wieth disease given a code name?

A. To tell her case from other patients

B. To respect her privacy

C. To meet the researchers’ demands

D. To ensure her safety

【3】From UM’s case，we can know that Urbach-Wieth disease may________.

A. stop the brain from functioning normally

B. lead to a decrease in calcium deposits

C. stop the brain from responding quickly

D. lead to an increase in carbon dioxide

【4】What will probably happen to UM from the last paragraph?

A. Dying of the Urbach-Wieth disease．

B. Getting the sense of panic．

C. Experiencing another danger．

D. Speaking with a hoarse voice．

24、   Whether from the looks or their functions, some buildings of Europe are seen as strange landmarks and attract visitors from the world.

UFO Bridge(Bratislava, Slovakia)

The space-age silver disc, with a bar and a restaurant, studs opposite the ancient Bratislava Castle and offers splendid views of the Old Town's roofs. While UFO has never been an issue, the special capsule does have the ability to predict the weather, shining different colors each night lo let the city know whether it will be rainy, cloudy, sunny or windy the next day.

Happy Rizzi House(Brunswick, Germany)

A strange landmark is the Happy Rizzi House in Brunswick, Germany. Its bright and colorful cartoons and wonky(歪斜的) frame certainly stand out from the traditional buildings that surround the structure. Pop-artist James Rizzi, who built the house, intended the landmark to celebrate how children see the world and express themselves freely.

Crooked House(Sopot, Poland)

Looking at the contorted(歪曲的) building can feel like you have entered the house of mirrors or put on a pair of strange glasses. Inspired by Polish fairy tales, the structure is home to shops, restaurants and even a radio station.

Office Center 1000(Kaunas, Lithuania )

Novel and oversized cheques are one thing, but a massive banknote built into a ten-storey building is much more impressive and weird.

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.

Long Journey

The majority of the world’s clothes, bags and shoes are manufactured in Asia. But the region’s brands have made little headway in the West. Of the ten most valuable global apparel (服装) labels ranked by Millward Brown, a market-research firm, only Uniqlo is Asian. Li-Ning, one of China’s best-selling sportswear brands, tried to enter America in 2010. It opened a flagship store in Portland, Oregon and later launched an English-language online store. Both failed.

What makes the journey so hard? Adjusting to Western tastes takes time. Although Uniqlo became the largest Japanese apparel brand by selling US-style clothing, it still encountered cultural barriers in America itself. For example, vests (背心) are one of Uniqlo’s most popular products at home, but relatively few Americans and Europeans wear an additional layer beneath their shirts, says Dairo Murata, an analyst at JPMorgan Chase, a bank. It was only two years ago the firm also realized that XL was not big enough in America; it now duly provides XXXL.

Another problem, at least outside the big cities, is price. Uniqlo takes pride in the use of high-tech, comfortable fabrics (布料)，an attempt to differentiate itself from other basic clothing brands like Gap and Old Navy. But at Danbury Fair, a Connecticut shopping mall that is a barometer for retail trends in the suburbs, people prefer Primark, a super-cheap Irish retailer (零售商) which recently opened, to Uniqlo, which shut up shop in June. Mall visitors are conservative about fashion and about spending, explains F.K. Grunert, its manager.

What still seems to work better is concentrating on urban centres, even though that means a smaller potential market. This month Uniqlo opened a stand-alone store in Manhattan’s Soho; such shops tend to do well. In 2002 it had 21 stores in Britain, dotted around the north-west, Midlands and south-east; now eight of the ten it still has are in London.
