26、In some schools, structured character education is a part of the curriculum, right alongside reading, writing, and math. 【1】 .

The qualities of character develop through an interaction of family, school, and community influences and the child's individual personality, experiences, and choices. Parents have many opportunities and tools to build their children's character. 【2】

Be a role model

Parents who exhibit the qualities of good character powerfully transmit their values to their children. Imagine you are honest, trustworthy, fair, compassionate, respectful, and involved in the greater good of your family and community. 【3】 They will also see that this behavior brings a sense of joy, satisfactions, and peace to their family.

【4】

Children also need to learn that when they violate your family's guiding ethics, you will carry out consequences with fairness and dignity. Always take the opportunity to explain why your child's behavior is wrong when you correct him.

Make a habit of identifying in your own mind the value you wish to teach the child based on the particular behavior. Choose a consequence that is appropriate to teach that value.

Tell stories from literature and life

Parents and teachers used stories to teach moral lessons long before books were even invented. As you tell the stories of your life and the world around you, you convey lessons in values and ethics to your children.

When you listen and respond to your children's stories about school and peers, you can help them think through the right thing to do. 【5】 . These anecdotes(趣闻轶事) show your kids how your values guide all aspects of your life.

A．Provide opportunities to practice

B．Use teachable moments to build character

C．Your children will see this in your everyday actions and choices

D．Be mindful of your children listening to the stories you tell other adults

E．However, building character for kids can't just happen in the classroom

F．But hands-on experience is needed to know the true meaning of character

G．Using them will give you the joy and satisfaction of seeing your kids grow

27、When you step on an escalator (自动扶梯), do you stand to one side to let others pass? When someone in the room fans himself with a piece of paper, do you open a window? If you ask someone to hang out with you and they stare at you blankly, do you withdraw the invitation? If you don’t do any of these things, I have some unfortunate news: you cannot “read the air”.

Knowing the unspoken rules governing social life requires a comprehensive understanding of your environment, whatever its setting. It’s a skill that’s valuable anywhere in the world—but in Japan, it is raised to another level. Reading the air—kuuki o yomu in Japanese—is a constant exercise. Misreading the air can blow business deals or ruin relationships.

Rochelle Kopp, who runs a cross-cultural training firm Japan Intercultural Consulting, says that while all nations have varying degrees of indirect communication, in Japan the phenomenon is more prominent in society. For example, if you’re talking to a client who has long since lost interest, you risk being labeled KY—a pejorative Japanese slang term that stands for “kuuki ga yomenai”, or “unable to read the air”.

A big part of “reading the air” is picking up on non-verbal cues. David Matsumoto, a psychology professor at San Francisco State University, studies micro-expressions: tiny involuntary facial tics that can give away a person’s true emotions. When, for example, a client at work says they’re happy with the job you’re doing, a very subtle lip twitch or eyebrow raise could mean they’re not telling you the truth. Noticing micro-expressions, along with other non-verbal communication, is important in any interaction, no matter where you are.

“Silence is one non-verbal signal. So is shifting of posture. A social smile could be yet another signal,” says Matsumoto. “All of these are part of the non-verbal package that contributes to that contextual meaning.” Matsumoto runs Humintell, a company that provides workshops on how to get better at reading micro-expressions and other non-verbal signals. Others provide such services, too; in Tokyo’s Toranomon business district, researcher Kenji Shimizu runs the Institute for Science and Being Sensitive to the Situation.

Like Matsumoto, Shimizu teaches people how to master micro-expressions. Shimizu uses a system developed by U.S. psychologist Paul Ekman, who coined the term and described the subtle facial changes as “involuntary emotional leakage”. “If you notice someone’s disgust (厌恶) —wrinkling around the nose—or anger—brows lowering, eyes widening, lips pressing—and yet those expressions are masked by smiles, you may want to figure out their actual thoughts.” Shimizu says.

【1】According to the article, which of the following statements about “reading the air” is TRUE?

A．The culture of “reading the air” only exists in Japan.

B．It is the skill of understanding others’ unspoken “language”.

C．It is the key to maintaining good interpersonal relationships.

D．The skill is all about picking up other people’s micro-expressions.

【2】The underlined word “pejorative” in Paragraph 3 most probably means“________”.

A．disapproving

B．approving

C．unfamiliar

D．familiar

【3】What can be learnt from Kenji Shimizu’s words?

A．A social smile is the best way to hide your emotion.

B．Micro-expressions can give away the complete contents of a person’s emotions.

C．The non-verbal signals on a person’s face can reveal his or her true intentions.

D．You can improve your ability to read other people’s emotions with practice.

28、   In the fall of 2017, when Paula Aldridge needed to get a job, she found herself at a crossroads. The 50-year-old wasn’t sure she would ever work again, due to health issues.

But Aldridge’s life and career journey started to turn around after she connected with Goodwill of Central Iowa’s skills (技能) training programs. These programs aim to help people develop the specific, real-world skills they need to get and keep a job, through a combination of detailed teaching and hands-on experience.

When Aldridge first connected with Goodwill in September 2017, she was having trouble finding a job. Transportation was challenging, as she didn’t have a driver’s license or own a car. Aldridge also had a limited work history with long employment gaps (间断) , meaning she missed the chances to learn important skills, such as working a credit card machine. Besides, her physical health issues were also a problem.

According to Kayleigh Duff, a career specialist at Goodwill of Central Iowa, the biggest difficulty Aldridge had to overcome was from within. “She said outwardly that she had all of this confidence and that she knew how strong a worker she was, but I don’t think she truly believed it herself.”

Thankfully, many people offer Aldridge encouragement and guidance. She first started off in the food service training program but was eager to enter the retail (零售) skills program, since she had worked at the Salvation Army and Subway before. When Aldridge mentioned her interest in retail, Duff recognized that her go-getting attitude would be perfect for the program.

The seven-week retail skills training is a systematic program combining classroom teaching with on- the-job experience at a Goodwill store. As Aldridge graduated from the program, she became more confident in her abilities.

Duff said it was great to see how Aldridge grew into the devoted worker she is today. “She has this strong desire, this longing to succeed. And she knows that she’s able to do that, although she has fallen short in the past.”

【1】What can be learned about Goodwill’s training programs?

A.They combine theory with practice.

B.They will surely find a good job for people in the program.

C.They are designed mainly for the unemployed.

D.They were set up in the autumn of 2017.

【2】What was the biggest problem Aldridge faced according to Duff?

A.Poor health.

B.Poor working skills.

C.Without enough confidence.

D.Not having a driver’s license.

【3】Why did Aldridge change her training program?

A.She wanted to attend a more systematic program.

B.She wanted to get some hands-on experience.

C.She was more interested in retail.

D.She followed Duff’s advice.

【4】What’s the main idea of the text?

A.A 50-year-old devotes herself to Goodwill.

B.Goodwill helps a 50-year-old turn her life around.

C.Goodwill training programs spring up around the world.

D.Success is closely connected to good training programs.

29、If you’ve been in public in the past year or so, chances are you’ve noticed someone breaking dining etiquette (礼仪) that would seem second-nature to any adult. Why does our dining etiquette seem to be at the lowest point of all time right now?

“Overall, there is much less feeling about the common good, which means caring about your neighbor—whether at home or in a restaurant,” said Steven, who writes articles for USA Today.

Take the use of cellphone at the table for example. While a 2015 survey by the Pew Research Center found that 38 percent of those surveyed thought it was acceptable to use their phones while dining out, the increasing number of cellphone bans in restaurants shows that restaurants aren’t putting up with it.

However, some see the growing use of cellphones as a sign that manners change alongside our society.

“Manners change,” said the writer behind a food site The Takeout. “What we consider improper isn’t set in stone.” She points out the other “rules” that have since become outdated nowadays, like saying “Sir” and “Ma’am” as proof of this change.

Yes, traditional manners are yet another thing being redefined by youth. “Younger people are growing up in a world with more flexible rules, and this spreads to the dining table,” said Daniel Levine, director of global trends consultancy The Avant－Guide Institute.

Whether you prefer high-end restaurants or a fast-casual meal, the biggest reason behind the decline of manners may just be a numbers game.

“I believe it is more likely for people to break dining ‘rules’ because they go out and eat more often,” said Diane Gottsman, owner of The Protocol School of Texas. “Years ago, people stayed home and sat around the family table. Today, there are more people in the workforce, which makes it more affordable for socializing and eating out. With new chance comes the possibility for more dining problems.”

【1】What did the 2015 survey find?

A．Many people accepted using phones at the table.

B．Cellphones were banned in most restaurants.

C．Most of the surveyed people used phones while eating out.

D．Few restaurants show concern about using phones while eating.

【2】Why was the example of “Sir” and “Ma’am” mentioned?

A．To show modern people are becoming impolite.

B．To explain dining rules in high-end restaurants.

C．To prove dining etiquette changes through time.

D．To argue young people are making dining rules today.

【3】According to Diane Gottsman, people forget their dining manners more often because ________.

A．they think they are unimportant

B．they grew up with flexible rules

C．they have more chances to eat out

D．they must hurry meals to get back to work

【4】What’s the author’s purpose in writing this text?

A．To introduce changes in dining manners.

B．To encourage people to have dining manners.

C．To report survey findings on dining manners.

D．To discuss the reasons for poor dining manners
