Parents feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers．Then again，teenagers have31feelings about their parents，saying that it is not easy living with them．According to a recent research，the most common32between parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks．On the one hand，parents go mad over33rooms，clothes thrown on the floor and their children's refusal to help with the34．On the other hand，teenagers lose their patience continually when parents blame them for35the towel in the bathroom，not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket．The research，conducted by St．George University，shows that different parents have different36to these problems．However，some approaches are more37than others．For example，those parents who yell at their children for their untidiness，but38clean the room for them，have fewer chances of changing their children's39．On the contrary，those who let teenagers experience the40of their actions can do better．For example，when teenagers who don't help their parents with the shopping don't find their favorite drink in the refrigerator，they are forced to41their actions．Psychologists say that42is the most important thing in parent-child relationships．Parents should43to their children but at the same time they should lend an ear to what they have to say．Parents may44their children when they are untidy but they should also understand that their room is their own private space．Communication is a two-way process．It is only by listening to and45each other that problems between parents and children can be settled.43A.reply,B.attend,C.attach,D.talk

Passage FourSometimes I scratch my head when I read about the government' s efforts to improve schools:new standards and tests to be applied, strict teacher evaluations, and threats of school closures and job losses. They frighten the school employees, not to mention the students. Instead of making people unable to solve problems or try new ideas--which is what fear does to us--research on school reform strongly suggests that policy-makers should encourage school leaders to take a more humane approach. In their study on the reform efforts of twelve Chicago public schools, Bryk and Schneider found that enabling positive social relationships between the adults was the key to successful school improvement and that trust was at the heart of those relationships.Trust in schools comes down to one thing:psychological safety or safety to speak one's mind,to discuss with openness and honesty what is and isn' t working,to make collective decisions.Yet this kind of safety doesn' t come easily to schools. According to Bryk and Schneider, the adults in school rely on each other to do their jobs correctly and with integrity （正直). The challeage is that our expectations are very diverse based on our unique backgrounds.At one school where I taught, each teacher had different expectations about how much effort teachers should put into their work--a big difference between the teachers who left af~the last bell and those who worked into the evening. And when expectations are uncoasci or unspoken, it becomes impossible for others to live up to them.We also make assumptions about the intentions behind a person' s behavior. As we all Imam,assumptions are often wrong. For example, parents and teachers my think the principal taml particular decision based on his career advancement rather than hat" s best for the studeata. don't feel psychologically safe to question our assumptions and e~aecmtiatm, trust itiea am the window and our relationships suffer.49. According to Bryk and Schneider, what was most important for successful school improvemt?

12.Passage FiveClaude-Oscar Monet ( 1840 -- 1926 ) was a French artist and a leading member of the Impressionist group of painters. Born in Paris, Monet spent his childhood in Le Havre. There he met a local artist, Eugene Boudin. Who encouraged him to become a landscape painter.　　In 1859, Monet went to Paris to study at the Academie Suisse. Between 1860 and 1862, Monet served in the army in Algeria ( 阿尔及利亚 ). He returned to Paris where he met most of the major artists of the era. In 1870, Monet married Camille Doncieux. To escape the Franco-Prnssian war,they moved to London Back to France, they settled at Argenteuil, a boating centre on the Seine (塞纳河 ) which drew many other Impressionist painters. Working from nature was a particular symbol of the Impressionist movement, and one that Monet valued, reflecting in his paintings the ever-changing impact of light and weather conditions.　　In 1872,he visited Le Havre where he painted "An Impression,Sunrise". When exhibited in 1874, part of its title was used by a critic to label the whole movement "Impressionism".　　Monet's wife died in 1879,and he set up home with Alice Hoschede, the wife of one of his most important sponsors. During the 1880s, Monet traveled through France painting a variety of landscapes. He gradually became better known and for the last 30 years of his life he was regarded as the greatest of the Impressionists.　　From 1890 he began to paint a series (系列 ) of pictures of one subject, including "Haystacks" "Rouen Cathedral" and "Waterlilies". The latter were painted in the fine garden Monet created at his house at Giverny, where he lived from 1883 on. He painted them over and over again,most significantly in a series especially for a museum in Paris.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

13.“I love you Bob.” “I love you too, Nancy.” it was 2 a.m., and I was hearing my parents’ voices throughthe thin wall separating my bedroom from theirs. Their loving words were sweet, touching—andsurprising. My parents married on September 14, 1940, after a brief dating. She was nearly 30 andknew it was time to start a family. The handsome well-educated man who came by the office whereshe worked looked like a good bet. He was attracted by her figure, her blue eyes. The romancedidn’t last long. Seeds of difference grew almost immediately. She liked to travel; he hated thethought. He loved golf; she did not. He was a Republican, she a loyal Democrat. They fought at thebridge table, at the dinner table, over money, over the perceived shortcomings of their respectivein-laws. There was a hope that they would change once they retired, and the angry winds did calmsomewhat, but what remained changed itself into bright, hard bitterness. “I always thought we’d …”my mother would begin, before launching into a precise listing of my father’s faults. The complaintswere recited so often, I can repeat them by heart today. as he listened, my father would say angrythreats and curses in a low voice. It wasn’t the happiest marriage, but as their 60th anniversary(纪念日)approached, my sister and I decided to throw a party. Sixty years was a long time, after all;why not try to make the best of things? We’d provide the cakes, the balloons, the toasts, and they’dfollow one rule: no fighting. The agreement was honored. We had a wonderful day.
