2．Don't get mad next time you catch your teenager texting when he commits himself to studying.He simply may not be able to resist.A study of the University of Iowa（UI）found teenagers are far more sensitive than adults to the immediate effect or reward of their behavior.The findings may help explain why the initial rush of texting may be more attractive for adolescents than the long-term payoff of studying.
"For the teenager，the rewards are seductive for them to be addicted to texting，" says Professor Jatin Vaidya，an author of the study. "They draw adolescents.Sometimes，the rewards are a kind of motivation for them.Even when a kind of behavior is no longer in a teenager's best interest to continue，they will，because the effect of the rewards is still there and lasts much longer in adolescents than in adults."
For parents，that means limiting distractions so that teenagers can make better choices.Take the homework and social media dilemma：At 9 p.m.，shut off everything except a computer that has no access to Facebook or Twitter，as the researchers advise. "I'm not saying they shouldn't be allowed access to technology，" says Vaidya. "But some help in resetting their concentration is necessary for them so that they can develop those impulse-control skills."
In their study，Vaidya and co-author Shaun Vecera note researchers generally believe teenagers are not mature，make bad decisions，and engage in risky behavior because the frontal lobes（額葉）of their brains are not fully developed.But the UI researchers wondered whether something more fundamental was going on with adolescents to cause behavior independent of higher-level reasoning.
"We wanted to try to understand the brain's reward system and how it changes from childhood to adulthood，" says Vaidya，who adds that the reward character in the human brain is easier than decision-making. "We've been trying to understand the reward process in adolescence and whether there is more to adolescent behavior than an under-developed frontal lobe，" he adds.For their study，the researchers persuaded 40 adolescents，aged 13 to 16，and 40 adults，aged 20 to 35 to participate.
In the future，researchers hope to look into the psychological and neurological（神經(jīng)學上的）aspects of their results.
（1）What does the passage mainly tell us？
A．Always，rewards are attractive to teenagers.
B．Always，adolescents can resist rewards.
C．Resistance can be controlled well by adolescents.
D．Getting rewards is the greatest motivation for adolescents to study.
（2）What does the underlined word "seductive" in Paragraph 2 mean？
A．Necessary.
B．Attractive.
C．Useful.
D．Important.
（3）Which statement agrees with Vaidya's idea？
A．The influence of the reward is weak in adolescents.
B．Parents should help children in making decisions.
C．Children should have access to the Internet.
D．Children need help in refocusing their attention.
（4）What result does the teenager's brain underdevelopment lead to？
A．Doing things after some thought.
B．Making good decisions.
C．Joining in dangerous actions.
D．Escaping risky behavior.組卷：14引用：2難度：0.5 -
3．Today's world is not an easy adjustment for young adults.A key skill set for success is persistence（毅力），a characteristic that researchers say is heavily influenced by fathers.Researchers from Brigham Young University discovered that fathers are in a unique position to help their adolescent children learn persistence.
BYU professors Laura Padilla-Walker and Randal Day arrived at these findings after following 325 American families over several years.And over time，the persistence gained through fathers led to higher achievement in school.
"There are relatively few studies that stress the unique role of fathers，" Padilla-Walker said. "This research also helps to prove that characteristics such as persistence—which can be taught-are key to a child's life success."
Researchers determined that dads need to practice an "authoritative" parenting style.Authoritative parenting is not authoritarian：rigid，demanding or controlling.Rather，an authoritative parenting style includes some of the following characteristics：children feel warmth and love from their father；responsibility and the reasons behind rules are stressed；children are given an appropriate level of autonomy （自主權(quán)）.
In the study，about 52 percent of the dads exhibited above-average levels of authoritative parenting.A key finding is that over time，children raised by an authoritative father were significantly more likely to develop persistence，which leads to better outcomes in school.
This particular study examined 11-to 14-year-olds living in two-parent homes.Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a role in teaching the benefits of persistence，which is an avenue of future research.
（1）What is special about the BYU professors' study？
A．It centered on fathers' role in parenting.
B．It was based on a number of large families.
C．It analyzed different kinds of parenting styles.
D．It aimed to improve kids' achievement in school.
（2）What would an authoritative father do when raising his children？
A．Ignore their demands.
B．Make decisions for them.
C．Control their behaviors.
D．Explain the rules to them.
（3）Which group can be a focus of future studies according to the researchers？
A．Single parents.
B．Children aged from 11 to 14.
C．Authoritarian fathers.
D．Mothers in two-parent homes.
（4）Which of the following is the best title for the text？
A．Three Characteristics of Authoritative Fathers
B．Key Skills for Young Adults to Succeed in Future
C．Children Tend to Learn Determination from Father
D．Family Relationship Influences School Performance組卷：18引用：2難度：0.5

9．閱讀下列材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
I first played ping-pong in our basement at home.My brother and I asked for an old wooden table from my grandfather.It was painted green.Although it was very simple，it served its purpose every day.My father never really played any other sports with me，but ping-pong was one that he played quite well and it took me plenty of time before I could beat him.My elder brother was also a very good competitor.
When I got to university，I was happy to discover a ping-pong table in the common room.I spent a great deal of time there，often until the midnight.There were about three or four friends that I often played against.We were all at the same skill level.One of them had ever played in a tournament.A friend from Germany said his father had ever won the German national tournament.We took part in a tournament.My ranking was the third place，but I had beaten the first and second place winners when we had played for fun.I sometimes played with other friends who didn't play ping-pong well，so I would use my left hand to give them an advantage.But after I became so skilled with my left hand，they no longer had the advantage.
Later，I played in a ping-pong competition which was held by my university.I lost at first.But because it was double elimination（雙淘汰制），I went to the loser group.I beat all the players and then played against the student who had beaten me in the first round.Surprisingly，I beat him 3 times and won the competition.
注意：續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應為150左右。
Paragraph 1：
Later，there was a tournament held in the city where I studied._________________
Paragraph 2：
After the tournament I didn't often play the sport because of the busy study._________________組卷：10引用：1難度：0.6
