(A)

Complete the following passage with words chosen from the Words and Phrases to Drill box. Change the form where necessary.

Is there a contrast (1) between learning styles in China and the West? While we should be careful to avoid exaggerating (2) the differences, they do appear to exist. In China, for example, greater priority (3) is given to developing skills at an early age. The Americans, on the other hand (4) , place more emphasis on promoting (5) creativity in young children, leaving them to pick up (6) skills later. American parents tend to avoid rushing in to assist (7) their children as they try to accomplish (8) a task, thinking it better that children should learn to solve problems by themselves. Such an approach can, on occasion (9), be mistaken for neglecting (10) one’s parental duties by those more used to “teaching by holding the hand.” Both approaches have their disadvantages as well as advantages, and it may well be worthwhile (11) to search for a superior (12) method that would combine the best of both worlds. [译文] 中西方学习方式上有差异吗？虽然我们说到差异应注意不夸大其辞，但差异确实存在。例如在中国很重视孩子早期技能的培养，而美国人则更强调幼年时创造力的培养，而把技能留待日后获得。美国的父母在孩子尝试着完成一项任务时不会插手帮助，他们认为孩子应自行解决问题。这种方法有时会被那些更习惯于“把着手教”的人误解为没有尽到父母的职责。这两种方法各有利弊，最好我们能中西合璧，取其精华，寻求到一种最优的教育方法。

(B)

Fill in the gaps with any words you think fit:

Why are children so different in their responses to (1) the same situation? Some research suggests that styles of parenting may affect/influence (2) children’s competence in dealing with their world. According to some researchers, there are three parenting styles and one style of parenting enhances children’s competence more than the others (3). Typical behavior patterns of children raised according to each/them (4) are as follows. Authoritarian parents value control and expect their children to obey without (5) questioning. In authoritarian homes, children are so strictly controlled (6) that often they cannot make independent choices about (7) their own behavior. Permissive parents value (8) self-expression and self-regulation. They (9) are warm, noncontrolling, and undemanding. In permissive homes, children receive so little (10) guidance that they may become uncertain and anxious about whether they are doing the right (11) thing. Authoritative parents respect children’s independent decisions, interests, and opinions, but (12) also stress social values. They are loving, demanding, firm in (13) maintaining standards and willing to impose mild punishment. In authoritative homes, children know what (14) is expected of them and can decide whether it is worth (15) risking parental displeasure to pursue a goal. These children know the satisfaction of meeting responsibilities and (16) achieving success. [译文]

为什么孩子会对同一情境做出不同的反应呢？一些研究表明，为人父母的方式会影响孩子处理问题的能力。据一些研究人员说，有三种类型的父母，不同的类型在培养孩子能力方面效果不同。以下便是这三种类型的父母分别培养出的孩子的典型行为模式：

专制型的父母重视对孩子的控制，期望孩子一味地服从。在专制的家庭中，孩子受控太严，不能对自己的行为做出独立的选择。放任型的父母重视个性表现和自我调节，他们对孩子给以温暖，放任自流，不严加要求。在这样的家庭中，孩子获得的指引太少，难以确信自己做事正确与否。权威型的父母尊重孩子独立的选择、兴趣和意见，但同时重视社会价值。他们有爱心，严格要求，坚持原则，并适时加以善意的惩罚。在权威型的家庭中，孩子明了父母期望他们什么，并且能判断为了追求某个目标是否值得违抗父母，这样的孩子懂得尽到责任和取得成功会带来喜悦。 II. Translation

Translate the following passage into English, using the words and phrases given below:

I consider it worthwhile trying to summarize our experience in learning English. Here I would like to make three relevant points. First, wide reading should be taken as a priority in the learning process, because it is through reading that we get the most language input. Next, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important. On the one hand, rote learning/learning by rote is indeed of little help, but on the other hand, memorization/learning by heart with a good understanding will certainly be of benefit/do good to us. With an enormous store of excellent essays in our heads, we will find it much easier to express ourselves in English. Finally, it is critical that we should put what we have learned into practice. By doing more reading, writing, listening and speaking, we will be able to accomplish the task of perfecting our English.

He should know better, but he never seems to learn and just goes on making the same mistakes repeatedly (7).

圣诞节快到了。妈妈决定送给姥姥一张全家福和一张圣诞卡。这本应该是一件简单的事情，可是还是有问题：我兄弟麦克的问题。

当我们为照相摆姿势时，麦克拒绝改变他蓬克的外表。他的头发染成了鲜红色。链子和钮扣在他黑色皮夹上闪闪发光。另外一条更长的链子当作皮带。更糟糕的是，他的裤子和靴子也是鲜红色的。

妈妈让麦克考虑一下当姥姥看到她文雅的外孙子变成了一个愤怒的年轻人时的感受。可是麦克坚持说：“这是真正的我。”噢，你能想象得出妈妈是怎样的绝望。

然而，当妈妈从冲洗处取回洗出的相片时，她又高兴了。原来在照相馆有台电脑。它清除了麦克照片上的头发，把它变成了褐色。一件灰色毛衣取代了他的皮夹克。他的裤子和靴子也变成了体面的黑色。

不久，妈妈把照片放进了邮件。当然，麦克从未知道这个小秘密。 II. Translation

George, the son of Mr. Johnson, liked listening to heavy metal music in the evenings, and the noise interrupted the sleep of other residents in the community. Eventually the exhausted neighbors lost their patience and decided on direct interference. They called Mr. Johnson to tell him in a frank manner what they were thinking. Embarrassed, Mr. Johnson scolded his son, “What has come over you? You should know better than to disturb others for the sake of your own interest.” As a result George traded his records for computer games software from his classmates. Overall, the whole thing has worked out quite satisfactorily.

Psychologists have used numerous facts to bear out the argument/statement/claim that in order to recover speedily from negative emotion, you should allow yourself to cry.

It was the tears that brought me back to earth.”
