1 . Today's world is not an easy adjustment for young adults. 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(自主权).

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.

6 . We love letters. Just as John Donne, a poet, _________ it, “Letters, to me and my friends mean _________ greetings; they get souls together. Thanks to letters, friends who are _________ speak.” He wrote these words nearly 400 years ago. Today, in the age of instant text message, social media, and email, they _________ ring truer than ever, because writing or receiving a letter has become such a _________ event.

A UK-wide survey undertaken by Sunday Times suggests that one in four of us has not _________ a letter for at least 10 years. That’s ten years without the bitter-sweet _________ of pacing the floor waiting for the _________; ten years without recognizing the handwriting on the envelope and eagerly _________ the letter to read its content.

We ____________ not get them any more, but we still love handwritten letters. In the same survey, one third of ____________ people interviewed say that they ____________ the content of sentimental (充满情感的) letters. Shouldn’t we make ____________ to give our friends and families what they will treasure forever? Ann Bickley went online in 2013 and offered to handwrite a letter to anyone who ____________ her. Her website received 50,000 ____________ in its first three months. Five years later, she is still the main ____________ behind one-million-lovely-letter.com and has personally written 4,000 letters offering hope and ____________ to strangers.

The thought behind a letter ____________ as much as its contents. “I never tell anyone that ____________ is going to be OK,” Ann Bickley says, “I am letting someone know that there is someone in the world who ____________ them.”

7 . You may have grown up living with lots of siblings, or this may be your first time sharing your living space with someone else.     1     Follow these tips to make sure you and your roommate keep things pleasant and supportive throughout the year (or even years)!

Be clear about your expectations from the beginning. Do you know in advance that you hate it when someone hits the snooze button (贪睡闹铃) fifteen times every morning? That you’re a neat freak (怪人)? That you need ten minutes to yourself before talking to anyone after you wake up?     2     It’s not fair to expect him or her to pick up on them right away, and communicating what you need is one of the best ways to avoid problems before they become problems.

Address problems when they’re little. Is your roommate always forgetting her things for the shower, and taking yours?     3     Addressing things that annoy you while they’re still little can help your roommate be aware of something she may not otherwise know. And addressing little things is much easier than addressing them after they’ve become big.

    4     This may seem simple, but it’s probably one of the biggest reasons why roommates experience conflict. Don’t think he’ll mind if you borrow his shoes for a quick soccer game? For all you know, you just stepped over an uncrossable line. Don’t borrow, use, or take anything without getting permission first.

Be mindful of who you bring into your room-and how often.     5     But your roommate may not. Be mindful of how often you bring people over. If your roommate studies best in the quiet, and you study best in a group, can you alternate who hits the library and who gets the room?

A．Be open to new ideas and experiences.

B．Respect all the things that belong to your roommate.

C．You may love having your study group into your room.

D．Expect to learn, grow and change during the time in the college.

E．Are your clothes being borrowed faster than you can wash them?

F．Let your roommate know as soon as you can about your little preferences.

G．Having a roommate can be both a challenge and a great part of your college experience.

9 . Many of us think, wrongly, that the moon doesn’t change. For example, the Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ruoxu once wrote that “Generations have come and passed away; From year to year the moons took alike, old and new.”

However, a new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience shows that the moon is in fact slowly shrinking over time. For the study, a group of US scientists examined and analyzed thousands of photographs taken by the NASA orbiter Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (月球勘测轨道飞行器照相机) . They found that there were lots of faults (断层) on the surface of the moon. These faults were formed by recent movement on the moon.

According to NASA, the moon is made up of pieces of rocks with a hot core (核) .The moon continued to expand as it was born. But in this process, it released energy and cooled down. Then it began to shrink, in a way comparable to the shrinking of a grape into a raisin (葡萄干) . Over the past several hundred million years, it has become 46 meters “skinnier”. But due to its hard and rocky crust (外壳) . the moon’s surface continues to push up, “Some of these quakes can be fairly strong around five on the Richter scale (里氏震级 ) ,” said Thomas Watters, a senior scientist at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum in the US.

But does that mean the moon is a dangerous place that human shouldn’t try to explore and live on in the future? Maybe not, reported the Telegraph, “This isn’t anything to worry about. The moon may be shrinking, but not by much. It’s not going anywhere,” Watters comforted us.

The new discovery proves that the idea that the moon is a dead, boring place is wrong. “We have been to the moon and we’ve done some great science, but there is still a lot we don’t know. The moon is shrinking — we didn’t really realize that until recently. It’s a much more active and interesting place than we thought and we should explore that,” NASA scientist Nathan Williams said.

1. Which point of view about the moon may the writer agree to?

A．It stays the same as before.	B．It is becoming lightly smaller.
C．It is getting older and older.	D．It has passed away.

2. What can we learn about the moon from the third paragraph?

A．It has become 46 meters fatter due to expanding.

B．It has changed from a grape into a raisin in recent years.

C．It quakes even at seven on the Richter scale.

D．It has a hot core and releases energy during expanding.

3. Who thinks that we needn’t worry about the moon?

A．Zhang Ruoxu.	B．Thomas Watters.
C．Nathan Williams.	D．The journalist.

4. What does Nathan Williams think of the moon?

A．It is a dead and boring place.	B．It has lots of faults on the surface.
C．It is valuable to do more science.	D．It isn’t a place where we can live.

10 . My day started just as usual. I left for the train station at 7:35 to arrive at work by 8:30. While on the train I would always choose a seat away from the crowd so I can read the newspaper peacefully and _______. I didn’t know why but for some reason when I got on the train today it was unusually _______. I sat down in the only seat available beside a middle-aged man who had his head down and seemed to be _______ in his thoughts. I was glad that he didn’t notice when I sat next to him because he just _______ to look down towards the floor.

Shortly after the train left I found myself _______ what could be so important that he didn’t even see me. I tried to forget about it. However, for some strange reason this inner _______ kept forcing me to talk to this man. I tried to ignore the voice _______ there was no way I was starting a conversation with a complete stranger. Finally I _______ and came up with an excuse to ask him a question. When he _______ his head, I could see that he had some tears rolling down the side of his face ________ his feeble (微弱的) attempt to wipe them away. We talked for about 20 minutes and in the end he seemed to be doing ________.

Several weeks had passed when I noticed an unaddressed envelope on my desk after returning from lunch. It only had the word ________ written on it. When I read the note inside the ________ I was so filled with emotions that I couldn’t ________ myself. It was a letter from the man I met on the train thanking me again for talking to him and ________ his life that day. Clearly he had some very hurtful personal problems that were ________ uncontrolled that he was planning to take his life that day.

In his letter he explained that he screamed out to God in despair (绝望) ________ if God really cared about him he would ________ someone to prevent him from taking his life. In his eyes I was that someone, that Angel sent by God.

So next time you feel prompted (冲动) for no ________ reason to talk to a friend, relative, neighbor or even a complete stranger please remember my story. You just may make a ________ to someone’s life when you listen to your inner voice.
