25、n I got the driving license last summer, Mom and I took our first trip around an empty parking lot. Then I found that my mother was not the best teacher for me. It wasnt that she shouted, or told me that I was doing poorly. As you can imagine, my mothers “helpful instructions (指示)” only made me more
26、 nervous.Since I could no longer practice with her, the job was placed in the hands of my father. The idea of learning from Dad was not one that thrilled me. I loved him dearly, but I just did not see Dad as someone I could be fortably learning from. He almost never talked. We shared a typical (典型的)
27、 father-daughter relationship. Hed ask how school was, and Id say it was fine. Unfortunately, that was the most of our conversations. Spending hours alone with someone who might as well have been a stranger really scared me.As we got into the car that first time, I was not surprised at what happened
28、. Dad and I drove around, saying almost nothing, aside from a few instructions on how to turn. As my lessons went on, however, things began to change. Dad would turn the radio up so I could fully appreciate his favorite Stones music. And he actually began talking. I was soon hearing about past faile
29、d dates, “basic body” gym class, and other tales from his past, including some of his first meeting with Mom.Dads sudden chattiness (爱讲话) was shocking until I thought about why he was telling me so much in the car. In all the years, I had wondered why my father never spoke that much, but I had never
30、 stopped to consider that it was because I had never bothered to listen. Homework, friends, and even TV had all called me away from him, and, consequently (因此), I never thought my quiet father had anything to say.Since I began driving with him, my driving skill has greatly increased. More important,
31、 though, is that my knowledge of who my father is has also increased. Just living with him wasnt enough it took driving with him for me to get to know someone who was a mystery.49. The author couldnt practice driving with her mother because _. A. she couldnt talk with her mother B. her father wanted
32、 to teach herC. her mother made her nervous D. she didnt trust her mother50. At first, the idea of learning driving from her father made her _.A. happy B. uneasy C. satisfied D. disappointed51.

A. fathers love their daughters dearly B. mothers are less patient than fathers C. family members need real munication D. it takes time to improve the fathe
34、r-daughter relationshipCIts 10:30 pm, and 11-year-old Brandon Blanco is sound asleep at home. Suddenly, a loud noise wakes him up. Naturally, Brandon reaches for his cell phone. The message bees clear: “R U awake?”Brandons use of technology doesnt stop there. He also has a puter, a TV and three vide
35、o-game consoles (控制台) in his room. With so many choices, its no surprise that when he isnt at school, he spends nearly every waking minute using one or more of these devices.Brandon is hardly alone. According to a recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, kids aged 8 to18 are spending more time
36、than ever before using electronic devices (电子设备). How much time? More than seven and a half hours a day on average, the study found.The jump is the result of a huge explosion in mobile devices, says Victoria Rideout, the lead author of the study. Today, nearly seven out of ten kids have cell phones.
37、 Just five years ago, it was four out of ten.Often, kids multitask, or use more than one device at a time. “If youve got a chance to do something on your puter and take a phone call and have the TV on in the background, why not?” media expert Cheryl Olson says.Most experts agree technology has much
38、to offer kids. But some worry the kids could be missing out on other activities like playing outside or hanging out with friends. “Its a matter of balance,” says Olson. “Youve got to work on it.”Multitasking while doing homework is another concern. Some kids listen to music, watch TV or use the phon
39、e while doing their homework. “Its important to make sure that you can stop and concentrate on one thing deeply,” says Rideout.With new and exciting devices hitting stores every year, keeping technology use in check (在控制中) is more important than ever. “Kids should try,” adds Rideout. “but parents mi
40、ght have to step in sometimes.”53. Why do children spend more time in using electronic devices (电子设备)?A. Because more electronic devices are available to them.B. Because electronic devices are more exciting than before.C. Because they have less other activities.D. Because they have less homework to
41、do.54. It is known from the passage that _.A. Brandon Blanco feels very annoyed about his late-night text B. the teenagers using mobile devices have increased by 40% in the past five yearsC.

Talking on the phone while staying with others.C. Playing video games on the Internet.D. Listening to music while relaxing.56. Acco
43、rding to the passage, Victoria Rideout would probably agree that _.A. kids should do homework while surfing the InternetB. kids should do homework in a place without disturbanceC. kids should spend more time on homeworkD. kids should have more homework than beforeD Last week, my granddaughter starte
44、d kindergarten, and I wished her every success. But part of me didnt. I actually wanted her to fail in some ways because I believe that failure can be good for our learning process. Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do, or doing something correctly the first
45、time, which can often be a problematic (存在问题的) victory. First-time success is usually a fluke (侥幸). First-time failure, by contrast, is supposed to be the natural order of things. Failure is how we learn. In Africa they describe a good cook as “She who has broken many pots.” If youve spent enough time in the kitchen to have broken a lot of pots, probably you know a fair amount about cooking. I once had dinner with a group of cooks, and they spent time paring knife wounds and
