8、ed to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher might have found out. She seldom became angry, but she was this time. “Oh,” I thought. I was the one who broke the window. It was caused by a naughty throw of a baseball. If I admitted guilt, I would be in a lot of trouble. How
9、 would I be able to pay for a big window like that? I didnt even get an allowance(零花钱). “My father is going to have a temper,” I thought. I didnt want to raise my hand, but some force much stronger than I pulled it skyward. I told the truth, “I did it.” It was hard enough to say what I had done. My
10、teacher took down a book from one of our library shelves and I had never known my teacher, who would strike a student with it, but I feared she was going to start with me. “I know how you like birds,” she said as she stood looking down at my guilt-ridden(深感歉疚的)face. “Here is that field guide about b

Its a slang(俚语)word used in the UK to describe children between about ten and twelve years old. They are between being a junior and a teenager, you see. Why do
16、 the press and media refer to kids in this way? Well, more and more companies now create products and services for tweenagers. They seem to tell us that tweenagers must have more money, freedom and influence upon their parents than theyve ever had before. Most children in the UK today get more pocke
17、t money than kids did a decade ago. Despite problems happening fairly often and regularly in the economy, parents generally have more money to give than before, since they are having fewer children on average than in the past. In addition, a higher divorce(离婚)rate in the UK makes parents try to comp
18、ensate(补偿)by buying presents for their children. Its a bad habit for both parents and children to get into, but parents are under constant pressure from commercial marketing and the requests of their children. You may wonder how tweenagers have more freedom than previous generations. Well, UK childr
19、en today are very media-and computer-literate. They have access to much more information about life and the world. They may have experienced a lot in life as well. With such sophistication(老于世故)at such a young age, its no wonder tweenagers are able to influence their parents. Now UK tweenagers are a
20、lso very fashion-conscious and concerned about their images. In a world of television programs that promise immediate success and fame at a young age, some people think its extremely important to look fashionable. So what does tweenage fashion look like? Its lots of brightly colored materials, parti
21、cularly pink, and usually plain, not patterned. There are plenty of bows, necklaces and bracelets, too. But can it really be healthy for us to encourage kids to be like adults at a young age? Are we stealing childhoods in return for a bit of profit? Well, the UK government is certainly concerned, an
22、d for that reason has strict laws preventing companies from clearly and openly marketing their products and services at children.8What is the use of the first paragraph?ATo explain a concept and bring up the topic.BTo tell the difference between a junior and a teenager.CTo show why people in the UK
23、prefer to use the slang.DTo state how the slang came into being and make a summary.9How does the author like the idea that parents buy presents for their children?AHe doesnt give a certain answer.BHe doesnt agree with it.CHe doubts about it.DHe supports it.10Why can tweenagers affect their parents m
24、ore than those before?AThey have learned more about life and the world.BThey can receive more advanced school education.CTheir parents have less time to take good care of them,DTheir parents are under constant pressure from their work.11Why do tweenagers tend to look fashionable?AThey are afraid of
25、being laughed at by others.BThey have less freedom than previous generations.CThey wish to become successful and famous quickly.DThe media often encourage kids to be like adults at a young age.Many kids help out around the house with chores (家庭杂务) such as emptying a dishwasher, putting dry clothes a
26、way, and taking out trash. In exchange, some kids get allowances or other rewards such as extra computer time. But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a messa
27、ge that work isnt worth doing unless they get something in return. “Running any kind of household is a team effort,” Susie said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. Its important for kids to see that they all have responsibilities in the house, and that a family decides together ho
28、w they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look.”Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards encourages kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real-world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. There are a
29、lso new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed (兑取) either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by completing chores that they can turn in (提交) for real-life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. “Our goa
30、l is to encourage kids to earn rewards,” says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster, “Kids need positive reinforcement (强化) to help encourage them to do so.”What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores? Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return? Wr

41、out in my mind. It was shortly before Christmas. I was in the eighth grade and was working in the evenings, arranging the toys in the area. A little boy, five or six years old, came in.

After about twenty minutes, the little boy chose a toy 31 , walked up to my dad and said, “How much is this, Mister?” “How much have you got?” Dad asked. The little boy held out his hand and opened 32 . His
44、hand was covered with wet lines of dirt from holding his money. In his hand lay five coins: two dimes, a nickel and two Penniestwenty-seven cents altogether. The price on the toy plane hed 33 was $3.98. “Thatll be OK,” Dad said when he closed the sale. Dads answer still 34 in my ears. I thought abou
