But experts on psychological research now believe that silver spoons can leave a bitter taste. If suicide statistics are a sign of happiness, then the rich are a miserable lot. Figures show that it is the rich who most often do away with themselves.Dr. Robert Coles, an internationally famous doctor, is the world' s top expert on the influence of money on children. Hehas written a well-received book on the subject, The Privileged Ones, and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little. Obviously there are certain advantages to being rich, says the 53 year old doctor, such as better health, education and future work expectation, but most important is the quality of family life. Money can' t buy love.It can buy a lot of other things, though, and that' s where the trouble starts. Rich kids have so much to choose from that they often become confused. Their parents' over favoring can make them spoiled. They tend to travel more than other children, from home to home and country to country, which often makes them feel restless.But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world, adds Mr. Coles, and they are more self-assured.Today' s rich parents perhaps have realized that their riches can be more of a burden than a favor to their children. So their priority is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in moneyAccording to the passage , children of rich families ()A. enjoy travelingB. can buy loveC. usually commit suicideD. are not always happy2、 Dr. Robert Coles believes that ()A. being rich has as many advantages as being poorB. rich children often get too little entertainmentC. rich children sometimes can' t enjoy the thing they are most in need ofD. rich children aren? t given enough things3、 Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage ()A.

Trees provide shade, beauty, and homes for wildlife. Trees give us products like paper and wood. Trees can give us all these only if they are healthy. They must be well cared for to remain healthy.Your trees' trouble may be you yourself. People spend much time and money planting and maintaining trees. Trees help to improve the looks of homes, parks, and public buildings. Yet, people who love trees the most may be the ones who cause them injury. Of course, they do not do this on purpose. They are most likely not aware of the kinds of things that injure trees. There are many people who cause tree injuries. You should become aware of the injuries and avoid causing them. Learn the things that can help to keep your trees healthy.Healthy trees are beautiful. They make our world a pleasant place to live in. Unhealthy trees are not as beautiful. They make the world less pleasant. Healthy trees help to cool andclean the air. They can even deaden sound. Unhealthy trees cannot help or protect the environment.

Overhead bridges are used in very much the same way as a zebra crossing. They are more efficient although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When pedestrians use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic.However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government hasbuilt many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time.The government of Beijing has spent a large amount of money on building these bridges. For their own safety, pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of risking their lives by dashing across the road. Old people, however, may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic.Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young, should make it a habit to use them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of lifeWhat is the advantage of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage ()A.

They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. Negative events like serious illness of a family member were high on the list, but so were some positive life-changing events, like marriage. When you take the Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not reflect how you deal with stress一it only shows how much you have to deal with, and we now know that the way you handle these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy.By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. and millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow, the research was described briefly in a memorable message. Women? s magazines ran headlines like Stress causes illness! If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy, the articles said, avoid stressful events.But such simple advice is impossible to follow.

Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription (处方)for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move.The notion that all stress makes you sick also ignores a lot of what we know about people. It assumes we' re all weak and passive in the face of difficulties. But what about human initiative and creativity? Many people who come through periods of stress with more physical and mental energy than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom, and physical and metal strain Holmes and Rahe made a medical research on ()A. what to do to avoid stressB. what to do to cope with stressC. what kind of events can cause stressD. what kind of stress can cause changes17、 The score of the Holmes-Rahe test shows ()A. how much you have to deal with stressB. how positive events can change your lifeC. how negative events can change your lifeD. how you can deal with life-changing events18> The studies on stress in the early 1970s made peopleA. feel more stressful in working and livingB. believe that it' s impossible to avoid stressC. worry about their mental and physical healthD. believe that it' s possible to avoid stressful events19> If a person wanted to avoid stress completely, he would have to()A. avoid any changesB. made some changesC. be free of dangerous thingsD. stay away from the opportunities20> Which of the following best describes the writer' s tone in the passage ()A.
