The parents grant them the privilege of teaching the children, and the grandparents take great pride in ra

10、ising the children or at least having a big part in raising them.Young children often stay with their grandparents for years at a time, developing a close and trusting relationship. The grandparents teach the children Navajo legends and the principle of life, emphasizing both new culture trends and

11、the preservation of traditions.The grandparents are also often the leading figures in teaching the youth the arts of weaving, caring for the livestock, using herbal medicine, and other arts and crafts.The children are taught to respect their elders, to care for them, to help them whenever they are i

12、n need, and to learn from them. Young people are urged to listen with care to the words of their elders and to keep as much wisdom as possible. Grandparents often go to social gatherings and traditional events, and the young have opportunities to learn more about their culture and traditions.I live

13、with my grandmother for thirteen years, and she raised me in the old ways of our people. Although I was going to school, she taught me as much as she could about our traditions. She was a beautiful woman. If I had a chance, I would listen again to her wise teachings, expressed with kindness in a sof

14、t voice that touched my heart.We used to plant corn and pumpkin every summer. They never grew big enough to feed us, but we planted them anyway. I asked my grandmother why. She said, “Grandson, our plants will be far more beautiful than the flowers outside the fence.” I did not understand until one

15、day I saw their beauty as I was coming over the hill with her. She said, “Anything that is a part of you is always far more beautiful than the things which you pass by.” We had some beautiful years together. I am glad she is a part of me and I am a part of her.Children used to be well disciplined, p

16、ossessing more respect for culture, tradition, and beliefs than they do now. The world of the Navajo has been influenced by the western world, and the grandparents have less control and influence than they used to. But the young people who have been touched by their teachings have glimpsed a way of

17、life beyond what most people know today.21. From Paragraph 1 we can learn thatA. children learn about the meaning of life from their grandparents.B. grandparents are usually unwilling to teach their grandchildren.C. schools are not very popular with the Navajo youth.D. parents hate to take the troub

20、e the greatness of NavajoD. introduce the development of Navajo tribes BMagazine sales have generally been falling since the day the inventor of the Internet said, “Hey, why dont I invent the Internet?”But the latest ABC figures, released this week, show that sales of certain titles are actually goi

21、ng up. News and current affairs magazines are becoming more popularbut celebrity(名人), gossip and fashion publications are still struggling.“Gossip and celebrity news is rarely something that requires detailed analysisso its best suited to bite-sized content on social media,” says Ian Burrell, media

22、columnist for The Drum. “Once its out there, its quickly shared and readers move on to the next star. No one wants to wait a week to read about it in a print magazine.”Fraser Nelson, editor of The Spectator, wrote this week: “Theres now too much writing online, and in an era of fake news, where you

23、get your analysis from has never been more important. As newspapers and magazines are finding out, if you can publish writing that is consistently better than what can be found online, people will pay.”But many editors are struggling to strike the right balance between physical and digital content.

24、They are faced with the choice of either posting all their articles online for free so the magazine stays relevant, or charging readers money to protect the financial future of the brand.As Burrell points out, most readers are hungry for a deeper understanding of the fast-moving changes in global ne

25、ws and politics rather than seeking to escape from it by burying their heads in celebrity gossip and entertainment stories.Serious times call for serious journalism. While general-interest daily news has been turned into an almost universally available commodity(商品) by the Internet, specialist journ

26、alism is still a service people value and think they cant get elsewhere.25. What does Ian Burrell think of celebrity news?A. It should appear on magazines. B. It isnt worth analyzing.C.

Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Where Magazines Will Go in the Future B. What Makes Some Magazines DisappearC. How Magazines Are Survi

29、ving the Digital Age D. Why People Are Still Reading Fashion PublicationsCImitation(模仿) might be considered the sincerest form of flattery (恭维), but if you take it too far in a job interview you could be giving the wrong impression to a potential employer.Scientists have discovered too much imitatin

30、g in a job interview situation leaves an employer thinking you are incompetent, untrustworthy and not very likeable. Studies have shown that gentle imitation usually acts as a social glue in human relationships; it can promote trust.Two people who like each other will strengthen their bond by uncons

31、ciously imitating each others gestures in an unnoticeable way, such as leaning forward at the same time.But in recent years, imitation has been used as conscious approach by people who want to succeed in business. However, the new research suggests this could cost your reputation. The study was cond

32、ucted by the University of Californias psychology department.Piotr Winkielman, a professor of psychology at the university in San Diego, said, “Imitation is an important part of social intelligence. But it is not enough to simply know how to imitate. Its also important to know when and when not to.

33、The success of mirroring depends on mirroring the right people at the right time for the right reasons. Sometimes the socially intelligent thing to do is not to imitate.”The study asked people to watch several stage videotaped interviews, some of which featured a friendly interviewer while, in other

34、s, the same person was unapproachable. The people being interviewed in the videos imitated the interviewers simple gestures such as leg-crossing or chin-touching. Interviewees were then evaluated on their general competence, trustworthiness and likeability by participants. Despite the fact that the

35、participants were not instructed to watch for imitation and reported no awareness of it, it still influenced their evaluations. Interviewees who imitated the unfriendly boss were judged to be less competent than those who didnt and their unconscious mirroring was observed as an error.Professor Winki

36、elman added: “Its good to have the capacity to imitate. But an important part of social intelligence is knowing how to use this ability in a selective, intelligent, situation-dependent manner, and understanding, when mirroring can reflect badly on you.”29. If your imitation goes beyond limits in a j

37、ob interview, the interviewer may think you are A. incompetent.B. smart.C. trustworthy.D. unfriendly.30. What do Piotr Winkielmans words in Paragraph 5 mean?A. People should avoid using imitation in a job interview.B. People should know what social intelligence is.C. Proper imitation involves lots o

38、f factors.D. Imitation is very difficult to learn.31. What is the text mainly about?A. Imitation can promote trust in an interview.B. Body language is quite useful in an interview.C. Its not easy to imitate an interviewers behavior.D. Improper imitation in an interview may cause trouble.DWhat is the

39、 nature of the scientific attitude, the attitude of the man or woman who studiesand applies physics, biology, chemistry, geology, engineering, medicine or any other science?We all know that science plays an important role in our societies. However, many peoplebelieve that our progress depends on two

40、 different aspects of science. The first aspect is theapplication of the machines, products and systems of knowledge that scientists and technologistsdevelop. The second is the application of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work.What are these special methods o

41、f thinking and acting? First of all, it seems that a successful scientist is curious- he wants to find out how and why the universe works. He usually paysattention to problems which he notices have no satisfying explanation, and looks for relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnect

42、ed. Moreover, he thinks he can improve the existing conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves.He is a good observer, accurate, patient and objective and uses the facts he observes to the fullest. For example, trained observers obtain a very large amount of information ab

43、out a starmainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum（光谱）.He does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available. He rejects authority as the only basis for truth. Scientists always check statements and makeexperiments carefully

44、and objectively.Furthermore, he does not readily accept his own idea, since he knows that man is the leastreliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation.Lastly, he is full of imagination since he often has to look for relationships in data whi

45、ch arenot only complex but also frequently incomplete. Furthermore, he needs imagination if he wants to guess how processes work and how events take place.These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technologist thinks and acts.32. Which of the following statements about a c

46、urious scientist is TRUE?A. He shows interest in condition-improving.B. He feels like exploring potential connections.C. He focuses on the problems with no reasonable explanations.D.
