2019年6月CET4阅读理解练习(9)
Everyone has good days and bad days.Sometimes，you feel as if you're on top of the world and all the questions on your maths test might seem easy.But occasionally you feel horrible，and you lose things and you cannot focus on your schoolwork.
For more than 20 years，scientists have suggested that high selfesteem(自尊)is the key to success.Kids who feel good about themselves，said scientists，do better in school and have fewer emotional(情感的)and behavioral problems than kids who have a low opinion of themselves.
Now new research shows that focusing just on building selfesteem can bring bad results if it makes you less likeable or more upset when you fail in something.
“Forget about selfesteem，” says Jennifer Crocker，a psychologist at the University of Michigan，US.“It's not the most important thing.”
Crocker's advice may sound a bit strange because it is good to feel good about yourself.
Studies show that people with high selfesteem are less likely to be depressed，anxious，shy，or lonely than those with low selfesteem.
But，after reviewing about 18 000 studies on selfesteem，Roy Baumeister，a psychologist at Florida State University，has found that building up your selfesteem will not necessarily make you a better person.
He believes that violent and wicked(邪恶的)people often have the highest selfesteem of all.He also said，“There is no evidence that kids with high selfesteem do better in school.”
All types of people have problems.People with high selfesteem can have big egos(自我)that can make them less likeable to their peers(同龄人)，said Kathleen Vohs.She is a professor of marketing science and consumer psychology at the University of British Columbia in Canada.
People with high selfesteem tend to think more of themselves，Vohs says.People with low selfesteem are more likely to rely on their friends when they need help.
1. By saying “Everyone has good days and bad days.” at the beginning of the passage，the author means “______”.
A. everybody has the chance to succeed in doing something
B. everybody would feel good and sometimes feel terrible
C. luck plays a key point in people's lives
D. people all over the world are actually equal to have the chance to win
2. New research about selfesteem is different from old research on the point that______.
A. it has a bad effect on people's feelings
B. it is not so helpful for people to succeed
C. it only makes people less likeable or more upset
D. it often makes you fail at something
3. According to Roy Baumeister and Kathleen Vohs，______.
A. violent and wicked people did better when they were young in school
B. a better person is usually one who has low selfesteem
C. high selfesteem people often do what they like without considering others' feelings
D. most people with highesteem will end up in crime
参考答案及解析
【答案】 (1)B (2)B (3)C
【解析】(1)这句话后面的内容阐释了这句话的含义：自我感觉良好的时候一切都尽在掌握中，感觉不好的时候则会显得一切都不尽如人意。
(2)“ Studies show that people with high selfesteem are less likely to be depressed，anxious，shy，or lonely than those with low selfesteem”和“...，Roy Baumeister，...has found that building up your selfesteem will not necessarily make you a better person.”是两个关于自尊的研究，后一个与前一个不同的是，它的研究结果表明，建立自尊并一定使人更加出色。
(3)“ violent and wicked people often have the highest selfesteem of all.”表明了Roy Baumeister的看法;Kathleen Vohs则认为，“People with high selfesteem tend to think more of themselves”。
2019年6月CET4阅读理解练习(10)
Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers.But last summer，Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son：suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents.“The door to his room is always shut.” Joanna noted.
Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14yearold daughter.“She used to cuddle up(蜷缩)with me on the sofa and talk，” said Mark.“Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something.Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady.The problem is figuring out which time is which.”
Before age 11，children like to tell their parents what's on their minds.“In fact，parents are first on the list，” said Michael Riera，author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers.“This completely changes during the teen years，” Riera explained.“They talk to their friends first，then maybe their teachers，and their parents last.”
Parents who know what's going on in their teenagers' lives are in the best position to help them.To break down the_ wall_ of_ silence，parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say，and try to find ways to talk and write to them.And they must give their children a mental break，for children also need freedom，though young.Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend，not a manager，with their children is a better way to know them.
1. “The door to his room is always shut” suggests that the son ______.
A. is always busy with his studies
B. doesn't want to be disturbed
C. keeps himself away from parents
D. begins to dislike his parents
2. What troubles Tina and Mark most is that ______.
A. their daughter isn't as lovely as before
B. they can't read their daughter's mind exactly
C. they don't know what to say to their daughter
D. their daughter talks with them only when she needs help
3. Which of the following best explains “the wall of silence” in the last paragraph?
A. Teenagers talk a lot with their friends.
B. Teenagers do not want to understand their parents.
C. Teenagers do not talk much with their parents.
D. Teenagers talk little about their own lives.
参考答案及解析
【答案】 (1)C (2)B (3)C
【解析】(1)从“he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents”可知，儿子总是关着房门是为了避开父母，不想和他们说话。
(2)从“Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady.The problem is figuring out which time is which.”可知，令他们感到困惑的是他们不知道什么时候该把她当成人看待，什么时候把她当小孩。也就是说，他们不懂女儿的心思。
(3)文中提到，正是因为父母与子女之间隔着一堵“沉默的墙”，所以通过“create chances to understand what their children want to say，and try to find ways to talk and write to them”可以实现父母与子女的有效沟通。由此可判断这堵“沉默的墙”是指子女不愿与父母对话。
