D.looks
解析:选D。由上文“...twin sons.”以及“The two boys looked like each other.”可知,他们外表看起来很像。
2.A.hobbies
B.habits
C.characters
D.dreams
解析:选C。由下文“One was extremely optimistic(乐观的),while the other was extremely pessimistic(悲观的).”可知他们的性格迥异。
3.A.generally
B.exactly
C.honestly
D.seriously
解析:选B。“完全相反”是“不同”的一种情况,从different到just opposite是进一步说明如何“不同”,故可知此处是“确切地说”。
4.A.check
B.develop
C.change
D.correct
解析:选C。由下文可知,爸爸的做法是试图改变双胞胎的性格,让他们的性格都变得更好。
5.A.new
B.bad

D.used
解析:选A。由下文“They will get dirty if I play with them.”可知,悲观的孩子担心自己玩过玩具之后,玩具就变脏了,可推断,爸爸买的玩具是新的。

9.A.studying
B.laughing
C.kissing
D.sleeping
解析:选B。由上文可知,两个孩子的性格是相反的,所以这个爸爸打算实施“改造”,而改造后的结果也应是相反的,根据下文“the optimistic one was crying”可推知,乐观的孩子在哭,那悲观的孩子就应该是在笑了。
10.A.gradually
B.specially
C.really
D.finally
解析:选C。由下文,这个爸爸看到原本悲观的那个孩子后连发出的两个问题“Why are you crying?Why don’t you play with these toys?”可知,事实情况并未改变,这肯定是让他很吃惊,所以选择“really”。
11.A.smile
B.anger

A part-time job can build kids’
skills,make good use of their spare time,and fill their pockets.But before your teen goes to work,here’s what you both need to know to avoid any accidents.
Do your homework.Before your teen says
“yes” to a job,find out as much as you can about the possible employer and the workplace.For example,if it’s a restaurant,stop in for dinner or lunch; if it’s a supermarket,shop there sometimes.Take note of how the manager treats the employees and whether safety measures (安全措施) are being followed.
Know the laws.Explain laws to your teen so he will know if he is asked to do anything unsuitable (like working beyond allowed hours).Go to youthrules.dol.gov/states.htm for more information.
Set up your own rules.Don’t just rely on the law.You may need to be stricter.Even if it’s legal for your teen to work until 7 p.m.on a school night,for example,you may want him home by 6 p.m.so he’s not driving after dark.
________________.Your teen may not tell you how things are going-you’ll have to pull it out of him.“How was work today?” is likely to produce a meaningless answer “Fine”.Instead,ask,“Does the manager ever ask you to work after you clock out?” Or,“How closely does your manager watch to make sure you do things the right way?” You need to know whether a kid who was hired to do something innocuous has been asked to do something risky.Sad stories are often heard from parents who say,“When my teen got this job,she was hired as an assistant waiter.I didn’t know they’d put her in the back using a slicing machine (切片机)”.
【解题导语】 如何保证青少年从事兼职工作时的安全?作者对此向家长提出了一些建议。
31.For whom is the text mainly written?
A.Students.
B.Lawyers.
C.Parents.
D.Teachers.
解析:选C。读者对象题。通读全文可知,全文是写给父母的。文中多次出现的your teen是提示。

A.learn how to take safety measures
B.do some research about the right job for them
C.make sure they have finished their homework
D.develop a friendly relationship with the employer
解析:选B。推理判断题。根据第二段可知,在孩子决定去某个地方兼职之前,父母应该对孩子的工作做一些调查。homework也有“准备性工作”的意思,在这里相当于research。
33.Which of the following is the most suitable to fill in the blank?
A.Ask leading questions
B.Follow your teens
C.Talk with bosses
D.Know what the job is
解析:选A。推理判断题。末段主要讲述了家长需要有技巧的关心和询问孩子的工作如何,避免工作中意外情况的出现,故A为正确答案。
