第三节：阅读理解
A
I’m usually fairly doubtful about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was shocked by a report which concluded that today’s children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s In fact, the analysis showed, normal children aged 9 to 17 show a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.
Why are America’s kids so stressed? The report provides two main causes: increasing physical separation – brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community among other thins – and a growing opinion that the world is a more dangerous place.
Given that “ we can’t turn the clock back”, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation.
At the top of the list is nurturing （培养） a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress.
To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can turn off TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for face-to-face relationships, and they will get more sleep.
Limit the amount of virtual violence your children are exposed to. It’s not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.
Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attend Harvard or Yale.
Make exercise part of your daily work. It will help you deal with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesn’t have to ruin your life.
The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about people’s state of mind are ____.
A. correct
B. unbelievable
C. false
D. questionable
2. What does the author mean by saying “we can’t turn the clock back” in the third paragraph?
A. It’s impossible to slow down the pace of change.
B. The social reality children are facing cannot be changed.
C. Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.
D. It’s impossible to forget the past.
3. The most important thing parents should do to help their children is ________.
A. to provide them with a safer environment
B. to lower their expectations for them
C. to get them more involved socially
D. to set a good model for them to follow
4. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?
A. Why America’s kids feel stressed today.
B. Problems of American society.
C. Remove children’s anxiety with more parents’ care.
D. Children suffer more anxiety than adults.

To make an estimate means to guess the number of things in a group or guess a measurement of some kind, it sometimes means to make a calculation about the future which is based not on exact data but on past experience. This kind of estimate has some basis, but it generally has to be changed and corrected later.
When you estimate a number, a temperature, or a weight, you do not count things one by one or use a measuring tool. You look at a group of things without counting them and try to get a rough idea of their number, or you try to weigh something in your hand instead of on a balance. You feel hot and say “My temperature must be 38 degrees” or you look at a room and say that you estimate its area as 10 × 8 feet.
But in many situations in ordinary life we do not have time to measure things and must depend on estimates. Drivers do not have time to measure the distance between their own car and a car which is coming near. They must guess it. The guess or estimate will be based on their past experience. Experienced cooks do not trouble to measure the amount of salt they put into the soup or sugar they mix with flour.
Suppose a man comes into the house and says “There are two inches of snow on the road”. His statement is only an estimate, but we believe it because we think that it is roughly correct. We put our boots on before we go into the snow.
For practical purposes in some situations it is safe to make estimates of quantity, but in other situations it is obviously dangerous. If it is your job to weigh drugs or make airplanes, do not depend on guessing but use an accurate instrument.
5. The writer suggests that in our daily life the estimate of a value or an amount is_______.
A. corrected by further data
B. checked by instruments
C. taken as true unless further data show otherwise
D. made by a measuring
6. Why don’t people always use measuring instruments in everyday life according to the passage?
A. People generally do not carry them along.
B. It is more convenient to guess than to measure.
C. They are not always ready when you need them.
D. A general idea of things is enough.
7. When the man says “There are two inches of snow on the road”, he means________.
A. it’s snowing heavily
B. there is only a little snow on the road
C. his estimate is quite exact
D. he has measured the level of the snow

For almost two months Dominic York, a 23-year-old hairdresser, wandered about hospitals all night, wearing a white coat and pretending he was a doctor. Yesterday he proudly claimed in court that despite his complete lack of medical experience or qualifications, he had saved several people’s lives. He had even been allowed to assist a surgeon during an emergency operation on a patient who was about to die on something she had swallowed.
“I watched one of those TV dramas about a hospital and suddenly I felt like playing one of the roles myself. So I put on a white jacket and a stethoscope (听诊器) and walked around one of the biggest hospital in London. At first I just watched. Once you learn how doctors talk to patients, nurses and other doctors, it’s easy to take people in,” he said.
