1、So the day I started my first job at the age of 14, I was 10 to show my father that I could do it well, and that I was not going to 11 . My entire 12 was to make my father proud of me. I knew that 13 I did, he would not say it in words, but he would show it. My first job was doing 14 for a company.

2、As most of you know, construction is not an easy job, especially being so 15 . When someone as young as I started working, they would either 16 or get stronger. I got stronger. I worked the 17 I had been taught and I gave that day everything I had. In the end, my boss was 18 . He even called to tell

3、 my parents what a good worker I was, and my parents eyes 19 . From that day on I have worked every job to my full 20 _, because that day defined my life.

7、cularly for adolescents. Many young people get through the troubled years of adolescence and emerge into adulthood reasonably safe and sound. Too many youngsters, however, feel confused and ignored. Unable to climb out of the dilemma, these youngsters are socially and emotionally “at-risk”. They may

8、 suffer from such painful symptoms as anxiety, depression or anger.Many parents, in an honest attempt to help their adolescent from emotionally drowning, seek professional treatment. They put a great deal of faith in professional clinicians to find a way out for their child. However, many of these p

9、arents begin to recognize that solving the problem is more complex than they had initially realized. It has been my clinical experience that some parents who bring their resistant youngster for treatment see their child as being solely responsible for the problem. In many cases, the adolescent feels

10、 angry and defective for being pushed into treatment. We can gain some insight if we look at things through the eyes of the adolescent. The child is usually reluctantly brought by the parents to clinicians as what I call the “identified patient”. The youngster waits anxiously as the parents lay out

11、the problem with the clinicians with remarks such as, “I dont know whats happening to my child lately, but hes not his old self. He doesnt listen to me anymore, has been getting failing grades, acts out at school, and stays in his room all the time. Such descriptions at the beginning of treatment by

12、 the parents may strengthen feelings of incompetence on the part of the child. Such a pattern at the beginning sets up an intention of resistance and leaves the potential for a positive outcome at risk.What many parents fail to realize is that the adolescents problem serves as a symbol for what is h

13、appening within the family system. Unknowingly, a youngster may become rebellious or depressed as a way of attempting to calm the psychic pain experienced by his family. To some degree, the childs behavioral problems represent an effort to distract attention away from the unstable state within his f

14、amily. In such cases it represents a courageous attempt by the teen to minimize home-related problems. Eventually the problems become too troublesome for the child and he continues to sacrifice himself for the sake of the family. Many times youngsters go to clinicians in the hope that treatment will

15、 aid in healing the entire family system.In my clinical experience, I have found that the troubled adolescent is more likely to find emotional healing if the parents are actively involved in the treatment process. In such cases where family members are involved in treatment, the adolescents expectat

16、ion for change tends to improve. With parental involvement, the teen begins to feel more competent, as other family members take the risk to explore difficult family issues. 21. From the first paragraph, we can learn youngsters probably find adolescence _ A. particularly colorful and meaningful B. f

17、ull of various dangers and risksC. especially difficult to get through D. filled with anxiety and depression22. What causes a child to resist treatment when brought to clinicians? _A. The childs increased feelings of incompetence.B. Parents reluctantly bringing a child to clinicians.C. The parents i

18、nitial descriptions of the childs problems.D. The parents looking at things through the childs eyes. 23. Which of the following is NOT parents misunderstanding?A. Only their child is to blame for the problem.B. Their child is concerned about family harmonyC. Their troubled adolescent is a “identifie

19、d patient”D. Solely pushing their child into treatment is the best way outBHalf of the worlds population lives in areas affected by Asian monsoons（季风）, but monsoons are difficult to predict. American researchers have put together a 700-year record of the rainy seasons, which is expected to provide g

20、uidance for experts making weather predictions.Every summer, moist（潮湿的）air masses, known as monsoon, produce large quantities of rainfall in India, East Asia, Indonesia, Northern Australia and East Africa, which are pulled in by a high pressure area over the Indian Ocean and a low pressure area to t

21、he south.According to Edward Cook, a weather expert at Columbia University in New York, the complex nature of the climate systems across Asia makes monsoons hard to predict. In addition, climate records for the area date to 1950, too recent and not detailed enough to be of much use. Therefore, he an

22、d a team of researchers spent more than fifteen years travelling across Asia locating trees old enough to provide long-term records. They measured the rings（年轮）or circles, inside the trunks of thousands of ancient trees at more than 300 sites.Rainfall has a direct link to the growth and width of rin

23、gs on some kinds of trees. The researchers developed a documenta Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas（地图集）. It shows the effect of monsoons over seven centuries, beginning in the 1300s.Professor Cook says the tree-ring records show periods of wet and dry conditions. “If the monsoon basically fails or is very

24、weak one year, the trees affected by the monsoon at that location might put on a very narrow ring. But if the monsoon is very strong, the trees affected by that monsoon might put on a wide ring for that year. So, the wide and narrow ring widths of the tree chronology（年表）that we developed in Asia pro

25、vide us with a measure of monsoon variability. ” Armed with such a sweeping set of data, researchers say they now can begin to refine climate computer models for predicting the behavior of monsoons.“There has been widespread famine and starvation and human dying in the past in large droughts. And on

26、 the other hand, if the monsoon is particularly heavy, it can cause extensive flooding,” said Eugene Wahl, a scientist who is with Americas National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrations paleoclimate（古气侯）branch studying weather patterns over the history of the Earth. “So, to get a knowledge of wha

27、t the regional moisture patterns have been, dryness and wetness over such a long period of time in great detail, I would call it a kind of victory for climate science.”24. Whats the passage mainly about?AA breakthrough in monsoon prediction. BThe necessity of weather forecast.CThe achievements of Ed

28、ward Cook. DThe effects of Asian monsoons.25It is difficult for experts to predict Asian monsoons because_.Ait is hard to keep long-term climate recordsBthey are formed under complex climate systemsCthey influence many nationsDthere is heavy rainfall in Asia26What can be inferred from the passage?AT

29、he trees affected by monsoon grow fast if the monsoon is weak.BThe Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas has a monsoon record for about 1,300 years.CLong and detailed climate records can offer useful information for monsoon research.DThe rainfall might be low although the monsoon is strong in monsoon- affected areas.27According to Professor Cook, the rings of the trees_.Adetermine the re
