1. What parenting style is right for you? Parental Guidance’s expert Dr Justin Coulson breaks down each way you can raise your kids.
Attachment parenting
This is about the parent and the child being as close as possible physically and emotionally. Attachment parenting is usually for babies and young children just learning to walk.
French parenting
French parenting is about allowing adults to live their adult lives while encouraging children to be children, but not interfere (妨碍) with the adults’ lives.
The expectation on children is that if they’re going to interfere, they need to do it in a mature way that res
pects that the adults have lives to live. French parenting encourages children to do things on their own and also to have high expectations.
Helicopter parenting
Helicopter parents don’t want their children to suffer at all. They do things for their children that they can and ought to do for themselves, especially outside the home.
Free-range parenting
It’s about trusting your children and giving them the skills to find their limits. It’s a pushback against anxious, risk opposing parenting; against helicoptering, making-sure everything-is-OK parenting that so many of us fall victim to.
厦门英语Routine parenting
Routine parenting is all about arrangement and routine. It improves efficiencies. You get a lot done. Everything has its place and there's a place for everything. But it places high demands on the leader. And too much focus on routine can prevent new ideas, connection and fun.

2. Mike Leach, the bad-tempered and pioneering college football coach who helped completely chang
e the passing game with the Air Raid offense (进攻), died from a heart condition at the age of 61. “Mike was a giving and attentive husband, father and grandfather. He was able to take part in organ donation at UMMC as a final act of charity,” the family said in a statement.
In 21 seasons as a head coach at Texas Tech, Washington State and Mississippi State, Leach went 158-107. His impact on all levels of football—from high school to the NFL—over the last two decades runs deep and will continue for years to come. Mississippi State President Mark Keenum said, “His passing brings great sadness to our university, to th e Southeastern Conference, and to all who loved college football.”
Leach’s teams were continuing winners at programs where success did not come easy. And his quarterbacks put up massive passing statistics, running a relatively simple offense called the Air Raid that he did not invent but certainly mastered.
“You have to make choices and limit what you’re going to teach and what you’re going to do. That’s the hard part,” Leach told the AP about the Air Raid’s economical playbook. After years of questions abo ut whether Leach’s spread offense could be successful in the nation’s most talented football conference, the Bulldogs set an SEC record for yards passing in his very first game against defending national champion LSU.
In 1987, he broke into college coaching at Cal Poly, but it was at Iowa Wesleyan where he found his muse. Head coach Hal Mumme had invented the Air Raid while coaching high school in Texas. At Iowa Wesleyan, with Leach as offensive coordinator (协调者), it began to take hold and completely change the way football was played.
From then, the Air Raid spread like wild and became the noticeable way offense was run in the Big 12.

4. What is the purpose of this text?
A．To explain passing skills. B．To encourage donations.
C．To honour Mike Leach. D．To introduce Hal Mumme.
3. The word “art” usually evokes (唤起) images of white-walled galleries, abstract paintings costing millions of dollars and wealthy people, far removed from our everyday experience. Yet, art in 21st century is a different story.
The Internet has weakened the idea that art appreciation is only for the rich, It has enabled more people than ever to have access to art. Netizens are not only consumers of art but creators and participants, too. The social media has made it much easier to share unprofessional work with the whole world. An unprofessional artist can now sell work or get advertising money from online videos.
“A picture is worth a thousand words” is the motto of data visualisation (可视化) fans. The amount of information available today can be huge, so some people are working on presenting data using visually appealing diagrams that are easy for the public to understand. Of course, diagrams can also be used by dishonest people to mislead the audience, so we need to take care to interpret them the right way.
Another way that art advances education is by enabling us to understand concepts that are invisible to the naked eye. For most biology students, the names and functions of dozens of proteins go in one ear and out the other, but unforgettable videos like “The Inner Life of the Cell” turn proteins into tiny people with differen t jobs in a city of large machinery. The same goes for concepts in physics such as black holes- we can understand them better with the help of artists who have backgrounds in both art and science.
Even though most people may not be consciously aware of it, art is all around us. As most of our surrounding environment is man-made, everything in it contains some element of art and can influence our behaviour—telling us where to go or how to interact with objects, feeding us true or false information and controlling our emotions. Art indeed has a greater impact than many would believe it does.

A．How the Internet provides service for the rich.
B．How the Internet brings art closer to everyone.
C．How netizens can contribute to art.
D．How people appreciate and use art.
2. What’s the author s attitude towards using diagrams in paragraph 3? A．Optimistic. B．Disapproving. C．Objective. D．Indifferent.
3. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A．Videos turn proteins into tiny people.
B．Videos explain concepts better than pictures.
C．Art helps students understand some concepts.
D．Art helps artists have more backgrounds.
4. Which of the following best describes art in the 21st century?
A．Accessible and powerful. B．Abstract and graceful.
C．Expensive and digital. D．Traditional and controversial.
4. For most of human history, people raised crops and livestock to feed their households rather than to sell them for profit. This began to shift after the Industrial Revolution, which saw the rise of plantation farming.
Industrial farming not only increased the crop-growing areas, but changed the techniques used by farmers. Instead of switching the crops that were grown on a field each year, entire plantations would be devoted to a single crop. This approach and intensive modes of farming led to destruction of local biodiversity and land worsening-within years, fields would cease to produce crops.
Plantations of the 18th and 19th centuries were a “get rich quick plan” r ather than a long- term investment. Once a field became unusable, plantation owners would simply move on to new land. Up to the end of the 19h century, wide areas of our planet were still not claimed by global modernity. But today, while we are quickly running out of vegetative (覆盖植被的) land, this mindset continues. “Farmers still hold the view that land is cheap and limitless,” said Crystal Davis from the World Resources Institute. “Most of them just cut down more trees, when new land is needed.”
“To meet o ur ecological goals, we need to stop turning natural ecosystems to farmland,” Davis said. “We can achieve this in part by bringing back the land’s ecological wholeness and productivity.”
Davis points to the 20×20 initiative (倡议), which has seen 18 South American and Caribbean countries commit to recovering 50m hectares of land by 2030. It includes a number of projects aimed at introducing agroforestry (混农林业) practices to cocoa and
coffee farms in Colombia and Nicaragua. There farmers are encouraged to grow crops while introducing more trees to their land.

4. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A．How Can We Take up Farming? B．How Can We Feed the World? C．Meeting Our Ecological Goals D．Shifting to Regenerative Agriculture

5. Water is closely related to our lives, and it is an inseparable part of us. Studies show that drinking enough water fights off health problems. 1
Help you lose weight. Some research has suggested that drinking plenty of water can help you burn calories. 2 Both hunger and tiredness might be signs of dehydration (脱水), as are headaches.
Protect against cancer and heart disease. Water helps convey nutrients (营养物), hormones and proteins around the body, and “messages” to the nervous system. Water also cleans our liver, kidney and bladder. In fact, a US study found that men who drank six 250 ml glasses of water a day halved their risk of bladder cancer, while another study suggested that women who drink more water cut their risk of colon cancer by up to 45 percent. 3
