I remember being concerned about how she would handle the time difference when we traveled to Europe the summer after her kindergarten (幼儿园) year, but she hit the ground runn

18、ing. She woke early enough to catch the first train to Brussels. She wasnt afraid to try new food in Belgium or Greece. My 10-year-old son, however, is not a traveler. He feels comfortable in familiar places, and he is a picky eater.This past summer, my kids and I spent three weeks in Central Americ

19、a. My daughters eyes lit up when I told her about the trip; my sons filled with trepidation.I spent the month making preparation for our trip, finding ways to convince my son that he would have fun, and that wed be able to find him food that he would eat. My son loves animals, so I left magazines ly

20、ing around our house that were conveniently opened to stories on animals found in Central America. On our first day, we took a bus across Belize to the zoo, which my son loved. It seemed like a successful day until he cried through part of dinner. Exhaustion had gotten the best of him. Much like tha

21、t first day, the trip had highs and lows.I learned that making sure my son had enough sleep was the best way I could set us up for success. I made sure both kids had activities they were excited about. I didnt plan a schedule. This allowed us to plan our days based on how we were feeling. There were

22、 days that were not easy, but when I look through our pictures and find the one of us having just hiked up the Pacaya volcano, I know it was worth it.24.What does the author say about the authors daughter?A.

They experienced sufferings and happinessCYoure watching your favorite TV show when a commercial ( 广告) break starts. First you see an ad for candy. Then theres one for fast food. Your stomach growls ( 咕咕直叫

25、). Suddenly, all you can think about is how much you need a snack (小吃). If that sounds familiar, youre not alone. Researchers from McMaster University in Canada studied the effects of junk (垃圾) food ads. The researchers examined the effects of advertising junk food on more than 6,000 kids through TV

26、 commercials and other types of media (媒体). They found that kids made unhealthy food and drink choices as quickly as 30 minutes after seeing the ads.“There is too much unhealthy food advertising out there, “Says Behnam Sadeghirad. Hes one of the researchers who led the study. “This is dangerous for

27、younger children.”Food and drink ads are everywhere, from TV to the Internet. Companies want to make sure you know about their products. They spend nearly $1.8 billion a year on food ads aimed at kids, according to a report. The Nielsen Company tracked the number of food ads that kids saw in 2015. I

28、t found that kids watched nearly 12 food ads on TV each day. Most of these ads werent for healthy foods. In fact, on average, kids saw only one ad per week for fruits and vegetables. Instead, most of the ads were for fast food, candy, and sugary drinks.Jennifer Harris, a professor at the University

29、of Connecticut, says this is a big part of the problem. “Unhealthy foods are not things we should be encouraging kids to eat more often,” Harris says. “But unfortunately those are the products being advertised to them the most.”Health experts say its OK to treat yourself to a cookie once in a while.

30、 But what can you do to keep from having an unhealthy snack every time you see an ad for junk food? Harris says its important to learn to spot the techniques companies use in their ads.“What kids can do is notice whats going on,” says Harris.“Think about, Are these the products that really are good

31、for me? ” 28. What did researchers from McMaster University find?A. Junk food ads can affect kids eating habits B. Eating while watching TV is unhealthy for kidsC.

Companies spend large amounts of money on ads30. What advice does Harris give in the last paragraph?A. Get wise to ads B. Stay away from cookiesC. Ne

33、ver see junk food ads D. Find products of good quality31. Whats the best title for the text?A. Attack of the ads B. Tricks of the tradeC. Advertising of junk food D. The effect of media on childrenDHave you ever heard the phrase “we just cant communicate”? Most people identify communication with the

34、 ability to read or write well. This might not be the case as you will soon find out.How many times have you been to the doctors office and listened to an educated professional explain something to you that just doesnt make any sense? These people keep asking you “Do you understand?”“Am I making mys

35、elf clear?” and sometimes out of embarrassment ( 尴尬) because you dont want to look like an idiot, you tell them “yes, I do understand.” This isnt a good way to communicate either.How do we communicate in a positive way to get our point across? Im going to share a secret that works time and time agai

36、n and some very successful communicators use this often. Ask the person you are communicating with if they understand what you just said. If someone is talking to you, then use the statement “Just to Make Sure That I Understand What You Just Said.” and then repeat back your understanding of their co

37、nversation.Sometimes just asking a few simple questions and clarifying (讲清楚) your understanding can bring great benefits to any communication. In some countries like Japan, for instance, you might find them reading your body language more than the words you are communicating with. Sometimes just the

38、 way someone stands or reacts to something you said can give you a valuable insight to what can be understood in the conversation. However, this could also lead to a misunderstanding. Again if you think someone understands how you are communicating with their body language, try not to assume (设想) th

39、at you know for a fact how they are reacting. Always ask them if they understand what youre talking about.A person is responsible for what he says and to make sure that the other person understands completely the point he is trying to get across. I dont know how many times I have mentioned something
