(原创)Parents who can't help but tell their children they are beautiful may actually be harming their confidence, according to women's minister Jo Swinson.
Ms Swinson says seemingly harmless ments about the hair, looks or clothes of one of their children could send the negative message that looks are the most important thing in life.
The 33yearold woman, who does not have any children, said mothers should also be careful when plaining or boasting_about their looks in front of their children for the same reason.
Instead, Ms Swinson said parents should praise their children's intelligence and other positive qualities to help them succeed in life.
In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Ms Swinson said: “I know as an aunt, you fall into the trap of turning to your niece and saying, ‘you look beautiful’ — because of course all children do look beautiful — but if the message they get is that is what is important and that is what gets the most praise, then that's necessarily the most positive message you want them to hear.”
She added that instead praising them for skills like an ability to do a jigsaw(拼图), or positively menting on their inquisitive (好问的)nature was a healthier way to improve their selfconfidence.
According to a survey, a quarter of all children are unhappy about their appearance, while more than 70 per cent of girls feel that there is too much of a focus on the attractiveness of famous women.
She added: “It's not like saying looks don't matter at all. If you're going for an interview, you will dress *** artly and look the part, that is absolutely fine, but it's just the level to which this bees the ultimate focus of everything.”
She added that when children see their parents plaining about their weight or asking their children's opinion on their appearance it teaches them that appearance is important.
1. What do you know about Jo Swinson?
A. She is single.
B. She is childless.
C. She is attractive.
D. She is overweight.
2. The underlined phrase “boasting about” means ______.
A. arguing excitedly about
B. worrying sadly about
C. talking proudly about
D. dealing carefully with
3. According to Ms Swinson, parents should praise their children for their ______.
A. good thinking ability
B. pretty appearance
C. attractive clothes
D. fashionable hair
4. According to a survey, ______.
A. 80% of girls focus on the attractiveness of famous women
B. 50% of children think they are beautiful
C. 30% of girls hope they can bee famous women
D. 25% of children are not satisfied with their appearance
5. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Good appearance helps children succeed in life.
B. Good appearance prevents children from succeeding in life.
C. Telling children they are beautiful may be harmful.
D. Telling children they are beautiful may be helpful.

Students Seek Relief as Finals Approach
For college students everywhere, no other period is quite as stressful as the end of the academic semester.
“No matter what university you attend, you will feel the stress of finals week, because you know what you're going through.” says Kaylee Merchak, a MMC(Marymount Manhattan College) junior.
To ease the burden, most colleges will adjust the standard academic calendar to allow students some of the extra time that finals require.
During the finals period, the library also extends its hours past their usual schedule. As of December 9, the library will be open Monday through Thursday until midnight, and it is open until 10：00 p．m. on Fridays. The weekend hours will also be extended from 10：00 a．m. to 6：00 p．m. on Saturdays and 12：00 p．m. to 9：00 p．m. on Sundays.
The expansion of the library's hours is very helpful for students during the end of the semester. “I think it's a good idea that the library extends their hours during finals week，” says Merchak. “I know a lot of students work in the library and that allows them to work longer and increases their likelihood of success.”
Brian Rocco, Director of the Library, also says that students are still able to access the online resources that they have to offer. “Our ‘virtual’ library is open 24/7，” he continues. “With an Inter connection, you can access our extensive ebook and ejournal collection anytime, anywhere.”
Whatever your major, the end of the semester can be a stressful time for everyone.
To survive this busy time, you should not only budget your time wisely, but also stay focused. May the odds be ever in your favor!

All around the world, more and more people are donating their time to take part in online volunteering projects. What motivates them to help strangers without expectation of money or even thanks?
Radha Taralekar helped teach Imelda how to protect herself from HIV, though the two have never met, and neither knows the other's name. From her home in Mumbai, the young woman took several weeks to write a guide especially for Imelda — who lost her children to HIV/Aids in Uganda. Taralekar received no payment for the job. Taralekar is one of a number of talented people who regularly donate their time online. But what is driving them to help total strangers, while asking for nothing in return? For Taralekar, the project gave her the chance to use her professional experience. “I want to serve people with my medical knowledge，” she says.
For some, the inspiration to volunteer online was far more personal. After losing his wife to cancer, Tony Selman spent many hours online helping Cancer Research to collect data on the disease. “Seeing how painful she was when my wife was dying, I determined to help scientists find a cure for cancer，” he says.
Interests and hobbies are also one of the factors. In 2011 Sam Luk, a designer, joined other online volunteers to try to help the police solve a murder case. Twelve years earlier the body of Ricky McCormick had been found killed in a field in St Louis, Missouri — the only clues being two encoded(译成密码)letters found in his pockets. Unable to decipher(破译)the codes, the police posted them online, calling for volunteers to help them make sense of the messages. “I'm interested in patterns and I love Sherlock Holmes，” says Luk. He spent hours every week trying to decrypt the notes, but the case remains unsolved to this day.
For writer Clay Shirky, some large online volunteering projects benefit millions of people, giving him a sense of achievement and generosity. He helps write Wikipedia, the world's biggest encyclopaedia(网上百科全书), which is written entirely by people willing to donate their professional knowledge without any reward.
1. Which of the following is the best title?
A. What caused Taralekar to help Imelda?
B. What motivates people to help others?
C. Why do people help strangers online?
D. Where can we find volunteers online?
2. We can infer that Radha Taralekar is a ______.
A. designer B. doctor
C. writer D. policewoman
3. Sam Luk volunteered to help the police out of ______.
A. interests and hobbies
B. his duty of work
C. money rewards
D. a sense of achievement
4. When was Ricky McCormick found killed in a field in St Louis, Missouri?
A. In 1999. B. In 2008.
C. In 2011. D. In 2012.

Ⅳ.阅读填空(每空不超过三个单词)
Identity theft(身份盗用) is one of the fastestgrowing crimes. Identity theft is a crime in which your personal information is stolen by someone and is used in an illegal way. When your identity is stolen, the thief often does fraud(诈骗)with that. He may get a credit card in your name and spend it carelessly without paying the bills; he may get a driver's license in your name and you have to be responsible for the accidents he causes…
The popularity of the Inter and puters provides a gateway for the identity theft. The wealth of personal details people post on social works such as Facebook also makes it easier for identity thieves to obtain personal information.
Many people are not aware of the problems caused by this crime. They wake up from their carefree attitude only when they bee a victim and suffer the damages caused by this crime.
There is no cure for identity theft except prevention and this is why it is important that every person should bee cautious when using the Inter. The following tips may prevent you from identity theft.
First, make sure your puter has an updated antivirus and firewall system installed. Second, only enter your credit card details on secure sites, or websites that you've used before. Third, avoid giving away too much personal information on social working sites. Your date of birth, names of schools attended, phone number or the names of your parents are often required to verify an identity, and thieves can use this information too. Fourth, avoid sharing files as this gives other people access to your hard drive. Fifth, never open suspicious emails from unknown source. Last but not least, create plex passwords using a bination of numbers and keyboard symbols and change your passwords on a regular basis.

(2013•江西) The light from the campfire brightened the darkness, but it could not prevent the damp cold of Dennis's Swamp (沼泽地) creeping into their bones. It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack's dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp.
“So，” Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. “How did this place get its name？”
“Are you sure you want to hear it? It's a scary story，” warned Jack.
“Of course！” cried out Tom. “If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn't have chosen this place！”
“OK, but don't say I didn't warn you，” said Jack, and he began this tale.
Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite different — it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystalclear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.
You are clearing too much land, warned one old man. The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it.
Silly fool, said Dennis to himself. If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I'll bee wealthier. He's just jealous!
“Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.”
“What happened？” Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire.
“The land hit back — just as the old man warned，” Jack shrugged. “Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found.”
“What a stupid story，” laughed Tom. “Plants can't…” Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted (晕倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Tom's face. It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.

Ⅳ.阅读简答
(2014•雅礼高三月考一) David Jones is probably not somebody you want to hang out with. Not because he isn't a cool person, but because he is living with 40 deadly snakes.
Jones is living in a room for 121 days with more than three dozen constrictors, green mambas, boomslangs and other deadly snakes in an attempt to set a Guinness world record. The record for most days spent confined to a room with this particular number of snakes is 113, set by Martin Smith in 2008.
“I am hoping people will realize that we can live with these fantastic creatures without fearing and killing them. People e and see me here and are constantly amazed at how I am interact with these animals. The snakes are not restrained in any way and make the full use of the entire room including my bed, shower and toilet，” Jones explains. They mainly hide out in cupboards or on the various makeshift (临时的)branches or bushes that Jones has in their shared quarters. Once a week, someone brings captured mice and rats to offer as a sacrifice to the snakes.
David Jones is forced to move the snakes with a “hook stick” throughout the day, so that he can do things like sitting at his desk or typing on his laptop, his only means of contacting the outside world.
The snakes often drop on his pillow or shoulders as he's trying to work or sleep, but there have so far been no instances of Jones being bitten by one of these deadly snakes. He said, “if I give them respect, we can live together happily.”
Jones is doing this for charity. All the money raised will go to a hospice(收容所) in his hometown of Crawley, near London.
