Six people are talking about the newly-built garden on the roof of their building.
Jasmine: I loved the idea when Wilber first told me about it. We had lots of meetings with our neighbors, trying to make them understand why it’s good to build a garden on the roof. Now people love coming here, and we have made a lot of friends!
Wilber: The whole thing wasn’t easy at first. But Jasmine helped a lot. And she was
really good at making people happy to donate (捐赠) money for the roof garden.
David: My kids love going up there. They sit there watching butterflies and birds. The roof garden brings them closer to nature.
Samuel: You want something green? Visit the park! It’s only one block away! After the roof garden was built, small insects started flying into my room! And the kids leave mud on the stairs when they come down from the roof!
Rosie: Our building is now cooler in the summer. My baby sleeps well even on hot summer days!
Flora: Guess where these tomatoes are from! Not from the supermarket. They’re from our roof! It’s wonderful, isn’t?
21. Who dislikes the roof garden?

Small talk is a popular way of getting to know someone, getting into a school or job, or just passing the time. But do you think you're good at it? And do you even know how to do it? If not, then it’s never too late to learn. The art of small talk is the art of talking about unimportant things like the weather. So why should you find it important?
It's completely free. It doesn't matter if you fail, and you never know where it will go. “It can lead to many results，from a pleasant exchange to the signing of a million dollar business deal”，according to Brett Nelson in Forbes Magazine. The good things to small talk don't stop there. It can also make us smarter, as a study by researchers at the University of Michigan found that friendly, social communication could help us solve problems.
You may be wondering how best to break this ice. Weather is probably the number one thing that people who do not know each other will discuss. Sports news is also a very common topic, especially if a local team or player is doing extremely well or badly. And if you and the other speaker have something in common, that may also be acceptable to talk about. For example, if the bus you are on is full, you might talk about the reasons why.
Complimenting (恭维)someone on their clothing or hair is acceptable; however, you should probably not say anything — good or bad一about a person's body. Basically, any subject that makes the other person give a deep-thought answer is not welcome. If you bring up something like death, religion, politics, for serious opinions, you will turn people off.
24. The 2nd paragraph is mainly about .
A. the topics of small talk B. the advantage of small talk
C. the art of small talk D. the development of small talk
25. Which is the first choice for strangers to break the ice?
A. Sport B. Clothing. C. Weather D. Music
26. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means people will .
A. feel interested in your talk B. get tired of your talk
C. quarrel with you for your talkD. be grateful for your talk
27. Which part of a magazine might this text belong to?
A. Science & Technology B. Travel Around the World.
C. Modern Fashion. D. Social Communications.
C
One of our worst nightmares as a parent is finding out that our teenager has started smoking or taking drugs.Usually our first reaction is to be angry，but most of us can remember what it was like when we were at school and just how powerful peer(同龄人)pressure can be.Once we are faced with such a case，we ought to be understanding and supportive and should try to help our children through the problems.
Many teenagers are attracted to drugs at some stage in their life and research shows that as many as 15% of all teenagers have tried drug taking of some sort during their young lives.Besides the usual peer pressure and the constant need to be“cool”or to have“fun”，many teenagers are simply curious about the excitement or“high”they can achieve from taking drugs.That excitement is doubled by the simple fact that they are doing something illegal that we as parents would consider dangerous.
On a more serious note，they might be getting into drugs as an escape.Perhaps they are unhappy at school or there have been recent changes at home that may have unsettled them.In this case，drug taking can be more worrying as they may start to rely on it as a form of escapism and start to take drugs more regularly.
If you think your child might be smoking or taking drugs，it's best to deal with it straight away.It's easy to turn a blind eye and sweep_the_issues_under_the_carpet in the hope that they'll gradually stop，but without your intervention(干预)，the problem may not disappear.
28.When parents find that their children are smoking or taking drugs，they should________.
A．help them out of the addiction
B．punish them severely
C．talk about it with their teachers
D．let them stay at home and not go to school
29.Which of the following is NOT a reason why teenagers try taking drugs?
A．They are under great peer pressure.
B．They think it is cool to take drugs.
C．They want to stay slim.
D．They are unhappy at school.
30.What can be inferred from the text?
A．Children whose parents take drugs are more likely to take drugs.
B．Most students are unhappy at school.
C．Children are curious about things they should not do.
D．Children who take drugs will gradually stop themselves.
31.What does the underlined phrase，“sweep the issues under the carpet”in the last paragraph mean?
A．To punish somebody severely.
B．To take quick action.
C．To persuade somebody patiently.
D．To put off dealing with the matter.

The other day, my sister and I were sitting in the restaurant, trying to have a conversation, but her children, four-year-old Willow and seven-year-old Luca, would not stop fighting. The arguments-over a fork, or who had more water in a glass-never stopped.
Then my sister reached into her handbag, produced two shiny iPads, and handed one to each child. Suddenly, the two were quite. They sat playing games and watching videos, and we continued with our conversation.
After our meal, as my sister stuffed the iPads back into her bag, she said, “I don’t want to give them the iPads at the dinner table, but if they keep them occupied for an hour so we can eat in peace, I often just hand them over. I am afraid that it’s bad for them. I do worry that it makes them think it’s OK to use electronics at the dinner table in the future.”
Dr. Gary Small, director of the Longevity Center at the University of California, Los Angeles says that the brain is highly sensitive to stimuli（刺激物），like iPads and smartphone screen, and if people spend too much time on one technology, and less time interacting（互动）with people like parents at the dinner table, that could prevent the development of certain communication skills.
“Conversations with each other are the way children learn to have conversations with themselves, and learn how to be alone,” said Sherry Turkle, a professor of science, technology and society at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She fears that children who do not learn real interactions, which often have imperfections, will come to know a world where perfect, shiny screens give them a false sense of intimacy（亲密）without risk. However, they need to be able to gather themselves and know who they are. So someday they can form a relationship with another person without a panic of being alone. “If you don’t teach your children to be alone, they will only know how to be lonely,”she said.
25. What did Willow and Luca fight about?
A. iPads. B. Little things. C. Delicious food. D. Interesting things.
26. How did the author’s sister feel about offering children iPads?
A. She was critical of it.
B. She felt it was worth a try.
C. She was uncertain about it.
D. She felt surprised at its effect.
27. According to Dr. Small, what should parents do?
A.Provide their children with various technologies.
B.Teach their children communication skills.
C. Talk to their children at the dinner table.
D. Limit their children’s screen time.
28. What is Sherry Turkle worried?
A. Children are afraid of taking risks.
B. Children try to escape from the real world.
C. Children can’t live without electronic devices.
D. Children can’t deal with companion-less situations.
