As their father, I often say things that are unpopular. If they hate me once in a while, I know Im doing a good job.There are three other words that I wont allow in my house, however. Last week, I was watching my older son play with a paper airplane. After he accidentally threw it into a wall and it came apart, his eyes welled up with tears.“I hate myself,” he said. It wasnt the first time hed said it, and I was concerned that hed started to actually believe it.I knelt down next to him and made him look into my eyes. I told him that I never wanted to hear those words again, and that he needed to respect himself.The difference between your kid telling you they hate you and them saying they hate themselves is that, five minutes later, theyve already forgotten they “hate you”. Self-hate is much more potentially poisonous and for young people, it can linger into the rest of their life.Kids who start to believe they hate themselves sometimes struggle to form new friendships. As teenagers, they avoid the chance to connect with a potential love interest, because they assume theyll be rejected. And as adults, they might choose not to apply for the dream job because they assume it wont work out.I know this is true, because I didnt have a high opinion of myself as a child. I found myself struggling in many areas, and Id hate to see my children suffer the same fate.Sometimes, words are just words. But some words can make the kind of impact Id very much like to avoid for my children. I dont fear strong language; I fear language that makes us weak.21How did the author feel on hearing his kids saying “I hate you”?ADepressed. BAnnoyed. CUnconcerned. DExcited.22Why wont the author allow the three words “I hate myself”?ABecause the impact of thinking in this way is negative.BBecause it hurts parents to hear their kids saying so.CBecause it doesnt make any sense to blame oneself.DBecause the impoliteness of saying so is unbearable.23Which of the following can replace the underlined word “linger” in paragraph 5?Acome to an end Bcontinue to exist Cbegin to change Dbecome out of date B Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures stress the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries, like the UK or France, people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafe rather than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion, instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values, however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.24The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that _.Atoo many words are of no useBthe English prefer to make long speechesCeven talk and silence can be culturally differentDpeople from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature25According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?ABy accepting different habits. BBy recognizing different values.CBy sharing different ways of life. DBy speaking each others languages.26What would be the best title for the text?ACross-Cultural Differences BMulticultural EnvironmentCHow to Understand Each Other DHow to Build Up a Relationship C Nowadays six Amazon Scout delivery robots rolled out in a pilot program in Snohomish County, Wash. The robots carry meals, groceries and packages to homes and offices in this region just north of Seattle. They have appeared on the sidewalks of London, Beijing and other cities and communities worldwide. These machines must overcome pedestrian legs, naughty dogs and broken pavement, which raises some questions.These services are gaining attraction as a growing number of city residents expect immediate or scheduled delivery for just about everything. Between 2017 and 2018 online retail sales in the U.S. increased by 16 percent. On the final step of all these deliveries, called the last mile, humans on bicycles, motorized scooters ( 电动车) or large delivery trucks typically deliver packages. All the vehicles compete for space on busy urban streets. “Deliveries are trending upwards in all crowded city centers, and if city and state leaders dont start thinking about creative solutions like robot deliveries, we can expect even worse traffic jams,” says Paul Mackie, director of a transportation policy research center in Arlington.A study by this center found 73 percent of delivery vehicles in Arlington were parked outside of authorized areas, often blocking bike lanes and crosswalks. By moving the last step of deliveries from the road to the sidewalk, cities could reduce traffic jams and solve the parking problem entirely, Mackie says.Companies such as Amazon are not developing this delivery technology simply to clear up urban traffic. Self-driving vehicles and sidewalk robots could cut down last-mile delivery costs in cities by as much as 40 percent, according to a 2018 report by a consultancy firm. A delivery robot can cost thousands of dollars to manufacture, and most currently require human management and conservation. But in the long run companies that use autonomous delivery vehicles in the next several years could end up saving billions of dollars, the report stated.27Why does Amazon introduce delivery robots ?ATo amuse its customers.BTo confirm the companys innovation spirit.CTo avoid pedestrians, dogs and broken pavement.DTo meet the increasing demand of delivering packages.28What does Paul Mackie mean by his words in paragraph 2?ARetail sales in the U.S. increased fast.BRobot can help ease the traffic pressure.CDeliveries stay steady in all crowded city centers.DRegardless of robot deliveries, traffic jams will remain the same.29What can robots delivery bring to the city?ALead to traffic traffic jams.BIncrease danger to pedestrians.CBlock bike lanes and crosswalks.DRelieve urban traffic as well as save delivery costs.30Which word can best describe the future of the robot delivery?AUncertain.BHopeless. CPromising.DUnacceptable.七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）How to be a good roommateRoommate horror stories are pretty popular topics of conversation at school.
