Paper 2
In a few years, most people will know that a healthy, happy, loving family is a joy and it is a necessary part for building a strong. But there are still some people who don’t believe family life can be an enjoyable experience.
Some people already accepted the idea of the “ me generation” so they fail to understand that there is a time in life when they have to give up their time to something more valuable.
At a time when adults need to think about the needs of their family, they will be doing other important things. Some people will spend too much time working for a more powerful car of a bigger house so that they can proudly say they have them. Some will be doing dangerous things so that they may tell their stories to their friends, and others will recite things like” I must become the best I can be “ or “ I don’t want to be at the bottom.” The needs of their family will be forgotten and they never seem to have time for the family.
Many people have not experienced a strong helpful perfect family life, so they have never found its worth. Many people have always experienced family life as a fight, so they can’t
find time and energy for work.
But it is really very important that we all expect good family relations. We need to realize and value the importance of what can be got by loving each other in the family. It is also important for our society to encourage family members to create happiness.
1. What does the writer expect family life to be like?
A. Happy experience B. A strong society C. Too much work D. A fight
2. What is meant by “ me generation”?
A. I will do whatever the family want me to do. B. Nothing is more important than myself.
C. They don’t live with the family.
D. They have never enjoyed family life
3. Why haven’t some people found the worth of family life? A. They are not married.
B. They grow in a happy family
C. They don’t live with family
D. They have never enjoyed family life
4. What is the writer’s purpose of writing the passage? A. To ask people to study family life
B. To tell people to work hard for the family
C. To advise people to create happy family life.
D. To give people some examples of family members.
II. Read and fill in the blanks,
“ Friends are the family you choose.” Do you know why? A new study by Yale University and the University of Calfornia San Diego can give us some explanations. Scientists studied the genes of almost 2,0000 people. Some of these people were friends. Others were simply strangers . Scientists found that friends had m____________________1____________________ genes in common than strangers.
Pairs of friends had similar genes as people do with a distant relative. This is about
1 percent of the human genome .
Although 1% may not s____________________2______________________________like music, to generations, it is an important number.
“ Most people don’t even know who their distant relatives are, yet we are somehow able to choose people who are l____________________3____________________ our relatives as friends.” Nicholas Christakis, a social scientist at Yale University told Live Science.
This might be because similar genes make people visit similar places, allowing them to
m ____________________4____________________-. Or similar genes mean people will have similar skills.
The most common gene that friends have is the “ olfactory” gene. It affects
a person’s sense of s______________________________5____________________.
Imagine that you and someone else both like the smell of trees. You may often visit a park. Therefore, you may likely meet that other person and become friends.
As a result of the study, scientist set an interesting test called the “friendship score”. The test can tell whether two people could be friends by s____________________6____________________ their genes.
Do you want to know who will be your friends with the help of the test?
III. Read the passage and answer the questions:
I was shopping in the supermarket when I heard the young voice. “Mom, come here! There is this lady here my size!”
The mother rushed to her son, then she turned to me to said “ sorry”.
I smiled and told her, “ It’s ok”. Then I talked to the boy, “ Hi, I’m Darry Kramer. How are you?”
He studied me from head to toe, and asked , “Are you a little mommy?” “Yes, I have son,” I answered.
“Why are you so little?” he asked.
“ It’s the way when I was born.” I said. ‘Some people are little. Some are tall. I am just not wanting to grow bigger.” After I answered his other questions, I shook the boy’s hand and left.
My life as a little person is filled with stories like that. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different like their parents. I stand 114 cm tall. I was born an
chondroplasia。
Despite this, I did all the things other kids did when I was growing up.
I didn’t realize how short I was until I started school. Some kids picked on me, calling me shame. Then I knew I began to hate the first day of school each year. New students would always look fixedly at me as I tried hard to climb the school bus stairs.
But I learned to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life. I decided to make my uniqueness an advantagesrather than a disadvantage. What I lacked in height, I made up for in personality.
I’m 47 now and people are surprised when they see me driving. I tried to keep a good attitude . When people are not polite enough. I say to myself. “look what else I have--- a great family, nice friends.”
It’s the children’s questions that make my life special. I enjoyed answering their questions. My hope is that, I will encourage them to accept the person around them whatever the size and sape they come in, and treat them in a friendly way.
1. Did the writer answer the boy’s questions in the supermarket?
2. How tall is the writer?
