“Helicopter parenting” describes a style of raising children where parents are over－protective and do too much.It describes parents who watch over their kids at home and on the playground like a helicopter.Today，modern technology allows these helicopter parents to watch over from even far away. 1

Julie Lythcott wrote a book titled Break Free of the Overparenting Trap and Prepare Your Kids for Success. In her book，she gives readers a closer look at this parenting style. 2

Julie Lythcott says she experienced the effects of “Helicopter parenting” first －hand when she worked as dean of first year students. 3 But many were unable to take care of themselves.They were turning to parents constantly for guidance，for problem solving，to have them make the choice about something.

So what can parents do if they want to break the overparenting “he licopter” cycle? 4

◆Stop saying “we” when you mean your son or your daughter.All too often a parent would say “we are on the travel soccer team”．Well，no，your son is or your daughter is.

◆ Stop arguing with all of the adults in our kids' lives.You need to teach your kids to advocate for themselves.

◆ Stop doing your kids' homework.

◆ 5 Teach them to cross the street，make a meal，and remember to put their own items in their backpacks，which becomes a briefcase one day.

When kids have all the skills to take care of themselves，they will be prepared for adulthood.

A. Four ways are offered to stop watching over your children.

B．She also explains why parents should stop it.

C．It's a good idea to encourage your kid to do the things he can by himself.

D．They can give their children directions at any moment from anywhere.

E．Build your kids' skills.

G．Your kid is eager for more freedom，but should you give it to him?

Everybody knows the importance of drinking enough water.As we all know，drinking water benefits your skin，muscles and organs. 11

The major reason for that is related to human biological needs.When you're a baby，you're 75 percent water.Then，as the years get higher，you get drier. 12 It helps you lose weight，according to a study from the University of Birmingham.

The researchers found that drinking 500 ml of water thirty minutes before a meal helped participants lose 10 more pounds than those who did not. 13 All participants were advised to improve their diet and physical activity levels.84 overwei ght adults were involved.Among them 41 were told to “preload” with water，while 43 were told to control their water intake before eating.After 12 weeks，

the participants instructed to “preload” with water lost 2.87 pounds more than those in the control group on average.In addition，the participants preloading with water before each of their three main meals every day lost 9.48 pounds over the 12 weeks. 14

Dr.Helen Parretti，a lecturer at the University of Birmingham，had this to say

of the study: 15 Just drinking 500 ml of water，three times a day，before your main meals may help reduce your weight...and this could be an easy way for weight loss.Furthermore，it can be significant for an individual to lose extra weight，making a potential contribution to public health.

A. Another reason to drink water is right here.

B．The study began with a weight management consultation.

C．The beauty of these findings is that losing weight is simple.

D．But not everyone can get access to tap water in some areas.

E．It also helps prevent certain diseases and improve your mood.

F．In contrast，those preloading once a day or never，lost just 1.76 pounds.

G．So kids should drink more water instead of coke to keep healthy.

Our most common dreams

Dreams have long confused us and their meanings can seem nearly impossible to understand.So we are always wondering： 16

Dreams can have complex meanings.But before we start explaining these dreams，there are a few things we should know：

●Understanding our dreams requires focusing on ourselves—no matter who else is showing up in them.

17 They're a visual picture of the dreamer's inner state.So after we see ourselves late to class in our dream，consider what being late means for us and go from there.

●We should take dream meaning literally(照字面地)．

Just as being nude in public means our body is exposed，a dream about it means we likely feel emotionally exposed.Maybe we're about to try something new or daring.If so，the fear is natural that we'll do nothing.A dream about falling might mean we feel like we're losing our balance emotionally. 18 Dreams won't mean the same thing for any two people，but they can be taken as starting points to think about our emotions.

●Our dream may represent a wish not an anxiety.

19 So if we can't locate an anxiety associated with our dream symbol，then think about our desires.If we're being chased in our dream，consider this: do you long to be pursued romantically，and feel unfulfilled in that way? 20

A. Is it important to explain dreams?

B．What do our most common dreams really mean?

C．Anxiety is often explained as a key to a bad dream.

D．Early theory held that dreams are our deepest wishes.

E．Dreams describe what's going on in our life，nobody else's.

F．That is the same with a failing or the beginning of depression.

G．Similarly，a dream about taking a test could mean we'd like to show off our competency，at work or otherwise.

本文是一篇说明文。长时间以来梦一直困扰着人们，人们不能理解梦境的含义。如果想了解梦的含义，首先要明白几个问题：把注意力集中在自己身上；照字面理解；梦或许代表一种希望而非焦虑。

16．B[根据前一句中的“their meanings can seem nearly impossible to understand”及第二段第一句“Dreams can have complex meanings.”可知，人们不明白梦的含义，因此空格处是在询问一些常见的梦究竟是什么含义。B项符合语境。故选B。] 17．E[根据上文中的“focusing on ourselves—no matter who else is showing up in them”可知，无论谁在梦中出现过，我们都需要把注意力集中在自己身上。此处解释原因，因为梦描述的是做梦者自己的生活，而不是其他人的，与E项表述一致。故选E。] 18．F[上文提到，摔倒的梦有可能意味着自己情绪上的失衡。F项“这个梦也有可能意味着失败或失望的开端”与上文衔接紧密，符合语境。故选F。]

19．D[本段的主题句是“Our dream may represent a wish not an anxiety.”，即梦代表的或许是一种希望而不是焦虑。D项中的“dreams are our deepest wishes”与此照应。故选D。]

20．G[上文解释了梦代表着希望，并列举了在梦中被追赶的含义。G项用“Similarly”引出另一个例子，即梦见考试也代表了自己的一种希望，符合语境。故选G。]

How to become a better reader

Language and literacy(读写能力) are among mankind's greatest inventions.Evolving and even dying over the course of human history，languages are a reflection of our cultural and societal attitudes.Most humans acquire language in early childhood and speak fluently when they are about three years old，but our continued relationship with language gives shape and meaning to our lives. 21 1．Take it slow.

Many readers feel that they read too slowly，especially compared with others，but the truth is that the faster you read，the less likely you are to comprehend fully what you're reading. 22 Reading is a lifelong process; learning to read

closely and slowly will help you become faster over time without missing anything.

2． 23

When humans first began reading written words，it was unusual to read in silence. Though generally inappropriate for commuters or for late－night adventurers，reading out loud is one of the best ways to improve your reading ability. 24 If so，you will begin to read more accurately and with better vocal expression.Try listening to the author reading their own work—you'll be surprised to find how clearly it comes through on the page.

3．Write.

25 How and what you read affects how and what you write，and the best readers often make the best writers.But while much can be learned from close，repeated readings，there are many secretive pleasures to language that can only be experienced through the practice of writing.

A．Read aloud.

B．Get into the rhythm of the author's voice.

C．Here are 3 ways to become a better reader.

D．Writing and reading go hand－in－hand.

E．Try writing every day for a month; you will never read the same again.

F．The ability to read is important to form an identity and express one's feelings.

G．In that case，do not hesitate to re－read the passage.

22．G[上文提到你阅读的速度越快，你就越不可能完全理解所读的内容。下文提到阅读是终生的过程。G项“在这种情况下，不要犹豫，再读一遍”联系上下文，符合语境。故选G。]

23．A[根据下文中的“reading out loud is one of the best ways to improve your reading ability”可知，朗读是提高阅读技能最好的方式之一。A项“大声阅读”能够概括本段内容，符合语境。故选A。]

24．B[根据上下文可知，朗读是提高阅读技能的其中一个方式。根据下文可知，如果以书的作者的节奏朗读的话，你会朗读得更加准确，更生动。B项“用作者的声音节奏朗读”符合语境。故选B。]

25．D[根据本段内容可知，阅读的方法和内容影响写作的方法和内容，最好的读者往

往能成为最好的作家。D项“写作和阅读要保持一致，同时进行”符合本段主题，符合语境。故选D。]
