Or, at least, they’ll live healthier and more productive lives than the “cool” kids will. The study looked at 13-year-olds who acted old for their age by having “cool” behavior, such as early romantic relationships. They were seen as “cool” and popular kids. But as they grew up, things changed. The study found that these kids tended to have problems with drugs and relationships by their early 20s. Their behavior was no longer linked with popularity. Instead, ther were thought to be less socially skilled by their peers. Besides, the average “cool” kids, by age 22, did more poorly than the average kids in the study. They had a 45 percent greater rate of criminal behavior. The study also found that these kids failed to develop important life skills. They spent so much time trying to seem cool. They didn’t develop the skills needed for meaningful friendships. The study followed 86 male and 98 female middle school students for a 10-year period. It has some surprising findings. In particular, the study notes that the so-called “cool” behavior is a predictor of future problems with drugs and alcohol. In fact, it is a better predictor than drug and alcohol use in middle school. However, one conclusion of the study is welcome. Researchers said that parents shouldn’t worry too much if their kids don’t seem that popular. If a kid prefers to spend Saturday nights at home watching a movie or reading instead of going out with friends, that is not a cause for concern. Many “uncool” kids, they said, do much better later than the popular kids do. 1. Gentle kids are less healthy when they grow up.. A. True B. False C.

So it might surprise you to learn that restaurants as we know have only existed for a few centuries. Before 1765, there were no restaurants. There was nowhere in which a server brought you food and drink that you chose from a menu. In fact, there were no menus anywhere. There were places where travelers could eat centuries before that. The countryside was full of inns that would serve food. And there were bars where one could get a drink. The rich could also eat meals supplied by private cooks. But there was nothing that could be called a “restaurant”. A Frenchman changed that. In 1765, he opened a place in Paris that sold soups. On his sign, he used the term “restaurants” to describe what he was selling. Soups were considered “restorative”, so he called them “restaurants”. Finally, people started buying his soups even when not ill. And as time went on, people began to use the term “restaurant” to refer to the place where soup was sold rather than the soup itself. More “restaurants” opened up in France, and people began to buy soups more regularly. Then, restaurants in Paris began to serve food other than soups. In the 1780s, menus started to appear. By the 1800s, there were many types of restaurants, and the restaurant concept was spread throughout the British Empire. A slow start gave way to rapid growth. Cities and towns around the world are filled with restaurants today. It is estimated that there are 1.6 million restaurants in Europe. In America, there are nearly a half million restaurants. Today, diners have millions of choices. 11. Before 1765, travelers could have meals at a(n)______. A. bar B. inn C. restaurant D. canteen 12. The first “restaurant” only served ______. A. soups B. desserts C. drinks D. fruits 13. The word “restorative”(line 3 Para. 3) most probably means______.

Types of Restaurant 得分 评卷人 复查人 第三部分:概括段落大意和补全句子(第 16-25 题,每题 1 分,共 10 分) 阅读下面短文, 请完成短文后的 2 项测试任务:( 1 )从第 16-20 题后所给的 6 个选项中为第 1 --- 5 段每段选择 1 个正确的小标题;( 2 )从第 21-25 题后所给的 6 个选项中选择 5 个正确的选项,分别完成每个句子。 将答案填在下表相应的空格内。 题号 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 选项 How to Perfect the Art of Public Speaking If you want to become the type of speaker you’ve always wanted to be, read the following suggestions. 1 You can’t go from a nervous speaker to a star speaker overnight. You shouldn’t expect to. Give yourself time to get used to a larger audience. Start with smaller groups and get as much feedback as you can. Keep on practicing and developing your skills. 2Be familiar with your speech materials. That doesn’t mean memorizing your speech, which can lack enthusiasm and naturalness.

You will be surprised at the positive cycle that creates: An enthusiastic audience can add even more energy to you. Use hand gestures. When appropriate, smile, smile. 4Find friendly, interested faces in the audience and speak to them. Look into their eyes.
