The average child will eat 1,500 peanut butter before he or she graduates high school. But there is a controversy over a new peanut butter. It is called STEEM Peanut Butter. This peanut butter adds a new ingredient: caffeine. Coffee is a popular morning drink because it has caffeine and gives people energy in the morning. Even small amounts of caffeine can be dangerous to children.‎ United States Senator(参议员) Charles Schumer says.“Peanut butter, one of the snacks most closely connected with children, might have to be stored in the medicine cupboard rather than in the kitchen cupboard. This will shock the Food and Drug Administration.” Schumer wants the U.S. FDA to investigate. He observed that earlier the FDA prevented plans for a caffeinated chewing gum.‎ STEEM, the manufacturer, said, “We are selling the caffeinated peanut butter all over the world. The product provides caffeine in an easily digestible way. Caffeinated foods have been sold in U.S. stores for well over a decade and are in no way a new idea. Customers tell us they want to eat the caffeinated peanut butter so they don’t have to drink as much coffee or energy drinks. The peanut butter is not intended for children.”‎ ‎“Peanut butter has been a favorite of children for generations,” Schumer continued: “Parents across the country have to worry about a scene in which their child might unknowingly bite into a peanut butter that contains more caffeine than two cups of coffee.”‎ The American Academy of Pediatrics says caffeine in small amounts can help the physical performance of adults. But the academy urges parents not to allow children to take even small amounts of caffeine owing to caffeine’s possible negative effects on a child’s heart and brain development.‎ ‎28. There is a controversy over the STEEM Peanut Butter because it contains ______.‎ ‎ A. fat B. peanut C. caffeine D. nutrition ‎ ‎29. Charles Schumer suggests that the new peanut butter should be ______.‎ ‎ A. kept in the kitchen cupboard B. out of children’s reach ‎ ‎ C. manufactured in huge quantities D. eaten by children for generations ‎30. According to STEEM, the new peanut butter is popular with adults because______.‎ ‎ A. it is a traditional food B. it is digested more easily ‎ ‎ C. its production is not banned D. they eat it instead of energy drinks ‎31. We can guess from the text that the responsibility of the Food and Drug Administration is to______.‎ ‎ A. introduce new foods and drugs B. promote the sales of foods and drugs ‎ C. guarantee the safety of foods and drugs D. improve the physical performance of adults D When a child is told he is “uncool”, it can be very painful. He may say he doesn’t care, and even act in ways that are different from cool on purpose(故意地）. But these are simple ways to deal with sadness by pretending it’s not there.‎ Helping a child feel better in school had to be careful. If you say, “Why are you worried about what other children think about you? It doesn’t matter!” Children know that it does matter. Instead, an active way may be best. You could say, “I’m going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school.”‎ If a boy is having trouble making friends, the teacher can help him. The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class things. This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him. A teacher can also raise a child’s popularity in the group by showing that he values that child. It even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child, or let him be a partner with that child in activities, etc.‎ There are things that parents can do at home, too. Be friendly when your child brings others home to play. Encourage him to invite friends to meals and then serve the dishes they consider “super” .When you plan trips, picnics, movies, and other shows, invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends.‎ What you can do is to give him a chance to join a group that may be shutting him out. Then, if he has good qualities, he can start to build real friendship of his own.‎ ‎32. A child who has been informed of being “ uncool” may _________ .‎ A. care nothing about it B. do something uncool on purpose C. develop a sense of anger D. pretend to get hurt very much ‎33. A teacher can help an unpopular child by _____________ .‎ A. seeing the child as the teacher’s favorite B. asking the child to do something for partners C. forcing other children to make friends with the child D. offering the child chances to show his good qualities ‎34. How can parents help their child fit in better?‎ A. By taking him to have picnics in the park. B. By being kind to his schoolmates.‎ C. By forcing him to invite friends home. D. By cooking delicious food for him.‎ ‎35. Which is the best title of the text?‎ A. How an Unpopular Child can be Helped B. Why Some Children are Unpopular C. What Good Qualities Unpopular Children Have D. Who Care about Unpopular Children 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ When you learn a new subject, you may always consider how much time you need to truly understand it all. Here we give you some advice about how to study, so you'll be able to take on more information with shorter study sessions (时段).‎ ‎● Study in small sessions. Our ability to store the information we take reduces after around 30 minutes, so you'd better cut your studying sessions into smaller parts. 36_________‎ ‎● Find a study area. Don't study in a place where you sleep! Don't study in your bed, where you play games, or in front of the TV. Why? 37_________ You need to program your mind to study in a place where you always study and nowhere else.‎ ‎● Take good notes. 38_________ And review them after class to increase your understanding.‎ ‎● 39__________ To be a good student, you should be a good teacher. You cannot teach something you do not know. ‎ ‎● Read your textbook effectively (有效地). Always use the SQ3R method. You need to survey, question, read, recite, review to actively remember the information. 40__________‎ A. Train your mind.‎ B. Just reading it is not enough.‎ C. Be ready to teach what you've learned.‎ D. It's a good idea to study in a familiar place.‎ E. You can do some fun activities during your breaks.‎ F.

When someone is talking to you, look at them. Above all, don’t interrupt them.

You cannot expect to become friends with someone if you don’t spend time with them.‎ I sincerely hope that what I have suggested can be helpful for you. am looking forward to your reply.‎ Sincerely yours,‎ Li Hua
