 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

As a father of four, I'm concerned about how to lead my children to be good young men and women in such an unstable time. I have studied philosophy, mysticism, and religion my entire life. They provide great lessons in responsibility and growth. However, I also recognize that, at least at this point in their lives, my children are not terribly interested in such subjects. While I was reflecting on this, I was reminded of a line in a song I had heard recently. It goes, "f you had only one chance to say something, what would it be?"

That night, I found my two oldest kids lounging on the couch watching a TV show that featured violence, cursing and even some "adult scenes". I quietly sat on a chair next to them. I saw my boy straighten up, and my girl pretended to ignore me. I didn't make any usual comments about the pointlessness of such programs. I didn't even roll my eyes, although this took some effort. I simply asked:

Can you tell me how this will make you a better person?

Without a word, I got up and left the room. About ten minutes later, to my surprise, the children were in their rooms doing their homework and the television was silent. Remarkable.

This philosophy can change the way we live our lives. For example, whenever I feel angry and get the urge to lash out, I ask myself, "How does this acting or feeling the way I do right now make me a better person?" I began to realize that rarely did my thoughts or actions result in self-improvement. so I made conscious efforts to change my mindset and behavior.

We all want to be better fathers, mothers, sons and daughters. Better workers, better leaders, better lovers... this list goes on. Sometimes succeeding in these roles can be tough. But one question connects us with all those duties we possess to society and ourselves, "Is this making me a better person?"

Whatever I said, it worked. My daughter has begun watching nature programs instead of violent TV shows, and she decided to go to school to become a counselor. My son told me he wants to be a police officer. I've since thrown away all those parenting magazines and books I've collected over the years because I made more progress with a single question than I did with hundreds of pages of "experts" advice.

9．When the writer found his kids watching inappropriate TV programs that night, he appeared ____

A．critical B．indifferent C．anxious D．calm

10．How can this philosophy change the way we live our lives?

A．By calming ourselves down when we are angry

B．By providing us with new mindset and behavior

C．By helping us realize our need for self-improvement

D．By raising a question about our current action and feling

11．Why did the writer throw away his parenting magazines and books?

A．Because they didn't offer him any help.

B．Because his kids had grown out of them.

C．Because that single question was more useful.

D．Because the expert advice was too much to follow.

12．The writer wrote this passage to ____

A．introduce a life philosophy by telling a parenting story

B．convince teenagers of the downsides to watch TV

C．call on other parents to trust themselves instead of experts

D．inform the readers of how he helped his kids set good goals

According to a new Agriculture Department report, U. S. forests could exacerbate global warming because they are being destroyed by natural disasters and are losing their ability to absorb planet-warming gases as they get older. The report predicts that the ability of forests to absorb carbon will start declining after 2025 and that forests could release up to 100 million metric tons of carbon a year as their emissions (排放) from decaying (腐烂的) trees go beyond their carbon absorption. Forests could become a "substantial carbon source" by 2070, the USDA report says.

The loss of carbon absorption is driven in part by natural disasters such as wildfires, tornadoes and hurricanes, which are increasing in frequency and strength as global temperatures rise. The disasters destroy forestland, destroying their ecosystem and decreasing their ability to absorb carbon, according to Lynn Riley, a senior manager of climate science at the American Forest Foundation. Aging forests also contribute. The report found that older, mature trees absorb less carbon than younger trees of the same species, and U. S. forests are rapidly aging.

This trend is likely to continue, as forests come under increasing threat from climate change and exploitation (开采). The typical tropical (热带的) forest may become a carbon source by the 2060s, according to Simon Lewis, professor in the school of geography at Leeds University. "Humans have been lucky so far, as tropical forests are cleaning up lots of our pollution, but they can't keep doing that indefinitely," he said. "We need to cut down fossil fuel emissions before the global carbon cycle starts working against us."

U. S. forests currently absorb 11 percent of U. S. carbon emissions, or 150 million metric tons of carbon a year,

equal to the combined emissions from 40 coal power plants, according to the report. The loss of forests as natural carbon absorbers will require the U. S. to cut emissions more rapidly to reach net zero. "As we work to decarbonize (碳减排), forests are one of the greatest tools at our handling. If we were to lose that, it means we will contribute that much more in emissions." Riley said.

13．What does the underlined word "exacerbate" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A．Relieve. B．Worsen. C．Address. D．Measure.

14．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．The key role of forests in the ecosystem.

B．The consequences of frequent natural disasters.

C．The impact of rising global temperatures on forests.

D．The reasons for forests' declining ability to absorb carbon.

15．What does Simon Lew is suggest?

A．Reducing fossil fuel emissions.

B．Dealing with decaying trees in time.

C．Planting younger trees on a large scale.

D．Limiting the exploitation of forest resources.

16．What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?

A．To stress the significance of forests.

B．To offer suggestions on forest management.

C．To present the efforts theU. S. has made to reach net zero.

D．To show the increasing carbon emissions from coal power plants.

Imagine climbing a mountain and getting half way up and saying to yourself, "You know what, I'm going to climb back down and finish this later."

　17．     　 We have projects that sit waiting to be completed. Some people start college but never graduate. We have books that we never finish reading.　18．     　 Many people are great at beginning things but can't seem to finish strong.

Not finishing what we started has been a repeated problem for us. We have to face it.　19．     　 Whenever we delay, or put to the side, the things that will help us accomplish our goals, we stop developing our potential.

Not finishing not only causes us to stop making progress but also we find it harder whenever we do decide to start again. Consider this: every time I begin a new exercise program my muscles are sore (疼) for a few days. After a few weeks of routine, the muscles get accustomed to the program and grow stronger. Thus, no more sore muscles. Well, when I take some time off I fear starting again.　20．     　

Strong finishers are able to focus on getting the best result from anything that they start. So how do we know that we are a strong finisher? Along with the huge feeling of accomplishment, other people will begin to notice the change.　21．     　 They will have no choice but to recognize our strong finishing ability. We will be rewarded with more trust from them.

A. The list goes on and on.

B. We should have the confidence.

C. Why don't we have the interest any more?

D. Sounds silly, but that is what we do all of the time.

E. I know that my muscles are going to be sore again.

F. They will see we are able to climb and conquer the mountain.

G. Not being a strong finisher can limit our ability to conquer our goals.
