A
Hello and welcome to English with Lucy. Today we have another topic:“Four common British expressions.” Now, before we get started, make sure you connect with me on all my social media which is right here. You can subscribe to my YouTube. You can also like me on Facebook. And for my Chinese followers, I have my Weibo account as well.
Four Common British Expressions:
“A piece of cake.”
And this is very similar to “Easy-peasy, lemon squeezy,” which we've discussed in a former video. And basically, it means very easy. So I might come out of an easy exam saving, “That exam was a piece of cake. ”
“Break a leg!”
It actually looks really rather cruel, but I promise you it's positive. And “Break a leg!” means “Good luck!” So before a race, before a job interview, before a test, instead of saying “Good luck!” I might say “Break a leg!”
“It cost an arm and a leg.”
And this basically means something was really expensive. If I say, “My bag cost an arm and a leg,” I mean it cost a lot of money.
“To call it a day.”
And this means “to end a task”. So, for example, “I'm feeling a bit tired. I think I'll call it a day. ”That means “I think I'll stop here. Let's finish.”
Thank you so much for watching this program of “Four Common British Expressions.” I hope you like it, and I hope you've learned something.
1. How can Chinese listeners connect with Lucy?
A. With Wechat B. Through Weibo C. On Facebook D. By YouTube.
2. When John went to an English Speech Competition, you should say “_________” to him.
A. Break a leg! B. It cost an arm and a leg.
C To call it a day D. A piece of cake.
3. What does he/she mean when the teacher says “Let's call it a day.” ?
A. He/She will stop that day B. He/She feels tired
C. Class is over. D. It is daytime.
【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。广播介绍了“四个常见的英式表达”。
【1题详解】

【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Break a leg!”小标题下段落中“And “Break a leg!” means “Good luck!” So before a race, before a job interview, before a test, instead of saying “Good luck!” I might say “Break a leg!””(“Break a leg!”意思是“Good luck!”所以,在比赛、面试、考试之前,替代“Good luck!”我可能会说“Break a leg(祝你好运)”。)可知,当John要参加英语演讲比赛时,你应该对他说“Break a leg(祝你好运)”。故选A项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据“To call it a day.”小标题下段落中“And this means “to end a task”.”( 它的意思是“结束一项任务”。)(句中this代指“To call it a day”)可知,当老师说“Let's call it a day.”时,意思是“(课已结束)下课吧”。故选C项。
B
From soldier to wildlife photographer, the 67-year-old Shandong Province native, Ge Yuxiu, has lived in Qinghai Province for 51 years. For almost half that time, he has been on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where he has devoted his life to photographing and protecting wild animals.
Ge’s love for photography grew after his photo of soldiers reading news written on a blackboard was published in Qinghai Daily in 1979. He probably would never have turned to photographing wild animals without a visit to Bird Island in Qinghai Lake in 1995. “I became addicted to the bird kingdom” Ge said, adding that he has so far visited the island more than 200 times to take photos.
In late 1997, Ge was on his way to the island to take photos of swans when he saw seven yellowish-brown animals running across the grass-lands, in a line. On hearing one of his companions shouting “Przewalski’s gazelle”, he took out his camera and took photos of them. He was later told by wildlife reservation experts that he had shot the world ‘s first image of Przewalski’s gazelle (普氏原羚), a relatively small, slender antelope unique to China.
“I was so excited to hear that,” he said. His excitement, however, soon gave way to anxiety after he learned about the animal’s endangered situation. Only found around Qinghai Lake, there were just 300 of them surviving in the wild at the time. The incident became a turning point in Ge ‘s photography career, as he decided to devote his efforts to saving the gazelle and other endangered animals.
From then on, he often spent time in the wild observing the gazelle and regularly visited wildlife reservation experts in Qinghai and places much farther away. Through his photos, Ge publicly called on the government, research institutions and the public to protect Przewalski’s gazelle. His continued efforts led to at least eight of his proposals reaching Qinghai provincial authorities, and a reserve and a separate station especially for the reservation of the antelope were established in December 2007 and September 2009.
Thanks to joint efforts, the population of Przewalski’s gazelle has now increased to about 2,700.
4. When did Ge take up wildlife protection?
A. In 1979. B. In 1995.
C. In 1997. D. In 2007.
5. Why did he feel excited after photographing the Przewalski’s gazelles?
A He learnt the photo was valuable. B. He found they were endangered.
C. He knew that they were rare. D. He realized they were unique.
6. Which of the following words can best describe Ge?
A. Creative and energetic. B. Devoted and determined.
C. Calm and generous. D. Honest and positive.
7. What can be the best title for the text?
A. A Wildlife Photographer B. A Retired Soldier
C. A Learned Researcher D. A Wildlife Guardian
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了野生动物保护者——葛玉修为保护野生动物所做的努力与成果。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“In late 1997, Ge was on his way to the island to take photos of swans when he saw seven yellowish-brown animals running across the grass-lands, in a line.(1997年底,葛玉修在去岛上拍摄天鹅照片的途中,看到了7只黄褐色的动物排成一行穿过草地。)”以及最后一段“From then on, he often spent time in the wild observing the gazelle and regularly visited wildlife reservation experts in Qinghai and places much farther away.(从那以后,他经常在野外观察原羚,并定期拜访青海和更远的地方的野生动物保护专家。)”可知,葛玉修是在1997年开始从事野生动物保护工作的。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“He was later told by wildlife reservation experts that he had shot the world ‘s first image of Przewalski’s gazelle (普氏原羚), a relatively small, slender antelope unique to China.(后来,野生动物保护专家告诉他,他拍摄了世界上第一张普氏原羚的照片。普氏原羚是中国特有的一种体型相对较小、体型纤细的羚羊。)”可知,拍摄完普氏原羚后他会如此兴奋的原因是他得知这张照片很有价值。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“For almost half that time, he has been on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where he has devoted his life to photographing and protecting wild animals.(近一半的时间,他都在青藏高原,在那里他奉献了自己的一生,拍摄和保护野生动物。)”、第四段“The incident became a turning point in Ge ‘s photography career, as he decided to devote his efforts to saving the gazelle and other endangered animals.(这一事件成为了他摄影生涯的转折点,他决定致力于拯救原羚和其他濒危动物。)”以及第五段“His continued efforts led to at least eight of his proposals reaching Qinghai provincial authorities, and a reserve and a separate station especially for the reservation of the antelope were established in December 2007 and September 2009.(在他的不懈努力下,至少有8项建议被提交给了青海省政府,2007年12月和2009年9月,青海省分别建立了一个保护区和一个单独的藏羚羊保护区。)”可推断,葛玉修对于他做的事很有决心很坚定并且为之奉献。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“For almost half that time, he has been on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where he has devoted his life to photographing and protecting wild animals.(近一半的时间,他都在青藏高原,在那里他奉献了自己的一生,拍摄和保护野生动物。)”及全文可知,文章主要介绍了野生动物保护者——葛玉修为保护野生动物所做的努力与成果。所以“A Wildlife Guardian(一位野生动物守护者)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选D。
C
Unhappily married for many years, Peter waited until his children were grown up before he divorced their mother. He hoped this would make the experience less unhappy for them. Yet in the six years since, he has not seen either of his two sons. “For me it has been completely destructive,” he says. “I get teary when I think about them.”
Though people tend not to talk about it much, family estrangement seems to be widespread in America. The relationship most commonly cut off is that between parent and adult child, and in most cases it is the child who holds the knife.
Because family estrangement has been a subject of research only for the past decade, there are no data to show whether it is becoming more common. But many sociologists and psychologists think it is. In one way this seems surprising. Divorce increases the risk of family divisions. Yet in recent years, America’s divorce rate has fallen. So Dr. Coleman thinks other factors are making parent-child estrangements likelier than ever.
A rise in individualism that emphasizes personal happiness is the biggest factor. Realization of personal value has increasingly come to take the place of filial duty, says Dr. Coleman. In some ways it is a positive development: people find it easier to separate from parents who have been pushy. But it can also carry heavy costs.
Another factor is that those who decide to break off contact with their parents find support online. Posts on internet forums for people who Want to break ties with their parents show strangers advising an immediate break in contact. This may make it easier to put aside their feelings of guilt.
Raising awareness about the issue in this Way is likely to be important not only because some broken relationships may be fixable. Parent-child estrangement has negative effects beyond the heartbreak it causes. Research suggests that the habit of cutting off relatives is likely to spread in families. But most immediately, it is likely to increase loneliness in old age.
8. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To explain a reason. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To make a suggestion. D. To give an example.
9. What does the underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refer to?
A. The research data B. The risk of divisions
C. Family estrangement. D. Parent-child relationship.
10. How do adult children separate from their parents without feeling guilty?
A. By finding support online. B. By seeking personal happiness.
C. By performing filial duty. D. By posting on Internet forums.
11. What is the direct negative effect of parent-child estrangement?
A. Causing heartbreak. B. Breaking parent-child relationships.
C. Leading to awful loneliness in old age. D. Spreading the habit of cutting off relatives.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了家庭隔阂似乎在美国很普遍,最常被切断的关系是父母和成年子女之间的关系,由于家庭隔阂只是过去十年的一个研究课题,没有数据显示它是否正变得越来越普遍。文章分析了背后的原因和家庭隔阂的影响。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Unhappily married for many years, Peter waited until his children were grown up before he divorced their mother. He hoped this would make the experience less unhappy for them. Yet in the six years since, he has not seen either of his two sons. “For me it has been completely destructive,” he says. “I get teary when I think about them.”(彼得经历了多年不幸的婚姻,直到孩子们都长大成人后才和他们的母亲离婚。他希望这能减轻他们的痛苦。然而,在那之后的六年里,他没有见过两个儿子中的任何一个。“对我来说,这完全是毁灭性的,”他说。“一想到他们,我就会流泪。”)”以及第二段“Though people tend not to talk about it much, family estrangement seems to be widespread in America. The relationship most commonly cut off is that between parent and adult child, and in most cases it is the child who holds the knife.(虽然人们往往不怎么谈论它,但家庭隔阂似乎在美国很普遍。最常被切断的关系是父母和成年子女之间的关系,在大多数情况下让人痛心的是孩子)”可推知,第一段的作用是引入主题。故选B。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“Because family estrangement has been a subject of research only for the past decade, there are no data to show”以及后文“is becoming more common”可知,由于家庭隔阂只是过去十年的一个研究课题,没有数据显示家庭隔阂是否正变得越来越普遍。故it指的是“家庭隔阂”。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Another factor is that those who decide to break off contact with their parents find support online. Posts on internet forums for people who Want to break ties with their parents show strangers advising an immediate break in contact. This may make it easier to put aside their feelings of guilt.(另一个因素是,那些决定与父母断绝联系的人在网上找到了支持。想要与父母断绝关系的人在网络论坛上的帖子显示,陌生人建议他们立即断绝联系。这可能会让他们更容易把罪恶感放在一边)”可知,成年子女通过在网上寻找支持来让自己与父母分离而不感到内疚。故选A。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Parent-child estrangement has negative effects beyond the heartbreak it causes.(亲子关系的疏远除了会造成心碎之外,还有其他的负面影响)”可知,亲子隔阂的直接负面影响是令人心碎。故选A。
D
When I was a child, I often saw my Grandma throwing bread that was no longer fresh to birds. Not surprisingly, this attracted few birds. Later on, we discovered bird food at the local store. Feeding garden birds in the UK has come a long way since then. Today, the birds can enjoy many kinds of food: from plant seeds to sunflower hearts and from cakes to meat balls. All this comes at a huge cost of about £200m a year. Sometimes, I wonder if we might be feeding our garden birds better than our kids. But maybe it’s worth it. Our generosity is having an important effect on the behavior and even evolution of these birds.
Take the goldfinch for example. In the 1960s, this was a rare bird. Today, goldfinches can be seen in many gardens. Other new visitors include the spotted woodpecker, which has left its usual woodland for food on bird tables. Evolution is meant to progress slowly: over thousands of years. Yet during the past few decades, the beaks of many kinds of birds have become longer because birds with longer beaks can get more food, and then are more likely to live on.
Actually, the British habit of feeding garden birds goes back much further. During the sixth century, St Serf of Fife fed a robin in his garden; during the winter of 1890, workers in London were seen giving their lunches to songbirds. The real change took place in the 1980s, when a few farsighted businessmen realized that encouraging the British to be more generous to garden birds can help them make money. Therefore, various kinds of bird food and modern bird feeders were produced. As a result, the number of species using garden feeding stations increased very quickly, from about 10 to over 100. Then, in 2005, Springwatch came, which turned our love of garden birds into an entertainment show.
Is bird feeding completely good for birds? Not everyone thinks so. Studies by the Zoological Society of London have shown that by bringing together many birds, bird feeders may help the spread of disease. In Australia, some bird experts believe—probably wrongly—that bird feeding creates a “dependence culture”.
But we shouldn’t forget one major benefit of feeding garden birds—it connects millions of people to the natural world. This is especially important for people who seldom reach the wider countryside. As I write this, there comes some noise outside my window: several birds were singing and flying around in my garden. It’s a sight I could only imagine years ago, when feeding garden birds just meant throwing hard bread to them.
12. What does the author mean by saying the underlined part in Paragraph 1?
A. Feeding garden birds is a huge waste of money.
B. We spend quite a lot of money on the food of garden birds.
C. We should care more for our kids rather than garden birds.
D. Feeding garden birds can bring more joy than feeding kids.
13. Which is the reason behind the fact that many birds’ beaks become longer?
A. These birds have given up traditional woodland. B. Food for these birds becomes richer and better.
C. Longer beaks mean more chances of survival. D. These birds grow faster than ever before.
14. What do some bird experts in Australia think of bird feeding?
A. It is completely good for birds.
B. It may help the spread of disease.
C. It connects more and more people to the natural world.
D. It may reduce birds’ ability to find food by themselves.
15. How does the author feel when he hears bird noise outside his window?
A. Annoyed. B. Pleased. C. Surprised. D. Bored.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就如今英国人的喂食花园鸟类的行为展开论述。文章介绍了人类的喂食行为对鸟类进化的影响,英国人喂养花园鸟类的习惯的历史以及人们对喂鸟行为的看法等。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线部分上文“Today, the birds can enjoy many kinds of food: from plant seeds to sunflower hearts and from cakes to meat balls. All this comes at a huge cost of about £200m a year.”可知,如今,这些鸟可以享用很多食物:从植物种子到葵花籽,从蛋糕到肉丸。所有这些都要花费每年大约2亿英镑的巨大成本,所以作者认为人们在花园的鸟食上花费了太多的钱,即划线部分意思为“我们花了很多钱在花园的鸟食上”。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Yet during the past few decades, the beaks of many kinds of birds have become longer because birds with longer beaks can get more food, and then are more likely to live on.(然而在过去的几十年里,许多种类的鸟的喙变长了,因为长喙的鸟可以得到更多的食物,从而更有可能生存下去)”可知,许多鸟的喙变长了,这背后的原因是长喙意味着更多的生存机会。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“In Australia, some bird experts believe—probably wrongly—that bird feeding creates a ‘dependence culture’.(在澳大利亚,一些鸟类专家认为喂鸟可能是错误的——鸟类喂养创造了一种‘依赖文化’)”可知,澳大利亚的一些鸟类专家认为喂鸟是错误的,因为喂鸟可能会降低鸟类自己寻找食物的能力,造成对人类的依赖。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But we shouldn’t forget one major benefit of feeding garden birds—it connects millions of people to the natural world. This is especially important for people who seldom reach the wider countryside. As I write this, there comes some noise outside my window: several birds were singing and flying around in my garden. It’s a sight I could only imagine years ago, when feeding garden birds just meant throwing hard bread to them.(但是我们不应该忘记给花园里的鸟喂食的一个主要好处——它把数百万人与自然世界联系在一起。这对很少到更广阔的农村地区的人来说尤其重要。当我写这篇文章的时候,窗外传来了一些声音:几只鸟儿在我的花园里唱歌、飞翔。这是我多年前只能想象的景象,当时给花园里的鸟儿喂食只是向它们扔硬面包)”可推知,当作者听到窗外鸟鸣时,他感觉很高兴。故选B。

【18题详解】
根据上文“Carbohydrates give you energy, and include noodles, pasta, potatoes and rice. Foods in the protein group helps grow and repair your muscles and skin. These include beans, eggs, fish, meat and nuts. Fruits and vegetables are packed with health-giving vitamins, which you need for every part of your body to work, and fibre, which keeps your digestive system healthy. Calcium gives you strong bones and teeth and can be found in dairy foods like milk and cheese.

【20题详解】
本段问题是“How can I improve my diet?(我该如何改善我的饮食呢?)”,上文“Improving your diet can be as easy as challenging yourself to eat one more portion of fruit or vegetables a day.(改善饮食很简单,只要挑战自己每天多吃一份水果或蔬菜)”提出改善饮食很简单,只需要每天多吃一份水果或蔬菜,D项“You don’t have to get the balance right with every meal.(你不需要每顿饭都保持均衡)” 进一步说明改善饮食很简单,并不需要每顿饭都保持均衡,上下文语意连贯。故选D项。

My own unexpected anger seemed to come out of nowhere just a few weeks ago. But looking back, I can see that a lot of little things had been slowly building up.
The first one happened when I was taking care of my little brother and sister. “Oh, it’s already your bedtime!” I said as I looked at the clock, “Let’s put everything away.” “Not yet,” Indi said, dumping (倒出) out a bin full of blocks. What’s worse, Tex dumped two more bins. Right then, my mom stuck her head into the room.
“Hi,” she said, “Why aren’t you two in bed?”
“We’re making a village!” said Indi. “It’s beautiful,” said my mom, “But it’s very late, so let’s go to brush your teeth! Oh, Jack, would you please put everything away?” “No fair,” I thought as I squashed (压制) down my feelings.
The next day, Tex asked if he could play at his friend’s house, and my dad said, “Sure! Go and have fun!” Then I said, “I’m going to skateboard with my friend,” and my dad said, “Don’t you have that big homework to finish?” I squashed down my feelings again and went to do my homework unhappily.
But that was not the end. As we got back home from a tiring trip, Tex and Indi raced inside for a snack. “I’m hungry too,” I said, heading after them. “Wait, honey,” my mom stopped me, “Give me a hand with these bags.” And my feelings couldn’t be squashed down any longer and turned into a volcanic explosion.
“It’s not fair!” I shouted, “Tex and Indi get to do whatever they want whenever they want, but you and Dad never give me a break.” “I know I’m older,” I continued, “I know I’m responsible for more stuff than they are, but sometimes I wish things could be more fair!” Saying all that stuff out aloud made me feel much better but left my family completely at a loss.
After an awkward silence, my mom sighed, “Maybe we need a family meeting.”
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】After an awkward silence, my mom sighed, “Maybe we need a family meeting.” That night, we gathered around the dining table, where my parents and I sat together. I began, “Mom, Dad, I feel like I don’t get enough attention. When I wanted to do well in school or help out with the housework, I felt like I was always being pushed aside.” My parents listened quietly, their expressions softening. Then, my mom spoke, “We appreciate everything you do, Jack. We love you just the way you are, but sometimes we need to hear what you have to say too.” I looked at them, feeling a sense of relief and understanding. That night, I fell asleep feeling a little lighter, knowing that my family was working together to make things more fair for me.

Hello and welcome to English with Lucy. Today we have another topic:“Four common British expressions.” Now, before we get started, make sure you connect with me on all my social media which is right here. You can subscribe to my YouTube. You can also like me on Facebook. And for my Chinese followers, I have my Weibo account as well.
Four Common British Expressions:
“A piece of cake.”
And this is very similar to “Easy-peasy, lemon squeezy,” which we've discussed in a former video. And basically, it means very easy. So I might come out of an easy exam saving, “That exam was a piece of cake. ”
“Break a leg!”
It actually looks really rather cruel, but I promise you it's positive. And “Break a leg!” means “Good luck!” So before a race, before a job interview, before a test, instead of saying “Good luck!” I might say “Break a leg!”
“It cost an arm and a leg.”
And this basically means something was really expensive. If I say, “My bag cost an arm and a leg,” I mean it cost a lot of money.
“To call it a day.”
And this means “to end a task”. So, for example, “I'm feeling a bit tired. I think I'll call it a day. ”That means “I think I'll stop here. Let's finish.”
Thank you so much for watching this program of “Four Common British Expressions.” I hope you like it, and I hope you've learned something.
1. How can Chinese listeners connect with Lucy?
A. With Wechat B. Through Weibo C. On Facebook D. By YouTube.
2. When John went to an English Speech Competition, you should say “_________” to him.
A. Break a leg! B. It cost an arm and a leg.
C. To call it a day D. A piece of cake.
3. What does he/she mean when the teacher says “Let's call it a day.” ?
A. He/She will stop that day B. He/She feels tired
C. Class is over. D. It is daytime.

From soldier to wildlife photographer, the 67-year-old Shandong Province native, Ge Yuxiu, has lived in Qinghai Province for 51 years. For almost half that time, he has been on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where he has devoted his life to photographing and protecting wild animals.
Ge’s love for photography grew after his photo of soldiers reading news written on a blackboard was published in Qinghai Daily in 1979. He probably would never have turned to photographing wild animals without a visit to Bird Island in Qinghai Lake in 1995. “I became addicted to the bird kingdom,” Ge said, adding that he has so far visited the island more than 200 times to take photos.
In late 1997, Ge was on his way to the island to take photos of swans when he saw seven yellowish-brown animals running across the grass-lands, in a line. On hearing one of his companions shouting “Przewalski’s gazelle”, he took out his camera and took photos of them. He was later told by wildlife reservation experts that he had shot the world ‘s first image of Przewalski’s gazelle (普氏原羚), a relatively small, slender antelope unique to China.
“I was so excited to hear that,” he said. His excitement, however, soon gave way to anxiety after he learned about the animal’s endangered situation. Only found around Qinghai Lake, there were just 300 of them surviving in the wild at the time. The incident became a turning point in Ge ‘s photography career, as he decided to devote his efforts to saving the gazelle and other endangered animals.
From then on, he often spent time in the wild observing the gazelle and regularly visited wildlife reservation experts in Qinghai and places much farther away. Through his photos, Ge publicly called on the government, research institutions and the public to protect Przewalski’s gazelle. His continued efforts led to at least eight of his proposals reaching Qinghai provincial authorities, and a reserve and a separate station especially for the reservation of the antelope were established in December 2007 and September 2009.
Thanks to joint efforts, the population of Przewalski’s gazelle has now increased to about 2,700.
4. When did Ge take up wildlife protection?
A. In 1979. B. In 1995.
C. In 1997. D. In 2007.
5 Why did he feel excited after photographing the Przewalski’s gazelles?
A. He learnt the photo was valuable. B. He found they were endangered.
C. He knew that they were rare. D. He realized they were unique.
6. Which of the following words can best describe Ge?
A. Creative and energetic. B. Devoted and determined.
C. Calm and generous. D. Honest and positive.
7. What can be the best title for the text?
A. A Wildlife Photographer B. A Retired Soldier

Unhappily married for many years Peter waited until his children were grown up before he divorced their mother. He hoped this would make the experience less unhappy for them. Yet in the six years since, he has not seen either of his two sons. “For me it has been completely destructive,” he says. “I get teary when I think about them.”
Though people tend not to talk about it much, family estrangement seems to be widespread in America. The relationship most commonly cut off is that between parent and adult child, and in most cases it is the child who holds the knife.
Because family estrangement has been a subject of research only for the past decade, there are no data to show whether it is becoming more common. But many sociologists and psychologists think it is. In one way this seems surprising. Divorce increases the risk of family divisions. Yet in recent years, America’s divorce rate has fallen. So Dr. Coleman thinks other factors are making parent-child estrangements likelier than ever.
A rise in individualism that emphasizes personal happiness is the biggest factor. Realization of personal value has increasingly come to take the place of filial duty, says Dr. Coleman. In some ways it is a positive development: people find it easier to separate from parents who have been pushy. But it can also carry heavy costs.
Another factor is that those who decide to break off contact with their parents find support online. Posts on internet forums for people who Want to break ties with their parents show strangers advising an immediate break in contact. This may make it easier to put aside their feelings of guilt.
Raising awareness about the issue in this Way is likely to be important not only because some broken relationships may be fixable. Parent-child estrangement has negative effects beyond the heartbreak it causes. Research suggests that the habit of cutting off relatives is likely to spread in families. But most immediately, it is likely to increase loneliness in old age.
8. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To explain a reason. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To make a suggestion. D. To give an example.
9. What does the underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refer to?

10. How do adult children separate from their parents without feeling guilty?
A. By finding support online. B. By seeking personal happiness.
C. By performing filial duty. D. By posting on Internet forums.
11. What is the direct negative effect of parent-child estrangement?

C. Leading to awful loneliness in old age. D. Spreading the habit of cutting off relatives.

When I was a child, I often saw my Grandma throwing bread that was no longer fresh to birds. Not surprisingly, this attracted few birds. Later on, we discovered bird food at the local store. Feeding garden birds in the UK has come a long way since then. Today, the birds can enjoy many kinds of food: from plant seeds to sunflower hearts and from cakes to meat balls. All this comes at a huge cost of about £200m a year. Sometimes, I wonder if we might be feeding our garden birds better than our kids. But maybe it’s worth it. Our generosity is having an important effect on the behavior and even evolution of these birds.
Take the goldfinch for example. In the 1960s, this was a rare bird. Today, goldfinches can be seen in many gardens. Other new visitors include the spotted woodpecker, which has left its usual woodland for food on bird tables. Evolution is meant to progress slowly: over thousands of years. Yet during the past few decades, the beaks of many kinds of birds have become longer because birds with longer beaks can get more food, and then are more likely to live on.
Actually, the British habit of feeding garden birds goes back much further. During the sixth century, St Serf of Fife fed a robin in his garden; during the winter of 1890, workers in London were seen giving their lunches to songbirds. The real change took place in the 1980s, when a few farsighted businessmen realized that encouraging the British to be more generous to garden birds can help them make money. Therefore, various kinds of bird food and modern bird feeders were produced. As a result, the number of species using garden feeding stations increased very quickly, from about 10 to over 100. Then, in 2005, Springwatch came, which turned our love of garden birds into an entertainment show.
Is bird feeding completely good for birds? Not everyone thinks so. Studies by the Zoological Society of London have shown that by bringing together many birds, bird feeders may help the spread of disease. In Australia, some bird experts believe—probably wrongly—that bird feeding creates a “dependence culture”.
But we shouldn’t forget one major benefit of feeding garden birds—it connects millions of people to the natural world. This is especially important for people who seldom reach the wider countryside. As I write this, there comes some noise outside my window: several birds were singing and flying around in my garden. It’s a sight I could only imagine years ago, when feeding garden birds just meant throwing hard bread to them.
12. What does the author mean by saying the underlined part in Paragraph 1?
A. Feeding garden birds is a huge waste of money.
B. We spend quite a lot of money on the food of garden birds.
C. We should care more for our kids rather than garden birds.
D. Feeding garden birds can bring more joy than feeding kids.
13. Which is the reason behind the fact that many birds’ beaks become longer?
A. These birds have given up traditional woodland. B. Food for these birds becomes richer and better.
C. Longer beaks mean more chances of survival. D. These birds grow faster than ever before.
14. What do some bird experts in Australia think of bird feeding?
A. It is completely good for birds.
B. It may help the spread of disease.
C. It connects more and more people to the natural world.
D. It may reduce birds’ ability to find food by themselves.
15. How does the author feel when he hears bird noise outside his window?
A. Annoyed. B. Pleased. C. Surprised. D. Bored.

My own unexpected anger seemed to come out of nowhere just a few weeks ago. But looking back, I can see that a lot of little things had been slowly building up.
The first one happened when I was taking care of my little brother and sister. “Oh, it’s already your bedtime!” I said as I looked at the clock, “Let’s put everything away.” “Not yet,” Indi said, dumping (倒出) out a bin full of blocks. What’s worse, Tex dumped two more bins. Right then, my mom stuck her head into the room.
“Hi,” she said, “Why aren’t you two in bed?”
“We’re making a village!” said Indi. “It’s beautiful,” said my mom, “But it’s very late, so let’s go to brush your teeth! Oh, Jack, would you please put everything away?” “No fair,” I thought as I squashed (压制) down my feelings.
The next day, Tex asked if he could play at his friend’s house, and my dad said, “Sure! Go and have fun!” Then I said, “I’m going to skateboard with my friend,” and my dad said, “Don’t you have that big homework to finish?” I squashed down my feelings again and went to do my homework unhappily.
But that was not the end. As we got back home from a tiring trip, Tex and Indi raced inside for a snack. “I’m hungry too,” I said, heading after them. “Wait, honey,” my mom stopped me, “Give me a hand with these bags.” And my feelings couldn’t be squashed down any longer and turned into a volcanic explosion.
“It’s not fair!” I shouted, “Tex and Indi get to do whatever they want whenever they want, but you and Dad never give me a break.” “I know I’m older,” I continued, “I know I’m responsible for more stuff than they are, but sometimes I wish things could be more fair!” Saying all that stuff out aloud made me feel much better but left my family completely at a loss.
After an awkward silence my mom sighed, “Maybe we need a family meeting.”
