Ⅱ.阅读理解(共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分)
A
Some children are natural-born bosses.They have a strong need to make
decisions，manage their environment，and lead rather than follow.Stephen Jackson，a Year One student，“Operates under the theory of what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine，”says his mother.“The other day I bought two new Star Wars light sabers(剑)．Later，I saw Stephen with the two new ones while his brother was using the beat-up ones.”
“Examine the extended family，and you'll probably find a bossy grandparent，aunt，uncle or cousin in every generation.It's an inheritable_trait，”says Russell Barkley，a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina.Other children who may not be particularly bossy can gradually gain dominance(支配地位)when they sense their parents are weak，hesitant，or in disagreement with each other.
“Whether it's inborn nature or developed character at work，too much
control in the hands at the young isn't healthy for children or the family.Fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behavior，”says family psychologist John Taylor.“Children”，he says in his book From Defiance to Cooperation，“have secret feelings of weakness”and “a desire to feel safe.”It's the parents' role to provide that protection.
When a “bossy child” doesn't learn limits at home，the stage is set for a host
of troubles outside the family.The overly willful and unbending child may have trouble obeying teachers or coaches，for example，trouble keeping friends.It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways.
“I see more and more parents giving up their power，”says Barkley，who
has studied bossy behavior for more than 30 years.“They bend too far because they don't want to be as strict as their own parents were.But they also feel less confident about their parenting skills.Their kids，in turn，feel more anxious.”
【解题导语】 对孩子而言，无论是生来俱有的还是后天养成的霸道行为都是无益的，因为这种行为的根源是恐惧。父母应为孩子遮风挡雨，而不是纵容他们我行我素。否则他们难以融入社会，陪伴他们的只有无尽的孤独。 11．Bossy children like Stephen Jackson ________.
A．make good decisions
B．show self-centeredness C．lack care from others D．have little sense of fear
解析 推理判断题。根据他母亲所说的话可知他一切以自我为中心。第一段第二句的前半句是说这样的孩子想作出决定，但这并不表明决定是正确的，所以A项错误；C项在文中没有信息支持；根据第三段后半部分可排除D项。 答案 B
12．The underlined phrase “inheritable trait” in Paragraph 2 means ________.
A．inborn nature B．developed character C．accepted theory D．particular environment
解析 猜测词义题。根据本段上一句可推测是遗传所致，下一段第一句的前半句也是暗示。 答案 A
13．The study on bossy behavior implies that parents ________.
A．should give more power to their children B．should be strict with their children
C．should not be so anxious about their children D．should not set limits for their children
解析 推理判断题。倒数第二段提到纵容孩子会导致很多不利于孩子成长的行为发生，最后一段则表明作者明确反对给孩子过多的权力，由此可推断此项正确。 答案 B
14．Bossy children may probably become ________.
A．relaxed B．skillful C．hesitant D．lonely
解析 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句判断此项正确。后三项在文中没有信息支持。 答案 D
15．What is the passage mainly about?
A．How bossy behavior can be controlled. B．How we can get along with bossy children. C．What leads to children's bossy behavior. D．What effect bossy behavior brings about.
解析 主旨大意题。文章先列举了孩子霸道行为的表现，接着分析了可能是与生俱有或后天形成，然后挖掘了家庭内部的深刻根源，由此可推断此项正确。 答案 C
B
If you're in charge of a project，the key to success is getting everyone to want
to help you.As a director，I suggest，I gently push the actors in the direction I want them to go.
In the 1986 movie Nothing in Common，Jackie Gleason's character，Max
Basner，gets fired from his job as a clothing salesman.The scene，shot on a boat，shows Max's hopelessness about being out of work.I was looking for some ways that would allow Max to show his feelings.
Jackie had far more experience at everything than I did，and at first I was
frightened.What could I possibly tell “The_Great_One” about acting？I decided to direct by suggestion，and I sat down with Gleason to talk about the scene.“So Max is sad，right？”I said.Gleason nodded.
“And he's probably still carrying his pens with his name on them—the ones he used to hand out to his customers，right？”Gleason nodded.
“So what would you want to do with the pens after you were fired？” He was silent for a moment.“Why don't I throw them overboard？” I stood up and turned toward the crew.“Hey，everybody，Jackie has a
