A well-dressed man came to a famous jewelry shop. He explained that he wished to buy a pearl for his wife’s birthday. The price didn’t matter. Since business had been very good for him that year. After examining a nice black one that cost $5000, he paid for the pearl in cash, shook hands with the jeweler, and left.
A few days later the man returned and said that his wife liked the pearl so much that she wanted another one just like it. It had to be exactly the same size and quality, because she wanted a pair of earrings made, ―Can you give me any advice on how to get such a pearl? ‖ said the man. The jeweler regretfully replied, ―I would say it’s exactly impossible to find one
2
exactly like that pearl.‖
The rich man insisted that the jeweler advertise in the newspapers, offering $ 25,000 for the matching pearl. Many people answered the advertisement but nobody had a pearl that was just right.
Just when the jeweler had given up hope, a little old lady came into his store. To his great surprise, she pulled the perfect pearl from her purse. ―I don’t like to part with it,‖ she said sadly, ―I got it from my mother, and my mother from hers. But I really need the money. ‖

It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable when they are with their parents. They say that their parents don’t understand them. They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways, that they are too serious and too strict with their children, and that they seldom give their children a free hand.
It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children’s trust and they tend to forget how they themselves felt when young. For example, young people like to act on the spot without much thinking. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. Older people worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected. When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it.
3
Young people often make their parents angry with their choice in clothes, in entertainment and in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble: it is just that they feel cut off from the older people’s world, into which they have not yet been accepted. That’s why young people want to make a new culture of their own, and if their parents do not like their music or entertainment or clothes or their way of speech, this will make the young people extremely happy.
Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say, ―Yes‖ to what you do. All you want is to be felt alone and do what you like. It is natural enough, after being a child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents’ control. If you plan to control your life, you’d better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility, they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.
31. ____are to blame for the quarrels between parents and their children according to this passage.
A. Parents B. Young people
C. Both parents and their children D. Neither parents nor their children
32. According to the passage, young people prefer to _______. A. do things without thinking carefully ahead.
B. ask for advice before they really start to do anything. C. think in the same way as their parents do. D. be very strict with themselves
33. According to the passage, young people want to make a new culture of their own because____.
A. they don’t feel they belong to the world of the older people. B. they do not want to get into trouble.
C. they feel they are as clever as old people. D. they want to show they have grown up.
34. The underlined word “this” in the third paragraph stands for _______. A. the young people’s choice B. their being accepted by their parents
C. developing a new culture of their own D. their parents’ dislike of their choice
35. If a young man intends to control his own life, it’s better for him to _______. A. do everything according to his own wish. B. be responsible for what he does
C. do everything beyond his parents’ control D. do everything the way his parents do.

Millions of kids in the United States attend some kind of camp each summer. Some go to sleep-away camp for weeks, while others attend day camp in their hometowns. There is one thing all those camps have in common, though. More than nine out of 10 kids said camp helped them make new friends and feel better about themselves. __________________
What else do kids get out of camp? Plenty!

Kids who want to be stars on the football field or basketball court have their choice of a variety of summer camps. Some, such as the Let Me Play sessions offered by Nike, are free and provide a few hours of instruction by professional athletes. Other summer sports camp opportunities are offered by professional teams or university athletic departments. Players and coaches usually lead those camps, teaching basic skills as well as teamwork and good sports behavior.
Open up to fun
It’s easy to be yourself if you have something in common with your fellow campers, even when that something is a disease.
A journal entry by one camper describes the camp’s high ropes course as a symbol of everyone there and the challenges they face. ―Climbing it and going through that struggle to get up and push yourself is like getting through the sickness we all were faced with at some point,‖ she writes. There is another reward that comes once climbers reach the top of the ropes course and hear the words ―good job‖ from their fellow campers. It is, ―in a way, coming close to being cured. Even if we aren’t, it felt like it,‖ the camper says. Healthy benefits
There are also health and wellness camps for kids who don’t have any illnesses. For Erin H. of Oklahoma, the first thoughts she had about going to a weight-loss camp were that it would be embarrassing and a waste of time. But as soon as she arrived at Wellspring Adventure Camp, she knew it would be awesome. ―I had the most fun ever!‖ says Erin, who liked Wellspring so much. She stayed for eight weeks instead of the four weeks she’d originally agreed to. ―This camp has helped improve my self-respect 100 percent, and I’m no longer self-conscious.‖
36. The first paragraph serves as _________. A. conclusion B. definition (下定义) C. background D. comment (评论) 37. What is suitable phrase for the blank in the passage? A. Setting a goal B. Developing an ability C. Killing time D. Forming a habit 38. The author mentioned the example of high ropes course to prove_______. A. it was an effective way to cure campers’ illness
B. it had campers know the difficulty to fight against illness C. it made campers realize the importance of health D. it helped campers feel better about their illness
39. From the last paragraph, we know that Erin___________. A. gained a lot from the weight-loss camp B. stayed in the weight-loss camp for four weeks
C. thought taking part in the weight-loss camp was useless D. felt embarrassed about her appearance now
40. The purpose of writing this passage is to ____________. A. give advice on how to choose a suitable camp B. compare sleep-away camps and day camps
C. advertise for some famous summer camps D. introduce the benefits of going to a camp

From Japan to Indonesia, a certain kind of pop culture is very hot. But it doesn’t come from Hollywood—it’s Hallyu(韩流), the wave of Korean pop culture that has washed over Asia. It has influenced everything from music to television. And thanks to the Internet and
