IV. Reading Comprehension
(A)
I’m not a good traveler. I suffer from car sickness, sea sickness and air sickness. Sometimes I feel ill when I am riding a bicycle! Therefore I was hesitant before I accepted an invitation from my sister, Lucy, to join her for a holiday in Hawaii. The problem was the six hour flight from Tokyo. On the other hand, I had not seen Lucy for nearly two years, and a holiday in Hawaii was very attractive.
We met up in Narita Airport. The flight took off, and I experienced the usual queasy(想嘔吐的) feeling in my stomach. I had taken some travel sickness pills but these never seem to work?for me. I missed lunch and settled into my seat to try to sleep.
About four hours into the flight, I was woken by some violent bouncing(彈跳). The flight attendants were hurrying through the plane, telling people to sit down quickly and to fasten their seatbelts. Then suddenly the plane seemed to fall out of the sky. We must have dropped several thousand metres. I was thrown into the air before my seatbelt pulled me back again. The cabin lights went out and many people started screaming.
It seemed like ages, but was probably only few seconds before the plane was under control again. There were still some bumps, but nothing as bad as before. My heart was pounding and I was very, very sick.
A few minutes later, the pilot’s calm voice came over the intercom. “Ladies and gentlemen,”?he said, “I am afraid we hit some unexpected and severe turbulence(氣流). We shall continue to Honolulu and expect to arrive there on schedule?in a little over one?hour’s time. Please keep your seatbelts fastened at all times for the rest of the flight.”
We reached Honolulu safely and had a good holiday, but I will never forget that flight.

Parents should stop blaming themselves because there’s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.
I’ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself (懶散地躺) on the sofa in full?length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in , and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me . His mother was ashamed. “I don’t know what to do with him these days,” she said. “He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.”
He hasn’t forgotten them. He’s just decided that he’s not going to use them. She confessed(承認(rèn)) that
she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.
Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table,
stare at me and say, “I don’t like your dress, it’s ugly.” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.
“Where did we go wrong?” her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.
?

A. a specialist in teenager studies B. a headmaster of a middle school
C. a parent with teenager children D. a doctor for mental health problems

55. From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters _______.
A. pay no attention to them B. are too busy to look after them
C. have come to hate them D. feel helpless to do much about them
56. What is the author’s opinion about the sudden change in teenage children?
A. Parents have no choice but to try to accept it.
B. Parents should pay still more attention to the change.
C. Parents should work more closely with school teachers.
D. Parents are at fault for the change in their children.

Working-from-home Dream Now a Reality
Sunjit Patel is a graphic designer with a well-known publishing company. He has lived in England since he was five. He lives in South London, and for the last three years he has been working from home. Sunjit isn’t alone. __57__ In addition, about eight million people spend some time working at home rather than in an office. This is almost twice as many as ten years ago.
This rapidly-growing trend towards working from home is the same in many countries. But why? The main reason is technological: easy access to broadband and the availability of phone and video-conferencing. These enable people to use their home as an office in an efficient and cost-effective way.
__58__ Office space is costly, so if an organization can reduce its workstations, it may able to move to a smaller site. Employees often work better at home: travelling to work can be very time-consuming and tiring. Many homeworkers save a lot of time if they don’t travel to work and they can start the day fresher and therefore work more efficiently.
Sunjit Patel says, “I have been working from home since my son was born and have been really enjoying it. __59__ I’ve known my boss and colleagues for a long time now, which really helps because you’ve got to trust each other. You also need to have regular contact, by phone, email or video conference, and you need to make regular trips to your offices. Otherwise you really miss out on the gossip and on the social side of work.”
__60__ This response to a query(詢問) about homeworking was recently posted on the Internet: “The only people who can work from home are those who do an unnecessary job. Can surgeons work from home? Ambulance drivers? Firefighters? If you can work from home full-time, you have a pointless job.” Fortunately for Sunjit and the 2.1 million like him, not many people think that way!
