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 e very generation. It’s an ” 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 of 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 “boss 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, or 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.”
31. Bossy children like Stephen Jackson __________.
A. make good decisions B. show self-centeredness
C. lack care from others D. have little sense of fear
32. The underlined phrase “
A. inborn nature B. developed character
C. accepted theory D. particular environment
33. 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 childrenD. should not set limits for their children
34. 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.
B Tony Burke, Australia’s environment minister, says he won’t decide until next year whether
the koala should be protected as an endangered species. He was expected to make his decision by the end of October. But that decision has been put off. Burke said he needed more time to go over the latest information about the koala’s population. In September, an Australian Senate committee reported that there was no question the koala’s population is on the decrease. “But they may not yet be eligible(符合条件) for listing as a threatened species,” said Senator Doug Cameron. “To have suc h a significant Australian icon included on the threatened species list would be a national shame.”
The koala is found only in the eucalyptus(桉树) forests of Australia. And its population is reported to have fallen sharply for many reasons, including the cutting down of forests to make way for human beings’ development, their own illness, climate change and killings by other animals such as wild dogs. And every year many koalas are hit by cars as they are trying to cross the busy roads.
Putting off the decision on protection for the koala “is really bad news,” said Debbie Pointing, the president of the Koala Action Group. “We’ve worked tirelessly for many years to gather data o n the populations,” Pointing said. “That data should be enough to make a decision.”
However, Burke pointed out that the Australian government had spent at least $6.3 million on koala conservation efforts since 1996. Senators listed efforts that are already underway in Queensland —the construction of special koala bridges as well as fences along roads, to keep the animals out of harm’s way. Some people say that is not enough. “What we’re doing at the moment is likely to drive this species to extinction,” Queensland University zoologist Bill Ellis said. “Koalas are an iconic Australian animal,” Burke told Australians. “They hold a special place in the hearts of Australians.” But it is a fact that if more isn’t done to protect the koala, they might soon hold a place only in Australians’ memories.
35. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The habitat of the koala. B. Australia’s traffic problems.
C. The importance of koalas for Australians.
D. Reasons for the decrease of the koala population.
36. According to the passage, Debbie Pointing thinks that __________.
A. the construction of special koala bridges is of little use
B. the government should announce the koala as an endangered species
C. the government is to blame for the decreasing koala population
D. koalas are becoming less important in Australians’ hearts
37. It can be learned from the passage that Tony Burke __________.
A. decided to construct more fences along roads
B. called on Australians to take care of the koala
C. thought the government has done much for koalas
D. was optimistic about the koalas’ future
38. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Australia puts off the decision on whether the koala is endangered.
B. Australia is taking special measures to protect koalas.
C. The population of koalas is reducing rapidly.
D. Australians are concerned about koalas.

Becoming a fireman is a challenging and competitive job today. A fireman’s main duty is being scheduled according to the fighting and extinguishment(熄灭) of fire which definitely requires being a strong man, both mentally and physically.
The duty of a fireman involves protection of life and property of the public. They are the servicemen who are decisively selected by an organization to handle situations like fire. The duty of a fireman intentionally consists of helping innocent people in their time of need. Such type of jobs is one of those few jobs where service is provided for people when they need help immediately. This may include rescuing people from a building at fire, providing them with medical facilities, extinguishing fire in a house or in a large commercial building. Serving people is the main intention of these professionals. The satisfaction which a fireman gets from this type of job cannot be compared to any other profession in the world.
Such profession demands top-level commitment and professionalism from those who have chosen it as a career. Fireman should possess the highest level of courage and patience to put their lives in danger for the sake of others. They undergo lessons of maintaining patience for long hours and go through complete preparation to become successful and well-organized professional firemen. There are certain tests that are recommended before becoming a fireman. It’s not that easy to become a fireman nowadays. A fireman is supposed to deal with unexpected situations, and they should have good communication skills and be self-disciplined at the same time.
In order to be a good fireman, one must undergo strict local fire department’s training program after passing all the tests. All the fire departments conclude a two-to-four-month course, including classroom training and practical training that cover firefighting techniques, fire avoidance, dangerous materials and urgent situation medical actions. Completing this training, trainees go through the department’s trial period of service that can last from three to six months, depending on the methods of selection.
Firemen usually work both indoors and outdoors. They have to be on duty at all times and mostly work in shifts of at least 8 hours. They are also provided with several benefits which include medical aid plan, pension fund, annual leave and many more.
