Dear daughters,

Most parents tell their children, “You can be anything you want when you grow up.” I feel the same and I say this often. But I also want you to understand that realizing your dreams comesfrom hard work, some good luck and good timing.

Here are some words of wisdom for you as you make your way in the world, from an entrepreneur (企业家) and from your mama.

1. Be open-minded to changing your path along the way

In high school, I wanted to be a politician. I left my hometown and went off to college inWashington, DC. There, I discovered that I loved to support women. It taught me that I’m creative, a strong leader and great at marketing. As a result, I moved on to be the head of a national healthcare nonprofit. Becoming a mother while in that job opened my mind to launching a breast pump bag (储奶袋) business. Now I run a highly successful company that I started up on my own. I'm not a politician! 2. Failure is critical to your success

Failure can be heartbreaking. But I will tell you that every failure I’ve had along the way has absolutely made me better.

Failing the big math exam in high school and going to summer school was embarrassing. I eventually passed, and I’ve never failed an exam again. I learned from that experience to ask for help. Now, I ask for help in business all the time.

I’m proud to be a role model to you as a mom and an entrepreneur. I hope I inspire you to believe that you can be anything you want. It will be my pleasure to watch your lives unfold before my eyes.

Love, Your mom

Kids should tell the truth. But a recent study co-authored by the University of Toronto's Kang Lee suggests that learning to lie can confer cognitive（认知的）benefits.

Lee, a professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, and his co-authors based their findings on an experiment in which they asked 42 preschool-aged children in China --- who showed no original ability to lie --- how to play a hide-and-seek game.

They were split into two groups with an equal number of boys and girls, with an average age of about 40 months. Over four days, they played a game in which they hid a treat, such as popcorn, from an adult in

one hand. The grown-up had to choose the hand that the child indicated.

If the child successfully cheated the adult, they got to keep the treat. The experiment group of kids was taught how to lie in order to win the game while the control group was not. The study showed that the kids who were taught deception performed better than the control group.

“With just a few days of instruction, young children quickly learned to cheat and gained immediate cognitive benefits from doing so.” the researchers write in the Journal of Experimental Child Psychology.

“More generally,” the authors add, “these findings support the idea that even seemingly negative human social behaviors may confer cognitive benefits when such behaviors call for goal pursuing, problem solving, mental state tracking and perspective taking.”

Does that mean parents should throw out conventional wisdom and actually teach their kids to lie? Not exactly. “I don't think that would be a good idea, \kinds of deceptive games.”

24. The underlined phrase “deception” in Paragraph5 can be replaced by “_______”. A. The action of telling liesB. The action of keeping honest. C. The action of self-controlD. The action of being naughty 25. What can a child learn from telling lies according to the passage? A. How to get more treats from adults.B.How to pursue goals. C.How to make problems.D.How to play hide-and-seek. 26. It can be inferred from the text that_______.

A. Parents should teach their children to lie. B. Lying can bring children many material benefits. C. Children should learn to lie from playing games. D. Lying can help children survive in society. 27. Which column of a newspaper can you read this article ?

A. Health and Fitness B. Family and Home C. Mind and Health D. Art and Design

C

Shoplifters(小偷家族) is a film about a crisis. The Shibata family live together into a small home with

three generations --- the adults earn low wages; work and struggle to feed and educate the kids. The writer and director Hirokazu Koreeda wants to use his film to address the widening class divides in Japan, which have ruined the country's social safety system.

The situation shoplifters is, on the surface, rather complicated. The whole Shibata family live in the home of grandmother who receives a small pension. That income is added by the others taking odd jobs, and committing small theft（盗窃). Early in the movie, Nobuyo and her husband, Osamu, come across a little girl named Yuri, who has been abandoned and shows signs of abuse. The Shibatas take her in, even though they don’t really have room for her. Early on, Nobuyo offers Yuri something nice and the girl runs away --- she associates gift-giving with her abusive mother, who would buy her things as a cheap apology for her short temper. Nobuyo quickly understands the situation and gathers Yuri into a hug whispering in her ear that this is what people who love you should do.

So much of what the Shibata family does is out of love, but there are heavy prices to pay for not obeying social rules.The final act of Shoplifters, however, is devastating(毁灭性的). After seeing the director tease out every strange bond in this temporary family, investing his audience fully in their future, one finds it that much harder to watch when things fall apart.

28. What is the purpose of the director in making the film Shoplifters ? A. To show that shoplifters meet their crisis in Japan. B. To show that many Japanese people live in small houses. C. To show that the problem of class divides in Japan is serious. D. To show that adults in Japan can not earn enough to support families. 29. What kind of person is Nobuyo in the film? A. She is kind to the helpless children. B. She is good at committing small theft. C. She always does bad things out of love.

D. She always persuades the children to do illegal things.

30. Which one is correct about the audience’s feeling after seeing the film? A. The audience will be moved by the selfless love and happy ending of the story.
