5．Some places can create strong memories.The following special places are important to Americans who look to the past，but also are thinking of the future.

Historic homes can interest people seeking to connect with the former occupants.A typical one is a very simple，white house in Virginia.This small house in Winchester，Virginia，opened its doors to the public in August.It was home to the singer Patsy Cline，who died at the age of 30.Babe Ruth is considered one of the greatest baseball players in history.He was born in a house in Baltimore，Maryland.With his house visitors are given plenty of opportunities to touch where Babe Ruth walked around.

6． Cindy，my dog，was six years old when my son Tony was born.And she was immediately very protective over him.We lived near a busy road.As my son was too young，we were super vigilant for fear that he should go out of the front door.
Cindy knew that our son wasn't allowed to go through the front door without us，so whenever Tony touched the front door handle，she would push him back.One morning，around 4 am，our son somehow managed to "escape" through his bedroom window，and Cindy had to follow.
At 5 am，the police woke us knocking on the door.They said， "Your son was nearly killed but the dog saved him." They then repeated what the truck driver had said.
He told them that he was driving along in the dark and in the distance he could see something "light coloured" moving on the road.As he got closer，he could see a dog at the side of the road barking at it.At the last moment，he realized that it was a child and was about to change the direction.The dog was still barking，glancing （扫视） between the truck and the child.While the driver was braking （刹车），the dog ran out into the road，jumped at the child's back and threw him out of the path of the truck.At the same time，the truck hit the dog and she was killed.
The driver said that he'd never believe what he saw unless it was with his own eyes.He thought that the dog definitely knew the danger，which was why she was barking so anxiously.He said "that dog just saved that kid's life and it knew what it was doing."
That was 39 years ago and I still miss Cindy every day.

7．Today's world is not an easy adjustment for young adults.Key skill set for success is persistence （毅力），a characteristic that researchers say is heavily influenced by fathers.Researchers from Brigham Young University discovered that fathers are in a unique position to help their adolescent children learn persistence.
BYU professors Laura Padilla-Walker and Randal Day arrived at these findings after following 325 American families over several years.And over time，the persistence gained through fathers led to higher achievement in school.
"There are relatively few studies that stress the unique role of fathers，" Padilla-Walker said. "This research also helps to prove that characteristics such as persistence-which can be taught-are key to a child's life success."
Researchers determined that dads need to practice an "authoritative" parenting style.Authoritative parenting is not authoritarian：rigid，demanding or controlling.Rather，an authoritative parenting style includes some of the following characteristics：children feel warmth and love from their father；responsibility and the reasons behind rules are stressed children are given an appropriate level of autonomy（自主权）.
In the study，about 52 percent of the dads exhibited above-average levels of authoritative parenting.A key finding is that over time，children raised by an authoritative father were significantly more likely to develop persistence，which leads to better outcomes in school.
This particular study examined 11 to 14-year-olds living in two-parent homes.Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a role in teaching the benefits of persistence，which is an avenue of future research.
（1）What is special about the BYU professors' study？
A．It centered on fathers' role in parenting.
B．It was based on a number of large families.
C．It analyzed different kinds of parenting styles.
D．It aimed to improve kids' achievement in school.
（2）What would an authoritative father do when raising his children？
A．Ignore their demands.
B．Make decisions for them.
C．Control their behaviors.
D．Explain the rules to them.
（3）Which group can be a focus of future studies according to the researchers？
A．Single parents.
B．Children aged from 11 to 14.
C．Authoritarian fathers.
D．Mothers in two-parent homes.
（4）Which of the following is the best title for the text？
A．Three Characteristics of Authoritative Fathers.
B．Key Skills for Young Adults to Succeed in Future.
C．Children Tend to Learn Determination from Father.
D．Family Relationship Influences School Performance.组卷：10引用：5难度：0.5 -

A．As a consequence，songs sound like nothing but noise for such a person，many of whom compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other.

C．Many amusics are relieved when their condition is finally diagnosed.For years，Margaret felt embarrassed about her music problem.Now she knows that she is not alone.

E.Scientists note that the brains of amusics vary from those of people who can enjoy music.The difference is complex，and it is not connected with poor hearing.组卷：3引用：2难度：0.5

9．Self-disciplined people are not all outstanding people.（1）
.Some of them read every day.Some of them never run late.The real difference between an elite（精英）person and an ordinary person is that an elite person can manage his or her time well.（2）.
What people call self-discipline is in fact self-management.One example is staying fit.Never underestimate someone who is in good shape.Anyone who has ever tried to lose weight knows that it's not easy.（3）.If someone is in good shape，it shows that he knows the principles of staying fit and is able to stick to a plan that uses these principles.
If someone is in good shape，it means that this person is good at managing themselves and their time.（4）.It also shows that this person is able to keep persevering and can balance long-term goals with short-term goals.So if someone is in good shape，he or she is more than just healthy.
（5）.First of all，set a goal and write down your reasons for wanting to achieve it.
Create a list of all the things you need to do to achieve this goal and start to work on them one at a time.With self-discipline，small things in life will no longer trouble you.Only through self-discipline can you truly own your future.
A.How do you learn self-management？
B.That's where their success comes from.
C.This skill gives you the power to stick to your decisions.
D.But nearly all outstanding people are self-disciplined people.
E.Whether it is natural or acquired，it is a great skill.
