When Leon Martin asked for his parents' advice on how to become a UX designer, they both went silent. "In fact, I had no idea what he was talking about," said Anne, his mother. "I don't know whether he was talking about designing clothes, computer programs of a fancy brand of bike."

Even when her 18-year-old son explained that it was something about "behind the scenes" online design,his mother was still a bit lost. I felt like I had totally failed as a parent," she said. "My job as a parent is too pen doors so my children can achieve their potential(潜力),but now can I do that when I don't even understand what their dreams are?"

Anne is not alone. Recent research has found that more than 2/3 of parents in England are now facing the problem. When their children express interest in new education and job choices, they may know nothing about them. More than 75% of parents feel it is almost impossible to offer their children good advice in such a fast-changing job market.

Michelle Reed did a survey of over 2,000 parents of secondary school students in England. She found that many parents were afraid their children hardly follow them. "We all know that parents' opinions and suggestions play an important role in shaping and influencing their children's career dreams," she said. "But we usually depend much on our own experiences. And things have changed so much since most of us were at school."

Bryon Mathew, the writer of the Awesome Career Books, said the world was changing so rapidly that parents should not try to decide on certain careers for their children.

61.What did Leon Martin' parents do with his future job choice?

C. They failed to understand it.     D.They had a clear understanding of it.

62.What should a successful parent be able to do according to Anne?

A. Understand their children's interest in new job choices.

B. Decide on certain careers for their children.

C. Help their children to achieve their potential.

D. Realize their children's dreams.

63. Which of the following is true?

A. Parents know everything about their children's interest in future job choices

B.More than 2/3 of parents know nothing about how to become a UX designer.

C. It is impossible for few of parents to offer good advice to their children in a fast-changing job market.

D. Parents should not try to decide on certain careers for their children.

64.What did Michelle Reed's survey mainly show?

A. Most of the parents in England were facing trouble in accepting new jobs.

B.Parents feared their children would refuse to share their career dreams.

C.A lot of parents found it difficult to help their children with their education.

D. Children's future depends a lot on their parents' working experiences.

65.What could be the best title for the passage?

A. How can children make career choices?

B. How can parents become career advisers?

C. Should children take their parents' career advice?

D. Should parents choose a career for their children?

C

One wet rainy April afternoon, Miss O'Shay, the principal(校长), sent for Nancy Lee to stop by Ler office as school closed. Pupils without umbrellas or raincoats crowded in doorways, hoping to make it home between showers. Outside the skies were gray. Nancy Lee's thoughts were suddenly gray, too.

She did not think she had done anything wrong, yet that tight(紧的)little knot came in her throat just the same as she came near Miss O' Shay's door. Perhaps she had banged her locker too often and too hard. Perhaps the note in French she had written to Sallie halfway across the study hall just for fun had never got to Sallie but into Miss O' Shay's hands instead.

She knocked on Miss O' Shay's door. That pleasant voice said, “Come in.” Miss O' Shay had a way of making you feel welcome, even if you came to be punished.

“Sit down, Nancy Lee Johnson,” said Miss O' Shay. “I have something to tell you.” Nancy Lee sat down. “But I must ask you to promise not to tell anyone yet.”

“I won't, Miss O' Shay,” Nancy Lee said, wondering what on earth the principal had to say to her.

“You are about to graduate,” Miss O' Shay said. And we shall miss you. You have been an excellent student, Nancy, and you will not be without honors (荣誉)on the senior list, as I am sure you know.”At that point there was a light knock on the door. Miss O' Shay called out, “Come in,” and Miss Dietrich entered. “May I be part of this, too?” she asked, smiling.

“Of course,” Miss O' Shay said. “I was just telling Nancy Lee what we thought of her. But I hadn't got around to giving her the news. Perhaps, Miss Dietrich, you'd like to tell her yourself.”

Miss Dietrich was always direct. “Nancy Lee,” she said, “your picture has won the Artist Club scholarship.”

The brown girl's eyes widened, her heart jumped, then her throat tightened again. She tried to smile, but instead tears came to her eyes.

“Dear Nancy Lee,” Miss O' Shay said, “we are so happy for you.” The elderly woman took her hand and shook it warmly while Miss Dietrich smiled with pride.

Nancy Lee must have danced all the way home. She never remembered quite how she got there through the rain. She hoped she had been calm. But certainly she hadn't stopped to tell anybody her secret on the way. Raindrops, smiles, and tears mingled on her brown face. She hoped her mother hadn't yet got home and that the house was empty.

66. How did Nancy feel on her way to Miss O'Shay's office?

A. Scared and nervous.     B.Excited and proud.

C. Tired and bored.      D.Confident and happy.

67. Which of the following is true?

A. Nancy felt nervous because she had done something wrong.

B. Miss Dietrich had nothing to tell Nancy .

C.Miss O' Shay invited Nancy Lee to her office.

D. Nancy did not win the Artist Club scholarship.

68. The word “mingled” probably means “________” according to the passage.

A.rose   B. provided   C.changed   D.mixed together

69. What can we infer from the passage about Nancy?

A. She was Miss Dietrich's best student. B.She would never tell anyone her secret.

C.She was excited about the good news. D.She would try to hide feelings at home.

70.Which is the best title for this story?

A.A New Star.       B.The Happy Girl.

C.A Young Artist.      D.The Exciting News.
