What is one thing that would help parents understand their kids better？ More than 8，000 US kids answered this question in an online poll （投票） by KidsHealth．org．

Many US kids ﹣ two out of three ﹣ said they get along with their parents． But that doesn't mean they never disagree． In fact， most kids reported arguing with their parents，at least sometimes．And two out of five kids said arguments sometimes even include shouting at each other．

"It's certainly normal to disagree and argue，" says Darcy Lyness， an American expert． "But it's also important to learn how to do so respectfully （尊重地）． Be patient． Don't use a raised， angry voice．"

And not surprisingly， three out of four kids said they had lied to their parents sometimes． Many said they lie so they would not get in trouble or disappoint their parents． According to Lyness，lying isn't just wrong． It can actually have bad results． Telling the truth builds trust．

Telling the truth， says Lyness， shows maturity （成熟）．But older kids actually lie more often than younger ones． Kids aged 12 to 14 not only said they lie more，but they also reported having less fun， feeling less close and not getting along as well with their parents．

According to Lyness， those feelings are common．As kids become more independent （独立），they have more areas of disagreement with their parents．But it doesn't have to be that way．"Kids and parents get along differently at each stage of the journey，" she says． "As kids grow and change， it is important for everybody to change．"

（1）In Lyness's opinion， kids　　 their parents．

A． never agree with

B． may argue with

D． can shout at

（2）Why do some kids lie to their parents？　　

A． They don't trust their parents．

Possible Earth﹣Like Planet Next Door？

Scientists say they discovered an earth﹣like planet outside our solar system （太阳系）． It is a planet that could support life．

This planet is just 4.2light years away from us． It is so close that space scientists have considered it as a next door neighbor． They say it could be reached by an unmanned spaceship before the end of the century ﹣﹣ in time for people alive today to see it．

An international team of scientists found the planet moving around the star called "Proxima Centauri"． The result came out last month from the scientific magazine Nature．

Scientists have long thought that a planet with water is important for life． And it has to be neither too hot nor too cold． The newly﹣discovered planet is a little larger than earth Scientists have named it Proxima B． It moves around its sun， Proxima Centauri， once every 11days．

American scientists have been using instruments for years to look for earth﹣like planets． In 2013， scientists' best guess was that there are about one billion （1，000million） "earths" in space．

Alan Boss is the chairman of a group for outer space research． He said that Proxima B not only confirms （确认） the discovery of a planet， but also increases the number of other possible"earths" greatly．

Boss said it is possible， even likely， that most stars have at least one earth﹣like planet， which he considers surprising．

So from the early number of a billion， this new research suggests there may be as many possible earth﹣like planets as there are stars in the Galaxy （银河系）． That is， anywhere from 250billion to 500billion "earths"．

This makes the possibility of living things increasingly likely Boss said he believes human beings will be able to show that there is life in places besides earth in his lifetime． "I am 65，" he said， "but I expect to still be alive when it happens．"

（1）When will it be possible for an unmanned spaceship to reach Proxima B？____

A．	In about eighty years．
B．	In about 4． 2years．
C．	In about eleven days．
D．	In about one billion years．

（2）In the fourth paragraph， the writer thinks that ____ is necessary for life．

A．	water
B．	light
C．	air
D．	wind

（3）What does the underlined word "This" stand for in the last paragraph？____

A．	Scientists have discovered an earth﹣like planet last month．
B．	There are far more earth﹣like planets than people thought．
C．	Proxima B is not far from earth and is just like our neighbor．
D．	The Galaxy will be the only place for living things to live in．

（4）What does Alan Boss mean by saying "but I expect to still be alive when it happens"？　____

A．	His health is in good state and he's sure he will live a long life．
B．	Science is developing much faster than ever in recent years．
C．	Scientists may soon find fact that there's life on other planets．
D．	America is far ahead of other countries in space research．

Hello and welcome to "Words and Their Stories"． We will research into some commonly used words and expressions． As with other languages， American English is rich in expressions that come from animals． Today we will talk about the wolf．

Wolves are important animals in the traditions and stories of America． Before the Europeans arrived at north America in the 1500s， to native （土著的） Americans， wolves often meant being brave．

However， in English， wolves are not to be trusted． Perhaps wolves attacked too many people or ate too many farm animals． Whatever the reason， wolves were killed in many places． So many died that they almost became endangered． They also became known as bad animals．

To begin with， there is an expression lone wolf． If we call somebody a lone wolf， he isn't a bad person， but he may like to do things by himself． In fact， he sometimes makes you think he doesn't want to be around people because he dislikes them．

Now， let's move on to the home． Parents tell their children not to wolf down their food． In other words， the child eats too quickly and without care． And if someone says a child was raised by wolves， that child has bad manners and is behaving like a wild animal．

A wolf call is the noise made by a man to show that he likes the way a woman looks． But a wolf call is not a nice thing． These men sound rude． And trust me， most women really hate wolf calls． So， they don't help a man in the game of love．

By the way， there is a popular expression about wolf from a very old story： a wolf in sheep's clothing． A wolf in sheep's clothing describes someone who acts and looks nice on the outside but is bad on the inside． It tells us not to be fooled by appearances．

（1）What can we know after reading the passage？____

A．	Wolves are dangerous and should be killed in order to protect other animals．
B．	B Only in American English can we expect to find expressions about wolves．
C．	C In different areas and times， wolves make people think of different things．
D．	Nobody lived in north America before the Europeans went there in the 1500s．

（2）If a person is called a lone wolf， which of the following things is he most likely to do？　____

A．	Helping classmates to finish homework．
B．	Stealing money if nobody is watching．
C．	Making many friends with people around．
D．	Going to see a movie on his own after school．

（3）Which of the following expressions can be used on a student who often breaks school rules？____

A．	A lone wolf．
B．	Raised by wolves．
C．	Wolf call．
D．	A wolf in sheep's clothing．

（4）Where is it possible for us to find the passage above？____

A．	A book for travel guide．
B．	A magazine on trade and business．
C．	A science report．
D．	A program for English learning．
