Exercise 2

NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - Want to strengthen with your teenagers? Try eating dinner with them five times a week, this keeps them off drugs and alcohol -- and the teens also enjoy it.

A survey released Thursday reaffirmed(重新肯定) previous studies that found teenagers who ate dinner as a family five or more times a week are less likely to use drugs, smoke, or drink alcohol than peers who ate with their families two times or less a week.

But the poll of 1,063 teenagers and 550 parents conducted by QEV Analyt ics(分析学) found contrary to many parents' expectations, most teenagers actually wanted to eat with their families.

"About 84 percent of the kids said they would prefer to h ave dinner with their parents," said Elizabeth Planet, project manager of the survey commissioned by

The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) at New York's Columbia University.

"These are teenagers whose parents will tell you they are difficult and don't want to talk. This is not the sense we are getting from the kids themselves. They prefer it."

Teens who had two or less meals a week with their family were 3-? times more likely to have abused prescription medication, three times more likely to have used drug , and one and half times more likely to drink alcohol.

The teens who ate regularly with their families also got better grades, with 64 percent reporting mostly As and Bs compared to 49 percent of other teens.

"These statistics about the link between the likelihood of drug use and the frequency of dinners always surprises me even though we see it year in and year out," said Planet.

学业上的成功取决于你是否有效地利用时间，故答案为A。

1-2. C。由第三条建议中For most people for every hour of study done in daylight hours, it will take them one and a half hours to do the same task at night可知，晚上学习的效率比较低，故答案为C。

1-3. D。由第一、四、七条建议可知A、B、C三项表述正确，D项与第二条建议If possible, plan study time with a partner相违背。

1--4. B。由下文的while you’re waiting for class to start or for a friend to pick you up可知这些时间都是临时的、零散的时间，相对于上文提到的regular (固定的) time，故odd的意思应该是regular的反义词irregular。

答案与解析：

2--1、D．因为文章讲述的是父母每周至少和孩子在一起吃五顿饭给孩子带来的好处，所以这篇文章应是那些太忙以至于没有时间和孩子一起吃饭的父母最感兴趣。

2--2、A．文中提到的父母和孩子每周在一起至少吃五顿饭的好处有：孩子吸毒、酗酒和吸烟的可能性都大大降低；孩子的成绩会更好。B、C、D项的内容文中未提及。

2--3、B．根据上文Overall about 84 percent of the kids said they would prefer to have dinner with their parents可推出孩子更喜欢和父母一起共进晚餐。

2--4、C．根据第三段的内容可知，一项民意测验表明，与父母的料想相反，孩子们愿意和家庭成员一块吃饭。可见，父母原以为孩子不喜欢和家里人一起吃饭。

2--5、A．父母既然知道和孩子一起吃饭有如此多的好处，所以会设法做到这一点。

The high price of gasoline has greatly changed driving patterns ,perhaps always “We are seeing changes in habits.”says Julian Lee from the Center for Global Energy Studies in London. People now prefer to buy small cars instead of gas guzzling(高油耗的)SUVs(运动型多功能汽车). If we see this change it becomes a much longer term problem with long term demand destruction.

In the short term, there’s simple math The price going down could save drivers a great deal of money. However, because the U.S. is out of its peak(顶峰)summer
