12．Getting your teen to think beyond his own immediate needs can be more difficult than cracking a nut with a plastic fork．But don't worry．It's not impossible．There are many ways to encourage your teen to care about those outside his immediate circle of friends．As he begins to have responsibility towards others，he will realize he feels even better about himself．
"Teens are thinking about career，college，and what their future might look like，"explains Michelle Midenberg，a clinical director of Westchester Group Works，a center for group treatment in New York．"This is very challenging and just one of the reasons why they are so focused on their own world．"Once teens participate h community service，howeer，they begin to look beyond their personal needs．They also learn firsthand about the challenges others face，and they experience a sense of authority as they realize they can make a real difference in others'lives．
Not sure how to convince a teen to get away from the cell phone and into a community project？Teens buy into community service when the project or program is in an area of their interest．
"Finding something in an are of interest for them keeps them motivated and inspired，"Maidenberg says．For instance，if he is interested in culinary （烹飪） school，he could volunteer in a soup kitchen or bake for a project that supports families in need．Volunteer projects in your teen's area of interest will build her knowledge base as well as help others．
Parents can do their part by participating in community service themselves．Teens can learn directly from their parents that personal enjoyment is not，all tha matters．
Let teens know the benefits they will obtain．"Give them every reason in the world to volunteer，"Maidenberg advises．She says that working on community service projects builds confidence．"By working with others，teens improve managerial，interpersonal and communication skills．Community service helps to approach maturity when they take a step back to see the needs of other people，"she adds．Another reward：service hours look great on a resume!

64．According to Michelle Maidenberg，it's hard to get teens to think beyond their own immediate needs partly becauseD．
A．they care more about their circle of friends
B．they have no interest in doing anything
C．they have to work hard for college
D．they are facing many challenges
65．The underlined phrase"buy into"in Paragraph 3probably meansA．
A．a(chǎn)gree to join in    B．spend money on  C．get away from     D．a(chǎn)re interested in
66．The writer mntions the benefits in the last paragraph in order toC．
A．make teens feel much better about themselves
B．encourage teens to care about his own needs
C．help parents reason teens into volunteering
D．get parents to do more community service．

分析 讓你的孩子擺脫眼前利益的桎梏而去做長遠(yuǎn)考慮無異于和用塑料叉子去砸開一個(gè)核桃一樣困難．但是不用擔(dān)心，這并不是毫無可能的．
有很多方法讓你的孩子去做到不只是關(guān)心他們自己狹窄的朋友圈．當(dāng)他對(duì)其他人感到負(fù)有責(zé)任的時(shí)候，他將會(huì)意識(shí)到他對(duì)自己的感覺會(huì)更好．
"孩子們思考著事業(yè)，學(xué)業(yè)，和他們未來可能會(huì)怎樣，"Westchester Group Works的臨床主任 Michelle Maidenberg解釋說．Westchester Group Works是紐約的一個(gè)群體治療的中心．
"要解決這一點(diǎn)非常難，而且這是孩子們太過專注自己世界的原因之一．"然而一旦孩子們參加到社/會(huì)服務(wù)事業(yè)中去，他們就會(huì)開始從高于自身利益著眼．
他們也同時(shí)會(huì)直接了解到其他人所面臨的困難和挑戰(zhàn)；當(dāng)他們能為別人的生命做出貢獻(xiàn)的時(shí)候
他們會(huì)體驗(yàn)到一種權(quán)威的意識(shí)．
不知道怎樣使孩子離開電話粥而投身入社/會(huì)事業(yè)？孩子們會(huì)對(duì)社/會(huì)事業(yè)買賬，如果他們發(fā)現(xiàn)他們對(duì)這項(xiàng)社/會(huì)事業(yè)的領(lǐng)域感興趣的話．
"尋找到一個(gè)能激勵(lì)打動(dòng)孩子們的一個(gè)領(lǐng)域，"Maidenberg說．比如，如果孩子對(duì)烹飪學(xué)校感興趣，他就會(huì)自愿參加例如流動(dòng)廚房或者為困難家庭做飯這樣的項(xiàng)目．
志愿參加這些孩子們感興趣的項(xiàng)目不僅可以幫助他人，還可以幫助孩子們增長知識(shí)．
父母們也能在參與社/會(huì)服務(wù)的項(xiàng)目中助一臂之力．因?yàn)楹⒆觽兪菑母改改抢镏苯訉W(xué)習(xí)到，個(gè)人的快樂并不是最重要的．
讓孩子們知道他們將會(huì)獲得的收益．"給他們參與志愿活動(dòng)的充分理由．"Maidenberg建議說．
她說，在社會(huì)服務(wù)項(xiàng)目工作同時(shí)幫助建立自信．"通過與他人合作，孩子們提高自己管理，人際和交流的技能．當(dāng)孩子們邁出了這一步，看到他人的需要，社會(huì)服務(wù)幫助他們?nèi)諠u成熟．"她補(bǔ)充說，另一個(gè)好處是：社區(qū)服務(wù)時(shí)間會(huì)對(duì)孩子們的簡歷有很大的幫助!

解答 64-66 DAC
64．D  細(xì)節(jié)題．由第二段第二句"This is very challenging and just one of the reasons why they are so focused on their own world．"可知說明部分原因是他們要面對(duì)許多挑戰(zhàn)，正確答案為D．
65．A  推斷題．由文章第二段倒數(shù)第二句"Once teens participate h community service，however，they begin to look beyond their personal needs．"可知作者鼓勵(lì)青少年參加社區(qū)服務(wù)，由此推斷劃線詞所在句"Teens buy into community service when the project or program is in an area of their interest．"意為"當(dāng)這項(xiàng)工作或計(jì)劃屬于他們感興趣的領(lǐng)域時(shí)，青少年就會(huì)投身社區(qū)服務(wù)"，所以 buy into 意為"參與，投身于"，故正確答案為A．
66．C  細(xì)節(jié)理解 由最后一段第二句"Give them every reason in the world to volunteer．"可知作者列舉志愿服務(wù)的好處是為了說服青少參與志愿服務(wù)，故正確答案為C．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文考查細(xì)節(jié)題為主，細(xì)節(jié)題可以在文章中直接找到與答案有關(guān)的信息或是其變體．搜查信息在閱讀中非常重要它包括理解作者在敘述某事時(shí)使用的具體事實(shí)、數(shù)據(jù)、圖表等細(xì)節(jié)信息．在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都屬于這類圍繞主體展開的細(xì)節(jié)．做這類題一般采用尋讀法即先讀題，然后帶著問題快速閱讀短文，找出與問題有關(guān)的詞語或句子，再對(duì)相關(guān)部分進(jìn)行分析對(duì)比，找出答案．

3．"Ten years ago I could never have imagined I'd be doing this，"says Greg Pal，33，a former software executive．"I mean，this is essentially agriculture，right？But the people I talk to，especially the ones coming out of business school，think this is the one hot area everyone wants to get into．"
He means bugs．To be more accurate，the genetic（基因的） change of bugs---very，very small ones---so that when they feed on agricultural waste such as woodchip or wheat straw，they do something extraordinary．They excrete （排泄） crude oil．
Unbelievably，this is not science fiction．Mr．Pal holds up a small cup of bug excretion that could，in theory，be poured into the tank of the big Lexus SUX next to us．Not that Mr．Pal was willing to risk it just yet．He gives it a month before the first vehicle is filled up with what he calls"renewable petroleum"．After that，he smiles，"It's a brave new world．"
Mr．Pal is a senior director of LS9，one of several companies in or near Silicon Valley．The company is not interested in using corn as material，given the much-advertised problems created by using food crops for fuel．Instead，different types of agricultural waste will be used according to whatever makes sense for the local climate and economy：wheat straw in California，for example，or woodchip in the south．
Are Americans ready to be putting genetically changed bug excretion in their cars？"It's not the same as with food，"Mr．Pal say．"We are putting these bacteria in a very isolated container．Their entire universe is in that tank．When we've done with them．they are destroyed．"
"Besides"，he says，"there is greater good being served．""I have two children，and climate change is something that they are going to face．The energy crisis is something that they are going to face．We have a collective responsibility to do this．"

72．Greg Pal used toC．
A．have great interest in bugs
B．major in agriculture
C．be engaged in developing software
D．study in a business school
73．To make the bugs excrete crude oil，Greg Pal has toB．．
A．keep them in an isolated tank
B．change their genes first
C．change their usual diet first
D．kill them for bacteria
74．We can infer from the passage thatC．
A．it is a very complex process for bugs to produce oil
B．it is not worthwhile for Mr．Pal to do the experiment
C．it is safe to use the excretion produced by bugs
D．it is necessary to use bugs to produce crude oil
75．What would be the best title for the passage？A
A．Bugs Eat Waste and Excrete Petrol
B．Waste Turns into Crude Oil
C．A Promising Business
D．Software Executive Turned to Bugs．
