11、ant; and they dont have to dress up to do it!Cons:Unpredictable Weather: your child will be facing adverse(不利的) weather conditions.Early Morning Hours: newspapers have to arrive early, many times by 5:00 in the morning. But your children might have to be up as early as 2: 00 a. m. to get the papers
12、out on time. Collecting Money: It can be intimidating(令人胆怯的 ) for some children to ask strangers for money.What Kids Can Learn About Money (by doing a paper route):Paper routes depend on punctuality of the paper delivery.

19、ts and children.D. Only children whose parents own a business can workBResearch shows that childhood friendships are important indicators of future success and social adjustment.Childrens relationships with peers (同龄人) strongly influence their success in school，and children with fewer friends are mo
20、re at risk of dropping out of school，becoming depressed and other problems.Making and Keeping Friends Is More than Childs PlayWhen 6yearold Rachel returned to school on a recent Monday morning,her eyes immediately scanned the playground for her friend Abbie.“Though they were only separated by a week
21、end，the girls ran right into each others arms and hugged，”recalls Rachels mother Kathryn Willis of Gilbert.“It was like a scene from a movie.” Most parents instinctively (本能地) know that having friends is good for their child.Experts agree that friendship is not simply childs play ,but a powerful pre
22、dictor of social adjustment throughout life.A Skill for Life“Childhood friendships serve as a very important training ground for adulthood，” says Dr.Robbie AdlerTapia psychologist with the Center for Childrens Health & Life Development at the East Valley Family Resource Center.Researcher William Har
23、tup states，“Peer relations contribute significantly to both social and cognitive (认知的) development.” Hartup concludes that the single best childhood predictor of adult social adaptation is not school grades or classroom behavior，but rather, how well a child gets along with other children.The work of
24、 Arizona State University professor of Developmental Psychology Gary Ladd proves that just as being able to make and keep friends is beneficial to kids，so is the lack of friends detrimental.Good Friendships Dont Just HappenExperts agree that it is essential for children to establish highquality frie
25、ndships. But, researchers warn, these friendships dont necessarily just happen. Often, a good friendship begins with involved parents.Psychologist Dr.Lynne Kenney Markan believes kids should be taught social skills in much the same way they are taught math and reading.Bad CompanyMany parents worry a
26、bout the quality as well as the quantity of their childs friendships.“When she was in 1st grade，her supposed best friend began calling her names and threatening to hurt her，” says Mindy Miller.“My daughter wasnt allowed to talk to or even look at other girls in her class.It really crushed her spirit
27、.I told my daughter she didnt need a friend like that.”“Ill bend over backwards to help my son get together with a friend I think is good for him，” AdlerTapia says.“I dont look at it as manipulation (操纵)，just positive parental involvement.”24. The example of Rachel and Abbie is used to illustrate th
28、at_.Achildhood friendship is of great significance to their growthBa positive friendship helps children solve emotional and physical problemsCit is a proven fact that peer friendship is the most rewarding experience throughout lifeDRachel missed her friend Abbie very much because of their separation
29、 of one weekend25. The underlined word “detrimental” could be replaced by_.Aaggressive Bdisappointing Cridiculous Dharmful26. We can learn from the passage that highquality friendship most probably results from_.Asocial skills and good study habits Bschool grades and classroom behaviorsCacademic suc
30、cess and social adaptation Dpositive parental involvement and social skills27. From the last paragraph we can conclude that Dr.Robbie AdlerTapia agrees that_.Aparents should regard making friends as something that just happensBits wise for parents to support and encourage healthy peer relationshipsC
31、parents only need to help their children to cope with difficult social situationsDparents are supposed to encourage their children to make as many friends as they canCMany college students turn to ADHD（注意缺陷障碍）medicine during the exam week, which is regarded as “smart drugs” that will help their acad
32、emic（学术的）performance. The thinking is that if the drugs help students with ADHD improve their focus, they should provide the same benefit for people who dont have the disorder.But a new study shows that drugs can actually damage brain function of healthy students who take the drug hoping to boost th
33、eir intelligence. “Its not a smart drug which will suddenly improve their ability to understand information they read,” said Lisa Weyandt, a professor at the University of Rhode Island.To test whether this effect is real or not, researchers organized 13 students to take part in two five-hour study s
34、essions（一段时间）in the lab. The students took the standard 30mg ADHD drugs before one session, and a sugar pill before the other. Students on ADHD drugs did experience an increase in their blood pressure and heart rates. “The medicine was having an effect on their brain,” Weyandt said. The students als
35、o showed an improvement in their ability to focus, the researchers found.However, students on ADHD drugs experienced no improvement in reading comprehension, reading fluency or knowledge reviews, compared to when theyd taken a sugar pill. “We read aloud stories to them and asked them to recall infor
36、mation from the stories, ”she said. “That didnt improve.”Worse, the ADHD drug actually harms students memory. Its often misused because people pull all-nighters and theyre tired, and they think its going to keep them awake. Maybe it does, but its certainly not going to help their academic work. The
