It describes parents who hover (悬停 ) over their kids like a helicopter. Today, modern technology allow
8、s these helicopter parents to hover from even far away. They can give their children directions at any moment from anywhere. Author Julie Lythcott-Haims wrote a book titled How to Raise an Adult. In her book, she gives readers a closer look at this parenting style. “Over-parenting“, she says, “comes
9、 in three types: the first is the over-protective parents who think the world is scary and unsafe and unpredictable. And therefore, I must protect and prevent. The second type is the over-directive type the parent who says, I know best what leads to success and you will do as I say. You 11 study the
10、se topics, do these activities and you will be highly achieving at all of it. The third type is the concierge (看门人 ) the parent who just wants to make life smoother from waking their kid up, to keeping track of their deadlines, to making sure they haven t forgotten anything, to even doing the homewo
11、rk for the kid. “ Julie Lythcott-Haims says she experienced the effects of helicopter parenting firsthand when she worked as dean of first-year students at Stanford University. The incoming students were very smart and accomplished on paper. But many were unable to take care of themselves. “They wer

Energy Transfer Partners (ETP), a Texas-based company behind the $3.8 billion project, hopes to finish construction this yea
17、r. But the Standing Rock Sioux, an American Indian tribe (部落 ) , is determined to stop the 1,172-mile pipeline from being built. Both sides show no signs of backing down. The Dakota Access Pipeline was announced in 2014. A section of it will run near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation. A reservatio
18、n is an area of land set aside for American Indians. The tribe says the construction threatens to destroy historical areas and ancient burial sites. They also say the pipeline could pollute their main water source, the Missouri River. In April, the Standing Rock Sioux began a protest against the pro
19、ject. They camped at the construction site. Since then, thousands of people, including people from American Indian tribes, have traveled to the site to join the protest. ETP says that the pipeline will have built-in safety measures to protect against oil leaks. Workers will also monitor it remotely,
20、 and will be able to close valves (阀 |) within three minutes if leaks are detected. American Indians have been staging a nonviolent protest for months. The protest took a turn last week when police were called to keep the peace between protesters and armed security guards hired by the company. Twent

In Maine, more than 87,500 acres of fores
26、t will become government-protected parkland for the first time. In Hawaii, a national monument created by President George W. Bush in 2006 will expand to about 582,578 square miles, four times its current size. Obama has now created or enlarged 26 national monuments during his presidency. As a resul
27、t, his administration says, Obama has protected more of the nations land than any other president has. But some residents and officials, in both Maine and Hawaii, object to the plans. They say their local economies depend on the use of these areas. In establishing this monument, Obama took the side
28、of conservationists (自然资源保护者 ) who want laws to protect wild lands. Creating a national park usually requires the approval of Congress. But a 1906 federal law allows the president to establish national monuments on his own. The lands new status as a monument means that mining and drilling operations
29、 are forbidden there. It may also severely limit activities such as logging, road-building, and hunting. Some of Maines politicians who want to protect the states logging industries say Obama should not have acted alone. They say Washington should not tell the states how to use their land, especiall
30、y when peoples jobs are at stake. Maine politician Susan Collins said the president should have listened to Maine lawmakers and residents, as well as to the U.S. Congress before making his decision. However, those who support the presidents decision say the establishment of the new monument will lea
31、d to new jobs through tourism. 21 Which of the following is the best title for the passage? （ A） Creating New Jobs. （ B） Protecting Wild Animals. （ C） Stimulating Local Economies. （ D） Creating New National Monuments. 22 Obama has established or enlarged _national monuments during his two terms. （ A

34、ll, now known as Old City Hall, was designed by Edward James Lennox and declared open on Sept. 18, 1899. Created to provide more space for city officials, it turned out to be the largest building in the city and the largest city building in North America at the time. Lennox took three years to desig
35、n the City Hall and it took 11 years to build it. Contemporaries believe that the odd carvings above the Queen Street entrance were actually caricatures (漫画 ) of councilors at the time. Lennox even included himself in the caricatures, on the west side of the central arch, and left a strange signatur
36、e in the stonework of the link portions of the building. The third City Hall was originally used as councilors offices and legal offices, but it is used only as a courthouse today. When the fourth City Hall (the one we know today) was declared open in 1965, Old City Hall was threatened to be pulled
37、down. It was saved by a group of people called the “Friends of Old City Hall.“ The clock tower stands parallel with the middle of Bay Street, rather than with the center of the building. The bells in the tower were not installed until the building opened. Old City Hall was declared a historical site
