It was not so long ago that parents drove a teenager to college campus, said a tearful goodbye and returned home to wait a week or so for a phone call from the dorm. Mom or Dad, in turn, might write letters—yes, with pens. But going to college these days means never having to say goodbye, thanks to near-saturation of cellphones, e-mails, instant messaging, texting, Facebook and Skype. Researchers are looking at how new technology may be delaying the point at which college-bound students truly become independent from their parents, and how phenomena such as the introduction of unlimited calling plans have changed the nature of parent-child relationships, and not always for the better. Students walking from biology class to the gym can easily fill a few minutes with a call to Mom's office to whine(抱怨)about a professor's lecture. Dad can pass along family news via e-mail. Daily text messaging is not uncommon. Some research suggests that today's young adults are closer to their parents than their predecessors. Professors have figured out that some kids are e-mailing papers home for parents to edit. And Skype and Facebook might be more than just chances to see a face that's missed at home; parents can peer into their little darling's messy dorm room or his messy social life. Experts said the change dates to 9 - 11, which upped parents' anxiety over being out of touch with their children. And the rising cost of college can threaten parents' willingness to let children make mistakes as they learn how to be adults. Many of today's college students have had so much of their schedule programmed, so they may not know what to do with time and solitude, said Barbara Hofer, a Middlebury College psychology professor. Researchers are looking at these changing relationships, formed in the last few years after parents got smartphones and Facebook accounts too and learned how to use them. "There's a tremendous diversity in how kids handle this. Some maintain old rules. But for many, many young people, they grow up essentially with the idea that they don't have to separate from their parents, " said Turklea, professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology whose specialty is technology and relationship. "It's about having an adolescence that doesn't include the kind of separation that we used to consider part of adolescence, " she added. Hofer and colleagues surveyed students at Middlebury in Vermont and at the University of Michigan, two schools different in many ways. But at both, parents and students were in contact frequently, an average of more than 13 times a week. The parents of today's college students were advised to get involved in the children's lives to communicate, communicate, and communicate. All that talk can signal a close, useful relationship, but it also can leave kids lacking what they need to fend for themselves.

A. hole B. uttering C. crack D. quiet E. betrayed F. flattered G. concentrate H. speaking I. wander J. noisy K although L. affection M. hot N. but O. suggested One summer night, on my way home from work I decided to see a movie. I knew the theatre would be air-conditioned and I couldn't face my【C1】______ apartment. Sitting in the theatre I had to look through the【C2】______ between the two tall heads in front of me. I had to keep changing the angle every time she leaned over to talk to him, or he leaned over to kiss her. Why do Americans display such【C3】______ in a public place? I thought the movie would be good for my English,【C4】______ as it turned out, it was an Italian movie. After about an hour I decided to give up on the movie and【C5】______ on my popcorn. I've never understood why they give you so much popcorn! It tasted pretty good, though. After a while I heard no more of the romantic-sounding Italians. I just heard the sound of the popcorn crunching between my teeth. My thought started to【C6】______. I remembered when I was in South Korea, I used to watch Kojak on TV frequently. He spoke perfect Korean—I was really amazed. He seemed like a good friend to me, until I saw him again in New York speaking perfect English instead of perfect Korean.

Once we had begun to learn a few words, my mother【C8】______ that we all should speak English at home. Everyone agreed, but our house became very【C9】______ and we all seemed to avoid each other. We sat at the dinner table in silence, preferring that to【C10】______ in a difficult language. Mother tried to say something in English but it came out all wrong and we all burst into laughter and decided to forget it! We've been speaking Korean at home ever since.

— Must I finish it before 10 o'clock? — No, you _____.

A. weak B. as C. difficult D. convincing E. missing F. surprise G. consumption H. prices I. conversely J. help K. foxed L. off M. overwhelmingly N. spot O. dumb When shopkeepers want to lure customers into buying a particular product, they typically offer it at a discount. According to a new study to be published in the Journal of Marketing, they are【C1】______ a trick. A team of researchers, led by Akshay Rao of University of Minnesota, looked at consumers' attitudes to discounting. Shoppers, they found, much prefer getting something extra free to getting something cheaper. The main reason is that most people are【C2】______ at fractions. Consumers often struggle to realise, for example, that a 50% increase in quantity is the same as a 33% discount in price. They【C3】______ assume the former is better value. In an experiment, the researchers sold 73% more hand lotion when it was offered in a bonus pack than when it carried an equivalent discount. This numerical blind【C4】______ remains even when the deal clearly favours the discounted product. In another experiment, this time on his undergraduates, Mr. Rao offered two deals on loose coffee beans: 33% extra free or 33%【C5】______ the price. The discount is by far the better proposition, but the experiment shows the supposedly clever students viewed them【C6】______ equivalent Marketing types can draw lessons beyond just pricing, says Mr. Rao. When advertising a new car's efficiency, for example, it is more【C7】______ to talk about the number of extra miles per gallon it does, rather than the equivalent percentage fall in fuel【C8】______. There may be lessons for officials who regulate prices too. Even well-educated shoppers are easily【C9】______. Sending everyone back to school for maths seems out of the question. But more prominently displayed unit prices in shops and advertisements would be a great【C10】______.
