My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried , the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes. In this way he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.
◆ One night I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as a head teacher. “ I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences(缺席).” Before he could say another word I choked up(哽咽). And said sadly, “ I love my son. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The head teacher seriously said, “ Thank you for your time.”
◆ Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. He was even on the list of the best students at school. In his fourth year, I took part in a parent-teacher meeting.I noticed that his teachers were surprised at the way he had turened himself around. On our way home, he said, “ Mum, remember that call from the head teacher last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but I heard what you said, It really hit me how much I was hurting you.That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.”

核心考点

试题【My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, 】；主要考察你对日常生活类等知识点的理解。[详细]

举一反三

Social customs (习俗) and ways of behaving change all the time. Things that were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered to be impolite behavior for a man to smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in the room.
Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn’t matter? What about table manners (行为)?
The Americans and British people not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England, people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seats to women, and so will most Americans. Promptness (准时) is important both in England and in America. That is, the dinner guest (客人) either arrive close to the time that has been made or calls up to explain his delay (耽误).
The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable —especially if they are your guests. There is an old story about a man who gave a very formal dinner party. When the food was served (服务), one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or greatly surprised, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.
小题1:The underlined phrase “make a fool of himself” in the first paragraph means .

A．make himself strong	B．make himself rich
C．make himself comfortable	D．make himself seemed like a fool

小题2: If a dinner invitation is for six o’clock, the guest is supposed to arrive at six.

A．nearly or a minute or two later than	B．a quarter past
C．a quarter to	D．much later than

小题3:The last example in the passage shows .

A．the correct way to use a knife at table

B．that it is good manners not to make your guest feel foolish or uncomfortable

C．that social customs and ways of behaving change too fast

D．that different counties have different customs

小题4:The best title of the passage is .

A．Different Customs	B．Social Customs
C．Customs Are Changing Fast	D．Different Countries, Different Customs

It was quite late at night. I was reading a newspaper in my room when I heard someone knocking at the door. I opened it and saw a young man with glasses standing there. Of course, I didn’t know him.

As he talked, I found that he knew nothing about my sister. Then I came to know that his words were not true. Suddenly my sister came back and the young man was so surprised that he didn’t know what to do for a moment. I caught the man by the arm at once while my sister was calling the police.
