As a young girl growing up in rural Alabama, I never understood why my mom spent so much time baking. And she always made my brother and me   36  her. A whole day every other week was devoted to making bread. It always made our small arms tired.
Despite our best efforts, the flour dust always went everywhere. I   37  to be outside with my playmates, and never   38  my mom’s desire for quality family time with her children, at least when it came to spending it in the   39 . Years have gone by, and I have become a mother myself. I prefer to leave most of the cooking to my husband and he loves it. He’s quite   40  at doing it, too.
On one occasion my husband was   41  dinner, and I was at the kitchen table going through the day’s mail when our little son, Cody, asked if he could help   42 . My husband said yes, and I sat there amused, watching them.
“What are you doing?” I asked.
“Helping dad cook.” he replied with a big   43  on his face. I thought back to those   44  when my mom asked me to help her bake bread, and I was   45 , but obeyed. Per­haps she was trying to create something more than just fresh bread­—maybe a few lasting   46 .
As I watched Cody do it with all his attention, I realized that he had   47  a lasting moment for me, a moment filled with a deep sense of family. I wanted to hold the moment and make it longer, and appreciate the memories my mom had given me years ago in her kitchen.

核心考点
试题【As a young girl growing up in rural Alabama, I never understood why my mom spent】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三


"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me."
You probably heard those lines in grammar school, but do you really agree that harsh (严厉的) or negative words do not harm us? Words have power. Surely we all have had our feelings hurt by something someone said.
We may not say words to hurt others, but the way we interpret (解释) them and how we say them may cause great harm. Here’s an example:
An ancient king dreamed all his teeth had fallen out. He sent for a wise man to explain his dream to him: the dream means that all your relatives will die and you will be left alone!
The king was very angry and threw the interpreter into prison. He then sent for another interpreter who said, "Congratulations! King! You will live many more years. In fact, you will survive all your relatives. Long Live the King!"
Both interpreters gave the same interpretation, but there was a huge difference in the way they said it.
Our speech must be understood by those who hear our words, but the way we say things and the intention behind them have as much power as the words themselves. Words can cause anger or appreciation. Which would you rather receive?
People who say harsh and negative things may not mean to harm, but have you ever known anyone who is a naysayer? They often look at the dark sides of things. They always see the glass as half empty rather than half full. How do you feel when you are around this type of person? Remember words have power. Use them wisely.
小题1:The author mentions the story of the ancient king to show that _____.
A.one dream sometimes has different explanations
B.good words can bring good luck to people
C.people should be careful when talking to a king
D.different ways of saying things have different effects
小题2:The underlined word "naysayer" in the last paragraph refers to a person who always _____.
A.has a negative attitudeB.likes to be praised
C.talks bigD.likes to repeat what others say
小题3:According to the text, how can people understand each other better?
A.By sharing different life experiences
B.By accepting different habits.
C.By properly using words
D.By recognizing different values.
小题4:The author wrote the last paragraph to ______.
A.show how the dark sides of things affect people
B.advise people to see and say things positively
C.show how harsh and negative words hurt people
D.advise people to stay away from negative people
小题5:The passage mainly talks about ______.
A.the power of wordsB.the cruelty of the king
C.how to understand othersD.how to build good relationships

Last summer a tornado hit a small town nearby. I saw in the local newspaper a picture of a young woman a little boy and a younger  36  standing in front of a totally destroyed house eyes wide open with  37  .I noticed their clothing  38  closely matched ours. This would be a good opportunity to teach my children to help those less 39.
I   40   their situation to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Martin, and   41   the boys to donate some of their less favorite toys. My little daughter, Meghan,   42   quietly when the boys piled up the old toys. After a while, Meghan walked up   43   Lucy, her much-loved doll,   44   tightly to her chest. She put her round little   45   into Lucy’s, giving her a final kiss, and then laid her   46   on top of the others. “Oh, honey,” I said,“you don’t have to give Lucy. You love her so much. ”
Meghan nodded, trying to   47   her tears. “Lucy makes me happy, Mummy. Maybe she’ll make that little girl happy, too. ”
The boys watched in surprise   48   their baby sister placed Lucy in the   49  . While I stared at Meghan, reflecting upon my donation, they went, without a word, to their room and both          50   with their valued items. Martin hesitated   51  , then looked over at Meghan and put his model car next to Lucy. Amazed, I removed my old   52   from the box, and   53   it with a new one I had bought the week before, hoping the young woman would   54   it as much.
Anyone can give away what they no longer need, but true generosity is giving what you   55 .     I, who had meant to teach, was taught.
