题目
题型:不详难度:来源:
It"s common for parents to feel emotional when the moment comes for their child to leave home and go to university. Even parents who don"t speak about the event are likely to feel a sense of sadness because it’s the end of an era where you and your family were at the centre of your child"s world. As a parent you’ll probably continue to support your child in different ways, but the main job of raising your child is over. It"s a huge change for everyone involved.
There are a few things that you can do to make the transition easier. Plan carefully for your child"s departure and think about how you can help. Many parents take their child to university for the first time. If you decide to do that, be ready to feel a real wrench when the time comes to say goodbye. Your child will probably be as nervous as you are about the moment when you finally say goodbye – but that might not show!
Be positive and cheerful about the choice your child has made to continue studying, and plan to leave once you"ve unpacked the car and looked around your child"s new living accommodations. If you can, save your tears for the car – you"ll make things easier on your child and yourself.
The more you"ve invested in being a parent, the more you"ll feel a sense of loss, so the sadness you feel now is a sign that you"ve been a good mom or dad. Remind yourself that parenting is all about raising an independent and confident child who functions well without you. If your child quickly settles and starts enjoying himself, you should congratulate yourself.
It"s also only fair to allow yourself some time to grieve(悲痛). Don"t expect to pick yourself up and move on straight away. But you may decide to find a hobby or sport to fill your extra time. Perhaps you"ve always wanted to learn a new language, go to yoga classes or take up swimming. You may decide to spend more time with family and close friends, who are likely to be feeling the absence of your child as well.
Agree on the best approach to staying in touch before your child leaves, and stick to your agreement. Try not to panic if your child doesn"t respond immediately – remember, they"re starting a new and busy life.
小题1:Why do parents feel sad when their child leaves home for college?
A.Because the absence of their child makes them feel lonely.
B.Because their children will start a new life in college.
C.Because it means the end of love between parents and their child.

A.sorrowB.regret C.angerD.love
小题3:What does good parenting consist of?
A.Supporting your child in different ways all the time.
B.Congratulating yourself when your child goes to college.

小题4:What’s NOT advised as the way to recover from your child’s departure?

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.

"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

I had a friend who visited me from out of town and I wanted to show him the CN Tower. It was one of the tallest structures on the earth. So I thought it would offer a (n)   36  sight.

When we got there, we went around the   38    of the tower and saw the hard wire fence 39     to the structure serving as a barrier.

I walked on the    48   and looked around and thought about how   49   the experience was. I even found myself jumping up and down. There was no 50   , and it was certainly an illusion.
I considered how many things in our lives we 51    and exactly how many of them are actually illusions.

School was over and I was both mentally and physically tired. I sat at the very front of the bus because of 11 to get home. Sitting at the front makes you 12 out like a shiny coin in a pile of dull pennies.

I try to mind my manners and 14 listen, but usually I am too busy thinking about my day. On this day, 15, her conversation was worth listening to.
“My father’s sick, ”she said to no one in 16 . 1 could see the anxiety and fear in her eyes. With a sudden change of attitude and interest, I asked, “What’s wrong with him?”
With her eyes wet and her voice tight fighting against the tears, she  17, “Heart trouble.” Her eyes 18 as she continued. “I’ve already lost my mum, so I don’t think I can 19 losing him.”
I couldn’t react. I was 20 . My heart ached for her. I sat on the old, smelly seat thinking of the great 21 my own mother was thrown into when my father died.
I saw how hard it was, 22  still is, for her. I wouldn’t like anyone to go 23  that.
Suddenly I realized Janie wasn’t only a bus driver. That was just her job. She had a 24 world of family and concerns too. I had never thought of her as anything but a driver.
I suddenly felt very25. I realized I had only thought of people as 26 as what their purposes were in my life. I paid no attention to Janie because she was a bus driver. I had judged her by her job and just considered her 27.
For all I know, I’m just another person in 28 else’s world, and may not even be important. I 29 not have been so selfish and self-centred. Everyone has places to go to, people to see and appointments to 30 . Understanding people is an art.
