When my three children were young, my husband, Roy, and I were very 小题1:. “Can we go on a picnic, Mom?” my six-year-old daughter, Becky 小题2:. “Please.” I had said no so many times in the 小题3: months, and I decided the usual Saturday morning chores (日常工作) could wait. To her 小题4:, I agreed. I prepared a few sandwiches and 小题5:a cooler with ice and drinks and called Roy 小题6:. My eleven-year-old twin sons put the cooler and the picnic basket in the trunk and off we went to spend some 小题7: time together as a family. About the time I got the lunch 小题8:out on the table, Roy arrived on the 小题9:. That was one of the happiest meals we ever shared together. The meal was filled with 小题10:. We felt a closeness that had been hidden by work and school 小题11:for so many months. Roy and the boys 小题12:rocks into the lake. Becky fed the ducks and I sat quietly on the picnic table, 小题13: God for blessing me with such a wonderful family. That night as our 小题14: went to bed, I kissed their cheeks and realized what a wonderful life I had.

It was shortly before Christmas. I was in eighth grade and was working evenings, straightening the toy section. A little boy, five or six years old, came in.

He looked 26 the toy section, picked up this item and 27 , and carefully put them 28 in their place. Dad came down the stairs and walked over to the boy. His blue eyes 29 and the dimple(酒窝) in his cheek stood out as he asked the boy what he could do for him. The boy said he was looking for a Christmas 30 to buy his brother. I was impressed that Dad treated him with the same respect as any adult. Dad told him to take his 31 and look around. He did. After about 20 minutes, the little boy carefully picked up a toy 32 , walked up to my dad and said, “How much for this, Mister?” “How much you got?” Dad asked. The little boy held out his hand and 33 it. His hand was creased(起皱) with 34 lines of dirt from holding his 35 too tightly. In his hand 36 two dimes, a nickel and two pennies—27 cents. The price on the toy plane he’d picked out was $3.98. “That’ll just 37 it,” Dad said as he 38 the sale. Dad’s reply still 39 in my ears.

Do you have any of these bad habits ? Check yourself by answering “yes”or“no” to these questions. a) Do you move your lips when reading silently ? b) Do you point to words with your fingers as you read ? c) Do you move your head from side to side as you read ? d) Do you read one word at a time ? If your answer “yes” to any of these questions , start at once to break the habits. If you move your lips, hold your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading. Then when your lips move, you will know it and stop them. If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand. Then you won’t have a free finger to use in pointing while reading. If you move your head, place your chin in one hand, and hold your head still. If you read no more than one word at a time, you need to work in learning to take in more words at each glance as your eyes travel across the lines of words. Even if you read fairly fast now, you can learn to even faster. As you probably have been told, the secret of fast reading is to take in whole groups of words at each glance. Read in several groups and force your eyes along the lines of words as fast as you can make them go. Anyone who practices doing these two things will be able to read faster. 56. What do you think of those habits talked about in the text _________. A. we should remember those habits B. they should be got rid of C. they are difficult to get rid of D. they are good for our studies 57. You may hold your finger over your lips while reading so as to __________. A. hold a piece of paper between your lips B. keep yourself from talking to others C. tell others to be silent D. feel whether your lips move or not 58. When your eyes travel across the lines of words, you need to __________. A. read the words out B. look at every word carefully C. read several words at a time D. remember every word 59. If you can read fairly fast now, __________. A. you don’t need to learn to read faster B. you can go on reading like that C. you can learn to read even faster D. you can enjoy reading |

Arguing with your parents is totally natural for teens. From your hairstyle to your friends, to your marks at school, to your television habits, to your future plans, it might just seem like you argue with your parents about everything. While this is not generally a pleasant state of affairs, it is normal and it will most likely pass. Argue fairly Arguments between teens and parents generally come about when both parties believe that they know what is best for the teen. Parents have been caring for their teens for over a decade, but teens are quickly becoming adults and believe that they are able to take care of themselves. If you must agree with them, argue fairly by: Allowing each person to speak their mind. Refusing to interrupt others when they are speaking. Sticking only to the topic at hand. Argue respectfully No matter how heated things may get during an argument, try to remember that your parents still are worthy of your attention, respect and love. During arguments, be respectful by: Keeping your voice lowered at all times and refusing to shout. Sitting still and staying calm. Refusing to engage in angry actions such as kicking, throwing or hitting anything. Reasonably explaining the reasons for your opinions. _________ There is a thin line between having a discussion and engaging in an argument, but smart teens know that keeping their interactions with their parents at the discussion level practically guarantees that they will be taken more seriously. No one likes to argue, and the parents of teens can be especially weary of it, so keeping things at the discussion level will work to everyone"s advantage. Arguing with parents is practically a sign of the teenaged years, but out-of-control arguments don"t serve anyone well. Before arguing with your parents, decide what type of teen you want to be and what compromises (妥协)you are willing to make in order to achieve your goals. You never know, you might just avoid an argument all together. 60.This passage mainly tells teens______. A. arguments don"t solve any problem B. arguing with parents may hurt them C. some tips on arguing with parents D. how to avoid arguing with parents 61. When arguing with your parents, you should______. A. make up your mind not to give in B. show your respect for them C. express your opinions through actions D. make full preparations for it 62. Which of the following is proper for the blank in the passage? A. Take discussion seriously B. Argue seriously C. To be smart teens D. Argue only when needed 63. The underlined phrase "be weary of "in the passage probably means_ ___. A. be proud of . B. be interested in C. be tired of D. be satisfied of 64.It seems that the author thinks teens" arguing with parents is_______ A. normal B. practical C. shameful D. impolite |
