(10·四川E篇)

Fear plays no part in this latest problem.“I’m not afraid I'll lose my children.I won't lose my children. We live together, and nothing, nothing,” she repeats, her voice rising when speaking to John's lawyer, “will stop me from being with my children. A law? Year, right. Don't disturb me when it comes to my children. You are never going to win. If John wants to see them, I cannot stop him. He's their father??—I want them to see him! However, his visit in his present condition will disturb the children's stable (稳定的) life.”  John, who has spent much of his time in California recently, has only hired a house for himself in Pennsylvania, according to his lawyer. "If he'd like to stick to a regular life, I'd be more than happy to do that," Jane says. "The best thing for any child of a divorced (离婚的) parent is a stable life. I want nothing more than for him to set up a stable life for himself, so that he can be part of making our children's lives more stable. "

  While matters of money and care won't be settled for weeks, Jane hardly puts her life on hold. Last week the ABC network announced that Jane would return with her own show, Twist of Jane, in which she gives advice to other moms.Jane and her eight children will also return to ABC in a series of Jane Plus 8 specials showing them on various adventures.It’s a rest for Jane.who insists that she needs her new,busy life to provide for her family.“I have to lead such a life.and I’m thankful that I’ve built it to the top where now I can support my children.”she says.

And whether a bellicose(好斗的)dance judge or a bellicose former wife,Jane plans to keep 0n facing attacks on her. “Some people try to knock me down—only to make me more fierce,more protective,more determined to do better,”she says.“Go ahead,take me on.This will just make me stronger.”

Why should I teach my children history? That sounds like a stupid question to even ask. But, as I hear different home schooling teachers discuss history, I get the idea that there may be different reasons for teaching history. Let me briefly explain the three good reasons for studying history and two bad reasons for studying history.

The major reason I see for studying history is that we can learn from the past. I am convinced that the world would be a much better place if more people understood the successes and failures of the past and the things that made these successes and failures. However, as the unfortunately true statement goes "the one thing we seem to learn from history is that we don't seem to learn from history." Perhaps at least in teaching history, to my children I can do a small part in changing this.

A second major reason for studying history is that it is hard to understand the current political climate in the absence of an understanding of its historical context. We can not even understand why we are and where we are without history, much less (更不必说) try to figure out where we are going or how we should get where we want to be.

I teach my children history, for one more reason. I purchased a set of historical audio (录音机) tapes for our children. My seven-year-old son listened to them over and over. It was my hope that he would become inspired by the accomplishments of people like the Wright brothers to accomplish things by himself. I think that it is good that we celebrate the accomplishments of people like Martin Luther King Jr. if, in doing so, young people are called on to stand for the principles that he stood for and accomplish what he accomplished. I also think that by studying people like Adolph Hitler, people can learn to stand against the things that he stood for.

1.The main purpose of this passage is to __________.

A.instruct the parents how to teach their children history

B.show the importance of history in politics

C.explain the reasons why children study history

D.introduce the writer’s own way of teaching history

2.Which of the following is not the reason for studying history according to the author?

A.One can learn from history in order not to make the same mistakes.

B.It can help us to understand the current political climate.

C.Without history, one can be nothing but a fool in every aspect.

D.One can know the principle of doing something and not doing something.

3. Some positive historical figures are mentioned in the last paragraph to show __________.

A.people can be inspired to do good, while also learning to fight against evil

B.people may also learn from bad historical figures

C.more celebrations should be held to honor their achievements

D.today’s people can also achieve what they achieved

4. What would be talked about in the following paragraph?

A.How to teach history effectively.

B.Some negative reasons for studying history.

C.How to get more people to study history.

D.Some bad historical figures.

 

About a week ago, my 4­year­old cousin and I were playing basketball at our local park. The__31__was warm, and many other children were outside__32__. As we played, I noticed a small group of boys__33__a smaller, skinnier, and possibly younger boy. They were calling him names and__34__pushed him to the ground and__35__dirt in his face. When I saw that, I grabbed my__36__by the hand and walked over to the__37__.

I stepped__38__them and the younger boy, and asked them__39__what this boy had done deserved__40__they were doing to him. They all__41__silently for a moment, and then the most amazing thing __42__:one of the boys who hadn't said anything since I__43__stepped around the younger boy and helped him off the__44__and then apologized. He offered to let him play with them,__45__the boy quietly said “thank you” and refused, and then left there.

As I looked around, I__46__that there were dozens of other people at the park—some of them were__47__with children of their own—but no one else had stopped to help this boy. I felt__48__that the one of the boys was brave enough to stand up against his friends to help someone__49__, but I felt sad that no one else had even taken a second__50__. I couldn't help but think that those parents at the park would want someone to help their child in that situation, and yet they did nothing but stood by.

When I was a teenager I volunteered to work at the water station at a 10,000m race. My job was to   34   water to the runners. I remember being so  35   to see all the different kinds of people who passed by and grabbed a cup of water. Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled past. I saw so many types of people doing it. I thought maybe I could do it too! So the next year I 36  up for the race.

That first 10,000m race was quite an experience. I jogged, I walked, I jogged and I walked  37  , I didn’t know if I could finish. Then came a defining (决定性)  38  .

At one point near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me, very, very fast, and I felt  39  because I was 50 years younger than he but I couldn’t even keep up with him. I felt  40  for a second.

But then I realized something. He was running his race and I was running mine. He had  41   abilities, experience, training and goals for himself. I had mine. Remember my  42  was only to finish.

After a minute, it  43  me that this was a lesson I could draw from. I learned something about myself in that moment. I turned my embarrassment into 44    .

I decided that I would not give up on running races. In fact, I would run even more races and I would learn how to train and prepare  45 and one day I would be one of those 70-year-old persons who were still running. As I crossed the finish line, I was proud of my accomplishment. In life we all have those moments where we  46  ourselves to others. It’s only natural . Don’t allow those moments to  47  you. Turn them into motivation and let them inspire you. With the proper preparation and training, you can improve your result to 48  anything you want in life.
