My son. The phrase felt difficult and strange the first time I said it, and I had to practice it a thousand times. I started saying the words to myself the day when the ultrasound told me we were having a baby.
Finally, my son was born.
The nurse came out of the delivery room, holding a tiny, howling human being wrapped in a white sheet, his small hands and delicate fingers shaking nervously. “Baby Sanchez?” she asked, looking at the room full of expectant fathers.
I stood up, holding my breath. She showed me my baby. “My son,” I whispered. The little guy screamed, “waaaaaaaaaah.”
But in my heart I heard him cry out, “Daaaaaaad!” I don’t care if everyone in the room will swear they didn’t hear my baby say that. I called him, “My son,” and he called me “Dad,” and that’s that.
People ask me, “What did you feel at that moment?” I can’t even begin to answer. I’m a writer yet I try hard to find the right words. Joyful isn’t powerful enough. Bliss(狂喜) is not sweet enough. Peaceful isn’t calm enough. Happy isn’t tense enough.
After my son was taken away to the nursery, I sat down and shut my eyes. But tears escaped them away. Then out of the blue, my 80-year-old father entered, and we embraced.
“Dad,” I whispered.
“My son,” my heart heard him saying.
Suddenly the past 33 years folded into the present and I was now the baby bundled in white, with my father standing over me.
“My son,” I imagined him saying.
“Daaaaaaaaaad!” I cried my little lungs out.
At that point, I knew I was going to be a great father. The old man in front of me seemed to agree. He smiled and we walked out of the room in search of the tiny human being that would change our lives for ever.

【小题1】C
【小题2】D
【小题3】B
【小题4】D
解析试题分析:
【小题1】C 推理题。根据第三段“Baby Sanchez?” she asked, looking at the room full of expectant fathers.说明Sanchez是父亲的名字,婴儿刚刚出生还没有名字。护士带着孩子来找孩子的父亲,那么应该是询问父亲的名字。故C 正确。
【小题2】D 推理题。根据I can’t even begin to answer. I’m a writer yet I try hard to find the right words. Joyful isn’t powerful enough. Bliss(狂喜) is not sweet enough. Peaceful isn’t calm enough. Happy isn’t tense enough.我无法找到合适的词来形容我的内心,说明这种关键很难形容。故D正确。
【小题3】B 细节题。根据文章第一句My son. The phrase felt difficult and strange the first time I said it说明A是真的。根据The little guy screamed, “waaaaaaaaaah.”说明孩子哭着喊的不是“Daaaaad”故C是真的;根据最后一段that would change our lives for ever.
说明D正确。B没有提及。
【小题4】D 推理题、根据文章Suddenly the past 33 years folded into the present and I was now the baby bundled in white, with my father standing over me.说明在过去的33年里我的父亲给我树立了一个很好的榜样。故D正确。

I had this exchange with my 6-year-old last week.
Him: Mom, we have to start buying Danimals.
Me: Why?
Him: So, I can bring it to |school for lunch.It's yogurt .
Me: Why do you want it so badly?
Him: Because Danimals i|s giving away five fantastic Caribbean vacations.
I had to explain that there was little chance that he would win a vacation.It's a strategy used to encourage kids to beg for artificially-colored (人工着色的) yogurt that costs a lot.
Marketing follows my kids —and yours—wherever they go .It comes via TV commercials. Store displays and websites are also constantly selling at our kids .But the most powerful means in kids" lives is the presence of licensed characters on every product imaginable.
Children can begin their day in character clothing.There's even character -themed wall paint available.A breakfast in a character bowl can be followed by a character toothbrush and character toothpaste(牙膏), character soap and shampoo, and a character wash cloth and towel .Then, they can put on character clothing and character shoes.Check that, character clock on the wall: Is it time for characier-shaped fruit snacks yet?
Surround kids with enough of the characters and they'll come to believe they need them.Most of us, of course, don't buy all those items.But say no to four products out of five and your home can still get filled with these tiny items encouraging brand loyalty (品牌忠诚)
At this time of year, parents buy licensed school supplies.With so much marketing around us, it can be tough to stop the tide.
"One thing that helps parents'is that they can talk to other parents about, this kind of thing," Linn suggested ."If you decide you want to buck this, it helps to find other people who will do the same thing .That way, if your child says."Everyone's doing it," you can really have a sense of whether everyone is." |
