Soon Tommy’s parents, who had recently separated (分居), would arrive for a meeting on his failing schoolwork and  【小题1】  behavior. Neither parent knew that I had called up   【小题2】 
Tommy, an only child, had   【小题3】 been happy, cooperative, and an excellent student. How could I make his father and mother  【小题4】  that his recent failing grades   【小题5】  a brokenhearted child’s reaction to his respected parents’ separation and possible   【小题6】 ?
Tommy’s mother came in and   【小题7】 one of the chairs I had placed near my desk. Then the father   【小题8】  and was surprised to see his wife. They pointedly ignored each other.
As I gave a detailed   【小题9】 of Tommy’s behavior and schoolwork, I prayed for the   【小题10】  words to bring these two together to help them see what they were doing to their son.   【小题11】  somehow the words wouldn’t come.
I found a crumpled (弄皱的), tear-stained  【小题12】  in the back of Tommy’s desk. Writing covered both sides, a single  【小题13】  scribbled (乱写) over and over.
Silently I smoothed it out and gave it to Tommy’s mother. She read it and then without a word   【小题14】 it to her husband. He frowned. Then his face softened. He studied the scribbled words for  【小题15】  seemed a future life.
At last he folded the paper carefully and   【小题16】 his wife’s hand. She wiped the tears from her  【小题17】 and smiled up at him. I also couldn’t keep back tears, but  【小题18】 seemed to notice.
In this way I used the words to  【小题19】  that family. On the sheet of yellow copy paper   【小题20】  with the painful outpouring of a small boy’s troubled heart, it said, “Dear Mother; Dear Daddy; I love you. I love you. I love you.”

Several years ago, we moved into the apartment where we live now. When my friends helped me move in, the downstairs neighbors began to  16 about the noise. I could do  17 about it. After all, noises are unavoidable(不可避免的).How can anyone move in  18 .
Still  19 ,the complaints continued on a daily basis—well after the first day. We walked “too loudly”down the stairs, we laughed too often, we opened and closed the door too many times…They had many  20 to complain.
Nobody can stand the endless complaints and quarrels. I soon learned that they had  21 the last few families who lived above them by the same way. So I had the information I needed and I tried to  22  every situation carefully.
I tried to walk in  23 to avoid any possible noises. Whenever they called  24 came to the door with a complaint, no matter how unreasonable, I simply listened. From their confused expressions, I could imagine that they had never expected to get a   25 attitude from me.
Of course, it was hard to keep calm but my sister and I  26 . I told my sister that we were going to be pleasant and  27  them to change their attitude to neighbors. I explained to her that they probably felt  28 in their lives because they are common people.   29 , they were always looking for a   30 to show their power so that nobody could look down upon them. I continued smiling and greeting them as I saw them, much to their  31 .On more than one occasion(不止一次), I ended up  32 them. They thanked me before they left.
Unexpectedly, the next time I saw them, they all smiled and  33 friendly. We had a short but pleasant  34 . Ever since then, they’ve been very pleasant neighbors, and we’ve become good  35 .

Have you ever thought about what determines the way we are when we grow up? Remember the TV program Seven Up? It started following the lives of a group of children in 1973. We first meet them as wide-eyed seven-year-olds and catch up with them at seven-year intervals: nervous 14-year-olds, serious 21-year-olds and then grown-ups.
Some of the stories are inspiring, others sad, but what is interesting in almost all the cases is the way in which the children’s early hopes and dreams are shown in their future lives. For example, at seven, Tony is a lively child who says he wants to become a sportsman or a taxi driver. When he grows up, he goes on to do both. How about Niki? She says, “I would like to find out about the moon.” And she goes on to become a space scientist. As a child, soft-spoken Bruce says he wants to help “poor children” and ends up teaching in India.
But if the lives of all the children had followed this pattern, the program would be far less interesting than it actually was. It was the children whose childhood did not prepare them for what was to come that made the program so interesting. Where did their ideas come from about what they wanted to do when they grew up? Are children influenced by what their parents do, by what they see on television or by what their teachers say? How great is the effect of a single important event? Many film directors, including Steven Spielberg, say that an early visit to the cinema was the turning point in their lives. Dr. Margaret McAllister, who has done a lot of research in this area, thinks that the major factors are parents, friends and their wider society.
【小题1】What does the text mainly discuss?

A.New ways to make a TV program interesting.
B.The importance of TV programs to children.
C.Different ways to make childhood dreams come true.
D.The influence of childhood experience on future lives.
【小题2】 What does the underlined word “influenced” mean in the last paragraph?
A.Impressed.B.Improved.C.Affected.D.Attracted.
【小题3】 What are the examples in Paragraph 2 meant to show?
A.Many people’s childhood hopes are related to their future jobs.
B.There are many poor children in India who need help.
C.Children have different dreams about their future.
D.A lot of people are very sad in their childhood.
【小题4】Spielberg’s story is meant to show that _______.
A.going to a movie at an early age helps a child learn about society
B.a single childhood event may decide what one does as a grown-up
C.parents and friends can help a child grow up properly
D.films have more influence on a child than teachers do
