Question

【题目】Ask anybody out there, what is the most important thing in his life – Fame, Fortune and Money, and there is a chance that he is going to say, money, because with that, fame and fortune comes quite easily. On the other hand, if you add “family” to these three choices given above, there is a chance that 99% of the people are going to put their family first, especially if they happen to be ladies!

The main reason is because nature has created a woman to be the cherisher and the nurturer (哺育者) of the family, while the man is the hunter and protector of his little family. That is the natural rule which has come down through thousands of years. Even if a person happens to be a comparatively worldly-wise person and has no idea of taking on the responsibility of a family, he has a picture of a tight little loving unit in his subconscious (潜意识).

They tell a story about a successful millionaire businessman who died and the whole city came to pay its respects. One of his business competitors, met the son and said, “We are really going to miss your father. You see, I knew your father well.” And the son replied, “You happen to be really lucky there, because I never did.” So, you might be an extremely successful person in your own right upon Wall Street, but if your little child fails to come running out to welcome his daddy at the end of the day to be swung up in his father’s arms and held there lovingly and protectively, you come in the “nothing” category in the business of life.

Many people are under the impression that taking on the responsibility of the family is quite tiresome, but they do not know what it takes to be a parent. It is very easy to be a biological father or a biological mother, but the real mother and the real father is that person who stays awake all night when the baby is teething, teaches him right from wrong, is there to hold him when he takes his first steps, and in every way shows that he is there to cherish (珍惜) and protect the little one from harm.

There was a man who did not believe in family, because of an unhappy childhood. But he found a faithful woman to love him unconditionally. The moment he picked up his little baby, he said, “Well son, welcome to the world! I am here to teach you what your mama has taught me, and we shall both protect you, when you need our help. I will teach you to be a good, just and fair man.”

试题分析：很多父母对承担家庭责任是厌烦的，但他们不知道这是一个父或母所需要做的。作为父母有义务照顾孩子，教育他们，不仅事业要成功，在家庭上也要成功，做一个称职的父母。

【1】A细节理解题。根据第一段第一句Ask anybody out there, what is the most important thing in his life – Fame, Fortune and Money。问任何人，在他一生中什么最重要—名声，运气和金钱。从这里可知第一段是为了引出话题，故选A。

【2】B词义猜测题。根据第二段第二句Even if a person happens to be a comparatively worldly-wise person and has no idea of taking on the responsibility of a family, he has a picture of a tight little loving unit in his subconscious (潜意识). 即使一个人恰好是一个相对老于世故的人,不知道怎样承担一个家庭的责任，在他的意识里也有一个爱的单位的照片。故选B。

【3】D推理判断题。根据第三段中的you might be an extremely successful person in your own right upon Wall Street, but if your little child fails to come running out to welcome his daddy at the end of the day to be swung up in his father’s arms and held there lovingly and protectively, you come in the “nothing” category in the business of life. 在自己的权利下的华尔街你可能是一个非常成功的人,但是如果在晚上你的小孩子不能跑出来欢迎他的爸爸，并让他抱，在那里得到爱和保护，你在家庭生活上就是一个不称职的爸爸。因此可知选D。

【4】C推理判断题。根据第四段Many people are under the impression that taking on the responsibility of the family is quite tiresome, but they do not know what it takes to be a parent. …but the real mother and the real father is that person who stays awake all night when the baby is teething, teaches him right from wrong, is there to hold him when he takes his first steps, and in every way shows that he is there to cherish (珍惜) and protect the little one from harm.很多父母对承担家庭责任是厌烦的，但他们不知道这是一个父或母所需要做的。但是真正的父母应该是当孩子需要时整晚醒着的那个人，教他改正错误，当他走第一步时扶着她，保护他不受伤害。故可知选C。

【5】A主旨大意题。纵观全文和第四段第一句Many people are under the impression that taking on the responsibility of the family is quite tiresome, but they do not know what it takes to be a parent. 很多父母对承担家庭责任是厌烦的，但他们不知道这是一个父或母所需要做的。因此可知A项能概括全文内容，故选A。
