Question

【题目】

Whether you're a child, teenager, young adult or are middle-aged, respect for your parents is an important value. Your parents are the people who raised you, devoting time, energy and money to your development.【1】No matter your age, there are 5 ways to show respect.

● Respect their belongings.

One important way to show respect is to show regard for the things important to your parents. For younger children, this may mean not touching jewelry or other valuable things. For grown children, respect may mean returning a borrowed tool in good condition and on time. Lack of respect for a parent's belongings is a violation(侵犯) of personal boundaries. 【2】 And never borrow things without asking first.

● Punctuality.

【3】 Therefore, always be on time. For teenagers, showing up on time means coming home by curfew(宵禁). Adult children should show up on time for family dinners or events, or to pick a parent up for a medical appointment. Call if you're going to be late because parents worry about children, no matter their age.

●【4】

Remembering birthdays, anniversaries and other special days is a sign that you honor your parents. Make plans to take them to lunch or dinner or bake a cake or cookies. Most parents don't expect expensive gifts, but a handmade gift is always appreciated. A phone call from a grown child who lives too far for a visit is a welcome sign of respect.

● Be kind.

Kind words and affection are simple ways to show respect. Tell your parents you love them. Listen and allow your parents to speak without interruption. Show a sincere interest in what your parents have to say. Be patient with your parents and don't rush them. Never talk back or be rude or disrespectful. Acknowledge your parents' achievements.【5】

C. Lateness indicates a lack of respect.

D. Treat your parents the way you would like to be treated.

【解析】作为子女我们应该尊重自己的父母。文章给出了五条关于如何尊敬父母的建议。

【1】考查上下文理解和推理判断。E项“贯穿你的一生他们无条件的爱你”承接上一句，是父母无条件的爱，让我们必须尊敬他们。故E项合乎文意。

【2】考查上下文理解和推理判断。本段讲述要尊重父母的东西，对父母的东西缺乏尊重是对父母的个人权利的侵犯，由空格下文“And never borrow things without asking first.”可知，借东西要先请求父母允许，G项“不要利用你的父母的善良和慷慨”与下文意义相符。故G项合乎文意。

【3】考查上下文理解和推理判断。由标题Punctuality可知，本段阐述准时表示尊重。由下文“Therefore, always be on time.”可知，因此，总是要准时，故C项“迟到表示缺乏尊重”承接下文。故C项合乎文意。

【4】考查段落理解和推理判断。本段阐述记住父母的生日、纪念日和其它特殊的日子是一种尊重，带他们去吃饭或者烤制蛋糕给他们，不需要昂贵的礼物，一件自制的礼物或者来自远方的一个电话都是尊重的表现，因此推断本段讨论与父母一起庆祝特殊日子。故B项合乎文意。

【5】考查上下文理解和推理判断。由段落标题“Be kind”可知，本段阐述对父母友好是尊重的表现。由空格上文可知，友好的语言是表示尊敬的简单方式，对父母有耐心，不要顶撞，承认父母的成就都是对父母的尊重，D项“对待父母用你喜欢被对待的方式”符合上文，讲述与父母相处的方式。故选D项合乎文意。
