This morning as I was getting the children ready or school, I helped them prepare breakfast and pack their lunches. I reviewed spelling words with them and made sure that their homework was collected in their bags. I had seen the weather forecast for the day and knew it was going to remain cool all day. I suggested they wear sweaters for the walk to the us stop. My kids chose to repulse my advice. My son decided that all he needed was a T-shirt, not a sweater.
I didn’t force(强迫) them to wear sweaters and we went to the bus stop. It is a full kilometer walk to the top of a treeless hill and the wind felt like a knife cutting through the skin. My children endured(忍受) the cold until halfway, when I gave them with the sweaters I had quietly carried under my arm. Then took them without complaint, and I bit my tongue from saying, “I told you so.”
What I was asking my children to do was to trust me. Trust Mom to have their best interests in mind. Trust Mom to know what she is talking about. Even though they didn’t know that I had read the outdoor thermometer (温度计) before they woke up and I had seen the day’s weather forecast, I wanted them to trust me. By ignoring me, they were saying that they didn’t believe I knew what was best for them. What they knew was that yesterday was a warm enough day for shorts. What they knew was that it was warm enough in the house to wear shorts. Therefore, they felt sure enough to make their own decision on what to wear outside.
Too many times we depend on what we know of yesterday, and how we feel today, and so we make decisions based on them. Too many times we think that we know better, so we can deal with things better. But we are wrong.
小题1:It can be inferred from the first paragraph that      .
A.the author didn’t believe in her children
B.the author took her children to school every morning
C.the author’s children always followed her advice
D.the author had a very busy morning that day
小题2:The underlined word  “repulse” in the first paragraph means      .
A.refuseB.followC.seekD.doubt
小题3:What can be learned from the passage?
A.The author’s children always ignore her.
B.The author takes great care of the children in life.
C.The author’s children always make wrong decisions.
D.The author always force her children to wear sweaters.
小题4:The author writes this passage to      .
A.tell the readers how to ask for advice
B.offer advice on how to teach children
C.explain the importance of trusting others
D.give advice on how to make decisions
Growing up, I remember my father as a silent, strict man—not the kind of person around whom one could laugh.

It was no one’s  小题12: that my father showed no interest in human emotions while I placed great importance on them.

One Sunday, my family had gathered at my parents’ house to feast upon Mom’s wonderful cooking. During the normal dinner chatter (闲聊), I noticed that my father was slurring (说话含混) his words. No one mentioned this during dinner, but I felt compelled to discuss it with my mother afterward.
We decided that there was something seriously wrong and that Dad needed to see the doctor.
Mom phoned me two days later. “The doctor found a brain tumor (肿瘤). It’s too large at this point to operate. Maybe they can do something then, but the odds are long.”
Even with the treatment, my father’s condition worsened, and the doctor finally informed us that this condition was terminal (晚期的). During one of his stays in the hospital, we brought our baby daughter Chelsey with us when we visited him. By this time he had great difficulty speaking. I finally figured out that he wanted Chelsey to sit on his stomach so he could make faces at her.
Watching the two of them together, I realized I was living an experience that would stay with me forever. Though grateful for the times they could share, I couldn’t shake the feeling of a clock ticking in the background.?
On the visit to my parents’ home during what we all know was my father’s last days, my mother took Chelsey from my arms and announced, “Your father would like to see you alone for a minute.”
I entered the bedroom where my father lay on a rented hospital bed. He appeared even weaker than the day before.
“How are you feeling, Dad?” I asked. “Can I do anything for you?”
He tried to speak, but he couldn’t make out a word.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t understand you,” I said.
With great difficulty he said, “I love you.”
We don’t learn courage from heroes on the evening news. We learn true courage from watching ordinary people rise above hopeless situations. In many ways my father was a strict, uncommunicative man. He found it difficult to show emotion. The bravest thing I ever saw him do was overcome that barrier to open his heart to his son and family at the end of his life.
小题1:Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.The writer accompanied his father to a medical examination.
B.The writer’s father got worse after the removal of the brain tumor.
C.The writer was quick to notice the strange condition of his father.
D.The writer’s father had known about his illness before the writer discovered it.
小题2: What does the underlined sentence “the odds are long” mean?
A.There’s little possibility for Father to recover.
B.It takes a long time for Father to recover.
C.Father needs love and care from his family.
D.They need a proper time to operate on Father.
小题3:The father had never said “I love you” to the writer before because ________.
A.he believed in strictness and punishment
B.he was not so attached to the writer
C.he thought there was no need to tell the writer
D.he was not used to openly showing his emotions
小题4:What does the writer attempt to tell us?
A.We don’t often value health until we lose it.
B.Don’t wait to see a doctor till it is too late.
C.Life is short, so live your life to the fullest.
D.Bravely express your love for your family.
When I was a teenager, I volunteered to give out water at a marathon. Watching the different runners who passed by and grabbed a cup was 36 . The next year I signed up for the race. I did little preparation and my only goal was to finish. On the day of the race, it was 37  hot. I remember struggling at about the 5th mile, thinking, “I am never doing this again!”
Have you ever felt that way about something? You eagerly choose a goal 38     soon realize it is 39 to achieve than you imagined it would be. That first 10 km race was quite an experience. I jogged, I walked, I jogged and I walked. Then 40 a decisive moment. Near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me. I felt 41  that I was younger than him but I couldn’t keep up with him. I felt defeated for a second but then I realized 42 . He was running his race and I was running mine. He had different experience, training and goals and I had mine. 43  in life do we 44  ourselves with others and feel disappointed in ourselves when we really shouldn’t? I decided, then, that one day I would be one of those 70-year-olds who were still running. 45  I crossed the finish line, I was proud of my achievement. Since then I have run several races and run purely for fun.
In life we all 46  compare ourselves with others, which is only natural. But don’t let them weaken you. 47 , you should use them to inspire you and show you what is possible. Then you are a true winner.

My mother used to ask me what was the most important part of the body.Through the years I would   36  the correct answer.When I was younger, I thought   37   was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mommy." She said, "No.Many people are    38 .But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon."
Several years passed before she asked me again.Since    39 my first attempt, I had often thought over the correct answer.So this time I told her, "Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it   40_  be our eyes." She looked at me and told me, "You are learning fast, but the answer is not   41 because there are many people who are blind."
  42  the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her response to my answer was, "No, but you are getting  43  every year, my child." Then last year, my Grandpa    44 .Everybody was crying.My Mommy looked at me when it was our   45  to say our final good-bye to Grandpa.She asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?"
I was   46 when she asked me this now.I always thought this was a  47
between her and me.She saw the   48   on my face and told me, "This question is very important.It shows that you have really  49  your life." I saw her eyes well up with tears.She said, "My dear, the most important body part is your  50  ."
I asked, "Is it because it holds up your head?" She replied, "No, it is because a crying friend or­­  51 one can rest their head on it .Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometimes in life, my dear.I only   52  that you have enough love and friends that you will have a shoulder to cry on 53  you need it." Then and there I understood the most important body part is not a   54  one.It is sympathetic(同情的) to the pain of  55 .

I was listening to the radio while 1 was driving home from coaching basketball yesterday. I could tell right away that there was something  41  by the mood of the speaker. There had been a plane crash. What made the 42  even more tragic was that Bob Collins,the morning show man, was among those who had been killed. Throughout my 40-minute  43 , I listened as sincere love and affection from the audience  44 .The more I listened about how this man had influenced those around him, the more   45 I became.
That was because I wanted to know  46 we as a culture, wait until somebody has passed away before we tell them how much they  47 to us? Why do we wait until it is too late before we  48 someone up after they have died? Yes,49  memory after memory about someone's good  50 does help us cope with the sadness of losing someone special to us. But as we  51 remember this person, our words fall short of the ears that most need to hear  52 .
Just once,  53 a gathering of death,1 would like to see a celebration of life,  54 stories are told, tears fall down,laughter rings out;and as the speaker  55 his or her loving tribute(颂词), the person they are  56  rises from the chair and gives them a  57 hug! Wouldn’t that be   58 !
Life is too short to leave kind words   59 . How I wish that when the unavoidable funeral finally comes,we could say  60 with the knowledge that they knew exactly how people felt about them while they were here on earth.
