题目内容
16.根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.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.(36)E No matter your age,there are 5ways 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 of personal boundaries.(37)G And never borrow things without asking first.
●Punctuality.
(38)C 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.
●(39)B
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.(40)D

F.Being respectful helps build positive relationships with others.

It turns out that Shakespeare was really onto something when he imagined Lady Macbeth trying to clean her conscience(良心)by rubbing invisible bloodstains from her hands.A few years ago,scientists asked people to describe a past wrong act.If people were then given a chance to clean their hands,they later expressed less guilt than people who hadnt't cleaned.
This finding fascinated W.S.Lee,a researcher."Anything from the past,any kind of negative emotional experiences,might be washed away,"says Lee.
He decided to test hand washing's effect on one kind of bad feeling:the tension we feel after being forced to choose between two attractive choices,because picking one choice makes us feel that we've lose the other.People usually try to calm this inner conflict by later exaggerating (夸大)the positive aspects of their choice.
He had students rank 10 different music CDs.Then he offered students one CD as a gift.Some students then use liquid soap.Others only looked at the soap or sniffed(嗅)it."Actually,you do not need water and soap,"says Lee.
Later,the students again had to rank all the music.People who didn't wash their hands had the normal response--they scored their take-home CD higher,suggesting that they now saw it as even more attractive than before.But this wasn't true for the hand washers.They ranked the music about the same."They feel no need at all to justify the choice."says Lee.
But the implication of it just aren't clear.Schwarz says it's too soon to know whether people should head for a sink after making a tough choice.He says washing may help decision-makers by cleaning away mental disorder,but perhaps if they don't go throught the usual post-decision process of justifying their choice,they might feel more sorrow in the long run.
