2.Despite great affection for their parents,many Chinese people remain"too shy"to express love for them,according to the survey.
The poll of around 6,000 people,conducted by Beijing-based recruitment website Zhaopin.com,was conducted as the nation gears up for Mother's Day on Sunday.
Although 74.6 percent of participants said they knew their mothers'birthday,only 25.5percent would like to tell her"I love you".
"This figure suggests mothers occupy an important place in most participants'mind.Yet,many people still find it'embarrassing'to express their affection,"the survey's organizer said.
As to the form of celebration on Mother's Day,67percent of participants said they would prepare some gifts,with 70percent saying that they would spend no more than 500yuan,while 51percent said they planned to phone their mother because they would either too busy at work or be away from home.
"I do love my mother deeply but I have never said'I love you'that often.It just feels quite weird for me to say it to her in person,"said Stella Wang,a 27-year-old offiice worker,noting that she prefers to express her feelings in writing in birthday or Christmas cards.
"I have to say that it's difficult for me to express my love for my mother.I think if I did say it out,it might confuse her,"said Liao Hao,a 32-year-old engineer.
"Very few Chinese,at least those I know,are used to saying'I love you'…they may never say it once,"said Mike Denver,an American working in Shanghai as an English teacher.
Hu Shaojun,a sociology professor from Shanghai's Fudan University said,"The personality of the Chinese people is generally quiet,reserved and serious.For Chinese it's unnecessary and even regarded as'odd'to display their affection for relatives and friends."

18.The need for love is deeply rooted in the human psyche(灵魂).(71)CSeparateness,according to psychologists,means to be cut off,helpless and alone in the world.It is the source of all anxiety.
(72)A It can be selfish and possessive,or unselfish and giving.Abraham Maslow distinguishes between two kinds of love:B-love or"being love"means love for another person:unselfish love not dependent upon your own needs.D-love or"deficiency-love"is a selfish possessive love which is based upon someone else's ability to satisfy your needs.
D-love is conditional.It depends upon whether personal needs continue to be met.But B-love is unconditional.(73)E Furthermore,as it depends upon who you are,it is possible only when you allow yourself to be known to the other person.
The psychologist Erich Fromm also distinguished between two types of love.(74)F Symbiotic union is an immature love based upon the satisfaction of needs and is similar to Maslow's concept of D-love.
Mature love,on the other hand,is a relationship that allows individuals to retain(保持) their independence,their identity,and their integrity.In mature love people can overcome their sense of separateness yet continue to be themselves.The mature lover would say,"I love you because I need you,"but the mature one:"(75)B"

A.There are two types of love.
B.I need you because I love you.
C.Love is a way of overcoming the feeling.
D.Every one of us needs love.
E.It depends not upon what you do,but who you are.
F.They are immature love,called by him symbiotic union(共同体),and mature love.
G.These two types are quite different from each other.
17.One Sunday a few of us decided to take advantage of the first sunny day we'd have for ages to take a trip down to the coast to visit the penguins again.Last time I went down there was a couple of months ago and it was a dull cold day.Sunday couldn't have been more different-clear skies and sunshine made it feel like summer,although it was still-25°C.
Six of us drove to the coast.It was the first time we'd been off the base on our own without our field assistant,so it had a slightly different feeling-more like a few friends going to the seaside than an Antarctic field trip!When we reached Windy Creek,we luckily caught sight of quite a few small flying seabirds,which are seldom seen there.
Once on the sea ice we found that some of the more curious penguins had wandered over from the main group to come and check us out.We'd been told that then they were nursing their chicks (刚孵出的幼雏) and they would be more careful and nervous than last time,but that didn't seem to be the case. We walked across to the main group which were stretched for a couple of miles along the coast.We sat down for some sandwiches and soon found ourselves surrounded by many curious observers.Without any attackers on land,they were very brave and came within a meter of us to pose (摆姿势) for photos.
Before heading back,we spent a few hours on the sea ice watching the penguins and their chicks,which had grown dramatically (明显地) since our last visit.It was such a nice day.

15.I left baseball,not for physical reasons but because it was my season for change.So I decided to walk away and once I did,like the vast majority of players,I was lost.It would be the first time since I learned to swing a bat that I would spend an entire summer without ever putting on a uniform.Once you leaves the pitch it's no longer you against that fastball,it is you against yourself.
So you swim around trying to figure out what young,retired baseball players do with their lives.For me,the moment was completely without the guiding wisdom of my father,who could communicate with me with just a nod of his head,but he passed away two years ago.
Since my retirement,I have searched for the next passion.It is a discouraging journey,and many players never find that next love,even though they kept looking.
Of course my father could never be replaced.His passion was writing.He left behind a body of poetry that guides me now.
I didn't stay lost forever.I found something that I wasn't looking for:a voice through writing.Writing introduced me to people who were otherwise strangers and made them guests at my table.Only later did I understand that this would be a bridge to understanding my father in another way.A way that led me to connect to a passion I didn't realize we both shared.
After my first book was published,I realized that writing was passion and even therapy(疗法),but now I also thought that maybe I'd found my next profession.
Thankfully,I always knew my father was proud of me.But despite living the dream of so many Americans and reaching its highest level,I have no doubt that he would be even prouder of what I am doing with my words.Words that I can leave for my son to read one day.
53.Why couldn't his father offer him any help at the moment?A
A.Because his father had been dead for two years.
B.Because his father was busy writing poems.

A.reporter          B.writer            C.coach           D.player
56.The author picked up writing as a career mainly becauseC.
A.he couldn't find any other job after he left baseball
B.his father asked him to continue his lifelong hobby
C.writing was another way to understand his father
