4．I had worked long and hard on this project．Knowing it was finally completed gave me great Satisfaction．"Perfect！"I said"Now，all I have to do is to keep the dogs off it．"I went about setting Up barriers using old fence，deck chairs，planters，and anything I could find so as to avoid footprints both on the oil paint and our carpet．It worked perfectly．
Just before returning to the house and to a much needed shower，I took one last look at this fine work of art．"What is that？"I said．"Where did that come from？"
Clearly marked and evenly spaced across the entire area，the tiny marks ran in straight lines．
I carefully stepped to our flower garden．It was there I found several of the small markings．Now，almost frozen in place by this shocking discovery，I remained in position so as to prevent further damage to my work..Just then，off to my left，it appeared．A chipmunk （花栗鼠）．He was as surprised as I was．We stood there face to face looking at each other，wondering who would make the first move．
The warm，humid air was now getting the best of me．Sweat now ran freely over my head，and in poor timing into my eyes．I reached up to rub them and when I opened my eyes he was gone．
My only satisfaction was in thinking that when he returned home he tracked oily footprints into his own home．And，hoping he was married，his wife would not let him live it down for the rest of his life．I stood up，shook my head，laughing about it and walking into my house．
Yes，I tracked oil on the carpet．I am married．My wife will not let me live it down for the rest of my life．

2．There is a scene in the movie The Descendants and it went something like this---George Clooney's character Matt King has a daughter who may be 9or 10．She said something bad to a girl at her school that made her cry．The mother of that girl made Matt and his daughter come to their house to apologize．"Sorry，"said his daughter very casually．She was clearly not sorry for her actions and the girl's mother complained she didn't take her apology seriously．Matt shrugged（耸）his shoulders．What was he supposed to do？His daughter apologized as asked．He couldn't make her mean her words．
I always think of this story when my daughter is asked by other adults to apologize for her wrong doings．I know my daughter is being taught to say"sorry"with all the best intentions．They are teaching her to be polite．But she is apologizing because she is being forced to please the adult or to avert punishment．
This situation has happened on a few occasions and it really bothers me．Here are three reasons why I don't think it's a good idea to teach children to say sorry：1．My daughter is being taught to say things that are not from her heart.2．She is being taught insincerity（不真诚） is valued over genuineness.3．She is being taught she needs to please others to be loved．
These messages make me uncomfortable and I will not ask my children to apologize．Instead，this is what I think people should teach children：
•teach them behavior that is acceptable and to practice positive behavior．
•teach them how their actions affect others．
•give them space to think about the situation and ask them to suggest ways to make the situation better．
•help them make healthy choices
•lead by example and show them how to fix wrong doings
21．The story in Paragraph 1mainly shows thatC．
A．sometimes people don't take their apology seriously
B．The Descendants is a good film that is worth seeing
C．forcing a child to apologize may not get expected results
D．parents should punish their children for their mistakes
22．What does the underlined word"avert"in Paragraph 2mean？B
A．Suffer
B．Avoid
C．Deserve
D．Get
23．From Paragraph 3we can learn that the authorD．
A．doesn't like apologizing to other people．
B．doesn't think apologizing is important to children
C．doesn't think her daughter has done anything wrong
D．thinks forcing a child to apologize has disadvantages
24．According to the last paragraph，the author suggests people shouldC．
A．teach children how to become independent
B．teach children how to apologize in the correct way
C．teach children to behave well instead of forcing them
D．teach children how to set a good example to others．

19．A new study of 8，000young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily，it is a bad thing for young people．Puppy love（早恋）may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression．The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys，and younger girls are the worst of all．
The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is"loss of self"．According to the study，even though boys would say"lose themselves in a romantic relationship"，this"loss of self"is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls．Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions．They won't tell that to their parents．
Dr Marianm Kaufman，an expert on young people problems，says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing．Trying romance often causes the depression．She advises kids not to jump into romance too early．During growing up，it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self．She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends，attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family．
Parents should watch for signs of depression-eating or mood changes-and if they see signs from their daughters or sons，they need to give help．The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age．Love will always make us feel young，but only maturity gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects．
