I remember as a small child when we would have these gatherings where someone would come up and ask, “What are you going to be when you grow up?”?

  Well, it    41    being a cowboy or some super hero. Later it was a fireman, policeman, lawyer ... As I grew older my dreams of the future   42   . When, at last, I was in college, I made up my   43     to become a preacher(牧师) as my father.    44     I studied and prepared for that life. I reached    45   in the end and I was preaching nearly fulltime for much of my adult life.

 However, for many, there is a “thief” which goes around stealing our   46    . Sometimes, the thief will come as a parent, a relative, or a friend, but the    47    thief is, so many times, just    48   .?

   We find ourselves just about reaching the top, and this “small”    49     inside says, “You will never make   50    .” “You can’t possibly do this.” And on and on the “small” voice 51        some kind of failure. Failure, though, is exactly how dreams are    52    . It is one of the most important tools we have, because it teaches us invaluable   53    . And, when we learn these lessons well, we are ready    54    success.

   The message I always gave my children was that you   55    do anything your heart desires. Remember the saying, “Nothing is    56   to a willing heart.” There are   57    “overnight” successes, but with determination, it will come. Imagine yourself in the life you dream of   58    . Then in your heart, believe it   59   happen for you. Then work, work, work. You get the picture.

   So, be true to your dream, and don’t let anyone   60    it from you—especially yourself.

Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask a boy (girl) for a date？

Many people are afraid to assert themselves (insist upon their own rights). Dr Robert Alberti, author of Stand Up, Speak Out, and Talk Back, thinks it’s because their self-esteem(自尊) is low. “Our whole set-up makes people doubt themselves,” says Alberti. “There’s always a 'superior' around — a parent, a teacher, a boss — who 'knows better’”.

But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people to assert themselves. They offer “assertiveness training” courses (AT). In the AT courses people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive(敢闯, 闯劲儿) without hurting other people.

In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear. A group taking an AT course will help the timid person to lose his fear. But AT uses an even stronger motive—the need to share. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels. AT says you can get to feel good about yourself. And once you do, you can learn to speak out.

In the passage, the writer talks about the problem that _______.

A. some people are too easy-going

B. some people are too timid

C. there are too many superiors around us

D. some people dare not stick up for their own rights

The effect of our set-up on people is often to _______.

A. make them distrust their own judgment

B. make things more favorable for them

C. keep them from speaking out as much as their superiors do

D. help them to learn to speak up for their rights

One thing AT doesn’t do is to _______.

A. use the need of people to share

B. show people they have the right to be themselves

C. help people to be aggressive at anytime even when others suffer

D. help people overcome fear

More than 20 million kids in the United States live with one parent. Separation and divorce are the most common reasons for this. In other cases, the mom and dad may never have lived together, or one of them may have died.

Living with one parent instead of two can bring about a lot of emotions. These feelings can be pretty strong, and they can be confusing, too. You might feel terribly sad and angry because your parents divorced.

Single parents are often working parents because someone needs to earn money to buy food, clothing, and a place to live in. Having a job means your mom or dad is able to provide these things and more for you. People work for other reasons, too. A job can let a person use his or her special talents and skills. A job can be important because it helps people in the community.

But even though you might understand why your mom or dad has to work, sometimes it can be hard to accept. This can be especially true during the summer or school vacations. You’re home, they’re gone, and the days can seem really long.

It can be tough when you don’t have enough time with your dad or mom. When you live with one parent, that person really has to do the work of two people. Besides a job, your mom or dad is responsible for caring for the kids, the house, the yard, the car and the pets. So what can you do ?

One of the best ways is to hold a family meeting. Talk about everyone’s schedule for work, school, and activities. You can also talk about what jobs around the house need to be done every day. You might want to help your parent cook dinner sometimes. That can be both fun and helpful to your parent. Maybe you can also schedule a weekly game or a movie at night.

1.What are the main reasons for kids’ living with one parent?

A．Separation and divorce.                  B．A lot of emotions.

C．Working and caring for the kids.            D．Working parents.

2.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A．Some kids live with one parent for the other’s death.

B．Living with one parent can cause a lot of emotions.

C．Working means a mom or dad is able to provide things for their kids.

D．Kids can also talk about what jobs in their school can be done at a family meeting.

3.It can be inferred from the underlined sentence (in Paragraph 4 ) that ______

A．the kid in the company of friends does want help

B．the kid who plays with both parents does need their love

C．the kid lacks both parents’ love does feel lonely

D．the kid who understands parents’ work does be helpful

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A．Living with a single parent                 B．Single parents and work

C．How to work with a single parent            D．Schedules for work

We recently treated our new-adult son and his girlfriend to a seafood feast, near Cocoa Beach, Florida.
