　　When we're little, our mother is the center of our attention, and we are the center of hers．So our mother's characteristics leave an indelible(持久的)impression, and we are forever attracted to people with her facial features, body type, personality, even sense of humor．If our mother is warm and giving, as adults we tend to be attracted to people who are warm and giving．If our mother is strong and even-tempered, we are going to be attracted to a fair-minded strength in our mates．

　　The mother has an additional influence on her sons：she not only gives them clues to what they will find attractive in a mate, but also affects how they feel about women in general．So if she is warm and nice, her sons are going to think that's the way women are．They will probably grow up to be warm and responsive lovers and also be cooperative around the house．

　　Conversely(相反), a mother who has a depressive personality, and is sometimes friendly but then suddenly turns cold and rejecting, may raise a man who becomes a“dance-away lover”．Because he's been so scared(害怕)about love from his mother, he's afraid of commitment(责任、义务)and may pull away from a girlfriend for this reason．

　　While the mother determines in large part what qualities attract us in a mate, it's the father－the first male in our lives－who influences how we relate to the opposite sex．Fathers have an enormous effect on their children's personalities and chances of marital(婚姻的)happiness．

　　Just as mothers influence their son's general feelings toward women, fathers influence their daughter's general feelings about men．If a father lavishes praise on his daughter and shows that she is a worthwhile person, she'll feel very good about herself in relation to men．But if the father is cold, critical(批评的)or absent, the daughter will tend to feel she's not very lovable or attractive．

　　In addition, most of us grow up with people of similar social circumstances．We hang around with people in the same town; our friends have about the same educational backgrounds and career goals．We tend to be most comfortable with these people, and therefore we tend to link up with others whose families are often much like our own．

(1)

Why do our mother's characteristics leave us an indelible impression?
[　　]
A．	Because we are likely to be attached to people with her characteristics．
B．	Because the mother and her child are the centers of each other when her child is very young．
C．	Because our mother is better than our dad．
D．	Because our mother is a woman who is kind to us．

(2)

Which of the following is NOT true?
[　　]
A．	If our mother is warm and giving, we love to be together with warm and generous people．
B．	If our mother is strong and well-controlled, we are going to be attracted to a fair-minded strength in our mates．
C．	Mother not only gives her children clues to what they will find attractive in a mate, but also affects how they feel about women in general．
D．	Fathers influence their daughter's general feelings about men．

(3)

What can we know from Paragraphs 2 and 3?
[　　]
A．	The mother only influences her sons．
B．	The sons always think women are warm and nice．
C．	A mother who has a depressive personality is sure to raise a dance-away lover．
D．	The mother has an additional influence on her sons．

(4)

What does the underlined word“lavishes”in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
[　　]
A．	Uses much．
B．	Uses little．
C．	Never uses．
D．	Seldom uses．

(5)

What does the passage mainly talk about?
[　　]
A．	Mothers' influence on their sons．
B．	Parents' influence on their children．
C．	Parents' impression on their children
D．	Fathers' influence on their daughters．

When Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, "Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesn't work out, you'll have something to rely on." Mary responded in typical teenage fashion. From that moment on, "the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course," she recalls.

The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her mom," I don't know how to use a computer," she admits.

Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All, her second book is less about life as an　award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. "I felt there was a need for a book like this," she says. "I didn't want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we're self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease."

But she hasn't always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up--again---and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet.

Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity. "Everybody on earth can ask, 'why me?' about something or other," she insists. "It doesn't do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I've come to realize the importance of that as I've grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be."

1.Why did Mary feel regretful?

A. She didn't achieve her ambition.

B. She didn't take care of her mother.

C. She didn't complete her high school.

D. She didn't follow her mother's advice.

2.We can know that before 1995 Mary 。

A. had two books published B. received many career awards

C. knew how to use a computer D. supported the JDRF by writing

3.Mary's second book Growing Up Again is mainly about her ________.

A. living with diabetes B. successful show business

C. service for an organization D. remembrance of her mother

4.When Mary received the life-changing news, she __.

A. lost control of herself B. began a balanced diet

C. tired to get a treatment D. behaved in an adult way

5.What can we know from the last paragraph?

A. Mary feels pity for herself.

B. Mary has recovered from her disease.

C. Mary wants to help others as much as possible.

D. Mary determines to go back to the dance floor.
