  “But what if I break my arm again?” my 5-year-old daughter asked.I knew how much she wanted to learn to ride.Yet ever since she’d fallen off her bike and broken her arm, she’d been afraid.

  “Oh honey,” I said.“I don’t think you’ll break another arm.”

  “But I could, couldn’t I?”

  “Yes,” I admitted, and found myself struggling for the right thing to say.“I don’t think I want to ride,” she said and got off her bike.

  We walked away and sat down beside a tree.

  “Don’t you want to ride with your friends?” I asked.“And I thought you were hoping to start riding your bike to school next year,” I added.

  “I was,” she said in a low voice.

  “You know, honey,” I said.“Most everything you do comes with dangers.You could break your arm at gymnastics.Do you want to stop going to the gym?” “No, of course not!” she replied.And with a determined spirit, she stood up and agreed to try again.I held on to the back of her bike until she found the courage to say, “Let’s go!”

  I spent the rest of the afternoon at the park watching a very brave little girl overcome a fear, and congratulating myself for being an independent single parent.

  As we walked home, pushing the bike as we made our way along the sidewalk, she asked me about a conversation she’d overheard me having with my mother the night before.

  “Why were you and Grandma arguing last night?”

  “It’s nothing.” I told her.

  She shrugged(耸肩).“Grandma said she just wanted you to find someone to love.”

  “What Grandma wants is for some guy to break my heart again,” I snapped.

  “But Mom…”

  “You’re too young to understand.” I told her.

  She was quiet for the next few minutes.Then she looked up and in a small voice said, “So I guess love isn’t like a broken arm.”

  Unable to answer, we walked the rest of the way in silence.When I got home, I let go and agreed to meet a man called Steve.

  Steve was the man for me.We married less than a year later.It turned out my mother and my daughter were right.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在正确选项上画勾。

  Each year, millions of people go abroad to work, study, or travel. It's a great way to find out what life is like m another part of the world! You're probably hoping to make new friends and learn about the culture in your host countryeverything from attitudes and beliefs to social customs and popular foods. But constantly having to deal with new situations can be frustrating, even stressful.

  Homesickness, stress, fear, and confusion are all symptoms of “culture shock.” At first, you may feel like getting on the plane and heading home. It's OK to have those feelings, but the following are some tips to help you handle the challenges that you will face.

  Don't expect to be perfect. You may feel frustrated that you have culture shock, especially since you probably spent so much time preparing for your trip. No matter how much information you read, or how well you speak the host language, it is natural to feel overwhelmed sometimes. If you give yourself some time, things will gradually get easier.

  Have an open mind. While it's certainly OK to feel frustration or confusion in your new surroundings, try not to form an opinion about the new culture too soon. Don't think of the host culture as better or worse, just different-you'll be more willing to try new things.

  Participate. This is obvious, but everybody needs to be reminded. Just watching life go on around you isn't good enough. You really need to try things for yourself. Don't worry about making a mistake; people in your host country will generally be very understanding and willing to help if you have questions.
