Mothers and daughters go through so much — yet when was the last time a mother and daughter sat down to write a book together about it all? Perri Klass and her mother, Sheila Solomon Klass, both gifted professional writers, prove to be ideal co-writers as they examine their decades of motherhood, daughterhood, and the wonderful ways their lives have overlapped (重叠).

Perri notes with amazement how closely her own life has mirrored her mother’s: both have full-time careers; both have published books, articles, and stories; each has three children; they both love to read. They also love to travel — in fact, they often take trips together. But in truth, the harder they look at their lives, the more they acknowledge their big differences in circumstance and basic nature.

A child of the Depression (大萧条), Sheila was raised in Brooklyn by parents who considered education a luxury for girls. Starting with her college education, she has fought for everything she’s ever accomplished. Perri, on the other hand, grew up privileged in the New Jersey suburbs of the 1960s and 1970s. For Sheila, wasting time or money is a crime, and luxury is unthinkable while Perri enjoys the occasional small luxury, but has not been successful in trying to persuade her mother into enjoying even the tiniest thing she likes.

Each writing in her own unmistakable voice, Perri and Sheila take turns exploring the joys and pains, the love and bitterness, the minor troubles and lasting respect that have always bonded them together. Sheila describes the adventure of giving birth to Perri in a tiny town in Trinidad where her husband was doing research fieldwork. Perri admits that she can’t sort out all the mess in the households, even though she knows it drives her mother crazy. Together they compare thoughts on bringing up children and working, admit long-hidden sorrows, and enjoy precious memories.

Looking deep into the lives they have lived separately and together, Perri and Sheila tell their mother-daughter story with honesty, humor, enthusiasm, and admiration for each other. A written account in two voices, Every Mother Is a Daughter is a duet (二重奏) that produces a deep, strong sound with the experiences that all mothers and daughters will recognize.

1.Why does Perri think that her own life has mirrored her mother’s?

A. They both have gone through difficult times.

B. They have strong emotional ties with each other.

C. They have the same joys and pains, and love and bitterness.

D. They both have experiences as daughter, mother and writer.

2.The word “luxury” in Paragraph 3 means ______.

A. something rare but not pleasant

B. something that cannot be imagined

C. something expensive but not necessary

D. something that can only be enjoyed by boys

3.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?

A. The content of the book. B. The purpose of the book.

C. The influence of the book. D. The writing style of the book.

4.How are women’s lives explored in this book?

A. In a musical form. B. Through field research.

C. With unique writing skills. D. From different points of view.

“Well, what did I say？Buck’s a real fighter, all right,” said Francois the next morning when he discovered that Spitz had disappeared and that Buck was covered in blood．

“Spitz fought like a wolf,” said Perrault, as he looked at the bites all over Buck．

“And Buck fought like ten wolves,” answered Francois. “And we'll travel faster now. No more Spitz，no more trouble.”

Francois started to harness the dogs. He needed a new lead-dog, and decided that Solleks was the best dog that he had. But Buck jumped at Solleks and took his place．

“Look at Buck！” said Francois，laughing. “He's killed Spitz，and now he wants to be lead-dog．Go away, Buck！”

He pulled Buck away and tried to harness Solleks again．Solleks was unhappy too. He was frightened of Buck, and when Francois turned his back，Buck took Solleks’ place again. Now Francois was angry．

“I'll show you! ” he cried，and went to get a heavy club from the sledge．

Buck remembered the man in the red coat，and moved away. This time，when Solleks was harnessed as lead-dog，Buck did not try to move in．He kept a few meters away and circled around Francois carefully. But when Francois called him to his old place in front of Dave, Buck refused．He had won his fight with Spitz and he wanted to be lead－dog．

For an hour the two men tried to harness him．Buck did not run away，but he did not let them catch him．Finally，Francois sat down，and Perrault looked at his watch．It was getting late. The two men looked at one another and smiled. Francois walked up to Solleks，took off his harness， led him back and harnessed him in his old place．Then he called Buck. All the other dogs were harnessed and the only empty place was now the one at the front. But Buck did not move．

“Put down the club,” said Perrault．

Francois dropped the club, and immediately Buck came up to the front of the team．Francois harnessed him, and in a minute the sledge was moving．

Buck was an excellent leader. He moved and thought quickly and led the other dogs well. A new leader made no difference to Dave and Solleks; they continued to pull hard．But the other dogs had had an easy life when Spitz was leading．They were surprised when Buck made them work hard and punished them for their mistakes. Pike，the second dog，was usually lazy；but by the end of the first day he was pulling harder than he had ever pulled in his life. The first night in camp Buck fought Joe，another difficult dog，and after that there were no more problems with him．The team started to pull together，and to move faster and faster．

“I've never seen a dog like Buck!” cried Francois, “Never! He's worth a thousand dollars. What do you think, Perrault? ”

Perrault agreed．They were moving quickly，and covering more ground every day. The snow was good and hard，and no new snow fell．The temperature dropped to 45°C below zero, and didn't change．

This time there was more ice on the Thirty Mile River, and they crossed in a day．Some days they ran a hundred kilometers，or even more. They reached Skagway in fourteen days; the fastest time ever．

At least 12 other murders since 1997, have been linked to an addiction with violent video games．This year, the parents of a 14-year-old murder victim in the UK blamed the killer's obsession（着迷） with the game Manhunt, causing a government review of legislation（立法） to protect children．

But is there any scientific evidence that mere games can make children and young adults more aggressive, or possibly even murderous? There is no doubt children are being exposed to more games violence than ever: around a quarter of all games produced in the US contain some violence．Combine that with the developing sales expected across all types of video games and its clear exposure to virtual violence can only increase．And the violence is becoming more vivid as increases in computing power make the games look ever more realistic．

Psychologists think there may be many reasons why violent games are more harmful to children than violent movies．Firstly, players are actively involved in violence, and may begin to use weapons as second nature．Secondly, violent games provide repetitive aggressive experiences that are rewarded by more killing．

Many studies have shown that people who play violent games regularly are more likely to show high levels of aggression．People who played violent games were more likely to admit to aggressive behavior, including attacks or robberies．

Earlier this year, a study of 13 to 14-year-old children was reported．More than half had played games recommended only for over-18s．The more violent the games they played, the more they considered physical aggression to be acceptable．Other authors in the same edition report that children who play violent games are more likely to argue with teachers and figh．

The matter is controversial, however．Jeffrey Goldstein, a psychologist at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands and a consultant to some video games publishers, agrees that there is good evidence that children who are exposed to violent media, including video games, are more aggressive．But he warns it might not be a simple case of cause and effect: aggressive kids might be most attracted to violent games．

A．Further research on the harm of violent games．

B．The results of more experimental studies．

C．Ways to protect children from violent games．

D．Further research on the advantage of violent games．

2．From the first paragraph, we can know that ．

A．computer games have little to do with violence in real life

B．Manhunt has resulted in the death of one of its players

C．lifelike computer games are forbidden in the UK

D．legislation to protect children in the UK still needs improving

A．violent movies are not so attractive to children

B．the viewers can't take part in violent movies

C．violent movies are not popular with children

D．children can win awards in violent games

4．What can be inferred from the passage？

B．Children who play computer games often quarrel with their teachers and parents．

C．The more violent games kids play, the more aggressive behaviors they are involved in．
