An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son.

Suddenly a crow perched on their window.

The father asked his son, “What is this?”

The son replied, “It is a crow.”

After a few minutes, the father asked his son the 2nd time, “What is this?”

The son said, “Father, I have just now told you ‘It’s a crow’.”

After a little while, the old father again asked his son the 3rd time, “What is this?”

At this time some expression of irritation was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father. “It’s a crow, a crow, a crow.”

A little after, the father again asked his son the 4th time, “What is this?”

This time the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW’. Are you not able to understand this?”

A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered diary, which he had maintained since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:

“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. I did not at all feel irritated, I rather felt affection for my innocent child.”

1. The underlined word “irritation” in the passage means ___________.

A. puzzlement B. annoyance

C. patience D. excitement

2. Why did the old father keep asking his son the same question?

A. Because he developed a kind of disease.

B. Because he was so boring that he wanted to play a joke with his son.

C. Because he wanted to know whether his son was as patient as he used to be.

D. Because his son used to love playing this game with him.

3. How old was the father when he wrote down this page in the diary?

A. 35 years old B. 38 years old

C. 45 years old D. 80 years old

4.The reason why the father did not feel irritated when his son asked him the same question for 23 times is that _______________.

B. the father was more patient than the son

C. the father had already got used to this kind of situation

D. the father loved his son so much that he never got tired of doing this again and again

5.What would the son probably say after reading the words in the diary?

A. “Sorry, dad. It’s all my fault to forget that.”

B. Nothing but felt rather ashamed.

C. “Sorry, dad. I shouldn’t have done that to you when I was such a young child.”

D. “Thank you, dad. I will do the same to my son.”

A house of cards? Sounds unbelievable, doesn’t it? Not if the architect is 31-year-old Bryan Berg. He’s made a career out of building fantastic card houses, stadiums, capitols, castles — and the world’s tallest card tower. How does he do it?

Bryan’s structures are amazing because they are made entirely of perfectly balanced, freestanding playing cards. He never uses glue, tape, or anything else to hold the cards together. Nor does he fold the cards. He’s discovered another way to make a strong house of cards, using a trick from nature.

To make plants strong, nature builds them with cells that have tough walls. Rows and rows of these cells form a grid(格子) that helps leaves and stems keep their shape. Bees use the same kind of repeating pattern to create strong honeycombs, where they live and store honey. Bryan designs similar grids, using cards to create a repeating pattern of cells.

He begins with a single cell made by balancing four cards against one another to form a box. Then he repeats the cell over and over, expanding outward to form the grid, which makes a good foundation for a strong card structure. The larger the grid, the more weight it can carry. Sometimes Bryan uses several cards, instead of just one, to construct the cell walls, making the grid even stronger. The trick, he tells kids when he speaks in classrooms, is to place your cards as tightly together as possible when laying out your grid, making sure the cards are not leaning at all.

After building this solid base, Bryan lays cards across the top to make the floor for the next “story” of the building. He may add towers, columns, steeples, or domes. Using the principle of repeating cells, Bryan builds structures of amazing strength.

In the Cards

Not surprisingly, Bryan has always been interested in building things. Growing up on a “big, old farm” in rural Iowa, he had plenty of room to play. “We were in the middle of nowhere,” Bryan remembers, “with lots of space to do whatever we wanted. I was always making something, using things like sticks or bales of hay.”

Bryan’s grandfather taught him how to stack cards. Bryan’s two interests — building and card stacking — soon combined. But stacking in his family’s farmhouse was challenging. “Our old house had wood floors that weren’t all level,” he reports. “And they weren’t very firm. When people walked around, it was like ‘earthquake action.’ It was a challenge to build something that wouldn’t fall down immediately.”

Bryan constructed tower after tower; he went through a lot of trial and error before he built anything taller than himself. When he placed a few decks of cards on top of his grid, he discovered how strong it was. Bryan’s towers began to grow taller.

How Tall Is Too Tall?

Bryan’s first Guinness World Record for the world’s tallest card tower came in the spring of 1992, when he was in high school. Learning that the world record was 12 feet 10 inches, Bryan built a slim tower that topped out at 14 feet 6 inches. Done as a project for his geometry class, it took him 40 hours and 208 decks of cards. Since then he’s gone on to win world records for even taller buildings. His latest winner measured 25 feet 3.5 inches and used about 2,400 decks of cards. The building, which tapered to a high, narrow point, had 131 stories.

Why don’t these towers fall down? The key is in a good solid base, a repeating pattern of stories, and a tapering top. Bryan likes to point out how card buildings resemble real ones. They are built cell by cell, story by story. The separate parts make one strong whole. The heavier the building, the stronger and more stable it is. But the weight can’t all be at the top.

After spending so much time building something so cool, Bryan admits it’s sometimes painful to see his structures destroyed. But he compares his work to the building of a sandcastle or an ice sculpture.

“They wouldn’t be as special if they were permanent,” he points out. “My buildings are like snowdrifts, or clouds in the sky. They can’t last forever.

1.According to the article, which natural structure is a model for Bryan’s card structures?

A. A sand dune.B. A honeycomb.

C. A snowdrift.D. A thundercloud.

2.What was Bryan’s first world record?

A. Plant cells and honeycombs.

B. World records and geometry.

C. Building things and stacking cards.

D. Playing cards and designing houses.

4.Why was it a challenge for Bryan to build card structures in his family’s farmhouse?

A. The floors of the house were uneven.

B. The ceilings in the house were too low.

C. The floors of the house were slippery.

D. The windows in the house were windy.

5.In the underlined sentence, the word “tapered” means the top of the building was_________.

A. olderB. shinierC. strongerD. thinner

 

My six-year-old came home from school this week with two envelopes. One was for a donation to help people in the Philippines. The other was to help hungry families have a Thanksgiving meal.

“I’ll put a check in each of these. Then you can add your own money from your piggy bank, okay?” I said, thinking he’d be so excited to put his own stamp on things.

“That’s okay, mom. You put money in. I don’t want to waste mine,” he sweetly sang as he colored. “I want to fill my bank all the way up.”

Ack! I guess I know what our dinnertime discussion will be about tonight, I thought.

I had figured that through watching his parents donate items, helping us take toys from time to time to needy kids and putting money in the basket at church, he would just understand why it was important to help people in need — and even want to do it himself.

But of course he doesn’t really understand yet. “There’s a big disconnect between the people ‘over there’ and my piggy bank,” said parenting educator Vicki Hoefle.

“There’s nothing wrong with the child. There’s just no connection.”

As for having that conversation immediately, or forcing my son to put money into the envelopes: “Try not to do it now,” Hoefle said. Teaching a child about donating their own money or toys or time to people in need “should be a gentle introduction into what we hope will be a way of life for our kids.”

She suggested these things to help children understand the importance of giving:

* Just talk about it. Then explore the issue from a perspective he can understand.

* Use the course of a year to introduce kids to opportunities. That way, they won’t be shocked when you ask them to stuff their own money into an envelope （like this writer just did）.

* Pick a family charity for the year and have a conversation about how you all can help throughout the year.

* Think of this not as something you must teach, but as something to expose them to.

At her house, Hoefle said, “When you got something new, you gave something up.” Each birthday, her children would pick what toys they had outgrown and give them away. “There was a comfort in it. It just became a natural part of the kids’ lives.”

So I will fill those envelopes alone this time. But I’ll make sure he understands why they should be filled—gradually.

4.What can we learn about the writer from the passage?

A. She often makes donations for people in need.

B. She taught her son a lesson over dinner that evening.

C. She is at a loss as for what she should do next.

D. She invited a parenting educator home for advice.

5.What is the best title of the passage?
