One summer in college, I was invited to be an instructor at a high school leadership camp.

I first   16   a boy under the tree on the first day of camp. His obvious   17   and shyness made him appear weak and lonely. Nearby, 200   18   campers were playing and joking, but the boy seemed to want to be anywhere   19   where he was.

I was instructed to care more about campers who might feel   20  . So I   21   him and said, “Hi, I’m Kevin. It’s nice to meet you. How are you?”

  22   a shaky voice he   23   answered, “Okay, I guess.”

I calmly asked him to join in the activities and   24   some new people. He quietly replied, “No, this is not really my thing.”

I could   25   that this whole experience was   26   to him. But I somehow knew it wouldn’t be right to   27   him, either. It was going to take more time and   28  .

The next day, I was leading camp songs for the campers. They eagerly participated. But the boy was just sitting alone,   29   out the window.

That evening at our nightly staff meeting, I made my   30  about him known. I asked them to pay special attention and spend time with him   31   they could.

The days flew by fast. When the “last dance” came, surprisingly, the boy from under the tree was now a shirtless dancing   32  . He owned the dance floor   33   meaningful time with others. I couldn’t’ believe it was him.

In that instant, I realized how easy it is to give a bit of   34  every day. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I tell this story as   35   as I can, and I advise others to look out for their own “boy under the tree.”

After watching my mother deal with our family of five, I can’t understand why her answer to the question, “What do you do?” is always, “Oh, I’m just a housewife．” JUST a housewife? Anyone who spends most of her time in meal preparation and cleanup, keeping the house clean, attending PTA meetings, leading a scout troop, playing taxi driver to us kids when it’s time for school, musical lessons or the dentist, doing volunteer work for her community is not just a housewife．She’s the real Wonder Woman．

Why is it that so many mothers like mine regard themselves as second-class citizens or something similar? Where has this notion come from? Has our society made “going to work” outside the house more important than what a housewife must face each day? I would be curious to see what would happen if a housewife went on strike．Dishes would pile up and food in the house would run out．There would be no clean towels when needed．Walking and bus riding would increase．

I doubt if the man of the house would be able to take over．Oh, he would probably start out with the attitude that he can do just as good a job, but how long would that last? Not long, once he had to come home each night after work to more housework．There would be no coming home to a prepared meal; The kids would all be screaming for something to eat, clean clothes and more bus fare money．Once he quieted the kids, he’d have to clean the house, go shopping, make sure that kids got a bath, after cleaning out all the dog hairs from the bathtub．Once the kids were down for the night, he might be able to crawl(爬) into an unmade bed and try to read the morning newspaper．

64．What does the writer’s mother NOT do according to the first paragraph?

A．Cooking.         B．Tidying the house.   C．Driving a taxi.  D．Some unpaid work.

65．The underlined word “notion” in the second paragraph can be replaced by the word______．

A．mother                          B．citizen                           C．similarity                       D．thought

66．We can learn from the second paragraph ______．

A．mothers are actually great women                              B．our society looks down upon housewives

C．housewives should go on a strike                           D．doing housework is not important at all

67．The possible main idea of the third paragraph is _______．

A．men should share housework with their wives

B．attitude is not the only thing needed to do a job well

C．kids are the most challenging part of the housework

D．men are unlikely to handle the work of a housewife
