Life is filled with challenges. As we get older we  36  realize that those challenges are the very things that  37  us and make us who we are. It is the same with the challenges that come with  38  .

When we are faced with a challenge, we usually have two   39  . We can try to beat it off, or we can decide that the thing  40  the challenge isn’ t worth the  41   and call it quits. Although there are certainly  42  when calling it quits is the right thing to do, in most  43  all that is needed is  44  and communication.

When we are committed to something, it means that no matter how  45  or how uncomfortable something is, we will always choose to  46   it and work it through instead of running away from it. Communication is making a  47  for discussion and talking about how you feel as opposed to just saying what the other person did wrong.  48  you can say to a friend, “ I got my feeling hurt,”   49  “You hurt my feelings,” you are going to be able to solve the problem much faster.

In dealing with the many challenges that friendship will bring to you, try to see them for  50_  they are: small hurdles you need to jump or  51  on your way through life. Nothing is so big that it is  52   to get over, and hurt only  53  to make us stronger. It is all part of growing up, it  54  to everyone, and some day you will  55  all of this and say, “Hard as it was, it made me who I am today. And that is a good thing.”

Our “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. “I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie.

Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I’ll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out.

The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time. Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around,” Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention.

Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering(口吃的)son, Tom, doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who’s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.

The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child ---talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves(应得到)to be an only child at least once in a while.

What is the text mainly about?

   A. The experience of the only child being with mother.

   B. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time.

   C. The happy life of two families.

   D. The basic needs of children.

Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were _____________.

   A. happy        B. curious        C. regretful        D. friendly

What is one of the changes the author finds in her children?

   A. The daughter acts like a leader.         B. Sam holds her hand more often.

   C. The boys become better followers.      D. Tom has less difficulty in speaking.

The author seems to believe that ___________.

   A. having brothers and sisters is fun

   B. it’s tiring to look after three children

   C. every child needs parents’ full attention

   D. parents should watch others’ children
