This is my first letter to you, al
though I have been reading your column for many years. I need an outside opinion.I am a grandmother in my 70s and have just returned from visiting my daughter, her husband and their three dearly loved children--all under the age of 5--and I"m upset with some of their parenting ways.
For example: They lock the doors to their children"s bedrooms at night because the children might
get out of their beds and wander around the house, and we may not hear them."If one child should get punishment, all three are punished, and if one
child says a naughty word, all three are given hot sauce (辣酱汁) in the mouth. I know these parents love their children very much, but are these ways of disciplining them wise? Please understand, it is not my aim to interfere (干涉).
--- Gram
Dear Gram,
Children"s bedroom doors should not be locked. Should a flash fire break out, it would be a nightmare (噩梦).Punishing all the children when only one has earned the punishment is a good way to make them grow up to hate each other. Children who use "naughty" words should not be punished with hot sauce in the mouth-they should be taught the proper and acceptable word to use instead of the "naughty" word.
小题1:Gram"s daughter _____________.
| A．is very strict with her children | B．does not love her three children |
| C．always punishes her children at night | D．often gives her children hot sauce |
| A．disclose her daughter"s ways as a mother |
| B．criticize her daughter"s ways as a mother |
| C．express her anger about her daughter s ways as a mom |
| D．get others" opinion about her daughter"s ways as a mom |
| A．Gram seems to care for her grand children very much. |
| B．Gram is against some of her daughter"s ways as a mom. |
C．Abby i s for only one of Gram"s daughter"s ways as a mom. |
| D．Abby agrees with Gram about her daughter"s ways as a mom. |

Time is the easiest thing in the world to waste—the most difficult to control. When you look ahead, it may appear you have 36 you need. Yet it has a way of slipping 37 your fingers like quicksand. You may suddenly find that there is no way to stretch the little time you have 38 to cover all your obligations. For example, 39 a beginning student looking ahead to a full term you may feel that you have an oversupply of time on your hands.40 toward the end of the term you may be 41 because you are running out of time. How can you do? —Control!
Time is 42 . If you don"t control it, it will control you. If you don"t make it work for you, it will 43 you. You must become the master of time, not the servant. “Study hard and play hard” is an old saying, but it still 44 . You have plenty of time for classes, study, work, and play if you use your time 45 . It is not how much time you allocate for study that 46 but how much you learn when you do study.
Too much wasted time is 47 medicine. The more time you waste, the easier it is to continue wasting time. Soon, doing nothing becomes a habit you can"t 48 . You will be 49 to wasting time. When this happens, you 50 your feeling of accomplishment and you fall by the wayside. A full schedule is a good schedule. Some students 51 to hear the time message. They refuse to 52 the fact that college life demands some53 of time control. There is no escape. So wh
at"s the next step? If you seriously want to get the time message, the next passage will give it to you. 54 — it will not only improve your grades but also free you to 55 college life more.| 小题1: |

Like the superstitions in other cultures, American superstitions often involve the things important in daily life, such as health, numbers, and marriage. For example, have you ever had a cough that would not go away? According to one Amer
ican superstit
ion, you should take a piece of your hair and put it between two slices of buttered bread. Next, feed this hair sandwich to a dog and say, “Eat well, you hound, may you be sick and I be sound.” This will trick the evil spirits and help your cough. It will also raise some eyebrows if you try it.In American superstitions, the number three is very important. Often, Americas will say, “All things come in threes.” Three is lucky because it represents the traditional family: mother, father, and child. Therefore, gifts, letters, and guests will often arrive at your home in groups of three. However, it is also possible for bad events, like accidents and funerals, to come in threes as well.
Another time peopl
e pay attention to superstitions is when they get married. During a wedding, brides must wear or carry “something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue”. The old and borrowed things will bring luck to the person who gives them to the bride. The new and blue things wi
ll bring good fortune to the bride herself. The next time someone you know is getting married, be sure to recite this phrase.As it would be unlucky to discuss one more superstition, we will wind things up here. Keep your fingers crossed, and stay lucky!
小题1:The passage is most probably entitled .
| A．American’s Bad Luck | B．Cross-culture and Superstitions |
| C．American Superstitions | D．Daily Life in Superstitions |
| A．when you try it, the dog will raise its eyebrows. |
| B．you will make people surprised when you try this trick |
| C．only if you raise your eyebrows can the trick work |
| D．you will believe in the trick after you try it |
| A．lucky | B．unlucky | C．special | D．ordinary |
| A．save some money for the wedding |
| B．bring good luck to the people who give them to the bride |

| D．pass the bad luck to others |
| A．formal | B．serious | C．humorous | D．critical |
After we got him out, we went back to find the gun that he had thrown down. His tracks showed that for two days he had circled in the forest, within 200 yards of the road. His senses were so dulled by fear and tiredness that he did not hear the cars going by or see the lights at night.
We found him just in time.
This man, like others before him, had simply been frightened when he knew he was lost. What had been a near disaster might have turned out as only a pleasant walk, if he had made a few preparations before he stepped from the highway or off a known path.
Whatever sense of direction that a man may have, it’s still largely a question of observation. A skilled woodsman always keeps an eye on his surroundings. He notes the shape of a mountain, the direction water flows through a swamp, and the way a tree leans across a path. With these in mind, he is still likely to turn around many times, but he is seldom lost.
There are exceptions, of course, and once in a while a man does come across some strange problem that puts him into the “lost” situation. A rainstorm or sudden blizzard may catch him without a compass in his pocket. Darkness may find him in a rough area, where travel is dangerous without a light.
When this happens, the normal first reaction is the fear of being laughed at as a result of his poor knowledge in the woods. He may also be concerned about the inconvenience that he will cause his friends when he doesn’t show up. This false pride may lead him to keep on the move in a false effort to find his way against all difficulties.
The person who thinks ahead is seldom in great danger. He’ll be safe if he observes carefully, thinks ahead, and remains calm.
小题1:The writer suggested that if the man had not been found, he would have ______.
| A．been shot by a gun | B．become confused |
| C．been attacked by wild animals | D．been in great danger |
| A．worry about being laughed at | B．push himself to find his way out |
| C．feel it is convenient to ask for help from his friends | D．feel sorry that he didn’t study hard enough |
| A．intelligence | B．observation | C．direction | D．chance |
| A．go into the woods by themselves | B．don’t know how to signal for help properly |
| C．are frightened when they think they are lost | D．keep their head when they are in trouble |
“What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a …”
“Of course I have a job,” said Emily．“I’m a mother.”
“We don’t list ‘mother’ as an occupation… ‘housewife’ covers it,” said the recorder.
One day I found myself in the same situation．The clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title．“What is your occupation?” she asked．
The words simply popped out．“I’m a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”
The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair.
I repeated the title slowly, and then I stared with wonder as my statement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.
“Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “Just what you do in this field?”
Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesn’t）, in the lab and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out)．Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it)．But the job is more challenging than most careers and rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”
There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out．
As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (依托) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants---ages 13, 7, and 3.
Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6 month old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern．
I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不可缺少的) to mankind than “just another mother.”
Motherhood…What a great career! Especially when there’s a title on the door.
小题1:What can we infer from the conversation between the woman and the recorder at the beginning of the passage?
| A．The woman felt ashamed to admit what her job was. |
| B．The recorder was impatient and rude. |
| C．The author was upset about the situation that mothers faced. |
| D．Motherhood was not recognized and respected as a job by society. |
| A．curious | B．indifferent | C．puzzled | D．interested |
| A．Because the author cared little about rewards. |
| B．Because she admired the author’s research work in the lab. |
| C．Because she thought the author did admirable work. |
| D．Because the writer did something she had little knowledge of. |
| A．To show how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it. |
| B．To argue that motherhood is a worthy career and deserves respect. |
| C．To show that the author had a grander job than Emily. |
| D．To show that being a mother is hard and boring work． |

Several years ago, a friend of mine and her husband were invited to spend the weekend at the husband’s employer"s home．My friend，Arlene，was nervous，because the boss was very 21 with a fine home，and cars that 22 more than her house.
The boss was a generous 23 , and took them to the __24__ restaurants. Arlene knew she would 25 have the opportunity to go to such places again, so she was 26 herself greatly.
They were about to 27 a good restaurant that evening when the boss stopped suddenly, looking __28__ at the road. Arlene wondered if she was supposed to __29__ him. There was nothing on the 30 except a penny.
The boss reached down and 31 the penny. He smiled, and then put it in his __32__as if he had found a great treasure. Why would a man like this pick up a single __33__? Why would he even take the time to __34__?
When they were in the restaurant she could 35 it no longer. She mentioned that her daughter had once had a coin ___36__ , and asked if the penny had some value.
A __37__ crossed the man"s face as he took the penny out of
his pocket."Look at it," he said, ""In God We Trust"."
"In America, for those who trust in God, the name of God is holy, even on a coin.__38__ I find a coin I see those words. They can be __39__ on every single American coin,but people never seem to 40 them! For a short time, at least, I treasure each one as if it were gold."
