I’m glad you would like to share your feelings with me. It’s hardly surprising that your feelings of not being “grown up” have come on strongly at this point in your life, just before you’re about to become a father. You are asking: will I make a good father? How will I deal with? Should I have brought another little person into the world? Can I provide for it? Help! I think nearly every sensitive about-to-be-parent must have these occasional feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy(不适)before the birth and it would be most unusual if you didn’t share them.
It’s difficult, honestly, to feel grown-up unless you have something less grown-up to relate to. The boss with a hen-pecking wife may feel like a seven-year-old when he’s at home. But as he walks through the office door, and knows he’s going to be surrounded by staff looking to him for advice, he grows into a fully mature(成熟的)man. And I think it’s a mistake to imagine that we all feel, as we age, a kind of progression of states, from the baby to the adult. Most people feel, on Tuesday, about three years old, and on a Wednesday, around 80. I remember feeling very grown-up at eight, a time when I was weighed down with responsibility. These days, much older, I can, in the company of people I feel at ease with, feel like a young girl.
There’s a common remark that “all men are little boys”, but it’s not true. It’s more true that men often behave like little boys. But nearly all people, at some moments in their lives, are able of great maturity.
Once your baby arrives, you’ll soon feel less childlike, or rather, less often. When your child tries to put its fingers into the electric plug, the adult in you will rise up to prevent it. You’ll see you have very little in common with a needy child, particularly if it’s looking to you for comfort and support.
Comfort yourself, David, with two truths. One is that your friends laugh when they talk about this subject because they, like you, feel frightened. And remember that people who haven’t grown up don’t go around talking about the fact that they don’t feel grown-up.
Hope my advice will be helpful and good luck to you and your little one.
Sincerely Yours,
Miss Advice
小题1:According to the passage, Miss Advice thinks David’s self-doubt _______.

答案
小题1:B
小题2:C
小题3:B
解析
试题分析: 本文为书信类文章,主要就一个准爸爸怀疑自己是否成熟的问题给出建议。作者认为成熟感会随着处境的不同而变化,有了小孩的男人会变得成熟。
小题1:B。细节题。根据第一段 it would be most unusual if you didn’t share them可知不分享那些感受才是不正常的。所以Miss Advice认为David的这种自我怀疑是正常的。故选B。
小题2:C。推理判断题。根据第二段It’s difficult, honestly, to feel grown-up unless you have something less grown-up to relate to可知作者认为当你面对一些不成熟的事物时,你就会感觉自己成熟。通过后文举的例子有一个唠叨的妻子,丈夫在家就像小孩一样。然而当他面对员工时,他就会变得非常成熟。说明人们的成熟感会随着处境的不同而变化。故选C。
小题3:B。推理判断题。根据第四段Once your baby arrives, you’ll soon feel less childlike, or rather, less often.可知作者认为男人有了小孩之后会变得成熟。故选B。

Frequently asked questions
Why is there a fee?
We are a small, all-volunteer non-profit organization, and the fees help cover our cost of running the program.
How did the Amazing Kids! PenPals Program begin?
The program began as a way of reaching out to the children affected by the devastating (毁灭性的) hurricanes of 2005. Our hope was that by matching young hurricane survivors with a new pen pal, we could help them in their recovery from the trauma (创伤) they experienced.
The program is now available to all children worldwide. We continue to welcome teachers, youth groups or agencies who like to work with hurricane survivors.
How does it work?
Amazing Kids! will match students of the same gender and age with other students who may share similar interests and hobbies, based on the information provided on the registration form.
I’ve completed all forms and made my payment. What happens next?
Someone from Amazing Kids! will contact you once a match has been found. You will be asked to call the other parent, teacher or group leader of the pen pal Amazing Kids! has selected. If both adults agree that the pen pal match is a good one, then the students may begin writing to each other. If the match is determined not to be a good one, Amazing Kids! will try and find an alternative match.

classes. The headmaster had told us a few days 2 that he was coming. I thought the headmaster was very
nervous 3 it, for every day, he came to all the classes, 4 the teachers over and over again what they must
do and examined the boys himself to see whether they were 5 for the inspection. He told us in our 6 that
we were all fools and would be sure to 7 him lose face before the Inspector.
All 8 made us very nervous; and when the Inspector wandered into our class, we were all 9 with
fright. I felt all that I 10 knew had been clean forgotten.
The Inspector was a tall man. He wore glasses and always 11 very strict. He kept examining the class in
English and I was asked to read. I felt very 12 but somehow I managed to get through without any mistakes.
Some of the other boys, 13 did not do well and the Inspector looked even more serious than usual, though he
did not say 14 . We got along better with History and Geography; but when it came to Maths, he set us to
some very 15 problems which we 16 to do; so he looked very black at our teacher. Our teacher was very
17 with us afterwards; but I am sure we should have done 18 if we had not been so 19 . I think I should
like to be an inspector when I 20 up. Then everyone would have to be afraid of me!

I have a seven-year-old son named John. He loves chocolates. He often takes chocolates instead of meals. Therefore, he gets very bad teeth. The dentist (牙医) told me not to let him eat chocolates any more. But his grandfather dotes on (宠爱) him. He often buys John chocolates even though he knows that they are bad for teeth. I know that John is his only grandson, who is everything to him. I really don"t want to make him unhappy. Therefore, I always allow John to eat the chocolate his grandfather bought him. Yesterday evening I kissed John good night and asked him to say his prayers before going to bed, and then I left his bedroom. A few minutes later, I heard John shouting word by word. "Tomorrow-is-my-birthday. May-God-bring-me-a-big-box-of-chocolates." I went to his room and saw him kneeling on the ground shouting out his prayers. I said, "Don"t shout, John. Your Dad is sleeping now! God can hear you no matter how softly you talk to him." Pointing to the next room where his grandpa sleeps, John said secretly, "My God is sleeping. He can"t hear me unless I wake him up." | |||
