Five years later my little boy was about to 37 for his yellow belt in karate(空手道). As a five-year-old child, he wasn’t taking it 38 , because it was Mom trying to help him. I found myself yelling and telling him he would never get the belt acting like that. I was trying to 39 him his back-flip(背摔). He continued to play and I continued to 40 . Finally I had made him feel like he couldn’t 41 anything, just as I promised myself I wouldn’t do. Still mad and stubborn I couldn’t 42 . I had to teach him his flip. He was doing fine with it by the time we had to leave to go to karate. While taking the test, he did 43 . His instructor would ask him to do something, and it became 44 for him. He never asked him to do the back-flip. He had passed his yellow belt test. We got in the car to 45 when he looked at me and said ”Mom, why did you make me do that back-flip so many times, 46 it wasn’t even on the test.” The words wouldn’t have 47 anything to anyone else, but it was a slap in my face. That night while 48 in bed, I told him I loved him. He was 49 and didn’t say anything, just giggled. I said “I really do love you baby.” I was still feeling 50 , and also wondering if he had 51 me. Finally he replied in the 52 voice, “I know you do, but I love you more.” He had forgiven me and I had decided that his feeling were more 53 than any test he would 54 take. I made a new 55 to be better mother and to accept that he was only a child.

举一反三
A good friend of mine was complaining about her son the other day.“Did you notice,” she started, “how he didn’t wait for me to get my salad before he dove into his?” True enough, the boy attacked his plate faster than a cat in the wild.Without manners, we’re no more than animals.Actually, that’s not true.I’ve been watching and feeding a group of wild cats, and they show unusual politeness toward each other.Even when food is scarce, they take turns, leaving at least a small part for the next in line. My mother educated her three children to have good manners all the time.We were made to feel very uncomfortable as if we were sitting on pins and needles until we got used to saying please, thank you, pardon me, and I’m sorry.And I have to say, while it was a painful learning experience, it was one of the most valuable. I can’t tell you how often I sat with my friends, eating at their dinner tables, and their parents thought highly of my good manners.While it was a little embarrassing, I knew even then that my mother’s teachings were paying off. Many years later, when I was attending seminars across the country, my manners were quite useful. While I regret that I haven’t been a perfect example, I’m still working on it.I suppose, in this regard, my mother lives on through me.I didn’t have her beautiful singing voice or her green eyes, but she did make sure I received one of her finest characteristics. 小题1:What did the writer’s friend most probably complain about?A.Her son’s eating too quickly. | B.Her son’s not having a healthy diet. | C.Her son’s not having good table manners. | D.Teenagers’ not having good manners. | 小题2:The underlined word “scarce” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.A.too much | B.not delicious | C.not enough | D.quite hot | 小题3:We learn that the writer’s mother __________.A.was strict about her children’s manners | B.never punished her children | C.had beautiful blue eyes | D.was not good at singing | 小题4:What does the writer think of her experience of learning good manners?A.Easy and relaxing | B.Painful and valuable | C.Easy but useless | D.Too horrible | 小题5:We can infer from the passage that the writer _________.A.is surely liked by everyone around her | B.is not satisfied with most people’s manners around her | C.thinks she has been a perfect example to the young | D.thanks her mother for teaching her the good manners a lot |
