grow up to be just like his father, and every little girl thinks her father is the smartest man on the earth. It"s
not very easy to be a good father, but it"s not that difficult either. Children will truly enjoy spending time
with their fathers, not just when they are kids, but even when they are adults.
Not all children communicate well with their fathers. Communication is often left to mothers, while
fathers dispense advice as and when necessary. Don"t expect all conversations to centre around the
dinner table. Go to your children"s bedrooms and talk to them about school, their teachers or their friends. Remember that the conversation cannot be one-sided. When your children open up to you, you also need
to open up to them.
If your children come home from school feeling upset, go up to them and ask them what is the matter. And if it is something which seems to you to be a silly reason to be upset, don"t voice your opinion. It
may be silly to you, but to your children it is important enough. So don"t wave the topic away by telling
them not to bother about such stupid things. Simply discussing their problems with them will help them
feel better.
Don"t shy away from having discussions about your teenage children"s love lives. Generally speaking,
your children are definitely not going to discuss intimate details with you. Try to let them know that you
are relaxed about topics on love. Tell your children how you met your wife. It is perfectly normal for
children to go through feelings for the opposite sex as they grow up, and by keeping the topic closed for
discussion, you are only shutting them off from discussing their feelings with you. All they will do is turn to
their friends.
B. great
C. serious
D. strong
B. talking with children around the dinner table is unnecessary
C. it is better for fathers to communicate more with their children
D. mothers should communicate less with their children.
B. express your opinion
C. keep silent
D. let them alone
B. Personal
C. Strange
D. Serious

singing did not come up as a surprise, as he had a good voice right from his childhood. When Elvis was
ten years old, he participated in a Talent Contest at Mississippi-Alabama Fair and Dairy Show and won
a prize for the song he sang.
When Elvis was 13 years old, his family moved to Tennessee. To support himself and his father, Elvis
took on a job as a truck driver. A disc containing two ballads (民歌) that Elvis had recorded for his
mother as a birthday gift was first heard by Sun Studio"s president Sam Phillips. After listening to Elvis,
Sam made Elvis an offer and that was the birth of a new singing sensation (鼓动的人物); a new
superstar was born. In 1954 his first record was released from Sun Studio.
In 1955, Elvis singed a $35,000 recording contract with RCA Victor (through Thomas Parker), who

Elvis on the top list of the superstars and the nationwide "Elvis Craze" was started. Elvis became the
prince who ruled hearts of his millions of fans.

Me Tender was a big hit, he had no problem in marking his comeback in movies.
After making several very successful and hit movies, Elvis returned to the world of music. In 1968, Elvis
once again started working with his old band and gave some more smashing (极好的) hits to the world.
In 1972, he released his last top-ten single Burning Love.
It"s nearly impossible to measure the level of popularity he had reached in his career. Elvis Presley

one position on the charts. During his lifetime, he worked in about 31 movies; all of them were huge
success.

said quietly and confidently, "Even if we don"t dig all the way through the earth, look at what we have
found 12 the way!"
Their goal was far too ambitious, but it did cause them to dig. And that is 13 a goal is for - to cause
us to move in the direction we have chosen, 14 , to set us digging!
But not every goal will be fully 15 . Not every job will end 16 . Not every hope will come to pass. Not every love will last. Not every dream will be 17 . But when you fall short of your aim, perhaps you can say, "Yes, 18 look at what I"ve found along the way! Look at the wonderful things 19 my life
