话题练习-家庭关系 A Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new house in Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I wanted very much to see his new place and meet his friends. In my earliest memories my father was a tall, handsome and successful man. He loved his work and family, but was uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I was afraid of him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A's in my study and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as "successful" as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to try hard to think up things to say to protect myself. On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father's friends for lunch. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son's funny talks. My father's critical(挑剔的) air and strict rules were gone. He seemed so friendly and interesting to be with us. The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me many stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I'm at last seeing another side of my father. And in doing so, I'm happy with my new friend. My dad, in this new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was. 1. The father was unhappy with the writer because .

I asked in a very low voice. With surprise in her eyes, she stopped her work for a while. The she said, "Susan, look at this thread(线). It can hardly be seen, but it's really there. It makes the quilt strong. If life is a quilt, love should be a thread. Love is inside." I couldn't understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. After they were back, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road every day. They were so kind to each other and it seemed they were the happiest couple. After two months my father still couldn't walk by himself. "Dad, how are you feeling now?" I asked him one day. "Susan, don't worry about me," he said, "I just like walking with your mum. I like this kind of life." Reading his eyes, I knew he loves my mother deeply.

Over half of the children surveyed said they had been bullied(欺负) by a sibling, and one in three said they had been hit, kicked or pushed by a sibling. Others complained of name-calling and having their belongings stolen. Other reasons for only children being much happier include not having to compete(竞争 ) for parents' attention or share bedrooms with a sibling, said Gundi Knies, a researcher on the project. Dr. Ruth Koppard, a child psychologist, said, "In an average home, the more children, the less privacy for each child. Some love sharing a bedroom with a sibling but they would rather choose to do it than have to do it." Homes with just one child make up nearly half of all families in Britain.

There was a severe(严重的) scar(伤疤) that covered nearly the whole right side of her face. The boy never wanted to talk about why or how she got the scar. At the meeting, the people were impressed by the kindness of his mother with the scar, but the little boy was still embarrassed and hid himself from everyone. However, he could hear clearly the conversation between his mother and the teacher. "How did you get the scar on your face?" the teacher asked. The mother replied, "When my son was a baby, he was in a room that caught on fire. Everyone was too afraid to go in because the fire was out of control, but I went in. As I was running towards his bed, I saw a burning wood falling down and I placed myself over him trying to protect him. I was knocked to be unconscious (无知觉的 ), but luckily, a fireman came in and saved both of us." She touched the burned side of her face.

We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War III. She'll talk about my lack of a bright future because I don't plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don't want to do any job about science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack. "Why can't you be like my co-worker's son?" she bemoans all the time. Her co-worker's son received a four-year scholarship and is now making 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don't know what to answer except that I simply can't be like Mr. Perfect as I've called the unnamed co-worker's son. I can't be like him. I'm the type of person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of fame(名声) or salary(薪水). I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I've seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the ho use around 6:30 a.m. and usually comes home around 5 p.m. or even 6 p.m. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn't mean I'll be successful. I'd rather follow my dreams and create my own future. 22. Which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about? A. The writer's studies B. The writer's future job C.

He wants to do something he really likes in the future G Daddy just didn't know how to show love. It was Mom who held the family together. Once when I stole a candy of a shop, he made me take it back. But it was Mom who understood I was just a kid. I broke my leg one day on the playground and it was Mom who held me in her arms all the way to the hospital. Dad pulled the ear right up to the door of the emergency room (急诊室). At my birthday parties, Dad seemed to be busy blowing up balloons, setting up tables and taking some photos all the time. It was Morn who brought the cake with the candles on it for me to blow out. I remembered when Mom told him to teach me how to ride a bicycle. I told him not to let go, but he said it was time. I fell and Mom ran to pick me up, but he waved her off. I was so mad, and I showed him. I got right back on that bike and rode it myself. He didn't even feel embarrassed, he just smiled. When I went to college, Mom did all the writing. He just sent bills and a little note about how great his lawn(草坪) looked now but I wasn't playing football on it. Whenever I called home, he acted like he wanted to talk, but he always said, “I'll get your mother.” All my life he said, “Where are you going? What time are you coming home? No, you can't go.” Daddy just doesn't know how to show love. Is it possible he showed it and I didn't realize it? 26. The text mainly tells us about .

Conflict(冲突) is a normal part of life, but it can be hard for parents and teenagers to discuss problems. These discussions can make both parents and kids angry and impatient. How can parents communicate with teenagers about problems? When you try to solve(解决) problems with your kids, you can talk to them using "I" messages or "You" messages. For example, let's say that 17-year-old Amy comes home late in the night. Here's what her mom could say: ● "You" message: Mom: You are late again ! You should be home on time. What were you thinking? Amy: Leave me alone, mom! You are always shouting at me! ● "I" message: Mom: When you come home late, I get worried because I'm afraid something has happened to you. Amy: I didn't realize how worried you get. "You" messages blame(责备 ) kids and can make them defensive(防御的 ) or angry, so kids probably have no interest in solving the problem. But "I" messages describe problems and let kids know that you trust them and believe they can help you solve the problem. An "I" message includes descriptions of the problem behavior, your feelings about the behavior and the effect of the behavior. For example, let's say that Jerry and his younger brother Jason are fighting in the car and disturbing their dad who is driving. To solve the problem, using an "I" message, dad could say, "When you two fight in the back of the car, I get worried about driving safely because your fighting is so distracting(分散注意力的). Please be quiet!" 30. What does the underlined phrase "see eye-to-eye" mean? A. Trust someone B. Face the fact together C. See each other D. Have the same opinion 31. We can infer that . A. parents and teenagers often reach an agreement in life B. the way parents communicate with teenagers is important C. "You" messages aren't used because they only express a feeling D. "I" messages can make listeners feel worried about the problem 32. According to what the dad said, what is the description of feelings? A. You two fight in the car B. Please be quiet! C. I get worried about driving D. Drive safely 33. The main purpose of this passage is . A. to help parents communicate with teenagers about problems B. to show us what messages are popular with kids and parents C. to explain why many parents can't solve family problems D. to tell us how to discuss problems with parents and teenagers I A man came home from work late, tired, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door. “Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?” “If you must know, I make $20 an hour.” “Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down. He thought for a moment, looked up and said, “Daddy, could you lend me $10?” The father was furious, “If you asked for the money to buy a toy or some other rubbish, then go straight to your room and think about why you are being so selfish(自私的)!” The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. After about an hour, the father calmed down, and started to think, “Maybe he really needs to buy something and he didn't really ask for money very often.” So he went to the little boy's room. “Sorry! Maybe I was too hard on you just now.” said the man, “Here's $10.” “Oh, thank you, Daddy!” he said happily. Then, the boy took out some coins. When the father found that the boy already had money, he got angry again. “Why do you want more money since you already have some?” the father shouted angrily. “Because I didn't have enough, but now I do.” The little boy replied, “Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.” 34. How much does the boy's father make an hour? A. $10 B. $20 C. $30 35. In this passage, the underlined word “furious”means . A. very angry B. quite happy C. too excited 36. At first,the father refused to lend the boy any money because . A. he thought the boy wanted to keep the money for himself B. he thought the boy would buy something of no use C. the boy always borrowed money from him 37. The boy wanted to buy with twenty dollars. A. a new book for himself B. a nice present for his father C. an hour of his father's time 38. From the passage, we can infer(推断) that the boy's father . A. often played with his son B. spent little time with his son C. often came back home early J A great many people, when they speak of home, tend to connect it with a certain atmosphere, certain physical surroundings( 环 境 ), and certain emotional attitudes within themselves. This sentimentality(多愁善感) toward home is something that has come down to us from the past. Many modern people do not have it, and I think it is a good thing that they do not. In the old days, life was difficult. Enemies could attack you and kill or rob you, and you had little protection against them. People did not live in well-built houses where doors could be locked. They did not have the protection of an organized police force or telephones which could call the police instantly. How did this influence the way people felt about home? Small family groups clung(贴近) tightly together for protection against beasts and against other men. Today, thanks to modern transportation and well-organized society, thousands of people willingly and eagerly leave the surroundings where they were born, and the oftener they do so, the less sentiment they are likely to have for those surroundings. I lived in England for three years, and I noticed that boys and girls left their parents' homes and lived in places of their own. There they could just telephone and ask an agency to provide them with a house or an apartment, which was their home. How has the meaning of this word “home” been changed by such activity? What does home mean to those people or to families who often move about, living in first one hotel and then another? I believe that for them home means a place where they can have privacy. As for me, the atmosphere and surroundings of the place where my parents live have no sentimental attachment(依恋). Home is where I can shut the door and be by myself. When I left my parents several years ago, I was anxious to leave. You might call it unfeeling, but that was the way I felt. On the day of my departure for the United States, my grandmother cried. My father, however, showed that he knew how I felt. "Son," he said, "I am not sorry that you are leaving us. I only hope that you make the most of your time." 39. Why are modern people willing to leave their parents' homes? A. Because they can afford the money to live outside B. Because there are no wild animals or enemies around C. Because the society provides them with the feeling of safety D. Because they are not actually satisfied with their environment 40. What can we learn from the article? A. Surroundings influence the way that people act B. Not many modern people have sentimentality toward home C. Rights to privacy are well protected in modern society D. Older people can hardly understand the leaving of the young 41. What is the best title for the passage? A. The History of Home B. People and Home C. Different Ideas of Home D. Ideas of Home Have Changed K Parents are the closest people to you in the world. They love you just because you are you. And they would do anything for you.

She said to herself, "I was worried about Tom's being in the same school as me this year. I've just realized, though, that he won't be in my hallway! We won't eat lunch at the same time, either, so he can't bother me!" The first day of school, mom asked Rosa to walk Tom to his class. Rosa begged not to do it. She did not want to be seen with kindergarten(幼儿园) kids! On the second day of school, Rosa was in the classroom when she saw the kindergarten teacher at the door. She looked worried. "Rosa, Tom is having a bad day. I thought you could help." In the kindergarten classroom, Rosa saw Tom with his head down on his little desk. Tom looked up at his sister. His cheeks were marked with tears. He threw his arms around her neck. "Don't tell mom," he cried, "She thinks I'm a big boy now." Rosa suddenly remembered how she felt when she started kindergarten. Rosa always carried a small worry rock in her pocket. When she became afraid, worried, or nervous, she simply rubbed the smooth little stone to calm her fears. She took out her worry rock and placed it in Tom's hand. "This is for you," she said, "Whenever I am worried, I rub this rock and I feel better. Why don't you try it? Remember I'm not far away."

It was a bad fall. I landed on a piece of glass that cut my eye badly. From then on, my injured, sightless, cloudy gray eye lived on with me. Sometimes people asked me embarrassing(使人难堪的) questions. Whenever kids played games, I was the "monster". I was always imagining that everyone looked down on (瞧不起) me. Yet mum would say to me, "Hold your head up high and face the world." I began to depend on that saying. As a child, I thought mum meant, "Be careful, or you will fall down or bump into something because you are not looking." As a teenager, I usually looked down to hide my shame. But I found that when I held my head up high, people liked me. In high school I even became the class president, but on the inside I still felt like a monster. All I really wanted was to look like everyone else. When things got really bad, I would cry to my mum and she would look at me with loving eyes and say, "Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them see the beauty that is inside instead of your appearance(外貌)." My mum's love was the sunshine that made me bright. I had faced hard times, and learned not only to be confident(自信的) but also to have deep compassion(同情) for others. "Hold your head up high" has been heard many times in my home.

When the baby was in her arms, she couldn't believe her eyes. The baby was born without ears. Time proved that the baby's hearing was perfect though he had no ears. He got on well with his classmates. But one day, he said to his mother, tears in his eyes, "A big boy called me a freak(畸形 物)." The boy's father asked the family doctor, "Could nothing be done? " "I believe I could graft(植入 ) on a pair of outer ears if they could be gotten," the doctor said. They tried to find a person who would be helpful for the young man. One day, his father said to the son, "You're going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But we must keep it a secret who the person is." The operation was a great success, and a new person appeared. His cleverness and hard work made him a very successful person. He married and lived a happy life. He would ask his father, "Who gave me the ears? I could do enough for him or her." "I do not believe you could," said the father. "The agreement was that you are not to know…not yet."

Her husband has been dead for ten years and she is used to shopping for her son. He is in the third year in high school which means that he will be entering college in about one year. Then she will only be shopping for herself. She feels sad when she thinks of this. She hopes that he will choose a local college. That way he can continue to live at home for another two years. She loves him, and fears the day when he will no longer be with her. One day, Maria drove to Costco, a store that sells food in bulk(批发) packages so that shoppers can save money. She parked her car far from the entrance. That meant a longer walk, but also a faster way to leave the parking lot(停车场). She got one of the big shopping trolley(手推车) outside and pushed it into the store. Surprisingly, the store wasn't so crowded. In the fruit part she looked through nine packages of green grapes before she found one that she liked. She carefully picked out some bananas, apples, and other fruits, but she couldn't find her son's favourite type of oranges. On the way home, she planned to stop at another market or two until she found them. Although Maria lives a hard life, she loves her son very much. 61. Which of the following is NOT true about Costco?

A. Maria went to Costco to buy fruit for his son B. Maria's son liked grapes best C. oranges were Maria's favourite fruit D. Maria went on looking for her son's favourite fruit 64. The best title for the passage would be A. A Mother's Love for Her Son B. A Mother's Hard life C. A Mother's Shopping Experience D. A Mother's Worry About Her Son's Leaving Q Having a husband means an extra seven hours of housework each week for women, according to a new study. For men, getting married saves an hour of housework a week. “It's a well-known pattern(模式 ),” said lead researcher Frank Stafford at University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research. “Men usually work more outside the home, while women do more of the housework.” He points out that there are differences among families. But in general, marriage means more housework for women and less for men. “And the situation gets worse for women when they have children,” Stafford said. Overall, times are changing in the American home. In 1976, women busied themselves with 26 weekly hours of sweeping-and-dusting work, compared with 17 hours in 2005. Men are doing more housework, more than doubling their housework hours from six in 1976 to 13 in 2005. Single(单身) women in their 20s and 30s did the least housework, about 12 weekly hours, while married women in their 60s and 70s did the most---about 21 hours a week. Men showed a different pattern, with older men picking up the broom more often than younger men. Single men worked the hardest around the house, more than that of all other age groups of married men. Having children increases housework even further. With more than three children, for example, wives do more of the extra work, clocking about 28 hours a week compared with husbands'10 hours. 65. According to the “well-known pattern” in Paragraph 1, a married man . A. does heavier work B. does more housework C. is the main person who supports the family D. is the owner of the house 66. What kind of man is doing most housework according to the text? A. An unmarried man B. An older married man C. A younger married man D. A married man with children 67. What can we conclude from Stafford's research? A. Marriage gives men more spare time B. Marriage has effects on job choices C. Housework sharing changes over time D. Having children means doubled housework R Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12, a white gardenia(栀子花) was sent to my house. It did not come with a card or note of any kind, but I loved the beauty and sweet smell of the flower. And I never stopped imaging who the giver might be. My mother helped me to imagine. She'd ask me if I had done something kind for anyone. Perhaps the neighbor I'd helped carry heavy bags for, or one of my classmates who I helped the lessons with. As a teenager, though, I had more fun thinking that it might be a boy I liked at school. When I was 17, a boy broke my heart and I cried myself to sleep. When I woke up in the morning, there was a message on my mirror, "If we let sadness go, happiness will surely come to you." I thought about those words for a long time. When I finally went to get the glass cleaner, my mother knew everything was all right again. One month before I finished high school, my father left us forever. I lost interest in all the celebrating activities such as the class play, taking photos with classmates before leaving the high school where I had studied for three years. Although my mother was very sad, she still encouraged me to take part in all those. She wanted her child to have a sense that there was still beauty in the face of bad luck, just like the gardenia—lovely, strong and perfect. My mother died 10 days after I was married. I was 26. That was the year gardenias stopped coming. 68. From the age of , the writer began to receive a gardenia every year on her birthday. A. 17 B. 12 C. 26 D. 10 69.

A. mother's love B. the writer's bad luck C. teenagers' problems while growing up D. how to pace difficulties S Since last year, "Where Are We Going, Dad?" has become the most popular TV shows. On the show, the five fathers and their children traveled around China, riding camels through the western deserts, fishing on the east coast, and selling vegetables for their bus fare(费用) home in southwestern Yunnan province. One dad doesn't know how to do his daughter's hair, so some people try to help him. Another one must survive(生存) with his son for three days in the desert, because the father can't cook, they only eat instant noodles (方便面). Why is "Where Are We Going, Dad?" so popular? Because it is about how Chinese parents look after their kids. The show makes modern parents think about what they should do with their kids. "In traditional Chinese culture, the father is strict and the mother is kind. But on the show, we see fathers who are much gentle on their kids and more involved(参与) in their upbringing(成长)." said Li Minyi, a professor of early childhood education. In the past, children were taught to obey their parents' wishes and look after them in their old age. But today Chinese parents increasingly realize that respecting their children's choices may be a better way to prepare them for modern society. As they raise their children, parents are growing up at the same time. 73. According to the passage, what didn't the fathers and their children do on the show? A. Rode camels. B. Sold vegetables. C.

Fathers are much gentle on their kids on the show. B. Children were told to obey their parents' wishes in the past. C. Parents can also learn something when they raise their children. D. In traditional Chinese culture, parents are both strict with their kids. T Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here is some advice for you to avoid the generation gap. Don't argue with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't think of your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter. Try to reach a compromise(和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michal's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove in on some days. Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why understanding your values might help them see your meanings of life. A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. Just have a try! 78. The passage tells us have a communication problem. A. only parents and school kids B. teachers and students C. parents and neighbors D. parents and children of all ages 79.
