2.they have to study hard bocause of the force from their parents and teachers
3.他们没有必要全身心投入学习而放弃运动锻炼和兴趣爱好

Babies love chocolate and sometimes they also eat the paper around it. My cat enjoys a meal of good, thick paper, old letters, for example. She does not like newspapers very much

Of course, the best paper comes from wood. Wood comes from trees, and trees are plants. Vegetables and fruit are plants, too, and we eat a lot of them. So can we also eat wood and paper? Scientists say, "All food comes in some way from plants." Well, is that true? Animals eat grass and grow fat. Then we eat their meat. Little fish eat little sea-plants, then bigger fish swim along and eat the ……Chickens eat bits of grass and give us…… Think for a minute. What food does not come from plants in some way?

Scientists can do wonderful things with plants. They can make food just like meat and cheese. And they can make it without the help of animals. It is very good food, too. Now they have begun to say, "We make our paper from wood. We can also make food from wood. The next thing is not very difficult." What is the next thing? Perhaps it is—food from paper. Scientists say, "We can turn paper into food. It will be good, cheap food, too, cheaper than meat or fish or eggs."

So please keep your old books and letters. (Don't feed [喂] your cat.) One day, they will be on your plate, if what scientists say may come true. 1. The writer asks us to keep our old books and letters because _______. A. they are useful for reading B. They may be used to feed cats C. We can make food from them soon

D. we can read them at breakfast

In England recently three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop and waited . About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way . Someone shouted at them. The bus conctor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners seem all at sea and looked embarrassed (窘迫的 . No one had told them about the British custom (习惯)of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus .

Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty .

In that country, you shake your head to mean 'yes'— a nod means 'no' . At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as soon as you drink up . If you think that you have had enough , you should take the cup or glasses in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.

In Europe it quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring about trouble . Also, you should try to avoid (避免)touching the head of an alt (成人) ——it's just not done in Thailand .

1. The British people tried to push the three gentlemen out of the way, because the gentlemen _________ .

A. were foreigners C. made a loud noise B. didn't have tickets D. didn't line up for the bus

2. According to the article, if you want to have a pleasant journey in a foreign country, you should _________.

A. learn the language of the country B. understand the manners and customs of the country C. have enough time and money D. make friends with the people there

3. In India it is considered impolite ___________.

A. to use the right hand for passing food at table. B. to pass food with the left hand.

C. to eat food with your hands. D. to help yourself at table.

4. To cross one's legs at an important meeting in Europe is _______.

A. a common (平常的) habit

B. an important manner

C. a serious (严重的) trouble

D. a bad manner

5. The best title (题目) for this article is ________.

A. People's Everyday Life

B. Mind Your Manners C. Shaking and Nodding Head

D. Taking a Bus in England

参考答案 答案及解析：

1.D。这是一道句子理解题，也可以看成细节题。在第一自然段的最后，有这样的句子： No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at a bus stop is the first person to get on the bus.从此句可知那三位先生并不知道在英国乘车的习惯，所以答案是D。

2. B。这是一道细节题。答案在第二自然段的第二个句子。

3.B。同第二题一样，此题也是细节题。可在第二自然段直接找到答案。

4.A。单句理解题。最后一个自然段中有说：In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs When you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting.这个句子的意思是：在欧洲，开会时翘二郎腿是很常见的。这说明许多人有这样的习惯，所以答案应该是A。

5.B。通读全文就会发现，只学习一门外语是不够的，还要多了解该国的`风俗习惯，否则就会遇到麻烦，所以答案是B。

Most people want to be successful in life, but success can comeabout in four ways: fame, money, knowledge, and pleasure. Success isalso usually characterized by the word more; to be successful, peoplefeel they have to be more famous, have more money, absorb moreinformation, or enjoy life more.

When Julia Somberg eats her favorite food, she feels bad. She knows that chocolate can have a lot fat and sugar. But Julia says she loves chocolate so much---once she starts eating it, she can’t stop.
Julia isn’t the only one who loves chocolate. It is a favorite food for people all over the world. People prefer chocolate over ice cream, cake, and cookies.
The idea of eating chocolate didn’t begin until the 19th century. Before that, people drank chocolate. The habit began in Central American where the Aztecs drank bowls of chocolate to stay watchful. When the liquid(液体) chocolate was brought to Spain in the 1500s, people thought it was medicine because it had a medicine taste. In fact, the people who made chocolate into drinks were doctors.
Then people discovered that mixing chocolate with sugar made a wonderful drink. King Ferdinand of Spain loved this drink so much that he put out an order: anyone who talked about chocolate outside the court(法庭)would be killed. For about 100 years, chocolate was a secret in Spain.
Finally, people found out about chocolate, and it became a popular drink in Europe. Later, the Swiss mixed milk and chocolate. Today, most Americans prefer milk chocolate, while most Europeans prefer dark chocolate.
New research shows that chocolate is actually good for us.“Chocolate has different kinds of vitamins,” says a researcher in France. “It has more than 300 different chemicals. One chemical works on the part of the brain(大脑) that feels pleasure. People who feel good when they eat chocolate are actually healthier. Feeling pleasure is important for health and can protect against illness.” “Good chocolate doesn’t have much fat or sugar. You can enjoy it if you eat a little at a time!” says Tara Berish, another chocolate lover.
76.______Doctors made chocolate into drinks.
__1__ The Aztecs drank chocolate to stay watchful.

年纪轻轻成为父母好吗 Are Young Parents Good

When students graate from college and their parents start to worry about their future. The parents always want their kids to marry soon, so that they can be the grandparents. Nowadays, some students choose to marry and be the young parents. But I don’t think it is a good idea.

Once they can’t find a way to solve, they will have the idea to be apart. Young couples are reckless, it is not the perfect time for them to be parents.

一方面,年轻的父母并不成熟。据报道,最高的离婚率会发生在年轻夫妇,因为他们很容易会因为小事情而吵架。一旦他们找不到数芹方法来解决,就会分开。年轻夫妇是做事情不计后果,他们薯局毕还没到成为父母的时候。

另一方面,他们年轻,没有照顾孩子的经验。当孩子们出现一些问题,他们不知道如何处理,容易恐慌。了解如何抚养一个孩子然后以正确的方式教育他们是很重要的。

It is better for the young people to fight for their future and when they get mature, they can be the qualified parents.

年轻人最好先为他们的未来而奋斗,当变得成熟时,他们可以成为合格的父母。

幸福的意义 The Meaning of Happiness

“What the happiness is” is the question that we are always asked. People hold different opinion as they experience the different life. For some people, they believe that happiness is to own the great success in career and earn a lot of money. For another people believe that doing what they want is the biggest happiness. In my opnion, I agree with the latter.

“什么是幸福”，我们总会被问到这样的问题。人们持有不同的意见,因为他们体验著不同的人生。对于一些人来说,他们认为幸福是拥有成功的事业,赚很多钱。另一些人相信做他们想要的就是最大的幸福。在我看来,我同意后者的观点。

It is very lucky to live the life we want and enjoy the things we do. For some very successful busines *** en, they are busy all the day, travelling through different cities to talk about the projects. When they have time at midnight, they always feel lonely deep in their hearts and wonder about what they are doing these for.

能过我们想要的生活,享受我们所做的事情是非常幸运的。对于一些非常成功的商人来说,他们整天忙碌,穿梭于不同的城市之间来谈专案。当他们在午夜闲下来的时候,他们总是感到孤独在内心深处,想知道自己做的是为了什么。

While for some ordinary people who can slow down the life pace and enjoy the life, they know the meaning of happiness. They put their family in the first place and cherish the time spend with them. Life is short, they know exactly what they want and don’t want to waste the time on vanity fair.

而对于一些普通的人来说，他们可以放慢生活节奏,享受生活,知道幸福的含义。他们把家庭放在第一位, 珍惜与家人在一起的日子。生命是短暂的,他们知道自己想要什么,不想浪费时间在名利场上。

The meaning of happiness es from the moment and the things we enjoy.

幸福的意义来自于我们享受的时刻和喜欢的东西。

如何对待残疾人 How to Treat Disabled People

When we take the bus, it has been a rule that the seats are first preoccupied by the old, the disabled and the pregnant. Most people respect the rules, while some people are refused to do it, because they think there is no law to regulate that we must take the seat for others. The disabled people are special part, we should be considerate.

当我们搭公车的时候，有这么一条规则，座位优先给老人、残疾人和孕妇坐。大部分人尊重这规则，然而一些人拒绝这样做，因为他们觉得没有哪条规则规定我们必须要给人让座。残疾人是特殊的群体，我们应该体谅点。

Disabled people are special part in the society. paring to the ordinary people, they look a little different, they don’t have the perfect outlook, which makes them distinct among the crowd. Such situation makes them very awkward, they don’t want people stare at them, they just want to be the ordinary one.

残疾人在社会上是特殊的群体。和普通人相比，他们看起来有点不一样，他们没有完美的外表，这让他们在人群中突出。这样的情形让他们有点尴尬，他们不想要人们盯着他们，只是想要成为普通的一员。

We should respect and take care of the disabled people. We should not treat them as the special ones, they are equal with us, though they don’t have the perfect outlook, in their hearts, they are just as tough as us. So we should not separate them, just make friends with them.

我们应该尊重和照顾残疾人。我们不应该特殊对待他们，他们和我们一样平等，虽然他们没有完美的外表，但是在他们心里，他们和我们一样的坚强。所以我们不应该隔离他们，应该和他们做朋友。

More and more people have realized the disabled people are ordinary, we should show our love and respect to them.

越来越多的人已经意识到残疾人也是普通人，我们应该向他们展示我们的爱和尊重。

双语美文：爱要及时说出口【1】

There was once a guy who suffered from cancer, a cancer that can't be cured. He was 18 years old and he could die anytime. All his life, he was stuck in his house being taken cared by his mother. He never went outside but he was sick of staying home and wanted to go out for once. So he asked his mother and she gave him permission.

曾有一男孩，患了不治之癌。他才18岁，但生命随时会结束。一直以来，男孩都被困在屋子里，由他的母亲照料。男孩从未出去过，但他厌倦了一直窝在家里，想出去走一走。男孩因此询问他的母亲，并得到了母亲的同意。

He walked down his block and found a lot of stores. He passed a CD store and looked through the front door for a second as he walked. He stopped and went back to look into the store. He saw a beautiful girl about his age and he knew it was love at first sight. He opened the door and walked in, not looking at anything else but her. He walked closer and closer until he was finally at the front desk where she sat.

男孩出了门，路过了许多家店。经过一家卖CD的音像店时他看了眼前门。男孩停了下来，并走回去又往店里看了看。他看见一个漂亮的女孩，年龄大约和他一般大。男孩意识到他一眼就爱上了这女孩。他打开了这家店的门，走了进去，什么也不看，就只看着她。男孩越走越近，直到来到这女孩坐着的前台。

She looked up and asked, "Can I help you?"

女孩抬起头来问道：“有什么需要帮忙的吗？”

She smiled and he thought it was the most beautiful smile he has ever seen before and wanted to kiss her right there.

女孩笑了笑，男孩认为这是他见过的最美丽的笑容，他甚至想当场就亲吻这女孩。

He said, "Uh... Yeah... Umm... I would like to buy a CD."

他说道：“呃…是的…嗯…我想买张CD。”

He picked one out and gave her money for it.

男孩随便挑了一张出来并把钱递给女孩。

"Would you like me to wrap it for you?" she asked, smiling her cute smile again.“

He nodded and she went to the back. She came back with the wrapped CD and gave it to him. He took it and walked out of the store.

男孩点了点头，女孩走到前台的后面。回来的时候女孩拿着包装好了的CD，交给了男孩。他拿了过来，然后走出了这家店。

He went home and from then on, he went to that store every day and bought a CD, and she wrapped it for him. He took the CD home and put it in his closet. He was still too shy to ask her out and he really wanted to but he couldn't. His mother found out about this and told him to just ask her. So the next day, he took all his courage and went to the store as usual. He bought a CD like he did every day and once again she went to the back of the store and came back with it wrapped. He took it and when she wasn't looking, he left his phone number on the desk and ran out...

男孩回到了家。从那以后，他每天都会来这家店，买一张CD，然后女孩就给他包装起来。男孩把CD带回家，放进他的衣橱里。他还是很害羞，不敢把她约出来。他真的'很想，但是他做不到。男孩的母亲知道了此事后，就告诉他，只管把她约出来就好了。于是第二天，男孩鼓起了全部的勇气，像往常一样来到了店里。像过去那样，他还是买了一张CD，而女孩也还是走到后面，回来的时候再把包装好的CD交给他。男孩接了过来，趁女孩不注意，他把他的电话号码留在了桌子上，然后跑了出去…

The line was quiet except for the cries of the boy's mother. Later in the day, the mother went into the boy's room because she wanted to remember him. She thought she would start by looking at his clothes. So she opened the closet.

电话里安静了下来，只听到男孩母亲啜泣的声音。之后，男孩的母亲来到了他的房间，缅怀她的儿子。男孩的母亲想先看一看男孩的衣物。于是她打开了男孩的衣柜。

She was face to face with piles and piles and piles of unopened CDs. She was surprised to find all these CDs and she picked one up and sat down on the bed and she started to open one. Inside, there was a CD and as she took it out of the wrapper, out fell a piece of paper. The mother picked it up and started to read it. It said: Hi... I think U R really cute. Do u wanna go out with me? Love, Jocelyn.

在她的面前，是一摞又一摞的CD。看到这么多的CD，男孩的母亲感到很惊讶。她随手拿出一张，坐在了男孩床上。她拆开了包装，把CD拿了出来。一张纸条掉了出来。男孩的母亲捡起了纸条，开始读起来。上面写着：你好…我觉得你真的很可爱。你想和我出去约会吗？爱你的，乔瑟琳。

双语美文：觉得世界不好？那你够好吗？【4】

I was running a few errands in my car the other day. The sun was out, the radio was playing, and I was singing along. The song was a joyful one and even my weak voice sounded good singing it. Then it happened, however. The sweet sound of the music ended and was replaced with the dreaded news break.

前几天我在自己的车子里处理一些事情，太阳出来了，收音机播放着，我跟着里面唱起歌来，歌曲的旋律欢快，我五音不全也能唱好。突然优美的音乐停止了，取而代之的是骇人听闻的一些消息。

I drove on while the announcer droned on. Gas prices were going higher again because of the competitive speculation on Wall Street. The race for the Presidency was getting nastier and nastier, Rioting had broken out when fans of a sports team had gone wild, celebrating their team’s championship.

我边开着车边听着广播，由于华尔街上的投机竞争导致油价的上涨，总统竞选变得越来越手段肮脏，粉丝在庆祝喜爱的运动队伍取得比赛胜利时候，发生了。

Finally, I could take no more and turned off the radio. Silence seemed preferable to listening to anything else about the crazy, competitive society we live in. I slowed down as I entered a local town and watched the people as I drove by.

最终我不堪忍受这些负面新闻之重而关掉了收音机。此刻的宁静比听那些令人糟心揭露社会疯狂、竞争新闻要好多了，我减速来的镇上，看经过的人来人往。

A tall muscular man was helping an elderly lady out of a car and helping her position her walker so she could go into a local store.

一个身材高大壮硕的男子正在帮一位行动不便老妇人，从车里出来并帮她安放好助步器，这样她就可以去当地的商店。

A smiling woman was tossing birdseed into her backyard while a dozen Robins flew down to enjoy the feast being laid out before them.

一位面带微笑的妇人，在她的后院给一群知更鸟投食，那些鸟儿可以大快朵颐。

A young man was walking along, carrying his two year old daughter safely in his arms. He tickled her gently when she pulled the hat off his head and they both laughed. I laughed too as I looked at all of this kindness. It felt like a glimpse of Heaven. The radio may have been off in my car, but in my heart I was still singing.

一位年轻的父亲走来，将他两岁的女儿搂在臂弯，看起来安全感十足。当女儿试图去拉他的帽子，他开始挠女儿痒痒，他们都开心的笑了。当看到生命中这些温暖美好的事情，我也笑了。尽管车里广播被我关了，但是我的心仿佛随着之前播放的歌曲，悠扬的唱了起来。

In truth, this world could use a little more kindness and a lot less competition. Kindness makes us all winners in this life. Kindness reminds us that we are all God’s Children. Kindness shows us that we don’t have to beat others in this world.

我所感到生命的真谛是，这个世界可以多一些美好，少一些竞争。带着善意让我们每个人都是赢家，让我们觉得自己是上帝之子，不需要打败这个世上的任何人。

We just have to love them. May all of your moments here then be full of kindness, love, and joy. And may your only competition be with yourself: to be the best possible you that you can be.

我们只要施与爱。愿生命的每一刻都平顺喜乐。愿我们永远都以超越自己为目标，成为更好的自己。

A man came home form work late, tired and found his 5 years old son waiting for him at the door. "Daddy,may I ask you a questIon ?" "Yeah, sure, what is it?" replied the man. "Daddy, how much do you make an hour? " " If you must know, I make $20 an hour."" Oh,"the little boy replied, with his head down, looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I please borrow $10" the father was furious, "If the only reason you askedthat is so you can borrow some moneyto buy a silly toy, then you go to bed." The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. After about an hour or so,the man had calmed down. And started to think. Maybe there was something he really neededto buy with that $10 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the iIttle boy's roomand opened the door."Are you asleep, son?" he asked. "no daddy," replied the boy. "I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier." said the man, "Here's the $10 you asked for." the little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you daddy!" he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry agaIn. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father. "Why do you want more money? Is you already have some ?" the father asked. "Because I didn't have enough, but now I do. "the little boy repiied, "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."

A mother, wishing to encourage her son's progress at the piano, bought tickets to a performance by the great Polish pianist Ignace Paderewski. When the evening arrived, they found their seats near the front of the concert hall and eyed the majestic Steinway waiting on the stage. Soon the mother found a friend to talk to, and the boy slipped away.
At eight o'clock, the lights in the auditorium began to dim, the spotlights came on, and only then did they notice the boy - up on the piano bench, innocently picking out "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." His mother gasped in shock and embarassment but, before she could retrieve her son, the master himself appeared on the stage and quickly moved to the keyboard.He whispered gently to the boy, "Don't quit. Keep playing." Leaning over, Paderewski reached down with his left hand and began filling in the bass part. Soon his right arm reached around the other side and improvised a delightful obligato. Together, the old master and the young novice held the crowd mesmerized with their blended and beautiful music.
In all our lives, we receive helping hands - some we notice, some we don't. Equally we ourselves have countless opportunites to provide helping hands - sometimes we would like our assistance to be noticed, sometimes we don't. Little of what we all achieve is without learning from others and without support from others and what we receive we should hand out.

The Father and His Sons
A FATHER had a family of sons who were perpetually quarreling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it. He next opened the faggot, took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into his sons' hands, upon which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words: "My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves , you will be broken as easily as these sticks."

A Boy and His Tree

A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it every day. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow… He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
Time went by…The little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree.
One day, the boy came back to the tree and looked sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy.“I am no longer a kid, I don’t play around trees anymore.” The boy replied, “I want toys. I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, but I don’t have money…but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.” The boy was so excited. He picked all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy didn’t come back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.
One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. “Come and play with me.” The tree said. “I don’t have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?” “Sorry, but I don’t have a house. But you can cut off my branches to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily.
The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy didn’t appear since then. The tree was again lonely and sad. One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted. “Come and play with me!” the tree said.“I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?” “Use my trunk to build the boat. You can sail and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and did not show up for a long time.
Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you anymore. No more apples for you.” the tree said. “ I don’t have teeth to bite.” The boy replied. “ No more trunk for you to climb on.” “I am too old for that now.” the boy said. “I really want to give you something…the only thing left is my dying roots.” The tree said with tears. “I don’t need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years.” The boy replied. “Good! Old tree roots are the best place to lean on and rest. Come here, please sit down with me and have a rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears…
This is a story of everyone. The tree is our parent. When we were young, we loved to play with Mom and Dad… When we grow up, we leave them, and only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble. No matter what, parents will always be there and give everything they could to make you happy. You may think that the boy is cruel to the tree but that's how all of us are treating our parents.

All you remember about your child being an infant is the incredible awe you felt about the precious miracle you created. You remember having plenty of time to bestow all your wisdom and knowledge. You thought your child would take all of your advice and make fewer mistakes, and be much smarter than you were. You wished for your child to hurry and grow up.

All you remember about your child being two is never using the restroom alone or getting to watch a movie without talking animals. You recall afternoons talking on the phone while crouching in the bedroom closet, and being convinced your child would be the first Ivy League college student to graate wearing pullovers at the ceremony. You remember worrying about the bag of M&M's melting in your pocket and ruining your good dress. You wished for your child to be more independent.

All you remember about your child being five is the first day of school and finally having the house to yourself. You remember joining the PTA and being elected president when you left a meeting to use the restroom. You remember being asked "Is Santa real?" and saying "yes" because he had to be for a little bit longer. You remember shaking the sofa cushions for loose change, so the toothfairy could come and take away your child's first lost tooth. You wished for your child to have all permanent teeth.

All you remember about your child being seven is the carpool schele. You learned to apply makeup in two minutes and brush your teeth in the rearview mirror because the only time you had to yourself was when you were stopped at red lights. You considered painting your car yellow and posting a "taxi" sign on the lawn next to the garage door. You remember people staring at you, the few times you were out of the car, because you kept flexing your foot and making acceleration noises. You wished for the day your child would learn how to drive.

All you remember about your child being ten is managing the school fund-raisers. You sold wrapping paper for paint, T-shirts for new furniture, and magazine subscriptions for shade trees in the school playground. You remember storing a hundred cases of candy bars in the garage to sell so the school band could get new uniforms, and how they melted together on an unseasonably warm spring afternoon. You wished your child would grow out of playing an instrument.

All you remember about your child being twelve is sitting in the stands ring baseball practice and hoping your child's team would strike out fast because you had more important things to do at home. The coach didn't understand how busy you were. You wished the baseball season would be over soon.

All you remember about your child being fourteen is being asked not to stop the car in front of the school in the morning. You had to drive two blocks further and unlock the doors without coming to a complete stop. You remember not getting to kiss your child goodbye or talking to him in front of his friends. You wished your child would be more mature.

All you remember about your child being sixteen is loud music and undecipherable lyrics screamed to a rhythmic beat. You wished for your child to grow up and leave home with the stereo.

All you remember about your child being eighteen is the day they were born and having all the time in the world.

And, as you walk through your quiet house, you wonder where they went and you wish your child hadn't grown up so fast.

当你的孩子是个婴儿时，你所记得的，是你对自己创造出的堪称完美奇迹的作品，感到不可思议的敬畏。你记得你有大量的时间去传授你所有的智慧和知识。你认为你的孩子将会接受你所有的忠告而少犯错误，将会比孩提时代的你聪明许多。你多希望你的孩子快快长大。

孩子两岁时，你所记得的，是从不能独自使用卫生间，从不看一部与动物无关的电影。你记得那些蜷缩在卧室储衣间跟朋友通电话的下午，深信你的孩子将是第一个身着套头衫出席毕业典礼的常春藤名牌大学毕业生。你记得你担心那袋M&M巧克力糖会在你的`衣兜里融化，毁了你体面的衣服。你多希望你的孩子更独立些。

孩子5岁时，你所记得的，是他上学第一天你终于独自拥有整个房子了。你记得参加家长—教师联系会，在你离开会议室去洗手间时，你当选为会长。你记得孩子问你“圣诞老人是真的吗?”你回答“是的”，因为他还需要你的肯定回答，尽管不久他就能自己判断了。你记得在沙发垫子下一通翻腾要找出些零钱，这样牙齿仙女就会来把你孩子掉的第一颗牙带走。你多希望孩子的牙都换成了恒牙。

孩子7岁时，你所记得的，是合伙用车的时间安排。你学会了在两分钟内化完妆，照着汽车后视镜刷牙，因为你能给你自己找出的时间就只有汽车停在红灯前的那小段。你想过把你的车子漆成黄色，并在车库门旁的草坪上立一个“出租车”的标志牌。你记得有几次你下车后，人们盯着你，因为你不断用脚踩油门加速，制造噪音。你多希望孩子有一天能学会开车。

孩子10岁时，你所记得的，是怎么组织学校的募捐者。你们为重新粉刷学校兜售包装纸，为购置新家具兜售体恤衫，为在学校操场上种植遮阳树劝人订阅各种杂志。你记得你在车库里存放了上百盒糖果等待出售，得到钱后学校的乐队就可以购置新制服，可是那些糖果竟在一个暖和得过头的春天的下午全都融化在一起了。你多希望孩子长大，不再演奏什么乐器了。

孩子12岁时，你所记得的，是孩子在体育场打棒球练习赛时，你坐在看台上希望你孩子所在的队很快三击不中出局，因为家里还有更重要的事等你去做。教练不明白你为什么那么忙。你多希望棒球赛季能尽快结束。

孩子14岁时，你所记得的，是他不让你早晨把汽车停在校门口。你不得不开过两个街区，车还没停稳就赶紧打开车门。你记得没能在他的朋友面前跟他吻别或说话。你多希望孩子能更成熟些。

孩子16岁时，你所记得的，是吵闹的音乐和以富有节奏的拍子尖声唱出的难以听懂的歌词。你多希望孩子快点长大成人，带着音响离开家吧。

孩子18岁时，你所记得的，是他们出生的那一天，拥有世间所有的时光。

当你在静静的房子里走来走去时，你纳闷他们去哪里了——你多希望孩子别这么快就长大了。

第二篇：勇气Courage

The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment; but it is no less a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy. A man does what he must----in spite of personal consequences， in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures----and that is the basis of all human morality.To be courageous…requires no exceptional qualifications， no magic formula， no special combination of time， place and circumstance. It is an opportunity that sooner or later is presented to us all. Politics merely furnishes one arena which imposes special tests of courage. In whatever arena of life one may meet the challenge of courage， whatever may be the sacrifices he faces if he follows his conscience----the loss of his friends， his fortune， his contentment， even the esteem of his fellow men----each man must decide for himself the course he will follow. The stories of past courage can define that ingredient----they can teach， they can offer hope， they can provide inspiration. But they cannot supply courage itself. For this each man must look into his own soul.

生活之中的勇气，通常不会像千钧一发时的勇气那样充满戏剧性;但他人不失为是一个胜利与悲剧的壮观组合。一个人将个人得失，障碍、危险还有压力抛在脑后，只是做他必须做的，而这便是人类一切道德的基础。勇敢，不需要突出的品质，不需要秘诀，不需要天时地利，每个人或早或晚都有机会。政治不过是对勇气进行特别考验的一个竞技场而已，在人生的每一个竞技场上勇气都会前来挑战。如果你跟随你的良心，那么任何东西都可能被牺牲：朋友，财产，满足，甚至是别人对你的尊重。走哪条路只能由自己来决定。前人的故事可以告诉你什么叫勇敢。他们能够教你，能够给你希望和灵感，但不能给你真正的勇气，要得到它你必须要发掘自己的灵魂。

初三英语阅读理解材料及答案

初三是中考英语的最后复习和冲刺阶段，为了帮助大家在初三备考中考英语，我整理了一些英语阅读理解，希望能对大家有所帮助!

英语阅读理解【1】

Some people may think too much sunlight can lead to cancer, so they always keep themselves away from sunlight. But experts believe that proper exposure(暴露) to sunlight is good for us.

For example, scientists think sunlight can help stop some diseases. They say that wearing sunscreen(防晒油) all the time makes the body short of vitamin D.

Vitamin D in fact stops us from more than 25 diseases and keeps bones and teeth healthy. However, around 60% of the population are short of vitamin D in their blood. One of the easiest ways to get it is to expose your skin to sunlight. Your body makes vitamin D from the sun faster than it takes in from food. What’s more, safely getting enough sunlight can make you look younger.

However, not everybody likes sunlight. Some people should not be exposed to the sun without a strong sun protection. Experts advise that just ten minutes of daily exposure to sunlight should be enough to give us vitamin D we need.

Perhaps you have heard a lot about the Internet, but what is it, do you know? The Internet is a network. It uses the telephone to join millions of computers together around the world.

Maybe that doesn’t sound very interesting. But when you’ve joined to the Internet, there are lots and lots of things you can do. You can send E-mails to your friends, and they can get them in a few seconds. You can also do with all kinds of information on the World Wide Web (WWW).

There are many different kinds of computers now. They all can be joined to the Internet. Most of them are small machines sitting on people’s desks at home, but there are still many others in schools, offices or large companies. These computers are owned by people and companies, but no one really owns the Internet itself.

There are lots of places for you to go into the Internet. For example, your school may have the Internet. You can use it ring lessons or free time. Libraries often have computers joined to the Internet. You are welcome to use it at only time.

Thanks to the Internet, the world is becoming smaller and smaller. It is possible for you to work at home with a computer in front, getting and sending the information you need. You can buy or sell whatever you want by the Internet. But do you know 98% of the information on the Internet is in English? So what will English be like tomorrow?

1. A。主旨题。文章的`每一段都谈到了 Internet，所以我们可以推断文章的主要内容是 Internet。

2. B。细节题。在第2段中谈到 You can send E-mail to your friends, and they can get them in a few seconds，相比其他选项，E-mail 当然是最快的。

3. C。细节题。最后一段的第2句讲到 It’s possible for you to work at home with a computer in front，所以明天我们极有可能 at home 工作了。

4. D。判断题。根据全文我们得知，我们可以在 school, libraries, home 等地方使用 Internet，所有的拥有者是大家，并不是某一个人或某一行业的从业者。

5. A。推断题。最后两句告诉我们：98% of the information on the Internet is in English，也就是说英语在 Internet的应用是非常广泛，非常重要的，除 A 选项外，没有一个选项能全部概括这句话的意思。

If you do not use your arm or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault(过错). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame(受责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised. So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: Practice remembering.
