云南省玉溪市2014高考英语阅读理解二轮训练（9）及答案【2014高考英语四川省绵阳市二模试题】 i am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval (准允), he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way. several weeks ago, i was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. i kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. he sat but seconds later, as if he didnt even notice he was doing it, he got up again. i was getting frustrated (受挫), but then it hit me. i started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up. could he be more absorbed while standing up?this made me start questioning myself and what i had been raised to believe. i was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. this child would have the willpower to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life. now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of dna and personality qualities, and all you can do is loving and accepting them. as parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their way.i have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. we need to learn to accept our kids ways of doing things. some way may have worked for me but doesnt mean we need to carry it through generations. there is nothing sweeter than being personal and unique (独特的). it makes us free and happy and thats just the way i want my kids to live their own life. 47. time and again the author got his son seated in order to make him _.a. work fastb. go polite c. stay relaxedd. keep attentive48.

because the name always made my father laugh and gave my mother cause to look angrily at both of us-at me for being disrespectful of my elder and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior. as a young woman, my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large victorian farmhouse owned by fannie cratty. during those years my mother helped aunt fannie make the best blueberry jam ever tasted by anyone in glenfield. aunt fannie was well known for her jam and for never sharing the recipe with another living soul. even though my mother knew the recipe by heart, as long as aunt fannie was alive (and she lived to be ninety-six!), she never made the jam without ms. cratty in our kitchen to direct the process and preserve the secret. each august, when blueberry season would roll around, my mother would prepare me for aunt fannies visit. it was vital that i should be on my best behavior. after all, the woman was old, wealthy, very strict with children. whenever she was at the house, i didnt need to be reminded to guard my thoughts and watch my tongue.one year, after i had been particularly helpful with the jam process, aunt fannie gave me a quarter(25分硬币) and then made me promise that i would never spend it. “hold onto this quarter,” she said, “and someday you will be rich. i still have my very first quarter, given to me by my grandfather.” it had obviously worked for her. so, i kept the 1938-quarter into a small box, put it in my dresser drawer, and waited to become rich.i now have the blueberry jam recipe and the quarter from aunt fannie. in peoples eye aunt fannies success was due to that secret recipe. but to me, it was just a common recipe. neither has significantly contributed to my wealth, but i keep them as reminders to hold onto the valuable things in life. money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy. and that is a fortune that anyone can build. 51. paragraph 2 implies that my mother . a. used to forget the secret blueberry jam recipe b. wanted to show off her excellent cooking skills c. was unable to make the jam without aunt fannies

time in modern history, providing the public an unusually detailed look at who gets the opportunity to help shape american policy at the highest levels.“americans have a right to know whose voices are being heard in the policymaking process,” the president said in a written statement issued by the white house while he vacationed with his family at camp david. by the end of the year, the white house will begin posting online every month the names of the people who visited in the last 90 to 120 days. each persons full name will be listed, along with the date and time they entered and left and the name of the person they visited. about 70,000 to 100,000 people visit the white house each month, and the records will include tourists as well as people conducting business.the white house pointed out several exceptions to the policy: “purely personal guests” of the obama family; those cases in which the disclosure(透露) of visitors names “would threaten national safety interests”; and those who come for “particularly sensitive meetings,” like candidates for a supreme court nomination(提名). offic
