I was shocked. I mean, a whole minute? Every day? Get real. Once a week maybe. The fact is, many Asian males are terrible at kid-related things. In fact, I am one of them.Child-rearing (养育) doesnt come naturally to guys. My mother knew the names of our teachers, best friends and crushes. My dad was only vaguely aware there were short people sharing the apartment. My mother bought healthy fresh food at the market every day . My dad would only go shopping when there was nothing in the fridge except a jar of capers and a bay leaf. Then hed buy beer. My mother always knew the right questions to ask our teachers. My dad would ask my English teacher if she could get us a discount on school feesMy mother served kid food to kids. My dad added chili sauce to everything, including our baby food.The truth is , mothers have superpowers. My son fell off a wall once and hurt himself all over. I demanded someone bring me a computer so I could google what to do, My wife ignored me and did some sort of chanting phrase such as “Mummy kiss it better, ” and cured 17 separate injuries in less than 15 seconds.Yes, mothers are incredible people, but they are not always right, Yet honesty forces me to record the fact that mothers only know best 99.99 percent of the time. Here are some famous slip-ups.The mother of Bill Gates: “If youre going to drop out of college and hang out with your nerdy friends, dont come running to me when you find yourself penniless.” The mother of Albert Einstein: “When you grow up, youll find that sitting around thinking about the nature of time and space wont pay the grocery bills.” The mother of George W. Bush:“Youll never be like your dad, who became president of the United States and started his own war.”21. The tone for the writer to write the passage is _.

The last paragraph is mainly developed by _.A. providing different examples B. following the order of spaceC. making comparisons D. analyzing causes BMy left Foot (1989)Imagine being a prisoner of your own body, unable to make any movements except to move your left foot. The main character in My Left Foot, based on the real story of cerebral palsy（大脑性麻痹）sufferer Christy Brown, can barely move his mouth to speak, but by controlling his left foot, hes able to express himself as an artist and poet. For his moving performance of Brown, Daniel Lewis won his first Academy Award for best actor.Shine (1996)Do you have a talent youre afraid to share with the world? David Helfott seemed meant from childhood to be “one of the truly great pianists,” but the pressures of performing (and pleasing his father) resulted in a complete breakdown. Ten years in a mental institution didnt weaken Helfgotts musical gift: When he was rediscovered, he was playing concertos in bar. Shine received seven Oscar nominations (提名), and Geoffrey Rush won best actor for his performance of Helfgott.Life Is Beautiful (1997)Nothings more powerful than the love between a parent and a child. In this heartbreaking Italian film, a father (Roberto Benigni) makes an unbelievable sacrifice for his 4-year-old son: trapped in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945, the Jewish man convinces his boy that they are playing a complicated game. He manages to spare him the horror of the terrible war, and even in his final moments of life, keeps his son smiling and hopeful. Benigni won the best actor Oscar.Stand and Deliver (1988)Few people can inspire us more than a good teacher. Jaime Escalante (Edward James Olmos got Osacar nomination for best actor) is a great one. Employed at a high school where kids are expected to fail, Escalante challenges his math students to struggle for better things, like getting good grades in the AP exam. Despite the obstacles in their lives, the classmates accomplish their goals, thanks to Mr. Escalantes support.

The main characters are all sick to some degree but succeed.CMaybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father. “But, Dad, you cant be healthy if youre dead.”Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a fun, had forgotten to wear his safety belt a mistake 75% of the US people make every day. The big question is why. There have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common myths.Myth Number One: Its best to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident.Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear” is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are that youll have traveled through a windshield (档风玻璃) or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are “thrown clear.”Myth Number Two: Safety belts “Trap” people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in them.Myth Number Three: Safety belts arent needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour.Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters. 29. The reason why Father got home in a hurry was that he _.A. wasnt feeling every well B. wanted to take some exerciseC. hated to drive in the darkD. didnt want to be caught by the police30.

At that time my family lived a stones 45 from Ismails. And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and I was an Indian Hindu-we just 46 our differences.
