recently helped with an operation. she was tired. the storm and ice roads added to her tension. maybe she should turn the car around.“mom!” tony cried. “look !” just ahead a car had lost control on the patch of ice. as jenny tapped the brakes, the other car wildly rolled over; then crashed sideways into a telephone pole.jenny pulled over, stopped and threw open her door. thank goodness she knew her job well she might be able to help these unfortunate passengers. then she paused. what about tony? she couldnt take him with her. little boys shouldnt see scenes like that. but was it safe to leave him alone? what if their car were hit from behind? for a brief moment jenny considered going on her way.she asked tony to stay in the car and ran, slipping and sliding, toward the crash site. it

piano lessons for this accidentcthere is an old chinese proverb that states “one generation plants the trees; another gets the shade,” and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. the relationship between a mother and a daughter is sometimes confusing. the relationship can be similar to friendship. however, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. these characteristics include a hierarchy (等级) of responsibilities and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.marina, 27 years old, said, “i love spending time with my mom, but i wouldnt consider her my best friend. best friends dont pay for your wedding. best friends dont remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! best friends dont tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” this doesnt mean that the mother and daughter relationship cant be very close and satisfying. this generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common, which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions. today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of work and technology, which may bring them even closer together.best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if for some unfortunate reason they arent speaking. sometimes this is not an equal relationship. daughters dont always feel responsible for their mothers emotional well-being. but mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. the mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. mothers always “trump (胜过)” friends.61. what does the underlined word “preclude” in paragraph 1 probably mean?a. differ. b. benefit. c. prevent. d. change.62. what can we learn from what marina said?a. best friends will not spend money on her wedding.b. best friends will not remind her of important issues in life.c. her mother is wiser on account of her age.d. her mother is anything but her best friend.63. why can a mother and a daughter build a closer relationship?a. because they share advanced technology with each other.b. because they work together to support the whole family.c. because they experience the same values and traditions.d. because they have common experience in life and work.64. what do we know from the text?a. the mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.b. a mothers love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.c. marina has a troubled relationship with her mother.d. the mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friendship.65. what is the text mainly about?a. how to build a good mother and daughter relationship.b. a mother-daughter relationship is irreplaceable.c. mothers want to be daughters friends.d. a daughter is a mothers best friend.dnowadays, we live in a strict and judgmental world where people are quick to point out the faults of others and yet seem to ignore their own ones. some misguided souls believe they have a moral duty to help you be a better person telling you what a failure you really are.if youre the one placing criticism upon others, please stop. make a conscious decision, rather than focus on the negative aspect of a persons performance or attitudes, and you can offer helpful suggestions. if im painting a living room and making a mess in doing so, id have any husband say to me, “this is a tough job. can i offer a suggestion that might make it easier for you?” rather than have him point out what a careless painter i am.if youre on the receiving end of criticism, the “ok” response is a perfect solution. when someone comments negatively on a task youre doing, the natural response is to defend and attack. however, this approach is rarely effective as it puts both parties on the defensive. it diffuses (扩散)a potentially explosive situation. its important to keep calm and listen without feeling, to be an objective observer. there is much that one can learn from a negative review. you can ask yourself: could i have done better, and been more thoughtful? did i give 100% of myself to the task at hand? is there any truth in what the other person says? if so, how can i improve?in any event, one should remember the saying, “stop judging and you will not be judged. stop condemning and you will not be condemned.” one can learn to be “ok” with criticism and not allow it to negatively impact his or her relationship with the other party. let it go and that will be “ok”.66. according to the author, todays people_.a. ignore the mistakes of othersb. focus on how to handle mistakesc. like to point out the mistakes of othersd. have a moral duty to point out others faults67. in paragraph 2, the author uses the example to show_.a. pointing out a fault needs a skillb. its hard to avoid making mistakesc. we ought to accept others criticismd. praise is more important than criticism68. what is the proper response to criticism in the authors opinion?a. paying no attention to it b. learning something from it.c. making excuses for your mistakes. d. defending and attacking sometimes .69. why should you ask yourself some questions mentioned in paragraph 3?a. to comfort yourself. b. to find out your pote
