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, but then it hit me. i started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate (准确的) when he stood up. could he be more intent (专心的) 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 discipline (纪律) 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 traits (特点) 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 individual (个人的) and unique (独一无二的). it makes us free and happy and thats just the way i want my kids to live their own life.1at the beginning, the author tried to keep his son seated in order to make him _.a pay more attention to his study b keep silent in the roomc finish his homework on time d get right answers2inspired by the case of his son, the author began to doubt _.a the importance of parents b the old form of educationc the relationship between kids and their parents d the good grades of some kids3according to the passage, which of the following statements is right?a we should help kids correct their wrong ways.b parents should study their kids dnac kids should be taught to behave themselves.d parents should love and accept their kids.4which of the following would be the best title of the passage?a study hard and youll be successfulb be friendly to your childrenc childrens success in their own styled parents help with their childrens studybmore than 10 years ago, it was difficult to buy a tasty pineapple（菠萝）. the fruits that made it to the uk were green on the outside and, more often than not, hard with an unpleasant taste within. then in 1996, the del monte gold pineapple produced in hawaii first hit our shelves.the new type of pineapple looked more yellowy-gold than green. it was slightly softer on the outside and had a lot of juice inside. but the most important thing about this new type of pineapple was that it was twice as sweet as the hit-and-miss pineapples we had known. in no time, the del monte gold took the market by storm, rapidly becoming the worlds best-selling pineapple variety, and delivering natural levels of sweetness in the mouth, up until then only found in tinned pineapple.in nutrition(营养) it was all good news too. this nice-tasting pineapple contained four times more vitamin c(维生素c) than the old green variety. nutritionists said that it was not only full of vitamins, but also good against some diseases. people were understandably eager to be able to buy this wonderful fruit. the new type of pineapple was selling fast, and the del monte gold pineapple rapidly became a fixture in the shopping basket of the healthy eater.seeing the growing market for its winning pineapple, del monte tried to keep the market to itself. but other fruit companies developed similar pineapples. del monte turned to law for help, but failed. those companies argued successfully that del montes attempts to keep the golden pineapple for itself were just a way to knock them out of the market.5we learn from the text that the new type of pineapple is _. a green outside and sweet inside b good-looking outside and soft inside c yellowy-gold outside and hard inside d a little soft outside and sweet inside6why was the new type of pineapple selling well? a it was rich in nutrition and tasted nice. b it was less sweet and good for health. c it was developed by del monte. d it was used as medicine.7the underlined word “fixture” in paragraph 3 probably refers to something _. a that people enjoy eatingb that is always present cv. that is difficult to getd that
