But there were millions of them, which was why dad was so anxious to get rid of them. “Theyre totally destroying our beans, ”he told Mom over lunchtime one Saturday. “Ive been trying to keep them out of the tomatoes, but I dont know if I can make it. ”“Isnt there something you can do about them? ”Mom asked. She was mostly concerned about the tomatoes. “I think theres a spray(喷雾)or something, ”Dad said. “Im going down to the garden center after lunch and see if they have any suggestions. ”Im pretty sure thats what he said. But what I heard was, “While Im gone, why dont you and George come up with your own plan for getting rid of the grasshoppers? ”And so thats what we did. It was the summer between fifth and sixth grade, so we were feeling pretty clever and mature. Certainly we knew how to get rid of these grasshoppers. That seemed simple enough. Finally Ron and Don joined us but then, things got a little crazy. Before we knew it we were doing terrible experiments. I wont describe our experiments. Lets just call it“The Adventures of the Marquis de Orkin”. Dad came home and saw these different deaths. We were laughing, but the laughter quickly turned to silence when we saw the look on my Dads face. “What are you boys doing? ”he asked. “Were just sort of helping to get rid of the grasshoppers, ”I said. “This isnt getting rid of grasshoppers, ”Dad said. “This is killing. ”I was confused. I looked at the insecticide he was carrying. “But arent you going to kill grasshoppers with that? ”I asked. “Yes, because its something we need to do for the protection of our garden, ”he said seriously. “But Im not going to enjoy it. ”【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。作者家的菜园遭到蚂蚱的破坏, 天真的作者想帮助父亲除掉蚂蚱, 不想他和同伴使用的方法让父亲很生气, 父亲告诫他们: 不能杀生取乐, 要学会仁慈。1.

When you first talk with children, limit your discussion to the most important issues; children can become confused if they are given too much information at once.children need to hear that their basic needs will be met, that someone will still fix breakfast in the morning, help them with their homework. Children also need to know that their relationship with both parents will continue, if possible. In the face of so many changes, children also need to hear what will remain the same. Parents can make sure their children through words and actions that their love will continue despite the changes in family life. During these family discussions, it is important for parents to tell children that the divorce is final and avoid giving children false hopes that the parents will reunite. Parents can also use this time to tell children that the divorce is not their fault. Many children believe that the divorce is a result of something that they did. For instance, when asked why parents divorce, some children may explain that parents are divorcing because the children misbehaved or received bad grades in school. Remember to ask children about their fears and concerns. Give children time to think about the divorce and the changes ahead. Take your childrens questions and concerns seriously and listen to what they say. As stated by one child, “This is gonna affect the rest of my life and I dont know if they just dont realize that, or dont care, or what, but I dont feel like Im being heard.”Children need to know that parents recognize the impact of divorce on childrens lives. By listening to childrens thoughts and feelings about the divorce, parents show their ongoing care and concern. 1. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Talking with children about divorce. B. The relationship between children and parents. C. Dont blame your child for divorce. D. Showing more concern for your child. 2. If you first talk about your divorce with your son, . A. you can tell him the real reason why you couple parted B. you should say that you couple will remarryC. you may as well tell him you still love himD. you can avoid talking about your sorrow3. Faced with a broken-up family, . A. parents can provide numberless of reasonsB. parents can keep their relationship continuedC. parents should remove the worry of the childD. parents must be careful and cautious4. According to the passage parents divorce will. A. make children filled with guiltyC. result in childrens grades going downC. leave children lack self-confidenceD. cause children to be ill-tempered5. If you were such a parent, you should do the following EXCEPT. A. you should pay more attention to what your child talks aboutB. you must care whatever your child is thinking aboutC. you can blame the divorce on your partnerD. youd better keep regular touch with your child【参考答案】12. ACCAC This question comes up naturally in the first few weeks at home if a baby is crying a lot between feedings instead of sleeping peacefully. You pick him up and walk him around and he stops crying, at least for the time being. Lay him down, and he starts all over again. I dont think you need to worry much about spoiling in the first month or even the first 6 months. The chances are great that such a young baby is feeling miserable. If he stops crying when picked up, its probably because the warm pressure on his abdomen from being held make him forget his pain or tension. The answer to this question really depends on what lessons you think babies are learning in the first months of life. It is unlikely that they are capable of learning to expect their every wish to be attended to 24 hours a day. What infants are learning during this period is a sense of basic trust in the world. If their needs are met lovingly, they come to feel that the world is a place where good things generally happen and bad experiences are soon corrected. Psychologists use the term “secure attachment (依赖)” to talk about basic trust. A child who has a secure attachment to a parent or caregiver believes that parent will keep him safe and will provide for his pressing needs. Some parents worry that picking up babies right away will make them overly dependent. I like to tell these parents about a very important study on the effects picking up crying babies. Babies whose parents try to respond immediately to their crying actually cry less, and are more independent as preschoolers, compared to babies who were left to “cry it out”. 1. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Can an Infant Be Spoiled? B. Why Does an Infant Cry? C. How Do You Deal with an Infant? D. Shall an Infant Be Picked up? 2. The reason why an infant cries is that . A. he/she expects to be picked up B. he/she doesnt feel comfortableC. he/she plays a trick on purpose D. he/she is in great need of sleep3. What does the underlined word “abdomen” in the second paragraph mean? A. face B. arm C. stomach D. head4. If an infant is picked up when crying, . A. he/she will think the world is magic B. he/she will form a habit of dependence C. he/she will seek more help from others D. he/she will have a sense of basic trust5. The psychologists think that . A. caring an infant too much is bad for his/her healthB. you can never spoil your infant too much C. an infant being picked up will lead to laziness D. it is much better to leave a crying baby aside【参考答案】13. ABCDB 阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。Youve seen news reports about people who need help after a flood. Maybe youve walked past people who are sleeping on the streets. Or perhaps youve watched TV programs about how lonely older people can get. So what can you do about any of those things? The answer: You can volunteer (做志愿者).Volunteering is a great way to learn new skills from working as part of a team to setting and reaching goals. It gives you a chance to find out what kinds of things youre good at and enjoy the most. Volunteering can provide you with a sense of responsibility because people really depend on you. And it can help you understand disabled (残疾的) people, sick kids, or the elderly.Volunteering helps people feel they do have the power to change things for the better. When people depend on you, it can change the way you look at yourself, and this is the main reason that makes volunteering attractive. You can feel proud of the goals that youve achieved (实现) for a charity organization (慈善组织) whether its helping to organize a 10K to raise money for lung cancer or running the race itself.Sometimes its easy to feel worried about your grades or the fight you had with your friend or parents. And although these things are very important in their own way, sometimes it can be helpful to get some distance and think about other things.
