Why dont you fly out and meet me?”My father had just retired after 27years as a manager for IBM, His job filled his day, his thought, and his life. While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a freezing waterfall Peru. While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch, I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks.My father sees me drifting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps. He wants me to settle down, but now I want him to find an adventure.He agrees to travel with me through the national parks. We meet four weeks later in Rapid City.“What is our first stop?” asks my father.“What time is it?”“Still dont have a watch?”Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore. As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite (花岗岩), his mouth and eyes open slowly, like those of little boy.“Unbelievable,” he says, “How was this done?”A film in the information center shows sculptor Gutzon Borglum devoted 14 years to the sculpture and then left the final touches to his son.We stare up and I ask myself, would I ever devote my life to anything?No directions, no goals I always used to hear those words in my fathers voice. Now I hear them in my own.The next day were at Yellowstone National Park, where we have a picnic.“Did you ever travel with your dad? I ask.“Only once,” he says. “I never spoke much with my father. We loved each other-but never said it. Whatever he could give me, he gave.”The last sentenceits probably the same thing Id say about my father. And what Id want my child to say about me.In Glacier National Park, my father says, “Ive never seen water so blue.” I have, in several places of the world, I can keep traveling, I realizeand maybe a regular job wont be as dull as I feared.Weeks after our trip, I call my father. “The photos from the trip are wonderful,” he says.” We have got to take another trip like that sometime.I tell him Ive decided to settle down, and Im wearing a watch.24.We can learn from Paragraphs 2 and 3 that the father _.A. liked the authors collection of stampsB. was unhappy with the authors lifestyleC. got bored with his jobD. followed the fashion25. From the underlined paragraph, we can see that the author_.A. wants his children to learn from their grandfatherB. comes to understand what parental love meansC. learns how to communicate with his fatherD. hopes to give whatever he can to his father26.What could be the best title for the passage?A. Love Nature, Love LifeB. A Son Lost in AdventureC. A Journey with DadD. The Art of TravelCWhen youre a parent to a young child, you spend a lot of time talking about feelings: about having to share, about being disappointed because you may not have a cookie instead of broccoli (绿花椰菜), about the great injustice of a parent pressing the elevator button before the child has a chance to.And in a parenting culture thats increasingly concerned with centering childrens needs above all else, mothers and fathers have become skillful at talking about their kids feelings while masking their own. But new research suggests that parents who hide their negative emotions are doing their children, and themselves harm.A study published this month says that when parents put on a faux-happy (假开心) face for their kids, they do damage to their own sense of happiness and realness.For the average parent the findings suggest when they attempt to hide their negative emotion expression and overexpress their positive emotions with their children, it actually comes at a cost: doing so may lead parents to feel worse themselves, researcher Dr Emily Impett says.It makes sense that parents often fall back on expanding (扩大) the positivity for the sake of their childrenthere are a lot of things in the world we want to protect our kids from. But children are often smarter than we expect and are quite in tune with what the people closest to themtheir parentsare feeling. There was a time about a year or so ago, for example, when I received some bad news over the phone; I was home with my four-year-old and so I did my best to put on a brave face. She knew immediately something was wrong though, and was confused.When I finally let a few tears out and explained that Mom heard something sad about a friend, she was, of course, just fine. My daughter patted my shoulder, gave me a hug, and went back to playing. She felt better that she was able to help me, and the moment made a lot more sense to her emotionally than a smiling mom holding back sobs. I was glad that I could feel sad momentarily and not have to work hard to hide that.Relaying positive feelings to your children when you dont feel them is a move the researchers called high costthat it may seem like the most beneficial to your child at the time but that parents should find other ways of communicating emotions that allow them to feel true to themselves.But this is also about children seeing the world in a more honest way. While we will want to protect our children from things that arent age-appropriate or harmful, its better to raise a generation of kids who understand that moms and dads are people too.27.What is the typical behavior of parents when they bring up their children?A. Allowing their children chances to do things themselves.B. Hiding their true emotions from their children.C. Expressing their dissatisfaction with their children.D. Sharing their favorite food with their children.28.If parents put on a faux-happy face, _.A. their children will be protectedB. their children will be taken inC. they will suffer from worse feelingsD. they will feel happy as a result29.The author mentioned the example of her daughter to prove that_.A. children can often understand parents true feelingsB. children are not so clever as parents thinkC. its meaningful for parents to always look positiveD. its necessary to expose children to harmful things30.We can conclude from the passage that _.A. protecting children from age-inappropriate things is importantB. separation from negative feelings helps children see the world honestlyC. children will admire their parents more because of being protectedD. it makes sense for children to know their parent negative feelings第二节（共5个小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Everyone wants to perform well at school Add these tips to your life and you should be on your way to being a top student!
