阅读理解训练（5）A“It takes an entire village to raise a child.” Thats an old proverb(谚语) that is being quoted more and more often these days. And Im pleased about that.Today, more and more schools are reaching out to involve parents, community members and businesses to help shape a childs future.Parents need to be involved in their childrens education in many ways. Helping children with homework and studying, going on a field trip, teaching a craft or coaching a childs sports team are all great ways to be involved with your childs education. And dont forget to communicate with teachers-they need and respect your input. Studies show that children learn more and schools function better when parents and schools work together. Its important to stay in touch with your childs education all through his or her school career.Communities can help children create and achieve new goals. Help with homework, read to a child, coach a childrens team, or provide emotional support. Help solve problems and build self-esteem. Kids need role models and advisers can be role models by sharing their experiences and wisdom.Businesses can also help shape our childrens future. Invite a class from your local school to visit your workplace. You may be providing a glimpse that opens a new world of possibilities. Show students what goes on during a typical day. Give a mini course for students: how to use a computer; how products are made; how machinery works. You may have a developing electrician, teacher, nurse, or even a newspaper reporter on your hands.It really does take an entire village to raise a child.

In fact, all relationships need limits no matter whether they are friendships, sibling relations, mates/ lovers or business relations. On some level, all limit setting means saying no. However, it is usually a qualified “no” that says what, where, when, and under what conditions you will give or not give to another person. There are three points we should keep in mind about limit setting:1.Decide where to set the limits. Think about the entire situation. Consider your time, emotions, and means. Then consider whether you are helping the other person. Aim to do something to help the other person without taking on the whole problem.2.Express the limits clearly. For example, you say to your friend, “ I will lend you $20,000 no more than once every three months. And I expect you will pay me back within three months and certainly before you can borrow more.” You say to another friend, “you can stay here for three weeks but you must help me with expenses and cooking and make sure that you will find your own place before the three weeks is up”.3.Stick to your limits. You are not responsible for making the other person obey the limits. You are only responsible for following the limits yourself. Your friend has repaid $12,500 of his/her $20,000 and asks for $20,000 more. You say no. He/She gets emotional and then says, “I need this money to cover a bad check. If you cared for our friendship, you would do it”.Limit setting is often stressful and painful because people mistakes it for rejection. And limit setting certainly brings guilt. Bear in mind, it doesnt mean you have given up or quit loving your friend, lovers, or sibling. It does mean you are expressing that love in a different and more helpful (to both of you) manner.25. According to the passage, setting limits means_.A. refusing always to say yes to your friendB. saying no to your friend who turns to youC. making different kinds of friends D. breaking away from your friend26.Once you decide to set limits, you should_.A. announce it publicly to others B. tell your friend about it clearlyC. be responsible for your friend D. begin to help your friend27.We can learn from the last paragraph that limit setting_.A. is often misunderstood B. is actually a kind of rejectionC. does harm to your friendship D .contains both love and hate28. What would be the best title for the passage?A. About friendship B. How to make friendsC. Set limits with friends D. Show your love in a new way参考答案25-28 ABACCOne girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events. She always won the blue ribbons. Needless to say, she didnt feel threatened when I competed against her at the next show. She didnt need to. I came in next to last.The stinging memory of Beckys smirks made me determined to beat her. For the whole next month I woke up early every day and rode Cowboy five miles to the arena (赛马场). We practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk Cowboy home totally exhausted. All of our hard work didnt make me feel confident by the time the show came. I sat at the gate and sweated it out while I watched Becky and her horse charge through the course and finish in first place.My turn finally came. I put on my hat, rubbed Cowboys neck and entered the arena. At the signal, we dashed toward the first fence, jumped it without trouble and raced on to the next one.

When we were seated, my dad asked the waitress if there were any soldiers eating at the restaurant. Then waitress said there was a soldier having dinner with his friend. My dad told the waitress to tell the soldier and his friend that their dinner was paid for! He also said that he did not want to be known as the benefactor(施主).Then waitress later commented on my dads thoughtful behavior saying that she had never seen anything like this before. At a local college, she had studied opera and so she used this to thank my dad by performing a piece from The Pearl Fisherman. Her voice brought me to tears because it sounded perfect!After a while, the soldier appeared at our table (I dont know how he knew my dad paid the bill for him.) and said that he would be sent to the front the next morning and that he could not leave this country without saying “thanks” to my dad. My dad replied that it was he who wanted to say “thanks”.
