Some say an instrument very much like a guitar was played in Egypt more than one thousand years ago. Some others say that an old form of the modem guitar was brought to Spain from Persia sometime in the 12 century. The guitar continued to develop in Spain. In the 1700s it became similar to the instrument we know today.‎ ‎　　Many famous musicians played the instrument. The famous musician Niccolo Paganinni played and wrote music for the guitar in the early 1800s. Franz Schubert used the guitar to write some of his famous works. In modem times Andres Segovia helped make the instrument extremely popular.‎ ‎　　One kind of music for the guitar developed in the southern area of Spain called Adalusia. It will always be strongly connected with the Spanish guitar.‎ ‎　　36. What is discussed about the guitar in Paragraph 1?‎ ‎　　A. Its history in America.‎ ‎　　B. Its value in the music world.‎ ‎　　C.

After the last thing was scanned, the clerk told the young mother the total.‎ ‎　　The young mother’s expression turned to embarrassment (尴尬) as she realized she did not have enough money.

Finally. the young mother gave something back to the clerk, and asked for new total.‎ ‎　　At that moment, the woman in front of me asked the clerk to wait a moment. She took out ＄5 and handed it to the clerk to pay what the young mother was short of. When the clerk tried to give the woman the fifty cents change, she pointed to the little girl and told the clerk to give it to her. The little girl smiled and ran to one of the machines to spend the money. Naturally, the young mother was thankful and said so. The woman smiled and told her she was welcome.‎ ‎　　I will never forget the look on that little girl’s face-not when she was given the money. But when she realized that a perfect stranger cared enough to help them. From the way she looked at the woman. you could tell that she learned something valuable that day; Some people do care.‎ ‎　　That woman taught me several things with that one little deed.

How can you teach your child to feel sorry so he or she won’t do it again? Researchers say the best way for parents to react（反应）is to show their anger and to let the child know exactly why they are mad.‎ ‎　　Many parents believe that it is best to control their feelings and to wait until they’re calm before scolding their children. But the mother or father who explains reasonably to a child , “Peter was crying because you hit him,” is not likely to attract much attention. Young children need to be scolded immediately, and strongly, before they’ll take criticism （批评）to heart..‎ ‎　　When your young child does something wrong. scold him or her seriously at once. At the same time be sure to tell the child clearly what he or she has done wrong. An angry reaction without an immediate explanation does little good. Forbidding a child to play outside or not allowing him to watch TV as a punishment works well-but only when taken together with an explanation. Make certain your child understands that although his or her wrongdoing has made you angry, you still love him or her. Use simple, direct words such as, “You hurt Peter. How would you feel if he hit you? You must never, never hurt people.” If your voice expresses strong feeling clearly, your message will carry enough weight.‎ ‎　　48. According to researchers, how should parents react when their child did something wrong?‎ ‎　　A. Ask the child not to do it again any time.‎ ‎　　B. Let the child know what exactly happened.‎ ‎　　C. Teach the child why and how to say sorry to others.‎ ‎　　D. Show the child how angry they are and tell him why.‎ ‎　　【名师解析】D。从第一段的红色部分直接可以找出答案。‎ ‎　　点评: 细节题除了第一的之外，其他的段落也在围绕这个中心在写。‎ ‎　　49. What do many parents think they should do with the wrongdoer?‎ ‎　　A. Speak strongly and angrily to him.‎ ‎　　B. Hide their feelings when talking to him.‎ ‎　　C. Explain immediately why he was wrong.‎ ‎　　D. Calm themselves down before scolding him.‎ ‎　　【名师解析】D。从第二段的红色部分直接找到答案。‎ ‎　　50. What could be the best title for the text?‎ ‎　　A. Best Ways to Stop Children’s Wrongdoings ‎　　B. Differences among Parents in Dealing with Children ‎　　C. Different ways to Deal with Children’s Wrongdoings ‎　　D.
