The topic of parenthood came up. I complained about how packed my schedule was. From the minute I woke up to the minute I fell asleep, I was constantly in demand and always had someone knocking at the door. But a bit of sadness seemed to come over Kate’s face.‎ ‎“Well, my daughter’s in San Francisco and she doesn’t seem to need me at all these days,” Kate said. It was in that moment that I realized although I might often feel in high demand, there will come a day when I will actually miss that same stress I then complained about.‎ And as our conversation continued, it turned to our children’s younger years, with Kate smiling proudly, thinking of the little boy and girl she raised who are now a man and a woman. But I noticed her smile was marked with regret. She explained that she often wondered about what she could have done differently when her children were in their earlier years.‎ This got me thinking. Is regret an unfortunate footnote (注脚) to parenthood? With that in mind, I asked six older parents one question: What is your biggest regret from your early days as a parent?‎ It turned out that all of them thought they could have done it better. But, each of them also has a strong, healthy relationship with their kids. Whatever regrets their parents might have had about their upbringing, one thing is clear ------- it ‎ didn’t affect them in a meaningful way.‎ The bottom line is, we all feel like we could be doing this parenting thing better. And quite clearly, years later, we’re still going to look back and wish we tried things differently. But the past can’t be changed, and neither should it.‎ ‎24．What can be inferred from the first three paragraphs?‎ A．Kate had the same problem as the author's.‎ B．The two people had arranged to meet in the coffee shop.‎ C．The author went to the coffee shop to escape from the pressure around him.‎ D．Kate went to the coffee shop so no one could find her there.‎ ‎25．Why did Kate feel sad and regretful?‎ A．She and her daughter had a fight.‎ B．She hadn’t paid enough attention to her kids.‎ C．She thought that she could have done better in raising her kids.‎ D．She was disappointed with her kid’s performance.‎ ‎26．What did the author find when the author spoke to six older parents?‎ A．Some of the parents have a bad relationship with their kids.‎ B．He was moved by the love of these parents for their children.‎ C．These parents improved their behavior after their kids grew up.‎ D．None of the parents were completely satisfied with the way they raised their kids.‎ ‎27．What is the text mainly about?‎ A．Give more love to your kids.‎ B．Regret for the parenting can be softened by time.‎ C．Nearly all the parents have regretful parenting.‎ D．Never stop learning how to be a good parent from others.‎ C.‎ Once upon a time, a daughter complained to her father that her life was unhappy and that she was tired of struggling all the time.‎ Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and ‎ placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes, eggs and coffee beans in them. After 20 minutes, he took them out, putting the potatoes and eggs in a bowl and the coffee in a cup.‎ Turning to his daughter, he said, “Look closer, and touch the potatoes.” She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to taste the coffee. Its good smell brought a smile to her face.‎ ‎“Father, what does this mean?” she asked. He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and the coffee beans were in the same adversity(逆境)——the boiling water. However, each one reacted differently.‎ The strong and hard potato became soft and weak in boiling water. The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard. However, the coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new. “Which one do you want to be like,” he asked. “When adversity knocks on your door, how will you respond?”‎ In life, challenges happen to us all, but the only thing that truly matters is what happens within us.‎ ‎28．Why did the girl complain to her father?‎ A．Because of her hard life. B．Because of her tiring job.‎ C．Because of her father’s busy work. D．Because of the food her father cooked.‎ ‎29．What can we infer from this story?‎ A．The girl liked the coffee best. B．The father was good at cooking.‎ C．The girl didn’t like the potatoes and eggs. D．Different people have different reactions to adversity.‎ ‎30．What does the underlined word “fragile” mean in the 4th paragraph?‎ A．thick B．easily-broken C．strong D．hard ‎31．What would be the best title for the passage?‎ A．Father and daughter. B．Adversities and a chef.‎ C．A chef and coffee beans. D．Challenges and responses.‎ ‎ D One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one’s mistakes. It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like “I was wrong about that,” and it is even harder to say, “I was wrong, and you were right about that.” I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain store in the neighborhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg boxes. Then he talked of an incident and I began to remember it.‎ I was about eight years old at that time, and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly shopping. On that special day, I must have found my way to the food department where the incident took place.‎ There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was a big show of eggs in dozen and half-dozen boxes. The boxes were put three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of them to admire the show. Just then a woman came by pushing her shopping cart and knocked off the pile of boxes. For some reasons, I decided it was up to me to put the boxes back together, so I went to work.‎ The manager heard the noise and came pushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees checking some of the boxes to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the person who was to blame. He scolded me loudly and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. My face turned red and I tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot the incident, but the manager did not.‎ ‎32．How old was the author when he wrote this article?‎ A．About 8 years old. B．About 18 years old.‎ C．About 23 years old. D．About 15 years old.‎ ‎33．Who was to blame for knocking off the pile of boxes?‎ A．The author. B．The manager.‎ C．A woman. D．The author’s mother.‎ ‎34．Which of the following statement is NOT TRUE?‎ A．The woman who knocked off the pile of boxes was seriously scolded by the manager.‎ B．The author was loudly scolded by the manager.‎ C．A woman carelessly knocked off the pile of boxes.‎ D．It was the author who tried to put the boxes back together.‎ ‎35．The tone of the article expresses the author’s .‎ A．admiration for the manager’s willingness to admit mistakes B．anger to the manager for his wrong doing C．dissatisfaction with the woman who knocked off the pile of cartons D．regret for the mistake he made in the store 七选五 How to Make a Chinese Hot Pot Eating a Chinese hot pot is a very common experience.
