    Long long ago, a young man found a spring of delicious clean water while he was going through the desert. He brought some back to the oldest man in his village, who had been his teacher before. After a four-day journey he sent the water to the old man who took a deep drink, smiled warmly and thanked his student for the sweet water. The young man returned to his village happily. The next day, the teacher let another student taste the water. He spat it out, saying it was awful. It went bad because it had stayed in the old leather container(皮革容器) for so many days in such hot weather. The student asked his teacher why he pretended(假装) to like the awful water. The teacher replied, "You only tasted the water. I tasted the gift. The water was simply the container for love and kindness. And nothing could be sweeter than these."
    　　I think we understand this lesson best when we receive small gifts of love from very young kids. Whether it's a slice of bread or a piece of colored paper, the natural and right response(反应) is to show our thanks and happiness because we get love from the gift.
    　 To show our thanks doesn't always come naturally. Unfortunately, most children and many adults only see the thing itself. They never feel the meaning of the thing. We should tell ourselves and teach our children about showing thanks and happiness to the persons who give the gifts from their hearts because gifts from the heart are really gifts of the heart.
    小题1:Where did the young man find the water?
    A．In a spring.B．In a river.C．In a lake.D．In a village.
    小题2:How long did the water stay in the old leather container?
    A．Six days.B．Five days.C．Four days.D．Three days.
    小题3:What does the word “replied” mean?
    A．smiledB．criedC．answeredD．got angry
    小题4:According to the passage, what is the right response when we get gifts from others?
    A．We eat it up at once.
    B．We only see the thing itself.
    C．We think about the meaning of the bread.
    D．We usually show our thanks and happiness naturally.
    小题5:What does the writer want to tell us?
    A．We should never receive anything from others.
    B．We should show thanks and happiness when we get the gifts from the heart.
    C．We should pretend to love the things given by others all the time.
    D．We should give gifts from our hearts.

    小题1:A

    小题3:C
    小题4:D
    小题5:B

    Amy Chua, well-known as the Tiger Mother, has held the attention of parents all across the US. She told Reader’s Digest that she’s a little strange about how her book struck so many nerves in the US. The reporter of the magazine is sharing the interview with us.
    Reader’s Digest: Did you want your book to be controversial (有争议的)?
    Amy: I don’t think it would have been controversial at all if it wasn’t for the Wall Street Journal headline that was called, “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior”.
    Reader’s Digest: What’s your view on your parenting?
    Amy: My children grew up with one Western parent. My husband doesn’t believe in raising his voice with the kids and we don’t spank (打小孩). They were really raised in a half Asian family. My book’s message is that we should try to find the balance. I believe that when children are little, you should restrict (限制) their choices. I like the traditional Chinese way. Respect authority (尊重权利) and don’t just let them watch TV all the time. I don’t think kids under the age of ten can make good choices. But once they start to get older, the lesson I learnt with Lulu (Amy’s second daughter) is that you have to start listening to them. You have to start giving them more choices and more freedom. I really think it’s important to find a balance.
    I like the strict Chinese way of discipline (行为准则) and hard work when children are young. But when they’re older, you have to send love to your child, you have to listen to your child and really achieve the balance between creativity, choice and freedom on the one hand, which the west is very good at, and on the other hand, hard work and self discipline, which I think traditional Chinese parenting is very good at.
    小题1:Where can we find the passage?
    A．In a novel.B．In a magazine.C．In a comic book.D．In a history book.
    小题2:The Tiger Mother thinks the reason her book became controversial is that ______.
    A．she is very famous
    B．parenting is such a common topic
    C．traditional Chinese parenting is too strict
    D．the Wall Street Journal headline was called “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior”
    小题3:Which of the following is TRUE according to Amy’s view on parenting?
    A．We should control all of the children’s choices.
    B．Spanking is necessary during children’s growth.
    C．Children should be raised in half Asian families.
    D．When children get older, parents should listen to them.
    小题4:According to the passage, we can see ______ in the west.
    A．children respect their parents because of authority
    B．all kids under the age of ten can make good choices
    C．some parents don’t believe in raising their voice with the kids
    D．children do all of the things according to their parents’ orders
    小题5:What is the main idea of this passage?
    A．The book that the Tiger Mother wrote is very controversial.
    B．Traditional Chinese parenting is much better than that in the west.
    C．The Tiger Mother shows some of her ideas about her book and parenting.
    D．Parents should achieve the balance between creativity, choice and freedom.

    Before school started, Ron went to every single student’s home to  7  with their families. He gave his students his home phone number, so if they had any  8  with their homework, they could call him. To connect with his students, Ron knew he should use special  9  of teaching. He learned to play funny games with them, gave them  10  lessons, and spent his time showing students  11  New York’s tourist attractions. His students studied harder and behaved better in  12 .
