It’s not easy to be an astronaut’s son.Everybody expects you to be special or perfect. I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me. I mean he’s so special and so good at everything he does. Even in middle school he was monitor and captain of the football team.
Well, to be honest, I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special—like saving a child from a burning building One morning my teacher said there would be a Father’s Day writing competition for the whole school.“I hope we have a winner right here in my class.”
When I got home,I started to think about what to write.My father is an astronaut. No, I wouldn’t start like that. That was the way others saw him.How did I see my father?
Hmm…I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream.I remembered how he hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car. Yes, these were the things I was going to write. To me,he wasn’t just a famous astronaut. He was my dad.
My parents and l went to school Thursday night. There were so many people in the big hall! My dad looked at me, and I shrugged(耸肩).
The third prize was announced and it was not me.1 was relieved(释然)and disappointed(失望) at the same time. The second prize was announced. I t was me. I went up to the stage and read what I had written,“My father’s son”.When I finished,Dad put his hand on my shoulder.“Son,this is the proudest moment of my life.’’

解析试题分析:这篇短文中作者觉得作为名人的儿子是不容易的,他的爸爸是一名宇航员。人们都觉得名人的儿子也应该是特殊的、完美的。作者在一篇作文中写了自己眼里的父亲,回忆了和父亲在一起的难忘的时光。作者的作文题目就是My father’s son,这篇作文还获了奖。在英雄父亲的眼里,作者就是他最大的骄傲。
【小题1】细节理解题。根据文章开头的第一句话It’s not easy to be an astronaut’s son可知,作者说做一名宇航员的儿子是不容易的。宇航员也应是famous person 的一个代表,故由此我们可以推测,选C。lucky 幸运的;natural 自然的;hard 难的;pleasant 令人愉快的。
【小题2】细节理解题。根据文章的第二段I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special—like saving a child from a burning building可知,作者也梦想着成为一名英雄人物,或者做一些很特别的事---就如从着火的大楼里救了一个孩子。由此可知,作者去着火的大楼里救孩子是为了成为一个像父亲一样的英雄。故选B。

Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves.
How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they'll help people feel relaxed and make friends with them quickly.
First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says, "At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It's a common question, but it will get things going." From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.
Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn't. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively. Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of conversation. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he's really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it's time for you to change the subject.
Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the moment of parting. If you're saying good-bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, "I've really enjoyed meeting you." If you want to see that person again, don't keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they've known you half their life.
【小题1】Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way _______.
A.for you to make more and more new friends |
B.to begin your business talks |
C.to get the conversation going smoothly |
D.for you to make a deep and lasting impression on others |
A.make clear what kind of person he is |
B.listen to his reply attentively |
C.wait quietly and patiently for his answer |
D.go on asking him more questions |
A.are good at making any topic interesting |
B.never talk too much or too little |
C.always speak in a gentle way |
D.know how and when they should change the topic of the talk |
A.you may take him as your lifelong true friend |
B.it seems necessary for you to let him know it |
C.it's proper for you to give him a second handshake |
D.it'll be helpful for you to have further understanding of him |

Years ago, I lived in a building in a town. There was another building across from mine, and it was only a few metres away. There lived a woman whom I had never met. I could see her sit by the window each afternoon, drinking or reading.
Several months later, I noticed her window was very dirty. Everything was not clear through the window. I wondered why the woman didn't wash her window.

The woman sitting by her window was clearly seen! Her window was clean! Suddenly, I realized I had made a mistake. I was watching her through my dirty window all the time!
That was quite an important lesson for me. Since then, whenever I wanted to judge (判断) someone, I asked myself first, "Am I looking at him through the dirty window of my heart? ”Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world clearly.

One windy spring day, I noticed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Colorful creations of different shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds flying and dancing. As the strong winds blew against the kites, a string kept them in control.
Instead of blowing away with the wind, they rose against it to achieve great heights. They shook and pulled, but the restraining (控制的) string and the cumbersome (笨重的) tail kept them in control, facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled against the string, they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!” They rose beautifully even when they fought the restriction of the string. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose(松散的). “Free at last,” it seemed to say. “Free to fly with the wind.”
Yet freedom(自由) simply put it in the control of an unkind wind. It fell down to the ground and landed in a mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. “Free at last”, free to lie powerlessly in the dirt, to be blown helplessly along the ground, and to stop lifelessly against the first obstacle (障碍物).
How much like kites we sometimes are. The Heaven gives us adversity (逆境) and rules, rules to follow from which we can grow and get strength. Some of us break away from the rules so hard that we never reach the heights we might get to. We keep part of the rules and never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.
Let us each rise to the great heights, knowing that some of the rules that we may be angry about are in fact the strong force that helps us achieve.
【小题1】Why does the writer write the first paragraph?
A.Because it was the first time that he had seen young people flying kites. |
B.Because he wants to share his feelings in nature with the readers. |
C.Because he wants to tell the readers how to make beautiful kites. |
D.Because he wants to use readers’ similar life experience to understand the article better. |
A.anyone who wants no restraints is sure to be a sad end |
B.what a pity it is that one kite flew down to the ground |
C.man with freedom can’t be like that kite which fell down |
D.the unkind wind is the cause of the fallen kite’s failure |
A.束缚 | B.放纵 | C.摇摆 | D.牵引 |
A.without restrictions and rules we can make endless progress |
B.kites are good examples to those who want to get freedom |
C.restrictions are necessary for us human beings |
D.we don’t need any freedom at all |
