Dear David,

I’m glad you would like to share your feelings with me.It’s hardly surprising that your feelings of not being “grown up” have come on strongly at this point in your life,just before you’re about to become a father.You are asking:will I make a good father?How will I cope?

Should I have brought another little person into the world? Can l provide for it? Help! I think nearly every sensitive about-to-be-parent must have these occasional feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy(不适)before the birth and it would be most unusual if you didn't share them.It's difficult,honestly,to feel grown-up unless you have something less grown-up to relate to.

The boss with a hen-pecking wife may feel like a seven-year-old when he’s at home.But as he walks through the office door,and knows he’s going to be surrounded by staff looking to him for Advice,he grows into a fully mature man.And I think it’s a mistake to imagine that we all feel,as we age,a kind of progression of states,from the baby to the adult.Most people feel,on Tuesday,about three years old,and on a Wednesday,around 80.

There's a common remark that “all men are little boys”,but it's not true.It's more true that men often behave like little boys.But nearly all people,at some moments in their lives,are capable of groat maturity.

Once your baby arrives,you’ll soon feel less childlike,or rather,less often.When your child tries to put its fingers into the electric plug,the adult in you will rise up to prevent it.You’ll see

you have very little in common with a needy child,particularly if it's looking to you for comfort and support.

Comfort yourself,David,with two truths.One is that your friends laugh when they talk about this subject because they,like you,feel frightened.And remember that people who haven't grown up don’t go around talking about the fact that they don’t feel grown-up.

Hope my advice will be helpful and good luck to you and your little one.

Yours sincerely

Miss Advice

1.According to the passage,Miss Advice thinks David's self-doubt is________.

2.From Paragraph 2,we can learn that people's sense of maturity________.

B.is obviously seen at home

C.changes with different situations

D.becomes stronger with familiar people

3.Miss Advice holds that________.

A.all men behave like little boys

B.people tend to laugh at the subject

C.men with a baby feel more grown-up

D.people enjoy talking about their immaturity

4.Miss Advice wrote the letter to________

阅读理解(共4小题)

In the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere.Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.

My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65.She was the first in our family to reach that goal.But one year after I started college, she developed cancer.I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her.It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.

Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children.In 1999, we adopted our first son.To lay eyes on him was fantastic---and very emotional.A year later came our second adopted boy.Then followed son No.3.In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.

You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8!Our home was a complete zoo — a joyous zoo.Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time.But I never gave up on the dream either.I had only one choice: to find a way.That meant taking as few as one class each semester.

The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys.They often wanted me to stay home with them.There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.

In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina.It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!

I am not special, just single-minded.It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal.Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day.It’s a process.Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.

A.a writer B.a doctor C.a judge D.a journalist

A.Her grandma asked her to withdraw from college

B.She fell in love and got married

C.She had so many children to support that she was too busy to continue her college

3.What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?

B.Little by little, one goes far

C.Every coin has two sides

D.Well begun, half done

4.Which of the following can best describe the author?
