4.It was Saturday morning.I heard loud noises of moving furniture in thenext room.I could almost feel the excitement of John who was soon going to get a room of hisown.I remember my own feelings when I was 13.I knew how much he longed for his right to privacy (私人空间)when he was sharing a room with his younger brother,Robot.He said,"Mum,can I have a room of my own?I could use Jeff's.He won't mind."
It was true that Jeff had graduated from college and flown from the nest.But would he mind?The room was the place where I told him a thousand stories and we had a thousand talks.As close as we were,though,the time came when Jeff needed a doorbetween Us. His life was spreading into areas that had less to do with family.I no longer could or should know everything about him.
It turned out that getting Jeff permission was easy.He said,"Of course,Mum,it would be selfish of me to hold on to it"Then his vcce softened,"Mum,I won't be living at home again-you know that."Behind his glasses,his eyes were lit with all the love.There were no door closed here-they had all opened up again.
As John and I were cleaning the room,I fixed my eyes on Jeff's things around me and could almost touch the little boy I knew was gone forever.I looked at the room and,in my heart,I let it go.To hold on would be,as Jeff said,seifish.Now it was time for John,shouldering through the door,his eyes bright with promise of indepenence,to disappear behind the door,It was time for letting go to happen again.

分析 文章主要讲了随着孩子大学毕业,要离开父母独立生活.作为责任心很强的父母,我们努力培养孩子们的独立性.可是一旦他们有了独立性,当你站在关上的门外边看着光秃秃的门板时,心里总是有那么一点不安.但是我们还是接受了这个事实-至少可以说我们这么做了.养育儿女实际上就是一个逐步撒手放手的过程.
解答 24.B.细节理解题.由第一段中的"I could almost feel the excitement of John who was soon going to get a room of his own…I knew how much he longed for his right to privacy (私人空间) when he was sharing a room with his younger brother,Robot"可知,John渴望得到自己的一个房间.故B选项正确.
25.C.句意理解题.由第二段中的"As close as we were,though,the time came when Jeff needed a door between us.His life was spreading into areas that had less to do with family.I no longer could-or should-know everything about him"可知,作者意识到自己的孩子长大了.他的生活空间已经超出了家庭的范围.作者不应该再过问孩子所有的事情了.故可推知,孩子有自己的隐私权.故C选项正确.
26.C.推理判断题.由文章可知,作者不舍得孩子搬出去独立,但作者同时明白不让孩子独立是一种自私的表现,故面对孩子们的独立,作者的心情非常的复杂.C选项切题.
27.D.推理判断题.由第二段中的"The room was the place where I told him a thousand stories and we had a thousand talks"可知,作者非常怀念和孩子在一起的日子,所以在孩子要搬出去,独立生活时,作者非常的不舍.故D选项正确.
