    Perhaps a parent’s most important contribution toward raising a trustful child is to develop a relationship founded on trust. A child of any age will feel proud and grown-up if parents frequently show their trust. In court a defendant(被告) is innocent until proved guilty. But in the family, a teenager “defendant” is too often assumed guilty.

    Even when the child is caught in a complete lie, this should not be the end of trust. A parent can tell a child that a single lie is forgivable. Yet it should be clear that if lies continue, the child, like the boy who cried wolf, will suffer loss of trust.

    When my wife and I discovered that our son Tom, then 13, had lied about throwing a party while we were away, we grounded him for a month. We also told Tom that we could no longer trust him, and we could not allow him to stay alone overnight again. This loss of freedom was an important lesson; he learned how hard it is to live with people when they don’t trust him. As a result, now more than three years later we can again trust Tom to stay alone overnight.

    Parents must always remember there is no easy answer to this universal problem of lying. We can set a good example, allow for privacy, monitor friendship, develop trust and punish wrong doing, but still we discover our child has lied to us. Finally that’s why there is a need for trust on both sides of a parent-child relationship. Lying destroys closeness and friendship. For that reason, parents should always try to give a child the feeling that they can be trusted with the truth. Parents may start with a child’s trust, but as the child grows older, parents must earn it.

    1.When the writer and his wife discovered that their son had lied, they _________.

    A. took all his freedom from him

    B. decided never to trust him again

    C. forbade him to stay alone overnight

    D. arranged him to stay at home.

    2.We can infer from the passage that very often ________.

    A. parents don’t trust their child as they should

    B. defendants are usually proved not guilty in court

    C. parents have too much trust in their child

    D. some children are founded guilty in court

    3.According to the passage, the writer believes that _____________.

    A. parents shouldn’t punish their children even if they lie

    B. it is not easy to deal with the problem of lying as parents

    C. there are effective ways to prevent children from lying

    D. children will stop telling lies as they grow up

         Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12, a white gardenia was delivered to my house. No card came with it Calls to the flower-shop were not helpful at all. After a while I stopped trying to discover the sender’s name and just delighted in the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper.

         But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be. Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged these imaginings. She’d ask me if there was someone for whom I had done special kindness. Perhaps it was the old man across the street whose mail I’d delivered during the winter. As a girl, though, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy I had run into.

         One month before my graduation, my father died. I felt so sad that I became completely uninterested in my upcoming graduation dance, and I didn’t care if I had a new dress or not. But my mother, in her own sadness, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable. In truth, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gar-denia-lovely, strong and perfect with perhaps a bit of mystery(神秘).My mother died ten days after I was married. I was 22. That was the year the gardenia stopped coming.

    America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.  Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily. Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.  For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!

    1.The writer of this passage must be ______.

    A．an American

    B．a Chinese

    C．a professor

    D．a student

    2.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

    A．Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.

    B．Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.

    C．Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.

    D．Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.

    3.From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be ______.

    A．warmly welcomed at the airport

    B．offered a ride to his home

    C．treated hospitably at his home

    D．treated to dinner in a restaurant

    4.The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean ______.

    A．strict with time

    B．serious with time

    C．careful with time

    D．willing to spend time

    5. A suitable title for this passage would probably be “______”.

    A．Friendships between Chinese

    B．Friendships between Americans

    C．Americans’ hospitality

    D．Americans’ and Chinese’s views of friendships

    Has anyone noticed how, with the passage of time, one’s relationship with one’s grown-up daughters and sons becomes changed? I’ve been aware of this for some time but I’m not quite sure how to deal with it.

    Take the kitchen sink for example.

    Following a family get-together at my place, I walked into the kitchen to find Kate, my daughter carefully cleaning the sink.

    “Don’t do that; what are you doing that for?” I said, unhappy about the hidden criticism.

    “Mum,” she said, “you really ought to put your glasses on when you clean the sink. Behind the tap here was black!”

    But it’s not just things like kitchen sinks. Another time Kate arrived to pick me up to lunch. She looked at me and then asked, “Mum, why do you use brown eyebrow pencil when your hair is grey?”

    A sudden memory of her, aged 14, going to her first mixed party flooded back. She had come in to say goodbye. For a moment I thought she’d been an accident. Both eyes were black. I remember suggesting that perhaps a little less eye make-up might be more effective.

    Now I told her, “My hair used to be brown.”

    “It looks absurd.”

    “Mrs. Menzies had dark eyebrows with grey hair.”

    “Yes, but you’re not Mrs. Menzies, are you?” she said triumphantly, as if that proved her point.

    But a recent event made me realize that something really must be done.

    She had returned some for a few weeks before getting married. One evening I went out on a dinner date. By the time my companion left me at the front door, it was about 2am. As I stepped in, an angry figure in a white nightgown stopped me.

    “Well, what time of night is this to be coming home?” she shouted. “Where have you been? I’ve been worried sick!”

    Shades of the past come back to disturb me. But what should I do about all this? Nothing, probably. Maybe, after all, it’s only a stage young people are going through.

    1.The daughter thought her mother didn’t clean the kitchen sink well because of her        .

             A．laziness      B．carelessness      C．unhappiness      D．poor-quality glasses

    2.From the passage we know the daughter         .

             A．didn’t want to help with the sink

             B．didn’t like brown eyebrow pencils

             C．had an accident when she went to her first party

             D．shouted at her mum because she came home late

    3.How does the mother feel after all these have happened?

             A．Shocked.    B．Proud.        C．Envious.     D．Confused.

    4.The author writes the stories to prove that         .

            A．their relationship became stronger 

             B．their roles changed as time passed

             C．her daughter very much cared about her

             D．her daughter got upset as she grew up
