In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23-year-old son, Daniel．In a few hours he would be flying to France to 26 a different life．It was a transitional（过渡的） time in Daniel’s life．I wanted to 27 him some words of significance．But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the 28 time I had let such moments pass．
When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten．He asked, “What is it going to be like, Dad? Can I do it?” Then he walked 29 the steps of the bus and disappeared inside．The bus drove away and I said nothing．A decade later, a similar 30 played itself out．I drove him to college．As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him 31 and confidence as he started this new stage of life．Again, words 32 me．
Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those 33 opportunities．How many times have I let such moments 34 ? I don't find a quiet moment to tell him what they have 35 to me．Or what he might want to face in the years 36 ．Maybe I thought it was not necessary to say anything．
What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him? 37 as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter．My father and I loved each other．Yet, I always 38 never hearing him put his 39 into words．Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten．Why is it so 40 to tell a son something from the heart?
My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly．“Daniel,” I said, “If I could have picked, I would have picked you．” That's all I could say．He hugged me．For a moment, the world 41 , and there were just Daniel and me．He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes, and I couldn't understand what he was saying．All I was 42 of was the stubble（短须） on his chin as his face pressed 43 mine．What I had said to Daniel was 44 ．It was nothing．And yet, it was 45 ．

Right is right. Right? Of course. But is left wrong? Well, the Romans used to think so. They thought left-handed people were mistakes of nature. Latin, the language of the Romans, had many words that expressed this view. Some words we use today still have this meaning. The Latin word “dexter” means “right”. The English word “dexterous” comes from this word. It means “handy” (clever with hands). So, right is handy. But the Latin word for left is “sinister”. The English word “sinister” comes from this word. Sinister means “evil” (very bad). Is it fair to call right-handed people handy and left-handed people evil? Well, fair or not, many languages have words that express such beliefs. In old English, the word for left means “weak”. That isn’t much of an improvement over “evil”.
Not very long ago, children were often forced to write with their right hands. Doctors have since found that this can be very harmful. You should use the hand you were born to use.
People who use their left hands are just starting to get better treatment. But why they get all these bad names in the first place? One reason may be that there are not as many left-handed people as there are right-handed people. There is one left-handed person for every five right-handed ones. People who are different are often thought to be wrong. But attitudes do seem to be changing. Fair-minded right-handed people are finally starting to give left-handed people a hand.
What does the passage lead us to believe when one writes?
A. He can only use his right hand.
B. He can only use his left hand.
C. He can use either his left hand or his right hand.
D. He can use both his left hand and his right hand.
The last sentence of this article means ________.
A. Fair-minded right-handed people want to change the habit of the left-handed people
B. Fair-minded right-handed people are starting to help the left-handed people
C. Fair-minded right-handed people are starting to use left hand to write and so on
D. Fair-minded right-handed people are starting to give up using their left hands
After we read the article we can certainly know that _______.
A. left-handed people have been treated poorly
B. the number of the left-handed people is larger than that of right-handed people
C. right-handed people are much cleverer than left-handed people
D. left-handed people are less smart but hardworking
Which of the following is NOT right, according to the article?
A. At one time, left-handed people were forced to use their right hands.
B. Left-handed people today are being treated better than those in the past.
C. There are not as many left-handed people as there are right-handed people today.
D. “Dexterous” comes from Latin, means “evil” and English “sinister” means “handy”.

How “Kangaroo” Became an Animal’s Name
Early in the 18th century, Captain Cook, a famous explorer of Australia, unexpectedly caught sight of an unusual animal during his first visit to Australia. The animal had a large mouth-like head and jumped along on its large legs. To his surprise, the unusual animal carried it’s young in a special pocket of flesh. Captain Cook pointed to the animal which was eating grass in the distance and asked his native guide what the animal was referred to. The guide seemed not to know what he was pointing at and finally said Kang-a-roo, which Cook carefully wrote down as the animal’s name in his word book. The Europeans who later got to Australia were anxious to see the unusual animal “Kang-a-roo”, but their requests met with puzzled looks of the native people.

The first step is cooperating(合作).How does a difficult person know that you’re listening and understanding?In fact, it’s through the way you look and sound while he is talking. You may help him to fully express his thoughts and feelings. You do this by nodding your head in agreement, making cartain sounds of understandiey.
When the peron begings to repeat what’s been said, is’s a two:turning that you repeat some words he is using, sending a clear signal the you’ve listening carefully and that you think what he is saying is important.
Having heard what he has to say, the next sterp is clarifying.At this point, you start to gather information about whoat is being communicated. Ask same open-ended questions, which will allow you to figure out what intention he is hoping to satisfy.
The fourth step is to summarize(概括)what you’ve heard.This allows you to make sure that both you and the difficult peson the same page. When you do this, two things happen First, if you’ve twisses shinething, he can fill in the (细节).Second you’ve shown that you’re making an effort to understand cometely. This increases possibility of gaining cooperation from him.
