Question

When I was a foreign teacher in China, every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China. One day the topic turned to saying “ I love you”. I was shocked to learn that not one of my students has said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them. “Does your mother love you?” “ Of course,” they answered.
“ How do you know?” was my logical question. They responded that their moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring. I was stunned. So mom’s cooking and criticizing read out as “I love you”. “Then do you say‘I love you’to her?” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by good jobs would be how they showed their love.
I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these questions in classes over time. Gradually, I began to get different responses. Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms.
One of my favourite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, “ Now that you have gone, I have more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”
In my family we all say “I love you” a lot. While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three words carry a world of meaning, even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.

試題分析：本文的作者是一名在中國(guó)教書的外國(guó)人，他通過他的親身經(jīng)歷了解到對(duì)于跟家人說“我愛你”的中西方差異。
小題1:推理判斷題。根據(jù)They responded that their moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring（他們回答說他們的媽媽做飯和總是告訴他們做什么是錯(cuò)的，以此來顯示對(duì)他們的愛）可知，中國(guó)的父母是通過做一些有對(duì)孩子有幫助的事來顯示他們對(duì)孩子的愛。故選D。
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)They responded that their moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring（他們回答說他們的媽媽做飯和總是告訴他們做什么是錯(cuò)的，以此來顯示對(duì)他們的愛）可知，在外國(guó)，父母顯示對(duì)孩子的愛是說我愛你，而在中國(guó)則是通過日常的行為來顯示，所以當(dāng)作者知道此事后，顯示出了震驚。故選C。
小題3:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you（我注意到有些地方的媽媽和孩子互相擁抱，這是個(gè)好主意，因此我以后開始擁抱你）可知，本題選B。
