My parents are amazing. I had the most wonderful childhood, and it’s not because I had everything I wanted or because I was a cool kid. I have learned a lot about parenting from what my parents did. Here are a few gems (珍寶) that I use now or plan to use in the future with my two boys.

Here’s how a conversation often went when I was a kid. Usually it was around 4:30 p.m. I said, “I’m hungry. Can I have a cookie?” My mom answered, “No. Have a banana.” “I don’t want a banana.” “Then you’re not hungry.” Sometimes I was angry about it, but I knew that was good for me. Thanks mom for not letting me eat junk food (垃圾食品). Now I agree with my mother and I have this same conversation with my three-year-old son. I hope it helps him form healthy diet habits.

I know many of us heard this as children. “If everyone jumped off a bridge, would you do it, too?” If our kids asked for something just because everyone else had it or was doing it, we often got this response. It was the perfect response, and we soon learned not to ask for things because everyone else had it, but because it was something we wanted.

I will always be thankful that my parents let us try the things that interested us, not the things they wanted to push us into. This helped me try swimming, dance, and the piano before second grade. I found a love — singing — and kept up with that through my college years. It drives me crazy, as a mom and teacher, when I see kids who are pushed into their parents’ favorite activities, even when they don’t have a passion for them.

1.What are the gems in the writer’s mind?

A. Her parents’ knowledge.

B. Her parents’ educational methods.

C. Her parents’ love.

D. Her parents’ personalities.

2. Why does the writer mention the conversation with her mother in Paragraph 2?

A. To show her mother was so strict with her.

B. To stress the importance of healthy diet habits.

C. To show her mother was not concerned about her.

D. To show how her mother helped her develop healthy diet habits.

3.The response from the writer’s parents in Paragraph 3 is mainly used to .

A. refuse their kid’s same request

B. meet their kid’s right request

C. tell their kid not to be in danger

D. tell the good from the bad

4.Which of the following may be supported by the writer?

A. The children must do what their parents want them to.

B. The children can do anything that they want to.

C. The children must do what is useful to society.

D. The children can try the things that interest them.

I hated dinner parties. But I decided to give them another shot because I’m in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because dinner parties in London are very different from those back in New York. There, “I’m having a dinner party means: I’m booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you can’t afford and we’ll be sharing the cheque evenly, no matter what you eat.” Worse, in Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives. They’ll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who don’t drink, end up paying even more. But if I try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout: Where are you going? And it’s not like I can say I have somewhere to go: everyone knows I have nowhere to go.

But in London, dinner parties are in people’s homes. Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India. Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations in New York. The mix is less striking. It’s like a gathering at Bloomingdale’s, a well-known department store.

For New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New York. But at Mallery’s, when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently, people knew where it was. In New York people would think it was a usual new club.

1.What does the word “shot” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. Choice. B. Try. C. Style. D. Goal.

2.What does the writer dislike most about dinner parties in New York?

A. There is a strange mix of people.

B. The restaurants are expensive.

C. The bill is not fairly shared.

D. People have to pay cash.

3.What does the author think of the parties in London?

A. A bit unusual. B. Full of tricks.

C. Less costly. D. More interesting.

4.What is the author’s opinion of some New Yorkers from her experience?

A. Easy-going. B. Self-centred.

C. Generous. D. Conservative.

My brother used to ask me question whenever he did his homework, that made me annoyed. But every time he accepted my explanations I feel that I was the smartest person in the world. Answered his questions, I always liked to say that he was so stupid to solve such simple problems.

Last week both of them got the report cards from our school. Unexpectedly, I got a lot of Bs, though he got As. To make things worse, all that day my brother screamed how foolish it was for me not to ask questions! I could say nothing but admit that he was right. I have never made a fun of him since then.
