　　Besides multi-million record sales, Houston made countless hits such as The Greatest Love of All, I Ha-oe Nothing, and the mostly famous I Will Always Love You．She also influenced a generation of younger singers, from Christina Aguilera to Mariah Carey．

　　But by the end of her career, there was a shocking fall for this superstar．Houston had been addicted to drugs．Her album sales declined and the hits stopped coming and her once beautiful voice became hoarse(嘶啞的), unable to hit the high notes as she used to．

　　In 2009, Houston staged a successful comeback with the album I Look To You, which fell on top of the charts．But hoarse voice, canceled concerts, and continuous illness-Houston's comeback trail wasn't smooth at all．In an interview with Oprah Winfreyin2009, Houston admitted："It(show business)is too much for me and I wanted out．"

I really hadn’t meant to yell at them. But that grey afternoon saw it just as my son and daughter were making a terrible mess on the floor in the kitchen.

With a tiresome report to write, I felt bothered at my desk. Suddenly, it occurred to me that my kids were at fault. A voice inside me insisted that I do something quickly.

“Ok, you two here, but what an awful thing you are attempting!” I was shouting angrily. I made for them, while it became evident that the boy wanted no part of me. “Get away from us!” he shouted back, there being an expression of support from his sister.

All of a sudden, I found the fault in myself. Quickly I shaped my hands into pincers(鉗子) and crawled towards them, “Crabby（暴躁的） Daddy is here. Ha, Ha, Ha, he likes to yell at children, and then eat them!” My son continued to keep me away, but now he was laughing and crying at the same time. My mission to repair the damage caused by my yelling seemed to work well. Still, I regretted not having controlled myself first in a right way.

Need I let them know how badly they were acting by blaming? This is a lesson that serves myself. It only shows just how to get rid of something (ill-feelings, responsibility…) by blaming others. It’s not my “best self”.

We have to search for our “best self” when with our children. They don’t need perfect parents, but they do need parents who are always trying to get better. Here, I am reminded of the words of a great thinker. “When a man lives with God, his voice shall be as sweet as the murmur of the book…” Then, in our lifetime, couldn’t we always speak to our kids in such a sweet voice since most of us consider them as the most precious in the world? And before we reach this level, what should we do when we come across various difficult cases with our children?

The author couldn’t help yelling at his kids this time probably because________.

A. the weather was so unpleasant         B. he was tired of his boring work

C. the kids didn’t ask him to join them     D. a Daddy has his right to do so

Which of the following made the author aware of his fault?

A. No obvious reason.              

B. The boy’s yelling back.

C. His self-awareness.              

D. The girl’s shouting back

According to the passage, the author will _____ in another similar situation.

A. play a crab again like this time  

B. apologize to kids in a sincere way

C. avoid blaming kids in a hurry   

D. beat them up about such things

What will the writer go on to write about in the next paragraph(s)?

A. How to behave ourselves properly when kids are at fault.

B. How to play with our children in a more interesting way.

C. How to deal with the housework with children around us.

D. How to persuade children to do what they are told to.

What does “the boy wanted no part of me” in the third paragraph mean?

A. The boy was happy because I loved them.

B. The boy was curious because I wanted to help them.    

C. The boy was very happy for I was angry.    

D. The boy didn’t want me to join them.
