“What's your ‘Thing of the Day’?”I asked...

    “What's your ‘Thing of the Day’”I asked my fourteen-year-old son as he got a piece of potato onto his plate. This is a question our four kids and whichever friends are staying for supper expect to be asked each evening at suppertime. Usually, it's followed with, “Uhh……Umm…We had pizza for lunch. ”And then I have to refuse the response and ask for something meaningful-either something he learned or something that happened with his friends.

But, this day, my son surprised me as he went into great detail about how he had been honestly wronged by a couple of classmates and laughed at in front of the class. I asked more questions and learned that the teachers were aware of the situation. The issue had been dealt with as much as the teachers and staff were able to. It was really just a matter of kids being mean and deciding to play a trick on someone.

I thought about the situation all night. I vacillated between meeting the teachers, meeting the parents of the classmates, and not doing anything since the story had been told to me in a matter-of-fact way-not overly excitedly.

I waited until the next day after school. On the car ride home, I questioned my son what about today after yesterday's situation. My son was surprised that I brought it up again. “WhatNo, it's over, Mom. They're my friends. They were just being stupid. They apologized. Forgive and forget, you knowWe're all good. ”

I was worried that perhaps he was trying to hide his concern or sadness about the thing. But as I watched him over the next days and weeks, everything seemed “normal”. Wouldn't it be great if everyone could live the “forgive and forget” way of life

1.How are children's usual answers to the author's daily question

A.Serious. B.Worrisome. C.Meaningless. D.Detailed.

2.Why was the author sleepless that night

A.Her son was made fun of unkindly. B.Her son invited his friends to dinner.

C.Her son was punished by his teacher. D.Her son lied to her about his mistake.

3.What does the underlined word “vacillate” in paragraph 3 probably mean

A.Give suggestions. B.Make sense. C.Persuade oneself. D.Be undecided.

4.What did the author learn from the whole story

A.It is good to forgive and forget. B.It is necessary to watch her son.

C.It is difficult to understand children. D.It is surprising for her son to apologize.

 

1.C 2.A 3.D 4.A 【解析】 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲叙了作者14岁的儿子告诉了作者,自己在班上被其他同学嘲笑的事情,这让作者整夜失眠。结果,第二天放学后,作者再次问起儿子这件事,儿子却说已经解决了,嘲笑他的人道了歉。作者也从这件事中学到了宽恕和遗忘是好事。 1. 推理判断题。根据第一段中“What's your ‘Thing of the Day’?”I asked my fourteen-year-old son as he got a piece of potato onto his plate. This is a question our four kids and whichever friends are staying for supper expect to be asked each evening at suppertime. Usually, it's followed with, “Uhh……Umm…We had pizza for lunch. ”可知“你的‘今日之事’是什么?”我问十四岁的儿子,他把一块土豆放到盘子里。这是我们四个孩子和哪位朋友留下来吃晚饭时,每天晚饭时都会被问到的问题。通常,跟接着会说:“呃……呃……我们中午吃了披萨。”由此可推知,孩子们对作者的日常问题都是无意义的回答。故选C。 2. 细节理解题。根据第二段中But, this day, my son surprised me as he went into great detail about how he had been honestly wronged by a couple of classmates and laughed at in front of the class.可知但是,这一天,儿子却让我大吃一惊,他详细地讲述了自己如何被几个同学冤枉,并当着全班同学的面嘲笑。以及第三段中I thought about the situation all night.可知我整晚都在考虑这个情况。由此可知,作者那天晚上失眠了,是因为她的儿子被无情地取笑。故选A。 3. 词义猜测题。根据后文between meeting the teachers, meeting the parents of the classmates可知儿子在班上被欺负了,作者整夜失眠,在去见老师,还是去见同学的家长之间犹豫不决。由此可知,划线单词意思为“犹豫不决”。故选D。 4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段I was worried that perhaps he was trying to hide his concern or sadness about the thing. But as I watched him over the next days and weeks, everything seemed “normal”. Wouldn't it be great if everyone could live the “forgive and forget” way of life?可知我担心他可能是在试图掩饰他对这件事的担忧或悲伤。但在接下来的几天、几周时间里,我看着他,一切似乎都“正常”了。如果每个人都能过一种“宽恕和遗忘”的生活,不是很好吗?由此可推知,作者从整个故事中学到了宽恕和遗忘是好事。故选A。

Dear Jenny,

Welcome to my school! When you arrive, there will be a party for you holding by my classmates. You may attend to English classes to feel a differently learning style. After that, you can go to your host family that you can experience the Chinese way of life. You can have meals together chatting anything that interests us.The host family will also show you around some famous scenic spot. You can see people selling kites everywhere because our city was home to kites. There are many kinds of kites to choose from. So isn't it the good idea to buy some for your friends? Write to me unless you have any questions about the schedule.

Best wishes.

Yours,

Zhang Ming

    Every life-changing decision we make in our life shapes our current reality. Let’s talk about a few ways that you can use for reference when making your own life-changing decisions.

Realize the power of decision making. Before you start making a decision, you have to understand what a decision does. 1. When you decide to pick up a cigarette to smoke it, that decision might result in your picking up one after one later on to get that same high feeling.

Carry your decision out. It’s pointless to make a decision and just keep it in your head 2. If you want to make real changes in life, you have to apply action to your decision until it’s completed.

Tell others about your decisions. Telling other people what we’re going to do can make us follow through. For example, if you decide to become an early riser, you can go to a forum and tell people that you will wake up at 6 a.m. and keep on it. 3.

Learn from your past decisions. It’s common that you are going to mess up at times when it comes to making decisions. 4. Ask yourself what is good or bad about your decision and what you will do to make a better decision next time.

5. For example, if you made the decision to lose ten pounds by next month through aerobics (有氧运动). You don’t have to just do aerobics. You can be open to losing weight through different methods of dieting as long as it helps you reach your goal in the end.

A.Maintain a flexible approach.

B.Enjoy the process of making decisions.

C.That’s the same as not making a decision at all.

D.It always takes a lot of time to make a decision.

E.Any decision that you make causes a chain of events to happen.

F.So, instead of beating yourself up over it, learn a lesson from it.

G.You’re able to accomplish this because you feel it an obligation to keep your word.
