One night，when I was eight，my mother gently asked me a question I would never forget. "Sweetie，my company wants to 16 me but needs me to work in Brazil. This is like your teacher telling you that you've done 17 and allowing you to skip a grade（跳级），but you'll have to 18 your friends. Would you say yes to your teacher?" She gave me a hug and asked me to think about it. I was puzzled. The question kept me 19 for the rest of the night. I had said "yes" but for the first time，I realized the 20 decisions adults had to make.

For almost four years，my mother would call us from Brazil every day. Every evening I’d21 wait for the phone to ring and then tell her every detail of my day. A phone call，however，could never replace her 22 and it was difficult not to feel lonely at times．

During my fourth-grade Christmas break，we flew to Rio to visit her. Looking at her large 23 apartment，I became 24 how lonely my mother must have been in Brazil herself. It was then 25 I started to appreciate the tough choices she had to make on 26 family and work. 27 difficult decisions，she used to tell me，you wouldn't know whether you made the right choice，but you could always make the best out of the situation，with passion and a 28 attitude.

Back home，I 29 myself that what my mother could do，I could，too. If she __30 to live in Rio all by herself，I，too，could learn to be 31 ．I learnt how to take care of myself and set high but achievable 32 ．

My mother is now back with us. But I will never forget what the 33 has really taught me. Sacrifices 34 in the end. The separation between us has proved to be a ___35 for me.

A

Before I had my son, I spent two years working with children with disabilities. I learned that shouting and threats of punishment would result in a disaster. Coming up against their behavior could only make the job harder and their behavior more extreme. I found something that worked, though.

There was a very naughty boy in the nursery and a teacher who was generally very confident with the children was asked to take charge of him. One day the boy joined a session in the room next to mine. His appearance created an atmosphere of tension. He spent the entire session running around, hitting and kicking, and destroying property.

I was in the craft room working with some other children when my co-worker told me that this boy’s teacher was in tears, and could not get control of the situation. As we were talking, the boy ran in. I told my co-worker that I would take care of him.

I closed the door. He was full of energy, throwing things around and making a huge mess. But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me. He needed connection, and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it. So I sat back down and kept quiet. Then he slowed down and began making a rocket. I talked to him about it. We continued like this for a few minutes before I slipped into the conversation:

“So what happened today?”

It was purely a question, no blame or anger in my tone. I believe that if I had criticized him, the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed. He told me that the teacher didn’t let him do what he knew well due to safety but asked him to do what he disliked. He also admitted that he had enjoyed making her run around and saw it as a game. I explained that his teacher had not seen it as a game and was very upset. This again was stated simply as a fact. I suggested that next time he had a session, he talk about what he hoped to do at the start, which might be easier for everyone. He agreed and was quiet for a moment. Then he looked at me with tears in his eyes before quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher to apologize.

36. The boy made trouble for his teacher because he ______.

A. was accused of destroying property

B. was told not to yell at other children

C. was made to do things against his will

D. was blamed for creating an air of tension

37. Why didn’t the author do anything about the boy’s bad behavior at first?

A. She didn’t want to make it worse.

B. She didn’t mind the huge mess at all.

C. She was tired of shouting and threats.

D. She hadn’t thought of a coping strategy.

38. The author managed to get the boy to talk to her by ______.

A. playing games with him

B. giving him a good suggestion

C. describing his teacher’s feelings

D. avoiding making critical remarks

39. Why did the boy have tears in his eyes in the end?

A. He was sorry about his reputation.

B. He was regretful about his behavior.

C. He was fe arful of the author’s warning.

D. He was sad for the author’s misunderstanding.

B

People aren't walking any more—if they can figure out a way to avoid it.

I felt superior about this matter until the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel. The journey is a matter of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I wasn't in any hurry，either. I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness：motorosis．

It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune（免疫的），for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs. At that time，we regarded 25 miles as a good day's walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as a sign of strength and skill.It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship.And the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old I raced—and beat—a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Statue of Liberty.

Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart. But a

well-known British physician，Sir Adolphe Abrahams，pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercise. A person who avoids exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly. And walking is an ideal form of exercise—the most familiar and natural of all.

It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The man walking can learn the trees,flowers，insects，birds and animals，the significance of seasons, the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world. He cannot learn in a car.

The car is a convenient means of transport，but we have made it our way of life．Many people don't dare to approach Nature any more；to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat. To them security is a steel river thundering on a concrete road. And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.

I say that the green of forests is the mind's best light. And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.

40．What is the national sickness?

A．Walking too much. B．Traveling too much.

C．Driving cars too much. D．Climbing stairs too much.

41．What was life like when the author was young?

A．People usually went around on foot. B．People often walked 25 miles a day.

C．People used to climb the Statue of Liberty.D．People considered a ten-hour walk as a hardship.

42．The author mentions Henry Thoreau to prove that＿＿＿.

A．middle-aged people like getting back to nature B．walking in nature helps enrich one's mind C．people need regular exercise to keep fit D．going on foot prevents heart disease

43．What is compared to “a steel river” in Paragraph 6?

A．A queue of cars. B．A ray of traffic light. C．A flash of lightning. D．A stream of people．44．What is the author's intention of writing this passage?

A．To tell people to reflect more on life. B．To recommend people to give up driving.

C．To advise people to do outdoor activities. D．To encourage people to return to walking.
