Travel journal*閱讀理解In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the childs acquisition of each new skill-the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child: This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.Patents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe over times of ing home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the munity as much as the childs own happiness.As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality. Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practice what they teach, their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.1.Eagerly watching the childs acquisition of new skills _.A. should be avoidedB.is universal among parentsC. sets up dangerous states of worry in the childD. will make him lose interest in learning new things2.In the process of childrens learning new skills, parents _.A. should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they readB. should not expect too much of themC. should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their ownD. should create as many learning opportunities as possible3.The second paragraph mainly tells us that _.A. parents should be strict with their childrenB. parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of the munityC. parental restrictions vary, and are not always intended for the benefit of the children aloneD. parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation4.In moral matters, parents should _.A. observe the rules themselvesB.be aware of the marked difference between adults and childrenC. forbid things which have no foundation in moralityD. consistently ensure the security of their children 【文章大意】在孩子的成長過程中，父母的教育與期望值要有一個“度”，不能揠苗助長；同時，父母也要以身作則，為孩子樹立一個榜樣。1.B 【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段開頭的“In bringing up children，every parent watches eagerly the childs acquisition of each new skill”可知，既然是每位父母都會這樣做，那么這種做法在父母中就是普遍的，故選B。3.C 【解析】主旨大意題。文章第二段的大意是“父母對孩子的嚴格程度有很大的不同”。故選C。4.A 【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段第四句“If they are not sincere and do not practice”及文章最后一段可以得出結(jié)論，關(guān)于道德教育問題，父母應該以身作則，做孩子的好榜樣，故選A。*語法填空Over the years, I have met some interesting people.

I clearly remember he was quite fat two years . He got tired so that he couldnt take exercise, made him very upset. Later, he realized he went on like that, he would end up nothing. So he made up his to make a change. He went running every morning and played basketball every afternoon. Besides, he followed a diet of more vegetables less meat. Gradually he began to lose weight. He is now an energetic boy in good health. So when faced with problems, we should overe with great determination and strong willpower.難項分析：第一處：changed前加has考查動詞的時態(tài)。根據(jù)時間狀語in the past two years可知，此處表示從過去開始發(fā)生的動作，并對現(xiàn)在造成了影響。因此，應用現(xiàn)在完成時。故在changed前加has。第二處：beforeago考查副詞。before指從過去某刻起若干時間以前，常與完成時連用，ago指從此刻起若干時間以前，常與過去時連用。根據(jù)上下文可知，此處講述的是過去的事情，故將before改為ago。第五處：unlessif考查連詞?！癶e went on like that (他繼續(xù)像那樣)”是“he would end up . nothing”的條件，因此應用if引導條件狀語從句。故將unless改為if。*
