      Learning to understand your mother well is what you should do. Here are the best steps towards a better relationship with her. They are not necessarily surprising,but they have worked for many people. Try them. 

      Remember your mother's age.

      As children,we often do not think of our mother as having an age. Knowing our mother's age,not just in numbers of years but in terms of her psychological (心理上的) and physicaK生理的) state,often helps us to understand her better.

      Listen to your mother.

      I have found that sometimes the things my mother told me long ago are pretty useful. If you respect her point of view,even if you do not share it,it will help your mother feel close to you.

      Ask your mother about your childhood history.

      If you are lucky enough to have living family,think of your life as a jigsaw puzzle and ask as many questions as you can to put the picture together. Understanding your roots and your childhood can help you know more clearly who you are,as part of afamilywhichyousharewithyourmother.

      Taking any measure to understand our mother is the topic of how we understand ourselves. We should follow the way of her life. When we are able to accept our mother—with all her failings,we can understand her better and it can also help us to know about our shortcomings. Remember that understanding our mother is really about understanding ourselves.

根据短文内容,回答下列问题。

1. Should we learn to understand our mother well?

2. What can help us understand our mother better?

3. How do we make our mother feel close to us?

4. Why do we ask our mother about our childhood history?

      Before I begin my story,I would like to tell you a little about myself.

      I was born in the year 1632,in the city of York in the north of England. My father was German,but he came to live and work in England. My mother was English. Her family name was Robinson,so, when I was born,they called me Robinson,after her.

      My father did well in his business and I went to a good school. He wanted me to get a good job and live a quiet,comfortable life. But I didn't want that. I wanted adventure and an exciting life.

     “I want to be a sailor and go to sea,” I told my mother and father. They were very unhappy about this.

     “Please don't go”’ my father said. “You won’t be happy,you know. Sailors have a difficult and dangerous life.” And because I loved him,and he was unhappy,I tried to forget about the sea.

      But I couldn’t forget,and about a year later,I saw a friend in town. His father had a ship,and my friend said to me ,“We’re sailing to London tomorrow. Why don't you come with us?”

      And so,on September 1st,1651,I went to Hull,and the next day we sailed for London.

      But,a few days later,there was a strong wind. The sea was dangerous,and the ship went up and down,up and down. I was very ill,and very afraid.

      “Oh,I don't want to die!” I cried “I want to live!If I live,I'll go home and never go to sea again!”

       The next day the wind dropped,and the sea was quiet and beautiful again.

      “Well,Bob ,” my friend laughed “How do you feel now? The wind wasn’t too bad. ”

      “What!” I cried. “It was a krrzWe stornL ”

      “Oh,that wasn’t a storm ,” my friend answered. “Just a little wind. Forget it. Come and have a drink.”

       After a few drinks with my friend,I felt better. I forgot about the danger and decided not to go home. I didn't want my friends and family to laugh at me!

      When we watch the sports match,we often see it happen—tennis players jump over the net to shake hands after a hard match;football players exchange jerseysafter ninety minutes of knocking each other around;even boxers touch gloves at the beginning of each round. Players in every event,from spelling bees to golf,act in this way. It’s all part of sportsmanship ,a great tradition in sports and competition. It means playing and being calm all through the match.

     Everyone feels great when they win. In the last few years,you might see some players celebrate a goalwith a long victory dance or talk about their ability. However,it’s always hard for people to say in public that they made a bad play. Good sportsmanship is what they really need. It's the golden rule of sports.

     Good sportsmanship means that you play by the rules,talk politely to everyone during games and stay cool even when you lose the game. At the school sports meeting,for example,it's more important for you to know how to work as part of a team and cheer your teammates on. That may help you enjoy more success at your future work. In competition——as in life——you may not always win,but believe me , sportsmanship will help you get through,and there is always the next match.

() 1. What match do you know will last ninety minutes?

   A. Tennis. B. Football.

   C. Golf. D. Spelling.

() 2. The underlined word “bees” in the passage means .

   A. fly   B. competition
