    It's common for parents to feel emotional when the moment comes for their child to leave home and go to university. Even parents who don't speak about the event are likely to feel a sense of sadness because it’s the end of an era where you and your family were at the centre of your child's world. As a parent you’ll probably continue to support your child in different ways, but the main job of raising your child is over. It's a huge change for everyone involved.
    There are a few things that you can do to make the transition easier. Plan carefully for your child's departure and think about how you can help. Many parents take their child to university for the first time. If you decide to do that, be ready to feel a real wrench when the time comes to say goodbye. Your child will probably be as nervous as you are about the moment when you finally say goodbye – but that might not show!
    Be positive and cheerful about the choice your child has made to continue studying, and plan to leave once you've unpacked the car and looked around your child's new living accommodations. If you can, save your tears for the car – you'll make things easier on your child and yourself.
    The more you've invested in being a parent, the more you'll feel a sense of loss, so the sadness you feel now is a sign that you've been a good mom or dad. Remind yourself that parenting is all about raising an independent and confident child who functions well without you. If your child quickly settles and starts enjoying himself, you should congratulate yourself.
    It's also only fair to allow yourself some time to grieve(悲痛). Don't expect to pick yourself up and move on straight away. But you may decide to find a hobby or sport to fill your extra time. Perhaps you've always wanted to learn a new language, go to yoga classes or take up swimming. You may decide to spend more time with family and close friends, who are likely to be feeling the absence of your child as well.
    Agree on the best approach to staying in touch before your child leaves, and stick to your agreement. Try not to panic if your child doesn't respond immediately – remember, they're starting a new and busy life.
    小题1:Why do parents feel sad when their child leaves home for college?
    A．Because the absence of their child makes them feel lonely.
    B．Because their children will start a new life in college.
    C．Because it means the end of love between parents and their child.
    D．Because they are no longer the main focus of their children’s life.
    小题2:The underlined word “wrench” in Paragraph 2 means a feeling of ________.
    A．sorrowB．regret C．angerD．love

    A．Supporting your child in different ways all the time.
    B．Congratulating yourself when your child goes to college.
    C．Preparing your child to stand on their own feet in the future.
    D．Investing as much as possible in the growth of your child.

    A．Developing a new hobby or sport
    B．Learning a new language.

    Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “ being a writer” and “ writing”. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a computer. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer.”
    The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the US Coast Guard to become a free writer, I had no promise at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used computer and felt a real writer.
    After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I know I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering. What if?  I would keep putting my dream to the test--- even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.
    小题1:The passage is meant to _______.
    A．warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience
    B．advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer
    C．show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to be after wealth and fame
    D．encourage young people to be after a writer career
    小题2:What can be concluded from the passage?
    A．Real writers often find their work interesting and rewarding
    B．Writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort
    C．Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation（隔离）
    D．The chances for a writer to become successful are small
    小题3:Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?
    A．He wasn’t able to produce a single book
    B．He hadn’t seen a change for the better
    C．He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year
    D．He found his dream would never come true
    小题4: “Shadowland” in the last sentence refers to _____. 
    A．thewonderlandonoftendreamsabout
    B．thebrightfuturethatoneislookingforwardto
    C．thestateofuncertaintybeforeone’sfinalgoalisreached
    D．aworldthatexistsonlyinone’simagination

    Looking back on my childhood. I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon  abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.    
    Before Word War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large  family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal clear memory of dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and above all, the insects.  
    I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil reading about other people’s observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle. Because it all seems to fit together .This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books. Which some may light honor, with the title of scientific research.  
    But curiosity a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist? One of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist can be made a naturalist. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds. 
    小题1:According to the author, a born naturalist should first of all be _____
    A．full of ambitionB．self-disciplined
    C．full of enthusiasmD．knowledgeable
    小题2:The first paragraph tells us that the author _____
    A．lost his hearing when he was a child
    B．didn’t like his brothers and sisters
    C．was interested in flowers and insects in his childhood
    D．was born to a naturalist’s family
    小题3:The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he ____.
    A．just rends about other peoples observations and discoveries.
    B．Lacks some of the qualities required of scientist.
    C．Has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmetic.
    D．Come up with solutions in most natural ways.
    小题4:The author can’t remember him relatives clearly because__
    A．He didn’t live very long with them
    B．He was too young when he lived with them.
    C．The family was extremely large
    D．He was fully occupied with observing nature.
    小题5:Which of the following statements is true?
    A．The author believes that a born naturalist can not be scientist.
    B．The author read a lot of books about the natural world and oil industry
    C．The author’s brothers and sisters were good at music and languages.
    D．The author spent a lot of time working on riddles.

    This Mother’s Day will be the 8th year I have spent without my own mother. She passed away less than a month before Mother’s Day in the year 2000. She had been ill for almost two years, and I didn’t cry when she died, or at her funeral, but on that first Mother’s Day without her. On that day, I realized that this person I loved and depended on was gone forever.
    She still lives in family memories, in the thoughts of her friends and co-workers, in the values she had instilled(灌输) in her children, and in the lovely flower gardens that she had so carefully tended.
    She loved her gladioli and irises. Each fall she would dig the bulbs out of the soil and carefully wrap them in paper. The bulbs would be stored until the following spring when they would be replanted. It seemed like a lot of effort to me, but each year her flower garden was more glorious than the year before. She put the same hard work into caring for her family, instilling in her children a sense of justice and fair play, compassion, and strong moral values so that we blossomed.
    Share anecdotes about your mother’s life at your Mother’s Day party. Too often, we avoid speaking of those loved ones who have passed away, fearful that we will unearth sad feelings. It doesn’t have to be that way. Sharing fond memories and stories of the life we shared with her can be a healing process that binds（捆绑）the family together.
    My mother passed away when her oldest grandchild was only eight years old. Children will enjoy sharing pictures and stories of the grandmother they may have never known or have little memory of. Sharing anecdotes to pass on to the next generation will give children a feeling of family history and continuity, and may be one of the best ways to honor our mothers and grandmothers who have gone before us.
    小题1:What does the underlined words “passed away” ( in Paragraph 1)mean?
    A．diedB．continuedC．startedD．lasted
    小题2:On the first Mother’s Day after mum died the author realized_______ .
    A．mum had been dead for a long time B．mum had suffered a lot from the illness
    C．it was true that mum had been dead D．it was impossible to depend on mum
    小题3:From the third paragraph we can infer that mum_______ .
    A．loved her gladioli and irisesB．showed kindness to all her children
    C．taught the children to plant patientlyD．had a good influence on the author
    小题4:At the Mother’s Day party people don’t mention their lost mums only because_______ .
    A．they are simply afraid of causing sad feelings
    B．they have forgotten their mums completely
    C．they don’t love their mums any longer
    D．they think their mums have passed away
    小题5:In order to show honor to our mothers and grandmothers we can _____ .
    A．spend the Mother’s Day with our children
    B．share the stories of them with the children
    C．hold the Mother’s Day party every year
    D．plant beautiful flowers in the family garden
