17、9 here,“ I said after a while. “Is there love between you and Dad?“ I asked her in a very 40 voice. Mom stopped her work and raised her head with 41 in her eyes. She didnt answer immediately. She bent her head and continued to sew the quilt. I was 42 if I had hurt her. I was in great embarrassment a
18、nd I was at a loss what to do. But at last she said, very 43 , “Susan, look at this 44 . Sometimes it appears but most of it disappears in the quilt.

19、side.“ I listened carefully but couldnt understand her until years later.One day, Dad accidentally got 47 while on duty. Ever since then he could no longer 48 properly. Every morning and dusk, Mom would help Dad walk slowly on the country road. Along the country road, there were beautiful 6flowers,
20、green grass and trees. The leaves were gently glistening(闪亮) 49 the sun shining upon them. All of these made up the most beautiful 50 in the world. “Dad, how are you feeling now?“ I asked him one day. “Susan, dont worry about me,“ he said gently. “I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind
21、of life.“ Looking into his eyes, I 51 what he meant. The doctor had said Dad would 52 in two months. But that day never came.

Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mom, I cant peel potatoes. I have only one hand.”Mom never looked up from sewing. “You get yourself into
26、 that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me. “And dont ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shoo
27、k my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.That night I told Mom about it. She hugged me, and I saw her “well see about that” look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she
28、 advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow. Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung I reached. Ill never forget the next time, crossing the rungs, I looked down at the kids who were standing with their
29、mouths open.One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mom come into my room. “Mom,” I said, weeping, “none of the boys would dance with me.”For a long time, I didnt hear anything. Then she said, “Oh, honey, someday youll be beating those boys off with a bat.”
30、 Her voice was faint. I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks. Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf. She had never let me see her tears.56. Which of the following expressions can be used most suitably to describe Moms attitude when she made the child peel potatoes?
31、8A. Cruel. B. Serious. C. Cold. D. Strict57. What does the sentence “I saw her well see about that look” imply?A. Mom believed every aim could be achieved if you stuck to it.B. The race across monkey bars was not difficult enough for a child to give up.C. Mom was determined to prove she herself was
32、better than the teacher.D. What the child had said brought Mom great attraction and curiosity.58.

33、hey were astonished to find the authors progressD. they wanted to see what the author would do on the bars59.

34、ld solve any problem except the one in the last paragraphD. in fact Mom suffered more in the process of the childs growth BDo you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give
35、 you a false pictureFor example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”This guy is a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $ 200 worth of tick
36、ets, and only one was a winner. Hes really a big loser!9He didnt say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. Thats called a half-truth. Half truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Some politicians often use this trick. Lets say that during
37、Governor Smiths last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents says, “During Governor Smiths term, the state lost one million jobs!” Thats true. However, an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smiths term, th
38、e state had a net gain of two million jobs.Advertisers will sometimes use halftruths. Its against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache. ”It fails t
39、o mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.This kind of deception happens too often.

42、. Advertisers will sometimes use half truthsD. Its against the law to make false statementsCParents should stop blaming themselves because there s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasona
43、ble and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.Ive seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when 1
44、called round. Sprawling himself (懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I don t know what to do with him these days,“ she said. “He s forgotten all t
45、he manners we taught him.”He hasnt forgotten them. He s just decided that he s not going to use them. She confessed (坦白 ) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach ac
46、ross the table, stare at me and say, “I don t like your dress; it s ugly. “ One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school.
