30、r Aniston.（分数：25.00）_正确答案：(毫无疑问，Jennifez Senior 在有深刻见解的、煽动性的杂志封面故事中表达了她的想法“我爱我的孩子，我讨厌我的生活”，此想法引来很多议论。谈到养孩子，人们就会觉得是件完全令人高兴、生活充实的事情。Jennifer Senior 没有指出抚养孩子会使父母快乐还是痛苦，而是建议我们需要重新定义幸福：我们不应该认为幸福是可以衡量的瞬间快乐的组合，而应该把它看成一种过去的状态。尽管每天抚养孩子的经历是那么难熬，但 Jennifer Senior在故事中说，“正是那些使我们心情沮丧的时刻，日后却成了快乐的源泉”。杂志的封面是一位怀抱可爱婴儿
31、的魅力母亲(麦当娜和婴儿)，此封面在这周的杂志上不可能成为唯一的“圣母和圣子”的形象。杂志上还有好多关于最近刚收养孩子的母亲，刚变成单身的母亲，如桑德拉布洛克，以及常见的“詹妮弗安尼斯顿怀孕了”的故事。实际上，每周至少有一位名人母亲或准妈妈微笑地出现在杂志上。在一个一直庆祝生育的社会，承认后悔生孩子就像承认支持杀小猫一样，这难道不值得反思吗?把父母和孩子的后悔作比较，这看上去并不公平。没人会让不想抚养孩子的父母去反思自己是否不该养孩子，但那些不幸福的没孩子的人却为这样的事情所困扰：“孩子是世上唯一最重要的东西”，很显然，他们的痛苦必须通过生儿育女才能解除。当然，像美国周刊与人物这样的名人杂志展
32、示的父母形象是非常不现实的，特别是当父母是单亲妈妈时更是如此，就像布洛克。根据多项研究结果，有孩子的父母不如没孩子的夫妇快乐，单亲父母是最不快乐的。不要对此感到震惊，想一想，没有人依靠，自己抚养一个孩子需要做多少工作啊!但是，听听桑德拉和布兰妮说的话，“自己养孩子，简直小菜一碟!”(她们当然认为容易了，因为她们周围有群人帮忙。)很难想象，许多人很愚蠢地想生孩子，只是因为Reese 和 Angelina使这种事情变得看起来很光彩，其实大多数成年人了解养孩子可不像剪头发那么容易。但是，反思一下：我们每周看到的没压力、幸福地为人父母的例子会不会潜意识里加剧我们对实际生活的不满。这就好像：我们有一种想

45、y special tools at all -just a willing worker.（分数：25.00）_正确答案：(这是一张典型的史努比卡片：带着愉悦的文字和明亮的颜色，如今已有点发黄褪色。尽管过去几年，我都会收到一些既精美又昂贵的卡片，但是这张卡片却是我保存下来的唯一的一张。我在一个夏天收到它，它对我有着不寻常的意义。我是在变成寡妇的第一年的六月收到这张卡片的，当时我需要独自抚养两个十几岁的女儿。突然变成单身母亲，我无可逃避地需要处理许多问题，即使是最简单的家务：水龙头漏水、换煤气、甚至是烧烤。这些一直都是我丈夫的事情。每当我的拇指被锤头碰伤或者不能开动割草机的时候，我就会感到很困
46、窘。我那靠不住的行为引起了我内心的恐惧：对我的孩子们来说，我怎么可能承担起既当父亲又当母亲的责任呢?很明显，我缺乏必要的工具和技能。那是一个特别的早上，我的女儿们把我推到了卧室看点东西。(我祈祷着别又是修理工作)。那个“东西”是地毯上的一个包装好的一个信封。我看看那多彩的包装，又盯向女儿们红润的脸颊，一脸的茫然。“去把它打开。”他们催促我。在我把包装打开之后，我发现一个小烧烤架以及其它一些必备的东西和一副印有青蛙图案的绿色厨房手套。“怎么回事呢?”我迷惑了。“父亲节快乐!”他们喊道。“妈妈在父亲节不收礼物的。”我抗议道。“您忘了打开卡片。”简提醒我说。我把卡片从信封里拉出来，上面画着一个坐在狗
47、舍上面的史努比，高兴地说祝我父亲节快乐。“因为，”女孩们说道，“您对我们来说既是妈妈又是爸爸，在父亲节我们怎么可能想不起您来呢?”我忍住即将流下的泪水，意识到他们说的是对的。我想要成为一名“专业”爸爸，哪有人有最新的工具和职业中的所有窍门呢?孩子们想要的是一个能够依靠的家长，并能够从中日复一日地得到最基本的照顾和爱心。现在孩子们长大了，她们仍然送我父亲节卡片。但是没有一个卡片对我来说像第一张有意义。上面简单的信息告诉了我，做一个伟大的家长根本就不需要特殊的工具，只要心甘情愿就好。)解析：1Though Ive received fancier，more expensive card over the years，this is the only one Ive saved本名的主句是“this is the only one Ive saved”，其中“Ive saved”是省略了关联词 that的定语从句，修饰先行词 one。连词 though引导的是让步状语从句。尽管过去几年，我都会收到一些既精美又昂贵的卡片，但是这张卡片却是我保存下来的唯一的一张。2My puzzlement must have been plain as I gazed from the colorful packages to my daughtersbrigh
