Now that I am no longer young, I have friends whose mothers have passed away. I have heard these sons and daughters say they never fully appreciated their mothers 1 it was too late to tell them. I am blessed with the dear mother who is still alive. I 2 her more each day. My mother does not change, but I 3. As I grow older and wiser, I realize 4 an exceptional person she is. How 5 that I am unable to speak these words in her 6, but they flow easily from my pen.
How does a daughter begin to thank her mother for life itself? For the love, patience and just 7 hard work that go into 8 a child? For running after a toddler (學(xué)走步的小孩), for understanding a 9 teenager, for tolerating (忍受;容忍) a college student who knows 10 ? For waiting for the day when a daughter 11 how wise her mother really is?
How does a 12 woman thank a mother for 13 to be a mother? For being ready 14 advice (when asked) or remaining 15 when it is most appreciated? For not saying, “I told you so,” when she could have uttered these words 16? For being 17 herself-loving, thoughtful, patient, and forgiving?
I don’t know how, dear God, except to ask you to bless her as richly as she 18 and to help me live up to the example she has 19. I pray that I will look as good in the eyes of my children as my mother 20 in mine.

The first time I decided to leave home was when 1 was in high schoo1.1 was having trouble getting along will my parents.I had about a hundred dollars in my pocket,and so I thought about leaving home, It took me 6my three weeks away from home when I stared to feel homesick. Living on my own is a totally different experience for three main reasons:being more responsible, more decisive and more creative
First of all,I have learned that living on my own requires that I become more responsible.My parents usually tell me to carry out my work and duties almost every day.men I fail to do the work,I only get scolded. However now that I am on my own,I get to deal with my duties without being told to.When I fail to do my duties,I must also deal with the result by myself
Another different experience for me while living on my own is that now I have become more decisive. ·I have to be more careful since I am on my own because my parents are not here to give me their advice. I must make my own decisions.For example,I must make the best decisions for myself without hurting anybody’s feelings and without my parents,guidance.
Therefore,I became more creative just by living on my own.I could make my own future plan-l have made rules for myself to follow.This to me is a good experience,because I usually think that being creative is the.nicest thing in the world.However, when 1 was with my parents
l found it hard for me to be creative simply because I always followed their ideas.
In conclusion,these are the things that usually happen when I am with my parents and when I am alone. Besides,I think that it is better for everyone to love their parents and themselyes before they love anyone else.They should leam how to live on their own. but meanwhile learn how to follow every technique that was given to them by their Parents.They can make use of their freedom of choice to lead to wherever they want。

科目:高中英語 來源:2013年全國普通高等學(xué)校招生統(tǒng)一考試英語(新課標I卷解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

It happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was ,in his words, “a brilliantly(精彩地)written book”. However, he then went on to talk about Mr Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.

And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t. In the World Book Day’s “Report on Guilty Secrets”, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading, and as I’m not one to lie too often (I’d hate to be caught out ),I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire top ten . But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984. I think it’s really brilliant.

The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky(I haven’t read him, but haven’t lied about it either )and Herman Melville.

Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in –depth!

But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J. k. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words). Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story(I’ll come clean: I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).

1.How did the author find his friend a book liar?

A.By judging his manner of speaking.

B.By looking into his background.

C.By mentioning a famous name.

D.By discussing the book itself.

2.Which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the World Book Day report?

A.Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list.

B.42% of people pretended to have read 1984.

C.The author admitted having read 9 books.

D.Dreams From My Father is hardly read.

3.By lying about reading, a person hopes to.

A.control the conversation

B.a(chǎn)ppear knowledgeable

C.learn about the book

D.make more friends

4.What is the author’s attitude to 58%of readers?

A.Favorable.

B.Uncaring

C.Doubtful

D.Friendly
