I really hadn’t meant to yell(吼叫)at them.But that grey afternoon saw it just as my son and daughter were making a terrible mess on the floor in the kitchen.
With a tiresome report to write,I felt bothered at my desk.Suddenly, it occurred to me that my kids were at fault.A voice inside me insisted that I do something quickly.
“OK,you two here.but what an awful thing you are attempting!” shouting angrily, I made for them, while it became evident that the boy wanted no part of me.“Get away from us!” he shouted back,there being expression of support from his sister.
All of a sudden,I found the fault in myself.Quickly I shaped my hands into pincers(螃蟹螯)and crawled towards them,“Crabby(似螃蟹的)Daddy is here Ha,Ha,Ha,he likes to yell at children,and then eat them!” My son continued to keep me away,but now he was laughing and crying at the same time.My mission to repair the damage caused by my yelling seemed to work well.Still,I regretted not having controlled myself first in a right way that my children could do after.
Need I let them know how badly they were acting by blaming? This is a lesson that serves myself.It only shows just how to get rid of something(ill-feelings,responsibility)by blaming others.It’s not my “best self”.
We have to search for our “best self” when with our children.They don’t need perfect parents,but they do need parents who are always trying to get better.Here,I’m reminded of the words of a great thinker,“When a man lives with God,his voice shall be as sweet as the murmur of the brook…” Then,in our lifetime,couldn’t we always speak to our kids in such a sweet voice since,most of us consider them as the most precious in the world? And before we reach this level,what should we do when we come across various difficult cases with our children?  
小題1:The author couldn’t help yelling at his kids this time probably because______.
A.the weather was so unpleasantB.a(chǎn) Daddy has his right to do so
C.the kids didn’t ask him to join themD.he was tired of his boring work
小題2:Which of the following made the author aware of his fault?
A.No obvious reason.B.The children’s reaction.
C.His self-control.D.The mess made by the children.
小題3:According to the passage the author will   in another similar situation.
A.play a crab again like this timeB.a(chǎn)pologize to kids in a sincere way
C.a(chǎn)void blaming kids in a hurryD.beat them up about such things
小題4:What will the writer go on to write about in the next paragraph(s)?
A.How to behave ourselves properly when kids are at fault.
B.How to blame our children in a more interesting way.
C.How to deal with the terrible mess made by our kids.
D.How to persuade children to do what they are told to.

A friend and I were standing in line at the grocery store the other day, and I was telling her how lazy my children were.I had come in from work that morning, and like most times, my house was wrecked.
“I believe children nowadays are just out for what they can get.They can never help keep our house clean.” I said, feeling unhappy.
“Do you know how happy you are?” a woman behind us asked.“I would love to go home and find my house a mess.I wouldn’t mind my floor being dirty.Nor would I mind the dirty clothes being piled high.I wouldn’t even mind anyone talking about my dirty home.I would love it.I would love to kick my way through the house just to get to my kids and be able to hug them, kiss them and tell them how much I love them.You see, my two children were killed in an accident. My house stays clean; my clothes stay put up; the dishes are done.”
“There are no fingerprints on my walls.There are no sounds of arguing, either.So you see, you are very lucky.I would give anything to be going through what you are now! How I’d love to be able to hold my kids, wipe away their tears and share their dreams! I wouldn’t care how my house looked.I would be happy just to have them.”

The soldiers had just moved to the desert, and as they had never been in such a place before, they had a lot to learn.
As there were no trees or buildings in the desert, it was, of course, very hard to hide their trucks from enemy planes. The soldiers were, therefore, given training in camouflage. They were shown how to paint their trucks in irregular patterns with pale green, yellow, and brown paints, and then to cover them with nets to which they had tied small pieces of cloth.
The driver of the biggest truck had a lot of trouble camouflaging it. He spent several hours painting it, preparing a net and searching for some heavy rocks with which to hold the net down. When it was all finished, he went for lunch.
When he came back from his meal, he was surprised and worried to see that his camouflage was completely spoilt by the truck’s shadow, which was growing longer and longer as the afternoon advanced. He stood looking at it, not knowing what to do.
Soon an officer arrived, and he, too, saw the shadow, of course.
“Well,” he shouted to the poor driver, “What are you going to do about it? If an enemy plane comes over, the pilot will at once know that there is a truck there.”
“I know, sir,” answered the soldier.
“Well, don’t just stand there doing nothing!” said the officer.
“What shall I do, sir?” asked the poor driver.
“Get your spade and throw some sand over the shadow, of course!” answered the officer.
小題1:From this passage you can know ________.
A.there were a lot of trees where the soldiers were stationed

A.The nets with which they covered their trucks were made of small pieces of cloth.
B.The soldiers tied small pieces of cloth to the nets with which they covered their trucks.
C.The nets covering the trucks were painted pale green, yellow and brown.
D.The trucks were tied to the nets with small pieces of cloth.
小題3:The soldier was surprised and worried because ________.
A.his truck had cast a shadow in the sun and the enemy plane would find it.
B.the shadow of his truck was growing longer at noon
C.it was late in the afternoon, and he could not get rid of the shadow
D.his newly-painted truck was in the shadow
小題4: What do you think of the ending of the story?
A.It is quite reasonable that the officer ordered the soldier to cover the shadow with sand.
B.We’ll laugh at the officer’s order because it is where the humor lies.
C.Though the officer’s order sounded wise, the soldier couldn’t cover the shadow.
D.The soldier managed to cover the shadow with sand

Do you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be simple fact? Do you argue whether it’s cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit?
If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant. The first blind man who felt the elephant’s trunk said it was like a snake. The second who felt the elephant’s side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear as he touched the animal’s tusk. The fourth, who got hold of the elephant’s tail insisted that it was like a rope. The fifth man said it looked like a tree as he put his arms around one of the elephant’s legs. The sixth, who was tall and got hold of the elephant’s ears, said it was like a huge fan.
Each man’s idea of the animal came from his own experience. So if someone disagrees with you about a “simple fact”, it’s often because his experience in the matter is different from yours.
To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a “simple fact”, try this simple experiment. Get three large bowls. Put ice water in one. Put hot water in the second. Put lukewarm water in the third. Now put your left hand in the ice water. Put your right hand in the hot water. After thirty seconds, put both hands in the lukewarm water. Your right hand will tell you the water is cold. Your left hand will tell you it’s hot!
小題1: What makes people think about simple facts differently?
A.The fact that simple facts differ from one another.
B.The fact that people have different experience in the same simple fact.
C.The fact that people often disagree with one another.
D.The fact that it’s hard to make up one’s mind about simple facts.
小題2:Which of the following temperatures can the word “l(fā)ukewarm” be applied to?
A.Around 1℃B.Above 60℃C.Around 25℃D.Below 0℃
小題3:After reading the last paragraph, we may think of       .
A.Newton’s lawB.Gallileo’s theory of falling objects
C.Einstein’s theory of relativityD.Marx’s On Capital
小題4:The main idea of this passage is        .
A.people often judge something according to his own experience
B.people often agree about simple facts
C.it’s hard for a person to make up his mind about a simple fact
D.don’t care too much about simple facts
