Family Values
To understand a nation, you should first get to know its minimum unit-family.1.
In the US, upon reaching an appropriate age, children are encouraged, but not forced, to “l(fā)eave the nest” and begin an independent life.2. Parents do not arrange marriages for their children, nor do children usually ask permission of their parents to get married.Young adults meet their future spouses(配偶)through other friends, at jobs, and in organizations and religious institutions.Although children choose their own spouses, they still hope their parents will approve of their choices.
Parents feel that children should make major life decisions by themselves in many families.A parent may try to influence a child to follow a particular profession but the child is free to choose another job.3. A son may deliberately decide not to go into his father’s business because of a fear that he will lose his independence in his father’s workplace.This independence from parents is not an indication that parents and children do not love each other.Strong love between parents and children is universal and this is no exception in the American family.
4. It is not like we Chinese.Parents are rulers and masters.We Chinese love our parents with fear and total respect.In America, children always have their own opinions and even can talk about some sensitive problems with their parents, like family financial situation, the relationship between mother and father, and even sex.
5. Therefore, it is contrary that, on one hand, Americans admire independence and equality that they don’t want to make sacrifice to make up a family, but on the other hand, Americans thing highly of family in their value system.
A.In the American family, children and parents are equal.
B.It can reflect the traditional values and customs of a nation.
C.When it comes to big problems, children do not have to always follow their parents’ ways.
D.After children leave home, they often find social relationship and financial support outside the family.
E.Although Americans pay much attention to independence and equality, they don’t believe in making sacrifice.
F.Sometimes children do precisely the opposite of what their parents wish in order to declare their independence.
G.Many of them are expected to leave what could be life’s most important decision - marriage almost entirely up to luck.

“Soon, you’re going to have to move out!” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood.
One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1. 25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door.
Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’t be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. Bushes must be pruned(剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.
Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing(施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.
Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is two fold(方面): First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. Second, I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June, but they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.
Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I’ll think about that tomorrow.
1.What are the requirements for the healthy growth of roses?
A. Frequent pruning and fertilizing.
B. Tomato plants grown alongside.
C. Cages placed around the roots.
D. A lot of care and the right soil.
2.The writer planted the tomato because ____.
A. there was room for it in the garden
B. it cost only $1. 25
C. the soil was just right for it
D. the roses’ branches needed to be covered
3.This year the writer’s roses were ____.
A. removed from the rose bed
B. picked along with the tomatoes
C. largely hidden under the tomato plant
D. mostly damaged by too much sunlight
4.By saying “the prize so dearly won” in paragraph 5, the writer wants to ____.
A. show the hardship of growing the roses
B. show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes
C. express her liking for the roses
D. express her care for the tomatoes

Rembrandt was an extraordinary Dutch painter. He was most well-known for his brushwork and the way in which he connected with the human soul. His life, however, was not happy.
He was born on July 15,1606 in Leiden, the Netherlands. His father wanted him to have a real, learned profession but Rembrandt left the University of Leiden after becoming bored. He began studying art under a local teacher but soon left and studied in Amsterdam where he mastered all his lessons in six months!
At the age of 22, he moved back to Leiden and began to get his own students. One of his students was the famous artist Gerrit Dou. In 1631 he returned to Amsterdam where he became the most popular portrait painter in Holland. Rembrandt met Saskia and married her in 1634. She was a cousin of a very successful art dealer and she helped him to meet wealhy people who commissioned(委任制作) many paintings from him. He used her as a model in many of his paintings.
Rembrandt’s private life, however, was very unfortunate. He had four children with Saskia but only one, Titus, survived. Saskia died in 1642 at the age of only 30. In 1649, his housekeeper became his second wife and was also a model for many of his paintings. Even though Rembrandt was very successful as an artist, art dealer and teacher, he lived in a careless way and had to declare bankruptcy(破產(chǎn)) in 1656. He even had to sell his whole art collection and his house to pay off his debts.
His unfortunate life, however, didn’t affect his art. He painted many great paintings during that time. His new love, Hendrickje, died in 1663 and his 27-year-old son, Titus, died in 1668. Eleven months later, on October 4, 1669, Rembrandt died in Amsterdam. He produced more than 600 paintings and over 2,000 drawings!
1.Which of the following is the reason that made Rembrandt’s business fail?
A. As an extraordinary Dutch painter, he knew nothing about business.
B. He spent most of his time on art, leaving no time to care his business.
C. All his children but Titus died, which made him very sad.
D. Like other famous artists, he was thoughtless.
2.From the passage we learn that Rembrandt .
A. graduated from the University of Leiden
B. began his teaching career in 1628
C. married Saskia when he was 22 years old
D. was good at drawing animals and flowers

A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. D. Seven.
4.What’s the best title for this passage?
