Is there such a thing as being “over-protective”?

I can honestly say that my answer1.that question has changed dramatically（戲劇性地）since I became a parent.

Before the birth of my daughter,I taught at a private school,often2.(view) my students as over-protected, worrying3.would happen to them when they went on to middle schools.

Some did fine,and some did not.Some needed constant pats on the back,words of encouragement and extra support,which I4.(happy) gave.Others5.(satisfy) with themselves,needing little or no interaction（互動）with their teacher.6.for the most part,graduates would go on for higher schooling.

I'd always taken it for granted7.their parents were over-protective,for they were the ones that still walked their8.(five) graders into the classroom and met them at the school gate.

Admittedly,I laughed at those parents,thinking their children would never learn to be9.(dependent) if they didn't let go just a little.Then I had my own daughter. The moment I looked at her little face,I knew I'd do everything in my power10.(protect) her and make sure she always felt safe!

Four days after Dad’s 67th birthday, he had a heart attack. Luckily, he survived. But something inside him had died. His enthusiasm for life was gone. He refused to follow doctor’s orders, and his sour attitude made everyone upset when they visited him. Dad was left alone.

So I asked Dad to come to live with me on my small farm, hoping the fresh air would help him adjust. Within a week after he moved in, I regretted the invitation. He criticized everything I did. I became frustrated. Something had to be done.

One day I read an article which said when given dogs, depressed patients would be better off. So I drove to the animal shelter that afternoon. As soon as I got there, a pointer’s eyes caught my attention. They watched me calmly.

A staff member said: “He got here two weeks ago and we’ve heard nothing. His time is up tomorrow.”

I turned to the man in horror. “You mean you’re going to kill him”

“Ma’am,” he said gently. “We don’t have room for every unclaimed dog.”

The police’s calm brown eyes awaited my decision. “I’ll take him,” I said.

I drove home with the dog on the front seat beside me. I was helping it out of the car when Dad walked onto the front porch. “Look what I got you!” I said excitedly.

Dad wrinkled his face. “I don’t want it,” he muttered, turning back towards the house. Then, suddenly, the dog pulled free from my grasp. He sat down in front of my Dad.

Dad’s anger melted, and soon he was hugging the dog.

This was the beginning of a warm friendship. Dad named the dog Cheyenne. Together they spent long hours walking down dusty lanes and relaxing on the banks of streams.

Dad’s bitterness faded, and he and Cheyenne went on to make many friends. Then, late one night two years later, I felt Cheyenne’s cold nose burrowing (搜尋) through my bed covers. He had never before come into my bedroom at night. I ran into my father’s room and found that he had passed away.

Two days later, my shock and grief deepened when I discovered Cheyenne lying dead beside Dad’s bed. As I buried him near their favorite stream, I silently thanked the dog for restoring Dad’s peace of mind.

1.After the author’s father survived the heart attack, he ______.

A. ignored everyone who visited him

B. became unpleasant toward other people

C. was left alone to get full rest

D. no longer wanted to live

2.Why did the author take the pointer home?

A. It was a type that is known for its friendliness.

B. Its eyes made her think it was the best dog available.

C. It was good at getting people’s attention and entertaining them.

D. It caught her attention right away and she didn’t want it to be killed.

3.From the last two paragraphs we can conclude that _______.

A. the author’s father and Cheyenne formed a real connection

B. friendship and care is much more efficient than the medicine

C. more attention should be given to old people

D. dogs are so loyal that they usually die for their friends

4.Which section of a newspaper is the source of the passage?

MONTREAL(Reuters)—Crossing the US-Canada border to go to church on a Sunday cost an American $10,000 for breaking Washington’s strict new security rules.

The expensive trip to church was a surprise for Richard Albert, who lives right on the Canadian border. Albert often crosses the border like the other half-dozen people of Township 15. The nearby Quebec village of St. Pamphile is where they shop, eat and go to church.

There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5,530-mile border between Canada and the US, which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings.

As a result, Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the US after attending church in Canada, as usual. The US customs station in this area is closed on Sundays, so he just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared last May, following a tightening of border security. Two days later. Albert was told to go to the customs office, where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally.

Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 Americans in that area so they can enter the country when Canadian customs(海關(guān)) stations are closed, but the US stopped a similar program last May. That forces the people to a 200-mile detour along hilly roads to get home through another border checkpoint.

Albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine, but he has not attended a Sunday church since. “I feel like I’m living in a prison,” he said.

1.We learn from the text that Richard Albert is            .

A. an American working in a Canadian church

B. a Canadian living in a Quebec village

C. a Canadian working in a customs station

D. an American living in Township 15

2.Albert was fined because he              .

A. broke the American security rules

B. failed to obey traffic rules

C. worked in St. Pamphile without a pass

D. damaged the gate of the customs office

3.What would be the best title for the text?

A. A Cross-country Trip B. An Expensive Church Visit

C. An Unguarded Border D. A Special Border Pass

Sometimes the toughest thing about feelings is sharing them with others．Sharing your feelings helps you whether your feelings are wonderful or terrible．Sharing also helps you to get closer to people you care about and who care about you．But how?

You can’t tell your friends what’s inside your backpack if you don’t know what’s in there yourself．Feelings are the same way．Before you can share them with anyone，you have to figure out what feelings you have．

Making a list of your feelings can help．You can do this in your mind or by writing it out or even by drawing pictures．Is something bothering you? Does it make you frustrated or terrified? Do you feel this emotion only once in a while or much of the time?

The way a person feels inside is important．If you keep feelings locked inside，it can even make you feel sick! But if you talk with someone who cares for you，you will almost always start to feel better．It doesn’t mean your problems and worries magically disappear，but at least someone else knows what’s bothering you and can help you find solutions．

Your mom and dad want to know if you have problems and what’s happening in your life．But what if a kid doesn’t want to talk with parents? Then find another trusted adult，like a relative or a teacher at schoo1．Maybe this person can help you talk with your parents about your problem or concern．

Once you know who you can talk with，you'll want to pick a time and place to talk．You can talk publicly in your family．But some kids are more private than others and they will feel shy about sharing their feelings．Then find a quiet place or write it down on a piece of paper．A kid doesn’t have to share every feeling he or she has．

1.What does the passage mainly tell us?

A. The importance of feelings． B. How to figure out your feelings．

C. How to share your feelings． D. The people sharing your feelings．

She Walked Through Fire

On Thanksgiving weekend, the Heffelmire family gathered for a meal at their home. After dinner, the family went down to the finished basement to relax except Charlotte’s father, Eric, who was in the garage to fix his truck．

Around 8 p.m., Charlotte decided to check on her dad. She walked through the kitchen. When she opened the side door to the garage, black smoke rose up into the kitchen. She could barely make out her father lying on his back, trapped under the truck. He’d removed the front passenger-side tyre and raised the truck on a jack（千斤頂）. The truck had slipped off the jack, and now the whole weight of the wheel was on his chest and shoulders．

Charlotte ran to the front of the truck and struggled to lift it. Eric was still conscious, and he yelled, “You got it! One more try!” She tried again and was able to tip the truck backward just enough for her to pull her dad by the shirt with both hands from under the truck．

She dragged him across the garage and 20 feet down the driveway. Then she ran back to the garage, which had burst into flames. “I was afraid the car was going to explode,” says Charlotte, so she climbed into the truck, which faced forward, turned the key, and pressed the gas pedal（油門）. The car slowly rolled out, the metal wheel scratching loudly against the concrete．

Safely on the driveway, Charlotte stopped the truck and ran back to the basement. “There’s a fire! Everybody get out!” she yelled as she picked up her three-month-old niece and ran out. Outside, she handed the baby to her mom, and then ran around to the burning garage. She picked up a garden hose（水管）and sprayed the fire while calling 911．

A few minutes later, firefighters and an ambulance arrived. Charlotte was treated for second-degree burns on both her feet and face. Her dad had injuries on his chest and shoulders, as well as minor burns on his face. The garage and the house were damaged but the family survived．

The Heffelmires are staying in an apartment while their house is rebuilt. “Charlotte is a remarkable kid,” says her dad. Charlotte, however, simply says, “ I was saving my family and my house. I wasn’t going to let my dad die.”
