Question

【題目】

Whether you're a child, teenager, young adult or are middle-aged, respect for your parents is an important value. Your parents are the people who raised you, devoting time, energy and money to your development.【1】No matter your age, there are 5 ways to show respect.

● Respect their belongings.

One important way to show respect is to show regard for the things important to your parents. For younger children, this may mean not touching jewelry or other valuable things. For grown children, respect may mean returning a borrowed tool in good condition and on time. Lack of respect for a parent's belongings is a violation(侵犯) of personal boundaries. 【2】 And never borrow things without asking first.

● Punctuality.

【3】 Therefore, always be on time. For teenagers, showing up on time means coming home by curfew(宵禁). Adult children should show up on time for family dinners or events, or to pick a parent up for a medical appointment. Call if you're going to be late because parents worry about children, no matter their age.

●【4】

Remembering birthdays, anniversaries and other special days is a sign that you honor your parents. Make plans to take them to lunch or dinner or bake a cake or cookies. Most parents don't expect expensive gifts, but a handmade gift is always appreciated. A phone call from a grown child who lives too far for a visit is a welcome sign of respect.

● Be kind.

Kind words and affection are simple ways to show respect. Tell your parents you love them. Listen and allow your parents to speak without interruption. Show a sincere interest in what your parents have to say. Be patient with your parents and don't rush them. Never talk back or be rude or disrespectful. Acknowledge your parents' achievements.【5】

【解析】作為子女我們應該尊重自己的父母。文章給出了五條關于如何尊敬父母的建議。

【1】考查上下文理解和推理判斷。E項“貫穿你的一生他們無條件的愛你”承接上一句，是父母無條件的愛，讓我們必須尊敬他們。故E項合乎文意。

【2】考查上下文理解和推理判斷。本段講述要尊重父母的東西，對父母的東西缺乏尊重是對父母的個人權(quán)利的侵犯，由空格下文“And never borrow things without asking first.”可知，借東西要先請求父母允許，G項“不要利用你的父母的善良和慷慨”與下文意義相符。故G項合乎文意。

【3】考查上下文理解和推理判斷。由標題Punctuality可知，本段闡述準時表示尊重。由下文“Therefore, always be on time.”可知，因此，總是要準時，故C項“遲到表示缺乏尊重”承接下文。故C項合乎文意。

【4】考查段落理解和推理判斷。本段闡述記住父母的生日、紀念日和其它特殊的日子是一種尊重，帶他們?nèi)コ燥埢蛘呖局频案饨o他們，不需要昂貴的禮物，一件自制的禮物或者來自遠方的一個電話都是尊重的表現(xiàn)，因此推斷本段討論與父母一起慶祝特殊日子。故B項合乎文意。

【5】考查上下文理解和推理判斷。由段落標題“Be kind”可知，本段闡述對父母友好是尊重的表現(xiàn)。由空格上文可知，友好的語言是表示尊敬的簡單方式，對父母有耐心，不要頂撞，承認父母的成就都是對父母的尊重，D項“對待父母用你喜歡被對待的方式”符合上文，講述與父母相處的方式。故選D項合乎文意。
