It was at her company’s annual picnic that my mother met my father, and he walked her home. The next week, from his home in Chicago, he sent her a post card: Remember me please. Do be calling you one of these days.—David.

She still has that post card. I am not sure what made her save. Though he already had his heart set on her, she hadn't chosen him yet, at least not consciously.

My father, a salesman for a big electronics company, often told us while we were growing up, it was blind luck that he was at the picnic that day. He was in town to meet with clients and happened to stop by the branch office that Saturday morning to make a call. It was the manager of a local radio station where my mother worked as a writer. “Dave! Glad you’re in town!” he said, and invited him to come right over to their annual picnic. Later my mother dated him when he was in town. Eventually, one night a few months later, she woke her mother and told her she was going to marry Dave. A few months after the wedding, my father was transferred east. They settled in New York, in the house where I grew up.

Sometimes I think how time gets us together and puts us in a certain place where we’re faced with one option or another. We leave behind while others live by the choice we made. We could have lived full of different passions and joys, different problems and disappointments. Sometimes, particularly when I came home late to a sleeping house, my husband and daughter curled around each other. I think about the lives we would not have had if choices had brought us to a different place. And I tremble at the thought that I might have missed this life, this man, this child, this love.

1.According to the text, where did the author’s parents come across?

A. At the author’s home. B. At a local radio station.

C. At her father’s company’s picnic. D. At her mother’s company’s picnic.

2.It can be inferred from the text that ________.

A. the author’s father didn’t like her mother

B. the author’s mother always made right decisions

C. the author didn’t believe her mother

D. the author’s mother hadn’t decided to marry her father at first

3.Before meeting the author's father, her mother was ________.

A. a writer B. a manager C. a teacher D. a saleswoman

4.What do we know about the author?

A. She values her life now.

B. Time makes her life now perfect.

C. She is tired of her life now.

D. Her life now faces problems and disappointments.

A wagging(搖) tail is a form of dog communication. Dogs wag their tell us something about how they’re feeling.

There are probably few people who haven’t seen a dog wagging his tail, and most of the time it’s obvious what the dog is trying to tell you with this kind of body language. It is important, however, that you pay attention to how the dog is holding his tail when he’s wagging it.

Is it relaxed and moving back in forth? Is his body moving along with the wagging? Or is the tail high and moving quickly back and forth while the dog’s body remains fairly erect and stiff (豎直僵硬的)? Where the tail is and the way a dog holds his body while he’s wagging it can give you a clue about what he is trying to communicate.

Most people look at a dog with a wagging tail and assume he is happy. Most of the time this is true, but there are times when a dog wags his tail right before he becomes aggressive. If a dog is wagging his tail and the rest of his body seems relaxed or is moving along with the wagging, you are dealing with a happy and comfortable dog.

If a dog is holding his body erect and stiff while wagging his tail, however, he may be telling you that he’s feeling territorial or uncomfortable with something that is going on around him. In this case, the dog’s tail will be held high and moving back and forth rapidly. This discomfort can be a sign to attack.

This is one reason people sometimes report that a dog was wagging his tail right before he bit someone. So if you come across a dog you don’t know who is wagging his tail, check out what the rest of his body language is telling you before you approach.

1.In what situation do we know a dog is happy?

A. When we have a close look at him.

B. When we try to communicate with him.

C. The dog wags his tail and his body remains relaxed.

D. The dog moves his body along and holds his tail high.

2.A dog’s tail holding high and moving back and forth rapidly shows he may be ________.

A. aggressive B. frightened C. friendly D. relaxed

3.What are people expected to do when meeting a strange dog?

A. Train him to be friendly. B. Judge him by his body language.

C. Ask the owner for help. D. Approach him slowly.

4.What is the best title of this passage?

A. Signs of a Dog’s Bites

B. A Special Communication

C. A Pet Dog — Human’s Friend

D. Dog Feeling Expression —Wagging Tail

科目：高中英語 來源：寧夏2017屆高三下學期一�？荚囉⒄Z試卷 題型：七選五

第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

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.

A. Be a good listener.

B. Celebrate with them.

C. Lateness indicates a lack of respect.

D. Treat your parents the way you would like to be treated.

E. And they love you unconditionally throughout your life.

F. Being respectful helps build positive relationships with others.

G. Don't take advantage of your parents' kindness and generosity.
