My son．The phrase felt difficult and strange the first time I said it，and I had to practice it a thousand times．I started saying the words to myself the day when the ultrasound（超聲波）told me we were having a baby．
Finally，my son was born．
The nurse came out of the delivery room，holding a tiny，howling human being wrapped in a white sheet，his small hands and delicate fingers shaking nervously．“Baby Sanchez?” she asked，looking at the room full of expectant fathers．
I stood up，holding my breath．She showed me my baby．“My son，” I whispered．The little guy screamed，“waaaaaaaaaah”．
But in my heart I heard him cry out，“Daaaaaaad!” I don't care if everyone in the room will swear they didn't hear my baby say that．I called him，“My son，” and he called me “Dad，” and that's that．
People ask me，“What did I feel at that moment?” I can't even begin to answer．I'm a writer yet I try hard to find the right words．Joyful isn't powerful enough．Bliss（狂喜）is not sweet enough．Peaceful isn't calm enough．Happy isn't tense enough．
After my son was taken away to the nursery，I sat down and shut my eyes．But tears escaped them away．Then out of the blue，my 80-year-old father entered，and we embraced．
“Dad，” I whispered．
“My Son，” my heart heard him saying．
Suddenly the past 33 years folded into the present and I was now the baby bundled in white，with my father standing over me．
“My son，” I imagined him saying．
“Daaaaaaaaaad!” I cried my little lungs out．
At that point，I knew I was going to be a great father．The old man in front of me seemed to agree．He smiled mid we walked out of the room in search of the tiny human being that would change our lives for ever．
1．Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?

I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval, he will learn to love himself and will be successful in his own way.
Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting frustrated, but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate (準確的) when he stood up. Could he be more intent (專心的) while standing up?
This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the discipline (紀律) to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life.www.zxxk.com
Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality traits (特點) and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids’ best cheer leaders, guiding them and helping them find their way.
I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids’ ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesn’t mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being individual (個人的) and unique (獨一無二的). It makes us free and happy and that’s just the way I want my kids to live their own life.
1.At the beginning, the author tried to keep his son seated in order to make him _____.
A. pay more attention to his study B. keep silent in the room
C. finish his homework on time D. get right answers
2.Inspired by the case of his son, the author began to doubt ________.
A. the importance of parents
B. the old form of education
C. the relationship between kids and their parents
D. the good grades of some kids
3.According to the passage, which of the following statements is right?
A. We should help kids correct their wrong ways.
B. Parents should study their kids’ DNA.
C. Kids should be taught to behave themselves.
D. Parents should love and accept their kids.
4.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A. Study hard and you’ll be successful
B. Be friendly to your children
C. Children’s success in their own style
D. Parents’ help with their children’s study

I was watching some little kids play soccer. These kids were only five or six years old, but they were playing a real game — a serious game — two teams, complete with coaches, uniforms, and parents. I didn’t know any of them, so I was able to enjoy the game without the distraction of being anxious about winning or losing.
The teams were pretty evenly matched. I will just call them Team One and Team Two. Nobody scored in the first period. Then came the second quarter. The Team One coach pulled out what must have been his first team and put in the scrubs(替補隊員), except for his best player who now guarded the goal.
The game took a dramatic turn. I guess winning is important even when you’re five years old — because the Team Two coach left his best players in, and the Team One scrubs were no match for them. Team Two packed around the little guy who was now the Team One goalkeeper. He was an outstanding athlete, but he was no match for three or four who were also very good. Team Two began to score. The lone goalkeeper gave it everything he had, desperately throwing his body in front of incoming balls, trying bravely to stop them.
Team Two scored two goals in quick succession. It angered the young boy. He became a raging maniac — shouting, running, diving. With all the strength he could gather, he covered the boy who now had the ball, but that boy kicked it to another boy twenty feet away, and by the time he repositioned himself, it was too late — they scored a third goal.
I soon learned who the goalkeeper’s parents were. They were nice, decent-looking people. I could tell that his dad had just come from the office — he still had his suit and tie on. They yelled encouragement to their son. I became totally absorbed, watching the boy on the field and his parents on the sidelines.
After the third goal, the little kid changed. He didn’t quit, but he became quietly desperate and futility was written all over him. His father changed, too. He had been urging his son to try harder — yelling advice and encouragement. But then he became anxious. He tried to say that it was okay — to hang in there. He sorrowed for the pain his son was feeling.
After the fourth goal, I knew what was going to happen. The little boy fetched the ball from the net and handed it to the referee(裁判). He just stood there while huge tears rolled down both cheeks. He went to his knees, and he cried the tears of the helpless and brokenhearted.
At that moment, I saw the father start onto the field. His wife seized his arm and said, “Jim, don’t. You’ll embarrass him.” But he tore loose from her and ran onto the field. Suit, tie, dress shoe, and all — he charged onto the field, and he picked up his son so everybody would know that this was his boy, and he hugged him and held him and cried with him. I’ve never been so proud of a man in my life.
He carried him off the field, and when he got close to the sidelines I heard him say, “Scotty, I’m so proud of you. You were great out there. I want everybody to know that you are my son.”
“Daddy,” the boy sobbed. “I couldn’t stop them. I tried, Daddy, but they scored on me.”
“Scotty, it doesn’t matter how many times they scored on you. You’re my son, and I’m proud of you. I want you to go back there and finish the game. I know you want to quit, but you can’t. And, son, you’re going to get scored on again, but it doesn’t matter. In my eyes, you are the winner! Go on, now.”
The little guy ran back onto the field — and they scored two more times — but it was okay. Now in all viewers’ eyes, he is the Winner.
When you’re all alone, and you’re getting scored on — and you can’t stop them — it means a lot to know that it doesn’t matter to those who love you. In their eyes, so long as you don’t give up, you are the winner. And they are always proud of you.
1.The phrase “took a dramatic turn” (Paragraph 3) can best be replaced by ______.
A. went on smoothly B. changed greatly
C. attracted less attention D. got interrupted
2.Which detail from the story can reflect the little boy’s losing confidence?
A. The lone goalkeeper gave it everything he had, desperately throwing his body.
B. He became a raging maniac — shouting, running, diving.
C. With all the strength he could gather, he covered the boy who now had the ball.
D. He didn’t quit, but he became quietly desperate and futility was written all over him.
3.Why did the boy’s mother try to stop her husband running onto the field?
A. She thought it would only make his son feel awkward.
B. She hoped her son could gather courage and cheer himself up.
C. She considered it useless to encourage his son at that time.
D. She knew it was not allowed when the game was still in progress.
4.Which words can best describe the change of the writer’s feelings when watching the game?
A. curious → anxious → grateful
B. bored → upset → delighted
C. calm → absorbed → moved
D. surprised → thoughtful → interested
5.Which can be seen as the climax (the most important point) of the story?
A. The boy’s going to his knees and bursting into tears helplessly.
B. Team Two’s scoring another two goals after the boy went back to the field.
C. The boy’s fighting bravely in face of Team Two’s excellent performance.
D. The father’s running onto the field and encouraging his son not to give up.
6.The best title for the story is ______.
A. A Proud Father B. An Amazing Game
C. The True Winner D. The Magical Encouragement

It was a lovely day at the park and Stella Bianchi was enjoying the sunshine with her two children when a young boy, aged about four, approached her two-year-old son and pushed him to the ground.
“I’d watched him for a little while and my son was the fourth or fifth child he’d pushed,” she says. “I went over to them, picked up my son, turned to the boy and said, firmly, ‘No, we don’t push.’” What happened next was unexpected.
“The boy’s mother ran toward me from across the park,” Stella says, “I thought she was coming over to apologize, but instead she started shouting at me for blaming her child. All I did was let him know his behavior was unacceptable. Was I supposed to sit back while her kid did whatever he wanted and hurt other children?”
Getting your own children to play nice is difficult enough. Dealing with other people’s children has become a hidden danger.
In my house, jumping on the sofa is not allowed. In my sister’s house it’s encouraged. I find myself saying “no” a lot when her kids are over at mine. That’s OK between sisters but becomes dangerous when you’re talking to the children of friends or acquaintances.
“Kids aren’t all raised the same,” agrees Professor Naomi White of Monash University.” But there is still an idea that they’re the property of the parent. We see our children as a mirror of ourselves, so if you’re saying that my child is behaving improperly, then that’s somehow a criticism(批評) of me.”
In those situations, it’s difficult to know whether to approach the child directly or the parent first. There are two opinions.
“I’d go to the child first,” says Andrew Fuller, author of Tricky Kids. “Usually a quiet reminder that ‘we don’t do that here’ is enough. Kids have antennae (直覺) for how to behave in different settings.”
He points out bringing it up with the parent first may make them feel careless, which could cause problems. Of course, approaching the child first can bring its own headaches, too.
This is why White recommends that you approach the parents first. Raise your concerns with the parents and ask them to deal with it,” she says.
Asked how to approach a parent in this situation, psychologist Meredith Fuller answers: “Explain your needs as well as stressing the importance of the friendship. Start with something like: ‘I know you’ll think I’m silly but in my house I don’t want…’”
1.What did Stella Bianchi expect the young boy’s mother to do when she talked to him?
A. Make an apology B. Come over to stop her
C. Blame her own boy D. Take her own boy away
2.What does the author say about dealing with other people’s children?
A. It’s important not to hurt them in any way
B. It’s no use trying to stop their wrongdoing
C. It’s advisable to treat them as one’s own kids
D. It’s possible for one to get into lots of trouble
3.According to professor Naomi White, when one’s kids are criticized, their parents will probably feel ______.
A. discouraged B. hurt C. puzzled D. affected
4. What should one do when seeing other people’s kids misbehave according to Andrew Fuller?
A. Talk to them directly in a mild way B. Complain to their parents politely
C. Simply leave them alone D. Punish them lightly
