昔有一人，于瓮中盛谷。骆驼入瓮食谷，首不得出。主人以为忧，无计可施。有一老人来语之，曰：“汝莫忧，吾有以教汝出。”主人亟问：“法何？”老人曰：“汝当斩驼头，自当出之。”主人以为妙，即依其语，以刀斩驼头。既杀驼，而复破瓮，如此痴人，为世人所笑。 My child is thought to be gifted and that has brought some unexpected challenges to him and our family. To many people, being gifted means he will do very well in school, but that hasn’t always been true for him. He is just a kid thinking differently, and he sometimes struggles in school. Last year, school wasn’t easy for him for a few reasons. He may be ahead a few grade levels in some subjects, but not in all subjects. He just doesn’t do better in all areas all the time. And although he may seem older than his years, he doesn’t always behave like you would think he should. I’m sure you know how gifted children can be emotionally（情绪上的）green — that is exactly my kid. Also, he can be really intense (=enthusiastic) in class when you are teaching one of his favorite topics. He may raise his hand often and constantly talk about what he thinks about it. I’ll apologize in advance because he will also likely challenge you on information or facts which he feels are not quite right especially when it’s a topic he is keen on. He is not being impolite and he isn’t just being a know-it-all, or a show-off, he is really just very excited to be learning about a subject he feels strong about. He just gets carried away! Last year, he was teased (嘲弄) about looking like a know-it-all in school by some of his classmates, which hurts him A LOT. Being teased is part of his fear of going back to school. He fears being called a show-off at school and he feels like a boy who doesn’t fit in. His teacher said he often kept to himself and chose to work alone. I know as a teacher, you are incredibly busy, but could you keep an eye out for anyone teasing him or if he seems to be keeping to himself too much? Lastly, his therapist（理疗师）mentioned that because of the teasing and maybe because he was bored last year in school, he is showing signs of becoming an underachiever. Please let me know if his grades start dropping. Thank you for taking the time to read and understand about my child. Don’t hesitate to call or email me if there are any problems with him at school. Believe me, we know very well how sensitive, emotional and intense he can be. I hope you have a wonderful school year! Sincerely, Mom of a Gifted Child 11. From the passage, we learn that the author’s son ______. A. fails to get along well with classmates B. has fallen behind the other students
C. has lost interest in learning D. is rude to the teachers 12. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean?．

The young man at the local gas station is quick with a joke and knows his customers by name. He’s the kind of guy who will take a day off without pay in order to appear as a witness to a traffic accident. He’s my son.
One day, less than a week after the place had been broken into overnight, the store was suddenly invaded (闯入) by three people grabbing food off the shelves. He hit the “panic button” and then went over the counter and locked the front door. It was obvious that they were homeless. Imagine what they must have felt like when, instead of being told they were headed for prison, they were told they didn’t have to steal if they were that hungry. “ We have food in the back, expired (过期的) but still safe to eat, that we plan on giving to a homeless shelter…”.
They were told to pick up what they had dropped and put it back, then asked to straighten out the mess they’d made of the store. They were doing just that when the police arrived. The officers were told the situation was under control and the police were no longer necessary.
This wasn’t what they had expected. They were being treated as human beings who had screwed up (搞砸) but could right the wrong they’d done. Shocked, because they knew that the homeless were never welcome to use “public restrooms” in private businesses, they quickly followed orders to take turns and use the restroom to clean up.
Soon three cleaner people, standing just a bit taller than before when they came in, walked out with all the food their arms could hold. They were reminded that, if they needed to come back again, they were to ask and not just grab.
That day, when it would have been so much easier just to hand the three people over to the police and be done with it, my son gave them something they were in desperate need of — a small amount of self-respect and a little bit of hope. 14. Which of the following best describes the author’s son?
A. Caring and calm. B. Friendly and confident. C. Smart and imaginative. D. Careful and strict. 15. How did the young man deal with the three homeless people? A. He handed them over to the police.
B. He tried to persuade them not to steal again. C. He asked them to wait until the police came. D. He gave them a chance to put things right.
16. How did the three people probably feel when they heard the young man’s words? A. Excited and safe. B. Surprised and grateful.
C. Frightened and hopeless. D. Shocked and disappointed. 17. It can be inferred from the passage that ______. A. the three people would never steal again
B. the police were angry that they had made a useless trip C. the young man developed a friendship with the three people
D. the young man gave the three people something more valuable than food
C
It would be pleasant to believe that all young girls in the past got married for romantic reasons; but the fact is that many of them regarded marriage as their only chance to gain independence(独立) from their parents, to have a provider, or

昔有一人，于瓮中盛谷。骆驼入瓮食谷，首不得出。主人以为忧，无计可施。有一老人来语之，曰：“汝莫忧，吾有以教汝出。”主人亟问：“法何？”老人曰：“汝当斩驼头，自当出之。”主人以为妙，即依其语，以刀斩驼头。既杀驼，而复破瓮，如此痴人，为世人所笑。to be assured of a good place in society. A couple of generations ago, an old maid of twenty-five did not have much to look forward to, she was more or less fated to remain with her parents or to live in some relative’s home where she would help with the chores(零活儿) and the children. Not so any more. In the first place, women remain young much longer than they used to, and an unmarried woman of twenty-eight or thirty does not feel that her life is over. Besides, since she is probably working and supporting herself, she is free to marry only when and if she chooses. As a result, today’s women tend(倾向) to marry later in life. They have fewer children or none at all—if they prefer to devote themselves to their profession. The result is a decline in the birthrate.
The new role that women have developed for themselves has changed family life. Children are raised differently; they spend more time with adults who are not their parents: baby sitters, day-care center personnel, relatives, or neighbors. Whether they gain or lose in the process is a hotly debated question. Some child experts believe that young children must spend all their time with their mother if they are to grow sound in body and mind. Others think that children get more from a mother who spends with them “quality time” (a time of fun and relaxation set aside for them) rather than hours of forced and unhappy baby sitting. And many child psychologists point out that children kept in day-care centers every day are brighter than those raised at home. No matter what it is, one thing about child-raising to be certain of is that the longer the child is with the mother, the better. 18. It can be concluded from the passage that______.
A. women today have developed a new role in family life
B. the birthrate is declining as a result of women’s pursuit (追求) of careers C. women have always been dependent on their parents even after marriage
D. children must spend all their time with their mother if they are to grow sound 19. The change in women’s attitude towards marriage results in all of the following EXCEPT _________.
A. more and more women quit (leave) jobs to take care of their children at home B. women today tend to marry later than they did C. women have less time to raise children D. more and more families remain childless
20. People have different opinions over the question as to______. A. how children should be raised B. where children should be raised
C. whether children should stay with their parents D. how long children should stay with their parents 21. The author suggests that______.
A. working women should not have children
B. children should be kept in day-care centers all the time
C. young children should stay with their mother as long as possible D. women should leave their work to look after their children at home
D
Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes

昔有一人，于瓮中盛谷。骆驼入瓮食谷，首不得出。主人以为忧，无计可施。有一老人来语之，曰：“汝莫忧，吾有以教汝出。”主人亟问：“法何？”老人曰：“汝当斩驼头，自当出之。”主人以为妙，即依其语，以刀斩驼头。既杀驼，而复破瓮，如此痴人，为世人所笑。confusion (困惑) across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.
Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.
It is difficult to generalize(做一般概括) about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly. 22. What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.? A. Love. Thankfulness.
23. The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can _______ . A. show friendliness to strangers B. be used to hide true feelings C. be used in the wrong places D. show personal habits 24. What should we do before trying to “read” people?
A. Learn about their relations with others. B. Understand their cultural backgrounds.
C. Find out about their past experience. D. Figure out what they will do next. 25. What would be the best title for the test?
A. Cultural Differences B. Smiles and Relationship C. Facial Expressiveness D. Habits and Emotions
