In many countries, it is important to have many children In the US, a few religious groups emphasize the importance of large families, but most people think one or two children are enough, and many couples have no children. 1. Having many children would restrict the freedom and individualism of the parents as well as the other children in the family.

Parents teach individualism by the way they raise their children 2. Parents begin teaching this self-reliance early, asking the child to do things on her own and praising her when she does.

3. They bring their children with them to church, to sporting events, to stores, and to social events. However, many places, such as expensive restaurants and live theatre productions, do not welcome children. Most formal social gatherings those with written invitations do not welcome children either.

Children,especially boys are expected to be energetic and assertive(果敢的).

4. Parents are expected to keep their children under control at all times, particularly in public places and in the homes of others. When a child misbehaves only the child’s patents may discipline him. 5. Most patents discipline their children by rewarding good behaviors, not by punishing bad behaviors. while a spanking,a slap to the child’s buttocks(屁股), is acceptable to some people, any punishment that wounds the child or leaves a mark is considered child abuse and is against the law.

A. The relationship between American parents and their children is harmony

B. That doesn’t mean, though, that they are allowed to “run wild” in public.

C. Because taking care of a child is very costly, financially, emotionally, and socially, many couples view large families as a disadvantage.

D. Others adults should not interfere (干涉) unless the child is doing something which may be harmful to himself

E. American children are expected to accept invitations to a formal party.

F. Many parents want to expose their children to a variety of situations.

G. They want to create a self-reliant, independent child, who can make it on her own by age eighteen.

When I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish”, I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does.

As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’ t have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun hurts their eyes… The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them.

When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like sales people.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.

1.Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?

A. He could not catch a fish.

B. His father was not patient with him.

C. His father did not teach him fishing.

D. He could not influence a fish as his father did.

2.According to the author, fish are most likely to be found _________.

A. in deep water on sunny days

B. in deep water on cloudy days

C. in shallow water under sunlight

D. in shallow water under waterside trees.

3.After entering the business world, the author found _________.

A. it easy to think like a customer

B. his father’s fishing advice inspiring

C. his first boss’s sales ideas reasonable

D. it difficult to sell services to poor people

4.This passage most likely comes from _________.

A. a fishing guide

B. a popular sales book

For over one hundred and fifty years, Americans of all social classes have worn blue jeans. 1.Whether they are worn for work or for fashion today. Strauss' invention continues to be popular not only among Americans but also among people around the world.

Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829. 2. He grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847. Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his brother's dry goods business. This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention. After the gold rush of 1849, Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortunes.

Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals. Instead, he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners. At first, he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth. 3. When he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining, he decided to use a special fabric to make pants for the miners. These pants proved so popular

that he quickly ran out of materials to make more.

In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets (鉚釘). This made the pants last a long time. Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent.4..

By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion. 5.The business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss' company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world.

A family had had a cat for years-a much loved pet who also loved them. Then, one day, the children finally managed to persuade their parents to get them a puppy as well. And so a cute little Labrador made his entrance.

Everyone loved the puppy. However, the cat made it very clear she did not appreciate another pet in the house. She hissed(發(fā)出嘶嘶聲)and tried to scratch the little puppy---but the puppy just loved the cat anyway. He followed her everywhere, trying to play with her. What a sight it was—the little dog trying to make friends with the angry cat. No amount of bad behavior from the cat could persuade the puppy not to love the cat. The family figured the cat would never like the dog.

A few weeks passed. Then one day they heard horrible screaming from their back yard. They ran to the window to see what was happening. It took a while for them to believe their eyes. A lynx(猞猁)was on their back yard and it was just planning on grabbing their cat for lunch. The poor cat had no chance—it was screaming but had nowhere to run or hide. It would only be a matter of seconds and their cat would be dead.

And then the unimaginable happened. Out of nowhere a black lighting ran to the rescue. The little Labrador was only half grown but it attacked the lynx with all its might. It was barking on top of its lungs, ready to bite the other to bits. The lynx decided it was time to go and disappeared into the woods.

And ever since that day the cat’s behavior toward the dog changed totally. Now it was the cat that followed the hero dog everywhere.

2.What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?

A. Everyone loved the puppy

B. The family members screamed horribly

C. A black lighting tore the lynx to bits

4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
