As a teenager, I had a lot of anger (愤怒) and was not good at communicating with my parents.
One day, when I was getting ready for school, my mother handed me a T-shirt. It was my father’s, not mine. At that time, I was taller and stronger than my father, so when I put the T-shirt on, I felt like I was being choked (窒息) in it! I realized that it was a small mistake by my mother, but the feeling of being choked made me very angry. Without thinking, I took out my anger on my mother. I ripped (撕破) the T-shirt!
Later, my mother told my father what had happened, “See what your son has done.” Instead of scolding me, my father asked my mother to repair the T-shirt. He then wore it to work the next day.
Later when my mother told me about what my father had done, I felt ashamed of my behavior. He spent the whole day wearing a ripped T-shirt. At the same time, I was filled with great admiration (钦佩) for my father. His kindness taught me a life lesson I would never forget. On that day, I made a decision that I would never let anger beat me.
4. Why did the writer feel bad in the T-shirt
A. Because it smelt terrible. B. Because he hated the color.

6. What did the writer think of his father
A. He was kind. B. He was strict.
C. He didn’t care about him. D. He was not good at communicating.
7. The passage mainly tells us that we should ______.
A. control our anger B. not make mistakes
C. care about our parents D. not spend much money on clothes
C
I was born in a poor family with eight children, and life was “hand-to-mouth”. If I recalled my family experience, I would say each day was a challenge to keep our stomachs filled.
At the age of 18, I gave up a chance to study at a local university. I started working as a salesman because I knew I would be paid a large salary if I worked harder.
I put in a lot of time and efforts to learn the products(产品) so that I could sell better. The next 20 years I worked harder than those graduate workers because jobs for non-graduates like me were scarce(罕见的) and with low pay.
I understand the reasons I have to work hard. But I never regret, and I cannot let this problem happen to my children again. I must make sure they get the best education.
My children understand and see the simple lifestyle that my wife and I are having. They say they will repay after they find their ideal job. They made their grades one by one, and all are working now.
I tell my children about my past and let them know I give them wings, but they must know the root!
I hope this conscious education will pass through the generations!

Good manners are important things to have since they show that you’re polite to other people. If you’re having a meal with others, then make sure you have good manners while you’re eating to show that you’re respectful.
Avoid setting your phone on the table while you’re eating with other people. Set your phone on silent or vibrate mode (振动模式), and keep it in a pocket or bag throughout your meal. 12______. If you need to take a phone call, excuse yourself from the table first by saying something like, “Excuse me, I need to take this. I’ll be right back.”
13_______Don’t start eating quickly after you sit down since it’s rude to start if other people don’t have their food. Instead, patiently wait in your seat before you take your first bite.
14_______When you need to cut something, hold the knife in your right hand and your fork in your left one. Once you cut your food, you can either use your fork with your left hand or set your knife down so you can use your fork with your right hand.
Don’t chew(咀嚼)with your mouth open. Chewing with your mouth open or talking while you’re eating is usually considered rude since no one wants to see the food in your mouth. Take small bites of your food and chew them completely with your mouth closed.
If at any point during the meal you need to go to the bathroom, check your phone, or leave, say “excuse me” before standing up so others know you need to go somewhere. You don’t need to give the reason why you’re leaving as long as you come back and sit down again. 15__________.
A. Hold your fork and knife properly.
B. Wait until everyone else has been served before you start eating.
C. Don’t answer it unless there’s an emergency(紧急情况).
D. You may say, “Excuse me, I’ll be right back.”

七、阅读表达(每题2分,共10分)
I still remember quite clearly the day when my parents got divorced(离婚) Dad kissed me goodbye and left.
For a long time Mum and I lived a peaceful life. Then one day, Jim came over for lunch wearing a blue suit with a short brown tie and a green shirt. I couldn’t believe this was going to be my new stepfather. It couldn’t be true that my beautiful mother would marry someone who dressed like a clown(小丑). I hated him.
Lunch was terrible. Mother kept trying to start a conversation, but neither Jim nor I would say much. Finally I offered to bring in the dessert just to get away from the clown.
Something unpleasant happened, but I didn’t mean to do it. I guess the plate slipped. But one minute I was handing Jim his blackberry pie, and the next, dark purple berries were oozing(渗出) all over his shirt and tie.
I was embarrassed. My face turned bright red. Jim looked very surprised at first, but then he began to laugh. I started to laugh, too. Maybe this guy was all right, after all. Then I had a quick look at my mother. She looked happier than I had seen her in a long time.
