Unit 1 Relationships Writing Workshop—高二英语北师大版（2019）选择性必修第一册随堂小练
一、阅读理解
The elderly residents (居民) in care homes in London are being given hens(母鸡) to look after to stop them feeling lonely.
The project was dreamed up by a local charity (慈善组织) to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people's wellbeing(幸福). It is also being used to help patients suffering dementia(痴呆), a serious illness of the mind. Staff in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use.
Among those taking part in the project is 80-year-old Ruth Xavier. She said: "I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school.
"I like the project a lot. I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they've gone to bed.
"It's good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them. I'm enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful."
There are now 700 elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the North East, and the charity has been given financial support to roll it out(推出) countrywide.
Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to embark on the project, said: "Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here."
Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said: "We are happy to be taking part in the project. It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities."

5． Many people over 60 years of age in the UK are spending their later years taking up new hobbies and activities, according to research from Age UK. 71 percent of those over 60 years old are meeting new challenges like learning a foreign language, taking to the dance floor, or even taking part in outdoor activities like bungee jumping and mountain climbing.
The new survey looks at attitudes towards later life in people aged 18 and above and has been conducted to mark the start of a new TV advertising campaign. With the positive attitudes of many of those aged 60 and above who describe their lifestyle as interesting (38 percent), varied (42 percent), fun (20 percent) and satisfying (24 percent), it shows the nation that growing older does not mean that interests and hobbies should stop.
It features people doing what they enjoy, celebrating later life and all that it can offer. This is in sharp contrast to some younger people's ideas of old age as boring and slower-paced. Among those featured are a Tai Chi group, dancers, a 91-year-old bodybuilder, and an 81-year-old singing leading lady. Many of them are people who have been directly helped by Age UK. The advertisement aims to show the different services and products that Age UK offers and how it can help people to make the most of later life.
Michelle Mitchell, Charity Director at Age UK said, "Through our research and the exciting new TV advertisement, we hope to show another side of growing older and encourage people of all ages to take up some hobbies. One in five says that they have felt more comfortable in their own skin since they reached 60 years of age, and this confidence helps to give people the drive to try the activities they have always wanted to try."
1.How many people aged 60 and above describe their lifestyle as varied according to the research

B.Age UK has organised a Tai Chi group.
C.Old age is not boring, but a little slow-paced.
D.Age UK offers products to old people for free.
3.Wherefrom A.AA.Aassage most probably taken from A.AA.A life magazine. B.A textbook. C.A fashion website. D.A health handbook.
6． Coming from a broken home on the mean streets, Quentin had been on the wrong side of the law influenced by secret society and drugs. He has risen and fallen many times, which is why his turnround is all the more inspiring.
Having gotten out of the secret society and later honourably retired from the Marines (海军陆战队), Quentin struggled with various business adventures including running barber shops and dry cleaners. Wanting to offer a healthier option, he started his first restaurant in 2001 in his hometown. Again, success was lasting only a short time for over a decade. Determined to make a change and focus on giving rather than succeeding, Quentin changed things up again. It was then that his life really began to turn around.
From 2013, his restaurant, The Turkey Chop Grill, would close for the paying public every Monday and only offer free food to those in need. He served great meals to over 1,000 poor people every day from his own pockets, giving over 60,000 meals in two years.
Money, however, remained an issue with such kindness and so, Quentin took a chance and appeared on Guy Fieri's show "Grocery Games" in 2015. The show had retired soldiers from four military branches in a cooking competition. Quentin won. Quentin has invested his winnings back in feeding the poor. From 1,000 a day, he successfully fed 2,000 for Thanksgiving that year. His concept of focusing on giving rather than winning had finally paid off.
"West Humboldt Park has a large number of homeless, and the drug problem is terrible. I wanted to show the community that people care and give those down on their luck an opportunity to own what's good for them, starting with what they put in their bodies. And, maybe that might inspire them to do better in other aspects of their lives."
1.What caused Quentin's life to start to change
A.The retirement from the army.
B.The pullback from the secret society.
C.The success of his first restaurant in 2001.
D.The decision of giving back to his community.
2.How did Quentin overcome financial problems in 2015
A.By winning a competition.
B.By taking part in a soldiers' club.
C.By organising a cooking competition.
D.By accepting donations from retired soldiers.
3.Which of the following words can best describe Quentin
A.Kind and ambitious. B.Cooperative and generous.
C.Curious and professional. D.Courageous and humorous.
4.What can the reader learn from his story
A.Money talks. B.East or west, home is best.
C.A begun work is half ended. D.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

一、阅读理解
1． I didn't know how to say "no", and was afraid to tell people what I wanted. Instead, I got myself tangled(纠结的) in a web of obligations, anxiety, and white lies.
The worst thing was that I didn't even realise what I was doing. I thought I knew how to say "no"—but couldn't remember the last time I had done this. Like a lot of people, I just wanted to be accepted, appreciated, loved—and the only way to get those things was to put everyone else's needs before my own.
I never seemed to have time for things I really wanted to do. I'd like to learn Spanish, write more fiction, and travel. These aren't huge, unrealistic goals. And yet, my people-pleasing ways dramatically cut into my free time to pursue these desires.
But recently, I decided I'd had enough. As an experiment, I began standing up for myself, even at the risk of alienating(使疏远) myself from everyone and having my entire life come crashing down around me. Several days ago, a good friend asked me to go for coffee at 5 pm. I was planning to hit the gym and then binge—watch Mad Men for the millionth time. I said, "Sorry, I've got things I want to do tonight." She said, "That's fine. Maybe another time." It was all, so painfully simple that I wanted to cry.
Saying "no" is so much easier. If someone asks me to do something I have zero interest in, I'm polite but honest. "I'm sorry. I don't think that's really for me." The words slip out faster than some other lame excuses.
Learning how to say "no" has added several extra hours to my days, days to my weeks, and what feels like months to my years. I no longer have to back-burner my plans to help friends with their job search, or set aside a weekend to read a book draft by someone I barely know. Saying "no" has set me free.
1.Why was the author afraid of saying "no"
A.She didn't want to tell lies. B.She wanted to make more friends.
C.She wanted to please everyone. D.She was always willing to help others.
2.What was the bad point of being afraid of saying "no" for the author
A.Alienating many friends. B.Keeping busy all day long.
C.Feeling depressed now and then. D.Having no time for her own hobbies.
3.What was her friend's reaction when the author said "no" to her
A.Natural. B.Painful. C.Angry. D.Disappointed.
4.How did the author feel after she had learnt to say "no"
A.Lonely. B.Relaxed. C.Confident. D.Lost.
2． I'm a teacher.
I was born the first moment that a question leaped from the mouth of a child.
I have been many people in many places.
I am Socrates exciting the youth of Athens to discover new ideas through the use of questions.
I am Anne Sullivan tapping out the secrets of the universe into the outstretched(伸展开的) hand of Helen Keller.
I am Aesop and Hans Christian Andersen uncovering truths through countless stories.
humanity...humanity... who have practiced my profession ring like a hall of fame(名人堂humanity...humanity... Confucius, Lao-Tzu and Mencius.
I am also those whose names and faces have long been forgotten but those lessons and character will always be remembered by their students.
Despite the maps, charts, formulas, verbs, stories and books, I really have had nothing to teach, for my students really have only themselves to learn, and I know it takes the whole world to tell you who you are.
I am a paradox(矛盾的人). I speak loudest when I listen the most. My greatest gifts are in what I am willing to appreciatively receive from my students.
Material wealth is not one of my goals, but I am a full-time treasure seeker in my search for new opportunities for my students to use their talents.
I have a past that is rich in memories. I have a present that is challenging, adventurous and fun, because I am allowed to spend my days with my future. Fortunately, I am a teacher.
1.When was at teacher born according to the author
A.When a child asked a question.
B.When the youth discovered new ideas.
C.When a student knew the secrets of the universe.
D.When the truth was revealed through stories.
2.What is the goal of the author as a teacher
A.To be always remembered by his students.
B.To instruct students to find who they really are.
C.To allow students opportunities to use their talents.
D.To seek for material and spiritual materials.

4.Which word can best describe the teacher in the passage

3． "You can use me as a last resort(选择), and if nobody else volunteers, then I will do it." This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids' lacrosse(长曲棍球) club.
I guess that there's probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport. She may just need a little persuading. So I try again and tug at the heartstrings.on...ntion the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren't even on... At this point the unwilling parent speaks up, "Alright. Yes, I'll do it."
I'm secretly relieved because I know there's real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many. The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule, sends out emails, and collects money for end-of-season gifts. Somewhere along the way, the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team. The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season. Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal.
Still, most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close. That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more: Connecting to the community(社区) as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services provides a real joy. Volunteering just feels so good.
In that sense, I'm pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I'd freely like to admit. However, if others benefit in the process, and I get some reward too, does it really matter where my motivation lies
1. What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph 1
A. She knows little about the club. B. She isn't good at sports.
C. She just doesn't want to volunteer. D. She's unable to meet her schedule.
2. What does the underlined phrase "tug at the heartstrings" in paragraph 2 mean
A. Encourage teamwork. B. Appeal to feelings.
C. Promote good deeds. D. Provide advice.
3. What can we learn about the parent from paragraph 3
A. She gets interested in lacrosse. B. She is proud of her kids.
C. She'll work for another season. D. She becomes a good helper.
4. Why does the author like doing volunteer work
A. It gives her a sense of duty. B. It makes her very happy.
C. It enables her to work hard. D. It brings her material rewards.
二、语法填空
4．_____ is shown in the study, the face-to-face communication helps to strengthen friendships.
5．Great importance is attached to table _____(manner) in formal occasions in China.
三、书面表达

Nowadays, generation gap is a topic which is frequently talked about. Based on a survey, the most important reason why generation gap exists is the lack of communication and understanding between parents and children. To bridge the gap, parents can adopt the following effective measures. Firstly, it is worthwhile for parents to set aside a night to have a face-to-face and heart-to-heart talk with children. Secondly, it is suggested that parents should point out children's mistakes in a polite manner and offer constructive suggestions, instead of simply chattering away all day long. Besides, when the children think of some new ideas, parents should encourage them to have a try rather than pour cold water on their enthusiasm. In a word, if handled properly, generation gap is certain to be narrowed.Unit 1 Relationships Lesson 3 So Close, Yet So Far—高二英语北师大版（2019）选择性必修第一册随堂小练
一、阅读理解
1． I decided at 10 that I was going to be a teacher because I had a burning desire for superpowers. As a boy, I could clearly see some of my teachers had extraordinary powers.
There was an English teacher in fifth grade who could magically transport us to different worlds every day by telling us stories and reading to us from books we would otherwise never pick up. This was our secret and fun time because fifth graders were considered too old to have stories read out to them.
It was even shocking that my teacher could see the invisible. I was one of those who lacked insight. Yet my teacher would notice me and the unspoken message in her eyes suggested that she could see me through. She had another superpower and even after four decades, I could still vividly remember her lessons about the great masters of art and great geographers, expanding our horizons. She did this even though her major was not art, nor geography. Her lessons went beyond the textbook. I knew I wanted to be one of those all-seeing ones with superpowers that made children feel safe and valued.
I know being a teacher isn't the easiest or the most financially rewarding among jobs. And there are occupational risks—your knees can become worn out from years of carrying piles of notebooks up and down the school staircase and your voice can give in from too much talking. But despite all that, there are those choosing this cause. To them, teaching is not just a job—it is a science, an art and a craft, and it demands emotional labour and investment.
All my life, for three decades now, I've gone to work early each day with a spring in my step. Occasionally, I meet my former students. Their obvious love for me and fond memories of our time together are my rewards. When I meet others who thirst for superpowers, like the brand new teacher struggling to perfect her skills with a brave face on, or the one in a remote, rural school travelling 70 kilometres each day just for his pupils, I feel proud to belong to the same group.
1.What can be inferred about the stories from Paragraph 2
A.They were told in a magic way. B.They were written by the teacher.
C.They contained some students' fun secrets. D.They left the students with happy memories.
2.Which of the following best describes the English teacher

3.What do we know about the author as a teacher
A.He suffered a lot in his knees and voice.
B.He thought teaching was more than spreading knowledge.
C.He had some ideas of how to be a teacher at a young age.
D.He was rewarded with much money for his devotion at school.
4.What can be concluded about being a teacher from the text
A.With one thousand times for the peach garden sweet.

2． Andrew Kirby was used to sitting alone at lunch. The high school sophomore was never especially social and making friends hasn't been easy. He was born with a neurological disorder and has undergone several major surgeries over his life.
"A lot of times at lunch I'll text Andrew," explained his mom, Kay Kirby. "I said, 'Are you eating with anyone ' And he said 'No.' And I sat at my desk at work and just prayed 'Good Lord, please send somebody to eat with him.'"
But that changed on the first day of school this year when members of the Student Council noticed that Andrew was eating alone and invited him to join them.
"If we were sitting by ourselves, we would want someone to sit with us so we didn't want kids to have to sit by themselves," one student said. Added another, "Everyone needs to have someone and anyone can be a help with that."
"It's very encouraging to know that there are teenagers out there that took their time. They weren't being in their own clique, they weren't being selfish, and they took their time to reach out to somebody who might be different. And you know, you never know what a child is going through—maybe they've got a bad home life, maybe they're depressed, and there's a kid sitting by themselves and they noticed that," Kay said. "I have peace at lunch now. I don't feel like I need to text him and check on him."
What started as a small act of kindness has even gone beyond the lunchroom. The group invited Andrew to go to the movies with them a couple weeks ago.
What's more, he's been eating lunch with them every day since.
1.What problem did Andrew have at school
A.He wasn't easy-going to deal with. B.He liked to eat alone at lunch.
C.He was joked more by his classmates. D.He had trouble spending time with others.
2.What does the underlined word "that" refer to
A.Sitting alone at lunch. B.Undergoing major surgeries.
C.Texting at lunchtime. D.Making friends.
3.What does Kay feel now
A.Worried. B.Pleased. C.Puzzled. D.Embarrassed.
4.What does Kay think of the teenagers
A.They belong to their own groups. B.They are difficult to understand.
C.They are actually full of love. D.They are different in character.
3． Over the summer, one of my teenage son's high school classmates lived in a remote country place where she lacked reliable Internet and phone service. Because it was hard to call or text his friend or reach her on social media, Will tried to sit down and write a letter once a week.
When Will asked for materials to get started, I struggled to remember where we stored the paper and envelopes. Once we fished the essentials from a shelf and Will hiked to the post office for stamps, which required us to recall just where the nearest post office was, he settled into a spot near the living room window. That was his letter comer, where I'd routinely spot a 21st-century adolescent with a sheet of paper on his lap, writing away.
Later, I asked him if writing a letter felt any different from writing an email, text, or post. "What I'm learning," he said, "is that you don't want to write about the news in a letter. By the time the letter gets where it's going, the news has moved on."
Given the endless change of current events, a letter about the latest political mistakes or Hollywood news would become outdated. To really succeed, a proper letter must push both the writer and the reader beneath the current of the headlines, into the depth of life, personal thoughts and private dreams.
Virginia Woolf, who died in 1941, worried in her own time that "as communication became cheaper and easier, people would think less about what they were trying to say, giving up the ideal(典范) of letters that were encouragements to careful composition, to the finishing of sentences and the arts of the writing master".
I'm not giving up my smartphone and laptop, and I'd be lost without the convenience of connecting with others each day with them. But my 17-year-old reminded me that in an age of instant communication, mail still has its good values.
1.Why did Will write a letter once a week
A.To experience the joy of writing. B.To improve his writing skills.
C.To keep in touch with his friend. D.To spread news to others secretly.
2.What can we infer from the second paragraph
A.The writer helped mail the letters. B.The writer does little letter writing.
C.The writer got everything ready for Will. D.The writer made a letter comer for Will.
3.What did Will learn from his experience of writing letters
A.Current events happen every day. B.Writing letters is really out of date.
C.News spreads slowly through letters. D.Something thoughtful should be written.
4.What did Woolf worry about
A.People would communicate causally. B.People would quit their pursuit of ideals.
C.People would lose the art of writing. D.People would treat writing as an easy thing.

4． 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Some Ways to Respectfully Disagree
It's easier to agree than disagree. But we can learn a lot from conversations where we don't see eye to eye. Unfortunately, many of us either shy away completely from disagreements or lose it when things don't go our way.
①_____ If you get upset, it can help to remember you're mad at the idea or concept your parent (or friend, coach, coworker, etc.) is raising, not the person.
Avoid putting down the other person's ideas. If you've ever been on the receiving end of someone's put-downs, you know how valuable using respectful language and behaviour can be. So instead of saying what you might be thinking "That's a stupid idea!", try " don't agree, and here's why." ②_____
Listen to the other point of view. When the other person is talking, try to stop yourself from thinking about why you disagree or what you'll say next. ③_____ When it's your turn to talk, repeat any key points the other person made to show you listened and heard what was said. Then calmly present your case and why you disagree.
Use "I" statements to communicate. ④_____ For example, telling your mom or dad, "You always remind me about my chores on Wednesdays when you know I have a lot of homework" has a very different tone from "I'm feeling pressured because I have a lot of homework tonight. Can I do those chores tomorrow "
⑤_____ Being helpful and considerate towards family members, teachers, or coaches in our everyday actions helps all of us establish a foundation for those times when we might disagree.
A. Don't make it personal.
B. Instead, focus on what's being said.
C. Don't comment on private things.
D. Respect goes beyond difficult conversations.
E. Therefore, listening to others is greatly important.
F. So resist the temptation to make offensive comments.
G. Using "you" statements can sound argumentative.
5． Many kids and teenagers have cellphones in their hands. However, is it really necessary for them to have phones at school Here are the pros and cons.
Pros
They can get in touch when necessary. The main benefit of having a phone is that your children can get in touch with you whenever they need to. ①___________ They can call the emergency services if necessary. If your children are in immediate danger, they can use their phones to call not only you but the emergency services. This is of great benefit and could potentially save your children's lives.
②___________ As long as your children remember to do this, their phones won't cause distraction (分心) in class. Giving them a standard instead of a smartphone will also reduce the risk of distraction.
Cons
The latest smartphones can almost double as a computer. It means they offer far more of a distraction to kids than they used to. ③___________ All these characteristics could disturb your children's concentration (注意力) if they play with them in class.
Cellphones could interrupt lessons. Many children, even though they are asked to do so, forget to turn off their phones during lessons and their phones may make sounds. ④___________ Besides the distraction problem, cellphones can also be used to look up answers on the Internet. ⑤___________ The possibility of children having access to these during exams could be loo attractive for them not to take advantage of.
A.CellphonesA.Cellphones can be turned off or put on mute.
B.Children use ordinary phones instead of smart phones.
C.This allows you to feel they are safe and easy to reach.
D.Without cellphones, campus life would be less colourful.
E.They have some other functions—a calculator and the ability to save notes.

一、阅读理解
Popularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional intelligence(情商). Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person’s makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and “people skills.” Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.
We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.
Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis(重视) on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.
Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives(视角) from which to study how people manage their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.
1．What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence
A. It can be measured by an IQ test. B. It helps to exercise a person’s mind.
C. It refers to a person’s positive qualities. D. It includes a set of emotional skills.
2．Why does the author mention “doctor” and “cheater” in paragraph 2
A. To explain a rule. B. To present a fact.
C. To make a prediction. D. To clarify a concept.
3．What is the author’s attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence
A. Favorable. B. Intolerant. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
4．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence
A. Its appeal to the public. B. Its practical application.
C. Expectations for future studies. D. Scientists with new perspectives.
5． Teens who have good, supportive relationships with their teachers enjoy better health as adults, according to the research published by an American research centre.
"The research suggests that improving students' relationships with teachers could have positive and long-lasting effects beyond just academic success," said Jinho Kim, a professor at Korea University and author of the study. "It could also bring about health implications in the long run."
Previous research has suggested that teens' social relationships might be linked to health outcomes in adulthood. However, it is not clear whether the link between teen relationships and lifetime health is causal(因果关系的)—it could be that other factors, such as different family backgrounds, might contribute to both relationship problems in adolescence and to poor health in adulthood. Also, most research has focused on teens' relationships with their peers(同龄人), rather than on their relationships with teachers.
To explore those questions further, Kim analysed data on nearly 20,000 participants from the Add Health study, a national study in the US that followed participants from seventh grade into early adulthood. The participant pool included more than 3,400 pairs of siblings(兄弟姐妹). As teens, participants answered questions, like "How often have you had trouble getting along with other students and your teachers " As adults, participants were asked about their physical and mental health.
Kim found that participants who had reported better relationships with both their peers and teachers in middle and high school also reported better physical and mental health in their mid-20s. However, when he controlled for family background by looking at pairs of siblings together, only the link between good teacher relationships and adult health remained significant.
The results suggest teacher relationships are more important than previously realised and that schools should invest in training teachers on how to build warm and supportive relationships with their students. "This is not something that most teachers receive much training in," Kim said, "but it should be."
1.What does the underlined word "implications" in Paragraph 2 refer to
A.Recipes. B.Habits. C.Benefits. D.Risks.
2.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A.Poor health in adolescence. B.Limitations of the previous research.
C.Teens' relationships with their peers. D.Factors affecting health in adulthood.
3.What does Kim's research show
A.Good adult health depends on teens' good teachers.
B.Good family background promises long-term adult health.
C.Healthy peer relationship leads to students' academic success.
D.Positive student-teacher relationship helps students' adult health.
4.Wherefrom A.AA.Atext probably come from A.AA.A health magazine. B.A medical report.
C.A term paper. D.A family survey.
6． My son Jack and I were watching television together. At the hour we were awake, the rest of the family was sound asleep.
Our deal is that we swap TV shows. The arrangement suits me since I can tolerate cartoons more than most adults. There we lay on the couch together, father and son, his sweet head resting on my chest.
When it came to my turn to pick the show, I went with "The Night Manager", a British spy thriller. It lived up to its billing, but as I quickly learnt, certain scenes aren't suitable for children.
"Eyeballs, Jack," I commanded. This is our code for when he needs to shut his eyes, while I'll turn down the volume and get by on subtitles. When I restore the volume, Jack knows he's free to redirect his look towards the television.
This particular scene went on for a bit, both in length and content, enough that I felt the need to cover his eyes with my hand. What happened next took my breath away.
As I watched, my own view was blocked by a little hand. Jack had seen fit to block my eyes just the way I was defending his. I'm not sure whether he was just trying to be funny or not. But the moment brought two thoughts to my mind, one specific and the other general.
First, it's high time to give up the eyeballs rule. It's not helping. Second and more broadly, I need to quit being too clever by half. It's the tendency to write my own rules.
By pursuing two conflicting goals—entertaining myself while spending quality time (if only watching television) with my youngest son—I was achieving neither. I was wrong.
Am I reading too much into my son's natural act Perhaps. But only a child could so clearly and lovingly communicate a message I badly needed to hear, so perhaps not.
1. What deal did the writer make with Jack
A. Watching TV together. B. Taking turns in choosing TV shows.
C. Keeping awake to watch TV. D. Avoiding watching cartoons.
2. What will Jack do when the writer say "eyeballs"
A. Read the subtitles on the screen. B. Turn down the volume.
C. Close his eyes at once. D. Fix his attention on the TV.
3. How did the writer find Jack's blocking him viewing TV
A. A surprise. B. A trick. C. A comfort. D. A protection.
4. What did the writer learn from watching TV with his son
A. Adults have rights to rule their children. B. Adults lose their interest in finding joy.
C. Adults shouldn't entertain themselves. D. Adults should see things as a child.

③_______She always said to them, “Ignore that goal, and put yourself at the goal you want to achieve. Even if you are not good at your subject, it doesn’t mean that you’re going to get a D. I believe you’re going to get something far greater.”
Giving students that push to get better grade made a great difference to them. When they got it, the result was just amazing.”④________You’ve helped them with something that’s going to make their lives much easier and better,” she explained.
