Bags
of
Love
Last
year,
I
worked
in
a
middle
school
near
my
mother's
house,
and
I
stayed
with
her
for
a
month.
During
that
time,
I
helped
her
do
some
housework
and
buy
some
food.
After
the
first
week,
I
noticed
that
the
food
was
eaten
up
very
quickly.
Then
I
began
keeping
an
eye
on
my
mum.
To
my
surprise,
I
found
that
she
would
put
some
of
the
food
into
a
paper
bag
and
go
out
with
it
at
about
nine
every
morning.
And
finally,
I
decided
to
follow
her.
I
saw
her
taking
the
food
to
the
street
children.
She
would
also
spend
a
lot
of
time
talking
and
playing
with
them.
One
day,
I
talked
to
a
neighbour
and
found
out
that
my
mum
was
well-known
in
the
area.
The
children
were
very
friendly
with
her
and
even
thought
of
her
as
their
own
mother.
Then
it
hit
me
--
why
wouldn't
she
want
to
tell
me
about
it?
Was
she
worried
that
I
would
stop
buying
food
if
I
found
out?
When
my
mum
got
home,
I
gave
her
a
big
hug
(拥抱).
I
told
her
she
didn't
need
to
keep
it
a
secret
from
me.
And
she
told
me
something
about
the
children.
Some
of
them
lived
with
an
old
lady
in
a
small
house.
Others
slept
on
the
street.
For
years,
she
was
helping
the
poor
street
children
by
giving
them
food.
After
she
told
me
everything,
I
was
so
moved
by
how
selfless
(无私的)
she
was.
She
helped
others
in
need.
As
her
son,
I
was
so
proud
of
my
mum.
I
continued
to
buy
food
for
my
mum
after
that.
But
I
always
added
one
more
bag
for
her
other
children.
21.
After
the

week,

that
_____.
A.the

followed

Jenny
and
her
sister
Carol
did
a
personality
(性格)
test,
and
they
were
not
very
happy
with
the
results.
"Hey,
I
get
62
points.
The
results
say
that
l
am
boastful
(自夸的).
But
I
think
I
am
not
boastful,"
said
Jenny.
"Well,
maybe
a
little,
Jenny.
Do
you
remember
the
time
when
you
got
top
grades
in
the
English
test?
You
kept
going
around
and
told
everybody.
And
then
you
asked
Paul
about
his
grades.
You
knew
how
bad
he
was
in
English,"
said
Carol.
"But
look
at
my
results.
I
only
get
19
points.
Do
you
think
I
am
shy
and
indecisive
(优柔断的)?"
"Yes,"
said
her
sister.
"When
did
you
last
make
a
decision
about
anything
?"
"I
decided
to
get
up
this
morning,"
said
Carol.
"Good!
And
then
you
asked
me
what
you
should
wear
and
if
it
was
a
good
idea
to
play
tennis
this
afternoon
with
your
friends!"
"Yes.
Well,
I
sometimes
do
have
problems
reaching
a
decision
but
only
on
unimportant
things."
"Really?"
asked
her
sister.
"Is
that
why
you
ask
Mom
what
you
should
study
and
where?
Is
that
anything
unimportant?
You
always
want
others
to
make
decisions
for
you."
"Maybe.
I
am
just
afraid
of
making
a
wrong
decision,"
said
Carol.
25.

say
about
Jenny?

was
ready
to
help
others.

was
a
boastful
person.
C.She

If
parents'
aim
is
only
to
make
a
child
be
a
genius
(天才),
they
will
cause
a
disaster.
Several
leading
educational
psychologists
(心理学家)
say
this
is
one
of
the
biggest
mistakes
that
can
cause
great
problems
to
children.
However,
if
parents
are
a
little
gentler,
the
child
may
act
successfully—especially
if
the
parents
can
support
him.
Michael
Li
is
very
lucky.
He
is
very
fond
of
music,
and
his
parents
help
him
a
lot
by
taking
him
to
concerts
and
inviting
a
teacher
to
give
him
personal
piano
lessons.
They
even
drive
him
59
kilometers
twice
a
week
for
violin
lessons.
Although
Michael's
mother
knows
very
little
about
music,
Michael's
father
plays
the
piano
very
well.
However,
he
never
makes
Michael
enter
music
competitions
if
he
is
unwilling.
Michael's
friend,
Winston
Chen,
however,
is
not
so
lucky.
Although
both
his
parents
are
successful
musicians,
they
set
too
high
a
standard
for
Winston.
They
want
their
son
to
be
as
successful
as
they
are,
so
they
enter
him
in
every
piano
competition
held.
They
are
very
unhappy
when
he
does
not
win.
"When
I
was
at
your
age,
I
used
to
win
every
competition
I
entered,"
Winston's
father
tells
him.
Winston
is
always
afraid
that
he
will
disappoint
(使失望)
his
parents
and
now
he
always
seems
quiet
and
unhappy.
28.
One
of
the
worst
mistakes
any
parent
can
make
is
to
_____.
A.pay
much
attention
to
their
child's
education
B.push
the
child
into
trying
to
achieve
too
much
C.make
their
child
become
a
musician
D.help
their
child
to
succeed
in
the
future
29.
Michael
Li
is
lucky
because
_____.
A.his
father
knows
music
and
teaches
him
much
B.his
parents
are
rich
enough
to
support
him
C.his
mother
doesn't
know
much
about
music
D.his
parents
help
him
in
a
wise
way
30.
The
two
examples
show
that
_____.
A.it
is
important
to
let
children
develop
in
their
own
way
B.it
is
successful
to
let
children
develop
without
others'
help
C.successful
parents
often
have
unsuccessful
children
D.the
more
you
help
your
children,
the
less
they
can
achieve

A
【解析】
此题是推理判断题,答案出处:Michael
Li
is
very
lucky.
He
is
very
fond
of
music,
and
his
parents
help
him
a
lot
by
taking
him
to
concerts
and
inviting
a
teacher
to
give
him
personal
piano
lessons.
They
even
drive
him
59
kilometers
twice
a
week
for
violin
lessons.
Although
Michael's
mother
knows
very
little
about
music,
Michael's
father
plays
the
piano
very
well.
However,
he
never
makes
Michael
enter
music
competitions
if
he
is
unwilling.
Michael
Li就非常幸运。他喜爱音乐,而他的父母就帮助他很多,带他去听音乐会,给他安排钢琴的家教。他们甚至一周两次开车带他去59公里以外上小提琴课。尽管Michael
Li的妈妈对音乐所知很少,可他的父亲钢琴弹得很好。然而,他爸爸也从来不在Michael
Li不愿意的情况下强迫他去参加音乐比赛。Michael's
friend,
Winston
Chen,
however,
is
not
so
lucky.
Although
both
his
parents
are
successful
musicians,
they
set
too
high
a
standard
for
Winston.
They
want
their
son
to
be
as
successful
as
they
are,
so
they
enter
him
in
every
piano
competition
held.
They
are
very
unhappy
when
he
does
not
win.
"When
I
was
at
your
age,
I
used
to
win
every
competition
I
entered,"
Winston's
father
tells
him.
Winston
is
always
afraid
that
he
will
disappoint
(使失望)
his
parents
and
now
he
always
seems
quiet
and
unhappy.
然而,Michael的朋友Winston
Chen可就没这么幸运了。他的父母都是成功的音乐家,可是这也使得他的父母对他抱有过高期望。他们想让Winston
Chen可以像他们一样成功,所以他们强迫他去参加所有举行的钢琴比赛。
而当他没有获胜时,他的父母就没有好脸色。Winston的父亲告诉他“当我像你这么大的时候,我可是在所有我参加过的比赛中都胜出的。”Winston现在总是害怕他会令他的父母失望,所以总是闷不吭声,
郁郁寡欢。从两个例子来看,不切实际的来自父母的期望会给孩子带来极大的伤害,所以应该让孩子按他们自己的方式发展。
因此,正确答案是A。

As
a
boy,
like
all
other
boys,
I
wanted
to
be
a
man.
But
my
parents
managed
everything
of
my
life.
"Boy,
Turn
off
TV!"
"Don't
play
the
computer!"
I
got
so
bored
with
their
orders.
I
wished
they
would
leave
me
alone.
Well,
my
wish
really
came
true.
My
parents
had
to
go
away
on
business
for
a
few
days.
I
felt
so
excited,
because
I
had
such
a
chance
to
do
what
I
wanted.
However,
things
were
completely
different.
I
found
myself
so
bad
at
even
some
basic
life
skills.
From
then
on,
I
came
to
understand
my
parents
and
learned
to
love
them.
