17、y Tuesday, I took leave of my desk at work and walked into a local Starbucks only to find a space where neither my clients nor my children would ask me to do something. Inside, I ran into Kate, a co-worker of mine. The topic of parenthood came up. I complained about how packed my schedule was. From
18、the minute I woke up to the minute I fell asleep, I was constantly in demand and always had someone knocking at the door. But a bit of sadness seemed to come over Kates face. “Well, my daughters in San Francisco and she doesnt seem to need me at all these days,” Kate said. It was in that moment that
19、 I realized although I might often feel in high demand, there will come a day when I will actually miss that same stress I then complained about. And as our conversation continued, it turned to our childrens younger years, with Kate smiling proudly, thinking of the little boy and girl she raised who
20、 are now a man and a woman. But I noticed her smile was marked with regret. She explained that she often wondered about what she could have done differently when her children were in their earlier years. This got me thinking. Is regret an unfortunate footnote (注脚) to parenthood? With that in mind, I
21、 asked six older parents one question: What is your biggest regret from your early days as a parent? It turned out that all of them thought they could have done it better. But, each of them also has a strong, healthy relationship with their kids. Whatever regrets their parents might have had about t
22、heir upbringing, one thing is clear - it didnt affect them in a meaningful way. - 4 - The bottom line is, we all feel like we could be doing this parenting thing better. And quite clearly, years later, were still going to look back and wish we tried things differently. But the past cant be changed,
23、and neither should it. 24What can be inferred from the first three paragraphs? AKate had the same problem as the authors. BThe two people had arranged to meet in the coffee shop. CThe author went to the coffee shop to escape from the pressure around him. DKate went to the coffee shop so no one could
24、 find her there. 25Why did Kate feel sad and regretful? AShe and her daughter had a fight. BShe hadnt paid enough attention to her kids. CShe thought that she could have done better in raising her kids. DShe was disappointed with her kids performance. 26What did the author find when the author spoke
25、 to six older parents? ASome of the parents have a bad relationship with their kids. BHe was moved by the love of these parents for their children. CThese parents improved their behavior after their kids grew up. DNone of the parents were completely satisfied with the way they raised their kids. 27W
26、hat is the text mainly about? AGive more love to your kids. BRegret for the parenting can be softened by time. CNearly all the parents have regretful parenting. DNever stop learning how to be a good parent from others. C. Once upon a time, a daughter complained to her father that her life was unhapp
27、y and that she was tired of struggling all the time. Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes, eggs and coffee beans in them. After 20 minutes, he took them out, putting the pota
28、toes - 5 - and eggs in a bowl and the coffee in a cup. Turning to his daughter, he said, “Look closer, and touch the potatoes.” She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her t
29、o taste the coffee. Its good smell brought a smile to her face. “Father, what does this mean?” she asked. He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and the coffee beans were in the same adversity(逆境)the boiling water. However, each one reacted differently. The strong and hard potato became soft
30、and weak in boiling water. The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard. However, the coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created somet
31、hing new. “Which one do you want to be like,” he asked. “When adversity knocks on your door, how will you respond?” In life, challenges happen to us all, but the only thing that truly matters is what happens within us. 28Why did the girl complain to her father? ABecause of her hard life. BBecause of
32、 her tiring job. CBecause of her fathers busy work. DBecause of the food her father cooked. 29What can we infer from this story? AThe girl liked the coffee best. BThe father was good at cooking. CThe girl didnt like the potatoes and eggs. DDifferent people have different reactions to adversity. 30Wh
33、at does the underlined word “fragile” mean in the 4th paragraph? Athick Beasily-broken Cstrong Dhard 31What would be the best title for the passage? AFather and daughter. BAdversities and a chef. CA chef and coffee beans. DChallenges and responses. D One of the qualities that most people admire in o
34、thers is the willingness to admit - 6 - ones mistakes. It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like “I was wrong about that,” and it is even harder to say, “I was wrong, and you were right about that.” I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake
35、fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain store in the neighborhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg boxes. Then he talked of an incident and I began to remember it. I was about eight years old at that time, and I had gone into the store with my mothe
36、r to do the weekly shopping. On that special day, I must have found my way to the food department where the incident took place.

37、 have stopped in front of them to admire the show. Just then a woman came by pushing her shopping cart and knocked off the pile of boxes. For some reasons, I decided it was up to me to put the boxes back together, so I went to work. The manager heard the noise and came pushing over to see what had h
38、appened. When he appeared, I was on my knees checking some of the boxes to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the person who was to blame. He scolded me loudly and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. My face turned red and I tried to explain, but it did no goo
