18、was shopping in the supermarket when I heard a young voice. “Mom, come here! Theres a lady here my size!” The mother rushed to her son; then she turned to me to apologize. I smiled and told her, “Its okay.” Then I talked to the boy, “Hi, Im Darry Kramer. How are you?” He studied me from head to toe,
19、 and asked, “Are you a little mommy?” “Yes, I have a son,” I answered. “Why are you so little?” he asked. “Its the way I was born,” I said. “Some people are little. Some are tall. Im just not going to grow any bigger.” After I answered his other questions, I shook the boys hand and left.My life as a
20、 little person is filled with stories like that. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents.It takes only one glance to see my uniqueness. I stand three feet nine inches tall. I was born an achondroplasia dwarf (侏儒). Despite this, I did all the things other ki
21、ds did when I was growing up.I didnt realize how short I was until I started school. Some kids joked on me, calling me names. Then I knew. I began to hate the first day of school each year. New students would always stare at me as I struggled to climb the school bus stairs.But I learned to smile and
22、 accept the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life. I decided to make my uniqueness an advantage rather than a disadvantage. What I lacked in height, I made up for in personality.Im 47 now, and the stares have not diminished as Ive grown older. People are amazed when they see me driving.
23、I try to keep a good attitude. When people are rude, I remind myself, “Look what else I have-a great family, nice friends.”Its the childrens questions that make my life special. I enjoy answering their questions. My hope is that I will encourage them to accept their peers (a person of the same age,
24、class, position, etc.), whatever size and shape they come in, and treat them with respect.25Why did the mother apologize to the author?ABecause the boy studied the author from head to toe.BBecause the boy laughed at the author.CBecause they boy said the author was shorter than him.DBecause the mothe
25、r thought the boys words had hurt the author.26When did the author realize that she was too short?AWhen she grew up.BWhen she began to go to school.CWhen she was 47 years old.DWhen she met the boy in the supermarket.27Which of the following word can best replace the underlined word “diminished”?Adou

27、 Marriage and Family claims that all that time you spend parenting just doesnt matter. But its a claim that, despite the enthusiastic and widespread coverage by the media, does not hold water.The research suggests that childrens outcomes (including behavior problems, emotional problems, and academic
28、 performance) are barely connected with the time that parents spend with their children. The researchers examined the time diaries of 1, 600 children, looking at parenting time and outcomes when the kids were aged 3 to 11 in 1997, and again in 2002, when they were between 8 and 16.A time diary is a
29、detailed report showing you where your time is spent each day.This research largely reflects the failure of the authors to correctly measure parental input(投入).It just looked at time diaries from two particular days one a weekday and the other a weekend day.Trying to get a sense of the time you spen
30、d parenting from a single days diary is a bit like trying to measure your income from a single day. If yesterday was payday, you would look rich, but if its not, you would be reported as the poor. You get a clearer picture only by looking at your income-or your parenting time-over a more meaningful
31、period.What you did yesterday should not be taken as a representative of what you did last year. This is why most high-quality studies of parenting time focus on how often parents read to their children, play with them or help them with different approaches to parenting.As an exhausted parent who do
32、esnt get enough time to work out, and who hasnt seen a movie for months, I understand why so many of us might seize on studies suggesting that we should take more time for ourselves. Perhaps we should. But I agree with Ariel Kalil, a developmental psychologist, on the suggestion that when parents sp
33、end high-quality time with their children, their children are more likely to succeed.29The underlined words hold water in the first paragraph probably mean _.Ato be convincingBto be surprisingCto be confusingDto be usual30The study was conducted to explore the link between _.Aparenting time and chil
34、drens outcomesBtime diaries and child developmentCchildrens habits and parents influenceDdaily activities and childrens problems31How is Paragraph 4 mainly developed?ABy giving descriptions.BBy analyzing the cause.CBy making a comparison.DBy offering research findings.32The author may agree that hig
35、h-quality studies of parenting time should _.Abe completed in one monthBadopt some different approachesCconcentrate mainly on learning timeDbe based on data of a longer time periodDThe Sabi Sand Game Reserve in South Africa is one of the richest wildlife regions in the African continent. Over 200 sp
36、ecies of mammals and 350 different birds can be found in its vast plains, grasslands and forests.I spoke to Michael Rattray, chairman of the Sabi Sand management committee, about the management policies. “If in a thousand years time the reserve is still a wonderful habitat for wildlife, then we will
37、 have succeeded in our mission. Various measures are being put in place. These include dealing with the problem of erosion（侵蚀）. In 1996 we had abnormally high rainfall. This could have been absolutely destructive. However, we have successfully fought erosion using gabion stretchers, which are wire b
38、askets filled with rocks. We have also used a lot of old aerial photographs, which have helped us return the land to its earlier state. This meant recreating open grassland areas to attract different types of animals,”he said.Apart from these measures, the reserve employs a wide range of local worke
39、rs. Building staff accommodation of any sort would make a big impact on the environment and would go against the aim of keeping the reserve as natural as possible. Instead, transport is provided so employees can live a normal life with their families outside the area, and the human impact is kept to
40、 a minimum.Visitors to the reserve spend about six hours a day in open vehicles, observing wildlife on game drives. They are accompanied by a ranger and a local tracker. I shall never forget the moment on a game drive when a cheetah with her five cubs was pointed out to me. She was lying in a sea of
41、 long yellow grass, her markings almost invisible. We got close enough to hear her purr.The Sabi Sand Game Reserve is a place where animals have no fear of humans. It is impossible to quantify the benefits of spending time in such an environment.33What helped solve the problem of erosion?AHigh rainf

44、 be bad-tempered. This can be for a number of reasons.36 As the body and mind are tired, it seems to take us less time to become angry just because of something that is of little importance. Young children are usually the cause of tiredness and it is highly likely that parents allow themselves to re
45、lease(释放) their exhaustion directly at the children. Children are very good at remembering these instances and it will affect them for a long time. 37 Diet and lifestyle can be key factors in causing a bad temper. Some people dont realize that their diet can directly affect their moods. Processed fo
46、od and items that contain a lot of sugars, especially those that arent natural sugars, can cause a rise in blood sugar. 38 Similarly, lifestyle choices can encourage bad tempers and poor moods, especially if drug and alcohol are used too frequently.39 If you have noticed that you are becoming increa
47、singly bad-tempered, it is important that you take steps to try and regain control. 40 .After you find the cause, try and make positive changes to prevent this from occurring in the future.AFind your ways to release your anger.BCheck what it is that causes the bad mood.CTiredness is often the most c
48、ommon reason.DManaging your anger is good for your health.ETherefore, it is important to have more patience when with children.FThis rise can have a very negative effect on moods and mental performance.GSo it is important to keep away from these temptations(诱惑) for your own mental state.第三部分: 语言知识运用
