30、 glad you would like to share your feelings with me. Its hardly surprising that your feelings of not being “grown up” have come on strongly at this point in your life, just before youre about to become a father. You are asking: will I make a good father? How will I cope? Should I have brought anothe
31、r little person into the world? Can I provide for it? Heeelp!

Its more true that men often behave like little boys. But nearly all people, at some moments in their lives, are capable of great maturity. Once
35、 your baby arrives, youll soon feel less childlike, or rather, less often. When your child tries to put its fingers into the electric plug, the adult in you will rise up to prevent it. Youll see you have very little in common with a needy child, particularly if its looking to you for comfort and sup
36、port. Comfort yourself, David, with two truths. One is that your friends laugh when they talk about this subject because they, like you, feel frightened. And remember that people who havent grown up dont go around talking about the fact that they dont feel grown-up.Hope my advice will be helpful and

While it is generally taken as an indicator of their marital (婚姻的) status, the prac
40、tice is primarily related to the Hindu religion. The dot goes by different names in different Hindi dialects, and “bindi” is the one that is most commonly known. Traditionally, the dot carries no gender restriction: Men as well as women wear it. However, the tradition of men wearing it has faded in
41、recent times, so nowadays we see a lot more women than men wearing one. The position of the bindi is standard: center of the forehead, close to the eyebrows. It represents a third, or inner eye. Hindu tradition holds that all people have three eyes: The two outer ones are used for seeing the outside
42、 world, and the third one is there to focus inward toward God. As such, the dot serves as a constant reminder to keep God in the front of a believers thoughts. Red is the traditional color of the dot. It is said that in ancient times a man would place a drop of blood between his wifes eyes to seal t
43、heir marriage. According to Hindu beliefs, the color red is believed to bring good fortune to the married couple. Today, people go with different colors depending upon their preferences. Women often wear dots that match the color of their clothes. Decorative or sticker bindis come in all sizes, colo
44、rs and variations, and can be worn by young and old, married and unmarried people alike. Wearing a bindi has become more of a fashion statement than a religious custom.33. Why did people in India start wearing a red dot on their forehead?A. To indicate their social rank.B. To show their financial st
45、atus.C. To show their religious belief.D. To highlight their family background.34. What is the importance of the third eye in Hindu tradition?A. To pay respect to God.B. To stay in harmony with nature.C. To see things with a subjective view.D. To observe the outside world more clearly. 35. Why was r
46、ed chosen as the original color of the bindi?A. The red dot represented the blood of God.B. Red stood for a wifes love for her husband.C. The word “bindi” means “red” in some Hindi dialects.D. Red was supposed to bring good luck to a married couple.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选
