29、故选B。.完形填空【语篇解读】普天之下的父母都希望自己的孩子完美，然而人无完人，何况是孩子？作者从自己孩子身上感悟出：孩子自己知道什么重要，尽管很难也会尽自己最大的努力去争取，这比完美更好。1选A身为人母和天下父母一样期待孩子完美。expect.with sb.期待着某人怎样。2选C根据2空后面的内容可推断出这里是在说Joe是个好(good)孩子。3选C他不属于那种顽皮的孩子，不会朝过往的车辆扔(threw)雪球。4选D或者在炎热的八月里让水球从楼上的窗户落下(dropped)去，砸在邮车上。5选B作者说自己的孩子尽管没有上述所提到的那些恶习，但(But)并不完美，从下文说孩子数学差可以得出答
30、案。6选C从幼儿园Joe就开始吃力地学数学。struggle with“作出极大的努力，奋斗”。7选D由语境可知，尽管Joe每年升级考试都过了，但成绩都不优秀，也从未(never)在班级名列前茅。8选D根据语境可知，作者羡慕(envied)那些朋友，他们的孩子有“数学基因”。9选D另一位母亲讲述她女儿六年级时就做高中代数了，作者(出于礼貌)只得勉强陪笑(smiled)。10选C这样的故事有很多(many)。作者习惯上常常会挂上电话，看看Joe，儿子有时在开心地打电子游戏，有时在画画，或在享受(enjoy)温暖的春天。11选Cwould表示(过去)总是，老是。12选B参见10题解析。13选D作者
