My son was badly hurt in a fire. After he 36  from a series of treatments, the doctors told him they would not do any operation for six months 37  it took long for the skin to stop shrinking (收缩). So, he had to return to college with a visible 10-inch 38  on his face.

He didn’t act in an ugly way so people didn’t treat him as an ugly man.

Therefore, concentrate on what you value 54  yourself, because if you can see that beautiful person, everyone you are in contact with will see the same 55 .

A few months before I was born, my Dad met a stranger who was new to our small town. From the beginning, Dad was fascinated with this enchanting newcomer and soon invited him to live with our family. The stranger was quickly accepted and was around to welcome me into the world a few months later.

As I grew up, I never questioned his place in my family. In my young mind, he had a special position. My parents were complementary instructors：Mom taught me the words, and Dad taught me to obey them. But the stranger... He was our storyteller. He would keep us spellbound for hours on end with adventures, mysteries and comedies(喜剧).

If I wanted to know anything about politics，history or science，he always knew the answers about the past, understood the present and even seemed able to predict the future! He made me laugh, and he made me cry. The stranger never stopped talking, but Dad didn't seem to mind.

I now know that my early concepts about relationship were influenced strongly by the stranger. Time after time, he opposed the values of my parents, yet he was seldom blamed...and NEVER asked to leave.

More than fifty years have passed since the stranger moved in with our family. He has blended(融合) right in but is not nearly as fascinating as he was at first. Still, if you were to walk into my parent's room today, you would still find him sitting over in his corner, waiting for someone to listen to him talk and watch him draw his pictures. His name?

We just call him...“TV”.

He has a younger sister now. We call her “Computer”.

A. ignored by the children

B. driven away for no reason

C. abandoned because it was too noisy

D. accepted by every family member

A. tell us some funny stories                     B. reject our proposals(提议)

C. influence the children's character                  D. predict the future

3.The underlined word “spellbound” in Paragraph 2 most probably means ________.

A. concentrated             B. puzzled

C. fascinated                D. astonished

4.What can we learn from the last three paragraphs of the passage?

A. The computer is more advanced and has gained greater popularity.

B. Old as he is，we like the stranger best.

Children, especially at young ages, are very creative. And creativity can be a glorious(极好的) thing. Look at all the amazing artists and architects that have created glorious pieces of history. Look at all the authors with the award winning books. Now I am not saying everyone is going to end up this way but creativity is an important part of growing up and becoming who you are. This should be encouraged in young children as well as the older children.

Young children grow up playing with make-believe. And so many people try to make their young child see that their invisible friend isn’t real or that talking when someone is not in the room is weird. To adults it is, but for small children it is them being creative. May it be them playing house, or chef, or playing with stuffed animals, it is their creative part coming out. Some kids can have fun playing with rocks and sticks and it’s because of their creativeness that they can do this. The invisible friend part is another part of being imaginative, and is not a bad thing since they will grow out of that phase(阶段). So encourage this and play along with them, play house, or stuffed animals or whatever they want to play. Help keep their imagination running. You can even make up games, like treasure hunts, or dinosaurs, super heroes; there is just so much you can choose from.

All this can help your children’s minds stay creative. The arts and music, even thoughts are an important part of life and important in our society. If we didn’t have and encourage creative thinking, we wouldn’t have had inventors, or philosophers, or as I said before, artists.

1.The underlined word “weird” is close in meaning to ________.

A. familiar        B. strange        C. common       D. natural

2.According to the author, if a child talks alone in a room, we should ________.

A. let him be

B. stop him from doing so

C. give him some advice

D. know that he is suffering from loneliness

3.What is mainly talked about in the passage?

A. How creative artists and architects are born.

B. How to help children grow up in a healthy way.

C. What kind of activities children like.

D. How to help children to be creative.

4.The author of the passage would agree that ________.

A. every child can become creative artists or inventors

B. creative people all show strange behaviors when young

C. creativity brings out great artists and architects

D. creativity is a natural ability to be born with
