I had my first job at the age of thirteen, when a friend of my mother’s who owned a bookshop _36me for six hours a week to help her in the shop. I was very 37to earn my own pocket money and my parents 38interfered(干涉) with how I spent it, even when I was spending it 39. They believed that by earning money, spending it, and learning from the 40, I would become more mature(成熟) and 41 about how to handle work, relationships with others, and money.

Like many 42parents, my parents also let me and my brothers do things over which they43  a great deal. When I was sixteen, for example, after I finished high school and before I entered university, I wanted to spend the summer months traveling around   44. My mother was against the idea of my traveling alone at such a young age, but my father felt that it would be a great 45for me. In the end, my father won the 46on the condition that I limited my traveling to France, my mother’s home, where I had many uncles, aunts and cousins 47through the country who could 48shelter and help if I need them.

Three years later, my younger brother decide to 49 a year off after his first year in university and travel through the United States and the Caribbean. Again my mother was very worried and not   50to see my brother leave school, but my father encouraged him and my brother had a(n) 51year working his way on trains and ships to 52passage to different ports and cities, and discovering many fascinating places and people.

These kinds of experiences are probably rare(稀少的) for children in many countries but in the US they are fairly 53. Most parents start 54their children at a young age to do small things by themselves. By the time they have finished high school, many American kids have already had part-time jobs, traveled around the US or other countries on their own, have 55the university they plan to attend and maybe even decided on their future career, and so on.

I became a teacher at 55 years of age. Things were going on so well during my first two periods. Then came my 3rd period class – the 8th graders with only one girl in the class. I thought the class was bad until the intercom(内部通话系统) came on and the office was asking if I was in my classroom. “Of course,” I responded. A student who knew he was going to be late for class had informed the office I was not in my classroom – 10 minutes after class began.

When the student came in and I walked over to greet him, he said, “Don’t touch me.” He then put his head on his desk and did not seem to listen to a word I said. I did not comfront(使面对) him with the “lie” to the office.

The next day he came into class on time. This time instead of listening or following instructions on keyboarding software, he played Internet games. I walked over to him. He looked at me ready to snap back(没好气地顶撞) at anything I said. I asked him, “Where did you learn to use a computer like that?” he looked at me surprised. I repeated, “You are really good at that. Where did you learn so much?” He began to tell me his father “used to” buy him games to play, but not anymore. I could feel the pain. Instead of blaming him for being off task, I surprised him and praised him for his skills. Then, I asked him to show me what he could do in our software. He was amazed.

On a Friday night at a high school football game, I really got my breakthrough(突破). From about five feet away, in front of his friends he came over to me and gave me a big hug saying, “Hi, Ms. Marie.” We talked for a while and before he walked away, he had hugged me two more times. This was a long way from “don’t touch me” on that first day.

1.How did the boy react(反应) towards Ms. Marie’s greeting on the first day?

A. Gratefully.　　 　 B. Coldly.

C. Respectfully.　　　 D. Amazedly.

2.From the dialogue between Ms. Marie and the boy in Paragraph 3, we can infer that _____.

A. the boy was impatient with Ms. Marie’s interruption

B. the boy was proud to show how to play games

C. Ms. Marie was curious about the boy’s father

D. Ms. Marie felt sorry for the boy

3.By saying “I really got my breakthrough”, Ms. Marie meant _____.

A. she finally learned to play games

B. she won the boy’s trust in the end

C. she scored at the football game

D. she made great achievements in teaching

Children of America are getting fatter every time. 13% of the children at the age of 6 to 11 are overweight(too fat).

When we look at the children's lives today in the USA, we can see the root(origin)of the problem----sports and foods. Young children like sports but they don't have enough around the start of high school. That's especially true for girls. Meanwhile, to make matters worse, schools are becoming much more interested in sports teams. So children are not able to get enough exercise just when they need it the most. There is also the food problem. Children get most of their calories at restaurants or parties or somewhere else away from home. They often drink too many Cokes. Parents have a lot of fears about telling a child he needs to lose weight-- they are afraid it will push a child into an eating disorder. Some parents fear that pushing children to lose weight means their children will think they're not good enough, or not loved because of their weight. Parents need to come to terms with the fact that the family is very important to the children. The most useful program for children is called "family weight control". This is good news. Mom and Dad, even if they don't have weight problems, have to go through the same program as their children and learn how to get some exercise and how to eat healthily.

1.Why are American children getting fatter? The writer thinks
