I received pictures of my daughter floating (漂浮) on a lake in California. Right there under the sun during the hottest time of the day, she has only her swimsuit to cover her.

When I showed it to my students, it was as if I had shown them scenes from a horror (恐怖) movie.

“But she will get dark,” they said.

“That’s what she wants,” I told them. “We think darker skin (肤色) is beautiful.”

They looked at me in disbelief. It was as if I came from the moon.

For years, American girls spend their summer trying to get as tanned (晒黑) as possible. In China, on the other hand, girls use umbrellas all year round.

What in the world is going on?

The pale skin we think looks unattractive (不漂亮) is what Asian women want. Both groups want to meet their culture’s standard (标准) of beauty.

In the US, if you can afford to go on vacation in the summer, you head for a river, a lake or a beach, where you try to get as much sun as possible. If you are rich you take a winter vacation in some sunny spot. Your winter tan shows your wealth.

In China, once upon a time, the few wealthy were the ones who didn’t have to work out in the hot sun. So the whiter the skin, the richer the woman. The folk opera performers who play these ladies wore lots of white makeup (妆容). The tradition survives to this day.

So it comes naturally that none of my students wishes to follow the Western ways in this regard.

But now I am noticing that a new business – the tanning booth (美黑店) – started up in China. I admire those brave enough to define（给…下定义）their own idea of beauty, but I do wonder what their grandmothers would have to say to them about it!

1.The students were shocked at the picture the writer showed them because ______.

A. they thought it shameful for a girl only to wear a swimsuit

B. the writer’s daughter was wearing very little while out in the sun

C. it is dangerous for a girl to be out on a lake alone

D. with the powerful sunlight the writer’s daughter would have got a suntan

2. According to the article, which kind of woman meets the American standard of beauty?

A. Women with blond hair.                                        B. Women with a slim figure.

C. Women with tanned skin.                                        D. Women with pale skin.

3. In the US a winter tan usually means the person _____.

A. is hard-working                                           B. doesn’t have to work

C. has a lot of money and spare time                          D. is from a very poor family

4.The writer ______ the tanning booth started up in China.

A. is not interested in                                                       B. doesn’t understand

C. doesn’t like                                                                       D. has mixed feelings about

高一英语完形填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

On her first morning in America, last summer, my daughter went out to explore her new neighborhood alone.

Of course we were worried; we had just moved from Berlin, and she was just 8. But when she came home, we realized we had no reason to worry. She told us with pride how she had discovered the little park around the corner, and had made friends with a few local dog owners.

When this story comes up in conversations with American friends, we are usually met with polite disbelief.

A study by the University of California has found that American kids spend 90 percent of their free time at home, often watching TV or playing video games. Even when kids are physically active, they are watched closely by adults, either in school, at home, at afternoon activities or in the car. It seems that America’s middle class has taken overprotective parenting to a new level, with the government even acting as a super nanny.

Just take the example of the case of 10-year-old Rafi and 6-year-old Dvora Meitiv in 2015, in Silver Spring, Maryland, who were picked up by the police because their parents had dared to allow them to walk home from the park alone. The state’s Child Protective Services said their parents were guilty.

In reality, child abductions (绑架) by strangers in Silver Spring park are as rare as tiger attacks. Children are overprotected, which encourages dependency and affects their abilities to care for themselves and weigh risks. Mark Hemingway writes in The Federalist, “You know what it’s called when kids make mistakes without adult supervision (监督) and have to struggle with the possible results? Growing up.”

At least, parents who want to give their children more room to walk around shouldn’t be punished. Children are not easily damaged objects to be protected at all times.

1.Why does the author mention his daughter’s experience?

A.To express his worry about her safety.

B.To share the happiness of her growing up.

C.To show she has the space to take risks alone.

D.To encourage us to learn about the environment.

2.What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?

A.How American kids are raised at present.

B.Why many American kids like staying home.

C.The necessity of supervising kids in America.

D.The weaknesses of the American school system.

3.How is the text mainly developed?

A.By telling an interesting story.

B.By using examples to explain.

C.By pointing out similarities and differences.

D.By showing the effect and then explaining the causes.
