Last week my daughter was sick, so she had to stay at home. While staying at home, she looks at my hands and asks, “Your hands have this _______, right?” It’s true that my hands are shaking, not too much, not too _______, and if I really want, I can control that. When I was a kid, my mother _______ to find out why I had this. We went to quite a few _______, but none of them really _______ it. They then thought it was something psychological, not _______. As I grow up, I learned how to _______ it. But it’s still not very _______ to be asked about it. I _______ most people think that I had too much caffeine or drunk too much.

“Right”, I said, “I have this ________ I was a kid and I never knew why I really had this.” And there she goes ________ my entire sad world in just one tiny sentence: “Well, maybe it’s because you have some kind of superpower.” It took me a few good seconds to ________ after I heard this. And then a few ________ to think about it. Yes, maybe it’s because I have some kind of superpower, like too much ________ trying to find an outlet(出口), it’s ________ that kids find the best ________ in everything, even in the strangest things, while adults ________ to see every deviation(偏离) from the ________ as a “disease”.

So, next time you see my hands shaking, don’t you ever ________ to think I had too much caffeine or drunk too much. It’s not because of that. It’s because I have a superpower that is so ________ that my body can hardly hold it.

It was a long week for Amanda at school. She stayed after school to work on a special project(课题) three days in a row. When she got home on Friday, she dropped into the chair with a sigh.

“What’s going on, Amanda?” her dad asked as he was reading the newspaper.

“I have to create a webpage for my technology class, and it is taking a lot more time than I thought it would,” Amanda answered.

Her dad looked over his newspaper and asked Amanda what the webpage was about.

“It’s about the difference between newspaper news and Internet news,” Amanda said and added, “I have to provide information, examples and illustrations(插图).”

“Sounds tough; do you have someone to help you?” her dad asked.

“I have a partner named Zach,” Amanda replied. “We did research on the Internet today and found some pictures to use.”

Then Amanda explained to her father the main differences: newspaper news is printed on paper, and Internet news is published online; newspaper news is only available once a day, and Internet news is published almost as soon as the news happens; many newspapers don’t even print a daily paper, and Internet news is published around the clock.

Amanda’s dad asked, “Which type of news do you like better?”

“I like Internet news better because I like to learn about the news when it happens,” she answered.

Her dad said, “I still like newspaper news better because I like to hold the paper in my hands and turn the pages.”

Amanda dropped into her chair again and said, “You are so old school, Dad.”

1.Why did Amanda sigh when she came home?

高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

One day my 13-year-old daughter told me that she was going to spend the afternoon at her friend Jesse’s house. I didn’t doubt it until I called Jesse’s number to remind Liz that it was her turn to walk the dog, and Jesse’s mom picked up the phone and said, “I thought she and Jesse were planning to be at your house.” It turned out that the two of them had decided to hang out at a coffee shop instead. When I questioned my daughter, she replied coldly, “What’s the big deal? You’re such a psycho(精神变态者).”

Can you say it is right or wrong for them to behave like that? Their changeable personalities leave you feeling angry and guilty at the same time. In fact, if your kids don’t annoy you from time to time, you’re not doing your job.

“There’s nothing wrong about being angry with your child,” Says Laurence Steinberg, Ph.D., author of The 10 Basic Principles of Good Parenting. “Conflict is natural when your innocent, lovely child turns into an adolescent who can hardly tolerate (忍受) you. It’s part of the process of separation.” Kids insisted on their individuality with behavior to purposely drive you crazy. It’s their way of saying, “I am my own person” -- but doing it in a context that’s safe and that has clear limits.

So when your little darling changes into a silent person who still expects meals, clothing, and transportation, don’t panic. Here’s how to handle some common problems without losing your temper or your self-respect.

1.It can be learned from the first paragraph that ________.

A. Jesse’s mother told a lie

B. the writer was too sensitive

C. Liz told a lie to her mother

D. the writer’s daughter stayed at Jesse’s house

2.By saying “In fact, if your kids don’t annoy you from time to time, you’re not doing your job”, the writer probably means that _________.

A. when you are doing a job, your kids shouldn’t annoy you

B. parents should be responsible for children’s bad behavior

C. parents shouldn’t tolerate their children’s bad behavior

D. it’s understandable for kids to annoy their parents

3.What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?

A. It’s right for parents to be angry with their children.

B. It’s allowed for children to do anything as they like.

C. It’s bad behavior for children to drive their parents angry.

D. It’s normal for adolescents to go against the wishes of their parents sometimes.

4.What would the writer state in the following paragraphs?

A.How to be good parents.

B.How to be good children.

C.Rules for children to follow.

D.How to deal with adolescents’ common problems properly.
