高二英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析
Some of my fondest memories with my family are from when I was in middle school， when the three of us enjoyed trips that I remember vividly to this day. But during my younger days， like 4 or 5 years old， we vacationed in places like Cancun， Jamaica and Hawaii and I can't tell whether I actually recall those memories or whether I'm filling in the gaps through photo albums.
A frequent discussion I have with my coworkers and friends，' who are also in their 20s， is how we wish our parents had taken us on more vacations when we were much older. What I suggest is to hold off on those grand vacations until your kid is about 12， when they can begin to understand what a privilege is， and you can save the international travel until they're in high school. Of course， I do understand that sometimes， it's not the kids but the parents who just want to enjoy a vacation. But in other cases， when the main goal is to create family memories， you can still accomplish that in other ways.
It wasn't until college that I realized how important travel is， and I can't tell you how many times I've thought about wanting to redo those family trips now. Especially during a time in my life when an international trip is outside of my budget， I think about how much money my parents spent on our vacations that ended up being a complete blur.
I'm not telling you to deprive （剥夺） your children of fun family memories， either. I'm simply arguing that you should travel locally or within your state. Although your little ones might not care about the destination， they will remember that you are all together and have a great time. That's the most important thing， anyway.
1.When recalling the previous trip to Hawaii，the author may feel _____________ .
A.disappointed B.excited
C.touched D.frightened
2.What time does the author think is the right time for children to travel abroad?
A.When they start to go to school.
B.When they 'are4 or 5 years old.
C.When they study in high school.
D.When they are eager to have a trip.
3.What does the underlined word “blur” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Jokes that are made between families.
B.Efforts that are made to achieve a goal.
C.Memories that can't be remembered clearly.
D.Expectations that may be reached in future.
4.What may be the best title for the text?
A.Create Chances of Vacations with Children
B.My Memories of Previous Vacations
C.Older Children Hope to Travel with Their Parents
D.Take Children on Vacation until They Are Old
