Every year, I tell my sons what I'd like for Mother's Day: a letter, something written from the heart and offered freely rather than bought from a store and wrapped neatly. I don't always get my wish, nor do I always take the time to write to my own mother.
This year, my boys will be in two different states on Mother's Day. My mom and dad will be away together, and I'll be driving home from a writer's workshop in Massachusetts. Thinking of the fact that many friends have already lost their mothers and that a few have lost children, I am deeply grateful that what separates us, for now at least, is only distance. It won't always be so, and there is no way to prepare for that fact other than to appreciate the moment that is. My sons know that they can please me on Sunday with a phone call or an e-mail, and that is enough as I love their words. The very best gift they can possibly give me is their own happiness, the very fact of their busy, full and well-lived lives.
Still, knowing that my years of staying with my sons are over, I do feel doleful. The truth is, I miss being the center of the universe to two little boys. And this holiday can be a bit painful.
I wonder if my own mother ever felt nostalgic (怀旧的，乡愁的) for the passing of my childhood. I wonder if she realizes that she is still at the center of my universe and always has been. I don't often pause to think about it, but of course she is the one who has been right there, at my side from the moment I drew my very first breath. How to ever fully appreciate the woman whose presence and love and example have shaped me into the adult I am? How to describe even a small part of the sharing, sacrificing, and support she has given me over the years?
1.The author mainly wants to tell us through the first paragraph that_______.
A. she hopes to get her son's letters very much
B. her sons don't often write to her on Mother's Day
C. Mother's Day is the very date that she looks forward to most
D. Children are often careless about their parents’ request (请求).
2.The author is deeply grateful for the present life because_______.
A. her sons don't live far away from her home
B. her parents and children are still alive
C. her parents are coming to her house to spend Mother's Day
D. her sons can please her on Sunday with a phone call
3.What does the underlined word "doleful" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. sad B. disappointed
C. exhausted D. amused
4.What will the author probably tell about after the last paragraph?
A. She'll tell the reader about her mother's present situation.
B. She'll describe the reunion of her family on Mother's Day.
C. She'll talk about how her mother educated and cared for her.
D. She'll tell the reader about her mother's achievements in her career.

Did you enjoy yourself yesterday? I suppose you do. But I’d like to tell you what a bad day I had yesterday. Nothing just went wrong. On the morning, my alarm clock didn’t ring, since I woke up an hour late. I was in such a hurry that I burnt my hand when I was cooking the breakfast. Then I ran out of the house to catch the 8:30 buses. This is the bus I usually take. But, you may laugh, I missed it of course. I am very unhappy, and scared as well because teacher hates the students coming late to school. So I ran three mile to school only to discover that nobody was there. The school was quiet but peaceful. Our classroom was locked. I realized that moment: It was Sunday.

Every summer, no matter how urgent work schedule is, I take off one day exclusively for my son. We call it dad-son day. This year our third stop was the amusement panic, where we discovered that he was tall enough to ride one of the fastest roller coasters (过山车)in the world. We experienced through face-stretching turns and circles for ninety seconds. Then, as we stepped off the ride, in a calm voice, he remarked that it was not as exciting as other rides he’d been on. As I listened, I began to sense something seriously out of balance.
Throughout the season, I noticed similar events all around me. Parents found it hard to find new stimulations for cold kids. Surrounded by ever-greater stimulation, their young feces were looking disappointed and bored
Facing their children's complaints of "nothing to do", parents were spending large numbers of dollars for various forms of entertainment In many cases the money seemed to do little more than buy relief from the terrible complaint of their bored children. This set me thinking the obvious question: "How can it be so hard for kids to find something to do when there's been such a range of stimulating entertainment available to them?"
What really worries me is the strength of the stimulation. I watch my little daughter's &ce as she absorbs bloody special effects in movies.
Why do children facing such excitement seem starved for more? Thai was, I realized, the point I discovered during my own adolescence that what creates excitement is not going fast, but going faster. Excitement has less to do with speed than changes in speed.
I am concerned about the increasing effect of years at these levels of feverish activity. It is no mystery to me why many teenagers appear uninterested and burned out, with a "been there, done that" air of indifference toward much of life. As increasing numbers of friends’ children are advised to take medicine to deal with inattentiveness at school or anti-depressants (抗抑郁药)to help with the loss of interest and joy in their lives—I question the role of kids’ boredom in some of the diagnoses (处方).
My own work is focused on the chemical imbalances and biological factors related to behavioral and emotional disorders. These are complex problems. Yet I’ve been reflecting more and more on how lie pace of life and the strength of stimulation may be contributing to the rising rates of psychological problems among children and adolescents in our society.
1.The reason why the author felt surprised in the amusement park was that ________.
A．his son was not as excited by the roller coasters ride as expected
B．his songs enjoyed turns and circles with his face stretched
C．his son appeared upset but calm while riding the roller coasters
D．his son could keep his balance so well on the fast moving roller coasters
2.According to the author, children will probably feel excited ________.
A．if their parents allow them to ride roller coasters very often
B．since parents spend money on the same form of entertainment
C．after they take anti-depressants according to the diagnoses
D．if they are often exposed to more stimulating entertainment
3.From his own experience, the author came to the conclusion that children seem to expect _______.
A．a much wider variety of sports facilities
B．activities that require complicated skills
C．the change of the forms of recreation
D．more challenging physical exercise
4.In order to relieve children's boredom, the author would probably suggest ________.
A．adjusting the pace of life and strength of stimulation
B．promoting the practice of dad-son days
C．consulting a specialist in child psychology
D．balancing school work with after school activities
