Children find meanings in their old family tales.
When Stephen Guyer’s three children were growing up, he told them stories about how his grandfather, a banker,1all in the 1930s, but did not lose sight of what he valued most. In one of the darkest times2his strong-minded grandfather was nearly3, he loaded his family into the car and4them to see family members in Canada with a5, “there are more important things in life than money”.
The6took on a new meaning recently when Mr. Guyer downsized to7house from a more expensive and comfortable one. He was8 that his children, a daughter, 15, and twins, 22, would be upset.To his surprise, they weren’t.9 , their reaction echoed (共鳴) their great-grandfather’s.What they10was how warm the people were in the house and how11of their heart was accessible.
Many parents are finding that family stories have surprising power to help children
12 hard times. Storytelling experts say the phenomenon reflects a growing13in telling tales, evidenced by a rise in storytelling events and festivals.
A university14of 65 families with children aged from 14 to 16 found kids’ ability to15parents’ stories was linked to a lower rate of anger and anxiety.
The16is telling the stories in a way children can17. We’re not talking here about the kind of story that18, “ When I was a kid, I walked to school every day uphill both ways, barefoot in the snow.” Instead, we should choose a story suited to the child’s19, and make eye contact (接觸) to create “a personal experience”. We don’t have to tell children20 they should take from the story and what the moral is.

【文章大意】本文通過(guò)Stephen Guyer給他三個(gè)孩子講述他祖父艱苦創(chuàng)業(yè)的故事而引起孩子的共鳴，這樣有助于他們渡過(guò)難關(guān)，也可以緩解他們的精神壓力，消除生氣和焦慮。
1.B 他給他們講述了他爺爺----一個(gè)銀行家，在20世紀(jì)30年代失去了一切，但沒(méi)有忘記他最重視的東西。本句中的but后面的lose sight of已經(jīng)暗示應(yīng)該填入lost.故選項(xiàng)B正確。
2.A 本句的主句為he loaded his family into his car and…,由此可知設(shè)空處引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句，根據(jù)句義此處應(yīng)該用表示時(shí)間的關(guān)系副詞when.
3.C 根據(jù)上文 ________ (lost) all in 1930s,…可知此空格應(yīng)填入penniless(身無(wú)分文).
4.D 此句應(yīng)理解為爺爺用車(chē)把全家人帶到加拿大。選項(xiàng)A意為“去取”；選項(xiàng)B意為“允許”；選項(xiàng)C意為“期望”；選項(xiàng)D意為“帶走”。故選項(xiàng)D正確。
5.D 空后的句子為“there are more important things in life than money”.此句應(yīng)為設(shè)空處的同位語(yǔ)。改句不是爺爺?shù)囊环N“希望”、“諾言”或“建議”，而是爺爺?shù)囊环N“信念”。故答案為選項(xiàng)D.
6.A 根據(jù)首段最后一詞以及第二段整段內(nèi)容可知，選項(xiàng)A為最佳選項(xiàng)。
7.B 本句可改為Mr. Guyer downsized from a more expensive and comfortable one to…h(huán)ouse.改后可知Mr. Guyer原來(lái)所住的房子價(jià)格不菲，而且住起來(lái)非常舒適，而現(xiàn)在卻住在一個(gè)小房間里。故答案為B.
8.D 由于居住條件變得很差，所以Mr. Guyer擔(dān)心孩子們會(huì)感到不舒服。選項(xiàng)A意為“感到吃驚的”；選項(xiàng)B意為“感到煩惱的”；選項(xiàng)C意為“感到失望的”；選項(xiàng)D意為“擔(dān)心的”。故選項(xiàng)D正確。
9.C 使他感到吃驚的是，他們并沒(méi)有感到不舒服。相反，他們的反應(yīng)與他們的曾祖父一樣。instead表示與前面提到的事情相反。故選項(xiàng)C正確。
10.B 從上下文可知，孩子們并沒(méi)有因?yàn)榫幼l件變得糟糕而感到不舒服，他們關(guān)心的是這所房子里的一家人有多溫暖、他們的心有多么貼近。選項(xiàng)A意為“談?wù)摗�；選項(xiàng)B意為“關(guān)心”；選項(xiàng)C意為“寫(xiě)關(guān)于……的內(nèi)容”；選項(xiàng)D意為“聽(tīng)說(shuō)”。故B正確。
11.A 根據(jù)句義可知，孩子們關(guān)心的是全家人心靈之間有多么貼近。Much表示程度。故選A.
12.D  through hard times意為“度過(guò)艱難時(shí)期”。
13.C 講故事的專家說(shuō)，這種現(xiàn)象反映了人們對(duì)講故事越來(lái)越感興趣，這一點(diǎn)從不斷增加對(duì)各種事件以及節(jié)日故事的講述中得到印證。選項(xiàng)A意為“爭(zhēng)辯”；選項(xiàng)B意為“技巧；技能”；選項(xiàng)C意為“興趣”；選項(xiàng)D意為“焦慮；擔(dān)憂”。故選項(xiàng)C正確。

16.D 此句意為:講故事的訣竅使用孩子能夠傾聽(tīng)故事的方式來(lái)講(故事)。Trick意為“訣竅”。故D正確。

19.A 根據(jù)上文可知，所講的故事應(yīng)該符合孩子們的“需要(needs)”,而不是“活動(dòng)(activities)”、“判斷(judgments)”或者“習(xí)慣(habits)”。故選A.
20.B 根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此空格為賓語(yǔ)從句的引導(dǎo)詞，而且從句中動(dòng)詞take缺少賓語(yǔ)，what既引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句又作賓語(yǔ)從句的賓語(yǔ)。故選B。

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2012-2013學(xué)年陜西西安市第一中學(xué)高二上學(xué)期期末考試英語(yǔ)試卷（帶解析） 題型：填空題

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從下框的A--F 選項(xiàng)中選出能概括每一段主題的最佳選項(xiàng)，選項(xiàng)中有一項(xiàng)為多余項(xiàng)。

A.  Children don’t mean to annoy their parents.
B.  Children can’t understand their parents.
C.  Generation gap exists between parents and kids.
D.  Communication can help you become independent.
E.  Parents should understand their children.
F.  Children want to prove parents are responsible.
【小題1】Parents complain that their teenage children don’t listen to them. They don’t like the way their kids are dressed. They can’t appreciate the music their children prefer. They don’t like the stars their children admire.  Of course, teenagers too are puzzled. They wonder why there is always difference between them and their parents. This is what we call generation gap.
【小題2】Some children have always complained that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problems and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships. Actually, this happens as a result of misunderstanding because loving the young is the nature of all the parents.
【小題3】Young people often get their parents annoyed with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in idols （偶像）and music, but that is not their desire. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or idols or clothes or hairstyles annoy their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They may think that they are leaders in style and taste.
【小題4】Sometimes you are satisfied if your parents don’t approve of what you do. You may think that they do so for your sake. They tend to bring their children under control just because they want to be responsible for their children. On the contrary, you’ll be sad if they let you do everything in your own way. That will make you think they don’t care about you.
【小題5】If you plan to control your life, you are supposed to communicate with others in a more effective way. You can charm others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.

A. Practice what you teach

E. Don’t put unreasonable expectations（不合理的期望） on your children

F. Don’t put unreasonable expectations on yourself either

Being A Good Father

61.____________

Research has found that children with emotionally available fathers do much better in school, relate better with teachers and generally have better peer relationships than children whose fathers are more emotionally distant. Children with fathers who are overly critical or dismissing of emotions are more likely to do poorly in school, fight more with friends and suffer poor health.

62. ___________

Children need to be taught right from wrong and will need to see it demonstrated by their father. Let them see you make decisions and explain to them why you came to that resolution. Tell them about life choices that you made in the past and why they did (or didn’t) work out. Teach them that it’s okay to make mistakes… everyone does; that it’s important to learn from your mistakes and try to avoid making the same mistakes over and over again.

63. ___________

Mutual respect is very important. Children tend to imitate the way their parents behave and how you treat your child’s mother will influence the way in which the child will view his or her own role when they themselves are married or in a relationship. Try to work as a partnership, be on the same page about how to discipline and reward your child and be consistent.

64. __________

Children can have lots of pressures, from siblings to kids at school to teachers to coaches. Talk to them about their goals in life and help them set achievable ones. Never bring them down by telling them that they are not good enough but always try to boost their self-esteem and be sure to offer praise where it is due. Encourage them to meet their full potential but avoid living vicariously through them by expecting them to achieve what you had achieved or hoped to have achieved.

65. __________

You are a very important part of you child’s development but many other people and things will influence their development and growth. Just as you can’t take credit for all of your child’s strengths you also shouldn’t shoulder the blame for their weaknesses.
