【題目】Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.

My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome successful man devoted to his work and family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.

On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting be around? What had held him back before?

The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.

C. He did not love his children.

D. He was too proud of himself.

A. tired B. sorry C. nervous D. safe

Born in September, 1987, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies’ two daughters.

The family has the responsibility for keeping young children safe, providing love and helping all their children to learn to get along with people. The most important beginning is the development of trust. The infant (嬰兒的) needs to know that there is someone who cares and provides for his or her needs. 【1】

2 Each person also has the responsibility to show love and affection to other people in the family. The way you show love can be different for different people. What one child feels is loving might be felt as disturbing by a different child. Each person’s needs should be respected. It is your responsibility to be an understanding person.

There are different ways to show young children affection and love. It is easy to tell when it is direct, a hug or kiss, or the words“I love you.” 3 Young children respond better to demonstrating love. Use words to describe love with action. In this way the feelings are clear and not misunderstood.

Showing love also means guiding the actions of young children. As young children grow more independent, the people responsible need to understand these growing skills. But as important as it is to allow children the freedom to explore and be themselves, it is important to set limits for children. 4

5 Respect is the most important part of family relationships and harmony. Maintain control of yourself and your feelings.

A. A hug is a physical need.

B. Respect the child’s self-esteem.

C. Remember how important your child is to you.

D. Many families don’t stop to think about their values.

E. Another way a person might show love is through actions.

F. Each person in the family has a need for love and affection.

G. Clearly express to your child what is acceptable behavior in all sorts of daily situations.
