Having a son as a woman who has only really been around women can be a strange experience. I sometimes tell my husband that raising our 3-year-old boy     someone dropped me off on another planet where I didn’t know the  _   and had no map.
My son makes me laugh like no other, but his desires and interests sometimes do feel as  _   to me as another galaxy(銀河系). He has taught me so much about the bigger man in my life (my husband) and even more about  _   in general.
When I get mad at my husband now, I look at our son and  _   . He was once as sweet and precious as my son, even if he is so  _   now.
My mother-in-law’s attitude used to be confusing to me, but now I kind of  _   it. I love my son violently. If some woman ever  _   him, she’d be punished for that.
 _   my daughter can’t find something, she searches. But my son is  _   calling, “Mommy! Daddy! Where is my toy?” It’s so much like my husband. He will also spend 0.1 seconds  _   before calling out to me and  _   where the butter, cheese, or coat is. My son has taught me it’s a male thing. _   , that doesn’t mean I won’t break of it. I  _   will. Isn’t that what all moms say?
My husband showers every day on most  _   days. But on the weekends or on vacation? Forget it. Now I understand that. My son hates bath time and  _   the whole time. I have to fight with him and reward him to get  _   .
Nothing is sweeter for a mom than her baby boy. My son and daughter are equally _   to me, but in a different way. He tells me he loves me and how  _   I am. I wish I could bottle that sweetness and  _   it for the teen years.

Iceland is a popular European tourist destination. Before you go there, it is good to learn some of the basic Iceland customs first.
Just like other countries in Europe, it is one of the customs in Iceland to shake hands and say “Hello”. Kissing each other’s cheeks is acceptable along with wishing each other a happy day.
Another custom is to take off your shoes in the hallway(走廊) when you enter someone’s home. Also, don’t be surprised if someone invites you to their house, since Icelanders love to have guests. Just make sure you take flowers or a similar token of thanks to give them.
If you have been invited to eat, keep in mind that you don’t need to express thanks before meals like the French or the Japanese. Rather, eat heartily and then thank your host afterwards by shaking his hand.
Keep in mind that believing in mysterious beings is part of the tradition in Iceland. Indeed, most of the unique and sometimes strange rock formations in Iceland are due to elves(小精靈), according to the people of Iceland.
Are you planning to spend Christmas in Iceland? If so, make sure you practice saying “Gleileg jol got tog fars!” first, which is the local Christmas greeting. It is part of the tradition in Iceland to have long Christmas holidays—26 days—longer than in any other European country. There are 13 Santa Clauses in Iceland, too!
There may not be a law requiring you to follow the customs, but there is no harm in doing so. Following them, you might be rewarded with a rich cultural experience and a more meaningful trip.
小題1: When you are invited to someone’s home in Iceland, you'd better do all of the following EXCEPT ______.
A.eating heartily and enjoying your time there
B.expressing your thanks to the host before you eat
C.taking some flowers or something else to the host
D.taking off shoes in the hallway before you enter the home
小題2:Which of the following is one of the differences in customs between Iceland and France?
A.Shaking hands when greeting.
B.A 26-day-long Christmas holiday.
C.Saying hello when meeting each other.
D.Kissing each other’s cheeks when greeting.
小題3:The text is mainly about ______.
A.what some of the customs in Iceland are like
B.why some of the customs in Iceland are special
C.how some of the customs in Iceland were formed
D.what some of the customs are like in Europe
小題4: In the text, the author aims to tell us that ______.
A.happiness is a form of courage
B.when in Rome, do as the Romans do
C.practice is the only path to knowledge
D.everyone has good and bad times in life

A couple had a son eleven years after they married. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye. When the boy was around four years old, one day the father was very tired after work so he asked his wife to pick up their son. The mother, who was very busy in the kitchen, totally forgot about it.
Later the boy lost his way on the street. When the son was found missing, the mother hurried to look for him, but she didn’t find him. The mother felt very sad and didn’t know how to face her husband.
When the father went to the police station after hearing that the son was missing, he looked at his wife and said just four words. What do you think the four words were? The husband just said "I love you, darling."
The son was missing. If she had picked him up earlier, this would not have happened. There is no point in blaming (責(zé)備) anyone. His wife had also lost her only child. What his wife needed at that moment was comfort and understanding from her husband. That is what the husband gave his wife. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, the couple finally found their lost son. The family’s relationship became stronger over that time.
Sometimes we spend lots of time asking who is to blame. We miss many chances to give each other support and let each other feel the warmth of human relationships. Get rid of all your unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find the world is much more wonderful.
小題1:What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “the apple of their eye”
A.A person who always has a sweet smile in their opinion.
B.A person who is as pretty as an apple in their opinion.
C.A person who is loved more than anyone else in their opinion.
D.A person who looks like an apple in their opinion.
小題2:Why didn’t the father pick the boy up himself?
A.He was very lazy.
B.He thought the mother had picked him up.
C.He forgot to pick him up.
D.He was too tired to do it.
小題3:What can we learn from this passage?
A.Be careful in everything you do.
B.Love is the most important thing.
C.Learn to forgive others.
D.Everyone can make mistakes.
小題4:What do you think of the husband?
A.Warm-hearted.B.Careful.C.Hard-working.D.Broad-minded.

科目:高中英語 來源:不詳 題型:閱讀理解

One day when I was driving on the freeway, I noticed all the way there were large dividing walls, which had been built between it and the road running parallel to it, for noise reduction (減少) and a sense of separation. The purpose was to create a sense of privacy (隱私) for people on the other side.
This got me thinking: How often do we put up mental barriers that keep us distant from others? Lifting the artificial barriers that keep us apart can offer opportunities to express our goodwill and create better relationships. If we can do like this, maybe our life will be a little different.
There is a little post office in a nearby town, and since it is closer to me than the post office in my own town, I go there. One day, with many people jammed into the little building, a man came hurrying in to mail a letter, and the girl at the counter saw he had too little postage on it. She told him he needed 2 more cents. Obviously he was a little at a loss. He had hurried over from his office, and didn’t have any money on him or time to stand in line. He was going to run back to get the needed money and wait in line again, but he hurried to get the letter mailed in the first place.
As we were watching him, one woman volunteered a two-cent stamp, and the whole line became very quiet. It was a beautiful moment. The man hesitated for a little while and asked her if she was sure, and she assured him she was fine with giving him the stamp. He offered to go back to his office to get the two cents, and she told him not to bother.
It was a small thing, but it meant something to both of the people involved, and to the rest of us. We aren’t a yard that needs defining or a freeway that needs barriers. We are human beings who can contribute to each other’s wellbeing by taking time to pay attention and interact. After all, we are all parts of a whole living in society.
小題1:The purpose of the first paragraph is to __________.
A.summarize the main idea
B.give detailed information
C.tell readers the author’s opinion
D.introduce the topic
小題2:What happened after the man being told he needed two more cents?
A.The man went back to his office immediately.
B.The man turned to a lady for help.
C.A woman offered a stamp to the man.
