C

Dear David，

I’m glad you would like to share your feelings with me．It’s hardly surprising that your feelings of not being “grown up” have come on strongly at this point in your life，just before you’re about to become a father．You are asking：will I make a good father？How will I cope?

Should I have brought another little person into the world? Can l provide for it? Help! I think nearly every sensitive about-to-be-parent must have these occasional feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy(不適)before the birth and it would be most unusual if you didn't share them． It's difficult，honestly，to feel grown-up unless you have something less grown-up to relate to．

The boss with a hen-pecking wife may feel like a seven-year-old when he’s at home．But as he walks through the office door，and knows he’s going to be surrounded by staff looking to him for Advice，he grows into a fully mature man．And I think it’s a mistake to imagine that we all feel，as we age，a kind of progression of states，from the baby to the adult．Most people feel，on Tuesday， about three years old，and on a Wednesday，around 80．

There's a common remark that “all men are little boys”，but it's not true．It's more true that men often behave like little boys．But nearly all people，at some moments in their lives，are capable of groat maturity．

Once your baby arrives，you’ll soon feel less childlike，or rather，less often．When your child tries to put its fingers into the electric plug，the adult in you will rise up to prevent it．You’ll see

you have very little in common with a needy child，particularly if it's looking to you for comfort and support．

Comfort yourself，David，with two truths．One is that your friends laugh when they talk about this subject because they，like you，feel frightened．And remember that people who haven't grown

up don’t go around talking about the fact that they don’t feel grown-up．

Hope my advice will be helpful and good luck to you and your little one．

Yours sincerely，

Miss Advice

A

Since I started working part-time at a grocery store, I have learned that a customer is more than someone who buys things. To me, a customer is a person whose memory fails entirely once he or she starts to push a shopping cart. One of the first things customers forget is how to count. There is no other way to explain how so many people get in their express line, which is clearly marked 15 items(件) or less, with 20, 25 or even a cart load of items.

Customers also forget why they came to the store in the first place. Just as I finish ringing up an order, a customer will say, “Oops, I forgot to pick up a fresh loaf of bread. I hope you don’t mind waiting, while I go to get it.”Five minutes later, he’s back with the bread, a bottle of milk, and three rolls of paper towels. What is strange is that customers also seem to forget that they have to pay for their groceries. Instead of writing a check or looking for a credit card while I am ringing up the groceries, a customer will wait until I announce the total. Then, in surprise, she says, “ Oh no, what did I do with my check book?” After 5 minutes of digging through her purse, she borrows my pen because she has forgotten hers. But I have to tolerate customers because they pay my salary, and that’s something I can’t afford to forget.

1.What does the author say about his customers?

A .They cannot count numbers.

B. They sometimes jump the queue.

C. They don’t know how to express themselves.

D. They behave as if their memories had totally failed.

2.According to the text, who are supposed to be in the express line?

A .Customers with nothing purchased.

B. Customers with not more than 15 items.

C. Customers with items between 16 and 25

D. customers with 25 or even a cart load of items.

3.When customers arrive at the check-out counter, they_______

A. find their pens lost

B. go back and get more items

C. cannot wait to pay for their groceries.

D. prefer paying by check to paying with a credit card.

4.We can infer from the text that ________

A. business in the grocery store runs well

B. the author finds his present job full of fun

C. the author’s part-time job calls for patience

D. customers go to grocery stores without planning.

The moral view of violence, labeling it as bad and wrong, has done little to end it. The alternative view is to release our judgments and see violence for what it is: a form of suffering. This is a difficult change for many people. Not only are they in the habit of making knee-jerk(下意識(shí)的) judgments, but violent people cause harm, and therefore their suffering seems to deserve less sympathy.

You hurt me, so why should I have sympathy for you? It should be the other way around. Does it take a saint(圣人) to make the change from strong anger to sympathy?

Turning points arrive when we can make a choice not to suffer in silence. We then strike a soul bargain that is fearful but necessary. The bargain is that redemption(解救) is possible through love. The absence of love is absolutely the problem, and love is absolutely the solution. We don’t have to reach into another area to locate the magic power of love that is available to us here and now.

The problem is that love comes through a fallible human being. The rule is constant work on the spiritual path to clear away the obstacles that prevent love from coming through us. The work is much more like working on blocked pipe system than it is like copying a saint.

Hope is the emotion that keeps this dogged work even when results seem to be slow or impossible. Can I love the terrorist who harms my country? Can I love the criminal who wants to harm me? At the level of the soul I already do, and the spiritual path is a means to arrive at that level.

No one is required to leap into sudden sympathy for terrorists, or even to announce publicly that our enemies deserve love. But in our souls each of us harbors the knowledge that only love is going to bring violence to an end. No matter how you and I live our outward lives, our spiritual lives must remain devoted to that vision.

1.Which one is NOT true for moral view of violence?

A. It thinks violence is bad and wrong.

B. It plays an important role in ending violence.

C. It is a knee-jerk judgment of people.

D. It thinks violent people deserve less sympathy.

2.Why should violent people deserve sympathy?

A. Because we should perform like a saint.

B. Because love is absolutely the solution.

C. Because our spiritual lives must remain devoted to that vision.

D. Because they are first in suffering then choose violence, so they need love.

3.What's the meaning "The problem is that love comes through a fallible human being"?

A. Human being is full of love.

B. It is difficult and long way.

C. Human being is easy to make friends.

D. It's a problem to get love from an imperfect huan being.

4.Which would be the best title for the passage?

A. Violence Is Harmful to Us

B. Love Can End Violence

C. Change Our View of Violence

D. Our Soul Needs Purifying
