A New Addition to the Family

For the initial ten years of his life, Victor was the prince of the household. As he was an only child, his parents petted him and showered all their love and attention on him. Whatever toys his parents bought, they were always meant for him. Whatever food was in the refrigerator, there was no one to compete with him to polish it off first. Victor could leave his toys or books around the house with complete ease of mind, knowing that there was no one who would get their hands on his belongings and cause any damage.

However, all that was to change overnight when Victor’s parents brought back his new baby sister, Lina, from the hospital. With her rosy cheeks, wide open eyes and angelic smile, Lina caught the hearts of her parents, grandparents and relatives. Everyone focused their attention on the cute bunch of joy. Whenever she cried, her mother or father would rush to her bed. She simply cried because she wanted to be carried. There was little time left for Victor.

Now that Victor’s mother had his baby sister to take care of, she expected Victor himself to do most of the chores he can do. Victor was asked to clean his own room, iron his own school uniform and clean his own shoes. Before Lina’s arrival, he had never lifted a finger to help out with these tasks. The whole family also went out less because it was unhealthy to expose Lina to the bacteria(细菌) being in the outside world too often.

Victor felt neglected by his parents. He felt that they loved Lina more than him. As a result, he tried to attract his parents’ attention by becoming resistant. One evening, Victor’s parents were called up by his teacher because Victor had got into a fight at school. His teacher had noticed Victor’s behaviour and work attitude changing downwards in the past two months. Before that, he had been a model student.

3 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

My dad doesn’t write me letters. And he doesn’t always remember my birthday or wedding anniversary -- or even how old I am sometimes.

But I only need to look around me to be reminded of his love. He restored a 100-year-old rocking chair after I told him how much I wanted one. When I moved into my first apartment, he spent his weekends in a small space replacing pipes. And when I lost a blue stone from a favorite necklace, he worked his magic with common stuff

The four greatest words I know are “Dad will build it”.

I could never forget when I was seven, one day we walked by a toy store window. There in the corner was the most unusual doll house had ever seen. It was shaped like an upturned log. Little oval windows were cut into it decorated with white curtains and framed by tiny balconies.

“Oh, Daddy,” I said, “isn’t it beautiful? Do you think Santa Clause will bring it to me?”

Dad looked at the $100 price tag -- too high a figure in those days. “I think even Santa couldn't afford this house,” he joked, hiking up his belt, as he often does when he’s nervous. “Maybe one day, sweetheart, ”Dad probably hoped I’d forget about the doll house, but I kept talking about it.

On Christmas morning, I awoke early and raced downstairs. In the faint light, I made out some wrapped boxes under the tree-- but none large enough to contain my doll house.

Dad could see my disappointment.

Four months later, a beautiful doll house was in front of me.

4 . I had not realized how the pandemic(疫情）had influenced my children until I took them recently into a store in the city center several hours from our home. It was a food market that carries specialties(地方特产）from all around the world.

For me, it was a quick and necessary stop to get something for dinner. But for my children, who had hardly left our small Canadian town for 14 months, it was an adventure into a world they'd completely forgotten about. They'd seldom even been to the store because it was a task my husband or I usually did alone.

While I loved seeing their excitement, it also filled me with sadness. Even though our experience of the pandemic has been much easier than that of families living in populated cities, I hadn't known just how small their world had become until that moment.

Because they're so young, they don't have the same memories(记忆）of the busy marketplaces and restaurants that I hold in my heart, thanks to the years I spent living in cities and visiting often after moving away. I remember those ordinary experiences with nostalgia(怀旧）but know for sure that they will come back one day.

Moved by the children's excitement, I realized the best I could do was bring the world to them. I bought the food they wanted in the store. At that moment, I felt a new understanding of food, for its ability to take us to different places, to start discussions with children about where it comes from and how it' s prepared, and to create powerful family memories. We cannot travel right now, but we can cook and eat together, and that is the next best thing.

1. What did the family do recently?

A．They opened a store in a town.

B．They shopped in a food market.

C．They traveled to a Canadian town.

2. Why did the author feel sad?

A．Her family's backyard was too small.

B．Her children enjoyed fewer activities.

C．She failed to buy what her children wanted.

D．Her family lived too far from the city center.

3. How did the children feel about their trip?

4. What did the author do for her children in the end?

A．She made a quick meal.

B．She planned a world tour.

C．She chose a traditional way of cooking.

D．She opened conversations about foreign food.

5 . My parents have very different parenting styles. Dad brings out the best in me. He is calm(镇静的）and reasonable and treats me like an adult. Mum, like so many parents of my friends, makes me want to rebel(反抗）．    1    

My friends and I think that our parents care too much about us. Take me for example.     2    It was a journey I'd taken with Mum before. Dad was fine with the idea of me going alone, but it took weeks of arguments(争吵）before Mum agreed. In her eyes, I'm not old enough to go on the trip alone. But I' m sixteen years old!

Parents need to learn to trust us. There is no point in becoming angry, which just makes things worse. A few months ago, Mum went crazy when I told her I'd been receiving e-mails from a stranger I'd met online. Since then she hasn't allowed me to use the Internet.     3     They use monitoring software(监控软件）to secretly   watch what their teenagers are looking at online.

I understand them, but they overreact(反应过激）.     4     I think what they should do is keep calm and help us find a way to deal with it.

We love the idea of being really close to our parents.     5     But part of being a teenager is feeling free to take steps down new paths and learning from our own mistakes. Our parents have to let us get on with what is just a natural stage of life.

A．She speaks to me as though I'm still a child.

B．Some teenagers refuse to open up to their parents.

C．But she isn't so bad as many of my friends' parents.

D．We also know deep down that our parents care about us most.

E．Recently, I wanted to take a train to Portsmouth to see a friend.

F．Mum, on the other hand, kept suggesting other things I could do

G．What they do makes us not want to talk about our personal things with them.
