3 . Even if you think that your parents are mean-spirited(小气的) at times, loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life. You love them for the fact that they create you, raise you, and are in part, a source of who you are.     1    

Tell them you love them every morning. A gentle “good morning” and “I love you” will warm the coldest heart. Remember that they brought you into this world.

Respect them more. It is inevitable that we may disagree with our parents or be dissatisfied with them sometimes. It’s OK to get angry but angry actions don’t help you or your parents. Act calmly, cool off, write down your feelings, or talk to a friend.     2    

        Obey their requests. It will make you have a better attitude and earn you more respect from them. It may seem like you are going through hell when you don’t get what you want or you are not recognized. However, you had better remember they shelter you from rain and snow. Understand that parents are human beings and make mistakes.     3     Since you can forgive your friends, why not forgive your parents?

    4     Do things with your parents like watching TV or going somewhere with them. Anyway, spend as much time with them as you can. Listen to their old stories and learn from them. You will find they are your teachers in one way or another.

Some people simply may not be able to love their parents.     5     Seek help if you are being abused(虐待) in any way. Parents do not have a right to harm you.

A．Forgiveness is the key.

B．Keep them company.

C．Here are some ways to love your parents.

D．Parents will in turn express their love for you.

E．After these, share your feelings with your parents.

F．Please remember parents are as important as friends.

G．There can be realistic reasons for that, for example family violence.

4 . 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。

It was Christmastime 1974. I was ten years old, but I was not looking forward to Christmas. The previous spring my mother had moved our family from rural Alabama to sunny Southern California. My little brother Todd, and I were leaving behind all of our extended family. This would be my first Christmas away from Alabama.

I was a fat, awkward child with a high-pitched voice and a heavy southern accent. My first day at my new school, I went to the front of my fourth grade class to introduce myself. All I said was my name and where I was from. The class burst into laughter with jeers of “He talks funny”. It took the teacher two minutes to restore order.

I was so disappointed that I went to a gas station afterschool and used the phone booth (亭子) there to place a call to my grandmother. I was going to ask her whether I could return to Alabama and live with her and whether she would send me the money for a bus ticket home. But the line was busy, and despite several attempts, I didn’t get through.

My Granny was everything good about Christmas. Her language of love was food. She would spend weeks cooking for Christmas Eve when all of her children and grandchildren would gather at her house. Every favorite dish dessert and cakes was made. Her table and sideboard groaned (发吱嘎声) under the weight of the food. My cousins, my brother and I would burst through her backdoor, our arrival announced by the rhyme of five silver bells, which hung on the door. Her house was tiny but to us children, it was glorious.

She sewed new night dresses for all of her grandchildren. She searched catalogs, newspaper advertisements, and stores all over town to get us exactly the toys we had requested. She was my comfort. She was magical. I missed her desperately.

Fortunately, there was only one week left before the Christmas break. I was longing for my familiar southern Christmas.

The next morning, a large enough package from Granny was delivered to our new house.

8 . When I was growing up, Mother’s Day was as important as Christmas. The energy around the house was always positive (积极的), mostly thanks to my father who made sure that his kids appreciated their mother. We would clean the house, and Mum got breakfast in bed in the morning and didn’t have to lift a finger all day. And in the evening, we went to a restaurant for a traditional Mother’s Day dinner.

What I learned from my father over the years, was that no matter what, he always put my mother before himself. He absolutely loved her and never let her forget that. And from my parents, I learned a thing or two about how to love.

I maintain (保持) my father’s Mother’s Day tradition with my wife. Growing up, I learned that showing affection to the woman you love or who gave birth to you is an important part of life. You see, it goes both ways, and the love you have for your mother comes back to you again and again.

Believing that and feeling it when you can may keep you from being lonely, even if your mum isn’t close by or has passed away. There are a number of us who no longer have a mother in our lives, and truth be told, there are often times when I wish my mum were still here to comfort me. So instead, I remember the times she did just that. It makes me smile, and somehow, those memories of a more simple and loving life give me the comfort I’m looking for.

My wife’s mother is still around, however, and it’s great to have that “mother energy” in my life still. Having this relationship with my mother-in-law is nice because it gives me someone to be there for on Mother’s Day, and any other day of the year.

If you are mum-less, you too should find a deserving woman in your life and celebrate Mother’s Day with her. If you don’t know anyone, there are plenty of lonely mums in rest homes who would enjoy your company for a couple of hours. The visit will make both of your days, and perhaps your lives, a little bit better.

1. What did the author learn from his father?

A．It’s necessary to express love to those we love.

B．We should always put others before ourselves.

C．It’s important to have an interesting family tradition.

D．Mothe’s Day is just as important as Christmas.

2. Why does the author value the idea of showing love for one’s mother?

A．It can set a good example for kids to follow.

B．It is what mothers expect their children to do.

C．It can warm your mother’s heart as well as yours.

D．It’s important to follow your father’s rules.

3. According to the passage, which is TRUE?

A．After mother’s death, the author often felt lonely.

B．The relationship between the author and his mother-in-law is not good.

C．The author keeps Mother’s Day tradition now.

4. What is the author’s advice to someone whose mum has passed away?

A．Give all your attention to your mother-in-law.

B．Try to get used to life without a mum.

C．Turn to other family members for love.

D．Visit lonely mums in rest homes on Mother’s Day.

9 . Tears clouded my eyes as I stood in our washing room, holding Brett’s jeans and shirt full of burn holes.

Tired and defeated, I_______ to the floor. The clothes were just one more thing Brett had _______ . He often got almost everything in the house out of order. Many windows in our house needed repair due to his breaking _______ to steal money when he chose to live on the street.

When Brett was nearly 18, he landed again in Juvenile Hall (少管所). After that, my husband and I had to send Brett to a boarding school for helping troublesome teens.

At the graduation ceremony, each graduate held a white rose to give to the person who had _______ the most to him or her.

Brett spoke _______ to his parents and then spoke to me, “You did so much. You were always there, no matter what. My mom and dad, I was their kid. But you, ________ troubled enough by me, always ________ me such love. And I want you to know I love you for it.”

________, I stood as Brett placed the white rose in my hand and hugged me tightly.

At that moment, tears________ in my eyes again, this time not for disappointment but for________. Although I had struggled with silent ________toward my stepson, Brett had seen only my actions.
