And you’d be wise not to expect it. All the research I’ve done has convinced me that it’s not going to h appen.As parents, we don’t consider our holiday gifts an “exchange relationship” since we know the time, money, and effort we put in to buy them. But kids have a different view. One mom told me that when she asked her 16-year-old son to thank her for buying him a cellphone, he said, “But tha t’s what moms should do, isn’t it?”From a teenager’s view, it’s a parent’s responsibility to take care of the family, and playing Santa is part of the job. According to Yarrow Dunham, Yale’s assistant professor of Psyc hology, “When teenagers code it that way, a gift is no longer something given freely and voluntarily —it’s just mom and dad’s living up to their obligation.”Kids can’t know how blessed they are unless they have a basis for comparison. We need to give our children the gift of a wider world view. Take them to a soup kitchen instead of to the mall. Become the secret Santa for a needy family. Show by example that gratitude isn’t about stuff —which ultimately can’t make any of us happy anyway. It’s about realizing how lucky you are.Set up a family ritual at bedtime where kids describe three things that made them grateful. When kids go off to college, you can text them a picture of something that inspires your appreciation each week. Whether it’s a friend, a s nowflake, or a sunset, the spirit of the photos will help you and them see the world differently.Teaching children to focus on the positive and appreciate the goodness in their lives is perhaps the greatest gift we can give them. And we can all learn together that the things that really matter aren’t on sale at a department store.4. Why don’t children express thanks for gifts ?A.

As far as the author is concerned, no gifts are greater than _______.A. helping kids see the world differentlyB. learning together things that matterC. teaching kids to think positivelyD. making kids realize they are luckyCOne time on the day before Christmas many years ago when I was a minimum wage millworker, I found myself with very little money to buy my small children a few simple toys. I knew that they would have to be cheap ones and I hoped my children would like them. I hated not having enough to give them more.I pulled into a store parking lot and counted my money again. It wasn’t much but maybe I could get something small with it. As I was getting out of the car I noticed the Salvation Army bell ringer at the entrance. I felt bad again because I didn’t feel I could spare anything to give him. I started walking towards the entrance when two cars pulled into empty parking spots. The first was a shiny new Cadillac and I felt jealous when I saw it. I thought,＂How nice would it be to have enough money to buy a car like that!＂ The second car, though, was an ancient sedan, more rusty than the one I was driving.A man hopped out of(跳出) the Cadillac and hurried into the store right past the bell ringer without a second glance. Out of the old sedan came a young mother with three small children. Her clothes looked as worn out as her car, yet she stopped in front of the bell ringer, smiled, opened her purse, and dropped a bill in his red kettle. I stood there for a minute in astonishment. ＂Maybe,＂I thought to myself,＂it’s better to be rich on the inside instead of the outside.＂ At that time a warmth touched me, my jealousy and hatred left me, and all the love and joy that is Christmas filled me. I fished a bill out of my own wallet, dropped it in the kettle, and wished the bell ringer a＂Merry Christmas!＂.8.

You don’t see the link? Let me explain. When I was younger, I didn’t like mushrooms. They had a horrible texture(质地) and no taste at all, and I used to pick them out of every dish in which my mum tried to hide them. But gradually, as I got older, my view changed. I started to enjoy mushroom-flavoured things like soups and sauces, and eventually I found I could eat mushrooms without grimacing(痛苦的表情). And now I even quite enjoy them! So my mum’s prediction that I would ＂grow into them＂ was proved quite correct.Similarly, I always thought of classical music as this boring genre(类型) that only boring grown-ups liked. Whenever my parents played it in the car, I would count down the minutes until we could change it to my preferred genre: pop. But while at university, I found that calming orchestral music was just the thing for library revision playlists — it had no lyrics to stop me concentrating on my study, and the pieces tended to be very long: perfect for long work sessions!Recently, my developing relationship with classical music reached a new level when I voluntarily chose to go to a ballet. Admittedly, it was the dancing that originally attracted me, but once there I thoroughly enjoyed the music too. It was The Nutcracker, and I was surprised by just how much of the music I recognised! The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, The Russian Dance, The Waltz of the Flowers— the y all sounded familiar. I didn’t know how I knew them and I just knew that I did! And I loved them. My parents would be proud.12. Why did the author first hate eating mushrooms?A. The author’s mother always cooked them.B. The mushrooms had terrible look and no taste.C. Some mushrooms had bad effects on health.D. Some mushrooms tasted terrible.13. How does the writer connect classical music with mushrooms?A. By comparison.B. By the order of time.C. By telling facts.D. By imagination.14. What did the author’s parents think of classical music?A. Uninterested.B. Favorite.C. Curious.D. Bored.15. What’s the best title of the passage?A. The Art and LifeB. The Change of HobbiesC. Classical Music and MushroomsD. Music or Mushrooms第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
