ABuilding a foundation for your child of family values may not be as easy as you think. Often we believe that our child will pick up on our values if they live in the same home. While they may pick up many of our values, parents need to remember they are not the only influence in their child’s life. These outside values often compete with family values for your child’s attention. If we do not make a conscious(有意的) effort to instill our values into our children, they may not get instilled at all.I wish I had learned that lesson a little earlier. I thought if I lived my values for my children they would pick them up and ma ke their own. Sometimes this happened and sometimes it didn’t. I often see twenty-something “kids” who have no faith in many of the values of their family in favor of the values of their friends. Children will often pick up the negative you show quicke r than the positive, so the positive things need extra focus to set them.Some of the influences your children face every day include their church, their school, their friends, any clubs or sporting groups they are part of and more. Kids spend many hours a day at school and with their friends. Sometimes in the business of life, we suppose our children will obtain that foundation we want for them.Instilling a foundation of family values to sustain(维持) your child requires more than living it in front of them. That is important, but building up your child with this important foundation must become intentional.That means we plan times to gather as a family. We plan activities together that show the values we want to pass on. We talk about our values; we live our values; we discuss the values of others and how they differ from ours; we constantly look for opportunities and make our own opportunities to share these values in word or deed with our children.Family values give our children a foundation to build upon. It helps them know they are loved and gives them a sense of belongings. Upon this sure foundation, they can spread their wings and grow to become parents who share these same values with their own children.21. The underlined word “instill our values into” in the 1st paragraph probably means “______”.A. get our ideas out ofB. impress our ideas onC. collect our ideas forD. force our ideas upon22. We can learn from the passage that children _______.A. sustain their family values easilyB. will hold their family values with ageC. often discuss family values of othersD. accept negative values more quickly23. The passage mainly tells us about _______.A. the importance and the way to pick up family valuesB. a lesson the writer learned in educating his(her) kidsC. the influences the children face while growing upD. some negative and positive family valuesBThere are many people you are well advised to treat kindly: Your child’s teacher, yourhusband or wife, your boss and so on.Until now, that best-behavior-required list has not included your Uber driver, or for that matter, taxi drivers. Old thinking: Hey, they’re here to serve me. I don’t have to make a special effort to be nice to them.Dangerously wrong.A recent New York Times story told the instructive tale of a Uber passenger, Hussein Kanji, who says he’s really not sure how he made his driver angry. All he knows is that his driver-generated rating went way down and the wait for a Uber car became hours instead of minutes.Be careful, Uberians: If you’re feeling angry when you slid e into the back seat and you give your driver the silent treatment, your reputation may get damaged in the driver-generated ratings. If you’re among the people one Uber driver described as “generally negative”, watch out.U ber isn’t the only front on this battlefield. The ability to rate someone’s service is one of the successes of the Internet. It helps everyone weed out people with bad attitudes and worse habits.These ratings should cut both ways. A while back, the auction site(拍卖网站) eBay made many of its sellers angry when it started preven ting them from giving negative ratings to buyers. Until then, sellers and buyers had threatened each other with negative reviews. Too many negative reviews could get you thrown off.Then eBay shifted the balance of power to buyers. Sellers can still write a bad comment, but the overall rating cannot be anything but positive. Thus eBay has become a place where all is for the best. Think positive!We know that being nice to people all day can be exhausting. We’ve also seen people who shout at those who don’t measure up to their expectations for service.Uber is reportedly about to spread worldwide. It is a welcome competitor because it fits the needs of customers in a new way. We know Uber is a two-way street. But drivers who get too picky may end up with no passengers.Everyone, behave!24. In general, people think of Uber drivers as people who ________.A. they can take advantage ofB. they don’t have to be nice toC. are required to be on their best behaviorD. need better treatment from customers25. The underlined phrase “weed out” (Para. 6) can best be replaced by ________.A. hateB. get rid ofC. valueD. win back26. The author has written this article to ________.A. show that when using services like Uber, your behavior directly affects the serviceyou getB. prove that giving and receiving bad ratings can influence your lifeC. suggest that tools like Uber and eBay can reflect what kind of person you areD. stress that both customers and service providers should be generally respectful andpositiveCThe Lion King was one of Disney’s most successful movies. The movie was so well-loved by audience everywhere, that Disney executive Michael Eisner, began thinking it would make a successful stage play as well. When he told co-worker Thomas Schumacher to start planning, Schumacher was stunned. He felt the project was impossible. But Eisner insisted. He said that all they needed was a “brilliant idea”.After many months, Schumacher found his brilliant idea. “The answer,” he recalls, “was, in fact, quite simple—Julie,Taymor,” a woman who has been creating magical theatrer for many years.Taymor accepted the challenge, putting all her years of theatrical experience into creating a new concept for the Lion King. When she began to address the question of how to bring the animal characters to life, she knew she did not want to hide the actors inside big animal suits. She wanted the audience to see the actors’ faces and bodies, which would represent the animal’s human qualities. So she designed costumes that revealed the actor within.Not every good idea works out, so even the most creative person must be willing to let go of an idea and look for a better one. For example, the mask for Mufasa, the lion king,went through many changes. At one point, Taymor’s co-designer, Michael Curry, created a large mask that the actor would lift on and off. But it looked awkward, so Curry went back to the drawing board and came up with a better idea.Creative ideas are not always complex. Sometimes, the simplest idea is the most powerful. Taymor calls these simple, but powful ideas “true theatre”. For example, ribbons can show someone’s tears, and blue silk can show water.Many people helped make The Lion King a success. It was a team effort in every sense of the word, yet each person added his or her personal touch to make the production memorable.The creative work of the entire team pays off every night. People are thrilled by this imaginative journey to Africa. After the glorious opening, the amazing sights continue. The audience sees frightening hyenas, an elephant graveyard, an eye-popping stampede---everythi ng, in fact, that was in the moive, but different enough to be a whole new event. By the end of the show, many in the audience find it hard to remember that the Lion King was ever a movie.27. Michael Eisner thought that the movie The Lion King could become a successful stageplay because _________.A. he has a brilliant ideaB. all his co-workers are creativeC. the movie was great hitD. it was one of Disney’s movies28. To bring the animal characters to life, Julie Taymor managed to ________.A. provide animal suits to create real stage effectsB. motivate audience to approach characters on stageC. design costumes to hide the actors insideD. display human qualities of the animal characters29. When designing the mask for Mufasa, the lion king, Michael Curry _______.A. put every good idea into practiceB. made a lot of changes to seek a better designC. found his create ideas failing all the timeD. had created a mask which proved a success30. According to the passage, the stage play proved to be very successful due to the followingfactors EXPECT_______.A. the design of complex plotB. the cooperation of the entire teamC. the choices of better ideasD. the power of simple ideas第二节（共5个小题；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。
