AWhen you walk along a street in a big city in the United States , you may see clocks in most stores. Radio announcers give t he correct time during the day.

In some countries in South America, ev en the radio programs may not begin right on time, nor do the radio announcers think it important to announce the right time. Many people regard a clock as a machine. It seems to them t hat a person who does everything on time is controlled by a m achine.

Most Americans own watches.BFitzgerald, a very wealthy English man, had only one child, a son, who naturally was the apple of his eye. His wife died whe n the child was in his early teens. So Fitzgerald devoted hims elf to fathering the kid. Unluckily the son died in his late teens. Meanwhile, Fitzgerald's wealth was increasing all the time. He spent a lot on art works of the masters. Later Fitzgerald hims elf became seriously ill. Before his death, he had carefully pre pared his will as to how his wealth would be settled——to sell his entire collection at an auction(拍卖）.Because of the large quantity and high quality of his collection , a huge crowd of possible buyers gathered for the auction. M any of them were museum directors and private collectors ea ger to bid（出价）. Before the auction, the art works were shown, among w hich was a painting of Fitzgerald's son by an unknown artist. Because of its poor quality, it received little attention.When it was time for the auction, the auctioneer gaveled（敲槌）the crowd to attention. First the lawyer read from Fitzgerald's will that the first art work to be auctioned was the painting of h is son.The poor-quality painting didn't receive any bidders except one——the old servant who had attended to the son and loved him, a nd who for emotional reasons offered the only bid.As soon as the servant bought the painting for less than one English pound, the auctioneer stopped the bidding and asked the lawyer to read again from the will. The crowd became qui et, and the lawyer read from the will: “Whoever buys the painti ng of my son gets all my collection.” Then the auction was ov er.6.

At the result of the auction, the old man would feel more t han ______________.A. sadB. surprisedC. interestedD. expectedCWe parents often take material things for love. “I give him eve rything,” a disappointed mother complains. “New shoes, video -games, and his own TV. You’d think he’d at least show me re spect!”Of course, love and presents are related. Most parents work h ard to earn money. They want their children to have more tha n they did and have better lives. The problem is, most childre n don’t connect the things parents buy with the labor that pays for them. Children have more, but our culture——and television in particular——teaches them that more is never enough. Having more does n ot mean that a child feels loved.From a parent’s point of view, children are not thankful. But thi s has to do with their natural growth. Young children see their parents as all-mighty(万能的). If parents fail to provide what they want, it must be a matt er of choice. It’s normal for children, even school-age ones, not to be able to take another person’s point of vie w. For example, they may dislike their parents for working lon g hours, and not realize that the parent would also rather hav e more time at home.In addition to giving presents, we have to find other ways to e xpress love and create memories. Reading or telling stories to gether, making music and playing games are all ways for fami lies to spend time without spending money. Traditions like rea ding favorite poems and even snowball fights all serve the pur pose（达到目的）. Most importantly, as parents, we have to learn to hold b ack some energy from our tiring jobs. When we’re present for our children, we ourselves become the presents we want to gi ve.11. The underlined word “them”( in Paragraph 2) refers to____ __________.A. the things parents buyB. parentsC. childrenD. bett er lives12. According to the passage, children______.A. want fewer presentsB. want presents rather than loveC. are taught to ask for moreD. can live better without their parents.13. We can judge from the passage that there is _________.A. a heavy job load for some parentsB. a lack of money in some familiesC. misunderstanding between parents and childrenD. love between parents and children14. The last paragraph of the passage means that______.A. our children are good presents to usB. we should spend more time with our childrenC. we ourselves need some presentsD. we should give more presents to our children15. The best title for the passage is .A. Family LifeB. Children’s EducationC. Love and PresentsD. Children and Parents第二节：任务型阅读（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。

AA Koala Isn’t a BearKoalas remind people of teddy bears. They have thick fur and large ears. Their broad, flat nose makes them look cute, similar to teddy bears. In fact, koalas aren’t cute. They have sharp teeth and very sharp claws! Koalas are marsupials. This meansthe mother carries her baby in a pocket while it develops, similar to a kangaroo. The baby koala lives in its mother’s pocket for the first six m onths of its life.The name “koala” comes from a native Australian word that means“no drink”. The koalas get almost all their water from the eucalyptus (桉树) leaves they eat. That’s where they get their food too. Koalas eat only eucalyptus leaves, and only the leaves of certain eucalyptus trees. The eucalyptus trees are where the koalas live. It’s also where they sleep. Koalas sleep about nineteen hours a day!Why do they sleep so much? Some people think it’s because they’re lazy. But koalas aren’t lazy. They sleep so much because there isn’t much nutrition in eucalyptus leaves. Koalas store hardly any fat, so they must save their energy. One way to do this is to move slowly and sleep a lot.After a day of sleeping, they like to move around and eat just after sunset. They live alone most of the time. Koalas are very protective of their trees. If a koala sees another koala eating in its favorite tree, it might tell the other koala to leave by “barking” at it. Koalas do “talk” to each other. Besides barks, the males make a deep grunting sound. The mothers and babies talk in soft clicking sounds. If they get scared, they may scream like a baby.21. How are koalas and kangaroos alike?A. They both have thick fur.B. They both have sharp teeth.C. They both eat eucalyptus leaves.D. They both carry their young in a pocket.22. The word “koala”comes from a word that means .A. large earsB. no drinkC. moving slowlyD. barking loudly23. Why do koalas sleep a lot?A. Their babies need to get much rest.B. They get tired from playing so much.C. Their food does not give them much energy.D. They don’t like to be awake when it is warm.24.
