My friend Vernon Davies kept birds. One day he phoned and told me he was going away for a week. He asked me to feed 16 birds for him and said that he would leave the key 17 his front door in my mailbox.
18 (fortunate), I forgot all about the birds until the night before Vernon was going to return. What was worse, 19 was already dark when I arrived at his house. I soon found that the key Vernon gave me could not unlock either the front door 20 the back door. I was getting desperate. I kept thinking of 21 Vernon would say when he come back.

Just like with any relationship, building a positive relationship between parent and child is one that needs work and effort to make it strong and successful. Parenting is a tough job, and keeping close relationships and open communications helps to ensure(确保) parents and their children to stay connected through all ages of their upbringing.
Tell your child you love him every day-no matter his age. Even on trying days or after a parent-child disagreement, when you don’t exactly “like your child” at that moment, it is more important than ever to express your love. A simple “I love you” goes a long way towards developing and then strengthening(加强) a relationship.
For younger children, reading a favorite bedtime book or telling stories is a ritual that will be remembered most likely throughout their life. Older children should be looked after too. Once children start reading, have them read a page, a chapter, or a short book to you. Even most teenagers still enjoy the ritual of being told “Good night” in a special way by a parent-even if they don’t act like it!
The key is to really play with your children. Play with dolls, sing songs, or whatever is fun and interesting. It doesn’t matter what you play, just enjoy each other! Let kids see your lovely side. Older kids enjoy cards, chess, computer games, while younger ones will have fun playing about anything...as long as it involves you!
You’ve heard this before, and it is really important! Eating together sets the stage for talking and sharing. Turn the TV off, and don’t rush through a meal. When time allows, really talk and enjoy one another. It can become
a quality time most remembered by the young and the old alike.
You don’t have to like their mismatched shirt and shorts or love how a child has placed pictures in his room. However, it is important to respect those choices. Children reach out for independence(独立) at a young age, and parents can help to develop those decision-making skills by being supportive and even looking the other way on occasion.
( )26. The underlined word “ritual” in Paragraph 3 refers to something . A. that is very interesting for parents and their children B. that can be passed from one person to another C. that you do regularly and in the same way each time D. that matters much for a child’s growing process
( )27. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Expressing love every day between parents and children is necessary. B. Parents should tell stories to their younger children before they sleep. C. Proper dolls are very important if parents want to play with children. D. The meal time can be used for parents to have a talk with their children. ( )28. The last paragraph mainly tells us that . A. children must stick to their own ideas
B. parents should respect their children’s choices C. parents should play with their children D. it is important to communicate with each other
( )29. How many ways are mentioned in the passage to strengthen a family’s relationship?
A. Three. B. Four.
C. Five.
D. Six.
( )30. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. How to Keep a Positive Parent-child Relationship B. Saying “I Love You” Is Very Important in Family C. What and When to Play with Your Children D. Relations Between Parents and Their Children

Bullfighting attracts many tourists to Spain and Spanish-speaking countries. There it is an important element of culture and has a great tradition. Modern bullfighting goes back to the 1700s when the first bullrings were built in Spain.
A bullfight takes place in bullring. The bullfighter has special training and is often a national hero in his homeland. The bulls used for bullfighting are very powerful, wild animals that are bred(饲养) to attack. They weigh up to 500 kg or even more. Today many animal activists are against bullfighting because bulls are treated in a cruel way and have to suffer pain in the arena(竞技场). Bullfights can also end with a bullfighter’s death or injury if he is pierced(刺穿) by a bull’s horns.
A bullfight usually includes six fights. Three bullfighters with their teams fight two bulls each. A bullfight has three acts. After the bullfight begins, the bull is let into the ring. The bullfighter waves a colorful cape at the bull and tries to make it attack. During this part he studies the movements of the bull. Then an assistant(助手) enters the arena on horseback. He makes the bull weaker by piercing his neck with sharp spikes.
In the second act, the assistants of the bullfighter, called
banderilleros, come into the ring on foot, run around and throw darts(镖) into the animal’s neck to make it even madder.
In the final act the bullfighter is in the ring alone with the bull. He uses a small cape, waves at the bull and lures(引诱) it into attacking him. He tries to be as close to the bull as possible. Finally, he thrusts his sword into the bull’s neck and kills it. If he succeeds in pushing the sword into the bull’s shoulder blades(肩胛骨) it dies at once. After the successful performance of the bullfighter the audience get up and applaud. The bullfighter gets one or maybe even two of the bull’s ears as a reward. ( )31.
