  World leaders burdened with resolving conflicts(沖突)between nations have my sympathy.When my three children were young, most days it was hard keeping my house from becoming a war zone.And that was before breakfast.

  It got worse as they grew older.Three years aw, Zack, then 16, couldn’t make it through a day without playing tricks on his sisters, Alex and Taryn, then 11 and 9.

  My husband and I tried to be understanding of his adolescent moodiness(喜怒無常).We begged, reasoned, punished, and left heartfelt notes on his bed about how his behavior was hurting our family.His response was a shrug and“I say it because it’s true.”

  I even tried telling the girls to fight back.Bad idea.Now I had three kids at war.At wit’s end.I poured my heart out to my sister in an e-mail.She wrote back,“Don’t e-mail me.E-mail him

  Our son was online every day, mailing and instant messaging his friends.So what if I was within shouting distance?Maybe he would actually hear me this way.There’d be no yelling or door slamming.Zack wouldn’t feel under attack.And with a few simple keystrokes, he could respond.Or not.Zack didn’t reply for days.When he finally did, his entire message was four measly(少得可憐的)words.I expected the worst, but then smiled when I read them:“You’re right.I’m sorry,”The kids still fought, of course, but Zack scaled back the abuse.Best of all, I now have an effective way to communicate with not one but three easily annoyed teens.I like that they don’t tune me out as much.They like not having to listen to me nag(指責(zé),嘮叨).Or as Alex says,“You’re so much nicer online.”

  All I know is that the house is quiet, but we’re talking, in fact, Taryn just instant-messaged me from upstairs.It’s time to take her to softball practice.

(1)

主旨推斷題.作者用各種辦法都阻止說服不了兒子,但網(wǎng)上的交流卻解決了問題,作者的意圖顯然是強(qiáng)調(diào)“網(wǎng)絡(luò)交流”的價(jià)值.

(2)

推理判斷題.作者開頭說對忙于解決世界沖突的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人深表同情,目的是用一種幽默的風(fēng)格引出作者自己的問題,與整篇文章輕松幽默的筆調(diào)保持一致.

(3)

細(xì)節(jié)理解題.當(dāng)作者試圖用各種辦法來阻止兒子的行為時(shí),他“聳肩”,表明他一點(diǎn)都沒有改變,而且反駁了作者.

(4)

  概括理解題.概括文章倒數(shù)第二段內(nèi)容可以得出答案:作者因?yàn)樯暇W(wǎng)跟兒子進(jìn)行心平氣和的交流,兒子改變了自己的行為.

  本文是一篇極有趣味的記敘文.作者的三個(gè)孩子總是發(fā)生爭斗,而這一切大都是由于作者的兒子Zack故意欺負(fù)兩個(gè)女兒所引起的.作者想方設(shè)法阻止兒子,但沒有成功.最后作者發(fā)電子郵件向姐姐求助,姐姐讓他給兒子發(fā)電子郵件,網(wǎng)上推心置腹的交流改變了兒子的態(tài)度.

閱讀理解

  Like so many girls of my generation, I went straight from college to society.Through my family's attempt, I found my suitable job.I thought I was doing a great job.

  One day, a female program director arrived at the station.This large and frightening woman came to work every day with an equally large and frightening German dog.She didn't like me.When she called me into her office one Friday afternoon, she simply said,“You're fired!”leaving me to wonder what had gone so terribly wrong.

  Six months later, after calling every program director in town, I went to work for another major-market radio station, doing four-minute stories for a low $15 each.With two young children and a husband who was just starting his own career, I took a chance.

  Today, some 28 years later, I am still at WOR Radio with a two-hour daily talk show interviewing celebrities, authors and politicians, giving information to more than a million listeners a week and loving every minute of it.

  I was young when those firings happened, but the process is still the same.Firings know no age or gender.The trick is to get out from under the covers and make things happen.This is exactly what Sherrye Henry did.

  Sherrye, when her organization came across a sudden financial failure, she was fired.“This wasn't the first job I had lost.Hard as it is, one must remember that there is always life after losing a job.”said Sherrye.Helpful friends, good luck and a good resume got Sherrye back on track.Within a month, she landed what she calls the most satisfying job of her life:raising money for Episconpal Relief and Development(ERD), which provides emergency assistance to people in 40 countries.
