32、t away from us!” he shouted back, there being an expression of support from his sister.All of a sudden, I found the fault in myself.

33、ontinued to keep me away, but now he was laughing and crying at the same time. My mission to repair the damage caused by my yelling seemed to work well. Still, I regretted not having controlled myself first in a right way.Need I let them know how badly they were acting by blaming? This is a lesson t
34、hat serves myself. It only shows just how to get rid of something (ill-feelings, responsibility) by blaming others. Its not my “best self”.We have to search for our “best self” when with our children. They dont need perfect parents, but they do need parents who are always trying to get better. Here,
35、 I am reminded of the words of a great thinker. “When a man lives with God, his voice shall be as sweet as the murmur of the book” Then, in our lifetime, couldnt we always speak to our kids in such a sweet voice since most of us consider them as the most precious in the world? And before we reach th

It may be a game of some formsfootball, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion of
41、climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, 第 8 页 共 17 页 by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to w
42、hich men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football.

43、ntaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.

There are, it is true, n

He has to fight the forces of nature.

But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than young
46、er men, but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.46. What sports are popular among people in winter in the passage?A. Soccer and golf. B. Skiing and skating.C. Cycling and hockey. D. Mountaineering.47. The underlined word “passio
47、n” in Paragraph 2 could best be replaced by _.A. strong emotion B. good wayC. better feeling D. enough affection48.
