26、 My father was left fatherless at the age of 12, and pretty much on his own then.
Because of that, he was never the loving type. He didn’t have time to offer a pat on the back or a loving hug（拥抱）. He was built for work, and work he did—7 days a week—expecting my brothers and me to do the same.
Growing up, I spent much of my free time laboring with him on jobs around the house. To him, working alongside someone was the best way to show you cared. The way you felt about a person was clear from the fact you spent time with the person; you didn’t need to express your feelings. As far as I know, he never did. Except once.
I was 22, graduated from college, and leaving home for the last time. He and I had loaded my things into the car and were talking in the garage. Without warning, he wrapped me in his huge arms and hugged me tight.“You were always my favorite,”he said.“I love you, and I’m going to miss you.”
With that, he shooed（用“嘘”声驱赶）me into the car and then left for the house, tears in his eyes.
I was floored by his response—and then felt proud, pleased and grateful. Yet some small part of me also wondered why it had taken him so long to express his love.
I can accept now that it wasn’t possible for him to be warm—his feelings were buried too deeply under the layers of a tough life. Thanks to my father’s once-in-a-lifetime hug, I’ve come to realize something he never could. A hug is more than simple physical touch. It is a lightning-like connection between two people. A link that expresses love, encouragement, comfort-all the emotions that can strengthen a relationship, even turn a life around.
【1】According to the author, his father didn’t show his feelings easily because of all the following reasons EXCEPT _____.
A.he didn’t think it important to show his love
B.he always worked around the house and paid no attention to his kids
C.he himself grew up without love from his own father
D.he thought the best way to show feelings was to spend time together
【2】The word“floored”in the passage can be best replaced by _____.
A.frightened B.flooded
C.hit D.confused
【3】It can be inferred from the passage that the author will probably _____.
A.hide his feelings for his kids as deeply as his father did
B.offer physical touch like hugs to his own kids quite often
C.not spend time working around the house with his own kids
D.not understand his father’s love for him for the rest of his life
【4】The purpose of the writing is to _____.
A.mention the importance of a hug in our life
B.tell us an unhappy childhood without father’s care
C.share a touching story of the author and his father
D.show the difficult relationship between child and parents

28、Time and how we experience it have always puzzled us. Physicists have created fascinating theories, but their time is measured by a pendulum (钟摆) and is not psychological time, which leaps with little regard to the clock or calendar. As someone who understood the distinction observed, 'When you sit with a nice girl for two hours it seems like a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like two hours. '
Psychologists have long noticed that larger units of time, such as months and years, fly on swifter wings as we age. They also note that the more time is structured with schedules and appointments, the more rapidly it seems to pass. For example, a day at the office flies compared with a day at the beach.
Expectation and familiarity also make time seem to flow more rapidly. Almost all of us have had the experience of driving somewhere we've never been before. Surrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no real idea of when we’ll arrive, we experience the trip as lasing a long time. But the return trip, although exactly as long, seems to take far less time. The novelty of the outward journey has become routine.
When days become as identical as beads (小珠子)on a string, they mix together, and even months become a single day. To counter this, try to find ways to interrupt the structure of your day-- to stop time, so to speak.
Learning something new is one of the ways to slow the passage of time. One of the reasons the days of our youth seems to be full and long is that these are the days of learning and discovery. For many of us, learning ends when we leave school, but this doesn't have to be.
【1】What is the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 used to show?
A．Psychological time is quite puzzling.
B．Time should not be measured by a pendulum.
C．Physical time is different from psychological time
D．Physical theory has nothing to do with the true sense of time
【2】Why do units of time fly faster as we grow older?
A．Our sense of time changes.
B．We spend less time at the beach
C．More time is structured and scheduled
D．Time is structured with too many appointments.
【3】What does 'Novelty' in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．excitement
B．unfamiliarity
C．imagination
D．amusement
【4】What is the purpose of the passage?
A．To give various explanations about time
B．To describe how we experience time physically
C．To show the differences of two kinds of time
D．To explain why time flies and how to slow it down
29、 Dear daughters，
Most parents tell their children，"You can be anything you want when you grow up. ”I feel the same and I say this often. But I also want you to understand that the dream itself comes from hard work，some good luck and good timing.
Girls，here are some words of wisdom as you make your way in the world，from an entrepreneur and from your mama.
1. Be open-minded to changing your path（even several times）along the way
In high school，I wanted to be a politician. I left my hometown and went off to college in Washington，DC. There，I discovered that I loved to support women. It taught me that I'm creative，a strong leader and great at marketing. As a result，I moved on to be the head of a national health care nonprofit. Becoming a mother while in that job opened my mind to launching a breast pump bag business. Now I run a highly successful company that I started up on my own.
Figure out what you are good at and what you are passionate（充满激情的）about. Keep an open mind；the initial path you choose may lead you into other areas.
Don't waste your money or time，but constantly change what you are doing professionally based on what you are learning about yourself.
2. Failure is critical to your success
I won't tell you to feel good about failure. Failure can be heartbreaking. But I will tell you that every failure I've had along the way has absolutely made me better.
Failing the big math exam in high school and going to summer school was embarrassing. I eventually passed，and I've never failed an exam again. I learned from that experience to ask for help. Now，I ask for help in business all the time.
Being passed over for a significant job opportunity that I was more than qualified for because of unfair assumptions（being too young for the role）hurt me. I had a three-month pity party. And then I went out and got a big job at a national organization at age 27. It's okay to get angry！Take that and turn it into positive action.
I'm proud to be a role model to you as a mom and an entrepreneur. I hope I inspire you to believe that you can be anything you want and you can have everything on your list. It will be my pleasure to watch your lives unfold before my eyes.
Love，
Your Mom
