21、 It’s late at night. A car stops in the middle of a forest. After dropping off their three teenagers, the parents say “good luck” and drive away. The teenagers, totally lost, have to find their way back home by themselves.
It may sound crazy to you, but this is a tradition with a long history for Dutch parents called “dropping”. Dutch people believe that children should not depend too much on their parents and should learn how to solve problems through activities like “dropping”.
However, for many other parents around the world, their top worry is their children’s safety. After all, why should they put their children at risk when there are many other ways to develop their independence?
People have many different opinions about parenting (育儿). All parents want their children to be happy, healthy and successful. In China, for example, many parents spend much money on summer vacation activities for their children. They want their children to enjoy their vacation as much as possible.
But some parents try too hard and become “helicopter ( 直 升 机 ) parents”—just the opposite of “dropping”. They worry too much about their children and pay attention to everything they do—like helicopters flying over their children. In their eyes, children need to be protected all the time.
But this might not be a good parenting style either, according to American parenting expert Kenneth Ginsburg. As Ginsburg writes, parents should keep a balance (平衡) by “making sure their children don’t crash (碰撞) against the rocks, but allowing them to ride the waves (波浪).”
【1】For Dutch people, “dropping” can help children .
A.learn how to solve problems B.find their homes in forests
C.depend on their parents D.enjoy a summer vacation
【2】Many other parents around the world worried the most about .
A.good luck B.safety C.grades D.success
【3】Which one of the following pictures can best show “helicopter parents”?
A.A B.B C.C D.D
【4】According to Kenneth Ginsburg, parents should .
A.find a balance between keeping safe and letting go
B.depend a lot on their children in the future
C.let their children take risks all the time
D.watch their children doing everything
22、Long long ago, there was a kind lady. Every day, she baked bread for her family and an extra loaf for any hungry passer-by. She placed the extra bread beside a window. When the woman placed the bread, she always gave a prayer for her son. Her son had gone to a faraway place and she hadn’t heard from his for a very long time.
Every day, a tramp came and took away the bread. He said when he was leaving, “The evil you do remains with you. The good you do comes back to you.”
The woman felt irritated. “Not even a word of thanks”, she said to herself with unhappiness.
This went on, day by day.
Finally, the woman became so angry that she decided to get rid of the tramp. She added poison to the bread she was going to offer to the tramp! When she was placing it, her hands shook. “Look at what I’ve done!” she immediately threw the bread into fire and made another one.
As usual, the tramp came and pick up the bread. “The evil you do remains with you. The good you do comes back to you,” he said again and left.
That evening, there was a knock on the door. Surprisingly, the women’s son was standing in the doorway. He was tired and weak. “Mum, it’s a miracle that I can come back home! While I was only a mile away, I was so hungry that I almost gave up. But just then an old tramp gave me a loaf of bread. He said that the bread was his food everyday. But today, I should get the bread, for I needed the bread much more than he did!”

23、How we spend our time can be divided into three groups, or "jars". These would be the necessary tasks jar, the voluntary tasks jar and the happiness jar.
Every day, we spend time filling the necessary tasks jar. We fill this jar with useful things, like making money, housework, buying food. We then fill another jar with voluntary tasks. These are things that we do for others, but we may not enjoy them, such as taking children to activities and cooking family meals. Those jars are very important. If we don’t fill them each day, our family won’t be happy.
However, we often forget to fill the third jar — the happiness jar. This is the jar that we fill with activities to make us happy. Is your happiness jar sometimes empty at the end of the day? We all have days like that. Between doing all the necessary and voluntary tasks, time flies quickly and before we know it, it is time for bed.
That is why each day we try to fill our happiness jar. Most days, I fill mine by going to the ballroom dance(社交舞) class with my husband and daughter. Between the music, the dancing and the friendship among the students, I always leave classes happier than when I entered.
Music is another way to make me happy. This week, I was glad to take part in an orchestra(管弦乐队) practice at my church(教堂). A small group of us met to practice Christmas music for a church service. It was a time of fun, friendship and music making. At the end of the evening, my happiness jar was full.
This week, think about how you spent your time. Are you doing enough activities that bring joy to your life? Or are the necessary and voluntary tasks eating up all your time? Try to find ways to achieve a balance(获得平衡) among your three jars. At the end of the day, hopefully we’ve done all we can to make sure that our happiness jar is filled.
【1】How many groups can we divide our time into?
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
【2】Which of the following is TRUE about the writer?

B. She goes to the ballroom dance class to make herself happy every day.

D. She takes her husband and daughter to dance club in order to make them happy.
【3】What can we do to fill the happiness jar according to the passage?
A. Wash clothes B. Watch a film
C. Mop the floor D. Look after children
【4】What can we know from Paragraph 4 and 5?
A. The writer took a class at church to practice music.
B. The writer finds friendship is important for her happiness.
C. The writer was invited to join an orchestra as she is good at singing.
