In today’s society, it is far easier to make children lose concentration than to teach personal development 50 and that’s a common problem. For example, it is much easier for parents to buy a new toy or turn on the television for their children than to 51 their curiosity (好奇)in a natural way. This strong 52 to know the world will lead them through self-learning, by which they would slowly value the 53 of hard work and patience.

Basically, the easiest method for parents to teach patience to their children is not by 54 them things, but by giving their children an opportunity to learn what they are interested in. Thus, parents can teach their children the same 55 lessons that they have painfully learned too. The point is, realize what they lack and take action immediately.

A

I was raised on a farm in the Fraser Valley along with five sisters and one brother. When I was 15, I got addicted to drinking at weekends and then dropped out of school. By the time I was 17, I continued to drink heavily. I couldn't find a job to support myself. So, I had no other choice but to join the army. I retired and went back home three years later, still a heavy drinker. When I was 22, I met Sue whose father was also a heavy drinker, so my behavior didn't surprise her. We were soon married and later had two daughters. I started my first business when I was in my mid-twenties. A few years later, I bought a large chicken farm. Even with this success, though, my drinking was always a problem. It affected my marriage and family so much that I knew I had to make up my mind to stop drinking. So I tried great efforts. But two years later, I began drinking again. When I was in my mid-thirties, I sold both of my businesses, and bought the big house on the hill. I was not at all happy, although I had everything that was supposed to make me happy. I sold our big house on the hill and bought a large land, where I built a new house. Our marriage was in big trouble, and my finances would go down the drain. For the first time in many years, I had to go to work for someone as an employee. I took a job as a heavy equipment operator in a road building camp.  My marriage still came apart when I was 38, and my kids had to go through our divorce. I spent 6 months in giving up drinking on a school camp. Nearly a year later, I met my childhood neighbor girl, June. We were married not long afterwards. My kids learned to trust me again and I have two stepchildren that also love me. Happy life continued about ten years. Everything was going so well when I felt there was something wrong with my body. I went to see a doctor, and the medical examination came out that I had ALS(肌肉萎缩症). Record shows that people with ALS generally survive between two to five years after symptoms appear. I've probably had the symptoms for one-and-a-half years already, so I don't know how much time I have left.…God knows…56. Which of the following is the right order for the author’s experience?  a.

A. a, d, c, b, f, e B. b, d, f, c, e, a C. b, c, d, a, f, e D. f, b, d, c, e , a57. The underlined phrase “go down the drain”(in Paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to “__”.  A. be out of expectation B. be totally successful

C. become worse and worse D. be safe in one’s pocket58. What can we know about the author?  A. He began drinking at the age of 17. B. He ended his army life at the age of 19.  C. He was not happy, although he live
