A

On the last day before Christmas, I hurried to a store to buy some gifts. While looking in the toys section,. I

noticed a small boy of about five years old, pressing a doll against his chest．Keeping on touching the hair of the doll, the boy murmured sadly, "I don't have enough money．What can I do?" I walked towards him and asked him curiously who he wanted to give the doll to．

" It is the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for this Christmas．She was so sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her．" I told him that maybe Santa Claus would bring it to her after all and not to worry．However, he replied sadly, " No, Santa Claus cannot take it to where she is now．I have to give the doll to my mother so that she can give it to her when she goes there．" His eyes looked so sad while saying this． " My sister has gone to be with God．Daddy says that Mommy will also join God very soon so I think that she can take the doll with her to give it to my sister．" My heart nearly stopped．

The boy looked up at me and said, " I told Daddy to tell Mommy not to go yet．I asked him to wait until I come back from the store．" Then, he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing．He told me, " I also want Mommy to take this photo with her so that she will not forget me, I love my Mommy and I wish she didn't have to leave me but Daddy says that she has to go and join my little sister．" Then he looked at the doll again quietly with sad eyes．

I quickly reached my hand into my pocket, saying, "What if we checked again, just in case, to see if you have enough money?"

Of course, there are disadvantages. A lot of effort and communication are needed before the arrangements are finalized. Nobody wants a stranger living in their house, sleeping in their bed and using their bathroom, so you have to get to know each other well beforehand.

Some people are concerned about theft or property damage, but in reality this is very rare. Most home-exchangers have the view that “If they can trust me with their house, I can trust them with mine.” The worse complaint people have is the difference in standards of cleanness.

If you’re interested in home-exchange for your next holiday, start by contacting a famous agency like homelink.org and intervac,co.uk. These agencies will also have advice about preparing for a home-exchange.

25. What will you most probably remember if you have exchanged your home with another?

A. The sunset. B. The car or boat of the home owner.

C. The pet of the home owner. D. A gathering in his neighborhood.

26. If you want to exchange your home with another, you should do all of the following EXCEPT_________.

A. trying to know each other B. surfing the Internet for information

C. inviting your neighbors home for tea D. finding someone who wants to visit your area

27. Where can you most probably find the passage?

A. In a story book. B. In a guide book. C. In a textbook. D. In a science book.

Every creature has its own emotion. Our humans need emotions to process information we receive and decide how to respond． Fear is an emotion like others such as happiness，anger，hurt and sadness. Being afraid of fast cars，for example，is something that might protect us from harm. Being afraid of the consequence of a choice may prevent us getting into trouble．

Fears in young children commonly center on certain animals like snakes or big dogs. Fears are caused often because of experiences or ideas expressed by others，and at times，the media. Many normal fears during the early years，like men with beards，or large dogs，disappear with age. Those relating to personal failure and ridicule （嘲笑） remain through adulthood and may need special help to overcome．

Children’s fears are often small，but that doesn’t mean they should be dismissed as trivial （微不足道的）．They need to be recognized and accepted as real for that child. Only when we help children understand their fears can they grow normally in their ability to settle them．

Research shows that as a child grows up，the center of his fears changes a lot. Things like divorce，a teacher who “shouted at me”，people with guns，bullies，big boys，or “making fun of me” top the list of childhood fears.”

We cannot always prevent these experiences from happening，but it is essential that children be allowed to freely express their emotions without judgment. Sympathy and a caring listener will help ease pain of these fears. Read books and stories to your child about children who have experienced similar fears. This helps children talk about their fears and find ways to cope. With all emotions，fears become less of a problem for children as they gain self-confidence and they find that fear is normal and can be dealt with．

28．According to Paragraph 2，we know that fears in young children________．

A. only center on frightening animals B. can make sure of their safety

C. are not born but learned D. need special help to deal with

29．In dealing with children’s fears，the final goal of the parents is to________．

A. stop unpleasant experiences happening to children

B. let children know about the nature of fear

C. develop children’s ability to treat their fears on their own

D. create an environment where there is nothing to fear

30．From the passage we can learn that________．

A. children with similar fears can communicate easily

B. children should avoid the media to reduce their fear

C. fears can be judged according to the environment

D. some childhood fears may have a lasting influence

31．What’s the best title for this passage?

A. Children’s fears． B. How to overcome children’s fears．

C. The kind of children’s fears． D. The bad effects of fears．
