My husband and I insisted that our children were old enough to clean their rooms and make their beds. But they thought 11 . My complaints, even self-justified shouting, were always landing on 12 ears. Very often a whole hour’s scolding would end with their 13 into tears, I felt very frustrated. I realized I needed to 14 my method of “mothering”.

One day when they were at school, I spent some time 15 their rooms. On their desks, in plain 16 , I left the cards: “Dear Bill (the other card was 17 to Sarah), your room was messy this morning and I’m sure you like it clean. Love, the Room Fairy.” 18 arriving back, the children were 19 excited to receive the little note from the Room Fairy. The next day, their rooms were fairly tidy. Sure enough, there was another note from the Room Fairy __20 for them, thanking them for their nice “gift” of a clean room and 21 asking them to play a certain violin 22 . Each day, thank--you notes would be written differently to keep the ideas 23 .

Sometimes the Room Fairy would propose a little 24 : “If you can finish your homework and 25 your lessons before dinner, I’ d like to watch a particular television program with you tonight.” Sometimes some colored markers or other little items would be left in 26 of well done jobs the day 27 .

28 I can’t remember how long “the Room Fairy” continued leaving her love notes. When they were age appropriate, we used various versions of Post-Its(贴条). The bathroom mirror became the 29 centre of our home. Appointments, notices about visiting relatives, lesson schedules, and changes in plans could be posted.

第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Most Americans would have a difficult time telling you, specifically, what are the values which Americans live by. They have never given the matter any thought.

Over the years I have introduced thousands of international visitors to life in the United States. This has caused me to try to look at Americans through the eyes of foreign visitors. I am confident that the values listed in this booklet describe most ( but not all) Americans, and that understanding these values can help you, the international visitor, understand Americans.

It is my belief that if foreign visitors really understand how deeply these 13 values are?ingrained?in?Americans, they will then be able to understand 95% of American actions-actions which might otherwise?appear "strange", "confusing", or "unbelievable" when evaluated from the perspective of the foreigner's own society and its values.?

The different behaviors of a people or a culture make sense only when seen through the basic beliefs,?assumptions and values of that particular group. When you encounter ( meet) an action, or hear a statement in the United States which surprises you, try to see it as an expression of one or more of the values listed in this?booklet.?

31. An ordinary American can't tell you his/her value system because _____.

A. this is something an American lives by?

B. everyone will have his/her own value system?

C. he/she has never thought about it?

D. values are something often in their thought?

32. The author lists 13 values in his booklet to _____.

A. invite foreigners to visit America?

B. look at Americans through the eyes of foreign visitors?

C. describe the confusing actions of most Americans?

D. help international visitors understand Americans?

The underlined word "ingrained" in Line 2, Paragraph 3 most probably means _____.

A. rooted in the minds? B. found in the grains?

C. planted for food? D. prepared with grain?

Visitors sometimes find Americans behave in a strange, confusing or unbelievable

way, probably because _____.?

A. Americans are hard to understand?

B. Americans have values which are entirely different from their own?

C. they view Americans according to the values in their own society

D. it is difficult to understand any people when you first encounter them?

B

I'm seventeen. I had worked as a box boy at a supermarket in Los Angeles. People came to the counter and you put things in their bags for them and carried things to their cars. It was hard?work.?

While working, you wear a plate with your name on it. I once met someone I knew years ago. I remembered his name and said,?"Mr Castle, how are you?" We talked about this and that. As he left, he said, "It was nice talking to you, Brett." I felt great, he remembered me. Then I looked down at my name plate. Oh, no. He didn't remember me at all, he just read the name plate. I wish I had put "Irving"?down on my name plate. If he'd have said, "Oh yes, Irving, how could I forget you?" I'd have been ready for him. There's nothing personal here.?

The manager and everyone else who were a step above the box boys often shouted orders. One of?these was: you couldn't accept tips. Okay, I'm outside and I put the bags in the car. For a lot of people,?the natural reaction is to take a quarter and give it to me. I'd say, "I'm sorry, I can't." They'd get angry. When you give someone a tip, you're sort of being polite. You take a quarter and you put it in?their hand and you expect them to say, "Oh, thanks a lot." When you say, "I'm sorry, I can't." They feel?a little?put down.?They say, "No one will know." And they put it in your pocket. You say, "I really can't." It gets to a point where you almost have to hurt a person physically to prevent him from tipping you. It was not in agreement with the store's belief in being friendly. Accepting tips was a friendlything?and made the customer feel good. I just couldn't understand the strangeness of some people's ideas.

One lady actually put it in my pocket, got in the car, and drove away. I would have had to throw the quarter at her or eaten it or something.?

I had decided that one year was enough. Some people needed the job to stay alive and fed. I guess I had the means and could afford to hate
