moment comes for their child to leave home and go to university Even parents who don t speak about the event are likely to feel a sense of sadness because it s the end of an era where you and your family were at the centre of your child s world As a parent you ll probably continue to support your child in different ways but the main job of raising your child is over It s a huge change for everyone involved There are a few things that you can do to make the transition easier Plan carefully for your child s departure and think about how you can help Many parents take their child to university for the first time If you decide to do that be ready to feel a real wrench when the time comes to say goodbye Your child will probably be as nervous as you are about the moment when you finally say goodbye but that might not show Be positive and cheerful about the choice your child has made to continue studying and plan to leave once you ve unpacked the car and looked around your child s new living accommodations If you can save your tears for the car you ll make things easier on your child and yourself The more you ve invested in being a parent the more you ll feel a sense of loss so the sadness you feel now is a sign that you ve been a good mom or dad Remind yourself that parenting is all about raising an independent and confident child who functions well without you If your child quickly settles and starts enjoying himself you should congratulate yourself It s also only fair to allow yourself some time to grieve 悲痛 Don t expect to pick yourself up and move on straight away But you may decide to find a hobby or sport to fill your extra time Perhaps you ve always wanted to learn a new language go to yoga classes or take up swimming You may decide to spend more time with family and close friends who are likely to be feeling the absence of your child as well Agree on the best approach to staying in touch before your child leaves and stick to your agreement Try not to panic if your child doesn t respond immediately remember they re starting a new and busy life 56 Why do parents feel sad when their child leaves home for college A Because the

touch with your child 60 What would be an appropriate title for the whole passage A Staying in Touch with Your Child B Preparing to Say Goodbye to Your Child C Dealing with Your Child Leaving Home for University D Life after Your Child Has Left Home for University B Ask most people how they define the American Dream and chances are they ll say Success The dream of individual opportunity has been present in America since Europeans discovered The New World in the Western Hemisphere Early immigrants like Hector St Jean de Crevecoeur highly praised the freedom and opportunity to be found in this new land His enthusiastic descriptions of a classless society where anyone could attain success through honesty and hard work fired the imaginations of many European readers In Letters from an American Farmer 1782 he wrote We are all excited at the spirit of an industry which is unfettered 无拘无束的 and unrestrained because each person works for himself We have no princes for whom we toil 干苦力活 starve and bleed We are the most perfect society now existing in the world The promise of a land where the rewards of a man s industry follow with equal steps the progress of his labor drew poor immigrants from Europe and fueled national expansion into the western lands Our national historical story is full of illustration of the American success story For instance Benjamin Franklin was the very model of the self educated self made man who rose from modest origins to become a well known scientist philosopher and statesman In the nineteenth century Horatio Alger a writer of fiction for young boys became American s best selling author with his rags to riches tales The idea of success impressed us we spend millions every year reading about the rich and famous learning how to make a fortune in real estate 房地产 with no money down and dressing for success TheThe storystory ofof successsuccess hashas eveneven affectedaffected ourour personalpersonal relationships relationships todaytoday it sit s asas importantimportant toto bebe successful successful inin marriagemarriage oror parenthoodsparenthoods asas itit isis toto comecome outout onon toptop inin business business But dreams easily turn into nightmares Every American who hopes to make it also knows the fear of failure because the story of success implies comparison between the haves and the have nots the stars and the unknown crowd Under pressure of the story we become lost in status symbols we try to live in the right neighborhoods wear the right clothes and eat the right foods These symbols of distinction assure us and others that we believe strongly in the fundamental equality of all yet try as hard as we can 7 to separate ourselves from our fellow citizens 61 What is the nature of the American Dream according to Crevecoeur A People are free to develop their power of imagination B People who are honest and work hard can succeed C People are free from being used and treated badly D People can fully enjoy individual freedom 62 By saying the rewards of a man s industry follow with equal steps the progress of his labor the author means A the more hard working one is the bigger his returns are B hard work ensures the growth of an industry C a man s business should be developed step by step D a company s success depends on its employees hard work 63 It can be inferred from the last sentence of Paragraph 2 that A business success often contributes to a successful marriage B Americans wish to succeed in every aspect of life C good personal relationships lead to business success D successful business people provide good care for their children 64 What is the paradox 矛盾 of American culture according to the author of the passage A The American road to success is full of nightmares B Status symbols are not a real symbol of a person s wealth C The American Dream is nothing but an empty dream D What Americans fight for often disagrees with their beliefs C Tess still stood hesitating like a swimmer about to make his dive hardly knowing whether to return or move forward when a figure came out from the dark door of the tent It was a tall young man smoking He had an almost black face though red and smooth His moustache was black with curled points though he could not be more than twenty three or four There was all unusual force in his face and in his daring rolling eyes Well my beauty what can I do for you said he coming forward And seeing that she was quite at a loss Never mind me I am Mr D Urbervilles Have you come to see me or my mother This differed greatly from what Tess had expected She had dreamed of an aged and dignified face She tried to keep calm and answered I came to see your mother sir I am afraid you cannot see her she is ill in bed replied the representative of the house for this was Mr Alec the only son of the noble family What is the business you wish to see her about It isn t business it is I can hardly say what Pleasure Oh no Why sir if I tell you it will seem 8 Tess s sense of a certain ridicule was now so strong that despite her general discomfort at being here her rosy lips curved 弯曲 towards a smile much to the attraction of the young man It is so foolish she stammered 结结巴巴地说 I fear I can t tell you Never mind I like foolish things Try again my dear said he kindly Mother asked me to come Tess continued and indeed I was in the mind to do so myself But I did not think it would be like this I came sir to tell you that we are of the same family as you Ho Poor relations Yes Stokes No d Urbervilles Ay ay I mean d Urbervilles Our names are worn away to Durbeyfield but we have several proofs that we are d Urbervilles The local scholars hold the view that we are and and we have an old seal 印章 and a silver spoon marked with the same castle as yours So mother said we ought to make ourselves known to you as we ve lost our horse by a bad accident we can hardly make a living Very kind of your mother I m sure Alec looked at Tess as he spoke in a way that made her uneasy And so my pretty girl you ve come on a friendly visit to us as relations I suppose I have looking less confident and uncomfortable again Well there s no harm in it Where
