B.Mum’sStrictOrderC.ReunionwithMyBeagle D.MyPassionforReading【语篇解读】记叙文。作者通过自己成功的经历来说明读书可以矫正阅读困难的毛病。10.C细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句Thiswasonemoreweaponforhertodefeatmystrangeproblem—inabilitytoread.可知。11.B细节理解题。根据第二段后半部分的描述可知，这本书吸引作者的地方首先是封面一只猎兔犬，这使作者想起了自己的猎兔犬。12.B推理判断题。根据第三段第一句话及后文的内容可知，作者认为封面上的狗是他曾经拥有过的狗，所以他不知不觉地读了起来。13.A推理判断题。根据最后一段“...authoredhisownbooks,articles,poetryandfiction”可判断，作者创作出版了自己的书，文章，诗歌和小说。也就是说他是个成功的作家。14.A主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了作者通过读书克服了自己的阅读障碍，并最终成为一名成功的作家。所以书的魅力最合适本文。D“Ihateyou!”mydaughterscreamed.“Iwishyouweren’tmymother!”LittledidsherealizethatsomedaysIfeltthesameway.Uglywords,unmetexpectationsandcrazyhormonescanfillamotherdaughterrelationshipwithtension.Asamom,Idesperatelywanttohaveagoodrelationshipwithmydaughter,butIoftendon'tknowhowtoachievethat.Ifeelembarrassed,forafriendseemstohaveagreatrelationshipwithherdaughter.Herdaughterisrespectfulandnotstrongwilled.Sohowdowedevelophealthywaysofrelatingtoourchildren?Mostmomsdesiretobeafriendtoyoungchildrenandforgetthatourfirstpriorityistobetheirparent.Ourdisciplinemustbefirmandconsistent,ourlovegenerousandunconditional.Thisisatimetoinsistonrespect.Howouryoungchildrenthinkaboutusnowisn'tasimportantasitwillbein20years.Sharedexperiencesandinterestsnurturefriendships;thesameistrueinfamilyrelationships.Onemomhasatomboytoddler,soshethrowsballswithher.Anotherhasa12yearoldcook.Theymakejamtogether.Byintentionallyconnecting,tiesareformedthatwillhelpcarrytherelationshipthroughinevitabletimesoftension.Ifyoualreadyrelatewellwithyourgirl,youcanstillexpectroughtimesinyourrelationship,particularlyduringtheteenyears.However,it'simportantnottotakethistimeofgrowthandchangepersonally;femalesjustpusheachother’sbuttons.Whentensionsdorise,beslowtoangerandquicktoforgiveandtoaskforforgiveness.Weallmessup.Thegoodnewsisthatforgivenesscanbeginthehealingprocessinarelationship.15.Whatmadetheauthorembarrassed?A.Thehatredfromherdaughter.B.Thefailuretopleaseherdaughter.C.Certaincontrastbetweenherfriendandher.D.Thetensioninthemotherdaughterrelationship.16.TheunderlinedpartinParagraph3means“
