In those days he was a young-looking man. He did not hesitate to make friends with children as soon as they were able to talk to him and laugh at his stories. Mother was older than he was. She must have been a woman of nearly forty, but she seemed even older. She changed little for a long time, showing no indication of growing old at all until, towards the end of her life, she suddenly became an old lady.I was always inquisitive about Mothers age. She never had birthdays like other people, nor did anyone else in our family. No candles were ever lit or cakes made or presents given in our house. To my friends in the street who talked delightfully about their birthday parties, I would repeat my mothers words that such celebrations were only foolish.“Nothing but deception,” she would say. “As though life can be marked by birthdays. Its deeds, not years, that matter.”Although I often repeated her words and even prided myself on not having birthdays, I once could not help asking Mother when she was born.“I was born. Im alive as you can see, so what more do you want to know?” she replied, so sharply that I never asked her about her age again.In so many other ways Mother was different. Whereas all the rest of the women I knew in the neighboring hoses took pride in their housewifely abilities, their new furniture, the neat appearance of their homes, Mother regarded all those things as of little importance. Our house always looked as if we had just moved in or were about to move out.24. How did Father impress the author?A. He liked writing stories. B. He loved making friends.C. He was a very young man. D. He was popular with children.25. Before the end of her life, Mother _.A. looked quite young B. looked like an old ladyC. looked younger than she was C. looked like a forty-year-old woman26. What does the word “inquisitive” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Certain B. Curious. C. Cautious. D. Confident.27. What do we learn about Mother?A. She was lazy. B. She was strict. C. She was proud. D. She was specialCIt is only praise or punishment that determines a childs level of confidence. There are some other important ways we shape our kids-particularly by giving instructions and commands in a negative or positive choice of words. For example, we can say to a child “Dont run into traffic!” pr “Stay on the footpath close to me.” In using the latter, you will be helping your kids to think and act positively, and to feel competent in a wide range of situations, because they know what to do, and arent scaring themselves about what not to do.Why does such a small thing make a difference? It is all in the way the human mind works. What we think, we automatically rehearse (预演).
