(40 points)Text 1One evening last summer, when I asked my 14-year-old son, Ray, for help with dinner, his response shocked me. “Whats a colander (漏勺)?” he asked.I could only blame myself. In the family, nobody else helped me in the kitchen. But that night, as I explained with a touch of panic that a colander is the thing with holes in it, I wondered what else I hadnt prepared Ray for.As parents, while we focus on our sons confidence and character, we perhaps dont always consider that we are also raising someones future roommates, boyfriends, husbands, or fathers. I wanted to know that Pd raised a boy who would never ask the woman in his life, “Whats for dinner?” So I came up with a plan: I would offer Ray a private home course. I was delighted to find that he didnt say no. For two hours, three days a week, Ray was all mine.I knew that he would rather have been playing in the driveway than learning to mend socks with his mother-he tried to beg not to have sewing lessons, even though I insisted that one day, someone would find the sight of him fixing his own shirt very attractive- but it couldnt be denied that he was learning, and more than just housekeeping. “I appreciate what you do as a mom,” he told me one day. Ray now understands the finer points of cooking, and more importantly, he realizes theres nothing good about being helpless.Now, not only can he make his own dinner, but also he can make a big meal for his family. Thats what I call a man. Im glad that I prepared so great a present for my future daughter-in-law.1、Why was the author shocked at her sons response?ABecause he was not well behaved.BBecause he refused to help with dinner.CBecause he didnt know the common kitchen tools.DBecause he was very curious about kitchen tools.2、In the authors opinion, some parents pay little attention to .Abuilding up childrens confidenceBtellin
