Grandparents Answer a Call
As a third generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never pleased move away。

Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help their children，she politely refused. Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms. Gaf finally say yes。

That was four years ago。

Today all three generations regard the move to a success，giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities。

No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to the children and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing. Even President Obama’s mother-in—law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study grandparents com。

83 percent of the people said Mrs。

Robinson ‘s decision will influence the grandparents in the American family。

Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama's family.
“In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn't get away from home far enough fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,” says Christine Crosby，publisher of Grate magazine for grandparents. We now realize how important family is and how important to be near them, especially when you’re rai s ing children.”
Moving is not for everyone。

Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard，especially knowing your adult child is struggling，but giving up the life you know may be harder.
29。

Why was Garza’s move a success？
A。

It strengthened her family ties。

B。

It improved her living conditions.
C。

It enabled her make more friends. D。

It helped her know more new places。

30。

What was the reaction of the public to Mrs. Robinson’s decision？
A. 17％expressed their support for it.
B. Few people responded sympathetically。

C。

83% believed it had a bad influence。

D. The majority thought it was a trend.
31. What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s？
A。

They were unsure of raise more children. B. They were eager to raise more children。

C。

They wanted to live away from their parents。

D。

They bad little respect for their grandparent。

32。

What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph？
A。

Make decisions in the best interests' of their own B。

Ask their children to pay more visits to them
C。

Sacrifice for their struggling children D. Get to know themselves better
D
Five years ago，when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student，and said:"Make something out of the Tinkertoys。

You have 45 minutes today —and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.”
A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see the rest of the class would do。

Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations。

Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home。

I was delighted at the presence of such a student。

Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students。

Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking。

Without fail one would declare, ”But I’m just not creative。

"
“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?”
“Oh, sure。

"
“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads。

“That's pretty creative. Who does that for you?”
“Nobody. I do it.”
“Really-at night，when you’re asleep?”
“Sure。

"
“Try doing it in the daytime, in class，okay？"
33。

The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________?
A. teach the students about toy design
B. make the lessons more exciting
C。

raise the students’ interest in art D。

know more about the students
34。

What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A。

Mistake. B. Drawback. C。

Difficulty. D. Burden.
35. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams？
A. To find out about their sleeping habits. B。

To help them to see their creativity.
C。

To help them to improve their memory. D. To find out about their ways of thinking.
第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Color is fundamental in home design—something you'll always have in every room。

A grasp of how to manage color in your spaces is one of the first steps to creating rooms you’ll love to live in。

Do you want a room that’s full of life? Professional? Or are you just looking for a place to relax after a long day? 36 , color is the key to making a room feel the way you want it to feel。

Over the years，there have been a number of different techniques to help designers approach this important point。

37 ，they can get a little complex. But good news is that there're really only three kinds of decisions you need to make about color in your home: the small ones，the medium ones，and the large ones。

38 。

They're the little spots of color like throw pillows，mirrors and baskets that most of us use to add visual interest to our rooms。

Less tiring than painting your walls and less expensive than buying a colorful sofa，small color choices bring with them the significant benefit of being easily changeable.
Medium color choices are generally furniture pieces such as sofas, dinner tables or bookshelves. 39 。

They require a bigger commitment than smaller ones，and they have a more powerful effect on the feeling of a space.
The large color decisions in your rooms concern the walls，ceilings，and floors。

Whether you're looking at wallpaper or paint，the time，effort and relative expense put into it are significant。

40 。

A.While all of them are useful
B.Whatever you’re looking for
C.If you’re experimenting with a color
D.Small color choices are the ones we’re most familiar with
E.It’s not really a good idea to use too many small color pieces
F.So it pays to be sure，because you want to get it right the first time
G.Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways

【参考答案】Dear Bob,
How are you doing? We planned to go to the bookstore this Saturday. Unfortunately，I can’t make it。

So, I am writing to express my heartfelt apology to you.
How I wish I could go with you! However，I am chosen to represent our school to take part in the English debate competition with an America high school, which, you know, is of great importance to me，for I have always been dreaming to have a chance like this to improve my spoken English. As a result，I have no choice but to say sorry to you。

How about going to the bookshop this Sunday？Then both of us will be available and I can share my experience of the competition with you. Please. I am looking forward to your reply。

Yours,
LiHua。
