Like most big projects, lear ning to man age your mother well is what you should do.
Here are what I believe the best steps towards a better relati on ship with her. They
are not n ecessarily surpris ing or revoluti on ary, but they have worked for many people.
Try them.
Rememberyour mother' s age.As children, we often do not think of our mother as having an age. Even whe n we become con scious of her as an in dividual , age does not cha nge our view; she is still our mother.Knowing our mother ' s age, not just in numbers of
years but in terms of her psychological and physical state, often helps us to
un dersta nd her better.
Liste n to your mother.I have found that sometimes the things my mother told me long ago are remarkably useful. If your mother knows that you respect her point of view, eve n if you do not share it, it will help her feel close to you.
Remember that your mother has a past. A key step in man agi ng our relati on ship with
our mother is to find out about her early life. Niclle ' s mother suffered much during the Second World War.
“ My pare nts are both Jewish-Turkish. They met i n France and
married young for love. They were in their twenties when war broke out and because they were Jews , they had to go into hiding. She does speak to me about the war, and
I thi nk it is importa nt to know what she went through. It is a part of her life that
must have affected her deeply. ” Sometimes, in learning about our mother ' s past, we know that it can en courage us to think about her whole life.
Ask your mother about your childhood history.My gran dpare nts died whe n I was young.
If you are fortun ate eno ugh to have livi ng family, th ink of your life as a jigsaw( 拼图)puzzle and ask as many questions as you can to put the picture together. Un dersta nding your roots and your childhood can help you know more clearly who you are, as part of a family which you share with your mother.
Keep a sense of humor about your mother. I have often listened to stories of difficult mothers and I have also listened to the following piece of advice which I have found most helpful : Don' t have a sense of humor failure about your mother.
Remember that man agi ng your mother is really about managing yourself.No matter how
difficult we find her, it is important
to remember that it is not her behavior itself
that is causing us discomfort, but the way we feel about her behavior. Weshould follow the way of her life.
Only the n are you able to accept your mother — with all her
faili ngs.
20 . The followings are the steps you can take to get on with your mother EXCEPT A. remembering your mother ' s age
B. sharing your roots and your childhood with your mother
C. having a sense of humor failure about your mother
D. managing yourself while managing your mother 21. What does the underlined word “them ” refer to in the first
paragraph?
A. projects. B . mothers. C. steps. D . people.
22. Which of the following is implied but not stated in the passage?
A. It will help you have a better relati on ship with your mother if you respect her opin io n.
B. You should follow a most useful piece of advice
— a sense of humor.
C. The key measure of man agi ng our mother is how we man age ourselves.
D. It is un reas on able to expect our mother to cha nge totally from the way she was brought up. 23. The main purpose of writing the text is ________ . A. to give information about how you think of your mother B. to improve the relationship with your mother
C. to keep a sense of humor about your mother all day long
D. to accept your mother — with all her failings 川.短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） I sent my baby to the supermarket this morning.

词，前面常常加不定冠词。
