BThe sun was slipping down through the trees and it was time to go home. Time was running out. His mother would look at him and she would know. She always knew. A hot tea
17、r ran down his cheek. She trusted him. This was the first year she had left him alone for three hours between school and the time she got home from work. She had to work to buy his clothes and to pay for their food and for a place to live. He remembered the nice way she said, “You are a little man n
18、ow, Joy.” It made him sad when his mothers words came back to him. She trusted him.Remembering this, he felt as if someone had stuck a sharp stick into his side. Her trust in him was all he could think about now. It drove everything else from his mind. “She trusted me.” He kept saying to himself. “S
19、he trusted me.” This was most important. Next to this, the pipe and its magic power meant nothing.Joy looked at the long shadows coming toward him. He now knew what he had to do. And he was in a hurry to get it done. When he took the pipe, he left the store with slow unsure steps. Now his feet were
20、quick, decisive, taking him straight back to the store like an arrow. He was out of breath when he reached the store.Mr. Dow was just inside the door. The big man smiled. Joy wished he had not. Somehow, a bad friendly smile made it more difficult for Joy to do what he wanted to do. Joy was lost for
21、a moment. His feet felt heavy. Suddenly, blindly, he held out the pipe. His voice struggled to come out from deep inside of the painful chest.“Mr. Dow,” he said at last, “I didnt mean to take it.”“Thanks, Joy.” Mr. Dow said as he gently took the pipe from the boys hand. “How about staying around and

24、est title for the text? A. An Interesting Pipe B. A Powerful Smile C. Unconditional Love D. Magic Trust CThere is an old Chinese proverb that states “One generation plants the trees; another gets the shade”, and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. The relationship between a mother a
25、nd daughter is sometimes confusing. If close, the relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include the hierarchy (等级) and unconditional love, which preclude mothers
26、 and daughters from being best friends.Marina, 27 years old, says, “I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldnt consider her my best friend. Best friends dont pay for your wedding. Best friends dont remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friends dont tell you how w
27、ise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesnt mean that the mother and daughter relationship cant be very close and satisfying.While some adult relationships are still troubled, many find them to be extremely rewarding. This generation of mothers and adult
28、 daughters has a lot in common which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the
29、experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together.Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if they arent speaking for some unfortunate reason. The mother and child rel
30、ationship is still closer than any other. There is not an equal relationship. Daughters should not feel responsible for their mothers emotional wellbeing. It isnt that they dont care deeply about their mothers. Its just that they shouldnt be burdened with their mothers wellbeing.The mother and daugh
31、ter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. Mother always “trumps” friends.28. The underlined word “preclude” in Paragraph 1
32、probably means “_”. A. differ B. prevent C. benefit D. change29. What do we know from the passage?A. The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.B. A mothers love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.C. The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends friendship.D. Marina has
