Grandparents Answer a Call

As a third­generation native of Brownsville，Texas，Mildred Garza never planned to move away.Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children，she politely refused.Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms.Garza finally say yes.That was four years ago.Today all three generations regard the move as 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 adult children and grandchildren.Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing.Even the former President Obama's mother­in­law，Marian Robinson，has agreed to leave Chicago to help care for her granddaughters.According to a study by grandparents.com，83 percent of the people said Mrs.Robinson's decision will influence grandparents in the American family.Two­thirds 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 or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own，” says Christine Crosby，publisher of Grand，a magazine for grandparents.“We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them，especially when you're raising 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.

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇议论文。论述了现在祖辈和孙辈住在一起有利有弊，应该由每个人自己做出决定。

1．Why was Garza's move a success?

A．It strengthened her family ties.

B．It improved her living conditions.

C．It enabled her to make more friends.

D．It helped her know more new places.

A　[细节理解题。根据第一段中．..giving them a closer relationship...可知，Garza搬去和晚辈同住后，他们的关系更亲密了，这与A项“这加强了她的家庭关系”相吻合。]

2．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.

D　[推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句可知，三分之二的人认为更多的家庭将效仿奥巴马的家庭，由此可知它将成为一种趋势，故选D。]

3．What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s?

A．They were unsure of themselves.

B．They were eager to raise more children.

C．They wanted to live away from their parents.

D．They had little respect for their grandparents.

C　[细节理解题。根据第三段可知，在20世纪60年代，人们都有点儿狂野，但不能够很远或很快地远离家庭以证明自己可以独立，这与C项“他们想远离父母生活”相吻合。]

4．What does the author suggest 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.

A　[推理判断题。根据最后一段首句以及．..it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead.可知，作者建议(外)祖父(母)从自己的利益出发，做出决定，A项的表述与此相吻合。]

(2021·福建三明一中高一期中)An 80­year­old man was sitting on the sofa in his house chatting with his 45­year­old son.Suddenly a crow(乌鸦)landed on their window.

The father asked his son，“What is this？”

The son replied，“It is a crow.”

After a few minutes，the father asked his son for the second time，“What is this？”

The son said，“Father，I told you just now.It's a crow.”

After a little while，the father asked his son the same question for the third time，“What is this？”

This time，the son said to his father in a low and cold tone，“It's a crow，a crow.”

After a moment，the father yet again asked his son for the fourth time，“What is this？”

This time his son shouted at his father，“Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again？I have told you already，‘IT IS A CROW.’ Are you not able to understand this？”

A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary，which he had kept since his son was born.On opening a page，he asked his son to read that page.

Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow suddenly landed on the window edge.My son asked me 23 times what it was，and I replied to him 23 times that it was a crow.I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question.I didn't at all feel angry，but instead felt affection for my son.

If your parents reach old age，do not look at them as a burden，but speak to them gently，and be kind to them.From today say this aloud，“I want to see my parents happy forever.They have cared for me ever since I was a little child.They have always showered me with love.I will respect and take care of my old parents in the best way no matter how they behave.”

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。通过父子两人面对同一件事的不同态度，反映了父母对孩子无限的耐心和无私的爱，同时也提醒年轻人要尊重老人、体谅老人，不要嫌他们啰嗦，不要对他们的话感到不耐烦。

5．What does the writer mainly intend to do?

A．To tell us the function of a diary.

B．To call on us to love our parents.

C．To teach us what a crow is.

D．To introduce a pair of son and father.

B　[推理判断题。根据最后一段中第一句，如果你的父母老了，不要把他们当作负担，而是要温柔地和他们说话，对他们好，可以推断出作者主要想呼吁我们要爱我们的父母。]

6．What does the underlined word “affection” probably mean?

A．Puzzlement. B．Hate.

C．Worry.     D．Love.

D　[词义猜测题。根据上下文，每次他问我同样的问题，我都充满爱意地拥抱他。我一点儿也不生气，相反却感受到儿子的爱。此处but instead表示转折，故画线词和angry的意思相反，表示“喜爱”。]

7．We can infer that the father wrote that piece of diary at the age of ________．

A．eighty     B．three

C．thirty­eight     D．forty­five

C　[推理判断题。根据第一段中“An 80­year­old man was sitting on the sofa in his house chatting with his 45­year­old son.”及倒数第二段中“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow suddenly landed on the window edge.”可知，80－45＋3＝38，故父亲在38岁时写了那篇日记。]

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。介绍了几个消除父母和孩子之间代沟的办法，值得一试。
