It was always thought that Treasure Island was the product of Robert Louis Stevenson’s imagination. 36 , recent research has found the true story of this exciting work. Stevenson, a Scotsman, had lived 37 for many years. In 1881he returned to Scotland for a 38 .With him were his American wife Fanny and his son 39 . Each morning Stevenson would take them out for a long 40 over the hills. They had been 41 this for several days before the weather suddenly took a turn for the worse.

Robert suddenly 47 something of an adventure story in the boy’s 48 .While the rain was pouring, Robert sat down by the fire to write a story. He would make the 49 a twelve-year-old boy, just like Lloyd. But who would be the pirate(海盗)？

Robert had a good friend named Henley, who walked around with the 50 of a wooden leg. Robert had always wanted to 51 such a man in a story. 52 Long John Silver, the pirate with a wooden leg, was 53 .

In the depth of my memory, many things I did with my father still live. These things have come to represent, in fact, what I call 36 and love.

I don’t remember my father ever getting into swimming pool. But he did 37 the water. Any kind of 38 ride seemed to give him pleasure. 39 he loved to fish; sometimes he took me along.

But I never really liked being on the water, the way my father did. I liked being 40 the water, moving through it, 41 it all around me. I was not a strong 42 , or one who learned to swi m early, for I had my 43 . But I loved being in the swimming pool close to my father’s office and 44 those summer days with my father, who 45 come by on a break. I needed him to see what I could do. My father would stand there in his suit, the 46 person not in swimsuit.

After swimming, I would go 47 his office and sit on the wooden chair in front of his big desk, where he let me 48 anything I found in his top desk drawer(抽屉). Sometimes, if I was left alone at his desk 49 he worked in the lab, an assistant or a student might come in and tell me perhaps I shouldn’t be playing with his 50 . But my father always 51 and said easily, “ Oh, no, it’s 52 .” Sometimes he hande d me coins and told me to get 53 an ice cream…

A poet once said, “We look at life once, in childhood; the rest is 54 .” And I think it is not only what we “look at once, in childhood” that determines our memories, but 55 , in that childhood, looks at us.

强化技能限时训练(十四) 阅读理解(主旨大意类)+阅读填句 (限时35分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 ( A ) 【社会文化类】 I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval,he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way. Several weeks ago,I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down,telling him that he would concentrate better.He sat but seconds later,as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it,he got up again. I was getting frustrated,but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up. Could he be more absorbed while standing up? This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet,calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the will power to study hard,get good grades and become someone important in life. Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality qualities,and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents,throughout their growing years and beyond that,we need to be our kids’ best cheerleaders,guiding them and helping them find their way. I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously,he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids’ ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesn’t mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being personal and unique.It makes us free and happy and that’s just the way I want my kids to live their own lives. 1.Time and again the author got his son seated in order to make him . A. work fast B. go polite C. stay relaxed D. keep attentive 2.The underlined “it” (in the first paragraph) probably refers to . A. his son’s doing better while standing up B. his failure in keeping his son under control C. his own experience as a school boy D. his disappointment with his active child 3.By this passage,the author attempts to tell other parents to . A. correct their kids’ manners from the early ages B. respect and trust their kids’ ways of behaviors C. develop a good relationship with their children D. guarantee their children’s freedom at home 4.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?( ) A. Parental help with teens’ study B. Adult influence on teen growth C. Kids’ success in their own styles D. Friendship between generations
