二、阅读理解（本题共10小题;每小题3分，共30分）

Memory likes to play tricks on us,taking us to places we once loved, but haven't seen in years. It was early morning，raining and cold. Something woke me.Two little feet bouncing（蹦跳）down the stairs. It was my 7-year-old grandson Henry on his way to the kitchen to "cook breakfast". I suddenly thought about cookies my grandmother baked in her wood stove（火炉）. They were light as air and sweet as a baby's smile. We'd cover them in butter and top them with jam that we made with blackberries that I picked myself. That's what life was like when I visited my grandmother on her farm-picking berries, milking cows, eating cookies, chasing fireflies..What more could a child ever want? I loved it.I especially loved those cookies. I wish I knew how she made them.

People usually believe that there'll always be time and opportunity to teach and learn all that they want to share and know.

I learned a lot from my grandmother.I learned how to read.I learned how to.sit in a swing（秋千）at the end of a day and just be content, But I never learned how to make cookies her way. I've made them according to various recipes, with varying success. They're not bad, but not half as good a hers were.My kids enjoyed eating them.They weren't crazy about the cookies, but they loved butter and jam.

I got out of bed and went downstairs to hug my grandchild and bake some cookies They weren't great cookies.But they were good enough. We covered them in butter and jam. Henry ate two and kept eyeing mine until gave him half. Maybe someday he'll say they were the best cookies ever

The memories we leave with our children and grandchildren and all of our loved ones-like the cookies we bake and the stories that will be told about us long after we

are gone-are never made with perfection. They're just made with love. Love makes everything better, even without butter and jam.

Lindy Tse will never forget the night her parents brought her back to the United States from Fujian province when she was 4 years old. She cried silently throughout the journey because she missed her grandma, who raised her in China.

Tse was a' satellite baby". Such babies are born in the US to Chinese immigrant （移民）parents and sent to China as little babies and raised by relatives-normally grandparents. When they are 5 or 6 they are then returned to the US to start school.

Parents do this for various reasons. Most parents of satellite babies often work long hours every day and can't afford child care, which costs from S11,700to $14,144 a year in New York.They also want to send their children to China for cultural reasons.

On her return, it took Tse a year before she spoke to her father.Now 17, she said,"I think it was because we had both lost four years that could have been important to our relationship." She speaks only English now and has forgotten most of her early childhood spent in a small village with her grandmother. She is still not close to her parents.I just don't know how to show my feelings to them,"

she said with a shrug（耸肩）.

The term "satellite babies"was invented by Yvonne Bohr，a clinical psychologist （临床心理学家）at York University in Toronto，Canada，who has been studying such separations（分离）since 2006. "Babies are often sent away at around the time they have just become fond of their parents.As a result, they may experience great pain and sorrow during this separation," Bohr said. "When they return, the parents

in turn may expect the children to be very happy to be home, often not understanding that for the child, this isn't home,"she said.

Research suggests that this way of raising a child can affect a child's environment, which can lead to depression, anxiety and misbehavior at school. Studies show that the emotional shock and pain experienced by both children and parents can last a lifetime.
