     Our "Mommy and Me" time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor
and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven
children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. "I wish I could take
one of my children out alone," said Christie.
     Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out,
I'll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I'll take
someone out.
     The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of "Mommy and Me"
time. Christie's daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other
children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly.
Christie looked refreshed and happy. "She's like a different child when there's
no one else around," Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to
herself, McKenzie didn't have to make an effort to gain attention.
     Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered
something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example,
I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds
my hand frequently. My stuttering(口吃的)son, Tom, doesn't stutter once
during our activities since he doesn't have to struggle for a chance to speak.
And the other son, Sam, who's always a follower when around other children,
shines as a leader during our times together.
     The "Mommy and Me" time allows us to be simply alone and away with
each child ---talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain.
Every child deserves(应得到)to be an only child at least once in a while.
1. What is the text mainly about?
A. The experience of the only child being with mother.
B. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time.
C. The happy life of two families.
D. The basic needs of children.
2. Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were _____________.
A. happy
B. curious
C. regretful
D. friendly
3. What is one of the changes the author finds in her children?
A. The daughter acts like a leader.
B. Sam holds her hand more often.
C. The boys become better followers.
D. Tom has less difficulty in speaking.
4. The author seems to believe that ___________.
A. having brothers and sisters is fun
B. it's tiring to look after three children
C. every child needs parents' full attention
D. parents should watch others' children

     Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near
my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned
lessons from his experiences. He always told me, "You should have goals like climbing the mountain."
Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn't have enough time to spend together
because my father was always busy. I really got a lot from mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with
my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience.
     Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old.
During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds' singing; but as time
passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I want to quit climbing. In fact, I hated it at that moment, but my
father said to me,"You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can't see it before
you reach the top. Only there at the top, can you see all of the nice things, just like in life." 
     At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got new hope and confidence.
I found myself standing at the top of the mountain. And there, I could see the whole of the sky, which was as
clear as crystal (水晶).
1. The passage tells us that mountain-climbing was ______ for Father and Son.
A. hard
B. enjoyable
C. painful
D. comfortable
2.  The word"quit" in the passage means "______".
A. carry on
B. put off
C. give up
D. pick up
3. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the father's words in the second paragraph?
A. ou will get all you need at the top of the mountain.
B. The sky is always as clear as crystal.
C. You can find life is full of nice things.
D. Never give up half-way.
4. We can infer (推断) from the last paragraph that ______.
A. the writer was very successful in his life
B. the writer reached the top of the mountain.
C. though the writer was young, he could understand his father.
D. the writer used to stop half-way when he climbed the mountain.
5. The best title for the passage is "______".
A. Reaching the Top of the mountain
B. Standing at the Top of the Mountain
C. Conversations between Father and Son
D. How to Get to the Top of the Mountain
