    Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a necessary part of the learning process. But all too often we __41__ to our children either by words or by actions that failure is something to be ashamed of, that nothing but top performance meets our __42__.

    Donnie was my youngest student. His fear of failure kept him from classroom games that other children played excitedly. He __43__ answered questions―he might be wrong. I tried my best to build his self-confidence. But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included, __44__ her. But even enthusiastic, loving Mary was __45__ by this little boy who feared he might make a mistake.

    Then one morning we were working math problems. I left the children with Mary. But when I returned, Donnie was in tears. He’d missed the third problem. Mary looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face __46__. From the desk we shared, she got a canister(小筒) filled with pencils. She removed the pencils and placed them on his desk. “See these pencils, Donnie?” she said, “They belong to Mrs Lindstrom and me. See how the erasers are worn? That’s because we make __47__ too. But we erase the mistakes and try again.” She kissed him and continued, “I’ll leave one of these pencils on your desk so you’ll remember that everybody makes mistakes, even teachers.” Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and just a glimmer of a smile.

    The pencil became Donnie’s prized possession. That, together with Mary Anne’s __48__ encouragement and praise for even Donnie’s small successes, __49__ persuaded him that it’s all right to make mistakes―as long as you erase them and try again.

    Maggie was very glad that James was not a frequent visitor to the house. So far as the children were concerned, they had a mystery about him that stirred their imagination. He stirred Maggie’s anger, however, so that she often said to her husband, “It’s mercy that brother of yours doesn’t come oftener.”

    In fact James came once a year, unexpectedly, around eight o’clock in the evening, and he stayed for six hours of close discussion with his brother. His arrival was a signal to the children that their bedtime would be delayed. Not that he ever spoke to them or played with them. He took no notice of them, as if he was unable to see children, at least until the time came for him to go. Instead, after his first greeting and a careless kiss, James took no notice of Maggie either, except to add, “You’ll be getting on with the supper, Maggie.” Such was his regard for her.

    Maggie paid him back in her own way. She kept the children up, the four of them, to keep her company, she said, but of course they sang and made a noise and broke the endless sound of James’s voice. Very late, they dropped off to sleep in their chairs. Then, when James was about to go, Maggie woke them up and so more or less forced him to part with four shillings before he left. That gave her some satisfaction, for James, though rich, was mean. He always went home by the last train, just after two o’clock.

    Maggie’s children secretly stared at their uncle. They could not forget that he had, in their mother’s words, “lost two wives and taken a third, ” They wondered about those two unfortunate lost ladies. They asked each other what their fate had been, and if neither could ever be found again. James never brought his third wife with him nor ever mentioned her. The children decided that he must be so frightened of losing her that he never allowed her outside the door.

    The underlined word “mercy” in the text most probably means _______.

    A. loss      B. wonder

    C. lucky thing D. terrible thing

    Maggie never prepared anything special for James because _______.

    A. he was a man difficult to please

    B. she never knew when he was coming

    C. she was too busy looking after her children

    D. he never stayed long enough for a meal

    What do we know about James’ behavior?

    A. He was a kind man, with love for the family.

    B. He was generous, especially towards his brother.

    C. He was anxious to please the family, especially the kids.

    D. He was rude to his sister-in-law.

    Maggie felt pleased when _______.

    A. she paid James the money that she owed him

    B. James gave some money to the children

    C. she had to wake James up to catch his train

    D. James thanked her for the nice supper

    The children did not realize that two of James’ wives _______.

    A. had been dead    B. suffered from loss of memory

    C. had run away from him    D. might appear again one day

    Do you remember the game “Telephone”? A message gets passed from person to person, and everyone laughs at how distorted(曲解) it becomes. As a game, telephone can be fun. In real life, sending messages through third parties fouls things up. It is important for family members who have “business” with other family members to take it up directly.

           When tension arises in a relationship between two people, a frequent way of dealing with this is to send messages through a third person. Family doctors refer to the process as ‘triangulation”. Following a quarrel, a mother may say to her son, “Tell your father to pass the salt”, which may be answered by, “Tell your mother to get her own salt.” In many long cases of triangulation, the middleman becomes severely disturbed.

           Two years ago, Ruth and Ralph Gordon brought their 17-year-old daughter for treatment. Lucille was not doing well in school, using drugs heavily. When I began to work with her, she was uncommunicative and aggressive. After some time, however, she opened up and told me her parents rarely talked to each other, but both used her as a middleman. Mrs. Gordon was sexually unsatisfied and suggested to Lucille that she ask her father to go for marriage advice. Mr. Gordon told Lucille that he was seeing another woman, and he urged Lucille to speak to her mother about improving her behaviour. Caught in this confusing situation, Lucille became more and more troubled. It wasn’t until she refused to play middleman that she began to improve. When either parent began to send a message through her, she learned to say, “Tell him/her yourself!”

    You’ll find that when family members learn to dial each other directly, there’s rarely a busy signal or wrong number. With direct dialing, a sense of freshness is created.

    The underlined words “foul things up” in the 1st paragraph means ________.

    A. create things  B. improve things  C. remove things  D. ruin things

    “Triangulation” in the 2nd paragraph refers to _________.

    A. the process of sending messages through a 3rd person

    B. the middleman who becomes severely disturbed

    C. the tension in a relationship between 2 people

    D. the argument between a mother and a father

    Through the example of Lucille and her parents, the writer hopes to tell the readers that _______.

    A. family members should learn to get their messages across directly

    B. parents should send their children taking drugs for treatment

    C. children can hardly get used to their parents’ troubles

    D. children should refuse the requests of their parents

    Fred Michel is one of 7.2 million Americans who moonlight. Once a week, after his day job as medical director of a mental health center, the 40-year-old psychiatrist heads to a part-time job at a treatment center for young people. Twice a month, he travels three hours to another teenage treatment center.

    Last year, 5.4 percent of the American workforce held second jobs, according to the US Labor Department, and that looks set to increase this year.

    Many workers like the safety that moonlighting provides, says Carl Hausman , the writer of “Moonlighting: 148 Great Ways to Make Money to the Side”.

    The information from the US Labor Department shows that 40 percent of US moonlighters take a second job to meet household expenses or pay off debts. Others save money or buy some special things.

    People also take second jobs with an eye to the future -- wanting to try out a new field or gain experience.

    Michel started moonlighting when medical systems were unstable. He wanted to make sure he wasn’t tied to one system that ended up failing.

    Just as the purposes for moonlighting vary, the moonlighters cross all ages and racial groups. And they work in a variety of industries -- no longer just service, office and sales jobs.

    “Technology just affects your ability to make money,” Hausman says. “That makes a frequent change in moonlighting.”

    As its name means, moonlighting still occurs mostly at night. And that results in some pressures. Chief among them is time.

    Full-time employers could misunderstand, too. Some companies do not allow after-hour work because they fear it will affect their employees’ 9-to-5 performance.

    “The primary employer is saying, ‘Wait, I’m paying you for the sharp, fresh, energetic you,’” says Tom Gimbel, president and founder of LaSalle Staffing in Chicago. “If you’re burning yourself at both ends, it’s going to show.”

    Still, the good done to the moonlighters can be great. Besides extra income, moonlighters enjoy variety, freedom and chance to do something new. They may also find their part-time jobs strengthen what they do full time.

    Besides, “it’s fun,” Michel says. Not only do his part-time jobs offer a chance to network, stretch his professional skills and make more money, but they also give him the variety he wouldn’t find just in a full-time job.

    “It’s a way of pulling from the spice cabinet,” he says, “and offering a little variety throughout the day.”

    1.The reason why Fred Michel began to moonlight is that ________.

        A. he found it exciting to do a part-time job

        B. he needed to make ends meet with more money

        C. he feared he would lose his present job one day

        D. he felt more and more pressure from his employer

    2.Some companies don’t allow their workers to moonlight because they are afraid ________.

    A. their workers cannot do extra-hour work for them

        B. their workers will be too tired to try their best at work

        C. their workers will one day turn to some other different jobs

        D. their workers will not get to work and be off work on time 

    3.The underlined sentence “It’s a way of pulling from the spice cabinet.” in the last paragraph means ________.

        A. moonlighting gets you away from the job you don’t enjoy

        B. moonlighting offers you freedom to make extra money

        C. moonlighting strengthens your professional skills

        D. moonlighting brings you chances to do something different

    4.What is the article mainly about?

        A. The ways of moonlighting.           B. The reasons for moonlighting.

    C. The problems with moonlighting.      D. The kinds of people who moonlight.
