I strongly believe that understanding is more important than love, especially when it comes to parenting and intimate relationships. As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other. The painful reality is that love is just not enough. I"ll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to better understand. I hope I"ll continue my work to understand them. The willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy, but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water. Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships. As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy, is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper—and healthier—our love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, than love.From the passage we know that （）.
- A、the author complains about her parents" being too understanding
- B、the author has been studying marriages for more than 20 years
- C、people divorced mainly because they didn"t love each other
- D、some people divorced because they couldn"t understand each other

第4题：
I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world. Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother."But the desk," she'd said again, "it's for Elizaheth."
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in acdou. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened.And a gulf opened between us. I was "too emotional". But she lived "on the surface".
As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she ebose that she did forgive me. I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came. My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace-it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and l could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside--a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times. Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
The writer began to love her mother's deskA.after mother died
B.before she became a writer
C.when she was a child
D.when mother gave it to her答案：C解析：根据全文第一句I veloved my mother's desk sincel was just tall enoughto see above thetop of it as mother sat doing letters．”可知，作者当时还是个小菝子，故选C。 -
第5题：
Years ago,a cigarette commercial asked if you were smoking more,but enjoying it less．That describes the way many of us live today．We are doing more,but enjoying it less．And when that doesn't work,we get the problem．In our extremely hurried search for satisfaction,we try stuffing still more into our days,never realizing that we are taking the wrong approach.
The truth is simple;so simple it is hard to believe．Satisfaction lies with less,not with more．Yet,we pursue the myth that this thing,or that activity,will somehow provide the satisfaction we so desperately seek.
Arthur Lindman,in his very effective book,"The Harried Leisure Class,"described the uselessness of pursuing more．His research focused on what people did with their leisure time．He found that as income rose,people bought more things to occupy their leisure time．But,ironically,the more things they bought,the less they valued any one of them．Carried to an extreme,he predicted massive boredom in the midst of tremendous variety．That was more than twenty years ago,and his prediction seems more accurate every year.
Lindman of course,is not the first to discover this．The writer of Ecclesiastes expressed the same thought thousands of years ago．It is better,he wrote,to have less,but enjoy it more.
If you would like to enjoy life more,I challenge you to experiment with me．How could you simplify your life?What could you drop?What could you do without?What could you stop pursuing?What few things could you concentrate on?
The more I learn,the more I realize that fullness of life does not depend on things．The more I give up,the more I seem to gain．But words will never convince you．You must try it for yourself．
We can make our life happier if we__.A.get rid of useless things
B.buy more things
C.sell things we do not need
D.give up more答案：D解析：通篇都在讲我们做得越多、获得的越多，我们就越不满足。所以应当学会放弃。 -

Starting in elementary school, my mom 19 me to write notes to my grandma who lived a few hours away. Grandma 20 wrote back. The excitement I felt when I looked in the 21 and saw a letter in my grandma′s shaky letters never 22 . By studying her handwriting, I could almost 23 how she′ d been feeling that day. Those notes are now treasures.
The words, "You make me 24 ," from my dad when I got my first prize and birthday notes from friends are all lifelines I can′ t bear to 25 .
However, my greatest lifelines came from my daughter, Avery. One day I put a yellow note on her 26 not realizing there was a blank one 27 to it. When I cleaned out her lunch box that night, the number of my notes had 28 . I cried when I saw she′d written the same thing as me.
"I love you. Avery."
I reached up and stuck my daughter′ s 29 on the cabinet where the sandwich bread was stored as a source of daily 30 . Then later another in my clothes closet where I got 31 , and another on the bathroom mirror where I brushed my 32 .
"I love you. I will .love you for my whole life."
Until today my daughter still 33 posts lifelines to me. Now they are not so much for encouragement 34 they are reminders--reminders that time is flying.
Because the untraditional spelling has become 35 , letters are no longer gigantic, but rather small and dainty (优美的). But the love, the love is still there.
