Remembering My GrandparentsWhen memory began for me, my grandfather was past sixty -- a

Remembering My Grandparents

When memory began for me, my grandfather was past sixty -- a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray. He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip. Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped On his nose.The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature. The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humor nor his love of a joke. Everywhere he went, "Gramp" made friends easily. At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life. I soon learned that he hated to give orders, but that when he had to, he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions.One July morning, as he was leaving to go to the cornfield, he said, "Edwin, you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do that." Then he drove away with his horses.The day passed, and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes. Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field. Gramp, dusty and tired, led the horses to get their drink."How many bags of potatoes were there?" Gramp inquired."I don't know."

"How many potatoes did you pick up?"

"I didn't pick any."

"Not any! Why not?"

"You said I could pick them up if I wanted to. You didn't say I had to."

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget, when Gramp said I could if I wanted to, he meant that I should want to.My grandmother ("Gram") worked hard all day, washing clothes, cleaning the house, making butter, and even working in the field when help was scarce. In the evening, though, she was not too tired to read books from the community library. For more than forty years Gram read aloud to Gramp almost every evening. In this way she and Gramp learned about all the great battles of history and became familiar with the works of great authors and the lives of famous men.Gram hated cruelty and injustice. The injustices of history, even those of a thousand years before, angered her as much as the injustices of her own day.She also had a deep love of beauty. When she was almost seventy-five, and had gone to live with one of her daughters, she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because, as she said, the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure. The birds, the flowers, the clouds -- all that was beautiful around her -- pleased her. She was like the father of the French painter, Millet, who used to gather grass and show it to his son, saying, "See how beautiful this is!"

In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value. The softer virtues are considered unnecessary. Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable, even for a moment, to forget the business of preserving their lives. Only unusual people, like my grandparents, manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle.Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth.

第9题

A good hearing memory will help your child do better in school. Your child's hearing abili
ty is normal. Yet, he may seem to be very poor at remembering and understanding what he's heard at school.

Why should this be? It's because he's not using his heating ability to help him remember and understand what he's been taught.

Some children get into the habit of learning and remembering things by what they hear. They've got good hearing memories. Other children find it easier to learn and remember things by what they see. They've got good seeing memories. Some children have equally good ability at both seeing and hearing in learning things. Others, less fortunate, seem to have poor hearing and seeing-memories. Most children, I'd say, unknowingly prefer one method over the other for learning and remembering.

But this favoring of one sense over the other is a bad habit and deprives (使......不能) the child of the full use of his natural senses. Mrs. Alien was clearly incredulous when I told her there was nothing wrong with her son's heating. "But he never seems to really understand what he hears, that's what his teachers tell me," she said.

"My psychological examination of William shows he's weak in his hearing memory," I said, "but he has perfectly normal intelligence and can learn in school."

"Our family doctor examined William and he says the boy's hearing was all right. So, that proves you're right on that point," admitted Mrs. Alien. "So how can we help him? My husband and I will do anything you say, Dr. Dursteln."

"You can do a lot to improve William's hearing memory, but it'll take time. You must be patient and not expect results immediately." I cautioned.

I suggested a detailed program for the parents to use at home. I told Mrs. Alien to come back and see me every two weeks so that I could guide her in any problem she had in using my program.

Those who have poor hearing memories______.

A.cannot hear sounds clearly

B.are poor at remembering and understanding what they have learned

C.are poor at learning things by what they have heard

D.have the habit of learning things by what they have heard of

听力原文:W: You went to the Grand Concert Hall yesterday?

M: Yes. It was really fantastic.

W: You are crazy about music, aren't you?

M: Yes, I am. It is always my favorite.

W: What type of music do you like most?

M: I enjoy listening to all kinds of music—classical, jazz, rock and roll...but my favorite is pop music.

W: I like pop music, too. But my favorite is still country music.

M: Country music? Then you must know John Denver and his songs.

W: That's right. I'm familiar with all his songs. I like "Country road takes me home" most. Unfortunately, my cassette-tape recorder broke down the other day.

M: Oh, have you thought of buying a new one? Or buying a CD player instead?

W: I've no idea. I don't know which I should choose.

M: A Walkman is easier to carry, but the quality of the sound is not as good as that of a CD player. A cassette often produces annoying "hiss" sounds while playing. This is the reason why I myself chose a CD.

W: I have a question. Nowadays, many digital products like MP3 and MP4 have appeared on the market. Will they replace CDs completely and make them outdated?

M: It is hard to say. You'd better find more information about all these products before making a final decision.

(20)

A.Jazz.

B.Pop music.

C.Classical music.

D.Country music.
