I remember back to my 7th year in school.In my first P．E.class，the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball.I didn't do either well.He later informed me that I was “not athletic”． The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years.When I started running in my 30s，I realized running was a battle against myself，not about competition or whether or not I was athletic.It was all about the battle against my own body and mind.A test of wills! The night before my marathon，I dreamt that I couldn't even find the finish line.I woke up sweating and nervous，but ready to prove something to myself. Shortly after crossing the start line，my shoe laces(鞋带)became untied.So I stopped to readjust.Not the start I wanted! At mile 3，I passed a sign：“GO FOR IT，RUNNERS！” By mile 17，I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly.Despite the pain，I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again. By mile 21，I was starving! As I approached mile 23，I could see my wife waving a sign.She is my biggest fan.She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a．m.or questioned my expenses on running. I was one of the final runners to finish.But I finished！And I got a medal.In fact，I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had. Determined to be myself，move forward，free of shame and worldly labels (世俗标签)，I can now call myself a “marathon winner”． [语篇解读]　本文是一篇故事类文章。作者记叙了没有运动天赋的他，在20多岁才开始长跑，但是一次在跑马拉松比赛前夕踝关节受伤，但他坚持不懈，最终实现了自我的故事。 4．A month before the marathon，the author ． A．was well trained B．felt scared C．made up his mind to run D．lost hope 解析　细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Yet，I was determined to go ahead”可知，作者在马拉松前一个月下定决心要参加马拉松比赛。故选C。 答案　C 5．Why did the author mention the P．E.class in his 7th year?

PRAISE：You could ask your child to say something that happened at school that is true.When your child obeys，praise him enthusiastically.Be specific： 3 and give your child a hug or a high five.Aim for one or two interactions (互动)like this a day.If you happen to “catch” your child in a lie，say something like，“That is not true and could get you in trouble outside of the home.” MODEL：Explicitly tell the truth.This could be about something that happened when you were a child or something that happened during the day.It need not be dramatic.Another option is to play a game at dinner.Each person tells one thing that was true that day.Again，give a little praise to the child who normally lies if she plays along. DECREASE PUNISHMENT AND MORALIZING：They are unlikely to change behavior or develop the conduct you want. 4 Rather，use very mild punishment (light scolding，short loss of privilege，a brief time-out).More severe punishments (shouting，taking away something for a week，hitting)are not more effective in actually changing the frequency of lying. 5 Usually they can be dropped by then.It is unlikely that lying will be completely removed，but with the right encouragement，it can be dramatically lessened. A．It is not what that is，but about practice. B．As ways of changing behavior，these are ineffective. C．That does not mean ignoring，lying or letting it go. D．“That was great！You told me what happened just like I asked.Wow！” E．Try these procedures for two to three weeks and see where you are. F．“You did a good job，but what you said was not what I'd like to know！” G．Parents do this out of love，but for some children，lying can become a problem. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇议论文。让你的孩子停止撒谎是具有挑战性的，孩子的撒谎有很多原因，不应该一味惩罚孩子。本文介绍了由研究支持的三个更好地解决方法。 1．解析　根据上文提示Most parents add to that with tales about the lives and activities of Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy，or to lessen fears.(大多数父母都是用关于圣诞老人或牙仙的生活和活动的故事来补充的，或者是减轻恐惧。)承接上文，G项“Parents do this out of love，but for some children，lying can become a problem.”(父母这样做是出于爱，但对一些孩子来说，撒谎会成为一个问题。)切题。G项中的Parents do this与上文中的Most parents add to that吻合。 答案　G 2．解析　根据上文提示The most common reactions to children who lie are explaining why it is wrong and punishment，故B项指出上文那些解释都是无效的，下面有更好的方式。 答案　B 3．解析　根据上文提示When your child obeys，praise him enthusiastically.(当你的孩子顺从时，热情地夸赞他。)以及下文提示give your child a hug or a high five.(给你的孩子一个拥抱或者一个击掌。)，D项“That was great！You told me what happened just like I asked.Wow！”(那是太好了！你告诉我发生了什么，就像我问的那样。)就是给孩子的表扬或夸赞。故选D。 答案　D 4．解析　根据上文提示They are unlikely to change behavior or develop the conduct you want.(他们不太可能改变或发展你想要的行为。)，以及下文Rather，use very mild punishment (light scolding，short loss of privilege，a brief time-out).相反，使用非常温和的惩罚(轻斥责，短暂的特权丧失，短暂的暂停)，C项“That does not mean ignoring，lying or letting it go.”(这并不意味着忽视、说谎或放弃。)承上启下，故选C。 答案　C 5．解析　上文介绍了由研究支持的三个更好地解决孩子撒谎的方法。承接上文内容，E项“Try these procedures for two to three weeks and see where you are.”(试试这些程序两到三周，看看你会如何。)切题。同时该项中的for two to three weeks与下文Usually they can be dropped by then.(通常他们可以在那时候被抛弃。)中的by then对应。 答案　E 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
