It took me time to learn how to live with my grown children when they come home. Having older kids,.especially those in university,means balancing their need for independence with maintaining order in the household.When my older son returned home after his first year,it was chaos-late-night kitchen messes,coming home at all hours,and sleeping all day.Our calm household was turned upside down,and frustration filled the air.That summer was tough,filled with conflicts and a messy kitchen.Neither of us understood the other's perspective,and we didn't handle it well. This past summer,however,I had a truly insightful conversation with my eldest.I was frustrated again,this time by his younger brother's similar behavior,and asked for advice.His response was surprisingly wise:"It's not all about you,Mom."He explained that his brother wasn't intentionally ignoring me-he was simply being a typical teenager,not doing what I asked had nothing to do with me. That conversation was a game-changer.I realized my children weren't plotting to upset me-they were just being themselves.It helped me change my approach.I decided to approach them with more kindness and patience,and set some simple, reasonable rules.For example,I offered them access to the family car in exchange for cleaning their rooms and bathroom. I also changed my reactions.I didn't get upset about a dirty pan or an unmade bed. Instead,I calmly reminded them of our agreements and even offered to help when necessary.Sometimes,I received hugs or a quick kiss on the cheek in return,and the atmosphere in the house grew lighter. I am grateful for that conversation.It taught me that parenting adult children means 4/8 learning when to let go.My sons continue to be my greatest teachers.As I enjoy my quieter life,free of school drop-offs and practices,I miss their energy but have learned that parenting,in its highest form,is sometimes the wise art of holding on by letting go. 41.What can be inferred about the author according to Paragraph 1? A.She no longer applies family rules on her sons. B.She intends to control her sons'campus lives. C..She values connection more than household order. D.She feels relieved to be free from parenting duties. 42.Why did the author feel frustrated after her older son returned home? A.They failed to bridge the communication gap B.He needed to demand respect in the household. C.Domestic chores created tension and frustration. D.He ignored the household's order for independence. 43.What was her eldest son's key message during their conversation? A.They deliberately ignored the family rules. B.Teenagers acted this way out of frustration. C.Their behavior wasn't a personal attack. D.Adults misread normal teenage behavior. 44.What does the "family car"represent in the author's new approach? A.A symbol of unconditional parental love. B.A shift from conflict to positive reward. C.A method to strengthen the house daily rules. D.A gesture of carrying out the agreement. 45.The passage can be seen as the author's reflections upon A.an experience of family conflict B.the pleasure of living alone C.the art of educating children D.a journey of personal growth 1/8 天津一中2025-2026-1高三年级英语学科四月考试卷 C Think about your habits with dogs.Do you send them to daycare,dress them up,and bring them on vacations?Do you talk to them like a baby?If so,you're not alone: research suggests our brains respond in the same way to pet dogs as they do to human children. Our brains were not always tuned this way.As we domesticated dogs,they evolved human-like social and cognitive abilities.They came to act and even look like babies,and we began to see them as such.Zachary Silver,director of the Animal Cognition Lab at Occidental College,isn't surprised:over thousands of years,people selected dogs for kindness,affection,and attentiveness to human signals. Evolutionary time explains present feelings.Alison LaCoss,a mother of three,felt an overwhelming desire to love them and protect her newborns-and later Shio and Babka,the dogs she adopted.A 2014 brain-imaging study of mothers viewing photos of their children and their dogs found significant overlap(重叠)：the amygdala(杏仁体)lit up,as did regions for reward,memory,social cognition,and facial processing.The women also reported similar pleasantness and excitement when looking at pictures of kids and dogs. Important differences remain.Certain midbrain regions responded more strongly to children,indicating the brain still recognizes species boundaries.LaCoss admits she does feel distinctly proud watching her kids reach milestones dogs never will,yet her desire to meet Shio and Babka's needs is just as intense.Silver argues that because dogs reliably generate these responses,the relationship for many people now equals the importance of a biological relative. Neurochemistry deepens the connection.Behaviors such as eye contact,play,and physical affection increase oxytocin (levels,which in turn reinforces the very behaviors that strengthen the bond.As one paper states dogs have"hijacked"the human caregiving pathway:when a dog gazes with "puppy eyes"or runs over when called, oxytocin rises.activating the caregiving system that evolved to protect babies and motivating us to nurture,comfort,and guard our companions. Domestication also shaped appearances and skills.Humans favored dogs that tracked our gaze,cooperated,and signaled with expressive faces.Modern dogs have 5 rounder heads,larger eyes,and eyebrow muscles that create sadness,curiosity,and joy- features humans find irresistible.They play like kids,think like toddlers,and appear vulnerable,inviting care.You don't need a scan to feel the bond is parental;for many, dogs are family.As LaCoss says,"My home isn't home without them." 46.Why does Zachary Silver consider dogs'evolution unsurprising? A.Dogs naturally developed speech comprehension B.Ifuman selection enhanced dogs'social abilities. C.Wolves transformed into companion animals D Biological evolution increased dogs'intelligence. 47.The author cited the 2014 brain-imaging study in paragraph 3 to A.contrast neural responses to children and dogs B.provide evidence for a shared caregiving system C.explain why dogs are better companions than other pets D.demonstrate the uniqueness of parental instincts 48.According to the passage,what is a key neurological difference in how humans respond to children and dogs? A Dogs lead to stronger reward system activity. B.Dogs produce weaker emotional brain responses. C.Children cause a stronger midbrain response. D.Children activate the amygdala more weakly. 49.What does the phrase "have hijacked the human caregiving pathway"suggest about dogs？ A.They have taken over human parenting duties. B.They have evolved to replace human children. C.They have influenced people through emotional signals. D.They have aroused humans'natural nurturing responses. 50.By saying "My home isn't home without them,"LaCoss aims to A.highlight dogs'irreplaceable emotional role B.describe dogs as bridges to family bonds C.reveal dogs'capacity to find real sympathy D.prove the necessity of keeping pets in families 5/8
