2、as drinking a cup of tea and writing out his bill for the job.My wife said to me quietly, “Its his ninth cup of tea today.” But she said in a loud voice, “It is a beautiful table, dear, isnt it?”“I will decide about that when I see the bill, ” I read:One dining table, 10 November, 1989.Cost of wood:
3、 17.00Paint: 1.50Work: 8 hours (1 an hour) 8.00Total: 36.50When I was looking at the bill, John said, “Its been a fine day, hasnt it?

4、d more expensive! Dining tables will be 20 more expensive on November 30th, wont they, John?” John looked hard at me for half a minute. Was there a little smile in his two blue eyes? I gave his bill back to him.“If it isnt too much trouble, John,” I said, “Please add it up again and you can forget t
5、he date.”I paid him 26.50and he was happy to get it.21. Why did John talk about the weather when the writer was looking at the bill?_ A. Because he didnt want the writer to go through the bill carefully.B. Because it was really a fine day.C .Because he wanted the writer to check the bill carefully.D
6、. Because he wanted to tell the writer what the weather was like.22. Why did the writer say that dining table would be 20 more expensive on November 30th ?_ A.

8、ohn still wanted to get 36.50 for his work in the end.BParents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends. Is this a good thing? Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy, such as
9、pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.“I would never have said to my mom, Hey, the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like it?” says Ballmer. “There was just a complete gap in taste.”Music was not the only gulf. From clothing and ha
10、irstyles to activities and expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a genera
11、tion ago. Now they are comfortable and common. And parentchild activities, from shopping to sports, involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood. No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, “To my mother, my best friend.”But family experts warn that the new equali
12、ty can also result in less respect for parents. “Theres still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening,” says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College. “In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents.
13、”Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say.“My parents were on the before side of that change,
14、 but todays parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the after side,” explains Mr. Ballmer. “Its not something easily accomplished by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.”24. The underlined word “gulf
15、” in Para.3 most probably means _.A. Interest B. distance C. difference D. separation.25. Which of the following shows that the generation gap is disappearing?A. Parents help their children develop interests in more activities.3B. Parents put more trust in their childrens abilities.C. Parents and ch
16、ildren talk more about sex and drugs.D. Parents share more interests with their children.26. By saying “todays parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the after side.” the author means that todays parents _.A. follow the trend of the change.B. can set a limit to the change.C. fail to take the change seri
17、ously.D. have little difficulty adjusting to the change.27. The purpose of the passage is to _.A. describe the difficulties todays parents have met with.B. discuss the development of the parent-child relationship.C. suggest the ways to handle the parent-child relationship.D. compare todays parent-ch
