He was only three when he flooded the kitchen.His mother, Angela Brown, is in despair. She is very busy looking after her new baby

25、, a little girl called Laura, as well as Daniel. She told us,“ Daniel is so full of curiosity.”At that moment, we hear a huge crash and then silence. We go upstairs and find Daniel crawli ng out of a wardrobe（衣櫥）he has pulled over onto the floors, with a book in his hand.“Itsfor you, Mum,”he says an

26、d looks up at his mum and smiles. Seven-year-old Daniel has a lovely face. He has golden hair, big brown eyes, and a friendly smile. I have to admit that Daniel doesntlook like a naughty boy.Angela told me all about it,“Once I found him as he was about to put Jasper in the washing machine.” Jasper,

27、she explained, is the Brownsdog. “When I asked him why, he said that he thought Jasper was dirty! It samazing how one little boy can cause so much trouble. Another time he cut off all the hair of the little girl next door. She was going to attend her sisters wedding and the neighbors havent spoken t

28、o us since.Angela told me about Daniel smost expensive crime “I was about to do the washing up when the baby started crying. Daniel decided to help and filled the kitchen sink with water. When I came in the water was already flooding the kitchen and was about to flood the hall. The carpet was ruined

29、 and had to be replaced. I hope things will get better as he gets older”.Amazingly, Daniel is quite well behaved in school. This may be because he is rarely bored. Meanwhile he continues to be the naughtiest little boy in England. Will his baby sister Laura grow up to be the naughtiest little girl?W

30、hat did Daniel do while his mother was talking to the author?He drove away the family car. B. He cut off the hair of the girl next door.C. He flooded the kitchen. D. He fell to the floor with the wardrobe.Why was Daniel going to put the dog in the washing machine?He meant to clean the dog.He wanted

31、to punished the dogHe intended to make trouble.He wished to draw his mothers attention.It can be inferred from the passage that _.the mother spoiled the boy.the boy found school life interestingthe mother lost hope in the boy.the boy had no freedom at home.BI had an experie nee some years ago, which

32、 taught me somethi ng about the ways in which people make a bad situati on worse by blam ing themselves. One Janu ary, I had to hold two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my com muni ty. Both had died “ full of years” as the Bible would say. Their homes happe ned to be n ear each

33、other, so I paid con dole nee（吊唁言）calls on the two families on the same after noon.At the first home, the son of the deceased woman said to me, “ If only I sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today Itmy fault that she died ” At the sec ond home, the

34、 sonof the other deceased woma n said, “ If only I had nin sisted on my mother sgo ing to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airpla ne ride, the sudde n cha nge of climate, was more than she could take. Ifemy fault that shedead”You see that any time there is a death, the survivors will fee

35、l guilty. Because the course of acti on they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course keep ing Mother at home, putt ing off the operationwould have tur ned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?There seem to be two elements involved in our willingness to fee

36、l guilty. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reas on for everythi ng that happe ns. That leads us to find patter ns and conn ecti ons both where they really exist and where they exist only in our min ds.The second elemen

37、t is the view that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happe n. It seems to be a short step from believ ing that every eve nt has a cause to believ ing that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeli ng may lie in our childhood.A baby comes to thi nk that the w

38、orld exists to meet his n eeds, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to his tasks. He cries, and some one comes to atte nd to him. When he is hun gry, people feed him, and whe n he is wet, people cha nge him. Very ofte n, we do not c

39、ompletely outgrow that childish view that our wishes cause things to happe n.What is said about the two deceased elderly women?They lived out a natural life.They died of exhaustion after the long plane ride.They werent used to the change in weather.They died due to lack of care by family members.The

40、 author had to conduct the two womens funerals probably because.he wanted to comfort the two familieshe was an official from the communityhe had great pity for the deceasedhe was minister of the local churchPeople feel guilty for the death of their loved ones because .they couldnt a better way to ex

41、press their sorrow.they believed that they were responsiblethey had neglected the natural course of eventsthey didnt know things often turn in the opposite directionAccording to the passage, the underlined part in paragraph 4 probably means that A. everything in the world is predeterminedthe world c

Life and death is an unsolved mysteryEvery story should have a happy endingNever feel guilty all the time because not every disa
