24、Recently, I happened to hear a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport as the daughter prepared to leave.

They hugged and the mother said “I love you and I wish you enough.” They kissed and the daughter left.

The mother walked over to the window where I sat. Standing there, I could see she was going to cry. I tried not to disturb her but she welcomed me by asking “Have you ever said goodbye to someone knowing it would be forever?”

“Yes,” I replied. “But may I know why this is the final goodbye?”

“I am ill and she lives so far away. It’s highly possible that the next trip back will be for my funeral(葬礼)” she said.

“When you were saying goodbye, I heard you say ‘I wish you enough’. May I ask what that means?”

“That’s a wish that has been handed down from past generations. My parents used to say it to everyone.” She paused for a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail and she smiled even more.

“When we say ‘I wish you enough’, we want the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to be with them”. Then turning to me, she shared the following:

“I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.

“I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.”

26、   Parents of very young children know this：You catch your child in the act of stealing the cookie—the evidence（证据）of candy written on his or her face. However, the kid often gives a denial, "I didn't do it!"

Learning to tell the truth, even at the risk of punishment, is an important part of moral（道德）development, and new research suggests it can take seven or more years for kids to get there.

Early in 2017 Professor Craig E. Smith published a study. He and his workmates chose 48 children between four and nine years of age. They told the kids a story about a boy or girl doing something wrong，such as taking a classmate's toy or candy, and then either lying about the wrongdoing to a parent or confessing（承认错误） it. In each case, they asked the children, "How would the child feel? How would the mother feel?"

The children's answers were generally divided according to age, which is in agreement with the above research, showing a gradual growth of moral understanding in early childhood. More of the four-to-five-year-olds thought the child in the story would feel better keeping the stolen candy, lying and getting unpunished. They imagined the parent in the study would be angry with the child who confessed. However, the seven-to-nine-year-olds were more likely to think the child would feel better confessing the wrongdoing and that the parent would have positive（积极的） feelings towards a confessor.

Smith says, "Kids of all ages who expect that a parent would feel happy about a child's confession are more likely to tell the truth rather than lie. Reward the honesty even if you feel you must punish the wrong action." He adds, what parents can learn from these studies is to listen calmly without getting angry right away when their child confesses.

Allowing children to make mistakes is one of the greatest challenges of parenting. It is easier when they are young. The potential（潜在的） mistakes carry greater risks, and part of being a parent is reducing risk for our children.

【1】What does the expression "gives a denial," in Paragraph 1 mean?

A.refuses to tell the truth B.decides to blame the parent

C.prepares to accept the truth D.begins to shout at the parent

【2】What did Smith and his workmates find in their study?

A.Kids of all ages are more likely to tell the truth rather than lie.

B.Younger children would feel better confessing the wrongdoing.

C.Older kids thought parents would be angry with their confessions.

D.Older kids are more likely to confess to an act than younger children.

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A.It's easy for kids to confess their mistakes.

B.Parents should at once punish the kids who lied.

C.It takes time for children to learn to tell the truth.

D.Parents should never get angry after kids' confessions.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A.Why children like telling lies when they are young.

B.How children feel when they confess their mistakes.

C.Why parents must punish their children's wrong actions.

D.How parents should treat their children when they make mistakes.

27、Criminals could soon be caught if they are cat owners. Using cat DNA, scientists can now look into one piece of cat hair and identify (识别) the cat, according to a new study.

In the past, scientists couldn’t do that. It’s because the hair doesn’t have hair roots, so it has little DNA. Also, cats’ DNA is very similar. One piece of cat hair can seem like the hair of thousands of different cats.

Scientists from the University of Leicester, UK, found a new way. They found a special piece of DNA from the cat’s hair. It has some parts that make the cat different from the others.

However, it’s difficult to see the parts that can identify the cat, because they are too small. So the scientists copy the DNA piece and make billions (数亿的) of copies. This way, they have a lot more pieces to look at. It’s now much easier for them to identify a cat just by its hair.

In their study, the scientists said they can also use the same way to identify other pets based on their hair, such as dogs. So it will be easier for the police to catch criminals. There is usually pet hair at crime scenes. Although the “bad guys” try not to leave their DNA behind, it’s difficult for them to clear away all the pet hairs, such as those on their clothes.

【1】What does the underlined word “it” in Para.2 refer to?

A．The cat.

B．The hair.

C．The hair root.

D．The copy.

【2】Why couldn’t scientists identify a cat from one piece of the cat hair in the past?

A．Because the cat has little hair.

B．Because all the cat hair is the same.

C．Because the hair has little DNA.

D．Because the DNA copies are too small.

【3】Which is the right order to find out the criminal?

① find out the criminal       ②find a special piece of DNA

③copy the DNA piece        ④identify the pet

A．②④③①

B．②③④①

C．③②④①

D．③④②①

【4】Where may the passage come from?

A．A storybook.

B．A science magazine.

C．A travel book.

D．A crime fiction.
