(2016·全国卷Ⅰ) Grandparents Answer a Call

As a third-generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never planned to move away. Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children, she politely refused. Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms. Garza finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.

No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing. Even President Obama's mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study by grandparents.com, 83 percent of the people said Mrs. Robinson's decision will influence grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama's family.

“In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn't get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own，” says Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand, a magazine for grandparents. “We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them, especially when you're raising children.”

Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.

1．Why was Garza's move a success? A．It strengthened her family ties. B．It improved her living conditions. C．It enabled her to make more friends.

D．It helped her know more new places.

2．What was the reaction of the public to Mrs Robinson's decision? A．17% expressed their support for it. B．Few people responded sympathetically. C．83% believed it had a bad influence. D．The majority thought it was a trend.

3．What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s? A．They were unsure of themselves. B．They were eager to raise more children. C．They wanted to live away from their parents. D．They had little respect for their grandparents.

4．What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph? A．Make decisions in the best interests of their own. B．Ask their children to pay more visits to them. C．Sacrifice for their struggling children. D．Get to know themselves better.

(2017·太原市外国语学校月考)

The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we've never been before.

But just as in face-to-face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line. __1__ Imagine how you'd feel if you were in the

other person's shoes.

For anything you're about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person's face？” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. __2__

If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. __3__ If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.

__4__ Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it's a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it's a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn't give you license to correct everyone else. __5__ At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.

It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don't ask such questions.

A．It's natural that there some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online. B．Repeat the process till you feel sure that you'd feel comfortable saying the words to the person's face.

C．Everyone was new to the network once.

D．The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.

E．When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.
