　　(2014·�？谑姓{(diào)測)

　　Before I spoke to his school, Matt was waiting for me. He sat in his wheelchair unable to move. As soon as he saw me he started smiling. He could not talk but his laugh melted the hearts of everyone walking by.

　　One of the teachers told me that he was actually very smart. He just could not control his muscles due to a childhood disease. He was happy and very popular at his school—his parents' love and encouragement made all the difference. On the contrary, at a book signing session, I met a girl by the name of Anne. She walked up with her mom with a bright smile. Anne asked about my book with a slur in her speech indicating a slight head injury. I told her about it and she smiled the whole time and asked me to sign one for her. I did.

　　Five minutes later, I heard a voice from Anne's father, “You know you will not understand the book. You aren't smart enough.” He said it so loudly that people were staring in their direction. She was absolutely crushed and her bright smile was now replaced with a look of total despair(絕望). He brought the book back to me and asked me to take it back. I asked him if he would allow me to purchase the book for Anne. He said no with a heartless response. I thought back to Matt. He could not speak, walk, run or play but was actually very happy and even doing well in school because of the love and encouragement of his parents. Anne, on the other hand, had a slight learning problem and may never know happiness or success because of a serious and disapproving father.

　　What kind of parent are you? The truth is that whatever you are telling your kids makes the difference between their success and failure in life.

　　文章大意：本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。通過對兩個孩子的對比，作者告誡父母在愛和鼓勵中長大的孩子能戰(zhàn)勝一切困難并獲得幸福，而在批評指責中長大的孩子體會不到成功的喜悅和生活的樂趣。

　　1.According to the author, Matt's happy life mainly lies in ________.

　　A.the teachers' help

　　B.the author's appreciation

　　C.his parents' support and encouragement

　　D.the friendly attitude of all the people around

　　答案：C　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第三句“He was happy and very popular at his school—his parents' love and encouragement made all the difference.”可知，他的快樂來源于父母的愛和鼓勵。故選C。

　　2.The author wanted to buy the book for Anne in order to ______.

　　A.show how generous she was

　　B.help her to improve her reading ability

　　C.teach the father how to educate children

　　D.save her from feeling uncomfortable

　　答案：D　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二、三段內(nèi)容可知，Anne想買這本書，但父親的話打擊了她，讓她感到傷心絕望。作者想給她鼓勵，所以主動提出給她買書。故選D。

　　3.What can we infer from the conditions of the two children?

　　A.They need more people to help them.

　　B.What parents do plays an important part in their success.

　　C.They are suffering different difficulties to some extent.

　　D.The children with disability are well worth sympathizing.

　　答案：B　推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一句及文中對兩個孩子的對比可知，孩子成功和幸福與否和父母對待他們的方式有很大關系。如同Matt一樣，即使身有殘疾，但只要有父母的愛和鼓勵，一樣可以獲得成功和幸福。故選B。
