Then I helped her granddaughter up while the lady slowly climbed on behind us. I pulled out my 48 cinnamon stick and gave it to the sweet girl while her gra
21、ndma smiled her 49 to me. I got off the bus and looked up to the window where the little, curly-haired Child of God was waving goodbye to me. Then I started back to meet the other students a little 50 at heart if not in body. As I was 51 the corner, though, a voice called out from an alley. “Hey man

26、d, good for the soul. It gave her time to reflect without distractions（分心）and rid herself of the day to day worries that come with being a single mother.I didnt realize how hard it was for her until I became a single mom myself. In dealing with all those similar pressure and experiences with my own
27、children, I remember calling her and apologizing for having been so difficult and judging her. She listened intently and let out a soft chuckle, “I have a confession（坦白）to make,” she replied. “When I was at my wits end with you one day, I remember praying that you would have a child just like you !”
28、I had no idea at that time how strong and brave she was. Putting her wants and desires away for the sake of all that we wanted or needed. Only years after we left home did she go back to school and obtain her degree and start her own life.I think back today and only wish I was more appreciative and
29、less critical（挑剔的）. Perhaps that could have helped make her life a little easier. Instead of feeling bitterness and resentment（愤恨）, she only expressed pride in all that I have accomplished and my ability to hold on to my dreams; a strong woman she said.Walking down the stone pathway to the backyard,
30、 I gaze upon this magnificent - 6 -garden and feel at peace. I can see her sitting on the bench wrapped in her favorite quilt. The various colors of plants give testimony（证明）to all the years of comfort it provided.56Why does the authors mother engage in gardening ?ATo seek comfort. BTo provide food

DGrateful and guilty.BEmotional abuse is a general term for types of abuse that tend to be non-physical in natu
34、re. This includes things like verbal abuse, shaming people, or forcing them to witness the abuse of another person or animal. Emotional abuse may be much more common than physical abuse, but can be just as devastating（灾难性的）.When a person is emotionally abused, he is usually consistently or frequentl
35、y abused. Defining the term may have as much to do with evaluating how often the abuse takes place and how severe it is. It doesnt usually refer to the one day last month when you got mad at a kid or spouse, provided that this behavior does not continue and does not have elements of physical abuse.A
36、 few examples of emotional abuse can include deliberate terrorization（恐吓）of a person, such as intentionally threatening violence against that person or other people. Extreme neglect or isolation, such as limiting a persons exposure to the outside world is emotionally abusive. Constantly shaming a pe
37、rson, name-calling, or rejecting a person are other examples.Though emotional abuse is not physical abuse, it is violent and it has far - 7 -reaching consequences for the person abused. It can result in depression, problems with self-esteem, anxiety, poor sleep, alcoholism or drug use , and suicidal
38、ity（自杀）among other things.If you recognize that you have been emotionally abused or you feel your behavior may be abusing someone else, there are plenty of ways to get help. Start by talking with a licensed counselor who can help guide you to either changing your behavior to stop abuse, or help you
39、recover from such abuse. If youre to young to get to a counselor on your own, you can talk to a trusted teacher, a counselor, a family doctor to help stop this vicious（恶性的）cycle. 61We learn from the first paragraph that .Aemotional abuse doesnt happen as much as physical abuse.Bverbal abuse is the m
40、ain form of emotional abuse.Cseeing an abused animal always makes one emotionally abused.Demotional abuse is just as harmful as physical abuse.62A person may not be emotionally abused if .Ahe is rejected by his friendsBhe is constantly shamed by othersChis parents are angry with him only occasionall
41、y.Dhe is forbidden to get in touch with the outside world.63We can infer from the fourth paragraph that .Aemotional abuse can have serious consequences.Bemotional abuse cant harm ones self esteemCwe are not sure of the results of emotional abuse.Demotional abuse is not violent usually.64The last par
42、agraph implies that .Aa person should get help if he emotionally abuses others.Ban emotionally abused child cant get help from a counselor.Can emotionally abused person may abuse others. Dan emotionally abused person can recover himself.65The underlined word “counselor” in the last paragraph probabl
43、y refers to .Aa driver Ban adviser Can official Da victimCWhen a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturers claims, the first step is to present the warranty, or any other records which might help, at the store of purchase. In mo
44、st cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction. A simple - 8 -and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the “higher up” his or her complaint, the faster he
45、 or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumers favor, assuming he or she has a just claim.Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.
46、Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making ge
47、neral statements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear” is better than “This stereo does not work”. The store manager may advice the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and firmly as possible. If a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go to a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumers rights.66When
