【題目】 Geese live to be around 25 years old, are very loyal, and never forget their first home. Even so, it came as a total shock to me when, in 2019, an aging adult wild goose made his way back to my family home. Geese love houses with large, green grassland to eat on; the flat area also makes it easy for them to watch out for predators (捕食者). So, at first, I assumed it was just another goose.

And yet, something about the lone male seemed oddly familiar to me. After two weeks of the goose coming back repeatedly, it became clear to me that this wasn’t a random goose. He did all of the same things Peeper used to, like trying to come in through the front door and sleeping in our enclosed pool area. In addition to following Peeper’s old ways, this goose also responded to the name Peeper. Much to my amazement, my old best friend had returned, 20 years later.

Why did Peeper return? It’s hard to say. Perhaps his mate died, leaving him lonely. If s also possible that he is approaching his twilight (薄脣) years and knows it, making him long for his early home. This behavior is typical of geese. Whatever the reason, Peeper continues to live with me. It’s a good thing that I stayed in my childhood home.

He doesn’t come home every single night the way he did as a baby. Some nights he may seek out the comfort of his own kind at the lake nearby. Geese in the wild typically sleep on water. But he’s here a lot, making his presence known and giving me joy. Many years later, the goose still remembers the true meaning of family. So do his people.

【1】What was the author’s feeling at first?

A.Joyful.B.Natural.

C.Shocked.D.Strange.

【2】Which best suggests that the goose was Peeper?

A.The goose kept coming back.

B.The goose reacted to the name.

C.The goose fed on the grassland.

D.The goose slept at the front door.

【3】What can we infer from paragraph 3?

A.Peepers mate had made him return.

B.Peeper was too old to live in the wild.

C.The writer knew why Peeper returned.

D.The writer felt lucky to have Peeper back.

【4】What does the author think of Peeper’s frequent presence?

A.He takes it as a sign of family bond.

B.He considers it as typical of geese.

C.He thinks Peeper is seeking comfort.

D.He supposes it to be a past habit.

Many of today's young people have a difficult time seeing any moral dimension to their actions. There are a number of reasons why that’s true, but none more important than a failed system of education that avoids teaching children the traditional moral values that bind Americans together as a society and a culture. That failed approach, called 'decision-making', was introduced in schools 25 years ago. It tells children to decide for themselves what is right and what is wrong. It replaced 'character education', which didn't ask children to reinvent the moral wheel, but encouraged them to practice habits of courage, justice and self- control.

Decision-making curriculums pose ethical dilemmas to students, leaving them with the impression that all morality is problematic and that all questions of right and wrong are based on people's own ideas. Youngsters are forced to question values and virtues they've never acquired in the first place. The assumption behind this method is that students will arrive at good moral conclusions if they are given the chance. But the actual result is moral confusion.

This kind of confusion further encouraged by values-education programs that are little more than courses in self-worth. These programs are based on the questionable assumption that a child who feels good about himself or herself won't want to do anything wrong. But it is just as reasonable to make an opposite assumption: namely, that a child who always believes in and accepts himself will conclude that he or she can't do anything bad.

It is time to throw 'decision-making' and 'none-judgementalism' into the rubbish heap of failed policies, and return to a proved method. Character education provides a much more realistic approach to moral formation. It is built on an understanding that we learn morality not by debating it, but by practicing it.

Children Must Be Taught to Distinguish Right from Wrong

Problem

Many young people find it 【1】 to see their actions in

a moral way.

Reason

Replacing character education, the decision-making approach does not

teach children 【2】 morality but emphasizes subjective judgment

on right and wrong.

Consequences

● 【3】 decision-making curriculums were meant to give students

the chance to 【4】good moral conclusions by themselves, they

make students 【5】 confused, due to the 【6】 of criteria

on what's right and wrong.

● Values-education programs 【7】 students' moral confusion.

Those with self-acceptance will make the assumption that they can't do

anything wrong.

● Public education based on decision-making approach, which 【8】

to guide youngsters on the right track, fuels the explosion of serious 【9】 problems.

Solution

An immediate shift back to character education is needed. Moral formation can be achieved by means of 【10】.

【題目】 If you want to learn why everything is usually cheaper, and what items are the best deals at your local or chain dollar or discount store, store employees have a lot of useful information. They tend to know what shoppers want — even before shoppers know themselves.

Everyone buys unnecessary things

Whether you shop at a chain dollar store such as Dollar Tree, Family Dollar or your local 99 cents store, not everything that’s on sale is necessarily worth purchasing. Bryan Waring, a former Dollar Tree employee, says that you’re not alone in buying more than necessary from these stores. “It seems basic, but everyone falls for this trap,” he says. “You go into a store where everything is cheap, and you walk out with things you don't need.” He suggests going into a store — yes, even the dollar store — with a checklist of things you truly need.

Everything is cheaper after the holiday season

Patricia, a seasonal worker at a Dollar Tree, says that the post-Christmas season means even more deals on everything from decorations to sweets. “After Christmas, all the gift wrap paper went to 50 cents, and all Christmas items were half price,” she says. “Even candy bars are 89 cents versus $ 1.”

Products are less expensive because of their size

In order for dollar stores to keep their prices low, product sizes are usually smaller than normal, according to Cheapism. Dollar stores area t the only ones guilty of this trick. Cheapism also reports Walmart is guilty of doing the same thing to attract customers.

【1】What is Bryan’s advice against buying unnecessary things?

A.Making a purchase alone.

B.Writing a to-buy list ahead.

C.Shopping at your local store.

D.Buying basic things separately.

B.At a particular discount.

C.After the Christmas season.
