21、A survey said the average Asian dad spent one minute a day with his children.I was shocked. I mean, a whole minute? Every day? Get real. Once a week maybe. The fact is, many Asian males are terrible at kid—related things. In fact, I am one of them.
Child—rearing (养育) doesn’t come naturally to guys. My mother knew the names of our teachers, best friends and crushes. My dad was only vaguely aware there were short people sharing the apartment. My mother bought healthy fresh food at the market every day. My dad would only go shopping when there was nothing in the fridge except a jar of capers and a bay leaf.Then he’ d buy beer. My mother always knew the right questions to ask our teachers. My dad would ask my English teacher if she could get us a discount on school fees.My mother served kid food to kids. My dad added chili sauce to everything, including our baby food.
The truth is, mothers have superpowers. My son fell off a wall once and hurt himself all over. I demanded someone bring me a computer so I could google what to do. My wife ignored me and did some sort of chanting phrase such as “Mummy kiss it better,” and cured l7 separate injuries in less than 15 seconds.
Yes, mothers are incredible people, but they are not always right. Yet honesty forces me to record the fact that mothers only know best 99.99 percent of the time.Here are some famous slip-ups.
The mother of Bill Gates: “ If you’ re going to drop out of college and hang out with your nerdy friends, don’ t come running to me when you find yourself penniless.” The mother of Albert Einstein: “When you grow up, you’ ll find that sitting around thinking about the nature of time and space won’ t pay the grocery bills.” The mother of George W.Bush: “You’ll never be like your dad, who became President of the United States and started his own war.”

A. females love kids more than males
B. males are not good at child—rearing
C. my dad is not interested in child-rearing
D. child-rearing is difficult both for females and males
【3】What does the underlined word “slip-ups” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. stories B. shortcomings C. mistakes D. advantages
【4】The last paragraph is mainly developed by .
A. providing different examples
B. following the order of space

23、SEA LIFE LONDON AQUARIUM (水族馆) GUIDE
Have you ever wished you could swim to the deepest of the ocean to see some of the rarest sea creatures in the world? Or even take a trip to Antarctica and take photos of a family of penguins? Well, luckily for you, the SEA LIFE London Aquarium allows visitors to do that.
Opened in 1997, the SEA LIFE London Aquarium is the largest in London. Not only does it provide entertainment for visitors as they watch sharks, turtles, and tropical fish swim over, under and all around them, but it’s also one of the UK’s leading centers for sea life protection.
Highlights:
Pacific Display | Walking over a glass window and watching sharks swim under your feet |
Atlantic Zone | Observing turtles, snails, and octopuses |
Tidal Reach Zone | Taking photos of colorful jellyfish and pipefish |
Rockpools | Feeling starfish (海星) and the shell of a crab |
Special tips:
Make sure you take advantage of the discounted tickets available on any of our official websites.
Dress in layers (层) during your visit, because it can get quite warm inside the aquarium and cold in the penguin area.
Avoid visiting during the busier periods since some of the areas of the aquarium are quite narrow.
Ticket prices:
Tickets cost £19.95, but there are other choices:
If you want to see the London Eye as well as the aquarium, there is a “SEA LIFE and London Eye” package for £39.
If you want to swim with the friendly sharks in the aquarium, there is a “Shark Experience” package which costs £89.

24、 Sending children outside to play during the winter is one of the best things you can do for them. 【1】 It also gives parents a brief relief from the chaos.
【2】 Children between 12 months and 6 years of age should spend 60 and 90 minutes outdoors each day, children older than that should get an hour too, and babies should be taken out several times a day and exposed to the fresh outdoor air.
Successful winter play is closely tied to the way children are dressed. Unless outfitted properly, they will have a miserable time and ask to come back in within minutes of heading out. 【3】
Staying dry is crucial, so even if it’s not that cold out, put rain pants on a child to keep their legs dry and break the wind. Use boots that are high and waterproof. Choose heavy socks and a hat that are made of wool, as these take moisture away from a warm active body most effectively. Mittens(连指手套) are much warmer than gloves, and having a scarf or neck warmer makes a difference, too. 【4】 Make sure they have a good range of movement that allows them to play and keep active outside.
If you think it’s a lot of work getting them ready to go out, just wait till they come back in. 【5】 Everything has to be dry before the next outing. So don’t skip this step or you’ll have angry, cold children in a few hours’ time and a whole lot of regret on your part.
A.That’s when it gets really busy!
B.It gives them a space to consume energy.
C.Cotton does not do this and will leave feet feeling wet and cold.
D.Don’t overdress a child, though, because then they will get too sweaty.
E.National guidelines recommend lengths of outdoor exercise for children.
F.Don’t hesitate to cut the playtime short if your child is unhappy or cold outside.
G.It’s best to ensure they’re comfortable so they’ll stay out for a decent length of time.
