"Then he put me in the oven． I had never felt so hot． I could see him through the opening and I could read his words，'Not yet．'"
"Finally the door opened， and he took me out and put me on a shelf． Then he brushed me and put me back into the oven． This time it was twice as hot． I begged． I cried． I could see him through the opening nodding his head， saying，'Not yet．'"
"Then I knew there wasn't any hope． I was ready to give up， but the door opened and I was taken out and placed on a shelf． Later he handed me a mirror and said，'Look at yourself．' I said，'That can't be me． It's beautiful!'"

9．（2020•孝感）Dear Daniel，
I feel that I've grown up and should make my own decisions，but my parents disagree．My mom still helps me choose what clothes to wear．My dad asks me to pay attention only to study．I know they do this out of love，but I feel controlled．What should I do？
Amanda
Dear Amanda，
Your parents sound very strict．It's hard to believe that your mom chooses what you wear．Are you a Barbie doll？
Try to take the first step when possible．Dress yourself before your mother has a chance to come in and choose your clothes．If she asks you to change，tell her you'll be late for school．
You should also talk to her．Ask about her choices：What makes a set of clothes acceptable or unacceptable？Tell her you will follow her rules，but you want to make the choices．You are not in first grade．You are a young lady in high school．
As for your father，it's difficult to argue with his mind．After all，he is not totally wrong．How strict is he？Does he lock you up with your textbooks？Are you allowed to have a hobby？Are you allowed to have a smartphone？Are you allowed to hang out with friends？
Such strict parents should know the law of diminishing returns （收益递减）．A weightlifter，for example，can only lift for an hour or two each day．If she does more，her museles will not become stronger．She will just get tired．She may even hurt herself!
Our brains also havelimits．Some violin teachers say you should only practice a new skill for 15 minutes each day．Our brains need to relax and understand new information．Our brains also have a basic need to socialize （社交）．Ask your father：what is the meaning of so much studying if it makes you feel unhappy？
Stay strong．
Daniel

（2）B.细节理解题。根据The first time they visited Grandma，Sally wanted to cry.Grandma sat all by herself in the corner of the room.可知，他们第一次去看望奶奶时，莎莉想哭。奶奶一个人坐在房间的角落里。所以为什么莎莉第一次去看望奶奶时就想哭，因为她觉得奶奶很孤独。故选B。
（3）A.细节理解题。根据 "Sure.You're the girl who brings me ice cream."All of a sudden，Sally realized that Grandma would never remember her.可知，"当然。你就是那个给我送冰淇淋的女孩。"突然，莎莉意识到奶奶永远不会记得她了。所以在奶奶眼里，莎莉是一个善良的女孩。故选A。

8．（2020•孝感）A couple often went shopping together． They both liked teacups． One day they saw a beautiful teacup in a store． As they picked it up， it suddenly spoke．
"I haven't always been a teacup． Once I was red clay． My master rolled（揉、搓） me over and over and I shouted， but he only smiled．"
"Then I was placed on a rolling wheel and suddenly I went around and around．'Stop!' I cried， but the master only nodded．"
"Then he put me in the oven． I had never felt so hot． I could see him through the opening and I could read his words，'Not yet．'"
"Finally the door opened， and he took me out and put me on a shelf． Then he brushed me and put me back into the oven． This time it was twice as hot． I begged． I cried． I could see him through the opening nodding his head， saying，'Not yet．'"
"Then I knew there wasn't any hope． I was ready to give up， but the door opened and I was taken out and placed on a shelf． Later he handed me a mirror and said，'Look at yourself．' I said，'That can't be me． It's beautiful!'"
"'I want you to remember，' he said，'if I had just left you without rolling， you'd have dried up． If I had stopped rolling you around on the wheel， you would have been out of shape． If I hadn't put you in the oven， you would have broken． If I hadn't brushed you all over， you would not have any color in your life． If I hadn't put you back in that oven for the second time， you wouldn't be kept for very long because the hardness would not have held． Now you are a finished product． You are what I had in mind when I first started with you．"

9．（2020•孝感）Dear Daniel，
I feel that I've grown up and should make my own decisions，but my parents disagree．My mom still helps me choose what clothes to wear．My dad asks me to pay attention only to study．I know they do this out of love，but I feel controlled．What should I do？
Amanda
Dear Amanda，
Your parents sound very strict．It's hard to believe that your mom chooses what you wear．Are you a Barbie doll？
Try to take the first step when possible．Dress yourself before your mother has a chance to come in and choose your clothes．If she asks you to change，tell her you'll be late for school．
You should also talk to her．Ask about her choices：What makes a set of clothes acceptable or unacceptable？Tell her you will follow her rules，but you want to make the choices．You are not in first grade．You are a young lady in high school．
As for your father，it's difficult to argue with his mind．After all，he is not totally wrong．How strict is he？Does he lock you up with your textbooks？Are you allowed to have a hobby？Are you allowed to have a smartphone？Are you allowed to hang out with friends？
Such strict parents should know the law of diminishing returns （收益递减）．A weightlifter，for example，can only lift for an hour or two each day．If she does more，her museles will not become stronger．She will just get tired．She may even hurt herself!
Our brains also havelimits．Some violin teachers say you should only practice a new skill for 15 minutes each day．Our brains need to relax and understand new information．Our brains also have a basic need to socialize （社交）．Ask your father：what is the meaning of so much studying if it makes you feel unhappy？
Stay strong．
Daniel

A．to give the kids more praise
B．to hang out with the kids
C．not to protect the kids too much
D．not to push the kids so hard
【解答】（1）A 细节理解题．根据第一段I feel that I've grown up and should make my own decisions，but my parents disagree．My mom still helps me choose what clothes to wear．My dad asks me to pay attention only to study．I know they do this out of love，but I feel controlled．What should I do？我觉得我已经长大了，应该自己做决定，但我父母不同意．我妈妈仍然帮我挑选衣服．我爸爸让我只注意学习．我知道他们这么做是出于爱，但我觉得自己被控制了．我该怎么办？可知是向Daniel求助的，故答案为：A．
（2）C 细节理解题．根据第二封信的第一段 It's hard to believe that your mom chooses what you wear．Are you a Barbie doll？很难相信你妈妈会选择你穿什么．你是芭比娃娃吗？可知另人难以置信，故答案为：C．
（3）B 词义猜测题．根据下句Some violin teachers say you should only practice a new skill for 15 minutes each day．一些小提琴老师说你应该每天只练习15分钟的新技能．可知大脑也有极限的，故答案为：B．
（4）D 细节理解题．根据最后两段的例子：A weightlifter，for example，can only lift for an hour or two cach day．If she does more，her muscles will not become stronger．She will just get tired．She may even hurt herself!Our brains also have limits．Some violin teachers say you should only practice a new skill for 15 minutes each day．Our brains need to relax and understand new information．Our brains also have a basic need to socialize （社交）．举个例子，举重运动员每天只能举重一到两个小时，如果她多锻炼，她的肌肉就不会变得更强壮，她只会感到疲倦，甚至会伤到自己！我们的大脑也有局限性．一些小提琴老师说你每天只需要练习15分钟的新技能．我们的大脑需要放松和理解新的信息．我们的大脑也有基本的社交需求，可知告诉他的父母别把孩子们逼得这么厉害，故答案为：D．
