Grwing up, I remember my father as a silent, serius man — nt the srt f persn arund whm ne culd laugh. As a teenager arriving in America, knwing nthing, I wanted a father wh culd explain the human jurney. In cllege, when friends called hme fr advice, I wuld sink int deep depressin fr what I did nt have.
Tday, at twenty-seven, I have cme t rediscver them in ways that my teenage mind wuld nt allw — as adults and as friends with their wn faults and weaknesses.
One night after my mve back hme, I verheard my father n the telephne. There was sme truble. Later, Dad shared the prblem with me. Apparently my legal training had earned me sme privileges(特权) in his eyes. I talked thrugh the prblem with Dad, analyzing the purpses f the peple invlved and ffering several negtiatin skills. He listened patiently befre finally admitting, “I can’t think like that. I am a simple man.”
Dad is a brilliant scientist wh can decnstruct(解构)the building blcks f nature. Yet human nature is a mystery t him. That night I realized that he was simply nt skilled at dealing with peple, much less the truble f a cnflicted teenager. It’s nt in his nature t understand human desires.
And s, there it was — it was n ne’s fault that my father held n interest in human lives while I placed great imprtance n them. We are at times brn mre sensitive, wide-eyed, and dreamy than ur parents and becme mre curius and idealistic than them. Dad perhaps never expected me fr a child. And I, wh knew Dad as an intelligent man, had never understd that his intelligence did nt cver all f my feelings.
It has saved me years f questining and cnfusin. I nw see my parents as peple wh have ther relatinships than just Father and Mther. I nw ignre their many faults and weaknesses, which nce annyed me.
I nw knw my parents as friends: peple wh ask me fr advice; peple wh need my supprt and understanding. And I’ve cme t see my past clearly.

A new study discvers that sharks d sleep, and they ften sleep with their eyes pen. Since sme sharks have t swim cnstantly t keep xygen-rich water flwing ver their gills (鱼鳃), peple have lng thught that they dn’t sleep at all.
Researchers frm Australia have nw recrded a species f shark sleeping fr the first time, finishing the lng-standing debate abut whether sharks sleep. T see if sharks were in fact asleep, the team analyzed the metablism (新陈代谢) and pse f seven draughtsbard sharks (猫鲨) ver 24 hurs. When the sharks were resting fr five minutes r lnger, their xygen cnsumptin drpped, which suggested the animals were sleeping. And the researchers als nticed that the sharks changed their psture by lying flat and clser t the grund.
The sharks smetimes slept with their eyes shut as well, thugh, mstly during the day. At night, they tended t keep their eyes pen mre ften, leading researchers t suspect that the sharks’ eye clsure might have mre t d with light than the sleep state itself. “Nt nly are sleeping sharks less respnsive t their surrundings, but they als have lwer metablic rate,” said Michael Kelly, an ecphysilgist at La Trbe University.
“Sharks are an imprtant grup as they are the ldest living jawed vertebrates (颌类脊椎动物) — a character they share with us,” Michael Kelly said. “Sharks have been swimming in the sea fr ver 400 millin years and have evlved very little in that time. Understanding hw and why these animals sleep will prvide imprtant understanding int the functin f sleep and hw the animal has evlved ver time.”
The team pints ut that mre research will be needed t see if ther species sleep like the draughtsbard sharks. Next they plan t cntinue t analyze the sharks’ brain activity while they sleep, t learn mre abut their waking and resting states.
32. What is the previus misunderstanding abut sharks?
A. They sleep with their eyes clsed.
B. They breathe in flwing water.
C. They swim frequently at night.
D. They always stay awake.
33. What d researchers find abut draughtsbard sharks?
A. They need t rest every five minutes in the sea.
B. They cnsume much less xygen during the day.
C. They have the same pse when awake and when asleep.
D. They might clse their eyes nt t sleep but t avid light.
34. What des paragraph 4 talk abut?
A. The prcess f the research.
B. The negatin f the research.
C. The significance f the research.
D. The intrductin f the researchers.
35. What d the researchers think f their research in the last paragraph?
A. Insufficient.B. Unrealistic.C. Meaningless.D. Inefficient.
