阅读理解

    One day, my father and I were in line to buy tickets for the circus(马戏表演). And a family was standing in front of us.

    The family had eight children. Their clothes were not expensive but clean.The children talked about the clowns(小 丑), elephants, monkeys and other things excitedly. It was their first time to go to the circus.

    The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly answered, “I want eight children's tickets and two adults' tickets, so I can take my family to the circus.”

    The ticket lady said the price. The man's wife lowered her head and there was no smile on th e man's face. He quietly asked, “How much did you say?”

    The ticket lady said the price again. The man didn't have enough money. How could he tell his eight kids the bad news? My dad put his hand into his pocket and pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground.(In fact, we were not rich!) Then my dad said, “Excuse me, sir, this dropped out of your pocket.”

    The man knew what was going on. He looked into my dad's eyes, held my dad's hand in his, and took the $20 bill. “Thank you, sir, thank you. This really means a lot to me and my family.”

①For the past ten years,my dad and I have attended the same school—he as an administrator (行政人员) and I as a student. Our relationship,has been totally unpredictable. 

②When I was younger,all that my dad said was doctrine (信条) and I copied anything he did. We played games together(依靠) my dad taking me to school,running into him regularly during the day and riding home with him every afternoon. 

③However,as I grew older,we were not as close as we used to be. He wasn't cool any more. He wore his socks too high(尴尬). 

④For example,in my seventh grade,my dad came to our New Year party. He dressed up as Donald Duck,singing silly songs. Just kill me!I wanted to run away. 

⑤Another thing was during my 10th﹣grade physics project. The task was to build a wood bridge with the best strength﹣to﹣weight ratio(比率). All the students and physics teachers took part in it. So did my dad,the only administrator! Embarrassed,I ran away. However,later when I learned from my friends that my dad got the first prize and won everyone's admiration,he still influenced me. 

⑥I feel lucky to have such an unusual father. The relationship I have developed with my dad over the years has enabled me to look back and see how I've grown. 

 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Right now a baby is shouting because he doesn't want to eat his lunch. What are the parents doing? They' re filming the scene on a smartphone. Soon after, they' re posting the video on social media. A teenage boy is playing a new song on his guitar. His mother is filming him. Two days later, the boy discovers that other people are watching the video online.

Parents in the UK post about 1,000 photos of their children online from when they are born until their fifth birthday, a phenomenon(现象) called"sharenting". Babies don't care about this at the time. But a study by the University of Michigan suggests that there is a difference with 10-to 17-year-olds. Teenagers don't always like parents posting some photos. All babies cry, but teenagers don't want people to see old photos of themselves doing this.

Some parents share all sorts of photos of their children, maybe even when they are doing something silly. They do it with good intentions, for example to share special moments with grandparents who live far away. But some middle-aged users of social media don't check their privacy(隐私) settings and share posts with others by accident.

In some countries, it isn't allowed to post photos of your own children without their permission. In Italy, a 16-year-old boy is allowed to force his mother either to stop sharing photos of him on social media or pay a €10,000 fine! In France, parents pay fines of up to €45,000 and can spend a year in prison(监狱) when they post photos of their children without their permission.

Parents are usually very sensible about photos of their children. The report from the University of Michigan suggests this is an area where it's important for parents to listen to children over ten. Let them say what they are happy to share, and who with. That way the whole family can enjoy looking back at all those special moments.
