The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently. My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him. I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. I’m so glad I did. On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape. After all, it was protected by the arms of a bay52 that had only one tiny channel to the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big humps(脊背) in the distance. On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldn’t believe it —there aren’t any whales along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive. The little baby whale—actually as big as our boat—was obviously stuck and could not move. The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools(漩渦) and waves. “She’s trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side53,” my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and, heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swam up right beside its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, sometimes rising from the water right beside us to breathe—and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance51. In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day. Nearly four decades later, I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea54. 51. The author says “I’m so glad I did. ” (in Para. 2) because __________.

Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parentteen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?55Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it56. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ plete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trappedIn this article, I’ll describe three nowin situations that monly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap58. The first nowin situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right, It doesn’t matter what the topic is — politics. The laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg — the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong. for both wish to be considered an authority — someone who actually knows something — and therefore to mand respect57. Unfortunately, as long as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress 55. Why does the author pare the parentteen war to a border conflict?A. Both can continue for generations. B. Both are about where to draw the line C. Neither has any clear winner D. Neither can be put to an end 【解析】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段末“Like a border conflict …… the parentteen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do”,【答案】B。56.
