A
It was Saturday morning and I asked seven-year—old Kelley to let her daddy take her to
gym class。 But she didn't agree。 I explained that some friends would visit our house that day
and I had to clean the house. But the truth was， I had spent 20 years watching Kelley's five
elder brothers and sisters take lessons and I just wanted to get out of it. However, seeing Kelley
was going to cry, I decided to do this once more。
Looking through the door, I watched as the teacher led the students to a rope hanging in the
corner of the gym。 One after another， each child in line climbed up the thick rope while the
teacher held it at the bottom。 Then it was Kelley’ s turn-the youngest in the class。 With a big
smile, she climbed higher and higher. Then it happened。 About halfway up, the teacher loudly
warned, “Don’t go up any farther than you’re able to come down。”
Kelley halted。。. Then slowly moved down all the way to the floor. I knew she was heading
to the top of that rope and was perfectly capable （能胜任的) of reaching it。 Why did she stop?
I questioned her on the way home。
“Kelley, could you have climbed all the way to the top？"
“Yes,” she quietly replied.
“Then why didn't you keep going？"
Silence。
“Was it because of what the teacher said？” I asked.
She nodded.
I knew it was time to teach。
“Kelley， don’t let anybody make you doubt yourself. Don’t ever let anyone keep you
from knowing what you can do。.。 Even though they seem bigger, or smarter or older. Will you
remember that?” I said.
“Yes!” she answered quickly.
I was glad I chose to take Kelley to the class and got the opportunity to teach her an
important lesson.
51。 The writer did NOT want to take Kelley to gym class at first because she __________。
A. became very tired of it B。 needed to visit some friends
C。 had so much housework to do D. had to take lessons herself
52。 Seeing Kelley climbing higher and higher, the teacher felt _________。
A. angry B. worried C。 proud D. pleased

A. The writer has six children to look after。
B. Kelley would like her father to take her to gymnastics class。
C。 The other children in gymnastic class are younger than Kelley.

54。 What did the writer expect Kelley to do?
A. To take care of her safety. B. To follow the teacher’s advice。
C. To do as other students do. D。 To have confidence in herself。

Once while being prepared for a television interview， I was chatting with the host about
stay—at—home fathers. Why are we seeing more stay-at-home dads？ I thought maybe it’s
because a man doesn’t make more money than his wife。 Many families now take earning (赚
钱） power into consideration when deciding which parent will stay home.
At that point, one of the members expressed his opinion, “It should be the better parent who
stays at home”. A lot of guys say things like that。 I was a stay—at-home father for eight years，
so what he said made me excited. It showed that our family's choice could only have been
correct if I was a “better” parent than my wife.
I suppose an argument could have been made that when I began staying home my wife was
the “better” parent： She had spent more tune with our son, could read him better and calm him
more quickly. And if he had a choice, he'd have picked her over me. But as she was the more
employable （有人雇佣的） one， my wife went out to work and I looked after our son.
Because of the increased time I spent with him， I soon knew him well， understood what
he needed and could look after him more or less as my wife could. Actually, the experience
