Question

Dear World,

My son starts school today. It’s going to be strange and new to him for some time. And I wish you would treat him gently.

You see, up to now, he has been king of his own room. He has been boss of the backyard. I have always been around to treat his wounds, and to comfort his feelings.

But now things are going to be different. This morning, he’s going to walk down the front steps, wave his hand and start his life.

So, World, I wish you would take him by the little hand and teach him the things he will have to know. Teach him there are heroes, leaders and friends in this world. Give him quiet time to think over the mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun, and flowers on the green hill.

Teach him to believe in his own ideas, even if everyone else tells him he is wrong.

Teach him to stand and fight if he thinks he is right.

Teach him never to put a price on his heart and spirit.

Teach him gently, World, but don’t love him too much, because only the test of fire makes fine steel. This is a big order, World, and see what you can do. He’s such a little fellow.

【解析】

試題分析：本文是一位母親因為自己的兒子即將踏入社會而給世界寫的封信。字里行間都充滿著母親的睿智和母親對孩子的深沉母愛。

1.D 概括歸納題。根據文章第二段：他是后院的老板，自己放假的主人，母親僅僅是孩子心靈的守護者。從這里可以看出選D。

2.C 概括歸納題。從第四段開始到結束，都是作者以母親的身份“叮囑世界善待孩子，讓孩子善待世界，讓孩子敢于堅持正確的觀點，讓孩子……”這些都是母親希望自己的孩子養成良好的習慣。

3.C 概括推斷題題。從文章的稱呼，和一位母親在叮嚀這個世界應該怎么對待自己的兒子，說明這是一封母親寫給世界的信。
