28、As we grew up, my mother would sit my sister and me down on the last Sunday of every month and force us to write letters to family in India. Despite being an orphan, my mom came from a large, tight-kmit Anglo-Indian family back in Hyderabad and loved the cousins she was raised with like siblings. At the time, we were the only ones who had left India to go abroad. She missed all our relatives deeply.

It was the 1970s, and my mother was recently divorced, raising two little girls on her own and finding her way in a new country. We lived in a basement apartment and couldn’t afford long-distance calls. Letter-writing was the cheapest and only way for us to maintain contact. The last thing I wanted to do was sit down for an hour after dinner and write letters to people I barely knew. But over time, my sister and I came to enjoy it. My mother would tell us stories about each family member, and it was interesting to get to know a whole clan of people who looked and sounded just like us.

When my mother died, my sister and I took her ashes back to India. We hadn’t been back for over 25 years, having visited only once when I was 10. After the funeral, we spent a month visiting relatives. Each household would take out photo albums full of photographs of us as well as the letters they’d received over the years. They’d saved them all and wanted to show us that they’d never forgotten us.

As we struggled as new immigrants, my mother ensured that we always knew who we were, where we came from and where we were going. She kept us connected to a family that was thousands of miles away but near to our hearts through a lifetime of letter-writing. And she taught me the power of storytelling.

It's a legacy to be proud of and a gift I’m grateful for every day.

D．She once lost touch with her cousins.

【2】In the beginning, how did the author feel about writing letters to her relatives in India?

【3】During their visit to India, what did the author and her sister discover about their relatives?

A．They lived all over the country.

B．They had forgotten about them.

C．They had saved all the letters from them.

D．They had similarities with the author’s mother.

【4】What valuable lesson did the author learn from her mother’s practice of letter-writing?

29、Today’s world is not an easy adjustment (适应) for young adults. Key skill for success is persistence (毅力), a characteristic (特点) that researchers say is heavily influenced by fathers. Researchers from Brigham Young University discovered that fathers play a key role in helping their children learn persistence.

BYU professors Laura Padilla-Walker and Randal Day arrived at these findings after following 325 American families over several years. And over time, the persistence gained through fathers led to higher achievement in school.

“There are relatively few studies that stress the unique role of fathers,” Padilla-Walker said. “This research also helps to prove that characteristics such as persistence—which can be taught— are key to a child’s life success.”

Researchers determined that dads need to practice an “authoritative” (权威的) parenting style. Authoritative parenting is not authoritarian: rigid (顽固的), demanding or controlling. Instead, an authoritative parenting style includes some of the following characteristics: children feel warmth and love from their father; responsibility and the reasons behind rules are stressed; children are given an appropriate (恰当的) level of autonomy (自主权).

In the study, about 52 percent of the dads showed above-average levels of authoritative parenting. A key finding is that over time, children raised by an authoritative father were more likely to develop persistence, which leads to better outcomes in school.

This particular study examined 11 to 14-year-olds living in two-parent homes. Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a role in teaching the benefits of persistence, which is a way of future research.

【1】What is special about the BYU professors’ study?

A．It centered on fathers’ role in parenting.

B．It was based on a number of large families.

C．It analyzed different kinds of parenting styles.

D．It aimed to improve kids’ achievement in school.

【2】What would an authoritative father do when raising his children?

A．Ignore their demands.

B．Make decisions for them.

C．Explain the rules to them.

D．Control their behaviors.

【3】Which group can be a focus of future studies according to the researchers?

A．Children aged from 11 to 14.

B．Single parents.

C．Authoritarian fathers.

D．Mothers in two-parent homes.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．Three characteristics of authoritative fathers.

B．Key skills for young adults to succeed in future.

C．Family relationship influences school performance.

D．Children tend to learn determination from father.
