四、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Now there is a family problem. Nearly every parent says that we never grow up. In fact we are probably 14 or 15years old. In their eyes, we are always little ones and often do wrong things. For example, when I need to stay at home alone, they always worry about me and my life without them.
Most parents always think that they have offered the best things they can to make their children live in a comfortable world. They buy their children pretty clothes, cool shoes, everything that they can for their dear children. In return, they only want their children to get good results in the exams.
But why still can’t their children understand them? Does it mean that we still want more material(物质) things? No. As a matter of fact, what we want is a true family. “What does a true family mean”? I think it means a place where we can hide ourselves from the cold world outside. From here, we can get warmth, we can get consolation(安慰), and we can get happiness. And one important thing is that we should be stronger and more confident(自信的) in the outside world because we know that we have a true family.
So I think that parents should sit down to talk with their children to let them know that they have a true family, so the children and their parents could understand one another more and more. Then, parents will not treat their children as little ones.
41.In our parents’ eyes we_______.
A. we have grown up B. we never do anything wrong
C. We are always little ones D.we shouldn’t worry them
42. What do most parents want to get from their children?
A.Good results in the exams. B.The best things.
C.Pretty clothes. D.Cool shoes.
43.What do the children really want?
A. More material things. B.A true family
C.Nothing at all. D. A comfortable world.
44. What can we get from a true family?
A. Warmth and consolation. B. Happiness and strength.
C. Confidence and understanding. D. All of the above.
