高三英语专题阅读欣赏（日常生活篇） 一个孩子的心里话 北师大版

高 考 英 语 专 题 阅 读 ：Memos from a child 你是否有时感觉到和父母难以交流？文中这个孩子对父母的建议是否也道出了你的心声？ Don’t spoil me. I know quite well that I ought not to have all I ask for ... I’m only testing you. Don’t correct me in front of people if you can help it. I’ll take much more notice if you talk to me in private. Don’t make me feel that my mistakes are sins （罪恶）. It upsets my sense of values. Don’t be too upset if I say “I hate you.” It isn’t that I hate you, but only that I need your attention. Don’t protect me from consequence. I need to learn the hard way. Don’t nag （唠叨）. If you do, I shall have to protect myself by appearing deaf. Don’t make rash （ 轻 率 的 ） promises. Remember that I feel badly let down when promises are broken. Don’t be inconsistent （不一致）. That completely confuses me and makes me lose my faith in you.Don’t put me off （敷衍） when I ask you questions. If you do, you will find that I stop asking and seek my information elsewhere. Don’t ever suggest that you are perfect or infallible. It gives me too great a shock when I discover that you are neither. Don’t ever think it beneath your dignity to apologize to me. An honest apology makes me feel surprisingly warm to you. Don’t forget how quickly I am growing up. It must be very difficult for you to keep pace with me but please try. Don’t forget I love experimenting. I couldn’t get along without it, so please put up with （容忍） it. Don’t forget that I can’t thrive without lots of love. But I don’t need to tell you all the time, do I?用心 爱心 专心1
