第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
A
It is not unusual at all for teens to answer their parents with one-word answers.“Where are you going？”“Places.”“When will you be back？”“Sometime.”“Who will you be with？”“People.”
That means that the days of your children bounding in the front door with the details of their day are over.They are breaking away from you so that they’ll be able to stand on their own as a young adult.
Some parents feel sad about this loss of their children’s closeness.Of course you miss those conversations and friendly talks.Once your children move out after high school and establish themselves confidently as a young adult，they’ll come back for easy conversations and even ask for advice.But in order to determine who they are right now，they need to separate from you.
Your job，however，is to keep them safe—and that requires knowing where they are and who they are with.Let them know clearly that it’s not because you want to dominate their life and control them；it’s because it’s a safety issue for family members to keep track of one another.
When they’re home and sit down to eat a meal，sit down with them.You need to open up to them about your life.Tell them of an interesting incident at the office，let them in on a bit of family gossip (闲谈)，discuss a piece of news with them.They are glad that you see them as old enough to be in on a few experiences of your life.By letting a teen in on your life，they just may let you in of theirs.

Mark Twain’s father，John Clemens，decided to leave the small village of Florida and move to the somewhat larger and more prosperous Hannibal，on the banks of the Mississippi River.However，because of Twain’s poor health，his parents feared he would not survive childhood.
During the family’s first few years in Hannibal，Twain was too young to understand fully the changes going on around him.John Clemens，though trained as a lawyer，tried to support his family by running a store and speculating in real estate.When his business failed，Clemens was forced to put off his plan to establish a permanent home for the family.
About 1843，Clemens began concentrating on the practice of law，a decision that brought some stability to the family finances and enabled him to have a house built.Construction began in 1843 ，and the family moved into the new house the next year.About the time the family moved into their new home，Twain’s health improved dramatically.Instead of having to lead a quiet indoor life，he could roam the streets of Hannibal，climb the surrounding hills，explore the area’s caves and splash about in local swimming pools.He reveled (作乐) in his newfound freedom，spending nearly all his free time playing outdoors with the other boys in town and soon becoming a leader.
Twain’s carefree days did not last long.His father used their house as collateral (抵押物) for a friend’s loan，and the creditor took possession when the loan failed.A physician offered to let them live in his home.The Clemens family moved into that house in late 1846.On March 24,1847，John Clemens died.In the same year，his wife and his oldest son，Orion，managed to regain possession of the little house on Hill Street，and the family moved back into it that summer.
For the next six years，Twain，his brother Henry，and his sister Pamela lived with their mother in the family.Within a year of his father’s death，Twain quit school ahus，when he decided to leave Hannibal in May 1853，he already had an inkling of his future career.
61．Which is the possible reason for Twain’s family moving to Hannibal?
A．It was a larger and more prosperous place.

A．Twain was strong when his family moved to Hannibal
B．Twain’s father didn’t want to build a house in Hannibal
C．Twain was a quiet boy when he was young
D．Twain’s family took back the little house on Hill Street in 1847
63．How many of Twain’s brothers and sisters are mentioned in the passage?
A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five.
64．We learn from Paragraph 3 that________.
A．Twain had to stay at home before his health improved
B．Twain was a born leader
C．Twain’s family moved into the new house in 1843

65．What’s the meaning of the last sentence?

“I swear，I didn’t steal anything！” I shouted over the alarm.Obviously the security guard didn’t believe me because he seized the shopping bag right out of my hand.
“Do you have a receipt for this？” he asked doubtfully，putting any new back－to－school outfit (全套装备) onto the dusty floor near the mall entrance.
“Of course I do，” I replied，fishing my wallet out of my coat pocket.Elsie and Monica，my two best friends，stood beside me.They were laughing their heads off!
I almost tore my wallet apart for the receipt，but it had disappeared.“Let me look again，” I said nervously.Then_I_looked_again，and_again，and_again！My_face_was__getting_hotter_
by_the_minute，and_my_heart_was_beating_like__a_racehorse.
Finally，I looked back at the guard and whispered，“It’s not here.” The guard picked up my clothes and said，“You’ll have to come with me，Miss.”
When he opened the office door，I saw a man sitting behind a big metal desk.It was the manager.Then I had an idea.
“May I say something？” I asked.“I can pro
