D
It dawned on me recently that I am the only person in my family who doesn’t benefit from having a mother in the house.
This was not only the case for me, but for a large number of fellow countrymen, including one friend who felt so bad one night that she got out of bed and cleaned her house in case the medical examiner had to come. (He didn’t.)
“I want my mommy” indeed could be read throughout the cold, snowy descriptions of winter’s Facebook, where many middle-aged women are known to go for comfort.
This translates as: “I want a constant supply of homemade soup without asking for it.”
Also: “I want someone who can put her hand on my forehead and know within a degree what my temperature is.”
More than anything, the desire for mommy translates into a longing for selfless constancy, for the all-knowing, mother with a cold cloth in her hand, who never leaves the bedside except to go to the bathroom.
The image of the mother nurse at the sick bed think Gone With the Wind’s Melanie in the Civil War hospitals is one of a perfect, warmhearted wisdom soldiers’ holy person and medicine woman, a la Joan of Arc, Mother Teresa and Pocahontas rolled into one. She is a supernatural being who knows, without the help of Google, when her patient should go to the doctor and when she should stay in bed, which illness needs a warm bath and which needs a warm shower…
Now, to be fair: let me say that my good friend made soup for me twice while I was ill. My goddaughter, a nurse practitioner, texted every day, several times a day, from several states away. My husband often came home from work in the middle of the day to check on me. One night, which so happened to be an outdoor celebration , when I was at my most miserable and convinced it was time for the emergency room, my family gathered around me on the bed with red beans and rice．
There’s nothing quite like a mother in situations like these. Literature knows it.

History knows it. Even current studies show that mothers are still 10 times more likely than their husbands to leave work to tend to sick children and five times more likely to take the sick child to the doctor, like a kid than a mother these days, continuously circling my sick bed, meowing for food while I suffer in a pile of cough drop wrappers.
There is hope: I asked my primary care provider, who is a woman and a mother, at my office visit midway through my illness, if she would be my mommy.
She threw her head back and laughed.
67. What does the underlined word “She” refer to in Paragraph7? A. Melanie B. la Joan of Arc C. Mother Teresa D. Pocahontas
68. We can conclude from the writer, Mother can possibly do the following Except________.
A. Supplying homemade soup regularly without asking for it. B. Diagnosing whether her child runs a high fever with her hand. C. Offering her children a helping hand when necessary.
D. Never leaving her husband’s bedside except going to the bathroom
69. The writer mentions her friend, daughter and husband, which implies that________. .
A. her daughter has much less experience than her husband in looking after patients B. her husband comforted her much less than her daughter.
C. though they looked after her well, they couldn’t replace the role of Mother. D. compared with literature, history and current studies, they have done better. 70. As a whole, this passage suggests the writer________. A. misses her dead mother B. hopes to get comfort and care from her mother C. blames her mother for being out D. needs her mother’s help with housework

请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文在文章后表格中的空格里填上一个最恰当的词。
We all need to feel understood, recognized and affirmed by our friends, family and romantic partners. We all need to find our tribe.
Research has shown that among the benefits that come with being in a relationship or group, feeling accepted is regarded as the most important driver of meaning. When other people think you matter and treat you as if you matter, you believe you matter, too.
Though we all share a need to belong, in the first decades of the 20th century, many influential psy-chologists and physicians did not acknowledge this fundamental aspect of human nature. The idea that children needed parental love and care to live a full and meaningful life was not only considered medically dangerous, but also dismissed as immoral and disgusting.

As behavioral psychology came into fashion and academic psychologists turned their attention to child-raising, this view shifted and they began to examine and affirm the vital importance of attachment in early life. They discovered that people, whatever their age, needed more than food and shelter to live full and healthy lives.
But, sadly, many of us lack close ties. At a time when we are more connected digitally than ever before, rates of social isolation are rising. The results of an Age UK poll published recently suggest that half a million people over the age of 60 usually spend each day alone, and it's not unusual for another half a million people to go without someone to speak to for five or six days.All these figures reveal more than a rise in loneliness—they reveal a lack of meaning in people's lives. In surveys, we list our close relationships as our most important sources of meaning. Research shows that people who are lonely and isolated feel their lives are less meaningful.
While close relationships are critical for living a meaningful life, they are not the only important social bonds we need to cultivate. Psychologists have also discovered the value of small moments of intimacy. “High-quality connections”, as one researcher calls them, are positive, short-term interactions between two people when a couple holds hands on a walk or when two strangers have an empathetic (移情作用的) conversation on a plane. High-quality connections have the potential to unlock meaning in our interactions with acquaintances, colleagues and strangers.We can't control whether someone will make a high-quality connection with us, but we can all choose to start one. We can say hello to a stranger on the street rather than look away. We can choose to value people rather than devalue them. We can invite people to belong.
