Passage Two
My surprise over the past few winters has been the personality
transformation my parents go through around mid-December as they change
from Dad and Mom into Grandpa and Grandma. Yes, they become grandparents
and are completely different from the people I know the other eleven and a
half months of the year.
The first sign of my parents’ change is the delight they take in visiting
toy and children’s clothing stores. These two people, who usually dislike
anything having to do with shopping malls, become crazy consumers. While
they tell me to budget my money and shop wisely, they are buying up every
doll and dump truck in sight. And this is only the beginning of the
holidays!
When my brother’s children arrive, Grandpa and Grandma come into full
form. First they throw out all ideas about a balanced diet for the
grandkids. While we were raised in a house where everyone had to take two
bites of corm, beets (甜菜)，or liver (foods that appeared quite often on our
table despite constant complaining), the grandchildren never have to eat
anything that does not appeal to them. Grandma carries chocolate in her
pockets to bribe (贿赂)the littlest ones into following her around the
house, while Grandpa offers “surprises” of candy and cake to them all day
long. Boxes of chocolate-pie disappear while the whole-wheat bread get
hard and stale. The kids love all the sweets, and when the sugar raises
their energy levels, Grandma and Grandpa can always decide to leave and do
a bit more shopping or go to bed while my brother and sister-in-law try to
deal with their highly active kids.
Once the grandchildren have arrived, Grandma and Grandpa also seem to
forget all of the responsibility lectures I so often hear in my daily
life. If Mickey screams at his sister during dinner, he is “developing his
own personality”; if Nancy breaks Grandma’s mirror, she is “just a curious
child.” But, if I track mud into the house while helping to unload
groceries, I become “careless”; if I scold one of the grandkids for
tearing pages out of my textbook, I am “ impatient.” If Paula talks back
to her mother, Grandma and Grandpa smile at her spirit. If I say one word
about all of this excessive love, Mom and Dad reappear to have a talk with
me about petty jealousies. (398 words)

41. As regards his parents’ shopping for the grandchildren, the author
______.
A. feels jealous B. feels amazed
C. thinks it unnecessary D. thinks it annoying

42. What happens after the kids have had all the sweets?
A. They get highly energetic.
B. They quiet down.
C. They want more sweets.
D. They go to bed.

43. Which of the following is NOT true of the visiting children?
A. They behave very well.
B. They like chocolate very much.
C. They receive toys from their grandparents.
D. They are having a lot of fun.

44. It can be inferred from the passage that when the author was a child,
he______.
A. liked the foods he had
B. got a lot of pocket money
C. was spoiled by his parents
D. was scolded if he misbehaved

45. “Personality transformation” in the author’s parents means that they

A. have turned into loving parents
B. have become strict parents
C. no longer care for the author
