三、 任務型閱讀

      Learning to understand your mother well is what you should do. Here are the best steps towards a better relationship with her. They are not necessarily surprising,but they have worked for many people. Try them. 

      Remember your mother's age.

      As children,we often do not think of our mother as having an age. Knowing our mother's age,not just in numbers of years but in terms of her psychological (心理上的) and physicaK生理的) state,often helps us to understand her better.

      Listen to your mother.

      I have found that sometimes the things my mother told me long ago are pretty useful. If you respect her point of view,even if you do not share it,it will help your mother feel close to you.

      Ask your mother about your childhood history.

      If you are lucky enough to have living family,think of your life as a jigsaw puzzle and ask as many questions as you can to put the picture together. Understanding your roots and your childhood can help you know more clearly who you are,as part of afamilywhichyousharewithyourmother.

      Taking any measure to understand our mother is the topic of how we understand ourselves. We should follow the way of her life. When we are able to accept our mother—with all her failings,we can understand her better and it can also help us to know about our shortcomings. Remember that understanding our mother is really about understanding ourselves.

根據短文內容,回答下列問題。

1. Should we learn to understand our mother well?

2. What can help us understand our mother better?

3. How do we make our mother feel close to us?

4. Why do we ask our mother about our childhood history?

5. What does the writer want to tell us?
