Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. I would return from school and
spend the expected half hour recording the day’s events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue
diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain
satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isn’t accumulating
memories a way of preserving the past?
When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley,
well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident,
name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully
preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I
wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the
walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I automatically took out my
pen….
At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I
allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous
few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.
Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still
love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly
meaningful. I take pictures, but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful. I’m no longer
blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply
pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.
I don’t want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I
won’t have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I’ll forget certain facts, but
at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I don’t live to make memories—I just live,
and the memories form themselves.

51. Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of_.
A. observing her school routine B. expressing her satisfaction
C. impressing her classmates D. preserving her history

Mothers and daughters go through so much—yet when was the last time a mother and
daughter sat down to write a book together about it all? Perri Klass and her mother, Sheila Solomon
Klass, both gifted professional writers, prove to be ideal co-writers as they examine their decades of
motherhood, daughterhood, and the wonderful ways their lives have overlapped
(重叠)
.
Perri notes with amazement how closely her own life has mirrored her mother’s: both have
full-time careers; both have published books, articles, and stories; each has three children; they both
love to read. They also love to travel—in fact, they often take trips together. But in truth, the harder
they look at their lives, the more they acknowledge their big differences in circumstance and basic
nature.
A child of the Depression
(大萧条)
, Sheila was raised in Brooklyn by parents who considered
education a luxury for girls. Starting with her college education, she has fought for everything she’s
ever accomplished. Perri, on the other hand, grew up privileged in the New Jersey suburbs of the
1960s and 1970s. For Sheila, wasting time or money is a crime, and luxury is unthinkable while
Perri enjoys the occasional small luxury, but has not been successful at trying to persuade her
mother into enjoying even the tiniest thing she likes.
Each writing in her own unmistakable voice, Perri and Sheila take turns exploring the joys and
pains, the love and bitterness, the minor troubles and lasting respect that have always bonded them
together. Sheila describes the adventure of giving birth to Perri in a tiny town in Trinidad where her
husband was doing research fieldwork. Perri admits that she can’t sort out all the mess in the
households, even though she knows it drives her mother crazy. Together they compare thoughts on
bringing up children and working, admit long-hidden sorrows, and enjoy precious memories.
Looking deep into the lives they have lived separately and together, Perri and Sheila tell their
mother-daughter story with honesty, humor, enthusiasm, and admiration for each other. A written
account in two voices, Every Mother Is a Daughter is a duet
(二重奏)
that produces a deep, strong
sound with the experiences that all mothers and daughters will recognize.
55. Why does Perri think that her own life has mirrored her mother’s?
A. They both have gone through difficult times.
B. They have strong emotional ties with each other.
C. They have the same joys and pains, and love and bitterness.
D. They both have experiences as daughter, mother and writer.
56. The word “luxury” in Paragraph 3 means ______.
A. something rare but not pleasant
B. something that cannot be imagined
C. something expensive but not necessary
D. something that can only be enjoyed by boys
57. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The content of the book. B. The purpose of the book.
C. The influence of the book. D. The writing style of the book.
58. How are women’s lives explored in this book?
A. In a musical form. B. Through field research.
C. With unique writing skills. D. From different points of view.
