Are parents rational(理性的) about their children? No. parents aren’t rational because 36 isn’t rational. Young people can understand this about romantic love, but they find it hard to 37 this element(元素) in parental love.
My eldest daughter’s 38 the other day brought this up. “Let me ask you something. Dad.” She began in a tone of patiently controlled 39 that every experienced parent knows. “I sailed around the Mediterranean in a yacht(游艇) when I was seventeen,” she said. “I hiked through the Pyrenees from Spain to Paris. I’ve done rock climbing and deep-sea diving and slept in rainforests in the jungle of Indonesia. Right?”
“Right,” I said. “So 40 ?”
“So this,” she went on. “When I go to the corner drugstore to pick up some shampoo, why do you always tell me to be 41 when I cross the street?”
There is no 42 answer a parent can give to this. All I could mumble(嘟囔) in 43 was that when I was 50, my mother would 44 me not to drive too fast. If I were 80 and she were still alive, I would be getting the 45 warning. No matter the 46 , a child is a child. There is something else, too, that children find it hard to 47 . When they are far away, there is nothing we can do about their 48 . They are in the hands of the gods. Parents try not to 49 about it. But when the children are 50 , the old protective urge quickly comes back, and it doesn’t 51 how far they have been or what experiences they have got through.
Most 52 happen around the corner, not in the rainforest. The most instinctive(本能的) act of almost every creature is to 53 its young, and with humans this 54 stays for a lifetime.
In the parent’s mind, a child ages but does not 55 . Rational? No. But if we were rational, would we want children at all?

阅读下列短文，根据短文内容从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
I didn’t just want to be a bodybuilding champion. I wanted to be the best bodybuilder of all time.
Deep, deep down ask yourself: “Who do you want to be?” Not what, but who. I’m talking about figuring it out for yourself: “What makes you happy?”
You have to think outside the box. That’s what I believe, after all. What’s the pointing of being on this Earth if all you want to be is be liked and avoid trouble?
We have so many rules in life about everything. I say break the rules. Don’t break the law, but break the rules.
I remember that after I had finished with my bodybuilding career I wanted to act. I wanted to be a star in films. Everyone had the same thought that it couldn’t be done. They said: “Look at this body, you have this huge monstrous(巨大的) body, you’re overly developed.” They thought I wouldn’t fit into movies. But I didn’t listen to them. Those were their rules. I was convinced I could do it.
Then I got my big break in Conan the Barbarian. That shows you should trust yourself no matter what anyone else thinks.
On that movie the director said: “If we don’t have Schwarzenegger, we would have to build one.” Then when I did The Terminator, I said: “I’ll be back…” One of the most famous lines in movie history, all because of my crazy accent. It just shows you that you should never listen to those who say you can’t do something.
Don’t be afraid to fail. In everything that I have attempted, I’ve always been willing to fail. Don’t be afraid of making decisions. You can’t be paralyzed with the fear of failure or you will never push yourself. You can push because you believe in yourself and your vision. You know it’s the right thing to do and success will come. Don’t be afraid to fail.
By Arnold Schwarzenegger
