课时训练(六) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2014·厦门质检) DEAR AUNTY， My husbands niece is 13 and who I would call “ a_handful”．She wants to stay with us for a while，and her mother and grandmother have told me what a great influence I would be on her.Her visit，no doubt，would bring about a long list of demands，and shed want to bring a friend too.I dont feel comfortable to host her，but I dont know how to tell my husbands family members without hurting their feelings. －Reluctant Aunt Dear Reluctant， Lets get you out of this mess.Your husbands family is making a request that borders on a demand and sugar-coating it with self-serving flattery(恭维)．Put your foot down，and tell the truth.Say you dont feel equipped or comfortable to host the little darling，and regretfully decline(拒绝)．Under no circumstances should you take part in any discussion that attempts to change your mind through flattery. DEAR AUNTY， I have two stepdaughters,21 and 24.On holidays，the older one always buys me gifts but adds her sisters name on the card.I feel insincere to thank the younger daughter－Id rather get no gift than be a part of this pretence.Is it tacky(俗气的)to ask the 24-year-old to stop giving her sister credit while it isnt deserved？Will the younger one ever learn to be thoughtful? －Mindful Mum Dear Mindful， Lighten up！Your older stepdaughter is a considerate and generous sister who covers for and protects her younger sister.Good for her！The girls relationship is between them.As for your role，you cant punish anyone into being thoughtful.You can，however，model thoughtful behavior.Spend some time with her，and get to know her better. 1．The underlined part “a handful” would probably mean a person who________.
