Dear 17﹣year﹣old self,
When your Laker dream comes true tomorrow, you need to figure out a way to invest in the future of your family. This sounds simple, and you may think it's a no﹣brainer, but take some time to think on it further.
I said INVEST.
I did not say GIVE
Let me explain.
Purely giving material things to your siblings(兄弟姐妹) may appear to be right decision. So you buy them a car, a big house, pay, all of their bill. You want them to live a beautiful comfortable life, right?
But the day will come when you realize that as much as you believed you were doing the right thing, you were actually holding them back.
You will come to understand that you were taking care of them because it made YOU feel good, it made YOU happy to see them smiling and without a care in the world ﹣ and that was extremely selfish of you. While you were feeling satisfied with yourself, you were slowly eating away at their own dreams and ambitions. You were adding material things to their lives, but subtracting the most precious gifts of all.
Invest in their future, don't just give.
Use your success, wealth and influence to put them in the best position to realize their own dreams and find their true purpose. Put them through school, set them up with job interviews and help them become leaders in their own right. Hold them to the same level of hard work and dedication that it took for you to get to where you are now, and where you will eventually go.
I'm writing you now so that you can begin this process immediately, and so that you don't have to deal with the hurt and struggle of weaning(断绝) them off of the addiction that you facilitated That addiction only leads to anger, hatred and jealousy from everybody involved, including yourself.
As time goes on, you will see them grow independently and have their own ambitions and their own lives, and your relationship with all of them will be much better as a result.
Trust me, setting things up right from the beginning will avoid a ton of tears and headache, some of which remains to this day.

【回答】
158.A
159.A
160.D
【分析】
这是一篇应用文,本文是一篇作者写给年轻时的自己的一封信,讲述了如何处理自己与家人之间的关系。
158.主旨大意题。通读全文,特别是根据文章开头“Dear 17-year-old self,”可知,本文是写给年轻时的自己的一封信,故A项正确。
159.词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“you were slowly eating away at their own dreams and ambitions. You were adding material things to their lives, but subtracting”可知,你正在蚕食他们的梦想和抱负,虽然你给他们的生活增添了物质,但却阻碍了他们的*和成长,由此可知画线词指的是“*和成长”,故A项正确。
160.推理判断题。根据后两段内容,特别是最后一段“and your relationship with all of them will be much better as a result.Trust me, setting things up right from the beginning will avoid a ton of tears and headache, some of which remains to this day.”可知,你和他们的关系也会因此变得更好。和家人相处方面的一些眼泪和头痛一直持续到今天,由此可知,作者曾被自己和家人之间的关系所困扰,故D项正确。
【点睛】
本篇词义猜测题设在句尾,因此对上文的理解是关键,根据画线词前的and your relationship with all of them will be much better as a result.Trust me, setting things up right from the beginning will avoid a ton of tears and headache, some of which remains to this day.“you were slowly eating away at their own dreams and ambitions. You were adding material things to their lives, but subtracting”可知,你正在蚕食他们的梦想和抱负,虽然你给他们的生活增添了物质,但却阻碍了他们的*和成长,由此可知画线词指的是“*和成长”。
