冲刺2021年高考英语二轮复习 阅读理解 第九模块：日常文化类 Passage 1．（2021•扬州模拟） Since their beautiful baby daughter Ella came into their lives，James and Ola Jordan's home has undergone a transformation in the past nine months. The designer marble coffee table has lost pride of place to a playpen. "Everything is about Ella， and that is how we always wanted it to be，" says adoring mum Ola. "Our home was quite stylish before she came along； now there are toys everywhere. I can't remember the life we had without her. Ella has taken over our home ﹣and our hearts." The former Strictly Come Dancing professionals，who married in 2002，had longed to be parents and considered themselves blessed when Ella was born during the outbreak of coronavirus after their years of medical treatment and attempts. James tells us："People say how this time of year becomes special again when you see it through the eyes of a child. I get that. Already she loves the Christmas lights and the tree，although she isn't going to understand what it's all about." There is no doubt that Ella is the couple's most precious gift﹣﹣﹣and the icing on Christmas cake for James will be the moment she says "Dada". "We all keep saying it to her，she is not having any of it，" laughs 43﹣year﹣old James. "It's just 'Mama， Mama…'" says Jam："Ola knew that I would always be a big part of bringing up our little girl. And likewise，I always knew Ola was going to be a great mum， and very hands on." Having James around so much has been a bonus for Ola，four years younger than James. "It has just been us and our baby so I feel lucky that James has been here. But I have missed not being able to meet up with other new mums and swap advice." "Ella is yet to meet another baby，and we will arrange another room for the new family member，" says James. "but at least she is lucky that she has a really funny dad. She is always laughing and is such a happy little girl." （1）Their home was_____　before they were blessed with Ella. A. conservative B. fa
