高一(下)期末阅读理解真题 2020-2021石家庄高一下学期期末 B I sat here at that same desk and stared at the computer. I waited patiently for ideas to come to me, thinking about exam questions for a school test I would give to my English students tomorrow. My wife was off to a reunion somewhere, but I wasn't alone. Our two children kept me company. Ten-month-old Edward spent most of his day looking at some cards and other different pieces of paper. But Meghan was different from her younger brother. She followed a daily routine that needed much time and was difficult.

She insisted that I go with her to the window. “No, Meghan,” I answered irritably. “Not now. Go away and leave me alone.” She left without any attempt to bother me. I could finish the test easily without interference. However, I saw her standing quietly with tears running down her cheeks. She had two fingers of her right hand in her mouth and watched me type. She caught sight of the birds from time to time. At this moment, only for a moment, I saw a little girl crying because I didn't have time for her, realizing somehow it was the sitting next to each other that meant everything. I put away the blank paper and stood up. 24. What can we learn about the author from paragraph 1? A. He has two daughters. B. He's tired of his present job. C. He often stays alone at home. D.
