课时小练(十五)　阅读完形提分练 阅读理解A　体裁:记叙文　主题语境:做人与做事　难度:★★☆☆☆ 　 　　In October, I told the eight⁃year⁃olds in the class I teach in Pompton Lakes, New Jersey, about my plan. “Since all of you have done extra jobs around the house to earn some money,” I said. “Then we􀆳ll buy food for a Thanksgiving dinner for someone who might not have a nice dinner otherwise.” I watched them while they walked up and down the supermarket. “Flowers!” Kristine cried. The group rushed toward the holiday plants. “You can􀆳t eat flowers.”—It was more sensible to use any extra money to buy something that could be transformed (转换,转变) into meals. “But Mrs. Sherlock,” came the begging voice, “we want flowers.” Defeated finally, I put a pot of “funny” purple mums in the cart full of foods. “She􀆳ll like this one,” the children agreed. An organization had given us the name and address of a needy grandmother who had lived alone for many years. We finally pulled up in front of a small house. A slightly⁃built (非常瘦弱) woman with a weary face came to the door to welcome us. My little group ran to get the food. As each box was carried in, the old woman kept on saying “Thanks”—much to her visitors􀆳 pleasure. When Amy put the mums on the counter, the woman seemed surprised. She􀆳s wishing it was a bag of flour (面粉), I thought. We returned to the car. As we fastened our seat belts, we could see the kitchen window. The woman inside waved goodbye, then turned and walked across the room, past the turkey, past the goods, straight to the mums. She put her face in their petal (花瓣). When she raised her head, there was a smile on her lips. She was transformed before our eyes. The children were quiet. At that moment, they had seen for themselves the power they possessed to make another􀆳s life better. The children had sensed that sometimes a person needs a bunch of funny purple flowers on a dark November day. 　　【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。作者和孩子们在给无法享用美味晚餐的老太太购买感恩节晚餐食物时,在孩子们的强烈要求下买了一束紫色的菊花。老太太看到花后脸上露出了微笑,孩子们和鲜花改变了老太太的心情和生活。 好词　①sen
