课时检测（二） “Reading and Thinking”的课文习读环节 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A I grew up in a small town in New Hampshire, and every morning, sometimes before I woke up, my dad left for work. I didn't know much about what my dad actually did all day. But one thing I did know about my dad's day was that he often spent his lunch break looking for books for me. He would often come home in the evening with a book for me in his bag. When he handed the “gift” over to me, I immediately investigated its cover, checked out the description on the back, and sometimes started reading right then. I was not always as appreciative of those books as I should have been, especially in my younger years. One time, Dad brought home a paperback (平装书) called Bunya the Witch. I scanned the cover quickly before declaring, “Ugh! It's just another stupid farm book，” and dropping it on the ground. I was rightfully reprimanded for being an ungrateful kid, and I learned that valuable lesson about not judging a book by its cover — Bunya the Witch turned out to be one of my favorites. As I got older, my dad favored books focused on strong young female characters, like Invincible Louisa by Cornelia Meigs, Up a Road Slowly by Irene Hunt, and Homesick: My Own Story by Jean Fritz, books I remember to this day. It's not just the books themselves that stay in my memory. It's the girl reading them, and what she felt as she read. I think back to hours spent in my childhood bedroom, reading about young women who faced lives much more difficult than mine. I learned from their courage and drew inspiration from their bravery. To this day, I love to read. I love the excitement of opening up a new book and getting lost in whatever story the author wants to tell me. And quite often, when I've read something really wonderful, the first person I pass it along to is my dad. I figure I owe him. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者年少时，父亲每天下班都会给她带一本书作为礼物，这让作者养成了热爱阅读的习惯。 1.What do we know about the young author from Paragraph 1? A．She asked for gifts every evening. B．
