UNIT 10 课时跟踪检测(一) 阅读理解专项练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
It has become a daily routine for the students on bus in Arlington, Washington to wave to the “grandma in window”.
Every day for the past five years, you could find the old lady Louise Edlen sitting at her dining room table having breakfast as the kids were passing by. But one day in early October this year she was not found sitting in her usual place.
The kids didn't see their old friend for a few days. They got worried. Finally, they learned that she had suffered a stroke (中风). “It was kind of heartbreaking to us because she was always there in the past five years,” seventhgrader Axtin Bandewerfhorst said.
But she was upset and was obviously still thinking about the 20 boys and girls who passed by her home every day. The day after the bus driver Carol Mitzelfeld brought a bouquet of flowers from the students to Louise, the kids looked out of the window to find a sign reading “Thank you”.
“That really made me happy,” 10thgrader Cheyanne Holt said. “It shows how much we mean to her.”
So to welcome Louise home from the hospital, they made her a sign of their own: a photo of the kids waving from inside the bus.
“Carol told us that a lot of times she even does not remember her daughter's name, but she always remembers to wave to the kids on the bus,” Bandewerfhorst said. “That made me feel really special.”
Louise's husband, Dave Edlen, said, “The students' daily move gives her something to look forward to every day.”
Louise has returned home, and is back to waving to the students every day.
