1 / 5 UNIT 1 课时检测（四） “Developing ideas”的课文习读环节 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A I was five years old when my little brother, Mark, was born. On the photos, I appeared so thrilled that he had finally arrived. I held and bathed him, smiling from cheek to cheek. I do not remember that feeling now. Being the first child in the family, I was the one my parents tested their new parenting techniques on.
