Mary, a mother of three children, never did that before. She always thought her children were too young to do chores. However, a TV show called Old Enough changed her mind. It’s a popular reality show (真人秀). The idea of the show is from a children’s picture book. The book describes a mother asking her five-year-old daughter to run to a store near their home to get some milk. The child is nervous about going alone but she finishes it successfully. The TV show shows young children are also able to do many things by themselves. After watching the show, Mary decided to have a try. She then found a way on the Internet to make her children interested in the housework. Mary used an app called You Rule Chores. It can make doing the housework more like playing a game. Every time the children finish a chore, they can get a coin (硬币) on the app as a prize. The more chores they do, the more coins they can get. Then they can use the coins to watch their favorite movies or take a trip. Now, Mary’s children can do lots of chores themselves and become more independent. 1．What made Mary change her mind about doing chores? 2．Where does the idea of the TV show come from? 3．How did Mary make her children interested in the housework? 4．What can the children do with the coins? 5．Do you think children should do chores at home? Why or why not? Jim is a thirteen-year-old student. His school finishes at four o’clock in the afternoon every day. His parents usually work until dinner time and get home very late.

My daughter is 16 and my boy is already in junior high school. As they get bigger, our house seems to get smaller. So we want to sell some of our things in a yard sale and give the money to a children’s home. We have already cleared out a lot of things from our bedrooms. We have decided to each sell five things that we no longer use. My son was quite sad at first. Although he has not played with his old toys for a long time, he still wanted to keep them. For example, he has owned a train and railway set since his fourth birthday, and he played with it almost every week until he was about seven. And he did not want to lose his toy monkey, either. He slept next to the monkey every night when he was a child. My daughter was more understanding, although she also felt sad to part with certain toys. As for me, I did not want to give up my football shirts, but, to be honest, I have not played for a while now. I am getting older, too! 1．Why did they decide to have a yard sale? 2．What do they want to do with the money from the sale? 3．When did the son start to play with his train and railway set? 4．How did the daughter feel about selling some of her toys? 5．If you have a yard sale to sell your things, what will you do with the money you raise? It was a sunny day. A little girl sat on a chair outside, holding two apples in her hands. She enjoyed looking at the beautiful clouds in the sky. At that time, her mom came to her and softly asked her, “Sweetie, could you give Mom one apple?” The girl looked at her mom for a second without saying anything. Then she suddenly took a bite (咬) on one apple and just after that quickly she took a bite of another apple which she was holding in her other hand. Seeing this, her mother felt surprised and unhappy. She kept smiling because she didn’t want to show her sadness. Then after a minute, the little girl handed one of the apples to her mom and said, “Mom, take this one. This is the sweeter one.” Suddenly, her mom got to know her mistake of quickly judging (评判) the act of her daughter in the wrong way. A strong feeling went up in her heart—she felt really sorry for her mistake and was deeply touched by what her daughter did. 1．Where did the little girl sit when her mom came to her? （不超过5个单词） 2．How did the mother feel when she saw her daughter taking a bite on both apples? （不超过5个单词） 3．Why did the girl suddenly take a bite on both apples? （不超过10个单词） It was almost Mother’s Day.

First, we visit Mrs Sokol. I call her “The Cook”. She was a well-known cook in Russia. People would come from miles, just to taste the chicken soup. Next, we visit Mr Lipman.. I call him “The Singer” because he loves to sing for us. His voice fills the air, clear and full of energy. I also enjoy Mrs Kagan’s stories about her own experience during the old days. I call her “The Memory Lady”. One day Grandpa got very sick and the doctors said they didn’t think he would get better. It was time to visit the nursing home again. I had to go alone. Everyone was surprised when I told them that my grandpa was ill and in hospital. A few days later, Grandpa was not able to sit up, eat or even speak. I went to the corner of the room so grandpa would not see me cry. Suddenly, I heard someone singing. It was The Singer. Behind her were The Cook and The Memory Lady. The Cook brought her famous home-made chicken soup. The Memory Lady held grandpa’s hand and told us how grandpa once came to visit her in a snowstorm, just to bring her some roses for her birthday. Before I realize it, visiting hours were up. That evening, grandpa called the nurse in and said he was hungry. Soon he began to sit up. Finally, he was able to get out of bed.

Why? . When I was six years old, Grandpa sent me into the woods to gather pecans (山核桃). Pecan picking was quite difficult to me and my little basket was only half full. Just then, something caught my eye. A large squirrel (松鼠) was a few feet away. I watched as he picked up a pecan, hurried to a tree and disappeared in a large hole in the tree. A moment later, he jumped out and climbed down to the ground to pick up another nut. Once again, he took the pecan back to his hiding place. I ran to the tree and looked into the hole. It was filled with pecans! Golden pecans were right there for taking. I scooped (抱起) all of them into my basket. Now it was full! I was so proud of myself. I couldn’t wait to show Grandpa all the pecans. He looked into the basket and said, “Well, how did you find so many?” I told him the truth. Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I’d been in observing the squirrel and his habit. Then he did something that surprised me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently around my shoulders. “That squirrel worked very hard to gather his winter supply of food,” he said, “Now that all of his pecans are gone, don’t you think that little squirrel will survive the cold winter?” “I didn’t think about that.” I said. “I know,” Grandpa said, “But a good person should never take advantage of someone else’s hard work.” I understood. After supper, I did the right thing. 1．Pecan picking was a very hard job to the writer, wasn’t it? 2．Where did the squirrel put the pecans? 3．How did the writer get his basket full? 4．What does the underlined phrase “his habit” refer to? 5．How did the writer feel when his Grandpa handed the basket back to him? 6．What did the writer do after supper? 重难语篇提升练 阅读下文并回答问题。 When I was young, my mom was not good at cooking, but she always wanted to make breakfast and dinner for my dad and me. She thought it was the way to show her love for us. However, the meals she made were pretty special—she would make breakfast food for dinner. One night after school, when Dad and I entered the kitchen, we saw my mom was very upset. As we came closer, we saw at least ten pieces of burnt bread on the desk. I knew that she wasted them again. Before my mom said anything, my dad gave her a hug, grabbed (抓) a piece of bread and said, “Darling, thank you for making the delicious bread for us.” And he turned around to me and asked me what happened at school. I don’t remember what I told him that night, but I do remember that he put some butter (黄油) on the burnt places, and ate it up as usual with every single bite (咬). After dinner, my mom said sorry to us for making the burnt bread. Dad smiled at her and said, “It’s OK. I love burnt bread, dear. You did it very well.” The other day after dinner, I asked him if he really liked that burnt bread. What he said that night is worth remembering for my whole life. He said, “Mom is busy and tired every day. She just doesn’t want us to be hungry. And a bit burnt food never hurts anyone.” As time went by, I became to know that life is not perfect and nobody is perfect. So don’t be angry if the bread gets burnt. No matter what kind of relationship it is in between husband and wife or parent and child, a bit of understanding of each other will make the world better. Be kind to those around you and the sunshine will exactly come around you. 1．How many people are there in the writer’s family? 2．What does the writer’s mom cook for dinner? 3．Why did Dad say he loved the burnt bread? 4．What will you do if your parent does a meal like the writer’s Mom? Please explain. One night I was sitting in my kitchen listening when my fifteen year old son Tommy fought against his younger brother Kevin. Later, Kevin went upstairs with a sad look on his face. Clearly, he lost the fight. However, I didn’t think it was a big problem. About twenty minutes later, when I was walking upstairs, I heard Kevin crying in his room. I knocked on the door and asked, “Kevin, do you want to talk?” There was no answer. I tried again. Still nothing happened. So I took a piece of paper and wrote, “If you don’t want to talk, we can write a note.” And then I slipped (悄悄塞) it under the door. I sat on the floor outside his door and waited for an hour. Finally a note slipped out. As I read it, I couldn’t help crying. It said, “Every time I had a fight with Tommy, I lost. I am small and weak, but he is big and strong. He always won. He even laughed at me and said he didn’t want to play basketball with me. What’s more, you and Dad never said anything and never noticed me. I’m just a nobody here.” He was right about my part. Feeling sorry for him, I wrote back, “________”. I could hear him crying softly. Half an hour later, a note with “thanks” came out. I wrote back, “For what?”   He returned, “loving me.”   Since then, I have tried my best to care about my family members. When one of us notices that someone is unhappy, we smile and say, “Write a note.” 1．Did Kevin win the fight against Tommy? 2．How did Kevin’s mother communicate (交流) with him? 3．According to Kevin’s note, what did Kevin think of his family? 4．What may Kevin’s mother write back to him?

I call her “The Memory Lady”. One day Grandpa got very sick and the doctors said they didn’t think he would get better. It was time to visit the nursing home again. I had to go alone. Everyone was surprised when I told them that my grandpa was ill and in hospital. A few days later, Grandpa was not able to sit up, eat or even speak. I went to the corner of the room so grandpa would not see me cry. Suddenly, I heard someone singing. It was The Singer. Behind her were The Cook and The Memory Lady. The Cook brought her famous home-made chicken soup. The Memory Lady held grandpa’s hand and told us how grandpa once came to visit her in a snowstorm, just to bring her some roses for her birthday. Before I realize it, visiting hours were up. That evening, grandpa called the nurse in and said he was hungry. Soon he began to sit up. Finally, he was able to get out of bed. It is really a surprising event, isn’t it? 1．Where did Mrs Sokol work as a cook? . 2．Why did the writer cry a few days later? . 3．What did grandpa give Mrs Kagan as the birthday gift? . 4．What would you like to do to help others?

When I was six years old, Grandpa sent me into the woods to gather pecans (山核桃). Pecan picking was quite difficult to me and my little basket was only half full. Just then, something caught my eye. A large squirrel (松鼠) was a few feet away. I watched as he picked up a pecan, hurried to a tree and disappeared in a large hole in the tree. A moment later, he jumped out and climbed down to the ground to pick up another nut. Once again, he took the pecan back to his hiding place. I ran to the tree and looked into the hole. It was filled with pecans! Golden pecans were right there for taking. I scooped (抱起) all of them into my basket. Now it was full! I was so proud of myself. I couldn’t wait to show Grandpa all the pecans. He looked into the basket and said, “Well, how did you find so many?” I told him the truth. Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I’d been in observing the squirrel and his habit. Then he did something that surprised me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently around my shoulders. “That squirrel worked very hard to gather his winter supply of food,” he said, “Now that all of his pecans are gone, don’t you think that little squirrel will survive the cold winter?” “I didn’t think about that.” I said. “I know,” Grandpa said, “But a good person should never take advantage of someone else’s hard work.” I understood. After supper, I did the right thing. 1．Pecan picking was a very hard job to the writer, wasn’t it? 2．Where did the squirrel put the pecans? 3．How did the writer get his basket full? 4．What does the underlined phrase “his habit” refer to? 5．How did the writer feel when his Grandpa handed the basket back to him? 6．What did the writer do after supper? 【答案】1．Yes, it was. 2．In a large hole in the tree. 3．He scooped all the pecans from the squirrel’s hole into his basket. 4．The squirrel’s habit of picking up pecans and storing them in the tree hole. 5．Surprised. 6．He returned the pecans to the squirrel’s hole. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者小时候在爷爷的教导下，通过观察松鼠的行为学会了尊重他人劳动成果的故事。 1．根据文章第1段“Pecan picking was quite difficult to me and my little basket was only half full.”可知，捡山核桃对作者来说很困难。故填Yes, it was. 2．根据文章第1段“A moment later, he jumped out and climbed down to the ground to pick up another nut. Once again, he took the pecan back to his hiding place.”以及第2段“I ran to the tree and looked into the hole.

Now it was full!”可知，作者把松鼠洞里的山核桃都舀进了自己的篮子。故填He scooped all the pecans from the squirrel’s hole into his basket. 4．根据文章第3段“Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I’d been in observing the squirrel and his habit.”以及前文描述松鼠捡山核桃并储存在树洞的行为可知，“his habit”指的是松鼠捡山核桃并储存在树洞的习惯。故填The squirrel’s habit of picking up pecans and storing them in the tree hole. 5．根据文章第3段“Then he did something that surprised me.”可知，作者感到惊讶。故填Surprised. 6．根据文章最后一段“After supper, I did the right thing.”以及前文爷爷的教导可知，作者晚饭后把山核桃还给了松鼠。故填He returned the pecans to the squirrel’s hole. 重难语篇提升练 阅读下文并回答问题。 When I was young, my mom was not good at cooking, but she always wanted to make breakfast and dinner for my dad and me. She thought it was the way to show her love for us. However, the meals she made were pretty special—she would make breakfast food for dinner. One night after school, when Dad and I entered the kitchen, we saw my mom was very upset. As we came closer, we saw at least ten pieces of burnt bread on the desk. I knew that she wasted them again. Before my mom said anything, my dad gave her a hug, grabbed (抓) a piece of bread and said, “Darling, thank you for making the delicious bread for us.” And he turned around to me and asked me what happened at school. I don’t remember what I told him that night, but I do remember that he put some butter (黄油) on the burnt places, and ate it up as usual with every single bite (咬). After dinner, my mom said sorry to us for making the burnt bread. Dad smiled at her and said, “It’s OK. I love burnt bread, dear. You did it very well.” The other day after dinner, I asked him if he really liked that burnt bread. What he said that night is worth remembering for my whole life. He said, “Mom is busy and tired every day. She just doesn’t want us to be hungry. And a bit burnt food never hurts anyone.” As time went by, I became to know that life is not perfect and nobody is perfect. So don’t be angry if the bread gets burnt.

One night I was sitting in my kitchen listening when my fifteen year old son Tommy fought against his younger brother Kevin. Later, Kevin went upstairs with a sad look on his face. Clearly, he lost the fight. However, I didn’t think it was a big problem. About twenty minutes later, when I was walking upstairs, I heard Kevin crying in his room. I knocked on the door and asked, “Kevin, do you want to talk?” There was no answer. I tried again. Still nothing happened. So I took a piece of paper and wrote, “If you don’t want to talk, we can write a note.” And then I slipped (悄悄塞) it under the door. I sat on the floor outside his door and waited for an hour. Finally a note slipped out. As I read it, I couldn’t help crying. It said, “Every time I had a fight with Tommy, I lost. I am small and weak, but he is big and strong. He always won. He even laughed at me and said he didn’t want to play basketball with me. What’s more, you and Dad never said anything and never noticed me. I’m just a nobody here.” He was right about my part. Feeling sorry for him, I wrote back, “________”. I could hear him crying softly. Half an hour later, a note with “thanks” came out.
