His house was only a short walk from mine, but I was already wet because of the rain. I knocked on his door and stepped into his house. Warm steam（蒸汽）came from the kitchen. It touched my nose and suddenly I felt like I was 8 years old again. Dad was making Nana’s special sauce. Growing up, Nana would make us an Italian feast every Sunday after church. She would slowly cook her spaghetti sauce for hours. When it was ready, we would mix it in the spaghetti and sprinkle （撒上）cheese on top. It always left our bellies full, our hearts happy and our house smelling yummy. I sat down when Dad made me a plate. I felt like a boy again. We talked about those old times and laughed over the memories, both good and bad. And I noticed something, too. I didn’t feel cold anymore. My heart was warm, my spirit was light, and both my face and stomach were smiling. Dad and Nana have been gone for years now. I still miss them both every single day. Although my daughter and I both know how to make Nana’s special sauce, we don’t cook it as often as we should. No matter how hard I try, I can never get it quite right. Maybe it was just the love with which they cooked it that made it so delicious. Either way, this winter, I am going to make it again. I need its warmth. I need its goodness. And when I cook it with love, I know that Nana and Dad will be smiling down on me from Heaven. 11. What brought the author back to his childhood? ______ A. A cold gray winter day. B.

B. Surprised and happy. C. Sad and disappointed. D. Warm and relaxed. 13. According to the author, what made the sauce taste better? ______ A. The love put into it. B. The person he cooked it with. C. The kitchen. D. The time of year. B Dear children, Table manners are about being kind to and considerate (考虑周到) of others. Having proper table manners is one way people judge others, and we don’t want people to think that we are rude (粗鲁的), do we? Whether in a restaurant or in a home, here are some basic table manners for kids: ①Eat with a fork unless the food is meant to be eaten with fingers. Only babies eat with fingers. ②Sit up and do not hunch (弯背) over your plate: wrists (手腕) or arms (前臂) can rest on the table, or hands on lap. ③Chew with your mouth closed. No one wants to see food being chewed up. This includes no talking with your mouth full. ④Don’t make any rude comments about any food being served. It will hurt someone’s feelings. Always say thank you when you’re served something. ⑤Eat slowly. It takes someone a long time to prepare the food, so enjoy it slowly. Wait about 5 seconds after swallowing to get another forkful (一叉子的量) . ⑥Don’t reach over someone’s plate for something. Politely ask the dish to be passed to you. ⑦When eating at someone’s home or being a guest of someone at a restaurant, always thank the host and tell him or her how much you enjoy it. At least say that you like the dinner, for example, the dessert is great. 14. The writer writes this passage mainly for _________. A. foreigners B. kids C. parents D. teachers 15.
