Section 6 “Anne of Green Gables”的课文习读环节
[课时检测]
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
The last time I visited my parents, I borrowed a novel from the shelves in my old bedroom.The books there once belonged to me, but over the decades, my father has taken over the space.It's fitting.
I grew up in a house full of books, free to explore anything, as long as I returned it.But that's harder now.My parents, in their 80s, still live in Manhattan, while I'm in Los Angeles.The book I grabbed was a novel by S.A.Cosby.At first, I was surprised my father knew of him, but why not? For as long as I can remember, he's been a regular at his neighborhood bookstore.He used to say he wouldn't mind aging as long as he could read.Even now, I often find him with a book, though I fear he's begun to fall out of the narrative (叙述).
I didn't read the book until I was back in Southern California.I didn't want my father to know I had the book.I didn't want him to feel any stress about it, though the two of us have been talking books ever since I was 12.I didn't want to know what he might or might not recall.
Opening it felt like opening a conversation with my father, retracing his steps and reading through his eyes.I enjoyed the novel, though that's beside the point.What struck me most was a plotline about feeling sad for one's parents, a process I'm beginning to understand.When I finished, I ran my fingers over my father's mark on the cover, those letters he'd pressed into the cover with a hand-held metal press, spelling out a name the same as mine.Then I slipped the book into my suitcase, certain to return it next time I visit.

B
When I had my first baby, after battling being unable to produce babies for three years, I received a gift at the hospital with a note: “To Jonathan — we're so glad you're here.” I've always remembered that note — and the person who sent it. My heartache and fear that I'd never have a child had been swept away and I felt a great joy. That little note made me feel that someone else understood my happiness. Oddly enough, she was not a close friend. But at that moment, we shared a special bond.
I learned that day that there's nothing like a personal note. In this age of impersonal (缺乏人情味的) technology, of computers and recorded voices on telephones, the hand-written note makes a human connection. And not just to the receiver, but to the writer as well. It feels good to express your sincere thoughts. When you put pen to paper, very important feelings slip out, feelings that you might ordinarily keep to yourself. This is especially true with emotions such as, “I love you” or “You're important to me”.That may seem embarrassing to actually say.
Some of the best notes are written by children, precisely because kids are so open and honest. They're able to express powerful emotions in simple ways, as my young son did one Mother's Day: “This comes from the heart, not from the store,” he wrote on his homemade card, anxious lest I mistake it for one mere money can buy. On another occasion, he scrawled,_“Happy birthday — I'm glad you're my mom!”
Notes from youngsters are very special, especially if the receiver is seriously ill. When a 70-year-old man suffered a heart attack, his 8-year-old grandson wrote, “Please get well, Grandpa. Who else will play cards with me? Who will tell me stories? I love you, Grandpa.” Did this note help his grandpa recover in record time? Doctors might not think so, but I do.

7.What does the underlined word “scrawled” in paragraph 3 mean?
