     "Grandma, Grandma, tell us a story!" Four darling children sat by my feet, looking up at me
expectantly.
     Suddenly, we were interrupted clapping. "Terrific, " the director said, stepping up the stage from the
aisle(过道). "Except, could you kids face the audience a bit more?"
     The kids shifted to face the empty seats, which would be filled in a few days for the church play.
"Perfect, " the director said. "Now, Grandma, read to your grandchildren." A pang of sadness hit me. If
only I could read to my real grandchild!
     I had a granddaughter, but I"d never met her. Sixteen years earlier my son was involved in a relationship that ended badly. But out of it came a blessing: a baby girl named Lena. I hoped to be a grandmother to
her-but shortly after the birth, the mother moved without any address left. Over the years, I asked around
town to try and find my son"s exwife(前妻), but it seemed that she didn"t want to be found.
     I"d just joined this new church a week earlier, and was at once offered the part of Grandma in the play. At least now I could pretend to be a grandma. The rehearsals went well, and finally the day of the show
arrived. The performance was great. "You all looked so natural up there, " one of my friends said.
     Afterward, we went to the church basement for refreshments(茶点). I walked over to one of the girls in the play, Rehearsals had been such a whirlwind(一片忙乱) that we never really got to talk. "How"s my
granddaughter?" I joked.
     "Fine!" she answered. Just then, someone else walked up and asked the girl her name.
     I wasn"t sure I heard the girl"s answer correctly. But it made me ask her another question. "What"s your mother"s name?"
     She told me, I was still in shock. "And what"s your father"s name?" I asked. She told me. It was my
son.
     She"d only started going to that church a week before I did. Since that day of the play, we"ve stayed
close. Not long ago, she even made me a great grandma.

阅读理解 It was Thanksgiving morning. I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step. "Any old papers, lady?" asked one of them. I was busy. I wanted to say "no" until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals(凉鞋), wet with heavy snow. "Come in and I"ll make you a cup of hot cocoa." They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking. The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, "Lady, are you rich?" "Am I rich? Pity, no!" I looked at my wornout slipcovers(椅套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟)carefully and said, "Your cups match your saucers." They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful. Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched. I tasted the potatoes and stirred(搅动)the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too. I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy marks of little sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am. 1. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Lady, are you rich? B. A story of Thanksgiving Day C. Don"t forget how rich you are D. Does cups and saucers match well? 2. The writer let the two children come in and served them well because________. A. she wanted to sell old papers to them B. she wanted to invite them to her Thanksgiving party C. she showed great pity and care on them D. she had the same experience as them in the past 3. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. The girl thought the writer was rich just because she wanted to make the writer happy. B. The writer had thought she wasn"t rich because her supplies were not expensive. C. If cups and saucers match well, they are a best pair even though cheap. D. After hearing what they said, the writer seemed to understand what a rich life was. 4. The writer left the muddy marks of little sandals on the floor for a while to________. A. show that she was a kindhearted lady B. remind her that she shouldn"t forget how rich she was C. leave room for readers to think about what being rich is D. prove that she had understood what meant being rich 5. It can be inferred from the text that whether you are rich depends on________. A. how much money you have made B. what attitude you have had towards life C. the way you help others D. your social relationship
