阅读理解。     Even before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family. Once I came out
of the kitchen, complaining, "Mom, I can"t peel potatoes. I have only one hand."
     Mom never looked up from sewing. "You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes," she told
me. "And don"t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!"
    In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the
monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids
behind me laughed, and I went home crying.
     That night I told Mom about it. She hugged me, and I saw her "we"ll see about that" look. The next
afternoon, she took me back to school. On the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.
    "Now, pull up with your right arm," she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right
hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow. Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every
rung I reached. I"ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs, I looked down at the kids who were standing
with their mouths open.
     One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mom come into my room."
Mom," I said, weeping, "none of the boys would dance with me."
     For a long time, I didn"t hear anything. Then she said, "Oh, honey, someday you"ll be beating those boys
off with a bat." Her voice was faint and cracking. I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her
cheeks. Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf. She had never let me see her tears. 1. Which of the following expressions can be used most suitably to describe Mom"s attitude when she made
   the child peel potatoes? A. Cruel.
B. Serious.
C. Strict.
D. Cold. 2. From the passage,we know monkey bars can help a child train ____. A. the skill to throw and catch things
B. the speed of one"s hand movement
C. the strength and skill to hang and sway
D. the bodily skill to rotate (旋转) round a bar 3. What does the sentence "I saw her "we"ll see about that" look" imply (暗示)? A. Mom believed every aim could be achieved if you stuck to it.
B. The race across monkey bars was not difficult enough for a child to give up.
C. Mom was determined to prove she herself was better than the teacher.
D. What the child had said brought Mom great attraction and curiosity. 4. When the child looked down at the kids, they were standing with their mouths open because _____. A. they felt sorry for what they had done before
B. they were afraid the author might fall off and get hurt
C. they wanted to see what the author would do on the bars

     Having returned from her round trip, the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station. "The
railway owes me￡12," she said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the office. "You sold me a ticket
for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It
cost me 12."
     Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. "Come into the office, Madam," he
said politely. "I"ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd."
     The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There
was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He couldn"t have sold her a
ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. "You look sunburnt," he said to her. "Did
you have a nice holiday in Jersey?"
     "Yes," she answered, shyly. "The beach was lovely. And I can swim too."
    "That"s fine," said Harry. "My little girl can"t swim a bit yet. Of course, she"s only three..."
     "I"m four," the child said proudly. "I"ll be four and a half."
     Harry turned to the mother. "I remember your ticket, Madam," he said. "But you didn"t get one for your
daughter, did you?"
     "Er, well..." the woman looked at the child. "I mean...she hasn"t started school yet. She"s only four."
     "A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam. A child"s return ticket to Jersey costs...let me see...
￡13. 50. So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe the railway 1.50. The law is the law, but since the
fault was mine..."
     The woman stood up, took the child"s hand and left the office.

2. Harry was worried because _____.

A. the woman was angry with him
B. he had not done his work properly
C. the Jersey timetable was wrong

A. because he was in difficulty and did not know what to do
B. because he had a little girl about the same age as this girl
C. because he wanted to be friendly to the little girl who looked so nice
D. when he suddenly realized that he could find a way out from the little girl

4. When Harry said,"The law is the law, but since the fault was mine..." he meant that _____.

A. they must follow it without other choice, even though the fault was his
B. he had to be strict with the woman because of the law, although he didn"t want to
C. the woman had to pay him￡1.50 and the railway would pay her for the hotel
D. she should pay￡1.50, but he had made a mistake, so she could go without paying

     I grew up in a community called Estepona. I was 16 when one morning, Dad told me I could drive him
into a   1   village called Mijas, on condition that I took the car in to be   2   at a nearby garage. I readily
accepted. I drove Dad into Mijas, and   3   to pick him up at 4 pm, and then dropped off the car at the   4  .
With several hours to spare, I went to a theater.   5   when the last movie finished, it was six. I was two
hours late!
    I knew Dad would be angry if he   6   I"d been watching movies. So I decided not to tell him the truth.
When I   7   there I apologized for being late, and told him I"d   8   as quickly as I could, but that the car
had needed a major repair. I"ll never forget the   9   he gave me. "I"m disappointed you  10  you have to lie
to me, Jason." Dad looked at me again. "When you didn"t  11 , I called the garage to ask if there were any
12 , and they told me you hadn"t yet picked up the car." I felt  13  as I weakly told him the real reason. A
  14  passed through Dad as he listened attentively. "I"m angry with  15 . I realize I"ve failed as a father. I"m
going to walk home now and think seriously about  16  I"ve gone wrong all these years." "But Dad, it"s 18
miles!" My protests and apologies were  17 . Dad walked home that day. I drove behind him,  18  him all
the way, but he walked silently.
     Seeing Dad in so much  19  and emotional pain was my most painful experience. However, it was  20
the most successful lesson. I have never lied since.
