举一反三
My father died in December. He had spent the last several years in hospital, and my mother spent a lot of her time        him. That is without doubt, a     situation for any family. And the       was a team of fairly frustrated family members.
My biggest frustration was trying to        why he didn’t make choices that would       him to be involved more fully in the lives of his grandchildren. Yet he     each and every one of them. Every morning he asked my mother which of his grandbabies was going to       that day. He had frequent visits from his collection of loving grandkids. Kids would have the place     up instantly—toys everywhere, cushions off the couches and the TV channel       to their station. Every visit was a kid invasion into his space. Interestingly, he was not at all bothered by the      or chaos at all. He was never       with them and he certainly never shouted at any child. Visits ended with       and kisses.
I felt that relationship wasn’t good enough because he didn’t actually do anything        my children. My dad didn’t read to the children, and certainly        played a board game or did a puzzle with them. He didn’t take them out for        or do any of the other things I saw active grandparents doing with their grandchildren. It made me sad that he was        to get on with the kids.
A couple of weeks after his death, my 9-year-old daughter turned up in my bedroom at midnight to share a
      of him done by herself. Included in the picture were several messages and        —one for each day since he had died. The most striking one to me was“I loved EVERYTHING about you, Grandpa”.
Apparently, I was       . All that time I thought he wasn’t doing anything with his grandchildren, but he was very actively doing the thing that was most        to them. He loved them. And it was all they needed.

As I was busy working on my work plan in my bedroom, I could hear my four children playing upstairs. Suddenly, I heard the children running down the stairs and shouting, “Freddie, Freddie.” I heard the word “window” and rushed outside, heart in mouth. My three-year old son Freddie was lying on his side on the ground. I cried for my husband Simon to dial 999 and within minutes the air ambulance arrived. They quickly took him in the helicopter. During the flight, Freddie was looking at me and I remember thinking was a good sign, but then his eyes began to roll. As the doctors tried to stabilize(稳定) him, I couldn’t believe what was happening.
When we arrived at the hospital in Portsmouth, there were some doctors and nurses waiting for us and they immediately set to work on Freddie. I was hopelessly wishing everything would be alright, but Freddie had broken his skull in two places and blood clots were forming in his brain. He needed surgery(外科手术), and only a surgeon at another hospital in Bristol could do it. This meant another helicopter ride, but we couldn’t go with Freddie because there was no enough space. Simon and I drove the long 130 miles from our home in north Devon in silence. Neither of us dared say what we were thinking, “What if we get there and he’s dead?” “Is he going to be brain-damaged?”
Freddie was just coming out of surgery when we arrived. The surgeon said it had gone well. When I finally saw him, I hardly recognize my child—he was covered in tubes and there were wires coming out of his head.
On the third day, Simon went home to see our three girls and to pick up some clean clothes for us. While he was gone, the pressure in Freddie’s brain suddenly increased. He was taken into theater again and this time I fell apart. Luckily, the surgery managed to stabilize Freddie. After almost a week, Freddie was finally woken up. When he opened his eyes, he looked at me. He didn’t say anything, but I knew straight away that it was my old Freddie, and that he was going to be alright. Over the next two weeks, his recovery went well. After help with learning to swallow again and encouragement with speaking, he was soon playing with his Gruffalo cards and eating meals by himself.
I still don’t know how the accident happened, but we got some idea from our girls. Clearly Freddie and Minnie had been sitting on the window ledge, and Freddie must have opened it to look out and fallen 20 feet onto the ground below.
The guilt I feel is awful— for weeks I was full of “ if onlys”, and we put window locks everywhere. Six months later, although the accident seems a lifetime ago, it has changed me. I feel differently about life now. I’ve left my job to put my children first. I want to spend every minute with them.

Dear Mr. Watson,
CLAIM AL54323432–-STORM DAMAGE TO ROOF
I received a cheque for $623 dated 26 January in payment of my recent claim(索赔). However, I wish to tell you how upset I have been by the way your Claims Assessor, Mr. Michael Tan, handled this claim.
When Mr. Tan first called me, he specifically told me that he believed I had been overcharged, and he would expect to pay that price for work on a double garage, rather than a single garage like mine. Mr. Tan suggested that I neither use nor recommend this contractor again. He continued to tell me it was unlikely for me to receive full payment. Never during this conversation did he mention that the reason for not receiving full payment was because of the nature of my insurance policy.
Consequently, I wrote to Mr. Lance Ashe to complain about his pricing, stating that I was very upset thinking that he could have taken advantage by overcharging a 73-year-old woman. Mr. Ashe telephoned me immediately and explained his charges in detail. He later reported back to me that Mr. Tan explained that I would not receive full payment because of the type of policy I hold, which does not cover wear and tear. This was the first time this issue had been brought to my attention, so you can imagine my surprise.
When I received Mr. Tan’s letter of 2 February, this situation was explained. If this had been explained in the first place I would have accepted it and would not have questioned Mr. Ashe’s charges. Instead, by telling me initially that I had been overcharged for this work, he caused a great deal of upset, not only for me but also for Mr. Ashe.
I believed this claim was handled badly by Mr. Tan from the beginning. Therefore, a great deal of embarrassment has been caused over this issue.
I felt you should know how disappointed and upset I am. I trust you will look into this and ensure that such claims are handled more appropriately in the future.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Richard
小题1:The author writes this letter to ______.
A.inform the manager of a payment
B.complain about a mishandled case
C.demand an apology from Mr. Watson
D.require the manager to fire Mr. Tan
小题2:The underlined words “the contractor” in Para.2 refer to ______.
A.Mr. TanB.Mrs. RichardC.Mr. AsheD.Mr. Watson
小题3:The author could not receive full payment because _______.
A.her policy doesn’t cover some of the items
B.the contractor overcharged her for the work
C.Mr. Watson doesn’t take the matter seriously
D.she spent too much money fixing her garage
小题4:We can learn from the passage that Mr. Tan works in a/an _______.
A.welfare organizationB.nursing house
C.local affairs officeD.insurance company

I had the meanest mother in the whole world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal, eggs or toast. While others had Cokes and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different from the other kids’ too. But at least, I wasn’t alone in my sufferings. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.
My mother insisted upon knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and where we were going. She insisted if we said we’d be gone an hour, then we should be gone one hour or less -- not one hour and one minute. And she always insisted upon us telling the truth. Now you can see how mean she was.
The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by nine each night and up at eight the next morning. We couldn’t sleep till noon like our friends. So while they slept - my mother actually had the courage to break the Child Labor Law. She made us work. We had to wash dishes, make beds, and learn to cook. We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath every day. The other kids always wore their clothes for days. We reached the height of disgrace because she made our clothes herself, just to save money. I believe she laid awake at night thinking up mean things to do to us.
Through the years, things didn’t improve a bit. We could not lie in bed “sick” like our friends did, and miss school. Our marks in school had to live up to expectations. Our friends’ report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, being as different as she was, would be satisfied with nothing less than ugly black marks.
As the years rolled by, first one and then the other of us was put to shame. We graduated from high school. With our mother behind us, talking, hitting and demanding respect, none of us was allowed the pleasure of being a drop-out.
My mother was a complete failure as a mother. Out of four children, a couple of us attained some higher education. None of us have ever been arrested or divorced. Each of my brothers served his time in the service of this country. She forced us to grow up into God-fearing, educated, honest adults. I am now trying to raise my three children. I am filled with pride when my children call me mean. Why? Because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the whole world.
小题1:The author’s mother wanted her children to _________.
A.do their best at school and be educated and respected citizens
B.be top students in school and graduate with honors
C.stop seeing her friends who pretended to be sick to skip classes
D.bring home colored report cards like her friends did

A.The author has a deep hatred for her mother.
B.The author’s mother set timetables for her children whenever they went out.
C.Some of the children weren’t able to go to college because of their mean mother.
D.As a parent, the author is following her mother’s example.
小题3:It can be inferred from the passage that________.                                                                                                                                                                                                      
A.All the other kids at school studied better than the author.
B.The author worked hard and usually got good grades in studies.
C.Mother was punished for breaking the Labor Law.
D.The author’s family lived a miserable life.
