阅读理解     My friend got married. His mother carried two bags of cotton from the countryside by bus and train
to his city. After arriving at the city, there was still a long way to his house without any bus passing by the
house. His mother walked to his home breathlessly for 40 minutes without taking a taxi in order to save
money.
     My friend felt bitter as well as funny as his mother’s deeds. He pointed to the cashmere (山羊绒) and
silk quilts and said, “So long as you have money, you can buy anything in the supermarket. There is no
need for you to carry so much cotton here in such a long way.”
      But his mother insisted and said, “The cotton of this year is light and warmth-keeping. Have a try and
you will know!”
     Maybe every parent is the same, caring for their children with stubborn love without caring about
whether they know or like it.
     This early spring, I went to visit my grandmother. We had dry beans stew (炖菜), eggplant salad
bar, sauce radish (酱萝卜条)for our dinner, all of which were dried by my grandmother last autumn
and tasted wonderful. I loved the dishes to my heart’s content and could not help praising them again and
again.
     After a few days, my grandmother, who seldom visited us, came to my home and unpacked her bag,
smilin gly taking out bags of dried eggplants, dried beans and dried vegetable. She told me that I left so
hastily last time that she forgot to give me some of these foods, so she took this chance to bring me what I
liked.
     I was speechless at that time. Due to my casual complimentary her food, my grandmother , a nearly
70-year-old lady, by taking three buses from the west of the city to the east, came to my home with the
food I liked. But she was bus-sick in life and even seldom went strolling in the street.
     My pretty girlfriend had a failed marriage in the past. After divorce, her parents shed the deepest
protection and care to her by helping her attend to the child and offering financial aids. Her parents’love
made her pull herself together and forgot the man who had hurt her before.
     Nonetheless, her father, an honest and upright old man, after hearing his ex-son-in-law got promoted
in his company, felt terrifically irritatedand went to his company to question his boss why a
philanderingman with corrupt conducts could get promoted. The whole office fell into a mess immediately
and many staff just watched on the sidelines. Some people even whispered lightly, "It is a new era now
and the relationship between men and women is very open. No one would care about that any more!"
     The old man stood silently in the office with his hands shivering and eyes tearing.
     That night, my girlfriend cried heavily in front of me. I asked her whether it was her father’s stupid
deeds that made her feel humiliated. But she said that she felt guilty for her dad and that though the rest
of the whole world betrayed her, her old father would still back her up and help her get the justice she
deserved, just as when she was young and the neighboring boy grabbed her ball, her father would get it
back for her. However, this changed world was no longer the stage for her old father and his deeds
became funnily obsolete. No one managed to see the real and ever-lasting love to his daughter behind his
seemingly rude behaviors.
     Now we have grown up, so much so that we could support our family and have our own children.
But in our parents’ heart, they are still worried that we do not have sufficient quilts and dried vegetables.
They would not feel troubled to bring all these to us regardless of long tough journey. They even would
not like us to suffer a bit and try all means to protect us without caring about whether what they do is
awkward and stupid or no
     Who in the world would love us so deeply and relentlessly without asking for any repay? Only our
parents!

1. What does the author want to tell us?

A. The love from our parents is real and deep though sometime it doesn"t appear so.
B. The love from our parents is awkward sometime, which is rather annoying.
C. Children should appreciate parents" love because their life is so hard.
D. The world is changing so the love of parents should change too.

2. What does the underlined world "humiliate" in the eleventh paragraph mean?

A. guilty        
B. Moved
C. happy      
D. ashamed      

3. How many examples are there in the passage?

A. One        
B. Two        
C. Three      
D. four

4. After the author"s girlfriend"s former husband got promoted, her farther _____?

A. congratulated him    
B. Made his daughter marry him again
C. had a quarrel with him  
D. argued with his boss

5.What kind of woman is the author"s grandmother?

A. upright and honest

     When you are little,  the whole world feels like a big playground.I was living in Conyers,  Georgia the
summer it all happened.I was a second grader,  but my best friend Stephanie was only in the first grade.
Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own way.
     It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie"s basement.As I opened the
basement door,  before us lay the biggest room,  full of amazing things like guns,  dolls,  and old clothes.I
ran downstairs,  and spotted a red steel can.It was paint.I looked beyond it and there lay even more paint
in bright colors like purple,  orange,  blue and green.
     "Stephanie,  I just found us a project for the day.Get some paintbrushes.We are fixing to paint."She
screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work.We gathered
all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard.There on the road in front of my
house,  we painted big stripes(条纹)of colors across the pavement(人行道). Stripe by stripe,  our colors
turned into a beautiful rainbow.It was fantastic!
     The sun was starting to sink.I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car.It was
my mother.I couldn"t wait to show her my masterpiece.The car pulled slowly into the driveway and from
the look on my mother"s face,  I could tell that I was in deep trouble.
     My mother shut the car door and walked towards me.Her eyes glaring,  she shouted,  "What in the
world were you thinking?I understood when you made castles out of leaves,  and climbed the neighbors"
trees,  but this!Come inside right now!"I stood there glaring back at her for a minute,  angry because she
had insulted(侮辱)my art.
     "Now go clean it up!"Mother and I began cleaning the road.Tears ran down my cheeks as I saw my
beautiful rainbow turn into black cement.
     Though years have now passed,  I still wonder where my rainbow has gone.I wonder if,  maybe when
I get older,  I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away.I guess we all need some sort of
rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful.
