hands twice and said the words,"Oh, yes!"I opened my mouth in 12 and for that moment I was the one
who could not speak.When my heart 13 started beating again, I looked over at the assistant teacher to
find her also 14 . Through music, we had made an awesome connection.
Several years later, I met Vanessa on the street in town.She waved with a big 15 on her face and

D. rhythm | | 阅读理解 | I was off to go back to work one evening when I saw my two children were busy sewing things on the sewing machine. My 11yearold daughter was, in the midst of her project, going to assist her elder brother
in making a little cushion. I left, and after a few hours returned to find a mess in the kitchen and in the front room, and both children sitting in front of the television.
Having had a long day, I was too tired to greet them and then I noticed the material my daughter had
used. It had been purchased to make a colorcoordinated (颜色协调的) baby blanket, and now had
chunks (块) cut out of almost every piece of fabric. Not stopping to listen, I exploded at the children and
explained how angry I was at what had been done.
My daughter listened to me sheepishly, not trying to defend herself at all, but the pain could be seen
written across her face. She retreated to her room, and spent some time there alone before she came out
to say good night and once again apologized for the mistake she had made.
A few hours later, as I was preparing to go to bed, I found that there on my bed lay a beautiful, little
cushion made out of the forbidden fabric, with the words "I LOVE MOM". Alongside it was a note
apologizing again, and the innocence in which she had taken the fabric.
To this day, I still get tears in my eyes when I think of how I reacted and still feel the pain of my
actions. It was I who then went to her and apologized for my actions. I display with great pride the
cushion on my bed, and constantly use it to remind me that nothing in this world is greater than a child"s
love.
1. The underlined word can be replaced by "________".
A. hopefully came up
B. hopefully went back
C. quietly came up
D. quietly went back
2. What did the children do?
A. They cut out the material and made it into a baby blanket.
B. They cut the material into pieces and used them to clean the TV set.
C. They cut the material into pieces on which they wrote apologizing words.
D. They made a cushion with the material to show their love for Mom.
3. What can be inferred from the text?
A. The two children are good at sewing.
B. The two children are introverted (内向的).
C. The mother is often rude to her children.
D. The mother is regretful for what she did.
4. The passage is mainly to tell about________.
A. a mom"s tears
B. a mom"s love
C. a child"s love
D. a child"s complaint |
