阅读理解。     The host poured the tea into the cup and placed it on the small table in front of his guests, who were a
father and his daughter, and put the lid on the cup with a clink. Obviously thinking of something, he hurried
into the inner room, leaving the thermos (热水瓶) on the table. His two guests heard a chest of drawers
opening and rustling.
     They remained sitting in the sitting room, the ten-year-old daughter looking at the flowers outside the
window, the father just about to take his cup, when the crash came, right there in the sitting room. Something
was hopelessly broken.
     It was the thermos, which had fallen to the floor. The girls looked over her shoulder suddenly, shocked,
staring. It was mysterious; neither of them had touched it, not even a little bit. True, it hadn"t stood steadily
when their host placed it on the table, but it hadn"t fallen then.
     The crash of the thermos caused the host, with a box of sugar cubes in his hand, to rush back from the
inner room. He looked foolishly at the steaming floor and blurted out. "It doesn"t matter! It doesn"t matter!"
     The father started to say something. Then he said in a low voice, "Sorry I touched it and it fell."
     "It doesn"t matter," the host said.
     Later, when they left the house,the daughter said, "Daddy, did you touch it?"
     "No. But it stood so close to me."
     "But you didn"t touch it. I saw your reflection in the window. You were sitting perfectly still."
     The father laughed. "Then how would you explain the cause of its fall?"
     "The thermos fell by itself. The floor is uneven. It wasn"t steady when Mr. Li put it there. Daddy, why
did you say that?"
     "That won"t do,girl. It sounds more acceptable when I say I knocked it down. There are things which
people accept less true it sounds." The daughter was lost in silence for a while. Then she said, "Can you
explain it only this way?"
     "Only this way." her father said. 1. Which statement is a possible main idea of this story? A. People seldom tell the truth.
B. You can"t always make people believe the truth.
C. If you try to defend yourself,people will believe you.
D. People never believe others.2. It can be inferred from the story that the father _____. A. didn"t know Mr. Li very well
B. was sorry that he hadn"t told the host the truth
C. didn"t think Mr. Li would believe the truth
D. was glad that he had told the truth 3. From the story,we know that the daughter _____. A. thought her father should have told the truth
B. knew the thermos would fall and stepped out
C. thought her father shouldn"t have told the truth
D. thought her father must have known the cause 4. From the passage, we can see the reason why the thermos fell was that _____. A. the table was too small
B. the father sat too close to the thermos
C. the father wanted to help himself with some water
D. something impossible to explain happened

     The D-word, it"s most people"s worst fear, but, in a bittersweet way, it was my greatest joy. In divorce,
you gain something and you   1   something.
     I"m thirteen years old, and I know what it   2   like when parents split up, because mine did last fall.
     My parents had been   3   for years. When my father started cheating my mom things went downhill, I   4   
they would divorce instantly. I tried to picture my life after my parents   5   up-living at my mom"s house during
the week, and my father"s house on the weekend. But my mom decided to be the bigger person and try to   6   
it out, so that my siblings and I would know   7   it was like to have a family. Things didn"t get better,   8  .
     I would always strain to hear the quiet   9   they didn"t want me to hear. They weren"t getting along and they
weren"t happy,
     My father has never really been there for me. He was there physically but not emotionally. He yelled a lot and
never really showed any  10  in going to my piano recitals or watching my dance performances,  11  we asked
him to do and he had another  12 -a lie. We just ignored it and went on with our lives as if nothing was the
matter. 
     Then last summer, there was real  13  in paradise. My siblings and I want out to Los Angeles to pursue acting
and while we were out there, my father  14  my mom again, and this time my brother, sister, and I all found out.
We decided to stay in L.A and leave my father in Florida.
     Our 15  resulted in divorce. We didn"t know if we were making the right  16  or not. My mom went back and forth. She wanted what was best for her children. She asked me if I thought we should go back to Florida or stay
in Los Angeles, I replied mom "There is nothing in Florida for us any more. Out here in L.A, we have so many
  17 , that can come true. We shouldn"t let him abuse us any more." Finally, we are free.
     The  18  was the best thing that had ever happened to me and the rest of my family. I now know that taking
chances is the best thing to do. I accept that  19  doesn"t always. If, in your heart, you can feel something that is
not right, then follow your heart. In the end it"s going to be your only true guide, to have and to hold, for richer
or poorer, your heart will never  20  you down.

     During my elementary school years, I used to compare my mom with my best friend Tiffany"s mom.
     Tiffany"s mom always gave her lots of money to buy the most fashionable clothes and favorite food. Her
morn allowed her to do anything she liked. I really admired Tiffany. My mom didn"t give me much pocket
money and she always told me that I should behave my self. I was annoyed with her.
     Whenever I didn"t get what I wanted, I would complain to my mom, Tiffany"s mom would give her that! 
I wish she were my mom. Every time, my mom would calmly say "Poor Tiffany".
     I couldn"t understand her. "She shouldn"t be feeling sorry for Tiffany!" I thought. "She should be feeling
sorry for me."
     One day, I couldn"t help saying to Mom, "Poor Tiffany? Lucky Tiffany! She gets everything she wants!
Why do you feel sorry for her?" I burst into tears.
     My mom sat down next to me and said softly, "Yes, I do feel sorry for her. I have been teaching you a
lesson that she will never be taught."
     I looked up at her. "What are you talking about?"
     Mom said with care, "One day she will really want something. Maybe she"ll find out that she can"t have it.
Her mother won"t always be around to give her money, and what"s more, money can"t buy everything."
     She continued, "I have taught you valuable lessons by not giving you everything you want. You"ll know
how to look for bargains and save money, but she won"t. You"ll understand that you need to work hard to get
the things that you want but she won"t. When Tiffany is a grown woman, she"ll wake up one day and she will
be wishing that she had a mom like the one you"ve got. Life lessons are more important than modern clothes
and delicious food." 
     It took some time, but I eventually understood my mom"s words. Now I am a happy and successful woman.
