Returning from a trip overseas, I sensed that something was wrong between Keith, one of my two sons, and me. So I asked him, “Keith, have I done anything that really 41 your feelings?”
Immediately, he said, “Yes, last Christmas you promised us a special 42 that I really wanted but you 43 gave it to me.”
The 44 was that I’d completely forgotten about it. I 45 , “Is there anything else I’ve done wrong, but I haven’t apologized 46 ?”
Again, his 47 was immediate, “Remember last Christmas when Mom said you had to go to the 48 because Kate, my little sister, was going to be born? You left us at home and 49 in a hurry. Remember?”
“Well, you left and forgot the suitcase.” I couldn’t believe he 50 all the details! “After you came back from the hospital you were 51 to see the suitcase had been opened and 52 had been thrown all over the place, and then you 53 me.”
“And you didn’t do it?” I asked.
“No, I didn’t. I was just searching for my gift.”
My heart sank. I felt 54 . I hugged Keith and asked him to 55 me. His honesty made me think of my other son, Kevin. Maybe I’d hurt his feelings, too. I went to ask him the 56 question. Kevin answered as immediately as his 57 , “Last Christmas you promised us a special toy, but you forget about it.”
58 Christmas had passed, I took my two sons to the store that day and bought them what I had promised. The 59 thing wasn’t the toy. The problem was that I’d made a promise too 60 and didn’t keep it as their mother.

小题1:词义搭配题：hurt one’s feelings 指伤了某人的情感。B
小题1:这里暂时看不出答案，但根据文章后面的提示“Last Christmas you promised us a special toy, but you forget about it.”可看出是D。
小题1:根据前面的but说明爸爸没有给孩子买玩具。A
小题1:句意是;事实上我忘了给孩子买玩具。challenge挑战message信息idea想法，都不符合句意。
小题1:这是作者和孩子的对话，这里是继续说：complain抱怨apologiz道歉explain解释，都不能符合句意。故C正确。
小题1:这里考查词组：apologize for为…道歉。
小题1:上文是作者在提问：“Is there anything else I’ve done wrong, but I haven’t apologized 46 ?”孩子肯定是回答了，填B。
小题1:从下面的句子because Kate, my little sister, was going to be born? 看出是去医院。选A。
小题1:考查词组settled down定居went on继续set off出发got up起床，根据句意父母把孩子留在家里，匆忙出发。
小题1:上面的描述是孩子对以前的事情的回忆，所以爸爸说不相信孩子能记得那么清楚。用D 。
小题1:根据下文the suitcase had been opened and 52 had been thrown all over the place, 说明家里一团糟，爸爸很生气。选A
小题1:还是上面的句子，家里所有的东西都被扔的到处都是。是everything。
小题1:爸爸很生气，一定是punish孩子。praised表扬helped帮助 educated教育
小题1:根据孩子的话“No, I didn’t. I was just searching for my gift.”说明爸爸错怪了孩子，感觉很糟。hopeless无望inspired受到激励的encouraged受到鼓励的。
小题1:根据上文，爸爸觉得愧疚，I hugged Keith and asked him to 55 me.因此是请求孩子原谅“forgive”，support支持criticize批评suspect怀疑。
小题1:爸爸问了另一个孩子同样的问题，选the same。C
小题1:Kevin和Keith都是作者的儿子，那他们就是兄弟了。
小题1:后面说I took my two sons to the store that day and bought them what I had promised.说明是尽管圣诞节过去了，还是给孩子买了礼物。
小题1:根据上下文，句意是，重要的不是礼物，而是自己不遵守诺言。故选C。
小题1:这里表示作者总是轻易的许诺，但是又不遵守。其它选项都不符合。 |

“Oh, there is plenty of time yet,” answered Tom.
“Oh, I’ll get you some more tea then,” said John.
They talked while drinking. Then Tom looked at the clock again.

Some time ago ,I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended , as there are a whole lot of antique shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn"t even look at my chair.
The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth - so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper,“ Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “ Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK, ”he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds. ”“It ‘s got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that, it"s nothing.”
Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?”I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done. ”“I"ll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean？ You’ve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I"m sorry, I"ll give you twenty -seven pounds for it. ”“ Your must be crazy, ”he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair. ”“ You’re right, ”I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, Would you mend this chair for me?I wouldn"t have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver?”He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.
