When I was ten, my mother worked all day...

When I was ten, my mother worked all day so I had to take care of my younger brother. At that time my little brother was about four years old and he missed mum all the time.

One day, after I had given him his dinner, he started crying for mum. He was so young and really needed mum. So I dressed him, put on his shoes, carried him on my back and walked out. Soon he fell asleep. About half an hour later, I found that he had lost a shoe while sleeping. I took him off my back and put him down. I knew we needed to find that shoe, for our mother couldn’t afford new shoes. We had to go back to find it, so I told my brother to wait right there. A man heard it and stopped me just before I walked off. He asked me, “You are leaving your brother here to find the shoe? What would you do if he is not here when you return?” I did not know how to answer that question. He continued, “Its OK if you cant find the shoe, but it is not OK to lose your brother.” Then he sent us to mum’s workplace by taxi.

My whole life I have depended on the kindness of many strangers, I feel regretful that I cannot find them and say thank you. I do not even remember what the man’s face looked like, but he taught me a lesson—people are more important than things.

1. Why did the younger brother cry for his mother?

A. Because he was hungry.               B. Because he missed his mother. 

C. Because he wanted to sleep.          D. Because he wanted to play outside.

2.What does the underlined word “regretful” in the last paragraph mean?

A. Sorry.           B. Happy.           C. Excited.             D. Angry.

3.What did the man mean by saying “It’s OK if you can’t find the shoe, but it is not OK to lose your brother.”?

A. People are more important than things.

B. Things are more important than people.

C. Both the shoe and your brother are important.

D. The shoe is more important than your brother.

4.According to the passage, which word can best describe the man?

A. Rude.            B. Funny.           C. Silly.               D. Kind.

 

1.B 2.A 3.A 4.D 【解析】【主旨大意】本文主要讲述了作者年幼的时候照看弟弟的故事。有次他带着弟弟去找妈妈,把弟弟的一只鞋丢了,准备放下弟弟去找鞋子的时候,一个陌生人帮助了他,告诉他人比鞋更重要。 1.细节理解题。根据句子“He was so young and really needed mum.”可知因为弟弟想妈妈,所以,他哭着找妈妈。故选B。 2.词义猜测题。由regretful之后的句子“I cannot find them and say thank you.”“我不能找到他们,对他们表示谢意”可推出regretful和sorry同义,意为“遗憾的;抱歉的”。故选A。 3.推理判断题。男人的话的意思是“丢了鞋子可以,但是丢了弟弟就不行了。”言外之意就是人要比东西更重要。故选A。 4.主旨大意题。rude意为“粗鲁的”,funny意为“有趣的”,silly意为“蠢笨的”,kind意为“友善的”。这个男子热心帮助作者,所以是善良的。故选D。
