阅读理解

“Ordinary” was the worst word my mother could find for anything. Whenever she took me out for shopping, I found she wouldn’t take any notice of the shop assistants when they suggested that some dresses were popular. She would say, “We’re not interested in that. Haven’t you got anything a little unusual?” And then the assistants would bring out all the strange colours no one else would buy. And later she and I would argue because I wanted to be ordinary but my mother wanted to be unusual.

“I can’t stand that hairdo (发型),” she said to me when I was in a boy hairstyle, “It’s so terribly ordinary... Not ugly, not unsuitable. But ordinary ...”

“Couldn’t you please wear something else?” I asked one day when she was dressing for Parents’ Day in tight (紧贴的) trousers and a bright pink sweater.

“What’t wrong with it!”

“It’s just that I wish you’d wear something ordinary.” I said, “People won’t laugh at.”

She looked at me angrily, “Are you ashamed of your mother? If you are, Mary, I feel sorry for you.”

1.What did the shop assistants advise Mary’s mother to buy?

A.Something very popular.

B.Styles they have sold out of.

C.Cheap clothes.

D.The most unusual clothes.

2. When Mary had her hair cut in a boy hairstyle, her mother ____.

A.Because her mother’s clothes were out of style.

B.Because she didn’t like a pink sweater at all.

D.Because she didn’t want others to look at her mother.
