Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me. They don't act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, "I love you" is too luxurious for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine's Day is even more out of the question. Finally my father has a bad temper. When he's very tired from the hard work, it is easy for him to lose his temper.
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I silently sat down beside her and looked at her. "Mom, I have a question to ask you," I said after a while. "What?" she replied, still doing her work. "Is there love between you and Dad?" I asked her in a very low voice. My mother stopped her work and raised her head with surprise in her eyes. She didn't answer immediately. Then she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt.
I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her. I was in a great embarrassment and I didn't know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
"Susan," she said thoughtfully, "Look at this thread. Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it's really there. Love is inside."
小題1: Why does Susan’s father have a bad temper?
A．Because he doesn’t love the family.
B．Because he doesn’t earn much money.
C．Because he’s very tired from the hard work.
D．Because he doesn’t act in the romantic ways.
小題2: In Susan’s opinion, _______________________.
A．her mother enjoys doing chores at home.
B．her parents love each other very much.
C．love means sending flowers on Valentine’s Day and saying “I love you”
D．her parents love to make money.
小題3: In the passage, “thread” may represent _______________.
A．Susan’s familyB．the relationship between her parents
C．the daily lifeD．the love between her parents

小題1:C
小題2:C
小題3:D

試題分析：這篇文章主要講了媽媽通過做被子給女兒講了什么是愛情，愛情就像線，有時(shí)候,你能看得見,但是大多數(shù)都隱藏在被子里。這些線使被子堅(jiān)固耐用。如果生活就像一床被子,那么愛就是其中的線。它幾乎可以隨時(shí)隨地看到它,但是它確實(shí)是在那。愛情就在里面。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Finally my father has a bad temper. When he's very tired from the hard work, it is easy for him to lose his temper.最后我父親的脾氣非常壞。當(dāng)他從繁重工作回來后很累,很容易發(fā)脾氣。
可知選C。
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)"I love you" is too luxurious for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine's Day is even more out of the question蘇珊認(rèn)為她的父母不夠浪漫，對于他們來說，“我愛你”太奢侈,很難說出口。在情人節(jié)互相送花更是不可能的。可知應(yīng)選C。
小題3:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Look at this thread. Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it's really there. Love is inside看看這些線。有時(shí)候,你能看得見,但是大多數(shù)都隱藏在被子里。這些線使被子堅(jiān)固耐用。如果生活就像一床被子,那么愛就是其中的線。它幾乎可以隨時(shí)隨地看到它,但是它確實(shí)是在那。愛情就在里面。故選D。

I grew up in a small town. My father raised chickens and ran a construction company. I was only 10 years old when my dad gave me the responsibility of feeding the chickens and cleaning up the stable. He believed it was important for me to have those jobs to learn responsibility. Then, when I was 22, I found a job in Natchbill at a country music club called the Natchbill Palace, I washed dishes and cooked from 4:00 p.m to 9:00 p.m and then went on stage and sang until 2:00 in the morning.

This year, there is something new happening in our school.
It was September 6th, Wang Yang discovered that her classroom had changed. She found that the desks were no longer in rows, but pushed together to make eight bigger desks. She was too excited about it for the first two days and she couldn’t listen to the teachers carefully. But soon she and her classmates got used to this new classroom arrangement (安排). “Now our class is quieter,” said Wang, “What’s more, we can come up with our own ideas and learn more through discussion. It’s a better way to study.”
Li Yu liked it, too. He said, “Group members first discuss, and then show ourselves in front of the whole class. It makes us believe in ourselves.” It was part of a reform (改革) at Li’s school. The school made this reform because they wanted to provide students with easier ways to study and more chances to discuss.
“Our school hopes it can improve students’ abilities (能力) to study by themselves and work in groups,”said Jason, an English teacher.
However, the reform has demanded (要求) more from teachers. Now they have only 15 minutes to give the lesson which should be taught in 45 minutes before. It is difficult to teach in such a short time. The teachers have to find better ways to teach more effectively.
“The reform demands more, but I’m sure it is helpful,”added Jason.

Would you like to experience what going to school was like in the late 1800s? to start with, imagine everyone in school only one classroom.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, most American students went to a one-room schoolhouse. A single teacher would typically(典型地) have students in the first through eighth grades, and she taught them all. The number of students varied from six to 40 or more. The youngest children sat in the front, while the oldest students sat in the back. The teacher usually taught reading, writing, arithmetic, history, and geography. Students memorized(記憶) and retold their lessons.
The classroom of a one-room schoolhouse probably looked much like your own. The teacher’s desk stood on a raised platform(講臺) at the front of the room, however, and there was a wood-burning stove since there was no other way of heating. The bathroom was outside in an outhouse.
In Honeoye Falls, New York, there is a one-room schoolhouse where kids today can experience what it was like to the students in the late 19th century. For a week during the summer, they wear 19th century clothes and learn the way children learned more than a hundred years ago.
