I love it at night. It’s peaceful. And when it cools down I sometimes do some ironing. I don’t really care for it. I work full-time and I am too busy for most housework. I remember the old woman who taught me to iron. I was about 15 and I had to get a job taking care of a woman to make a living. She had been an able-bodied, healthy woman until the accident that caused her to be paralyzed.
The woman sat in an electric wheelchair all day. She could only move her head and arms. She would tell me how to do things. She would teach me in great detail on the correct ways to do things. Her home was perfect and beautiful. She would follow me around in her electric wheelchair to make sure I did everything exactly right. I’m sure she had been a perfect homemaker. She would have me fold(折疊) everything, including socks. I would complain silently and wish terrible things on her. She taught me the right way to make the bed. I know sometimes she’d get frustrated(沮喪) and impatient with me. I knew she wanted to do it herself. But she never shouted or scolded. She only insisted I do it right. I didn’t like it much, but I did it.
Today I can iron pretty well. I know where to start on a shirt and the right way to do the trousers. Now when I think about it, I don’t think she is an old lady. I think she might have been about my age now. Anyway, when I iron, I think of her and silently thank her for all the things I learned.
【小題1】The writer used to take care of the lady because ________.

A．she wanted to learn to do housework
B．she was a friend of the lady’s
C．she had to earn some money
D．she couldn’t find a room to live in
【小題2】The underlined word ‘paralyzed’ in the first paragraph may mean ‘______’.
A．destroyedB．deafC．seriously illD．unable to walk
【小題3】The little girl was ______ when the lady taught her how to do housework.
A．encouraged to learnB．unwilling to learn
C．delighted to learnD．recommended to learn
【小題4】Now the writer ______.
A．is still afraid of the ladyB．hates the strict lady
C．a(chǎn)dmires the disabled ladyD．is very grateful to the lady

(One day Alice runs after a strange rabbit and comes into a deep hole. She becomes smaller when she wakes up the next day. She finds herself in a wonderland with many amazing things inside.)
The Caterpillar(毛毛蟲(chóng)) and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence. At last the Caterpillar took the pipe out of its mouth, and said to her in a tired, sleepy voice.
“Who are YOU?” said the Caterpillar.
This opening for a talk couldn’t make Alice at ease. Alice replied, rather shyly, “I----I hardly know, sir, just at present ----at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.”
“What do you mean by that?” said the Caterpillar, “Explain yourself!”
“I can’t explain MYSELF. I’m afraid, sir.” said Alice, “because I’m not myself, you see.”
“I don’t see.” said the Caterpillar.
“I’m afraid I can’t put it more clearly.” Alice replied very politely, “for I can’t understand it myself. And being so many different sizes in a day is very puzzling.”
“It isn’t.” said the Caterpillar.
“Well, perhaps you haven’t found it so yet.” said Alice. “But when you have to turn into a chrysalis(蛹，繭)----you will some day, you know ----and then after that into a butterfly, I think you’ll feel it a little stranger, won’t you?”
“Not a bit.” said the Caterpillar.
“Well, perhaps your feelings may be different.” said Alice. “All I know is, it would make ME feel very strange.”
“You!” said the Caterpillar scornfully. “Who are YOU?” The question brought them back again to the beginning of the talk. Alice felt a little angry because the Caterpillar was making such VERY short sentences. She drew herself up and said very seriously, “I think you ought to tell me who YOU are first.”
“Why?” said the Caterpillar.
Here was another puzzling question. As Alice could not think out any good reason, and as the Caterpillar seemed to be very unpleasant, she turned away.
“Come back!” the Caterpillar called after her. “I’ve something important to tell you!”
This certainly gave Alice some hope. Alice turned and came back again.
【小題1】Where may their talk take place?

A．In a wonderland. B．In the field.
C．In the tree.D．Outside the hole.
【小題2】Alice didn’t feel __________ during her talk with Caterpillar.
A．shyB．sadC．a(chǎn)ngryD．strange
【小題3】Why did Alice think she was not herself?
A．Because she was too young to understand the changes.
B．Because being changed several times in a day made her feel puzzled.
C．Because she didn’t like her changes
D．Because she didn’t feel very well.
【小題4】Put the following statements in the correct order according to the story.
① Alice drew herself up.
② Alice used an example to explain the changes to herself.
③ Alice couldn’t explain herself.
④ Alice turned away.
⑤ Alice looked at Caterpillar for some time in silence.
A．⑤②③④①B．⑤②③①④
C．⑤③②④①D．⑤③②①④
【小題5】Which of the following sentences can be added to the end of the story?
A．“Don’t be silly. You are still yourself.” said the Caterpillar.
B．“Don’t be angry. You think you’re changed, do you?” said the Caterpillar.
C．“Don’t be sad. You’ll grow bigger again.” said the Caterpillar.
D．“Don’t be afraid. You can go home now.” said the Caterpillar.

One night I was sitting in my room half-listening as my 15-year-old brother Tommy fought with my 12-year-old brother Kevin. I didn’t pay attention when Kevin rushed up the stairs with the hurt on his face.
About 20 minutes later, as I was walking upstairs I heard Kevin crying inside the bathroom. I knocked on the door and asked, “Hey Kevin, do you want to talk?”
No answer.
I tried again, “Why don’t you come out of there?”
Again, no answer.
So, joking around, I grabbed a stack of （一摞）cards and a pencil and wrote, “If you don’t want to talk, we can write notes to each other.”
An hour later I was still sitting on the floor outside the bathroom with two stacks of cards in front of me. One was blank and one was cards from Kevin on which he had translated all his yucky feelings into words for me. As I read one of Kevin’s notes, tears came to my eyes. It said, “Nobody in this family cares about me. I’m not the youngest, and I’m not the oldest. Tommy thinks I’m silly and Dad wishes he had the other Kevin as a kid because he’s better at basketball. And you’re never around to even notice me.”
Tears came to my eyes as I wrote back to him. “You know Kevin, I really do love you and I’m sorry I don’t always show it. I am here for you and you are loved in this family.”
There was no answer for a while, but then I heard a tearing sound coming from inside the bathroom. Kevin, who had run out of cards wrote on a torn paper cup. “Thanks.”
I wrote back “For what?” it returned to me with “Loving me” on it.
Since then, I try my best to never only half-notice my family members any more. Kevin and I have a closer relationship now. And sometimes when one of us notices that the other is upset, we’ll smile and say “Write it on a paper cup.”
【小題1】The underlined word “yucky” most probably means ____.

A．upsetB．excitingC．terribleD．a(chǎn)mazing
【小題2】What could be the reason that Kevin’s Dad doesn’t like him?
A．Kevin is not as clever as his brother.
B．He is neither the youngest nor the oldest.
C．Kevin doesn’t like to make friends with others.
D．Kevin is not good at playing basketball.
【小題3】What do we know about the writer?
A．She has two children in her family.
B．She didn’t pay enough attention to Kevin before.
C．She used to show her love to Kevin.
D．She has a closer relationship with Tommy after that.
【小題4】What does the writer want to tell us?
A．Everyone should show how they love their family members.
B．It’s hard to get on well with family members.
C．It’s important to keep peace in the family.
D．We should try our best to stop our children from fighting.
