One evening I went out and left my 17-year-old son in charge of his 8-year-old brother and 4-year-old sister. On this occasion, the work was made less troublesome by the presence of his girlfriend. I left with complete confidence that the older children would do a wonderful job of babysitting the younger children and the younger children would do a wonderful job of accompanying the older ones. Later, I discovered that complete confidence was the last thing I should have left home with.

I had decided to return home earlier than planned so that my son and his girlfriend could go out. I called home with this happy news. But instead of hearing his cheerful, grateful voice on the other end of the line, all I heard was the sound of a telephone ringing.

It was, I should point out, after 10 p.m., when the two younger children should have been in bed, and when the two older children should have been answering the phone. “I’ll give him a lesson,” I said. I decided they must be outside. Why they might be outside at 10:30 on a wintry night I had no idea, but it was the only explanation I could come up with.

Finally, in desperation, I called his girlfriend’s house. After what seemed like countless rings, his girlfriend answered. “Yes,” she said brightly, “He’s right here.”

He came on the phone. I was not my usual calm, rational(理智的) self. After all, one of the rules of survival for modern parents is that you can’t trust modern teenagers. “Where are the children?” I said. He said they were with him. They had done nothing wrong. My son had taken the younger children over to his girlfriend’s house just for ice cream and cake. This was too good to be believed. Well, it turns out that I shouldn’t have believed it. It was only part of the truth.

The following Saturday evening we were at my parents’ home, celebrating my birthday. My oldest son gave me the children’s gifts. Mounted and framed were a series of lovely color photographs of my children, dressed in their best clothes, and wearing their most wonderful expressions. They are pictures to treasure a lifetime, all taken by the father of my son’s girlfriend.

1.51.The author went out and left her eldest son in charge of the younger children because ______.

A. she knew that his girlfriend was a good baby-sitter

B. she believed he could take good care of the younger ones with the help of his girlfriend

C. the older children have always loved the younger ones

D. she could not find a baby-sitter on that winter night

2.52.Shortly after the author left home one evening, she discovered that ______.

A. she shouldn’t have completely trusted her son

B. her son had left home with his girlfriend

C. her son had brought his girlfriend home

D. she should have taken the children along with her

3.53.The sentence “It was only part of the truth.” (Para. 5) implies that the children not only enjoyed ice-cream but also ______.

A. had their pictures taken                B. had a birthday party

C. framed some photographs            D. showed off their best clothes

4.54.Which of the following possible titles best expresses the main idea of this passage?

A. An Evening Out              B. Modern Teenagers

C. A Precious Birthday Gift           D. Mother and Children

“Two books per visit per week,” said the unsmiling librarian as she handed a library card. Neither the limits nor her attitude   16   me, a 9 – year – old Jewish girl growing up in Berlin in the 1950s. I needed those visits. The books were filled with stories in which, however   17  things seemed, everything   18   well in the end,   19   justice, bravery, and wisdom –--- a striking contrast (對(duì)比) to my everyday experiences.

Thirty years later, I, a recent immigrant to the US with a daughter aged 13, stood in front of another librarian. This librarian was   20  .

“What did she say?” I asked my daughter, who already knew a little English and often   21  as my interpreter.

“She said ‘Can I help you?’”

“Ask if they have any books in   22  ,” I requested.

“No, they don’t.” translated my daughter.

While hunting for a job, I was told that the library needed people to   23   books. The interview was short –--- the job didn’t require much English, just a   24   of the alphabet. I started the next day. Every day, I handled hundreds of books whose meaning was   25   from me, mentally dividing them by size and color. One day, while shelving, I found English for Beginners and began studying it on my own.   26   English letters started forming words I could   27  , words combined into phrases, and –--- oh,   28  ! –-- I was reading. It was a slow process, supported by dictionaries and   29  by tears, but it was progress. Afterwards I got promoted to the front desk -----   30   books in and out and answering simple questions.

Every day I receive dozens of people. Sometimes I spot new immigrants. They come from all over the world, so they look different, but the hesitant expression on their faces and their   31   manners are similar. My heart goes out to them,   32   they are people like me. I fully understand the   33   roads on which they have stepped. “They’ve come to the right place,” I think to   34  . Then I smile and say – just the   35   a librarian said to me a long time ago –--- “Can I help you?”
