　　Mom was a teacher most of her life．When she wasn't in the classroom, she was educating her children or grandchildren：correcting our grammar; starting us on collections of butterflies, flowers or rocks; or inspiring a discussion on her most recent “Book of the Month Club” topic．Mom made learning fun．

　　It was sad for my three brothers and me to see her suffering in later years．At eighty-five, she suffered a stroke and she went steadily downhill after that．

　　Two days before she died, my brothers and I met at her nursing home and took her for a short ride in a wheelchair．While we waited for the staff to lift her back into bed, Mom fell asleep．Not wanting to wake her, we moved to the far end of the room and spoke softly．

　　After several minutes our conversation was interrupted by a sound coming from across the room．We stopped talking and looked at Mom．Her eyes were closed, but she was clearly trying to communicate with us．We went to her side．

　　“Whirr,” she said weakly．

　　“Where?” I asked．“Mom, is there something you want?” “Whirr,” she repeated a bit stronger．My brothers and I looked at each other and shook our heads sadly．

　　Mom opened her eyes, sighed, and with all the energy she could master said, “Not was, say were!”

　　It suddenly occurred to us that Mom was correcting brother Jim's last sentence．“If it was up to me…”

　　Jim leaned down and kissed her cheek．“Thanks, Mom,” he whispered．We smiled at each other-remarkable teacher．

(1)

[　　]
A．	She wanted to tell her sons her will．
B．	She wanted to have something to eat before she died．

D．	She wanted to teach her sons more because she was dying．

(2)

Which of the following statements is NOT right?
[　　]
A．	Mom was a good teacher and never wanted to stop her teaching．
B．	Mom was always making her teaching fun．
C．	Mom didn't forget her teaching until she died．
D．	Mom was no longer a teacher when she was at home．

(3)

What does the writer think of his mother?
[　　]
A．	He loved her but was tired of his mother's teaching at home．
B．	His mother should forget her teaching and enjoyed the rest of her life．
C．	His mother was great because she devoted herself to teaching．
D．	His mother was an excellent teacher before she was retired．

(4)

Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
[　　]
A．	Once a teacher, always…

Do you ever have days when everything seems to go wrong? Sarah Rosenbaum does. In fact, last week nothing seemed to go right for her at all…

On Monday her mom and dad were out, so Sarah decided to have a TV dinner.

She rushed into the kitchen, but it was too late- everything was black.

On Tuesday she offered to clean up the apartment for her parents. After she had vacuumed the carpets, she threw away a pile of old newspapers and computer magazines.

On Wednesday she took Foxy for a walk in the park and lost him. She looked for him everywhere, but he had disappeared. The stupid dog came back later, but that was after Mrs Rosenbaum had telephoned nearly everybody in the neighborhood.

Thursday went all right until the evening. Sarah put the dirty things in the dish-washer and switched it on, but when she emptied it later, two of the glasses she had put in were broken. Her mom wasn't very pleased because she always washed the good glasses by hand.

Now it was Friday, and Sarah wanted to go the hamburger drive-in with Nacy, Bob and Mike that evening. But she had already spent her pocket money.

阅读理解

　　Remember those highly charged first days? They were full of real-life tests where there was always something new to learn, and not always from a book．One of my first lessons occurred on my first day of kindergarten, when I got on the wrong bus－as my older sister still likes to remind me．

　　Life’s minor embarrassments do happen, and I know I can’t protect my own children from them．I just try to teach them to laugh at theirs like I do at mine．

　　My daughter Erin started on the wrong foot in the 1st grade, at a new school where she knew no one．All the other 1st graders couldn’t resist opening and closing, closing and opening their new desks．Wouldn't you know Erin would neither open nor close? She came to find out she was sitting on the wrong side!

　　Even getting around in a new school can be a challenge．Erin's older sister, Molly, almost missed her first lunch in junior high．The school secretary came to her rescue, arming her with the knowledge that while the gym and flex space were next door to each other, lunch was served only in the latter．

　　The first day sometimes has pitfalls for Mom and Dad, too．Once, I managed to stockpile(储备)Molly and Erin's school supplies as they went on sale the previous year．I thought everything was ready for the first day－oh, yeah! My victory dance was short-lived, however．After day one myladies rushed off the bus, both worried and confused, saying “Mom, we need wide-rule not college-rule paper, and three 2-inch notebooks instead of two 3-inch ones! And for standardized testing, standardized No．2 pencils only, please．”

　　Perhaps my favorite first-day memory happened the first time my two daughters went to full-day public school together, when I was understandably emotional．Erin noticed my red eyes and white smile．“You are happy and sad, huh, Mommy?” Such a sensitive girl! She added, “Just like the time when you were crying and laughing after the car stopped running on the ice and we were OK．” Well, at least I could laugh!

(1)

What happened to Molly the first day she went to junior high school?
[　　]
A．	She couldn't find her new classroom．
B．	She didn't know how to use her new desk．
C．	She couldn’t find the place to have lunch．
D．	She didn’t get along with her classmates．

(2)

What does the underlined word “pitfalls” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
[　　]
A．	Unexpected problems．
B．	Great pleasures．
C．	Unnecessary worries．
D．	Painful experiences．

(3)

We can learn from the last paragraph that Erin _________．
[　　]
A．	had mixed feelings when leaving her home
B．	didn't want to go to full-day public school
C．	noticed her mother was sick that day
D．	understood how her mother felt then

(4)

What is the subject of the passage?
[　　]
A．	The relationship between Morn and child．
B．	The first day of a new school year．
C．	How to keep kids from making mistakes．
D．	Sweet memories at school．
