The children talked so loudly at dinner table that I had to struggle _______.

A.to be heard                                                   B.to have heard

C.hearing                                                               D.being heard

A


解析:

不定式作目的状语,表示had to struggle的目的是想让别人听见自己所说的话。因为I是hear的逻辑宾语,所以要用不定式的被动式作状语,表示被动。动词+ing形式所表示的动作与谓语动词所表示的动作同时发生。

It is interesting to observe the way in which children so often react against their parents’ ideas, while at the same time 36 their parent’s characteristics. This is to say, the children grow up to have different 37 from their parents, yet to have 38 personalities. There is a 39 going on in the toy world at present over 40 children should be encouraged to have war toys. I do not see any 41 in forbidding them when I think of the 42 of my friend Henry.
Henry is the son of strict parents who were against war. He was never 43 toy soldiers or guns as a 44.
Henry 45 and went into the army, becoming a first-class soldier and 46 all sorts of honors in the army. In that way he became the 47 of what his parents might have 48 of their son. And yet there is a gentleness about Henry which shows a  49 personality. His sympathies(同情) which I can see must have come from his 50. 51 doing things differently from our parents, a lot of the 52 gets passed on.
Parents have to 53 their children what they believe to be right; but it is not much your ideas that the children 54 your example. Perhaps the best way to teach one’s child gentleness is not to forbid toy guns, but to be 55 in one’s own everyday life.

Having lived in the house for so long, we found our kitchen looked    21   . We decided it was time to   22  the kitchen, and my husband and I were discussing   23  colors. The children, sitting nearby, suddenly all spoke together:“Not the measuring stick. ”
“No,” I   24   them. “Not the measuring stick.”
The measuring stick isn’t a (an)   25    stick but the kitchen side of the door between our kitchen and dining room. Along the edge we’ve   26   each child’s growth by making a mark showing his or her   27   on every birthday. Over the years, so many colored pens, pencils and    28     have been used that now, this white door is somewhat like an abstract(抽象的) painting.
Names and dates show different    29   , and I can tell by the script(手迹) who measured whom. An eight-year-old   30  to measure her three-year old sister, a grandchild measured her grandmother and my husband did the same to me. At our family    31   , when this door swung back and forth frequently, friends used to stop to    32    the names and dates. When they were asked if they would like to be always remembered, they    33    smiled shyly and went back right up into place,     34  to be measured.
Many of those   35    on the door are still   36   . Some have stopped. Some remain with us only in   37   . When my mother came to see my eldest daughter graduate from university, we measured her, too. It was her last visit to our home.
We haven’ t   38   the new kitchen color plan yet, but one thing is certain: whatever color we choose, the   39   of the kitchen door will still remain    40  , with lots of names and dates in various colors.

As a young boy, I sometimes traveled the country roads with my dad. He was a rural mill carrier, and on Saturdays he would ask me to go with him. Driving through the countryside was always an adventure: There were animals to see, people to visit, and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop, and Dad did.
In the spring, Dad delivered boxes full of baby chickens, and when 1 was a boy it was such a fun to stick your finger 'through one of the holes of the boxes and let the baby birds peck on your fingers.
On Dad' s final day of work, it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because at least one member from each family was waiting at their mailbox to thank him for his friendship and his years of service. "Two hundred and nineteen mailboxes on my route." he used to say, "and a story at every one. " One lady had no mailbox, so Dad took the mail in to her every day because she was nearly blind. Once inside, he read her mail and helped her pay her bills.
Mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail. One note left in a mailbox read. "Nat, take these eggs to Marian; she's baking a cake and doesn't have any eggs. " Mailboxes might be buried in the snow, or broken, or lying on the groom:. bat the mail was always delivered On cold days Dad might find one of his customers waiting for him with a cup of hot chocolate. A young wrote letters but had no stamps, so she left a few button on the envelope in the mailbox; Dad paid for the stamps. One businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for Dad to take to the bank. Once, the amount came to 8 32,000.
A dozen years ago, when I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dad’s death,  the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories. I thought I knew them all, but that wasn't the case.
As I drove home, I noticed two lamp poles, one on each side of the street. When my dad was around, those poles supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground. One box was painted green and the other was red, and each had a long narrow hole at the top with white lettering: SANTA CLAUS, NORTH POLE. For years children had dropped letters to Santa through those holes.
I made a turn at the comer and drove past the post office and across the railroad tracks to our house. Mom and I were sitting at the kitchen table when I heard footsteps. There, at the door, stood Frank Townsend, Dad's postmaster and great friend for many years. So we all sat down at the table and began to tell stories.
At one point Frank looked at me with tears in his eyes. " What are we going to do about the letters this Christmas?" he asked.
"The letters?"
'I guess you never knew. "
"Knew what?"
" Remember, when you were a kid and you used to put your letters to Santa in those green and red boxes on Main Street? It was your dad who answered all those letters every year. "
I just sat there with tears in my eyes. It wasn’t hard for me to imagine Dad sitting at the old table in our basement reading those letters and answering each one. I have since spoken with several of the people who received Christmas letters during their childhood, and they told me how amazed they were that Santa had known so much about their homes and families.
For me, just knowing that story about my father was the gift of a lifetime.
