My mother is very after work, I do some housework for her. 【查看更多】

I am my mother’s third child. When I was born, her doctor gently explained to her that my left arm was missing, below the elbow. Then he gave her some advice: “Don’t treat her any differently from the other girls. Demand more.” And she did!

My mother had to work to support our family. There were five girls in our family and we all had to help out. Once when I was about seven, I came out of the kitchen and said, “Mum, I can’t peel potatoes. I only have one hand.”

“You get back to peel those potatoes, and don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”

Of course I could peel potatoes—with my good hand, while holding them down with my other arm. There was always a way, and Mom knew it. “If you try hard enough,” she’d say, “you can do anything.”

Once in the second grade, our teacher had each of us race across the monkey bars(单杠). When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids laughed. I went home crying.

After work the next afternoon, Mom took me back to the school playground.

“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by as I practiced, and she praised me when I made progress.

I’ll never forget the praised time when I was crossing the bars. The kids were standing there with their mouths open.

It was the way with everything. When I fear I can’t deal with things, I see Mom’s smile again. She had the heart to face anything. And she taught me I could, too.

46.Which of the following about the writer is TRUE?

A. Her mother took better care of her than of her sister. B. She was born without the left hand.

     Mr. Green owned a few shops and was busy with his work. Once his wife had a fall and broke her leg.
She was sent to the hospital and needed someone to look after her. They had several servants, but none of
them could do the job. One of his friends brought a girl to Mr. Green. She looked beautiful and strong.
Mr. Green liked her at once, and wanted to hire her.
     When the girl went out of the room, the friend said, "I hear she's a little foolish. You'd better ask her
some questions. If she answers them well, you can hire her."
     Mr. Green agreed and called the girl in again. He asked, "What would you be a servant for?"
    "My mother is often ill," the girl said, crying, "I have to stop studying and find work. I want to get some
money to buy some medicine for her."
     "Where's your father, then?"
     "He died last year." answered the girl.
    "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that," said Mr. Green, "And how did he die?"
    "He went to London on business and had a high fever. The doctor couldn't save him and he died in the
capital."
     "How many times had your father been to London?"
     "Three times."
