Question

He came again the next day and worked until it was time to leave. His name was Jerry. He was 12 and had been at the Children’s Home(孤兒院)since he was only four.  I thought of him. He was honest(誠(chéng)實(shí)). For example, the handle (柄) of the ax (斧)broke one day. Jerry said the Children’s Home would mend it. I handed him some money to pay for it. He wouldn’t take the money. "I’ll pay for it, mama. I broke it. I didn’t hit the wood in the right place. "
"But Jerry, no one hits the wood in the right place all the time. And it was a weak handle. I’ll speak to the seller. " It was only then that he would take the money.
Another thing about Jerry was that he would do those little but helpful things. The things would not be badly needed but would make life so much easier. For example, he found a hole near the fireplace. "I’ll put some wood in the hole, mama. Then when a sudden storm(暴風(fēng)雨)comes up, you can stay warm. "
One cold day, Jerry sat close by me near the fire. We watched the fire bum. He suddenly talked of something he had never talked of before. "You look like my mother, especially(特別) next to the fire"
But you were four, Jerry, ’when you came to live at the Children’s Home. Do you still remember your mother?"

1.C從第一段的His name was Jerry. He was 12 and had been at the Children’s Home(孤兒院)since he was only four.看出Jerry四歲來孤兒院，現(xiàn)在12歲了，所以遇到作者8年了。
2.A從第二段舉的例子中的"I’ll pay for it, mama. I broke it. I didn’t hit the wood in the right place. "說明Jerry覺得很抱歉。
3.B從第一段I thought of him. He was honest(誠(chéng)實(shí)). 第二段another thing about Jerry was that he would do those little but helpful things.可知B項(xiàng)正確。
4.D劃線句子是作者安慰Jerry的話，沒有人總是打在正確的位置，就是人們有時(shí)會(huì)打在錯(cuò)誤的位置，這很正常。
5.C上文表示作者很喜歡Jerry，另外倒數(shù)第二段中Jerry對(duì)作者說"You look like my mother, especially(特別) next to the fire"說明他也很喜歡作者。
