I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she’d said again, “it’s for Elizabeth.”
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter
They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易動感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface”.
As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.
My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace—it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside--- a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折疊) and refolded many times.
Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
【小題1】The writer began to love her mother’s desk____________.
| A．a(chǎn)fter Mother died. |
| B．before she became a writer. |
| C．when she was a child |
| D．when Mother gave it to her |
| A．mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter |
| B．mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done |
| C．mother cared much about her daughter in words |
| D．mother wrote to her daughter in careful words |
| A．deep understanding between the old and the young |
| B．different ideas between the mother and the daughter |
| C．free talks between mother daughter |
| D．part of the sea going far in land |
| A．She had never received the letter. |
| B．For years, she often talked about the letter. |
| C．She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in all her life. |
| D．She read the letter again and again till she died. |
| A．My Letter to Mother | B．Mother and Children |
| C．My Mother’s Desk | D．Talks between Mother and Me |

When I was about 12, I had an enemy (敵人), a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings (缺點). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin; I
wasn’t a good student; I talked too much; I was too proud (驕傲), and so on. I tried to hear all these as long as I
could. At last, I became very angry. I 
ran
to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly. Then he asked, “Are the thing she said true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever think about what you are really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could --- and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a very clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He wouldn’t like to take it. “That is just for you,” he said, “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you will find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do the right thing.”
Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important periods. In my life, I have never had a better piece of advice.
1.Which do you think would be the best title (標(biāo)題) for this passage?
A. Not An Enemy, But the Best Friend B. The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had
C. My Father D. My Childhood
2.Why did
the writer’s father listen to her quietly? Because__________.
A. he believed that most of what his daughter’s “enemy” said was true.
B. he had been so angry with his daughter’s shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping quiet for some time
C. he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment
D. he wasn’t quite sure which girl was telling the truth
3.What did the father do after he had heard his daughter’s complaint?
A. He told her not to pay any attention to what her “enemy” had said.
B. He criticized(批評) her and told her to overcome (克服) her shortcomings.
C. He told her to write down all that her “enemy” had said about her and pay attention only to the things that were true.
D. He wouldn’t like to take the list and have a look at it.
4.What does “I got a very clear picture of myself” mean?
A. I had my picture taken and this time it was a very clear one.
B. I asked someone to draw a very clear picture of myself.
C. The picture I got this time was clearer than those I had got before.
D. I came to know myself very clearly this time.

Four years ago my sweet mom went to be with her Lord. She did it her way.
I got the call at work, and I headed home quickly. Mom and Dad lived on a small farm that they had owned since I was seven. I hated going there every weekend. There was nothing for a young girl to do but watch the one station on the old TV set, if the weather allowed reception（接收）.
My mom, on the other hand, loved the peace and quiet of the land and loved to work in the garden among her flowers and vegetables. The place was simple, with no indoor plumbing or heat. We had a big wood stove in the kitchen that did its best to heat the little farmhouse, but it always seemed cold and too quiet to me.
In the evenings, my mom and I would sit for hours singing in the little kitchen. I sang the melody and Mom harmonized. Her favorite song was "Moon River" and we sang it over and over. Mom told me stories about how when I was a little girl, I could sing before I could talk. She loved to tell how my playpen（嬰兒圈欄）sat in the kitchen next to the radio and there was one song I particularly loved called "Ivory Tower".
As time passed, I had my own children and went to visit the farm every week or two. The kids loved the farm and the tractor rides with my dad. Me, well, I still hated the silence of the farm. While my mom loved to sit at her kitchen table and look out at her garden and flowers and retell all the old stories, I missed the hustle and bustle（喧鬧）of my life at home. But I sat there listening quietly as she reminisced.
Now, I sat back in the silence and the silence was deafening so I finally leaned over to turn on an old radio. Music always comforted me.
My heart skipped a beat. "Moon River" was playing on the radio. I sat there stunned, with a tear running down my cheek, as I listened to every familiar note.
Then the radio announcer of this oldie station came on. "Here's one we haven't heard in a while," and an unfamiliar song began. I began to cry harder as I heard the words sung over the airwaves. “Come down, come down from your Ivory Tower...”.
1.The writer didn’t like staying in the farm for the following reasons EXCEPT that
________.
A. it was too cold and quiet
B. she could only sing one song on the small farm
C. there was nothing more that could make her excited
D. The place was simple, with no indoor plumbing or heat
2.From the first paragraph, we know that the writer’s mother ________.
A. passed away four years ago
B. left the small farm with Lord
C. left for Lord to live her own way
D. preferred to be with Lord
3.The underlined word reminisced in the fifth paragraph probably means ________.
A. recalled B. comforted C. shouted D. sighed
4.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage _______.
A. The writer was able to sing before she could speak.
B. The writer preferred to live a busy life in the city.
C. The writer was still quite familiar with the song "Ivory Tower".
