阅读理解.     We were on our way home from Houston, Texas around the Weston Lakes area one
Saturday morning. We decided to stop at a local gas station to get coffee and something
to snack on since it was a good hour and a half before we got home.
     When we were done, we got back into our car and before I started it, we noticed a
man standing outside in front of the building. He was a homeless man with worn clothes
and it looked like he had gone in and gotten himself some coffee or something warm to
drink since it was cold this time of the year. He must have not had enough money to get
something to eat.
     Then a dog walked up to the front of the building. I could tell she was a female,
because you could see that she had been feeding puppies ( baby dogs) . She was terribly
in need of something to eat and I felt so bad for her. I knew if she didn"t eat soon, she
and her puppies would not make it.
     I and my wife sat there and looked at her. We noticed that people walked by and
didn"t even pet her, like most people do when they walk by an animal in front of a store.
We still did not do anything. But the homeless man, who I thought did not buy himself
anything to eat, went back into the store. And what he did brought tears to me and my wife.
He had gone into the store and with what money he may have had,bought a can of dog
food and fed that dog.
     This story plays a great part in our lives. You see, that was Mother"s Day weekend.
And a lot of people forget that some animals are parents too.
     It took a homeless man, to show me what I should have done. He made me a better
man that day.1. The homeless man only had something to drink because___________.A. he didn"t have enough money for food
B. he was thirsty only
C. the store only provided drinks
D. he felt cold that day2. Seeing what the poor man did for the dog, the author and his wife _________A. were puzzled
B. were greatly moved
C. regretted they hadn"t done anything
D. were indifferent3. If the homeless man hadn"t given the dog food to eat, she and her babies would _________.A.not survive

阅读理解     Even before my father left us,my mother had to go back to work to support our family.Once
I came out of the kitchen,complaining,"Mom,I can"t peel potatoes.I have only one
hand."
     Mom never looked up from sewing."You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those
potatoes," she told me."And don"t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!"
In the second grade,our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race
across the monkey bars,swinging from one high steel rod to the next.When it was my turn,
     I shook my head.Some kids behind me laughed,and I went home crying.
That night I told Mom about it.She hugged me,and I saw her "we"ll see about that"
look.The next afternoon,she took me back to school.At the deserted playground,Mom
looked carefully at the bars.
    "Now,pull up with your right arm," she advised.She stood by as I struggled to lift myself
with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow.Day after day we
practiced,and she praised me for every rung I reached.I"ll never forget the next time,
crossing the rungs,I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.
One night,after a dance at my new junior high,I lay in bed sobbing.I could hear Mom come
into my room."Mom," I said,weeping,"none of the boys would dance with me."
     For a long time,I didn"t hear anything.Then she said,"Oh,honey,someday you"ll be
beating those boys off with a bat." Her voice was faint and cracking.I peeked out from my
covers to see tears running down her cheeks.Then I knew how much she suffered on my
behalf.She had never let me see her tears.1. Which of the following expressions can be used most suitably to describe Mom"s attitude
when she made the child peel potatoes?A. Cruel.  
B. Serious.
