Jessica asked. "A skeleton in the closet?" her mother paused thoughtfully. "Well, it"s something that you would
rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad"s family had been arrested
for stealing a horse, it would be a skeleton in his family"s closet. He really wouldn"t want any neighbor to know
about it."
"Why pick on my family?" Jessica"s father said with anger. "Your family history isn"t so good, you know.
Wasn"t your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?" "Yes, but
people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners." "Gosh, sorry
I asked. I think I understand now," Jessica cut iin before things grew worse.
After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica"s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother
was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending
to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica"s closet.
Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a
bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica"s mother sank in a faint (晕倒), waking only when Jessica put a
cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.
"What happened? Where am I?" she asked. "You just destroyed the school"s skeleton, Mum," explained
Jessica. "I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as
I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad." Jessica looked in amazement as
her parents began to laugh madly. "They"re both crazy," she thought.
B. a family secret
C. a family story
D. a family treasure
B. They were the earliest people living in Australia.

| Most dog owners feel that their dogs are their best friends. Almost everyone likes dogs because they try hard to please their owners. One of my favorite stories is about a dog who wanted his owner to please him. One of my friends has a large German shepherd (牧羊狗) named Jack. Every Sunday afternoon, my friend takes Jack for a walk in the park. Jack likes these long walks very much. One Sunday afternoon, a young man came to visit my friend. He stayed a long time, and he talked and talked. Soon it was time for my friend to take Jack for his walk, but the visitor didn"t leave. Jack became very worried about his walk in the park. He walked around the room several times and then sat down directly in front of the visitor and looked at him. But the visitor paid no attention. He continued talking. Finally, Jack could n"t stand it any longer. He went out of the room and came back a few minutes later. He sat down again in front of the visitor, but this time he held the man"s hat in his mouth. German shepherds aren"t the only intelligent dogs. Another intelligent dog is a Seeing Eye dog. This is a special dog which helps blind people walk along the streets and do many other things. We call these dogs Seeing Eye dogs because they are the "eye" of the blind people and they help them to "see". Seeing Eye dogs generally go to special schools for several years to learn to help blind people. | ||||||||||||||
