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(孤儿院)since he was only four. I thought of him. He was honest(诚实). 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(暴风雨)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(特别) 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?"
【小题1】How long had Jerry lived at the Children’s Home by the time he met the writer?
A.One year. | B.Four years. | C.Eight years. | D.Twelve years. |
A.Sorry. | B.Happy. | C.Angry. | D.Lucky. |
A.clever, honest but lazy | B.honest, helpful and worked hard |
C.honest, warm - hearted and strange | D.careful, honest and weak |
A.you should be more careful next time |
B.anyone can hit the wood in the right place |
C.I always hit the wood in the right place |
D.people hit the wood sometimes in the wrong place |
A.Jerry lived with his parents at times. |
B.The writer was really Jerry’s mother. |
C.Jerry liked the writer and the writer liked him, too. |
D.Jerry did not like to live with his mother. |
【小题1】C
【小题2】A
【小题3】B
【小题4】D
【小题5】C
解析【小题1】C从第一段的His name was Jerry. He was 12 and had been at the Children’s Home(孤儿院)since he was only four.看出Jerry四岁来孤儿院,现在12岁了,所以遇到作者8年了。
【小题2】A从第二段举的例子中的"I’ll pay for it, mama. I broke it. I didn’t hit the wood in the right place. "说明Jerry觉得很抱歉。
【小题3】B从第一段I thought of him. He was honest(诚实). 第二段another thing about Jerry was that he would do those little but helpful things.可知B项正确。
【小题4】D划线句子是作者安慰Jerry的话,没有人总是打在正确的位置,就是人们有时会打在错误的位置,这很正常。
【小题5】C上文表示作者很喜欢Jerry,另外倒数第二段中Jerry对作者说"You look like my mother, especially(特别) next to the fire"说明他也很喜欢作者。

Imagine this: your parents go away on business, but you have to stay at home alone. Would life be as easy as when your parents are around? Would it be a perfect holiday for you?
“I can fill an empty stomach with tomato and egg soup, but that's all. I think many of my classmates are the same. We wouldn't know what to do, or how to look after ourselves," said Zheng Chenyu. "And I'd forget something important. I'd probably watch television and burn the soup. "
“As soon as I leave home, I'll learn to cook. But now parents do almost everything for us. We’re very lazy, "she said.
Most teenagers have only time for their homework. They don't learn any life skills until they go to college.
However, Sima Yige doesn't think so.
“I think I'd be all right. I wouldn't just eat sandwiches or fruit. I know how to cook, some simple dishes because my mum showed me," the 13 - year - old boy said. In his opinion, many teenagers depend too much on their parents, and there is much more to learn than cooking, like "tidying up your room or even dressing yourself properly."
For most teenagers it wouldn't be a holiday at all.
【小题1】Why would Zheng Chenyu probably burn the soup?
________________________________________
