I had been cleaning Freda’s house for five years and had 42   an unexpected relationship with the family. It was not just 43   I had become an expert at scraping（刮掉）dirt stuck to their wooden floor, 44   that I had learned exactly how to place toys on the girls’ beds. It was 45   than that, for I felt I had become a part of their 46  .Freda stayed at home with the kids, 47   I would often see her in the morning 48   them to school. And I’d be there when they 49  home at lunch for sandwiches and piano practice. I had 50  them grow up. Now I was tired, but the 51 thing was that I still wanted to keep scraping away the dirt and dust for the family.

41．解析：loss意为“损失”，根据短文最后一句话I can’t help worrying about what happens around me.可判断出由于Freda丈夫的报酬下降，作者的工作很可能难以保住，所以她有一种受到损失的感觉。regret意为“遗憾，抱歉；后悔，悔恨；痛惜，惋惜”。surprise意为“吃惊”。fear意为“恐怖，畏惧”。
42．解析：develop意为“发展”，指事物由小到大，由弱到强的变化过程。表示由于作者在Freda家中已经工作了五年，相互之间建立了一种意想不到的关系。start意为“开始”。improve意为“改善”。break意为“破坏”。
43．解析：that引导表语从句，在从句中只起连接作用，不充当任何成分。表示这种关系的建立不是因为作者擅长于刮去木地板上的脏物。why引导表语从句表示原因，即表示作者为什么擅长刮去木地板上的脏物。所以不能作为答案。并且，当主语是it时，要用because引导表语从句。what引导表语从句时，在从句中作主语、宾语或表语。which引导表语从句时，在从句中作主语、宾语、表语或定语，意为“哪一个”。

45．解析：more than意为“不仅仅是”，表示作者与Freda一家建立特殊关系的原因不仅仅是由于她活干得出色，而是因为她感觉自己已经成为这个家庭的成员。less意为“更小的，较小的，更少的，较少的”。least意为“最少”， most意为“最多”，都不与than连用。
46．解析：life意为“生活”，表示作者已成为Freda生活的一部分。story意为“故事”。activity意为“活动”。experience意为“经历”。
47．解析：so意为“因此”，表示两个句子之间是因果关系。表示作者之所以经常看见Freda送孩子上学的原因是她呆在家里照看孩子。as和since意为“因为”，引导原因状语从句。however意为“然而”，表示转折时，要用逗号与句子隔开。
48．解析：take意为“拿走，带走”，指把某人或某物从说话人处拿走或带走，由近至远。take sb to some place表示“带某人到某地”，即表示看见Freda送孩子们去上学。bring意为“带来”，指从别处拿(带)某人或某物到说话人处，由远及近。move意为“移动”。call意为“给……打电话”。

[1]World Consumer Rights Day is celebrated annually by consumer organizations worldwide. It commemorates the historic declaration on March 15, 1962 by John F. Kennedy, the former U.S. President, of

the basic Rights of consumers, which include: "the right to safety", "the right to be informed", "the right to choose", and "the right to be heard".
[2]This declaration has led to international recognition by governments and the United Nations that all citizens, regardless of their incomes or social standing, have certain basic Rights as consumers. Officially, World Consumer Rights Day was first observed on March 15，1983 and has since become an important occasion for mobilizing citizen action, with recognition of consumer rights taking off around the world. On April 9，1985, the United Nations Assembly General Assembly adopted the UN Guidelines for Consumer Protection that provide a framework for strengthening national consumer protection policies around the world.
[3]The guidelines included Kennedy's four basic consumer rights plus another four: the right to satisfaction of basic needs; the right to redress(赔偿); the right to education; and the right to a healthy environment. Currently, the fundamental consumer rights are recognized globally.
[4]World Consumer Rights Day normally has a theme associated with an activity or development that is relevant to consumers. Whatever their objectives, they share the same underlying aim of bringing about important and needed benefits for consumers.
[5]In recent years, progress has been made for recognition and protection of consume

r rights in developing countries. At least, March 15 is a day when consumers are filled with pride and satisfaction. However, there are many reports on violation of consumer rights by unethical marketing practices.
