i was out shopping last day答案解析

When I was a six-year-old girl, I spent the summer with my grandmother.She sent me down to the store with a list.Behind the counter(柜台) was a lady,Miss White.

“Excuse me,”I said,she looked up. “I need to get these.”I continued,holding up my list. “So?Get them?”Miss White pointed to a sign. “There is no one else here except you and me,and I am not your servant(仆人)，so get yourself a basket over there.”

I visited Miss White twice a week that summer.Going to the store was like going into a war.But by the end of the summer,I could finish the one-hour shopping trip in around 15 minutes.Before returning home,I stopped at the store to get some candies at the last time.

“All right,”she said, “What did you learn this summer?”

“That you are mean(吝啬的)！”I replied.

Miss White just laughed. “I know what you think of me,”she said. “Well,I don’t care!My job is to teach every child I meet life lessons.You will be glad when you are older!”Glad I met Miss White?Ha!The idea was unreasonable.

Many years later,one day my daughter came to me with homework troubles.

“It is too bad,”she said.

“Could you finish my math problems for me?”

“If I do it for you,how will you learn to do it yourself?” I said.Suddenly,I was back at the store where I had learned the hard way to do shopping by myself.

Life is full of all kinds of troubles.You may be given a hand once or twice,but luck may not find you every time.So try to work it out yourself.

1.What did Miss White probably do?

A. A teacher.

B. A shop assistant.

C. A bank clerk.

2.Why did the little girl stop before returning home?

A. Because she wanted to say goodbye to Miss White.

Dear Dad,

Today I was at the shopping mall and I spent a lot of time reading the Father's Day cards. They all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how I feel about you. Yet as I selected and read, it occurred to me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you.

You'll soon be 84 years old, Dad, and you and I will have had 55 Father's Days together. I haven't always been with you on Father's Day but I've always been with you in my heart.

You know, Dad, there was a time when we were separated by the generation gap. You stood on one side of the Great Divide and I on the other.

The Father-Daughter Duel shifted into high gear ( 档位) when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the '54 Chevy whether you liked it or not. The police officer who sent me home, after you reported the Chevy stolen, didn't have much tolerance for a stub­born 16 year old, while you were so tolerant about it, Dad, and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life.

Our relationship greatly improved when I married a man you liked, and things really turned around when we began making babies right and left. Somewhere along the line, the generation gap disappeared. I suppose I saw us and our relationship as aging together, rather like a fine wine.

But the strangest thing happened last week. I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car. It didn't immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and fragile behind the wheel of that huge car. It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere. Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day.

I guess what I'm trying to say, Dad, is what every son and daughter wants to say to their Dad today. Honoring a father on Father's Day is about respect and sharing and acceptance and tolerance and giving and taking. It's about loving someone more than words can say, and it's wishing that never had to end.

I love you, Dad.

Love,

Jenny

D．remind him of the early incident

 I shall never forget the day when the earthquake took place. The time was 5:15 in the afternoon and I was driving along the road to 1my daughter from school. Our plan was to go 2 together. I had finished work at about 4 o'clock and then 3 to the post office, then get off at a shop in order to buy some  fruit. We like to have some fruit to eat after our swim.

  I was driving along a high road on my way to the school. Over my road was another way for cars coming the 5 way. I was hungry so I put the bag of apples in the seat 6me and started to eat one.

  Suddenly I saw the cars 7 me start to move from side to side. I slowed down. Then 8 started to shake. I didn't know what was happening. 9 something had gone wrong with my car. I drove even slower. I stopped the car and at the same moment the 10 fell on­to the cars in front of me.

  I found myself in the dark. I couldn't move. The bottom parts of both my legs and my feet were 11 badly and I couldn't move them. All around me was 12 . But below me I could hear shouts and a lot of noise. Then I 13 what had happened. I had been in an earth­quake.

  For about two hours nobody came. Luckily I could reach the bag of apples，so 14I had plenty to eat. Then I 15 people climbing towards me. A team of people had come to see if anyone was under the 16 road. I called out "I'm here!" I heard a shout. Soon 17 climbed to the side of the bridge near my car, "How are you doing?" he asked.
  "Not too bad," I said, "but my feet and legs 18 as if they're broken.”
  "We'll have you out of there just as 19 as we can," he said. They didn't get me out until the next morning. I had been in the 20 for 14 hours.

A few years ago I was shopping with a friend and his 12-year-old daughter in downtown San Francisco．A street musician，whom my friend happened to know from his own musician day，was playing the saxophone on a street corner．His name was Clifford，and he had attracted a large crowd with his performance．After he finished，my friend introduced him to me and his daughter．Clifford asked her if she played any instrument．When she replied that she was taking trumpet (小号) lessons and played in her junior high school band，he said，“That’s fine，little lady．Learn your instrument well and you can play anything．”Somehow these simple yet wise words struck me as suitable not only for a trumpet player but  also for a reader．If you learn to read well，you can read anything you want—not just newspapers and magazines，but more difficult material like philosophy，film criticism，military history—whatever interests you as your confidence grows．You would not be limited in any way．If you have the vocabulary –or    at least a good dictionary near at hand—you can pick up a book，concentrate on it, and make sense of the writer’s words．
In the United States，reading instruction often ends at elementary school，so students sometimes have difficulty as they progress through school．They must take their assignments，armed only with their elementary，school reading skills．The result，too often，is frustration (挫折) and loss of confidence．And the assigned reading in your college courses will be even greater than they were in high school．Developing Reading Skills is designed to accomplish several tasks：to show you the skills that will enable you to read with greater comprehension，to help you deal with reading assignment with confidence，and to teach you to become an active reader．
