阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Growing up on a small farm，I lived a life that I took for granted. My father worked in the city as a plumber(水暖工). He was not highly educated，but he was smart，looking at problems in an engineer’s way. He was a man made of leather，brass and chewing tobacco who tried to teach my brother and me useful things，including respect. He also had a temper and was strict with us for he would scold us when we made some careless mistakes. Sometimes，my father seemed like a distant enemy to me and I didn’t like him very much.

One day I came home from primary school and his car was already there. Once inside，I was told by my mother that he didn’t feel well. His back hurt. My father never missed work；in fact，when he came home，he went to the barn to work even more. I remember looking at him secretly around the corner as he lay on his bed in the middle of the day.

Later，my mother told me he got multiple myeloma (多发性骨髓瘤)，a type of blood cancer. As the cancer grows，the person will shrink because the disease destroys the body’s energy and the abnormal antibodies cause problems for other cells and tissue. Bones eventually look like Swiss cheese，and when they break，they may never heal. But I didn’t realize that my father’s time was rather limited and just treated him the same way I used to.

For the last year of my father’s life，his entire day consisted of rising from his hospital bed in the living room and walking to his chair to sit and think. He was predictably in that chair when I came home one day during the ninth grade. I do not remember where my mother and brother were，but the two of us were alone.

The painter Georgia O’keeffe was born in Wisconsin in 1887 and grew up on her family’s farm. At seventeen she decided she wanted to be an artist and left the farm for schools in Chicago and New York, but she never lost her bond with the land. Like most painters, O’Keeffe painted the things that were most important to her, and nearly all her works are simplified portrayals of nature.

O’Keeffe became famous when her paintings were discovered and exhibited in New York by the photographer Levered Stieglitz, whom she married in 1924. During a visit to New York in 1929, O’Keeffe was so moved by the bleak（荒凉的） landscape and broad skies of the Western desert that she began to paint its images. Cows’ skulls and other bleached（变白的） bones found in the desert figured prominently（突出的） in her paintings. When her husband died in 1946, she moved to New Mexico permanently and used the horizon lines of the desert, colorful flowers, rocks, barren(贫瘠的) hills, and the sky as subjects for her paintings. Although O’Keeffe painted her best known works in the 1920’s, 1930’s and 1940’s, she continued to produce tributes（贡品、颂词） to the Western desert until her death in 1986.

O’Keeffe is widely considered to have been a pioneering American modernist painter. While most early modern American artists were strongly influenced by European art, O’Keeffe’s position was more independent. She established her own vision and preferred to view her painting as a private endeavor. Almost from the beginning, her work was more indentifiably American than that of her contemporaries in its simplified and idealized treatment of color, light, space, and natural forms.

1. Which of the following best tells what this passage is about ?

2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an influence on O’Keeffe’s paintings ?

3.Which of the following is most similar to O’Keeffe’s relationship with nature?

4.Why is O’Keeffe considered an artistic pioneer ?

I’m one of seven children. My three sisters and I grew up in a small bedroom with two sets of beds. We shared a closet, a dresser, and just about everything else. Our bedroom always had stuff hanging about.① How about the life of only children? I looked longingly at their perfect dolls and toys placed carefully on their perfect shelves in their perfect little girl bedrooms. They had bathrooms to themselves. These little girls would come home to everything just perfect.②

Looking back, I had to admit my “only children” friends had nice things. They had designer beds and beautiful bedrooms, but I always had someone to play with and talk to. Even if everyone else hated me, one of my sisters would not and that was all I needed.③

Our house was the center of activity for the whole neighborhood. We had dance shows and baseball games in the street.④ We had everything we ever needed because we had each other. I have come to realize that there are so many reasons that sisters make a difference to your life and I can give you a few here:

They get you. Your sisters have grown up with you so they know the entire back story of your situation and everything leading to it. They may not agree with you all the time but they never wonder why you do what you do or say what you say.

They have suffered with you through awful times. I know that when one of my sisters is unhappy, I am unhappy too. When some non-family member tries to hurt you, the claws of them will come out.

They have cheered you on. Sisters do get jealous at times but, even so, they are happy that you are doing well. They rejoice at your new bonus as long as you take them out for drinks and foods！

They are on the same diet as you. We are women in a world where thinness is equal to beauty. No matter how unjust this is, we are always on a diet. There is nothing like a sister calling and complaining about how she wants an ice cream and can’t ever have one again.

They are aging at the same rate as you. As we get older, we change, and however miserable this can be, it is heartening to know that someone shares your misery. They know what you are going through because they are going through it too.

The last and best thing about sisters is that they stick with us. We can have our upsets and misunderstandings but we always come back to each other.

I know many people reading this may have had upsets with their sisters. All I can say is communication fixes everything. If you miss your sister, tell her so. If you have a BFF (Best Friend Forever)that has stuck with you through thick and thin, adopt her as your sister and keep her close to you.

1.How does the author develop the first paragraph?

A. By making classification.　　 B. By making comparison.

C. By explaining the phenomenon.　　 D. By providing evidence.

2.The following sentence is taken from the passage. Where can it most probably be?“From a very young age, I really thought I was poor.”

A. ①　　 B. ②

C. ③　　 D. ④

3.Which is NOT the reason that sisters make a difference to your life?

A. They grow old with you.

B. They can share the same diet with you.

C. They can understand your strange behavior perfectly.

D. They stand by you when other family members hurt you.

4.The underlined word “rejoice” in Paragraph 6 probably means ________.

A. feel grateful　　 B. show great joy

C. appear surprised　　 D. get disappointed

5.From the whole passage, we can learn that the author ________.

A. has adopted her BBF as her sister

B. has expressed great sympathy for only children

C. had a better relationship with her sisters than brothers

D. has given some advice to those who had upsets with their sisters

6.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

A. Sisters Are My Fortune in Life　　 B. Family Love Is the Lasting Topic

C. Communication Fixes Everything　　 D. Sharing Things Gives You a Better Life
