Last Tuesday I took two daughters, aged five and seven, to town by car. It began to rain 36 , so I decided I would leave the children in the car 37 I rushed into a shop. I warned the girls not to  38  anything and told them I would be back within a few minutes. Then I locked all the doors and left  39  happily out of the window.

I returned to the car in less than five minutes but the girls had  40 ! I could hardly believe my eyes. The car doors were  41  locked, the windows tightly shut and on the back seat were only two coats. Being   42  , I ran to the corner of the street  43 there was no sign of them. I rushed up to an old lady nearby and asked  44 _she had seen two small girls but she said “No”.

Feeling quite sick with fear, I sat on the driver’s seat, and went to stop trembling (发抖). Suddenly, I heard a merry laugh  45  me. I got out of the car, ran round to open the boot (车尾行李箱) and inside were two very red-faced and 46  children. They had obviously pulled out the back seat, climbed behind it and then been unable to push the seat forward again.  47  tears in my eyes, I leaned forward and pulled their ears.

We have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four. Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner. I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang. Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests' coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom.

The guests arrived. I introduced my two daughters to each of them. The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids.

Each of the guests made a particular fuss over Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her hair and her smile. They said she was a remarkable girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age.

I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big "to do" over the younger one because she's the one who seems more easily hurt. We do it with the best of intentions.

But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child. I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshined. I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying.

I said, "What are you doing, my dear?"

She turned to me with a sad expression and said, "Mommy, why don't people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because I 'm not pretty? Is that why they don't say nice things about me as much?"

I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging her to make her feel better.

Now, whenever I visit a friend's home, I make it a point to speak to the elder child first.

1.The underlined expression 'make a big "to do" over' (paragraph 4) means _______.

A. show much concern about

B. have a special effect on

C. list jobs to be done for

D. do good things for

2.The guests praised Kelly for carrying coats upstairs because of her _______.

A. beautiful hair

B. pretty clothes

C. lovely smile

D. young age

3.Kristen felt sad and cried because _______.

A.    the guest gave her more coats to carry

B.    she didn't look as pretty as Kelly

C.    the guests praised her sister more than her

D.    her mother didn't introduce her to the guests

4.We can conclude from the passage that _______.

A. parents should pay more attention to the elder children

B. the younger children are usually more easily hurt

C. people usually like the younger children more

D. adults should treat children equally

高三英语短文改错中等难度题查看答案及解析

Since the 1990s, education has been required for all South Africans from age seven to fifteen. Last December, the government announced that 70% of students passed their final examination to finish high school. In 2008, the pass rate was about 63%. There have been increases each year since then.

Professor Shireen Motala says basic education is no longer a problem in South Africa. Most children stay in school until they are about sixteen. The problem is that large numbers of them leave without completing high school.

Students take an examination known as the “matric”(高考) in Grade Twelve. Professor Motala says, “Less than half of the children who started school in 2000 sat for the matric last year. Many dropped out of school, so only around 45% took the matric. And the worry is where those students actually go.” Those who drop out have to compete with better educated people for jobs.

Educational researchers also point to another problem. South African schools do not produce enough students with the skills for higher education in maths and science. Many schools are not well-equipped. Children do not see laboratories, and, as a result, their science marks are not very good. They do not have libraries at school. Also, many teachers do not have the skills or training to do their jobs.

In South Africa, a number of teachers were poorly trained before. Secondly, teachers have been confused by the many educational reform efforts in the last fifteen years. Finally, language differences in the classroom have not got as much attention as they should, which is a huge problem. Subjects such as maths and science are taught in English starting at about the age of ten. But South Africa has eleven official languages.

South Africa’s minister of basic education promises a number of improvements. Angie Motshega says teacher development efforts will focus on subject and content knowledge, making sure that the correct teachers are in the correct jobs.

1.From the first paragraph we can learn that ______.

A．South Africans are badly in need of education

B．South African teenagers do very well at school

C．the South African government takes education seriously

D．South African teenagers have become more clever

2.What is the real concern of Shireen Motala?

A．Something is wrong with the country’s basic education system.

B．Most children have to find a job at an early age.

C．The final exam is too difficult for most children.

D．Most children cannot complete high school until they are 16.

3.South African students perform poorly in science for all of the following reasons, EXCEPT ______.

A．they don’t work hard enough

B．their schools do not have laboratories

C．they cannot get help from libraries

D．there are not enough skilled teachers

4.With which of the following would Shireen Motala most probably agree?

A．Schools should focus more on maths and science than any other subject.

B．More educational reforms should be carried out in South African schools.

C．The more teachers teach maths and science, the better marks students may get.

D．More attention should be paid to language differences in maths and science classes.
