Two children stood outside the door with old ...

Two children stood outside the door with old coats. “Any old papers, Lady?” asked one of them.

I was busy. I wanted to say no, but I saw that their shoes were broken and wet. “Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot tea.” They came in, saying nothing. Their shoes left snow on the floor.

I gave them tea and bread to protect them against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started my housework again.

The silence in the front room surprised me. I looked in.

The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked me in a low voice, “Lady, are you rich?”

Am I rich? Oh, no! I looked at my old things in my room.

The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟) carefully. “Your cups match your saucers.”

They left then, holding their papers against the wind. They hadn’t said thank you. They didn’t need to. They had done more than that. The blue cups and saucers were simple. But they said that they matched. The potatoes and meat before me, a roof over our hands, my husband with a job—these things matched, too.

I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The prints of their small shoes were still wet on my floor. I let them be. I wanted them there to remind me how rich I was.

1.The writer let the two children in _________.

A. to offer them some warm clothes        B. to serve them tea and food

C. to sell them some old papers            D. to show them how rich she was.

2.We can learn from the passage that_______.

A. the writer was in fact not very rich

B. the children took away many old papers

C. the writer’s husband was out of work

D. the two children were looking for a job

3. It can be inferred(推断) from the passage that _______.

A. it was snowing outside when the story happened

B. the two children thanked the writer and then left

C. the two children were not polite to the writer

D. the writer had a set of new furniture in her house

4.The underlined sentence “I let them be” means　 “_________”.

A. I dislike them                        B. I didn’t want to see them

C. I cleaned them                        D. I left them there

As I stood outside with my two dogs yesterday , it was so cold that my nose and face felt frozen ( 结冰的).

Of course, that doesn’t matter to Ricky and Lucy. They have a habit that they must find a place to fight with each other no matter how cold or hot it is.

As cold as it was, I was excited thinking about how wonderful this special cold really was.

Then the sun broke through the clouds and memories of summer’s really hot days came through my mind. I could remember standing in heat of the afternoon, with sweat pouring down my head and the hot, burning sun against my face.　 I told myself then and there that in the cold of the winter I would wish I had this heat. Because of the special cold, I enjoy the heat more.

So I realized that without the extremes in my life, I would never appreciate the days

When things just right. without the extremes, life would be boring. For example, heath problems remind us that we need to pay more attention to how we live.

Now, I want to start finding a reason to be happy, even if it’s simply the fact that I’m still alive in the world.
