My grandfather was a teacher. He was the headmaster of a school for boys between thirteen and eighteen. I know that he was a kind and gentle man at heart, because when I was young, he gave me presents, and seated me on his knee, and told me stories. But I believe the boys at his school were afraid of him.
At school, when he walked into a room full of noisy boys, there was silence at once. When he looked at a boy with a certain look in his eyes, the boy went red in the face, and looked down at his shoes. If a boy brought him poor, careless work that was not the best the boy could do, my grandfather would pick up the boy’s book and throw it across the room, shouting, “Do it all again, and bring it back to me in the morning!” If the boy was late, or if he forgot to bring the work, he had to do it again, and again, and yet again. My grandfather never forgot.
He was a very different man at school from the man I saw day by day in his own home.
1.I knew my grandfather was kind and gentle, because _________
A.he was a teacher.
B.he let me sit on his knee and told me stories.

I have a good memory of my grandfather,Jack. He was sitting in his armchair in the front room.
I sat next to him. We were reading aloud,our heads bent over the page in front of us,a finger marking the words;separated by seven decades,brought together by words. It's a common scene in British families;however,in our case,the usual order of things is reversed(颠倒).Granddad had been blind since I was tiny,so I was reading to him.When reading aloud,people usually read something that's of interest to the listener. So I didn't read children's books;I read the sorts of things Granddad liked to hear about. Much of the vocabulary in Granddad’s reading material was far beyond me. When I met unfamiliar words,I'd spell them out.
Granddad would help me. It must have been painful for him to hear news;but he never hurried me along or complained. Our reading wasn't really about getting knowledge. It was a way for us to spend time together.
My grandfather wasn't always blind. He had been a good carpenter(木匠).The first Christmas of my parents' marriage,he built my mother a bookcase,which now belongs to my son Jonah,providing a link between four generations.
I was a fortunate child;I spent a lot of time with my grandfather,and he opened the world to me in a particular way. Reading was our way of building a relationship that has had a lasting effect on me. In the school holidays,I sometimes accompanied him on trips to the seaside with the local association for the blind. This might seem strange,but I felt that my personal value was realized because I could finally do something for Granddad.
A decade later,I found a position in a nursing home,which reminded me of my early experiences;reading to senior citizens was a connection back to Granddad. More than simple conversation,reading aloud is a connection between two individuals and it can have a big emotional(情感的)effect on elderly people.
1.What can we know from the first paragraph?
A.The author's grandfather was born blind.
B.The author is seventy years younger than her grandfather.
C.The author often sat opposite to her grandfather while reading.
D.It's quite common in Britain that children read to their grandfathers.
2.Why didn't the author choose to read children's books?
A.To expand her knowledge.
B.To make her vocabulary bigger.
C.To show off in front of her grandfather.
D.To satisfy the needs of her grandfather.
3.How did the author feel during the trips with Granddad?
A.Proud. B.Troubled.
C.Curious. D.Embarrassed.

My grandfather was a wonderful gardener. As long as I could remember, he had grown a garden full of vegetables in the back of his yard. He grew different kinds of vegetables. One year he even tried pumpkins. The pumpkins did turn out well.
As children, my sister and I would spend time looking after the garden with him. We would learn about planting seeds. My grandfather would show us how the beans would climb up the fence and he built up beyond the fence to let them climb even higher. I was always surprised to see them grow even taller than me.
The pride of my grandfather’s garden was his tomatoes. Every year as soon as the tomato bloomed, I would ask my grandfather when we could eat the tomatoes. He would say, “ Not yet.”
I would ask the next week, “Can we pick them yet?”
He would answer, “Not yet.”
Finally , I would be sure that they were ripe. When so many bright red tomatoes hung on the branches, I would go up to my grandfather and ask, “ Can we pick them now?”
He enjoyed seeing my sister and I eat the tomatoes. I think the garden was my grandfather’s way of sharing his blessing with those around him. The garden always had more than enough produce for my grandparents and for my family, so he would give some to anyone who would accept. He hoped we could pass his generosity to others.
As he grew older, I would look after the garden for him. My grandfather never expected me to do all of it for him, but I could always see the pride on his face when everything was complete.

高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
My grandfather died more than twenty-five years ago. I was fifteen then. He was kind, strong, fair, and very funny. When I was a young musician, he was my biggest fan. I played my violin for him when he visited, and he loved everything, but each time he had one request. “Could you play Amazing Grace%” he asked, full of hope and with a twinkle in his eye, because he knew my answer was always, “I don’t know that one!” We went through this routine at every major holiday, and I always figured I’d have time to learn it for him later.
About the time I entered high school and started guitar, Grandpa got cancer. The last time I saw him alive was Thanksgiving weekend in 1985. My mom warned us that Grandpa didn’t look the same anymore and that we should prepare ourselves. For a moment I didn’t recognize him. He looked so small among all the white sheets. We had all gathered in Ohio for the holiday, and I’m sure we all knew we were there to say good-bye. I can see now that Grandpa held on long enough to see us each one more time. I remember how we ate in the dining room and laughed and talked while Grandpa rested in his hospital bed. I wonder if it was sad for him to be alone with our voices and laughter. Knowing Grandpa, he was probably content.
The next morning, I found my moment alone with him. I pulled out my guitar, tuned to his appreciative gaze, and finally played for him Amazing Grace. I had worked on it for weeks, knowing it never mattered whether I actually played it well and choosing not to believe as I played that it was my last concert for my biggest fan. The cancer had stolen his smile, but I saw joy in his eyes. He held my hand afterward, and I knew I had done something important.
I argued with people all through college about my music major. I was told by strangers that music wouldn’t make me any money and it wasn’t useful like being a doctor. But I know first-hand that with music I was able to give my grandpa something at a point when no one else could.
1.At first the author didn’t play Amazing Grace for Grandpa because.
A. she hadn’t learned it yet B. she found it difficult to play
C. she disliked playing it D. her grandfather was just joking
2.From the last sentence in Paragraph 2 we can infer that Grandpa .
A. treasured love from family B. was used to living alone
C. was too weak to feel anything D. was optimistic about his health
3.When the author finally played Amazing Grace for Grandpa, she .
A. made him smile joyfully
B. knew she must play it well
C. brought him love and comfort
D. believed she could play it many times for him
4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The author was 15 when she wrote the article.
B. The author has a great affection for her grandfather.
C. The author prefers to be a doctor rather than a musician.
D. The author is confident that music will make her much money.
