A few days ago my wife sent me out to buy something. When I came home, I handed her a paper bag and said, “Here are the apples you wanted.” She looked in the bag, and then she looked at me. “I told you,” she said slowly, “to buy some eggs.”
I felt worried about my absent-mindedness (心不在焉,健忘) , so I went to see a doctor. He was a very kind man. “I have seen many people like you. It’s nothing to worry about,” he said. “If you know you are absent-minded, you are all right. But if you do not know you’re absent-minded, you may be really in trouble.”
“Many famous people were absent-minded,” the doctor told me. “Thomas Edison was standing in line one day to pay his taxes. When he arrived at the window, he found that he had forgotten his own name. He had to ask the man who was behind him to tell him who he was.”
I felt much better and got up to leave. “Thank you, doctor,” I said. “How much do I have to pay you?”
“Ten dollars for the check-up ,” the doctor said.
“But doctor, I did not have a check-up!”
For a moment the doctor looked puzzled. Then he said, “Oh, yes, it was the patient before you who had a check-up. How absent-minded I am!”
1.It can be inferred (推断) from the first paragraph that when the author’s wife heard what her husband told her, she was ______.
A. excited B. surprised
C. sad D. proud
2.The doctor took Edison’s story for example ______.
A. to make fun of Edison
B. because he liked telling stories
C. to show absent-mindedness is common among people
D. to make the author laugh
3.According to the passage, who was/were absent-minded?
A. Only the author. B. The author and the doctor.
C. The doctor alone. D. The author's wife.

I've always loved pigeons(鸽子). Some years ago I managed to persuade my wife to let me buy a few and start 16 them myself. They cost a lot of money and so it spoilt(破坏) our 17 a bit, but my wife never actually stopped me so I 18 carried on. I learnt so much about them that I could19a good racer anywhere and I bought some beauties. My pigeons won some top races, and I even began to make a bit of 20 .
You see, people are prepared to pay big prices if they get to know that your pigeons are 21big prizes.
My wife had been changing her 22 to the pigeons over the last year or two anyway. She was quite 23 of all the prizes we’d won. Then there was the travelling, which she liked. You see some one has to take the pigeons a 24 way off and set them free. Some of the 25 were really nice. I never travelled. I used to like to wait at home and see them come in. They’ve got this wonderful sense of 26 , which can bring them back home so quickly. They’d flown hundreds of miles sometimes 27 storms or against strong winds. And there they’d come, tiny white birds against the great 28 . Then I'd watch them 29 round and come down onto the landing shelf. I'd look at my watch and think, “My goodness, that’s a good 30 . ”And I'd take off the little leg ring and push it through the machine to 31 what time he’d arrived. Then my wife would32 up and say, “Has he arrived yet?” Then we would work out if we’d won 33 .
Then last year we had a 34 ! All of them got some sort of flu and 35. It was terrible. I had to burn them all. We lost a fortune, of course.

One day my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. The other woman my wife wanted me to visit was my mother, who has been living alone for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it impossible to visit her often.
That Friday after work, when I arrived at her house, my mother waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary.
We went to a restaurant that, although not classical, was very nice and comfortable. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print. “It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small,” she said. “Then it’s time that you relax and let me return the favor,” I answered.
During the dinner, we had a pleasant conversation nothing special but catching up on recent events of each other’s life. We talked so much that we missed the movie.
As we arrived at her house later, she said, “I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I agreed.
A few days later, my mother died of a heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance to do anything for her.
Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place mother and I had dined. A note said: paid this bill in advance. I wasn’t sure that I could be there; but I paid for two plates-one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you, son.” At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: ‘I LOVE YOU’ and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till some “other” time.
1.According to the passage, we know the writer’s mother .
A. lives with her son’s family
B. wanted to invite her son to have dinner again
C. wrote a letter to tell her son about her illness
D. died of a heart attack all of sudden
2.The author found a note written by after his mother died.
A. his mother B. his wife
C. himself D. his children
3.What do you think is the best title of this passage?
A. My Mother’s Life B. An Unforgettable Meal
C. Love is Something You should never put off D. My Mother And I

高一英语完形填空简单题查看答案及解析
Several years ago, I began asking my friends and family to tell me something about their passwords. Yes, I understand why passwords are universally hated: the pressure they put on our memory and the endless demand to update them. I hate them too. But there is more to passwords than their annoyance. In the fact that we construct them so that we can remember them, they take on secret lives.
There was a former prisoner whose password includes what used to be his prison ID number to constantly tell him not to go back. And there was a childless 45-year-old woman whose password is the name of the baby she lost in her 25 (her way of trying to keep him alive, I guess).
Sometimes the passwords were playful. Several people said they used “incorrect” for theirs so that when they forgot it, the software automatically promoted them with the right one (“your password is incorrect”).
Some passwords were striking for their uniqueness. After reading Sheryl Sandberg’s book Lean in: Women, Work and the Will to Lead, Cortni Kerr, a running partner of mine, found her role model and began using “Wwssdol9”, which stood for “What would Sheryl Sandberg do” plus “19” for the year (2019) of the password’s creation. “TnsitTpsif” was the password of another friend, a computer scientist who loves wordplay. It stood for “The next sentence is true. The previous sentence is false”. For my friend, it was a playful reference to the knots that language can tie.
The 4622 that my wife used in her passwords was not just the address of her father’s childhood home but also a reminder of his strength. Apparently, when the former 120 kg football standout was a small boy, he had to sing his home address (4622 South 28th West Avenue) in one full breath rather than try to say it normally. Otherwise, his stutter (口吃) would embarrass him.
1.Why did the prisoner use his prison ID number in his password?
A.To rebuild his reputation. B.To remind him to act legally.
C.To fight against his poor memory. D.To hide the unpleasant experience.
2.What did Cortni Kerr think of Sheryl Sandberg’s book?
A.Doubtful. B.Interesting.
C.Creative. D.Inspiring.
3.What might be the best title for the text?
A.The reasons why people hate passwords.
B.The unusual passwords.
C.The secret lives of passwords.
D.The best ways to make your passwords unique.
