Growing up, I wanted to be just like my mom. She was kind. People always seemed to feel comfortable in her presence. For years, she was a volunteer in our community. I loved going to the local nursing home with her where she taught a ceramic class.
On one summer day, Mama told me to get changed and meet her at the car.
I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends. Why did she have to ruin everything? I imagined the cool lake water. Irritated, I climbed into the car and slammed the door shut. We sat in silence. I was too upset to make conversation.
“Tasha, would you like to know where we are going?” Mama asked calmly.
“No,” I said.
“We are going to volunteer at a children’s shelter today. I have been there before and I think it would benefit you,” she explained.
When we reached the shelter, Mama rang the doorbell. Moments later, we were greeted by a woman. She led us to the front room where all of the children were playing. I noticed a baby whose body was scarred with iron marks. I was told it was because she wouldn’t stop crying. The majority of the children had noticeable physical scars. Others hid their emotional wounds.
As I took in my surroundings, I felt a gentle tug on my shirt. I looked down to see a little girl looking up at me. “Hi. You want to play dolls with me?” she asked. I looked over at Mama for reinforcement. She smiled and nodded. I turned back and said, “Sure.” Her tiny hand reached up and held mine, as if to comfort me.
My mom taught me a valuable lesson that summer. I returned to the shelter with her several times. During those visits, some of the children shared their troubled pasts with me and I learned to be grateful for what I had. Today as I strive to instill (逐渐灌输) these values in my own child, I reflect back to that experience. It was a time that I will never forget.

九年级英语阅读理解困难题查看答案及解析
When I was growing up, I was ashamed to be seen with my father. He was severely crippled(跛的) and very short. And when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. If he was ever noticed or bothered, he never let on(流露).
It was difficult to coordinate our steps—his slow, mine impatient—and because of that, we didn't say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to adjust(调整, 适应) to you.”
He never talked about himself as an object of sympathy(同情), nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a “good heart", and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him. I believe that is a proper standard by which we can judge people, even though I still don't know exactly what “a good heart" is.
Unable to engage in many activities, my father still tried to participate in some way.
I now know he participated in some things indirectly through me, his only son. When I played ball, he “played” too. When I joined the Navy, he “joined” too. And when I came home on leave, he saw to it that(确保) I visited his office. Introducing me, he was really saying, “This is my son, but it is also me, and I could have done this, too, if things had been different.” Those words were never said aloud.
He has been gone many years. I often wonder if he sensed my unwillingness during our walks. If so, I just want to tell him how sorry I was and how I regretted it.
Now I think of him when I complain about small affairs, when I am envious(羡慕的, 嫉妒的) of others’ good fortune, when I don't have a "good heart."
At such times, I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance, and say, “You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you.”
1.The author felt unhappy while walking with his father mainly because ________.
A.it was hard for them to walk at the same pace B.he felt pity for his father's physical disability
C.he didn't want others to know he had an ugly father D.it was not easy for his father to keep balance
2.The word “participate” probably means “________”.
A.join B.prevent C.fit D.avoid
3.It can be inferred from the text that ________.
A.the father was proud of his only son B.the father took part in all his son’s activities
C.the author was upset when asked to his father’s office D.the author was an outstanding player
4.In the last paragraph, the author tries to tell us that he________.
A.will follow his father's standards of being a good person
B.will learn from his father and try to be a good father himself
C.regrets his unwillingness to walk with his father
D.is now glad to help his father to walk
5.What's the best title of the passage?
A.Look for “Good” in Others B.This Is My Son
C.I'll Follow You D.Judge with Your Heart

I remember when I was growing up ,my mom always said ,“Half the fun of doing anything is sharing it with others .” It’s so true .Friends allow us to enjoy the taste of our success and our joys and comfort us in our challenging moments. They provide a mirror for us to learn more about ourselves .I’ve always looked at friends as the family members.They enrich our lives .As Robert Louis Steven once said,‘‘A friend is a present which you give yourself.’’
To be a good friend,①成为一个好的听众是很重要的.Hear what your friend says first rather than making conclusions(结论)quickly. Sometimes it is useful to repeated their words back to them, it can help them to realize whether their words were what they wanted to say.
Patience is also important in being a good friend. You know the old golden rule, “Care for others they way you would like them to care for you.” The support of a friend during a difficult time could make the difference between success and failure. ② Encouragement and confidence are the best gifts that can change a person’s life.
We should choose our friends carefully, because they can have a huge effect on our life. As someone told me“The attitudes of your friends are like the button(按钮) on a lift. They will either take you up or down.
1.What’s the opinion of Robert Steven about friends?
2.Is patience important in being a good friend?
3.Why should we choose our friends carefully?
