Even though my grandfather was a farmer, my grandmother would iron his work clothes every day.

Because I watched her do this through my childhood, I figured every old woman in the world did it. But as the years passed, I began to question this practice. Why in the world did grandfather need his work clothes ironed? Most days, he never saw anyone but me and maybe a few other crusty (易怒的) farmers.

Grandmother never ironed my clothes, and I surely didn’t see any use in doing it for myself. My clothes were usually so dirty by 9 a.m. that any sign of ironing would be long gone.

One day when I was about 13, I asked grandmother about it. I wanted to know why she thought it necessary to devote time and effort to pressing clothes that were rarely seen and would be dirty in just a short time.

Her reply was as sweet a sentiment as I have ever heard.

She told me that grandfather was the most handsome man in the world. She loved every chance she got to show him off and make the rest of the world jealous (妒忌) that he was hers.

She said, “I want him to feel beautiful. I iron his clothes every day because for all these years, he has made me feel beautiful. He is a man worthy of respect.”

The years went on, and I watched grandmother and grandfather grow old together. I was probably 30 when I understood what beauty really was---it was grandmother ironing grandfather’s clothes happily.

1.In Paragraph 2, what may the underlined words “this practice” mean?

A.Grandmother never ironed my school clothes.

B.Grandfather didn’t need his work clothes ironed.

C.Grandfather never saw anyone but me and some farmers.

D.Grandmother always ironed grandfather’s work clothes.

2.Why didn’t the writer think it necessary to iron his clothes for himself?

A.Because he wanted to make his grandmother feel beautiful by ironing her clothes.

B.Because he never saw anyone but his grandfather and maybe a few other farmers.

C.Because he loved every chance he got to show off and make the rest of the world jealous.

D.Because his clothes were often so dirty by 9 a.m. that nobody could see any sign of ironing

3.What’s probably the title of this passage?

A.The Ironing with Love B.My Beautiful Grandmother

C.Let Others Green with Envy D.Make His Clothes Beautiful
