I was wandering around the Albuquerque International Sunport Airport. My flight had been delayed and I heard an announcement: “If anyone near Gate A – 4 understands Arabic(阿拉伯语)，please come to the gate immediately. ” Gate A – 4 was my own gate. I went there.

An older woman was crumpled (蜷缩成一团的) on the floor, she reminded me of my grandmother.

“Talk to her,” urged the flight agent. “We told her the flight was going to be late, and she did this.”

I bent over to put my arm around the woman and spoke uncertainly. “Shu-dow-a, shu-bid-uck, habibti? She stopped crying. She thought the flight had been canceled. She needed to be in El Paso for a medical treatment the next day. I said, “You’ll get there, just late. Who is picking you up? Let’s call him.”

We called her son. In English, I told him that I would stay with his mother until we got on the plane. She talked with him. Then we called her other sons just for fun. Then we called my dad, and they spoke for a while in Arabic and found out that they had several shared friends. After that, I called some Palestinian poets I know and let them chat with her.

She was laughing a lot by then, patting my knee and answering questions. She pulled a bag of home-made cookies filled with nuts and topped with sugar from her bag and offered them to the women at the gate. To my amazement, no one refused. It was like a sacrament (圣餐). The traveler from Argentina, the mom from California, the lovely woman from Laredo —we were all smiling, covered with the same sugar.

I looked around that gate and thought: This is the world I want to live in, one with no anxiety. This can still happen anywhere, I thought. Not everything is lost.

A. She was highly skilled in speaking Arabic.

I am beginning to wonder whether my grandmother isn’t right when she complains, as she frequently does, that children nowadays aren’t as well-behaved as they used to be. Whenever she gets the opportunity, she recounts in detail how she used to be told to respect the elders and betters. She was taught to speak only when she was spoken to, and when she went out on her own, she was reminded to say 'please' and 'thank you'. Children in her day, she continues, were expected to be seen and not heard, but these days you are lucky if you ever hear parents telling their children to mind their p’s and q’s.

If you give her the chance, she then takes out of her drawer the old photograph album which she keeps there, and which she never tires of displaying. Of course when you look at pictures of her parents, you feel sure that, with a father as stern-looking as that, you too would have been "seen and not heard". He had a lot of neatly cut hair, long side-whiskers and a big moustache. In the photographs, he is always clutching (抓住) his coat with one hand, while in the other he holds a thin walking stick. Beside him sits his wife, with their children around her: Granny and her elder brothers. It always occurs to me that perhaps those long, stiff, black clothes were so clumsy to a little girl, that she hadn’t enough breath left to be talkative, let alone mischievous (淘气的). It must have been a dull and lonely life too, for she stayed mainly at home during her childhood, while her brothers were sent away to school from an early age. Despite their long black shorts and their serious expressions in the photographs, I always suspect that their lives were considerably more enjoyable than hers. One can imagine them telling each other to shut up or mind their own business, as soon as their parents were out of sight.

Going to see Granny on Sundays used to be a terrible experience. We would always be warned in advance to be on our best behavior, since my mother made a great effort to show how well brought up we were, in spite of our old, comfortable clothes, our incomprehensible (to Granny) slang, and our noisy games in the garden. We had to change into what Granny described as our "Sundays best" for lunch, when we would sit uncomfortably, kicking each other under the table. We were continually being ordered to sit up straight, to take our elbows off the table, to wait till everybody had been served, not to wolf down our food, nor to talk with our mouths full. At length we would be told to ask to be excused from the table and ordered to find quiet occupations for the rest of the day. We were always very bad-tempered by the evening, and would complain angrily all the way home.

Yet though we hated the Sunday visit, we never questioned the rules of good manners themselves. I remember being greatly shocked as a child to hear one of my friends telling her father to shut up. I knew I could never have spoken like that to my father and it would never have occurred to me to do so.

However, my childhood was much freer than Granny’s. I went to school with my brother and I played football with him and his friends. We all spoke a common language, and we got up to the same mischief. I would have died if I had had to stay indoors, wear a tight dress, and sew.

But I do sometimes look wistfully (惆怅地) at an old sampler which hangs in the hall, which was embroidered (刺绣) by an even more distant relative—my great-great-aunt, of whom, regrettably, no photograph remains. It was done as an example of her progress in learning. The alphabet is carefully sewn in large colored childish letters from A to Z, and below it a small verse reads:

Mary Saunders is my name,

And with my needle I worked the same,

That by it you may plainly see

What care my parents have for me.

It must have taken that little five-year-old months and months of laborious sewing, but, in a circle in a bottom corner of the sampler, there is a line: "Be Ever Happy".

1.The writer’s grandmother will complain that ______.

A. children used to be mischievous

B. children behave worse than they did in the past

C. children are often reminded of what to do

D. children are very badly behaved

2.Visiting Granny on Sundays was a terrible experience because ______.

A. the writer was not so well raised as she was required to pretend

B. Granny continually warned the writer to be on her best behavior

C. Granny was always describing the writer’s "Sunday best"

D. the writer was always blamed for not behaving well

3.From Paragraph 4, we can infer that the writer ______.

A. seldom spoke to her father in the way her friend did

B. was never questioned about the rules of good manners

C. never doubted the value of the strict rules at that time

D. was worried that her friend’s father would be shocked

4.The writer looked wistfully at the sampler, because______.

A. it was embroidered by a relative.

B. she wished she could sew herself.

C. it called to mind the values of good old days.

D. she had no photographs of Mary Saunders.

C. expected we would find happiness in sewing

高二英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

It was the beginning of the school year a few years ago and I had a little boy in my class who came from a non­English speaking home. He was very quiet and shy. I wasn’t sure how much he understood during the school day and I was especially concerned that he just stood by himself at break time and did not play.If I tried to talk to him，he would turn away and tightly shut his eyes to hide from me.

After a day or two of this，I decided to seek the help from one of my outgoing and friendly little girls.I called her over and she ran to me，ready to help.

I immediately began a long speech about what I needed from her.I asked her if she would try to get him to play，and I started talking quickly about all these suggestions on how she could start communicating with him. I explained she could do this，she could do that，she could try this idea，she could try that idea.She touched my arm to stop my talking and looked up at me in that wise and special way that only a six­year­old can，and said，“Don’t worry.I speak kid.” And she ran off.

I stood there all alone，silently watching her.It took less than a minute for the two new friends to run off，hand in hand，happily joining a game of tag (捉人游戏) taking place all over the gym.

I often think of that small moment，about what I learned and how important it is for all teachers to speak kid—big kid，little kid and middle kid.I know my focus must be on teaching students how to think，how to approach problems，and how to figure out solutions and teaching them never to let the_opportunity away.We must be ready to learn from our students because those “teachable moments” during the school days are for us，the teachers，as well as our kids.

1.Why did the author worry about the boy?

A．He didn’t dare to look at the author in the eyes.

B．He couldn’t speak English as well as other students.

C．He failed to understand what the author taught.

D．He was unwilling to communicate with others.

2.By saying “I speak kid”，the girl meant that she could________.

A．speak the language that kids understand

B．speak the boy’s native language

C．know what kids want to say

D．speak well like a little kid

3.The underlined words “the opportunity” refer to the chance to________.

A．play at break time　　 B．learn from students

C．solve problems　　 D．speak kid

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A．Gold will shine everywhere.

B．Children are more friendly than adults.

C．Teachers’ thoughts are different from students’．

D．You learn something every day if you pay attention.
