When my mother died, I was cooking.

One weekend, my husband suggested we cook together. I’d spoken to my mother earlier that day on the phone. I’d told her about our life. She yawned and we said goodbye to one another.

I didn’t know then what I would know 16 hours later. I hadn’t even asked how she was doing. My mother died.

My mother was my best friend. After she died, I felt so lonely. The only person I wanted to talk to about my grief was my mother. The only person who could help me was the one who was missing, however much love and support people gave me.

My mother gave me many things, but an education in cookery was not one of them. She liked eating more than cooking.

But she had learned to cook when she was a teenager and she had some brilliant recipes (食谱).

I know everyone says this, but my mother made the best roast beef dinners in the world. And, above all, fish pie! Almost every week, she would buy a prepared fish pie. Then she would bring it home and make her own white sauce (沙司).

My mother never got around to teaching me how to make a white sauce—and I never got around to asking her. Now that she was gone, I would have to teach myself.

So this became my focus. For the first few weeks, I managed to live on instant foods. But one night, a fish pie mix caught my eye at the store.

When I got home, I set myself in front of our electric stove. Armed with a recipe, I tried to teach myself to make a white sauce.

Halfway through the recipe, I couldn’t believe it—I’d made a white sauce! On my own! I could do this! Then I remembered: I had always hated fish pie.

Admiring my sauce, I wondered why I was so committed to making a dish I had hated for 25 years. Why was it suddenly so important to me?

I spooned the sauce over the fish. Then I ate the pie. It was delicious. More importantly, something strange had happened. The act of making a meal had calmed me.

It helped me find peace.

高一英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

When we do something, we all have our own plans. Some people are born planners. I can’t claim (宣称) to be one of that kind of people. Most of the time, I try to at least expect what might go wrong. I have taken to making lists and, although I’m not yet achieving perfection, I usually manage to achieve goals. But there are times when even the best plans do not succeed. All that is left then is to smile and to make or do something using whatever is found.

Hanukkah (光明节) came early this year, perhaps too soon after Thanksgiving to allow us to prepare well. During the first night of Hanukkah, the Hanukkah candles were nowhere to be found in the entire Dallas area where we lived. Birthday candles wouldn’t work! The tall long thin candle fell in small drops. “What would our ancestors do?” I thought. “What shall I do now? That’s where ingenuity comes from. Don’t be nervous and worried. Never let missing candles spoil a family celebration.” Later what we did find was a bag of tea lights. The long, silver bread tray became the base for our tea lights. The younger ones were wide-eyed and happy as Grandpa lit the first tea light and all recited the blessing. We sat at the dining table, happy to be together and the food was plentiful.

No matter how imperfect it is, the fact that families gather to share a special event, an event that has held meaning for so many generations of families, is the meaning itself and forms the important part of the observance (仪式). What we need to remember, and to carry with us, is the knowledge that togetherness is much better than all other concerns.

1.How does the author feel about perfect planning according to Paragraph 1?

A. It should be an aim when we are doing things.

B. It is well worth considering carefully.

C. It often takes too much great effort.

D. It plays an important part in our daily life.

2.From the passage, what can we infer?

A. We should know well about our limited weaknesses.

B. We should make the most of the available resources.

C. We should get well prepared for the coming festival.

D. We should feel confident about our own abilities.

3.What does the underlined word “ingenuity” in the second paragraph mean?

A. Courage.　　 B. Curiosity.　　 C. Custom.　　 D. Creativity.

4.What does the author think highly of?

A. Personal abilities.　　 B. Personal experience.

C. Family reunion.　　 D. Cultural difference.

We are often told to pay attention to 1. our mothers tell us. Most of us enjoy listening to our mothers speaking. Scientists have found that our brains greatly prefer the voices of our own mothers to 2. of other people.

Scientists at the Stanford University, in the United States, recently looked into this. They scanned (扫描) children’s brains while they 3. (listen) to different sounds, including their mothers’ voices. They found that 97 percent of the time, children could recognize their mothers’ voices at once.

4. (hear) their mothers’ voices makes children’s brains more active. We 5. (usual) just use one part of our brain to deal with sounds when we hear something. But when we hear our mothers’ voices, many parts of the brain, including those in charge of reward and emotion, start to work as well.

Why do we respond so strongly 6. our mothers’ voices? It starts even before we’re born. When children are still in the womb (子宫) or have just been born, they hear their mothers talking. This makes babies feel 7. (comfort) and teaches them language and social skills, even though they are still very young. The babies learn to recognize their mothers’ voices as a rewarding sound. Later, when this sound is heard again, more attention 8. (pay) to it.

Some sounds are necessary for our 9. (survive) while others bring us pleasure. Both types are recognized by our brains as rewarding sounds. Most human voices are not recognized in this way, since we hear them so often. 10., mothers’ voices are different, as they bring us a lot of comfort.

When we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.

People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Everything else seems blurry. Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near-sighted. People who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too.

Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.

Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle. To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distances as people with two eyes.

1.We should take good care of our eyes________.     .

2.When things far away seem indistinct(模糊不清) , one is probably________.     .

3.The underlined word blurry in the second paragraph probably means_______.

4.Having two eyes instead of one is particularly useful for_______
